Chapter 222: Chapter 75 Devouring (3)

Lin Yuan’s brow, Spirit Space.

Lin Yuan’s face remained calm as he looked at the Ghost Nightmare posing before him and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly are you? How can you directly enter my Spirit Space?"

"Heh heh."

The eerie laughter of the Ghost Taoist echoed.

"Such a remote and ignorant place."

After speaking, a long tongue extended from his mouth, licking his lips before the Ghost Taoist’s face twisted into a grimace: "This is the real me, the Ghost Nightmare Body."

"The physical body you killed earlier was merely the shell of a soul I devoured last time."

The Ghost Taoist lightly swung its sharp sickle claw and chuckled softly: "I’ve said so much, so are you ready to be devoured by me? Heh heh."

"Devour."

At this moment, Lin Yuan finally understood, and a slight tremor arose in his heart.

"If my soul is devoured by you, will my body also be taken over?"

"Correct. A genius body like yours, I can use for a very long time." The Ghost Taoist tilted its head, and the phantom wings behind it gently fluttered, causing its entire body to float.

However, within the space, the Ghost Nightmare formed by the Ghost Taoist still contained a pair of blood-red eyes quietly observing everything from the depths of its core.

Both the Ghost Taoist and Lin Yuan were completely unaware of this.

At this moment, watching the slowly approaching Ghost Nightmare, Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

Then he saw the acupoints within his body quietly dispersing.

Countless Great Sun Essences flowed freely, instantly dyeing his entire soul in shades of orange-red.

"Before I die, I have one last question." Lin Yuan’s face was calm as he spoke again: "Why did you come to Yanghua to find me? Who is looking for you behind the scenes?"

"What’s the reason?" the Ghost Taoist sneered: "Well, let you die knowingly."

"I am merely following the orders of the Hundred Ghosts Old Demon. Would you like to know about the Hundred Ghosts Old Demon?" The Ghost Taoist teased and spread its sickle claw: "Sorry, I don’t know who it is either."

Lin Yuan looked confused: "You don’t know either? Then why do you work for them? What benefit does it bring you?"

The Ghost Taoist laughed, opening its large mouth to reveal sharp teeth: "Cultivation, technique. The other party can give me a ladder, a ladder to the upper levels."

Lin Yuan remained silent.

Unable to extract any information from the opponent’s mouth. Without a doubt, this involved a mysterious woman of such a high level that even just a front-runner made him feel hopeless.

As Lin Yuan remained silent, the wings of the Ghost Taoist vibrated rapidly, quickly approaching: "Give up. How can your meager Great Sun Essences withstand my attack?"

Lin Yuan’s eyes swept over the rapidly hacking sickle claw, coldly snorted: "Surrender willingly, do I even deserve the surname Lin?"

"If you’re going to kill, just do it, why say anything else?"

Lin Yuan stepped forward, actually taking the initiative to attack, and punched forward suddenly.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

The Ghost Taoist made a tsking sound, flying through the air.

But its face was filled with a sinister smile: "In a restaurant, a lively fish is the most popular."

"Because, it’s fresh!"

Saying this, the Ghost Taoist swung the three-foot-long sickle blade, instantly cleaving towards Lin Yuan’s soul.

Slash!

A harsh blade light slashed through, seemingly about to cut the entire Spirit Space in half.

But Lin Yuan did not dodge or evade, instead smashing towards the blade body.

Clang.

Lin Yuan’s right fist collided violently with the sickle blade.

"So hard, so painful!" Lin Yuan only felt his right fist was extremely fragile.

Like flesh and blood colliding with steel. Not even leaving a trace on the opponent’s sickle claw.

Only a trace of Great Sun Essence spurted out, dispelling the cold air emitted by the opponent.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

The sickle blade once again sliced three streaks of silvery blade light. Instantly attacking Lin Yuan’s chest and abdomen.

"No good. I’m in trouble!" Lin Yuan felt extremely helpless.

At this moment, he was like an unarmed commoner facing a long-trained, armed thug.

The opponent’s sickle blade cleaved down, and he could only retreat. The Ghost Nightmare’s moves were extremely bizarre, making it difficult to cope.

Slash, slash, slash.

Lin Yuan’s soul was instantly slashed with three wounds about a foot long.

The wandering Great Sun Essences surprisingly flowed out from the wounds, causing extreme pain.

Yet at this moment, he stared fixedly at the Ghost Nightmare flying in mid-air, his mind completely quieting down.

"Is there really no way? How should this ghostly thing be dealt with?"

"Am I really going to be possessed by it?" Lin Yuan constantly pondered, trying to find a countermeasure.

Feeling the pain from his wounds, he sought high and low for a way out, otherwise life and death would cease today, in Yanghua he would become a pile of dead bones.

No, not dead bones. His body would still be possessed by the Ghost Taoist.

Zhu Lingshan, the old village chief, Xiao Yun, each face appeared before Lin Yuan.

"I really can’t think of a way."

Lin Yuan’s eyes were bewildered.

At this moment, he exhausted all means and was powerless.

"Heh heh." The Ghost Taoist drew an arc in mid-air, teasing: "The taste of pain, the desire to survive, the bewildered methods. The last person was no different from you. Hahaha."

After speaking, the Ghost Taoist instantly flew down, directly hacking towards Lin Yuan’s head.

He had played enough. From Lin Yuan’s expression, he tormented enough. There was no need to waste too much time anymore.

