Chapter 582: Zhou Manqing’s Corpse (2)
Wu Fuzhang told Zhou Manning to stand back, and he took out the compa.s.s!
Sure enough!
The compa.s.s spun wildly when it was pointed at the corpse. Sure enough, the malicious ghost was hiding here.
Wu Fuzhang took out the peach wood sword, which had strings of copper coins and talismans on it. Wu Fuzhang cut the back of his hand with the sword and called out, “Vile creature, why haven’t you appeared yet? If you obediently surrender and submit to me, I’ll let you off this time!”
Zhou Manning’s face changed drastically when she heard the words “let you off.” She rushed over and was about to say something to Wu Fuzhang, but his gaze made her stop in her tracks. He said coldly, “Don’t worry, Miss Zhou. I’m a proper Celestial Master. You’ve paid me; if this malicious ghost submits to me, I naturally won’t let her hurt you!”
After saying this, Wu Fuzhang ignored Zhou Manning. However, there was no movement on the wall at all. Zhou Manqing would rather not let the malicious ghost, Zhou Manqing, live; only when the latter’s soul was scattered would she be at ease. She hurriedly fanned the flames and said, “Perfected Wu, this malicious ghost has never been easy to deal with. There’s no sound from her now; she might be looking down on you. Perfected Wu, you should eliminate this malicious ghost!”
Wu Fuzhang knew what Zhou Manning was trying to do, but after listening to her, he saw that there was no movement on the human wall at all, and his face was cold.
He approached the human wall and didn’t say anything else. He snorted coldly, picked up the peach wood sword with his blood on it, and hacked at the bony hand.
Sure enough!
The malicious ghost that had been hiding just now let out a howl, and a twisted figure squeezed out of the wall. The resentment in its body surged to block the peach wood sword, but Wu Fuzhang’s blood still scalded it. It let out a blood-curdling screech, and a ghost claw appeared out of thin air and suddenly swiped at Wu Fuzhang’s face.
The ghost claw was too fast. Even though Wu Fuzhang was quick to react, a large chunk of his black cloak was still torn off by the ghost claw, leaving red claw marks on his face. The rotten flesh on the left side of his face even bled a lot.
Wu Fuzhang rubbed where it hurt on his face. He looked down and saw that his fingers were indeed covered in blood.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile on Wu Fuzhang’s face as he stared fixedly at the evil creature not far away. Sensing Zhou Manning’s gaze, Wu Fuzhang tilted his head and looked over.
The two looked at each other. From the moment Zhou Manning had invited Perfected Wu over, he had always worn a cloak and had never shown his face. At that moment, Zhou Manning saw the ugly face of the middle-aged man in front of her. Half of his face was normal and the other half was rotten flesh. There were also a lot of bugs that looked like maggots burrowing around inside the rotten flesh.
Under the threat in the other party’s gaze, Zhou Manning was so scared that she almost screamed. Although she covered her mouth, that face was too scary. Zhou Manning couldn’t help but run to the side and retch.
Wu Fuzhang stared coldly at Zhou Manning as she retched. Zhou Manning seemed to sense his gaze, and her face turned deathly pale. At the thought that she still had to rely on Perfected Wu to subdue the malicious ghost, which was even uglier, Zhou Manning quickly calmed down and immediately explained, “Perfected Wu, I… I’m not throwing up because of you. No, I’m not afraid of you. I just find that malicious ghost too disgusting! Perfected Wu, you should hurry and destroy that malicious ghost. That malicious ghost actually dared to hurt you…”
Before Zhou Manning could finish speaking, the malicious ghost which she had just despised for being ugly suddenly appeared and pounced fiercely on Zhou Manning. Zhou Manning was so scared that her face turned pale and she shouted, “Perfected Wu, help!”
