Chapter 227: Chapter 122 Unrepayable Debt Until Death_2

The ghost car ranked third grade, substantially higher than the Traction Worm.

This type of talismanic creature was incredibly sturdy, and the precious blood used for talisman painting was meticulously selected, using Black Dog Blood, an item of utmost yang, to write Yin Talismans, while also gathering centipedes, sulfur, cinnabar, and other substances for concocting medicine. After preparation, a volcano had to be found, using its earth fire to refine and remove impurities.

From the original materials, only one-tenth of the precious blood could be left after refining.

Once refined, it could finally be used to paint a third-grade talisman.

But such a precious ghost car had its head cleaved off by Chen Shi with a single sword strike, immediately turning into a corrupt blood plasma that spilled down, foul-smelling beyond belief.

The Green-robed Scholar’s thoughts stirred, and suddenly the air filled with huge ghost heads diving down, dragging rolling smoke, heading straight for Chen Shi.

Chen Shi rapidly moved across rooftops, avoiding the flames spewed by the ghost car.

Though the ghost car seemed not to be very powerful, it was incredibly formidable in reality. The flames it spewed were not Mortal Fire but Netherworld Ghost Fire.

The strength of those eight Daoists far surpassed ordinary godmothers, and even specters often stood no chance against them. Their Righteous Qi bubbles could trap ordinary specters, making them unable to escape. However, when touched by the Netherworld Ghost Fire from the ghost car, even these bubbles broke, showing its formidable power.

A great ghost head rotated and sped from behind, each face spraying a stream of Netherworld Ghost Fire towards Chen Shi, the flames stretching dozens of feet.

It had just rotated its third circle when it exploded with a bang, pierced through by an invisible Sword Qi.

It seemed like Chen Shi was frantically fleeing, but in the air, the chasing ghost heads kept exploding, rotten blood raining down from the sky, splattering everywhere.

Chen Shi finally sprinted out of Zaojiao Town, stimulated his True Qi, invoked the Divine Embryo, and shouted, "Little Jujube!"

His True Qi flowed through the temple, where the Righteous Qi endured, pouring into the chubby child statue on the shrine.

The next moment, a date tree with luxuriant, serpentine branches like dragons emerged behind him, stretching towards the sky!

Chen Shi leapt up onto the tree, swiftly moving up the thick branches.

The tree was laden with dates as big as human heads, painted in vivid, operatic facial patterns.

Whooshing, the branches and large dates swayed.

People in Zaojiao Town marveled at the sudden emergence of a towering tree outside the town, only to see those large dates suddenly opening their eyes and mouths - each one a human head, men, women, young, and old included.

Astounded, people watched as the large dates danced and met the ghost heads charging from the sky, latching onto them and biting, while the ghost heads spewed smoke and fire, scorching these human-headed dates.

Some even opened their gaping mouths and bit off the dates!

In the sky outside town, a fierce battle unfolded.

But more ghost heads targeted Chen Shi, who was still climbing skyward up the date tree, attempting to devour him.

Dingding, cradling a lute, hurried from the streets of Zaojiao Town towards the outside.

Arriving under the tree, she saw Chen Shi leaping and soaring, having already ascended to the upper reaches of the towering tree!

Looking up, she saw Chen Shi moving swiftly along the branches, climbing higher and higher, seemingly reaching for the clouds.

The ghost heads that approached were often blocked by the dancing, large dates, with only trails of black smoke and flames spraying back and forth.

Suddenly, a ghost head wedged between the branches, its gaping mouth swallowing Chen Shi whole.

Dingding cried out, but then saw the ghost head’s skull flipped open, and Chen Shi leaped out from within it, darting agilely between branches to avoid the attacking ghost heads, rapidly closing in on the Green-robed Scholar in the sky!

"The young master is fiercely formidable!"

Dingding breathed a sigh of relief, when suddenly a sorrowful voice came from the sky.

"You cannot leave! You still owe me twenty silver!"

Dingding couldn’t help but smile, thinking to herself, "The young master is still fixated on those twenty silver."

Chen Shi had reached the crown of the date tree, beneath his feet, Zaojiao Town appeared only as a collection of dark green tile roofs, streets dwindled thin, pedestrians like ants.

From such a height, falling would certainly be fatal!

Chen Shi apparently disregarded it, jumped up, and lunged towards the Green-robed Scholar in the sky.

