Chapter 881: Chapter 881: The Dean Appears! Chapter 881: Chapter 881: The Dean Appears! As he approached, Huang Xiaolong could see clearly the “ghost puppet” that “Taoist Xia” had exhausted his energy to refine.
It stood about ten feet tall, with horns on its head resembling those of the Ox Devil King, its body pitch-black and solid, not just the epheral form of a spirit. Its gaping maw was large, with huge, protruding fangs. Inside the body, a whistling wail emanated, as if it housed countless terrifying specters.
At that mont, the demon body of the ghost puppet was pasted with nurous mystical symbols, which, using their power, suppressed it and prevented it from moving.
Huang Xiaolong’s face showed uncontainable joy. “This ti I’ve made a tidy profit. That Taoist Xia surely made this wedding dress for … Hahahaha!”
Taoist Xia had thought that with his eight disciples guarding the rear mountain, and additionally the eighty-one toxic corpses present, nobody would dare to covet his ghost puppet. However, he never accounted for the existence of soone like Huang Xiaolong, who was already eyeing it!
Imdiately, Huang Xiaolong took out a stack of blank yellow papers from his canvas bag, inscribed several symbols on the spot with overwhelming Taoist power and threw them at the ghost puppet!
Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~~
The snow-like symbols, sticking onto the demon body of the ghost puppet, on its head, face, causing the symbols that were already affixed to it to turn to ash.
“Now, I’ll erase the essence blood imprint that Taoist Xia left within the ghost puppet,” said Huang Xiaolong with a slight smile as he reached out with his right palm and released a wisp of Samadhi True Fire directly into the body of the ghost puppet to begin the refinent process.
Sizzling~~ Sizzling~~
Whisps of green smoke erged from the top of the ghost puppet’s head, condensing into the image of a middle-aged Taoist with long whiskers and an air of immortality.
It was unmistakably the spiritual image of Taoist Xia!
“Boy, who are you?” Taoist Xia’s image looked down at Huang Xiaolong furiously. “Stop what you’re doing right now!”
This image was a trace of Taoist Xia’s essence blood fused within the body of the ghost puppet.
“Idiot,” Huang Xiaolong said dismissively, curling his lip and flinging a handful of Samadhi True Fire over the illusion of Taoist Xia, which crackled fiercely as it burned.
“Hmm~~ I see now, this fellow is currently… at this place!” From the trace of Taoist Xia’s essence blood, Huang Xiaolong quickly located his real body’s whereabouts.
Having burned Taoist Xia’s image into nothingness and with the ghost puppet now masterless, Huang Xiaolong used another talisman to shrink the puppet’s over ten-foot-tall body down to just a few inches in size. He reached out through the air and grabbed the puppet, now resembling a tiny doll-like toy, and began to fiddle ticulously with it in his hands.
“Young Master, you already know the whereabouts of that stinking Taoist?” Qingqing’s eyes lit up; this night’s venture into the village had given her and Xiaohong a deeper insight into Huang Xiaolong’s terrifying strength. Moreover, they understood that what they had seen tonight was rely the tip of the iceberg when it ca to Huang Xiaolong’s abilities!
After putting away the ghost puppet, Huang Xiaolong stretched languidly, “Let’s go~~”
He led the two little demons away from the valley at a swift pace.
“Young Master, that old yellow-skinned fiend must be in cahoots with that surnad Xia Taoist! Young Master, he bullied and Xiaohong last ti; you must help us take our revenge this ti!” Qingqing exclaid excitedly.
Xiaohong’s eyebrows arched, “Young Master, let’s peel off that old yellow-skinned fiend’s hide and make a fur coat out of it; it sounds quite nice.”
…
Hui Min Orphanage.
Downstairs in the courtyard.
The moonlight and the street lamps interwove to create a sowhat eerie atmosphere.
All the staff of the orphanage and the adopted orphans had been assembled, standing expressionlessly in the courtyard.
Fairy Huang and Taoist Xia looked over these people with chilling gazes as if they were inspecting livestock.
“Hmm~~” Fairy Huang smiled eerily and spoke loudly, “I don’t know if you’re hiding in the orphanage. I must say, you’re not easy to detect… Over the years, you’ve been running this orphanage. Could it be that you want to reform and beco virtuous? Kikiki~~ That’s laughable. Well, I’m looking for you because I have so matters to discuss. If you’re sensible, show yourself. We are similar beings, after all; I won’t make things too difficult for you. However, if you’re stubborn, then everyone standing here today will die!”
With that, Fairy Huang’s demonic pupils flashed with a bloodthirsty killing intent!
However, even after she finished speaking, there was still calmness in the orphanage courtyard.
“Kikiki~~ It seems you don’t know how to appreciate kindness,” Fairy Huang cackled maliciously.
At that mont, a staff mber of the orphanage, filled with rage, said, “Who on earth are you? Looking for trouble with the headmaster? That’s outrageous! The headmaster is known in Liu City for his compassion, his empathy for others, he’s been running the orphanage at a loss for years to take care of those poor holess children. You co here causing trouble, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
“Annoying!” Fairy Huang’s demonic eyes flashed, and with a casual grab…
Boom~~~~!
A furry large hand reached towards the staff mber, its claws sharp as hooks!
Gurgle!
The staff mber’s chest was ripped open with a bloody gaping hole, and his heart had been plucked out, now being held in that furry hand.
Gurgle!
With a squeeze, the heart shattered into pieces!
The staff mber’s eyes were still brimming with shock and anger, but they quickly beca dull and lifeless. His body thudded to the ground with a thump.
