Chapter 644: Absorbing Ghosts

Chapter 644: Absorbing Ghosts

The yin-elemental woman impacted Huis chest. He jolted backward, his eyes half-closing. Icy cold shocked through his body, freezing him to the core. A shiver ran through him from head to toe, freezing his entire body.

The second she entered him, she began infiltrating him. Icy cold yin, colder than anything hed felt so far, filled up his qi passages, his meridians, his dantian. His body temperature dropped yet again. Ice began coating his body, creating a hard, transparent shell around him.

Gui Hui! Freed from the womans hand now that shed entered Hui, Meimei raced to Huis side. She reached for his hand, but ice already covered him entirely. Sobbing, she threw her arms around him. Gui Hui, why? Why sacrifice yourself for me?

Eyelids twitching under the ice shell, Hui gave no response.

Gui Hui She sniffled and settled down beside him, putting her hand on his.

Yin fully permeated Huis body. No trace of yang remained. His eyelids shot open, and he went to stand, cackling in the womans voice. Yes yes! A youthful and powerful body! Ive

A soft cough interrupted her, coming from Huis throat the same as her voice.

She blinked. What?

Er, Elder Sister, you may have taken my body, butbut, damn, thank goodness Bai Xue isnt here

But what? the woman asked. She turned her qi inward, searching for the last traces of the disciple shed taken over. I failed to replace a mere fourth stage cultivator? Impossible!

Im sorry, but it is possible. Hui drew his phoenix fire from his soul and introduced it to her yin qi. Its time to use phoenix fire to change all her yin to yang!

The woman screamed. She struggled, fighting to escape Hui. A ghastly transparent version of the woman pulled away from Hui, no longer beautiful but monstrous, her body ruined by frostbite and years of desiccation under the ice. You wont defeat me so easily! Im much more powerful than you.

Huis body closed its eyes once again. The transparent woman pulled out halfway from his chest, her lower half still stuck inside him. The ice built up more thickly over his body, but now, it caught the woman as well.

Are you? Hui asked gently, using his mental energy to speak directly to her. Quietly, oh so quietly, he revealed his true cultivation level to the woman. At the same time, he flicked his fingers. She appears to be a ghost of some sort, so lets ensnare her with life qi. An arc of golden light swirled around the womans transparent body, calling it back to him.

The woman trembled. She stared at Hui in fear. Why? Why?Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Er, Elder Sister, we all have goals of our own, Hui said. Pulling her back into his body, he once more introduced his phoenix fire to her yin.

The woman pulled her qi away from his. I might be weak, but I still have a few tricks!

Oh? I thought you were strong? Hui asked, tilting his head. Hmm, I should destroy her mind first and effectively kill her through destroying her soul. Once I do that, I can treat what remains as a repository of yin qi and freely experiment with yin and yang.

Ah not that Im as villainous as that made me sound like! No, no. She attacked Meimei first and attempted to take over her body. This is just retribution for her foolish actions! If she hadnt attempted to take over Meimei, she wouldnt be in danger now.

As for retribution for killing her well, I basically can ignore that! After all, its Tseng Caihong who locked her here. If anyone is to blame for her death, is it this small, cute disciple who couldnt hurt a fly, or the fearsome and formidable Tseng Caihong? Obviously, its Tseng Caihong! Wouldnt it be insulting to blame this mysterious Seniors death on a weak bug like myself?

Although I cant overlook people choosing to blame the weak cultivator for their friends death, assuming this Senior still has living friends. But since its only myself and Meimei who know of this Seniors death, I think I shouldnt be in too much danger if I destroy her!

So decided, Hui turned his attention to the yin-elemental woman. Wielding life qi in one hand and phoenix fire in the other, he slashed out at her.

No! Stop! Wait. Theres so much I can teach you! the yin-elemental woman shouted.

A second later, Hui rolled his eyes at himself. Ordinary qi, obviously!

Quickly, he drew a pair of barriers talismans on his forehead, just to the side of Jizhi Zhimeis seal, then swirled the yin bead between the barriers. Snapping his fingers, he activated the barriers. They glowed for a moment, then settled into place, sealing the yin beside Jizhi Zhimeis beauty qi.

Hmm. Beauty, yin I need some more manly techniques! Maybe I should go see that mobile game swordsman cultivator or the body cultivator. After all, didnt the Tier Masters all want to teach me? I might as well learn as much as I can!

Hui opened his eyes. He stood up, shattering the ice from his body.

Meimei jumped, startled. Eh? Gui Hui?

Yes, thats me, Hui said, smiling.

She didnt take you over? Meimei asked.

Hui patted his forehead. I absorbed her yin and destroyed her soul.

Oh, Meimei said. She brightened. Can you defeat the demons now?

Hui coughed. Er, should I say Im already strong enough to defeat Ai Tuzi, and I have been the whole time? Ah probably not. I dont know. I suppose we, er, we could find out?

Meimei nodded. She jumped up and ran off, back up the ice caves toward the entrance. Lets go back and tell the others the good news!

Wait, wait, we cant know if I canMeimei, wait! Hui chased after her, hurtling through the palace.

At last, they reached the top of the palace again. Meimei walked alongside Hui, humming quietly to herself while her fingers played an invisible zither.

Hui sighed regretfully, looking over his shoulder. Ahhh, so much loot Im leaving behind! Loooot, Im sorry, Ill be back for you later! He rubbed his hands together, creating a lotus seed, and tossed it into one of the rooms.

A lotus seed in the yin valley, one in Jizhi Zhimeis pond, now one here Im going to need all my clones to loot this place by the end of it!

I wonder if I could safely call them forth again? Im seventh stage now, and I have a nascent soul. I can split off bits of my mental energy and qi safely without splitting my soul now. I even drew forth Mortal with no issues earlier. Something worth considering for later.

The light of the entrance warmed the ice palace. Meimei sprinted ahead. Everyone! We can defeat the demons!

Meimei, hold on! Hui called. Hey! Dont sign me up for that yet! I havent decided if I want to be fifth stage yet!

Listen Meimei abruptly fell silent, frozen in the doorway.

Hui stumbled into her. Meimei, what

Ai Tuzi stood over the disciples, her sword bared and bloodstained. The disciples laid on the floor around her. Tian Mo huddled over some of the weaker ones, blood dripping down his robes. A half-awake Zhang Zhisho spread her long arms over the other disciples, toughened limbs riddled with wounds.

Ah. There they are, Ai Tuzi said, chuckling.

Meimei staggered back, eyes wide. Hui trembled, desperately wishing to play dead.

Oh, fuck this.
