Chapter 380: Ghostly Presence
ce again flared in his palm. Though it was incredibly faint, a talisman burned within the flames.The talisman, engulfed by the flames, turned into ashes in an instant. Yet, within these ashes, a power..."The real Ghost Clan..."
Gingercloud's words seemed to have triggered some memories in Bai Ze, causing him to fall silent and instead delve into reminiscing about the past.
Jiang Yun didn't urge him either. Instead, he squatted down and carefully examined the body of this disciple of the Sen Luo Ghost Prison.
As a physician skilled in alchemy and healing, one must understand the structures of various animal bodies. Therefore, during his time in Mangshan, Jiang Yun had come into contact with many animal carcasses.
As for the human body, although he had never encountered one, his grandfather had given him a detailed explanation of its structure.
Now that he thinks about it, Ginger Cloud believes that the reason his grandfather didn't let him study inside the Mangshan Mountains was probably because he was the only human there. Otherwise, his grandfather would have probably made him study hard.
Therefore, instead of waiting for Bai Ze to explain what the Ghost Clan is, it's better to take a look myself first. Perhaps I can figure out the difference between the Ghost Clan and the Human Clan.
Jiang Yun first took off the opponent's black ghost mask, revealing a rather handsome but pale and abnormally young man's face.
After using his divine sense to scan the body of this disciple who claimed to be from the Ghost Clan repeatedly, Jiang Yun did not find anything unusual inside him.
"My body is fine, and I didn't see any of the ghostly Qi that Bai Ze mentioned."
Ginger pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered a place he had overlooked.
"Fire of Destiny!"
Jiang Yun's divine sense surged straight toward the opponent's lifeline.
As expected, upon the flickering embers of the opponent's life force, Jiang Yun finally saw several strands of black gas, no thicker than a hair.
These black gases and the opponent's life fire have firmly intertwined, indistinguishable from one another.
Even when Jiang Yun's divine consciousness swept over, these black qi seemed to be sensing something and trembled slightly.
Obviously, these black gases should be the ghost qi mentioned by Bai Ze, and the reaction of ghost qi also surprised Jiang Yun a little.
"This person's life force is so weak, they should be clinging to life, near death. Yet, they are still full of energy and vitality, it must be the ghosts at work!"
He probably thinks he won't be killed because he believes too much in these ghosts!
After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun raised his hand and shot two beams of spiritual energy directly into the opponent's body, aiming for the place where the soul fire resided. He wanted to see if he could capture a wisp of ghostly energy.
However, as soon as Gingercloud's spiritual energy appeared, these black qi instantly drilled into the life fire and vanished without a trace.
"That's kind of interesting!"
Jiang Yun's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She hadn't expected the ghost aura to seem to have a degree of consciousness, knowing how to dodge.
If one's spiritual awareness had just swept over this place, these ghostly energies would have concealed themselves within one's life force, and one would still find nothing amiss.
This aroused his interest even more!
"Boom!"
Jiang Yun's brow split open, shooting out a ray of his own life fire, which transformed into a human form.
And just then, the man with the grotesque face opened his eyes, waking up, and happened to meet Jiang Yun's scrutinizing gaze.
Although he couldn't see Jiang Yun's life fire, he recalled Jiang Yun's previous words about researching his own speech. This made his already pale face instantly become translucent, and he trembled as he said, "What... what do you want to do"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just researching your Life Fire!"
Ginger Cloud stretched out a finger, and her humanoid spirit fire immediately rushed into the opponent's body, causing their already flickering flame to weaken by a few points.
"Oh! You, you did what! I feel like I'm going to die!"
A cry of alarm suddenly escaped the man's lips.
Although he couldn't see the life fire, the weakening of his own life fire naturally allowed him to feel the passing of life.
Jiang Yun, however, ignored his cries and urged his own life fire to transform into a human form. He extended two fingers and directly plunged them into the other's life fire.
And just then, those black ghostly energies that were hiding suddenly appeared one after another, and they rushed towards Ginger Cloud's life-giving finger without hesitation.
That feeling is just like seeing a cat that hates fish!
"Oh, what have you done Please spare me! Spare me!"
As the ghostly energy within the life fire diminished, the man's breath grew increasingly faint.
Under the shadow of death, he was no longer arrogant and finally pleaded for mercy.
This further proved Jiang Yun's previous guess.
The reason why the other party can still be so lively and vigorous despite being in such a weak state of fire is because these ghostly energies are at work.
And these ghosts clearly liked vigorous life energy, so after sensing their own life energy, they immediately rushed towards it.
Although letting ghost qi invade one's life fire would certainly not be a good thing, Jiang Yun was utterly fearless and allowed those strands of ghost qi to drill into his own wisp of life fire.
What are you doing!
Bai Ze's startled cry suddenly rang out, and it wasn't until then that he woke up from his memories, just noticing what Jiang Yun had done.
“You’re insane! Don’t take that spark of life back into your body. Once it’s invaded by evil spirits, you’ll become like him – a slave to the ghosts!”
However, Ginger Cloud remained completely unmoved.
After silently feeling the presence of a few strands of ghost Qi swirling around his life fire, he left a strand of ghost Qi for the ghostly man.
Then, he let his own wisp of life fire return to his body with the remaining ghostly energy, and completely merged with his own life fire.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, countless strange voices filled Jiang Yun's mind.
And every sound was filled with agony, pain, fear, and despair, deeply shocking Jiang Yun's soul.
Even his life force, along with him, began to weaken gradually under the stimulation of these sounds.
Meanwhile, somewhere in this world, a disciple of the Yaoshhen Sect stared wide-eyed at the old man slowly drawing his palm out from his own body. Discontent etched across his face.
He originally thought this ghost was easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would die at the hands of a ghost.
This specter has a blood-red tumor on its head. It sticks out its tongue and licks the fresh blood dripping from its fingertips, saying: "Nothing beats the taste of blood!"
Hearing this, the disciple of Yaosh Shenzong trembled and said, "You, you can speak"
This is absolutely impossible, he has already killed dozens of ghosts, knowing that ghosts have no intelligence and are incapable of speech.
The old man grinned at him and said, “Who told you I was a ghost...”
Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly turned his head, looking in a certain direction. His tongue, which hadn't retracted yet, licked away the last trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
"What a vigorous life!"
"Unexpectedly, there are still people here who can detect my ghostly aura. However, you dare to incorporate my ghostly aura into your life fire, you're truly foolish..."
However, at that moment, two dazzling beams of cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes.
The body, after a slight tremor, unexpectedly became translucent and ethereal.
And the disciples of the Yaoshensong, also widened their eyes, looking at the old man's body that had become illusory before them. They trembled violently once more.
"Boom!"
The illusory body exploded, shattering into swirling gray and black mist.
Next, that black mist crazily surged and gathered together. In an instant, it reformed into a black figure.
Wearing a black outfit and a white ghost mask on their face!
