Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 601: Battle with Zhao Feiyan

AfterSenior Shuscreamed, hegrabbedZhao Feiyan.

Zhao Feiyan was surprised momentarily.However, sheabruptly flew from the sofa and avoided the attack.An emerald green layered skirt flew out. It danced and entangledwithSenior Shu!

Seeing this, I couldn’t help but recall Zhou Ehuang, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. They had experienced the same situation, as their younger sisters were in theirhusbands’harems. They were both left to face loneliness. After they died, they chose similar weapons.

Zhuo Ehuang used her sleeves, while Zhao Feiyan used her green skirt.This skirt should haveaninteresting background. With this thought, I wanted tocheckZhao Feiyan’swebpageagain.

Unexpectedly,Senior Shuscreamed, “You stinky boy, why are you standing dumbly over there?!”

I lifted my head and recognized thatSenior Shuhad been almost subdued.Zhao Feiyan’s skirt was forcing him to back off. He had to release his life-bound rat.

When Zhao Feiyan saw the life-bound rat, her movements stiffened. She screamed and retreated to the toilet room. I was certain that she had spotted me, and that she thought that I would be an easier target to deal with. I immediately read the spell and threw the Yin and Yang Umbrella across the void.

Daoism paid attention to the concept of inaction. Every spell or mantra used to expel evil spirits had an order. Whenever we read a spell, we movedfrom the shallow meaning to the stronger meaning. However, this time, I didn’tuse itas Iusuallydid. Iused theYin and Yang Umbrellaatitsmaximum poweronthe first attempt! Instantly, the dazzling light from the Yin and Yang Umbrella burst out as though it could radiate thousands of meters away. It litup the entire room! Moreover, it moved as fast as lightning, hoveringabove Zhao Feiyan.

While under the umbrella, she didn’t hide or look panicked. She just turned to look at me with surprise in her eyes. Then, she darkly smiled at meand spun around. The moving skirt formeda green light circle.

I thought I had almost succeeded but now,I had to take in a deep breath.

Thespirits captured underneath the Yin and Yang Umbrella would scream in pain. Even if they were intimidating, they would show their panic. Zhao Feiyan didn’trevealanything when I read the spell, and her spinning speed was much faster than the Yin and Yang Umbrella.

She was indeed the most famous dancer ofhertime!

Senior Shustood like a tiger watchinghisprey next to Zhao Feiyan. Hisexpressionwas serious.

This old man had so many treasures, but he hadn’t used any this time. I guessed he was afraid that I would rob him one more time, which resultedin thisembarrassing situation. We could protect ourselves, but we couldn’t do anything to thespirit. Now, we had to entrust our hope in the Yin and Yang Umbrella.

A few minutes later, my reading speed couldn’t keep up with her anymore. The Yin and Yang Umbrella slowed down, but it didn’t look likeZhao Feiyan was tired.

Gradually, I felt an invisible pressure on my chest. Every time I read a verse of the spell, my heart throbbed. In the end, I couldn’t endure anymoreand spata mouthful of blood.

When engaging in a magic fight, itwasimportant to be persistent. When I vomited blood, the Yin and Yang Umbrella dropped to the ground. Its halo vanished.

I gasped for my breath and clutched my chest. I movedtowardSenior Shu.We cautiously watched Zhao Feiyan.

“Grandson, it seems your grandfatherwon’t be going back with youtoday.”Senior Shupatted my shoulderto show that he cared, like a senior comforting a junior. Then, he sat down cross-leggedand read amantra I didn’t understand. As soon as he started to chant, a gray light ring appeared around Zhao Feiyan.

Zhao Feiyan was about to attack us again when suddenly, sheturned pale.She crouchedand retched. I rubbed my eyes and recognized that the gray light ring was made of numerous rats. Theywere rolling their eyes and baring the teeth!

“I’ll fightyou till the end…”

Zhao Feiyan hissed then flipped and manipulated her layered skirt. She attackedagain. This time, her moves were much faster. The strong wind blew my hair backward.

At first, I was worried. But soon, I recognized that Zhao Feiyanwouldn’t be able toresist for a long time. She was moving fast, but her moves were disorderly. She couldn’t createagreen shield to protect herself anymore.

“Arghhh!”After letting out a shrill cry, Zhao Feiyan fell hard on the ground. Her eyes were full of fear and worry.

Senior Shuretrieved his gray light ring. With adeepand confident voice, he turned to me. “Go get her!”

I didn’t know whySenior Shuwanted to release Zhao Feiyanatthis critical moment, but I didn’t ask.I drewthe Sirius Whip from my waistandslowlywalked towardher.

Without her intimidating speed, Zhao Feiyan was helpless. As I was approaching her, she backed off to the toilet room. Eventually, she stood in front of Feng Yuanzheng.

