Chapter 236: Feint East, Strike West
Hmph hmph, she now has on her body a huge stockpile that Grandpa drew over many many years, plus the ones she drew during her occasional practice sessions, all added up to nearly ten thousand sheets!
Just smashing talismans alone could smash him to death!
She, Nan Yuanman, never fought unprepared battles! Every time she helped a client resolve their issue, she always prepared thoroughly!
Old Ghost Li was greatly shocked, quickly dodging away from the low long table, but alas, the talismans that Nan Yuanman threw were simply too many, he could dodge one, but not one two three four five six sheets!
Soon, a Dog Barking Talisman firmly stuck to his back, flashing a yellow light before quickly vanishing.
Old Ghost Li’s face turned dark and ugly, completely enraged by her: “Little bitch, you—woof woof woof woof!”
Zhou Jingchuan: “Pfft!”
Zhou Jingchuan was so amused by this sudden dog bark that he doubled over laughing: “Hahahahaha, why is there a dog barking?”
Old Ghost Li’s expression changed drastically, he hurriedly covered his mouth, glaring viciously at Nan Yuanman, tentatively spitting out a word: “You… woof woof!”
Nan Yuanman patted the talismans on her hands: “The Dog Barking Talisman is still useful, look, your mouth is much cleaner now, no more spewing shit.”
Old Ghost Li: “…” He wanted to kill this little bitch!!
Old Ghost Li clenched his teeth and stopped making a sound, staring sinisterly at Nan Yuanman, biting the pad of his middle finger, smearing the overflowing blood from the fingertip onto the brightly colored doll he had taken from the altar.
The doll’s originally obediently sitting body suddenly turned its head, accompanied by faint clicking sounds, turning to stare straight at Nan Yuanman, the arc of its bright red little mouth growing larger and larger.
A child’s sharp and crisp giggling voice came from all directions in the room.
Zhuang Zhuang and Zhou Jingchuan suddenly felt an exceptionally strong wave of grievance, the two ghosts quickly moved closer to Nan Yuanman’s side.
Zhou Jingchuan cursed: “Such thick grievance, how wronged must this ghost have been when it died.”
Zhuang Zhuang frowned, carefully sensing for a moment, his expression quite grave: “It seems like it was a small child who wasn’t very old when it died…”
Among ghosts, besides those who died unjustly, women and children had the heaviest grievance.
Women belong to yin in the balance of heaven and earth, underage children’s souls are unstable, their worldview not yet formed, after death they are most prone to generating grievance, their ghost nature is the strongest, and they are also the hardest to subdue.
Zhuang Zhuang looked at Nan Yuanman: “Perfection, this ghost might be a bit troublesome.”
“Hee hee… sister…”
While Nan Yuanman was on high alert, a very familiar childlike voice rang out, immediately after, her calf tightened, and looking down she saw a little girl with ashen face, eyes reduced to bloody sockets, whole body wrapped in grievance and ghost energy, lying at her feet.
Hands without five fingers were circling her calf.
Nan Yuanman was stunned: “Jiang Xinxin?!”
Why was Jiang Xinxin here? And why was she in this state?
Could it be…
Nan Yuanman thought of Jiang Tianzong’s ways, her face instantly becoming very ugly, she whipped her head to look at Old Ghost Li: “Did Jiang Tianzong give Jiang Xinxin to you?”
Old Ghost Li chuckled eerily, his eyes full of mockery, but he didn’t dare speak, merely holding that brightly colored doll with extra piety.
Even if Little Miss Zhen wasn’t in it now, the doll she left behind could still greatly enhance Jiang Xinxin’s strength.
At that time…
He wanted Nan Yuanman to die without a burial place!
Jiang Xinxin looked up, her face covered in grievance, complaining as she spoke: “Why did you come back to the Jiang family? If you hadn’t come back, the little princess of the Jiang family would always have been me.”
“If you hadn’t come back, Uncle and them wouldn’t hate me, Mom wouldn’t go to jail, Grandpa wouldn’t abandon me…”
“It’s all your fault.” Jiang Xinxin’s hands hugging Nan Yuanman’s calf slowly tightened: “So… sister, stay here with me, okay?”