The lower half of the Green-robed Scholar’s body was a Traction Worm, and though he lacked wings, he moved effortlessly in midair, his thirty-plus arms stepping through the air, suddenly exerting force to run, dodging Chen Shi’s lunge, his upper body like a snake arching up, multiple arms swinging, sharp claws cutting through the air, slashing towards Chen Shi.

His arm was about seven to eight feet long, its bony claws exposed and hard beyond comparison, striking down like a giant wielding a scythe, reaping mortal lives!

Moreover, one arm with five claws was tantamount to swinging five giant scythes.

Though the Traction Worm was a Sixth Grade Creation Talisman, it was no trivial matter in close combat, easily shredding ordinary cultivators to pieces in a short time.

Especially in the air, the Green-robed Scholar walked as if on flat ground, while Chen Shi could not possibly fly like him.

Neither the Godspeed Talisman nor the Armored Horse Talisman could keep him suspended in the air.

But in the next moment, starlight exploded under Chen Shi’s feet, and the star talisman of Tianxuan star instantly became extremely dazzling. A halo of light flowed around his body, and he paused in midair, swinging his fists like the wind to meet the Green-robed Scholar’s attack!

"Crack!"

One of the Green-robed Scholar’s arms was pierced through by Chen Shi’s punch, the huge limb broke off, wailing as it fell from the sky.

His wound spilled green blood as he screamed, but by then, Chen Shi had already landed on his back, running wildly upwards along his spine!

Dozens of ghost chariots whirled upwards, striking at Chen Shi on the back, but it was already too late. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Bang!"

The Blood Gourd exploded, and the painstakingly cultivated precious blood of the Green-robed Scholar scattered, forming a curtain of blood.

Chen Shi burst out from the curtain of blood, landing a punch on the back of the Green-robed Scholar’s head, then turned his fist into a palm, striking heavily on both ears of the Green-robed Scholar. Then his body suddenly sank, his hands like blades, stabbing into the kidneys below the waist of the Green-robed Scholar!

Behind him, the ghost chariot talismans that rapidly pounced towards him exploded one after another, turning into a stinky rain of blood from the sky, but looking up from below, they looked like red fireworks, incredibly brilliant.

"Don’t die just yet!"

In the air, Chen Shi shook the Green-robed Scholar’s head vigorously, shouting loudly, "You haven’t paid the money for Sanhe Village yet! Wake up, wake up!"

The Green-robed Scholar’s head drooped, tilted to one side, and the body of the Traction Worm also began to explode and decompose, turning into green water sprinkling downward.

The two figures fell, and Chen Shi leaped onto a jujube tree.

But then the sky-covering jujube tree began to shrink, its branches reaching into the sky becoming thinner and shorter.

The dates, which were once as big as human heads, also shrank, turning into ordinary red dates hanging on the tree.

Inside the small temple behind Chen Shi, the chubby baby Xiaozhao watched this scene from the temple, tears unwittingly rolling down.

It hadn’t protected the villagers of Sanhe Village well; it wasn’t a good godmother.

But today, it had finally avenged these wrongful deaths through Chen Shi’s hands.

Chen Shi stepped off the jujube tree and floated lightly down, looking at the fallen body of the Green-robed Scholar, and he silently sighed.

"He still owes me twenty taels..."

Dingding saw a money pouch roll out of the Green-robed Scholar’s body, hurriedly picked it up with a tree branch, opened it and glanced inside, then excitedly exclaimed, "Young master, there are thousands of silver notes in here!"

Chen Shi’s heart stirred, saying, "Most likely it’s the bounty for killing me! This unjust wealth..."

He hesitated.

Grandpa had said not to take money from the dead.

Chen Shi grit his teeth, "...give it to the townspeople then. The fight just now damaged many houses. Repairing these houses will also need a lot of money."

Dingding looked at him, full of admiration, "I never thought the young master was so kind-hearted."

In his heart, Chen Shi silently said, "Green-robed Scholar, I still don’t know his name."

Dingding carried the money pouch into town to take care of the house repairs, while Chen Shi waited outside the town, his body covered in blood, not fitting to enter the town.

Then, a middle-aged man approached from afar, smiling from a distance, "Chen Shi? Huangpo Village’s Chen Shi?"

Chen Shi turned to face this middle-aged man, asking in confusion, "I am Chen Shi. May I ask who you are?"

"Xinxiang governor, Li Xiaozheng," the middle-aged man smiled.