“Whydoyou want to harm otherpeople?” I didn’t chase her any further. Standing in front of the toilet, Isaidcoldly,“You are the older sister, and you wanted to compete against your little sister. Don’t you feel shame?”

Zhao Feiyan’sobsessionwas the competition for the Emperor’s favor. She had put up with it when she was alive because of the blood bond with her sister. However, after she died, she had no emotion, but herobsessionhad become deeper and deeper. In the end, she had turned into this evil being.

Zhao Feiyan was bewildered. Then, she sneered.“Oh well, excuse me, but she stole my husband and my happiness!She stole the favor I once had. She’s my enemy! I hate her!Hede is my blood sister. My blood sisterdidthat to me.Whatabout otherpeople? I know. I know you all want to harm me. I will kill you all!”

Zhao Feiyan’s voice became crazy.At thismoment, I understood her. The imperial harem was as deep as the ocean. To survive, the women in there would passively or actively change themselves. Every single one of them had to do that, let alonea concubine likeZhao Feiyan.This kind of change was unbearable to anyone!

I was a little absent-minded for the moment. Suddenly, I heard someone scream. I turned and saw Feng Yuanzheng taking action. He did as I hadinstructed. He was using the Peach Soul Flower to hit Zhao Feiyanatthe nape of her neck.

Zhang Yan trembled for a while. Then, Zhao Feiyan’sspiritleft her body. She was so madthatshe turned and tried to strangleFeng Yuanzheng. Shedirectlyliftedhim off the ground.

“Good, do you want to harm me too? Then don’t blame me for showing no mercy!” Zhao Feiyan said witha smirk. Her eyes hadturnedblood red.

Sinceour lives were at stake, how could I sympathize with Zhao Feiyan anymore? I shouted, then wielded the Sirius Whipand lashed it atZhao Feiyan. Zhao Feiyan dropped Feng Yuanzheng and flewtowardthe window.

Right when I was about to chase after her, the window glowed with golden light. Zhao Feiyan bounced backward.Amidstthe golden light, I saw many talismans adheredto thewindow.It seemed Senior Shuhad prepared everything.

Thismovecould stop thespirit, but it would also enrage her and make her fight until the bitter end. I immediately jingled theIllusoryMind Bell.

TheIllusoryMind Bell always worked on those with distractingthoughts,whether they werehumans orspirits.At thismoment, Zhao Feiyan’s soulwasseverelydamaged. She couldn’t resist theIllusoryMind Bell. She felland struggledon the ground.

“Why did you have to do that!” I cursed fromunder my breath.

When I faced women, myheart alwayssoftened.It didn’t matter ifshe was human or a ghost. A moment ago, I hated that I couldn’t just strike her soul and make her vanish. But nowthatZhao Feiyan was whimpering in pain, I couldn’t take any bold actions towards her. I slowed down the movement of theIllusoryMind Bell.

“Ah!”Zhao Feiyan took the chance. She screamed and charged toward the windowwithout minding anythingelse. She directly broke the golden light created by the talismans. Then, her shadow disappeared into thin air.

I looked at the shards of glass on the groundand hatedmyselffor being such a fool. Feng Yuanzheng got up from the ground. He lookedfrightened. “What should we do now?”

“Take your wife to the hospital. What else can wedo?” I ventedoutthe anger in my mind.

There was a loud thud from the living room. I rushed back there and sawSenior Shuwith a chalk-white face. He had fallen tothe ground. Blood wasgushing from his mouth.

“Senior Shu, are you okay?” I was scared. I had never seenhim likethis before.

Senior Shu’s voice trembled. “Don’t blame yourself. It’s good that she ran away.If she had noticed that I couldn’t resist anymore, we would all have died tonight.Hurry, leave this place…”

Then,Senior Shu’s eyes rolled to the back of his head. He had fainted. I now understood that it wasn’t thatSenior Shuhad given Zhao Feiyan a chance to survive. He was hurt!

Feng Yuanzheng was panic-strickenand calledthe ambulance. The emergency unit came and took bothSenior Shuand Zhang Yan to the ambulance.

Feng Yuanzheng wanted to follow them, but I held him back. I toldhim he could go later.

I patiently explained, “Zhao Feiyan was ambushed today. I’m sure the iron swallow is still in your house. We need to find it. Otherwise, Zhao Feiyan will come here one more time for it.”

Feng Yuanzheng noddedand tookme to search around his house. In the end, we found the iron swallow tucked underneath Zhang Yan’s bed.

“Zhao Feiyan’s soulwasexpelled from your wife’s body, and now we have the iron swallow. I don’t think it will be too difficult to subdue her!” I smiled at Feng Yuanzheng.

However, he didn’t react to my encouragingwords. He still looked anxious.

“Don’t think too much, all right?”

He couldn’t ease his mind yet.Butsincewe could solve Zhao Feiyan within the next three days, I didn’t want to linger here. I askedhim to go to the hospital.
