Chapter 98: Beating A Ghost Wielder Into A House Dog
With the arrival of Li Jun and that man, the previously panicked crowd regained some of their former spirit.
A high-level official from the Circle of Friends pointed at Jiang Shan and screamed:
“Shang Bai, it’s him, he’s the one who beat Director Guo like that! He. He also said everyone in our Circle of Friends are trash!”
The young woman shouted hoarsely. Although Jiang Shan didn’t know how she, with such a performance, had become a representative for the Headquarters meeting, her ability to fabricate was quite impressive.
Jiang Shan didn’t retort, he just quietly lit a cigarette.
In his heart, he knew that the weak, no matter how much right they have, are merely flies buzzing in the ears of the strong.
As for the strong, do they need to offer more explanations to the weak?
One strike, one kill,
is enough to prove where the truth lies.
Jiang Shangbai heard the woman’s words. His face darkened as he stared intently at Jiang Shan, then he said in a low voice, with a hint of disdain:
“Jiang Shan, I know you. A high school student who controls two ghosts. It’s normal to be fearless when you’re young and inexperienced. If it were in the past, I might have wanted to recruit you. But now…”
Before he could finish speaking,
Jiang Shangbai lifted both feet simultaneously. Normally, this would be an action an ordinary person could never accomplish, but it happened strangely on him, as if some strange power was supporting his body as he rose. And after his feet were lifted.
From the shadow beneath his feet, a pair of soles resembling those of a dead person suddenly extended. These soles were covered in death spots, eerie and chilling, and replaced his feet on the ground.
He now looked like he was walking on stilts, his feet not touching the ground but suspended in mid-air, yet he could walk normally.
Because a pair of feet resembling those of a fierce ghost were taking steps for him.
“People-Crushing Ghost.”
Jiang Shan, apart from the ghost with the Ghost Domain, whom he didn’t understand well. He knew clearly the ghost Jiang Shangbai controlled.
In the original work,
there was a good evaluation of this ghost.
The People-Crushing Ghost can not only crush living people while walking, but even a ghost wielder might not be able to withstand that single kick.
Moreover, this ghost can come into contact with real ghosts.
Ghosts kicked by the People-Crushing Ghost will enter a state of stagnation for a duration of a few seconds to tens of seconds, or even minutes. During that time, the ghost will absolutely not act.
It can be said that this was the confidence Jiang Shangbai had in taking on the role of this “Temporary Captain.”
Although he had not yet controlled the Ghost Robe, with his three-layered Ghost Domain and the People-Crushing Ghost, apart from those nominated captains.
He dared to call himself the strongest below the captains!
As Jiang Shangbai activated the People-Crushing Ghost, a gray-yellow Ghost Domain, like burning paper, suddenly attacked Jiang Shan.
Among ghost wielders, when an attack is made, it’s usually with a probing intention.
After all, if their strengths are equal, fighting will only result in mutual destruction, with neither side gaining an advantage.
Since Jiang Shangbai activated both the People-Crushing Ghost and the Ghost Domain, it meant he was determined to kill Jiang Shan.
At this moment, Cao Yanhua, Director Guo, and a series of other important Headquarters officials were all present.
Jiang Shangbai’s action had only one purpose:
he wanted to establish his authority!
The target of this authority was Jiang Shan, the orphan high school student Zhao Jianguo bragged about every day!
“A three-layered Ghost Domain plus the People-Crushing Ghost, do I look that easy to bully? Why does every dog want to bite me?”
Jiang Shan was displeased, his eyes coldly fixed on Jiang Shangbai.
With a silver light that flashed like lightning, his figure disappeared from his original position.
Back when Yang Jian attacked the Circle of Friends, although Jiang Shangbai managed to block the first wave of the Ghost Eye attack with the Ghost Robe.
However, Yang Jian was within the three-layered Ghost Domain, yet Jiang Shangbai could accurately pinpoint his location, which indicated that the strength of his Ghost Domain was at least three layers.
But whether it was three layers or four.
Under the Ghost Domain of the Dead Face Ghost, which could devour supernatural phenomena, even Yang Jian and Fang Shiming’s five-layered Ghost Domain would be counter-invaded.
Let alone the mere Jiang Shangbai.
“!!!”
“Damn it, the Ghost Domain has been invaded. How can his Ghost Domain be so strong?!”
The moment his Ghost Domain was invaded, Jiang Shangbai’s face darkened. He looked around in horror, searching for Jiang Shan’s trace.
The bewildered high-level official thought Jiang Shan had fled in fear. She loudly shouted on the spot:
“Why are you running, coward! Weren’t you arrogant before? Daring to hit people from our Circle of Friends, I’ll definitely have my brother kill you sooner or later!”
“Oh? Really?”
“Of course it’s true, otherwise you…”
The woman, standing proudly in place, immediately answered the question whispered in her ear.
But she suddenly realized something was wrong, and her voice stopped abruptly.
“Cao Yanhua and Li Jun are standing next to me, how could they ask me that?!”
The woman’s heart filled with fear, she abruptly turned her head to look beside her, and in her right rear, she saw a man’s face.
Although this face was handsome,
it made her tremble all over with fear, even feeling a bit dull.
Seeing the woman frozen in fear, Jiang Shan gently patted her head and said in a flat voice devoid of any emotion:
“If that’s really the case, then it’s great. This way, I won’t have any psychological burden when I kill you, you parasite of the country, how dare a piece of trash hold a high position?”
