Although the legs of the “living ghost baby” were thin, they were extremely powerful. Under the force of a stomp, the offering table “crunched”, directly cracking in half.
Suddenly, it leapt up high like a big frog, with incredible speed like a projectile and shot straight? towards Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan. A long messy lock of hair with inertia raised up high, almost filling the small and cramped room.
Wei Fuyuan’s eyes were swift and his hands were quick. As soon as he pushed Bei Quan away, he rolled on the spot with the inertia jolting forwards directly at him, avoiding the attack of the “living ghost baby”.
“Bei Quan, go and hide!”
With that, Wei Fuyuan pulled Bei Quan up and pushed him deep into the corridor. At the same time, he remained focused but in a rush with no time to unbutton his shirt, he tore it open in a flash.
His body was strong. Although his muscles were not as impressive or big like a bodybuilders’, they were well defined with clear and smooth lines, which could be described as “pleasing to the eye”.
Wei Fu Yuan suddenly undressed, being careful to not show a single beautiful muscle which may deter or lure the “living ghost baby”.
His back and spine had strokes of gold and red lines, like a huge tattoo that extended from the shoulders and neck all the way down to his lower back.
This was the spell that Bei Quan had painted on his back the first day they had arrived in the mansion, known as their “Plan A”.
When Bei Quan used his own blood as the “ink” to draw these charms, Wei Fuyuan became very worried.
Even if he didn’t take a bath at night, it surely would rub off on his clothing and the bedding. How could it stay on him until the time was right?
But, facts have proved that even if it was painted with blood, Bei Quan’s blood was no ordinary blood. This large piece of charm had stayed on Wei Fuyuan’s back now for a whole day, and was still as clear and beautiful as when it was first painted. The combined hues of red with gold were even more gorgeous than pure fresh blood.
At the same time, the “living ghost baby” missed it’s attack, and instead bumped on the wall of the corridor due to the force of the strong attack.
Chen Dafa told the construction team to paste the wall with a special cement, one that would trap the “living ghost baby” and prevent it from escaping.
Now the “living ghost baby” had hit this directly. Just like hitting a red hot soldering iron, it trembled in place, shaking violently before jolting upwards, then fell to the floor like a big heap.
From the moment it became conscious, it was imprisoned by its master, so it had not learnt how to walk, but crawled on all fours like a beast.
“Xiao Wei!”
Seeing the “living ghost baby” arch its back like a cat, preparing to jump, Bei Quan shouted in a deep voice.
“Take advantage of this!”
Wei Fuyuan did not dare to hesitate.
He followed the method Bei Quan taught him from memory, forming a hand seal using both hands while reciting quickly and clearly under his breath.
[“When the heavenly soldiers descend, help me make my destiny. Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang gather around me. It’s urgent as law!”]
The “living ghost baby” seemed to be angered by the spell on Wei Fuyuan, perhaps feeling threatened. It opened its mouth and let out a loud hiss like a cat’s cry. It began stomping its legs before leaping high, pouncing straight towards Wei Fuyuan.
At the moment the spell was completed, Bei Quan suddenly fell to the ground.
Seeing the “living ghost baby” coming at him, Wei Fuyuan felt no fear.
He only felt that his mind and body were in a wonderful, incomparable state of mystery.
If he had to describe it, his current situation was like the time when his soul was shot out by Bei Quan, and shared what another person was feeling.
His body was out of proportion, like being in an oversized dress. There was also someone else with him.
The other person was none other than Bei Quan.
The “living ghost baby” was close at hand.
Wei Fuyuan’s body moved.
He reached his hand outwards towards the young girl coming towards him, swiftly and accurately, striking his palm against the “living ghost baby’s” head.
Golden light suddenly burst out from his flattened palm.
The power of Wei Fuyuan’s merit and virtue seemed to pour out a curtain of light— from the point of contact it had flown all the way through the body of the “living ghost baby”.
?Waeeee!!?
It let out a scream similar to the cry of a young child in pain.
This was not just like a soldering iron but was like throwing a handful of white phosphorus on top. It was in so much pain that it was on the verge of having a breakdown.
The “living ghost baby” instinctively leapt backwards, rolled into a tight ball and jumped up in the air. It appeared to spin around the room in reaction, hitting and bouncing off the walls before falling to the floor, staggering to get up on its feet again.
“Pa, papa!”
The “living ghost baby” muttered a syllabic phrase with an unknown meaning whilst staring directly at Wei Fuyuan with murderous intent. It began crawling backwards a few steps on its hands and knees in an ape-like posture.
Wei Fuyuan, who was still shocked that the “living ghost baby” was sent flying across the room with just one touch of his palm, heard a low but ? beautifully soft magnetic voice ringing inside his head.
[Don’t be afraid, and don’t resist. Give yourself to me.]
Bei Quan spoke to Wei Fuyuan.
Wei Fuyuan wanted to nod his head, but his body was not under his own control at all.
This was the first time that poor Young Master Wei had experienced such a delicate feeling.
He felt that his three souls and seven spirits had never been so clearly exposed to another person before.
It was as if he was naked, free from wearing any clothes at all. Being held tightly in Bei Quan’s arms, pressed so tightly that no gap was left from each other, Wei Fuyuan felt a whole range of emotions surge through his body. The shame of having nothing to hide, but more than that, he felt the ambiguity and helplessness that made his heart beat faster and throb unbearably.