At this, the orphans and staff in the courtyard were all struck with terror, each of them trembling involuntarily at the sight.
The scene before them, so incredibly bloody, deeply shocked them all.
They had never imagined that in this world, there could be soone so bloody and brutal, so twisted!
“Taoist Xia, make your move. Force out your nesis,” Fairy Huang said with a giggle.
“Hmm. Great achievents are not hampered by trifles,” Taoist Xia’s face twisted into a sinister smile. His gaze flashed as he locked onto a four- or five-year-old girl, carved from jade, adorable and delicate.
“You, co here,” Taoist Xia beckoned the little girl with his finger.
“Don’t~ don’t! You’re a bad person, you’re all bad people~~!” The little girl scread in terror.
“Beasts! You beasts have lost all humanity! Won’t you even spare a child?” A woman hurried over, protected the girl with her body, shielding her.
“Get out of the way!” There was a mad glint in Taoist Xia’s eyes. “To have my revenge, I’ve already waited for more than thirty years! I can’t wait any longer! I must have my revenge; those who stand in my way will die!!!!”
No sooner had his words fallen than Taoist Xia swung his right hand, casting out a ghostly shadow that possessed the woman shielding the girl.
“Ah~~!” The woman let out a scream, red strangulation marks visible to the naked eye appearing above her neck. Terrified, she clawed at them, collapsing to the ground, legs kicking, but soon she lay still, her face turning purplish-black, the marks on her neck grimly alarming.
Suddenly, the square was filled with heartrending cries. In these cries was an indescribable despair and fear.
“Co here!” Taoist Xia reached out and grabbed at the air, and seemingly supported by sothing, the little girl was thrown towards him.
Taoist Xia caught the girl with both hands, lifting her high, and bellowed, “If you don’t co out now, I’ll throw her to the ground and smash her to death! Smash her while she’s still alive!”
Behind Taoist Xia was a dormitory building. Suddenly, on the wall of the building facing him, a shadowy figure appeared.
The shadow, in the shape of a human, gradually beca clear…
And soon, the figure seed about to squeeze out from the wall while the hard cent turned as soft as mud.
At last!
The figure flew out from the wall, and a flash of cold light streaked through the air!
The cold light slashed through the air and aid directly at Taoist Xia’s back!
At the sa ti, as if sensing sothing, Fairy Huang jeered, “Finally showing yourself, huh? Couldn’t hold back any longer, could you?”
anwhile, just as Taoist Xia was about to fiercely smash the girl he held into the ground, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation on his back, as if pricked by needles!
In the face of danger, Taoist Xia didn’t lose his composure. He quickly threw the girl away and, as if by magic, he had a Peach Wood Sword in his right hand, with a talisman burning at the tip, and golden talismans flickering along the blade.
Taoist Xia didn’t bother to turn around, and just slashed backward with the sword.
Clang~~~!!!!
An explosion rang out!
Imdiately after, a gale swept through and caught the thrown girl, safely and firmly, setting her gently on the ground.
“Hahaha! So you’ve finally shown yourself!” Taoist Xia laughed wildly, spinning around on his heels.
There, under the moonlight, stood a woman of an age similar to Fairy Huang. Her skin was fairer than snow, her eyes as clear as pools of water. With every glance, she exuded an aura of elegant nobility, captivating and yet humbling, making others feel unworthy of her presence. Yet there was also a seductive quality in her spirited aloofness that ensnared the soul.
In her left hand, she held a sword-like weapon, now enveloped in raging flas. Her hand clutched the hot blaze, seemingly oblivious to the fire, and she sneered, “You are utterly despicable.”
“Gigglegigglegiggle~~ Dear Sister Cha, it’s been years since we’ve seen you. Why have you been hiding and taking care of these human children, hmm?” Fairy Huang wore a mocking smile.
“Do you rember ?” Taoist Xia grasped the Peach Wood Sword, his hatred boiling over, “I rember you! You appear the sa as you were that day! I rember you! You vile creature filled with evil deeds!”
“I don’t know you,” the woman said indifferently, shaking her head lightly, with a faint demonic light flickering in her eyes.
“Gigglegigglegiggle~~~ Dear Sister Cha, you used to poison humans far and wide. Countless humans have died at your hands, of course, you wouldn’t rember the Taoist Xia whose family you exterminated… gigglegigglegiggle~~~” Fairy Huang laughed coquettishly. “Dear Sister Cha, you really have changed. If you had just stayed hidden, we would never have found you. But for the sake of a bunch of humans, you actually showed yourself. Now, you can’t hide. I ca to Liu City to find you, to plot great deeds together!”
“These humans are innocent,” the woman stated coldly.
“Gigglegigglegiggle~~~ Innocent? You’re killing with laughter. Dear Sister Cha, back when you used to kill humans, you didn’t even blink an eye, not caring whether they were innocent or not. What happened to change you into what you are now?” Fairy Huang spoke as if she heard the world’s funniest joke.
At that mont, the children of the orphanage began to cry loudly, “Director, director~~ Director, they’re bad people. Please run away.”
“Fairy Huang, let’s strike together and slaughter this demon!” Taoist Xia conjured a handful of shimring talismans, his hatred imnse.
“Dear Sister Cha, can you withstand the Samadhi Divine Wind from ?” Fairy Huang asked with a mocking smile.
“We’ll just have to try and see,” the woman replied without emotion. Suddenly, her back sprouted densely packed longswords. These swords, so ablaze with fierce fire, others crystallized with ice, emitting astonishing cold, and yet others swirling with hurricanes…
Dozens, if not hundreds of longswords, had grown from the woman’s back!
