Zhou Heng did not care about Merlin's actions, and Merlin was not discouraged either. He retracted his hand, and snapped his fingers in the air.

The unconscious Mountain suddenly revealed an uncomfortable expression. His body resisted instinctively, but it was of no use. His hand still loosened. The Demonic Knife that was called dodecadecarboxylic acid flew in front of Merlin.

Merlin grabbed the handle of the knife.

Zhou Heng also held on tightly to the jade pieces.

However, it seemed like Merlin was not holding the blade to deal with Zhou Heng. It's ridiculous for these people to try to dig the grave of a great man with a sword. " Merlin looked at the sword and said, "Besides, this sword is already dead." The joint point between the sword hilt and blade of the dodecadecarboxylic acid was heavily injured, as it had been cut by an even sharper sword.

Although it was latched onto by an unconventional method later on, it still could not help the dodecadecarboxylic acid extend its lifespan. It could only help it survive for a few more days.

Soon, the remaining six Demonic Knife s would become five.

"Today is a special day." Merlin said slowly.

"That's right," Zhou Heng nodded. "Today is the school's celebration, so I still need to return later to watch my friend's show." He had been out for a while. If he missed the show, it would be a great pity.

"Merlin was stunned, he obviously did not expect Zhou Heng to tell him this." Today is the day of the great man's death. " Merlin announced the correct answer to Zhou Heng.

"It's foolish of those who believe in him to want to resurrect him on this day." Holding the sword, Merlin floated to the wooden door of the clock tower.

He raised his sword high up towards the wooden door.

"Hey!" Zhou Heng rushed towards Merlin. He wanted to stop Merlin from doing so, but if he were to rashly release the baleful aura of the bell tower, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Clang! Zhou Heng was too late, the sword in Merlin's hand cut down, and then hacked onto the wooden door of the bell tower. It was different from what Zhou Heng had imagined. When the dodecadecarboxylic acid slashed against the wooden door, it actually produced a strong sound of metal colliding.

In the next second, the Demonic Knife broke.

Zhou Heng's eyes were wide opened, what kind of joke was this! Others might not know, but Zhou Heng knew how powerful the Demonic Knife that was imbued with Baleful Yin Force was. Even if the blade already had some scars, it wouldn't have broken just because of a single chop!

But the truth was, the dodecadecarboxylic acid broke in front of the two of them, and the black Qi from the sword quickly flowed out.

"No, I don't want it!" A voice came from the black fog, "I haven't drunk enough human blood, I don't want to just disappear like this!"

"Ding." At the same time, the system's announcement rang out.

"New quest triggered."

A line of annotation that only Zhou Heng could see appeared in the mass of black fog: "Scarlet Ghost, 33 achievement points." Although there weren't any special rewards, thirty-three contribution points was enough to move Zhou Heng's heart.

Zhou Heng aimed the jade fragments at the ball of black mist.

"Please!" As if it felt Zhou Heng's hostility, the ball of black mist started to beg, "Please let me go!"

"Are you going to let him go?" Merlin asked suddenly.

He could hear it? Zhou Heng looked at Merlin in shock, but Merlin's expression did not seem to be anything special, as if he had just casually asked this question.

"This big brother is begging you, please help me beg him!" "I've lived less than six hundred years. I don't want to die!"

Six hundred years was already a lot! Zhou Heng cursed in his heart, and at the same time, slowly walked towards the black mist with the broken jade.

"Big brother!" From the black fog came a weeping voice, "Please be merciful!" "I can be your horse, your horse, your horse …"

Zhou Heng's blade had already reached in front of Black Mist. "Since you've lived for six hundred years, can you show me a little of your spirit?" Zhou Heng had never seen such a good-for-nothing ghost. Thinking back to when he met Tong Renjie, he knew that even if he died, he would still be a good man. Although this Scarlet Ghost from the Demonic Knife had very high rewards, he had very low moral integrity.

But all this seemed very ordinary to Merlin.

Scarlet Ghost was able to live for 600 years precisely because of this shameless spirit. That year, the General Wisdom used "Scarlet Ghost Cut" to kill the Scarlet Ghost. Twelve years later, the Scarlet Ghost Che became a "dodecadecarboxylic acid." The secret behind it was that at the very last moment when General Wisdom was about to kill the Scarlet Ghost, his heart softened because of the Scarlet Ghost's begging. In the end, he decided to destroy the Scarlet Ghost's body and let the Scarlet Ghost's soul live within his blade. Unexpectedly, the Scarlet Ghost was able to hibernate for twelve whole years and finally succeeded in devouring his own master, causing the death of the General Wisdom.

Now, everything began to repeat itself. However, Zhou Heng was not someone who was soft-hearted like the General Wisdom. He had killed quite a few evil spirits, but he had never been soft-hearted towards them.

It seemed like this was the end of the Scarlet Ghost's story. Zhou Heng had already raised the jade pieces, and a faint golden light surrounded the jade pieces body of the sword.

Did he choose to start at this moment by saying something unintentional, or did he want history to repeat itself?

"Wow!" An emotional cry came from the black fog. If this wasn't a mass of black fog, but a man, he would definitely be crying on the ground by now.

"Listen to this big brother's advice," from within the black fog, a sobbing voice could be heard, "If you let me go, I'll definitely work hard for you!"

Zhou Heng wavered.

It would be a pity if he just killed the Scarlet Ghost. After all, it was the first time he had seen such a malicious spirit. It had to be known that even though it was Master Feng Shui, Tong Renjie's ghost, he still spoke very vaguely, but this Scarlet Ghost was actually able to speak as clearly as an ordinary person. Furthermore, he had claimed that he had lived for six hundred years, so just this point made this Scarlet Ghost extremely useful.

Although this amount of knowledge could not even be considered the tip of the iceberg when compared to the Heavenly Master System, but after experiencing a few times of losing control and losing memories, Zhou Heng no longer dared to rely on the Heavenly Master System anymore.

If there was a day when the System left him, or even stood against him, then he should at least have some other trump cards to play.

In the past, Zhou Heng would never have such thoughts, but everyone would improve, and Zhou Heng was no exception. Now, he understood more to need to think about his future.

But in the end, Zhou Heng still shook his head: "I cannot let you go. You are a ghost, you will affect the Modern World." As a teacher, Zhou Heng had his own professional ethics.

"That's easy!" An excited voice came from the black fog. "Don't you have a sword in your hand?!"

Zhou Heng looked at the jade fragment in his hand.

"I can attach myself to your sword," the black smog said excitedly, "so that my every move will be monitored by you, and I will never be able to harm anyone again!"

Everything was like a repeat of the story of the General Wisdom and the Scarlet Ghost all those years ago.