“No way!” Nan Yuanman unhesitatingly drew her copper coin sword and stabbed at her: “My mom only gave birth to me, I have no younger sister! Don’t call me sister!”
The copper coin sword stabbed empty air.
Jiang Xinxin’s soul dispersed then regathered, her hands forming claws stabbing toward Nan Yuanman’s eyes, shrieking emotionally: “Why can you still live after I died! Nan Yuanman! Go die! Die! Die!!”
As she attacked Nan Yuanman, faint red threads silently appeared on the doll held in Old Ghost Li’s hands.
The red threads silently approached Nan Yuanman’s back.
When close to her at only half a meter, their speed suddenly accelerated.
Just as the red threads were about to pierce Nan Yuanman’s head, Zhuang Zhuang and Zhou Jingchuan suddenly appeared, helping her chop off these red threads.
“Holy shit! What the hell is this thing? Why is it like an earthworm, can’t kill it no matter how much I chop!” Zhou Jingchuan chopped off one red thread, but saw a new one grow back from the severed end, exclaiming repeatedly.
Zhuang Zhuang’s expression changed slightly, he yanked out the red thread that had stabbed into his palm, shouting to Nan Yuanman: “Perfection be careful, this thing has the ability to absorb life force!”
He had only been pierced in the palm for a few seconds, and he clearly felt his own ghost power being rapidly drained!
“Got it! You guys be extra careful too!” Nan Yuanman kept her steamed bun face serious, gripping the copper coin sword to block Jiang Xinxin’s mad attacks while dodging the red threads from behind.
Jiang Xinxin took advantage of the gap when Nan Yuanman dodged the red threads, flashing close to her calf, her sharp fingertips condensed from ghost energy instantly slicing off a large chunk of flesh from her calf.
Nan Yuanman was in such pain tears were about to fly out, she counterattacked by throwing several talismans at her.
The talismans collided with the red threads gathered in front of Jiang Xinxin, making banging sounds.
Jiang Xinxin instantly retreated, standing in the distance looking at her provocatively, stuffing the flesh into her mouth, chewing it up and swallowing directly, even licking the bloodstains flowing from the corner of her mouth with enjoyment.
Nan Yuanman: “…Urgh!” So disgusting!
Nan Yuanman slapped a medicine talisman on her own calf with a backhand, gripped the copper coin sword full of fighting spirit, and charged forward again!
At the same time, she grabbed a handful of thunder fire talismans, quickly recited the incantation in her mouth, and then scattered the talismans toward the red thread.
The thunder fire talismans she scattered seemed to have eyes, quickly sticking to the red thread and emitting a loud boom, directly blasting the red thread clean!
Jiang Xinxin saw the situation was bad, turned around to flee, Nan Yuanman flung the coffin binding rope at her, but just as the coffin binding rope was about to land on Jiang Xinxin, Old Ghost Li appeared behind her, gripped a black sword, and chopped the coffin binding rope in two.
Old Ghost Li held back from speaking, cursing inwardly, damn it, where the hell did this little ghost get these talismans from! How does she have everything!
While Old Ghost Li was vigilant that Nan Yuanman would rush up and kill Jiang Xinxin, he saw her body twist, gripping a handful of talismans and scattering them down toward his altar.
Old Ghost Li: “!!!”
“No——!”
A flash of cunning passed through Nan Yuanman’s eyes: “Explode!”
“Boom——!”
The thunder fire talismans instantly blasted the altar away, Old Ghost Li’s body stiffened, his body suffered heavy damage, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person directly collapsed softly to the ground.
Nan Yuanman was also sent flying far away by the blast wave.
“Perfection!!” Zhou Jingchuan hurriedly floated over and flailed about trying to catch her.
Nan Yuanman adjusted her position in mid-air, striving to land on Xiao Hong’s coffin body.
She squatted on the coffin lid, looked at Old Ghost Li and complained in a childish milky voice: “You adults are really very cunning.”
“You brought out so many things to obstruct me, just to make my attention focus on them, so you could buy time to move your altar, right?”
Nan Yuanman chuckled: “Let me see, what amazing thing is hidden in this altar.”