“Stop”
Li Jun, who was about to intervene, was stopped in advance by Cao Yanhua, who had been observing him.
Cao Yanhua even quietly walked in front of Li Jun, preventing him from making a move.
Then a weird scene occurred: Jiang Shangbai couldn’t catch up, and no one from Headquarters or the ghost wielders was willing to rush to their deaths.
Then, in front of everyone,
blood-red ghost characters appeared on Jiang Shan’s hand. He showed no mercy, and slapped her without hesitation.
“Crack”
The sound of a shattered neck bone echoed in everyone’s ears.
The woman’s entire head twisted several times like a twisted rope, and even the flesh and bone on her neck were exposed.
“Thump~!”
As the woman’s corpse fell, it felt like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of everyone present.
Terror, fear, dread.
If ordinary people didn’t understand Jiang Shan’s terrifying power, the ghost wielders behind the woman truly felt the supernatural power emanating from the ghost characters.
They were only able to sense a sliver of it, yet it sent chills down their spines.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shangbai’s face was as grim as if his family had died, his hands clenched tightly, and cold sweat drenched his back.
“Not only did his Ghost Domain counter-invade my Ghost Domain, but it can also spread freely without any interference?!” Jiang Shangbai was greatly shocked.
When Fang Shiming chose the Boss of the Circle of Friends back then, he had invaded his Ghost Domain, so he understood the concept of Ghost Domain counter-invasion.
But back then, even their Boss, Fang Shiming, had experienced a slight interference when invading his Ghost Domain.
Although the interference was minimal during the invasion, it still had some effect.
But now…
Just as Jiang Shangbai stood there with a dark expression, hesitating, a silver light suddenly appeared from the sky like a judgment, shining upon him.
The moment it came into contact with the silver light, the greyish-yellow Ghost Domain, like routed soldiers, crumbled upon contact.
“My Ghost Domain is being devoured?!”
With a grim expression, Jiang Shangbai watched his Ghost Domain shrink like it was being gnawed away. His eyes bloodshot, he hardened his resolve.
Then, the corpse with death spots raised its feet and walked forward, step by step.
He intended to use the People-Crushing Ghost to crush Jiang Shan to death!
“Thump~!”
In an instant, Jiang Shangbai suddenly fell from the sky, the supernatural power supporting his suspension gone.
The impact of hitting the ground left him in a daze for a second.
“The People-Crushing Ghost was suppressed? When?!”
Jiang Shangbai, now reacting, regretted his actions immensely. However, he was in a predicament and could only beg for mercy to survive.
“Jiang Shan, I’m not as easy to deal with as you think. Let’s stop here. I don’t care about the people who died or were injured before. I can represent the Circle of Friends and offer you a vice president position. This would be good for both of us.” Jiang Shangbai said on the ground, his voice urgent.
After he finished speaking, half a minute passed with no reply.
“There’s hope!”
He rejoiced inwardly and was about to get up when a foot suddenly stomped heavily on his back, and a cold voice followed:
“I won’t kill you today. You wanted to detain the Starving Ghost, didn’t you? I’ll give you that chance.”
Hearing this, Jiang Shangbai, who was like a foot mat on the ground, seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Before he could speak, Jiang Shan continued:
“If you can’t detain it, your life is mine. As for now, I need you to leave a deposit.”
Jiang Shan produced a cleaver from who knows where, and under everyone’s gaze, he chopped off one of Jiang Shangbai’s arms.
Of course, that cleaver was imbued with the supernatural power of ghost characters.
Casually tossing the arm aside, Jiang Shan released his foot, sat down on a nearby chair, and lit a cigarette, saying:
“With your Ghost Domain, you should be able to infiltrate it. Take Li Jun and Guo Fan with you, and the three of you will form a team. This is the number of people I’m restricting.”
“Why? Isn’t it better to have more people?” Cao Yanhua asked.
Glancing at Cao Yanhua, who was speaking, Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered, then he leaned back in his chair and said:
“Too many weaklings will only accelerate the growth of starving ghosts. If you want to create a monster, you can send them all.”
He wasn’t afraid of the remaining ghost wielders holding a grudge against him. They might cower when facing ghosts.
But when facing ghost wielders like wolves, they needed to be beaten into submission with sticks.
Beat them into house dogs, and they wouldn’t bark so much.
After hearing Jiang Shan’s reply, Cao Yanhua sullenly stopped speaking.
Under the overwhelming strength, everyone tacitly regarded Jiang Shan as the “temporary captain” for this action.
“What are you all standing around for!”
Cao Yanhua’s roar made everyone present take action.
After Jiang Shangbai selected his people, he cast a fearful glance at Jiang Shan as he left.
It wasn’t just him; almost everyone looked at Jiang Shan with fear in their eyes as they left.
As for Jiang Shan having Jiang Shangbai lead Guo Fan to detain the starving ghosts, it was merely his dissatisfaction with the original work’s disdain towards Yang Jian detaining starving ghosts, which made him unhappy.
And three people was the maximum number Jiang Shan felt he could control the situation with, without causing too many unexpected changes.
“Since you like to bark so much, you can go and try it yourself.”
I’ve kept you waiting, brothers. Two chapters, six thousand words. Otherwise, splitting it into three chapters wouldn’t feel good, hahahahaha.
Gratitude to my brothers for their support!