This one cut would split Lin Yuan in half. Then devour his entire soul.

Thinking of this, in mid-air, its hideous mouthparts secreted numerous drops of saliva, dripping down.

But Lin Yuan’s eyes were fixed on the rapidly slashing, lightning-fast blade.

"Am I about to die?"

"Can I only struggle in vain?"

"The other party will cleave me, devour me? Occupy my body?"

A flicker of divine light gradually appeared in Lin Yuan’s bewildered eyes.

"No, I still have it."

Lin Yuan let out a wild laugh.

"Nine Chapters!"

In mid-air, the ghostly Taoist, upon hearing the words, was momentarily stunned.

He saw boundless confidence in Lin Yuan.

What gave him such courage?

This strike, how could he possibly counter it?

Nine Chapters? What is Nine Chapters?

"Playing tricks, die for me!"

The ghostly Taoist hesitated not even a bit, his scythe clawed and cold light shot everywhere. At the same time, his cicada wings vibrated rapidly, as fast as lightning.

But the next moment.

The ghostly Taoist was taken aback with shock.

At this moment, the space transformed instantly.

"Where is this?"

The Lin Yuan in front of him suddenly disappeared from where he stood, appearing next to a plant.

What is this? A plant?

Specifically, it’s a gourd vine.

But why is there such a strange plant in this person’s mind space?

No, this is a supernatural artifact.

And it’s an artifact related to the soul!

The ghostly Taoist’s spirit stirred, and his eyes showed a hint of greed.

Gently flapping his wings, he looked at the distant Lin Yuan and said, "Hahaha. Truly heaven helps me. I didn’t expect this person to have fortuitous encounters, no wonder he’s such a genius."

The ghostly Taoist sneered: "Kill this person first, then slowly explore by taking over his body."

Whoosh.

Cicada wings vibrated, instantly transforming into a black lightning, madly pouncing towards Lin Yuan.

But just as the ghostly Taoist flew forward.

Lin Yuan stood calmly by the Nine Chapters, watching it all with a tranquil expression.

The aura of the Nine Chapters filled him with incomparable peace.

Because he felt a message from the Nine Chapters.

And that was.

Hungry, it wants to eat!

Lin Yuan watched as the ghostly Taoist flew closer, he slightly nodded.

At the instant Lin Yuan nodded, the roots of the Nine Chapters poured down like the waters of the Milky Way, descending out of nowhere in the void.

The ghostly Taoist’s expression was instantly surrounded by countless roots, trapped in a blinding white cage.

"This aura, so dangerous. What is this ghostly thing?" The ghostly Taoist was astonished, fear rising in his heart.

But before he could react.

The void changed once more, countless roots like billions of spikes pierced into his body instantly.

As the roots pierced, the Ghost Nightmare Body stiffened immediately. All of the ghostly Taoist’s thoughts and expressions came to a halt.

His greed, his desires, all ceased operation at this moment.

Countless roots absorbed the ghostly Taoist’s soul power as if taking nutrients from the earth.

In a matter of moments.

The ghostly Taoist’s Ghost Nightmare form shattered and vanished inch by inch.

At this moment, the blood-red eyes hidden deep within his gut could no longer remain concealed, suddenly appearing.

From afar, Lin Yuan watched through the root cage, observing everything clearly.

"What is that?" Lin Yuan felt a chill down his spine.

A pair of blood-red eyes emitted endless cold, blood-red light, as if trying to engulf everything in the blood light.

The blood-red eyes burst forth, countless blood tides surged madly. They sought to melt all of the Nine Chapters’ white roots.

Seeing all this, Lin Yuan’s soul felt a deep chill.

"Nine Chapters, can you do it?"

Lin Yuan couldn’t stop the trembling inside, the blood-red eyes’ might was thousands of times stronger than the ghostly Taoist’s Ghost Nightmare.

Even with the protection of the Nine Chapters, he felt incredibly small.

The next moment, Lin Yuan was once again shocked.

Because what the Nine Chapters gave him was excitement and craving.

"Could it be that what the Nine Chapters truly desires is the blood-red eyes?"

Thinking this, Lin Yuan was completely at ease, quietly watching it all unfold.

Inside the white cage.

Endless blood tides tried to melt the entire cage.

But the Nine Chapters sprouted countless thicker roots, fiercely piercing into the blood-red eyes.

The endless blood tides were like being absorbed by countless pumps, continuously drawn and fed into the Nine Chapters.

Lin Yuan saw beside the Nine Chapters gourd vine, a gourd frame appeared in the void. The Nine Chapters visibly grew, climbing around the frame.

Finally, the blood-red eyes’ blood tide came to a halt, dissipating continuously.

Ultimately, the Nine Chapters’ roots pierced into the body of the blood-red eyes, absorbing nutrients once again madly.

Tss.

The ghostly Taoist, the blood-red eyes, everything, all vanished into smoke.

Lin Yuan finally let out a deep breath.

The wound of his soul was also completely healed in the aura released by the Nine Chapters.

"Nine Chapters, luckily I have you."

Lin Yuan looked at the taller and larger gourd vine, feeling sincerely fortunate from the bottom of his heart.

"Eh?"

Lin Yuan raised his head to look, and saw something different on the tall gourd vine.

"Is this a flower bud growing? About to bloom?"

Lin Yuan felt amazed in his heart.