——Fuck, you can do whatever you want! Don’t ask me so many questions!
Wei Fuyuan was so ashamed and so embarrassed that he felt like he would spontaneously combust at once. He could only yell in his heart, not knowing if Bei Quan could hear him.
[Okay, I get it.]
He heard Bei Quan’s reply with a hidden smile.
Then Wei Fuyuan’s body moved on its own.
He bent down and picked up the bronze candelabra that he used to smash the wall just moments ago.
[Xiao Wei, watch carefully.]
Bei Quan’s voice was still echoing inside his little assistant’s head.
[Use your body to remember how the power of merit should be used.]
Wei Fuyuan’s heart shuddered.
Bei Quan, who had never willingly taken the initiative to teach him how, was now forced with no other way.
This feeling was too subtle.
The power of virtue, which he had been struggling to control, could only be triggered suddenly when he was nervous or in danger. But ever since Bei Quan possessed him, it was like a warm current flowing through his body, being controlled by him at will.
The golden light slowly flowed around and out of his body, following Wei Fuyuan’s palm, guided to the tightly held candelabra.
The “living ghost baby” that suffered from Wei Fuyuan just a moment ago, had been completely aroused and captivated by ferocity.
The extreme emotions were overpowering and had captivated the host for many, many years. The anger, panic, unwillingness, and hostility were like some kind of powerful catalyst, which had stimulated the “Tao practice” of the “living ghost baby”— by plundering the lifespans of the “tributes” in the most recent 100 years— stimulating the angry ghost attached to it.
The shadow around its shoulder swelled rapidly and started merging with its long, dishevelled hair, becoming a part of its body.
?Sha!?
?Sha!?
?Sha?Sha?Sha!?
The pale lips of the “living ghost baby” pursed close and opened, repeatedly uttering the same syllable over and over.
This time, Wei Fuyuan heard it.
It was saying, “Kill”!
In the next second, the “living ghost baby” jumped up again and rushed towards Wei Fuyuan at a speed almost indiscernible to the naked eye.
Bei Quan did not meet the attack head-on, but controlled Wei Fuyuan’s body and took a step backwards.
This step was small, but very precise.
He just made enough room away from the sharp claws of the “living ghost baby”, which could easily tear through steel and concrete.
“Dang!”
The little girl crashed into the wall and directly opening a bowl-sized hole in it.
Wei Fuyuan held the candelabra as if he was holding a sword and sent the tip of the trident flying forwards!
“Puff!”
The spikes of the candelabra, enveloped in the power of merit and virtue, pierced straight into the back of the “living ghost baby”, piercing and penetrating so deeply and easily like a dining knife cutting through a block of tofu.
The “living ghost baby” tilted its head high, hissing and screaming, revealing an unbearably painful expression.
Obviously, Bei Quan’s quick, accurate and cruel blow had hurt the “living ghost baby” but failed to subdue it.
The little girl’s long, dishevelled hair rose, hissing as if it was alive. It rolled around the candelabra, crawling up Wei Fuyuan’s arm, almost wrapping his entire body.
Wei Fuyuan felt something he was very familiar with, the eerie feeling which could only belong to resentful Yin qi. It was as if it could freeze his body solid, with? coldness so extreme that it could pierce his bones.
The split moment when the coldness hit, Bei Quan controlled his power of merit and virtue, circulating it along the eight meridians, and quickly dispersed the aura of resentment that was eating away his heart and soul.
Wei Fuyuan loosened his grip on the candelabra, pulling the hair wrapped around his body with one hand, and stretched out his other hand straight in front of him, like a pair of pliers, firmly grasping onto the neck of the “living ghost baby”.
Originally, according to the rules, to avoid cause and effect, and not to commit sins, Bei Quan could only take the ghost into the Lost God Banner, and could not beat it to death.
But this time, he faced two difficult opponents, the “living ghost baby”, and the Hui Gui, and he was also seriously injured. He had to borrow Wei Fuyuan’s body to act. He really couldn’t control the Lost God Banner to recover them.
Therefore, from the beginning, Bei Quan had already thought about it when planning? “Plan A”.
Once the spell had been used, it would be the equivalent to killing— no matter what it encountered, it would directly hit the soul so that the other party could never be reborn again.
[I’m sorry, Xiao Wei].
Wei Fuyuan heard Bei Quan say to himself.
[This time, I owe you.]
After that, Wei Fuyuan immediately felt a scorching heat coming from his back.
.
What Bei Quan had painted on his back was a double-layered incantation.
The first layer was the god surrender incantation, that was, the Taoist invocation of the gods.
The second layer, on the other hand, was an evil-breaking talisman.
The spell would take Wei Fuyuan’s body as the carrier and when activated by the caster, they would be entangled with the “living baby” and Hui Gui.
If someone had opened their Yin and Yang eyes to watch, they would have seen Wei Fuyuan covered in various coloured intertwining lights. Gold, red, and black lights intertwined while he was still holding the little girl’s neck with one hand and grabbing her shoulders with the other. Using the classic posture shown in the anti-Japanese dramas of tearing apart ghosts, the “living ghost baby” was still struggling violently whilst being torn in half.
?YAAAAAAA!!!?
The “living ghost baby” gave out its last and most tragic scream. Together with the Hui Gui, it was turned into powder by the evil-breaking curse blessed by the power of merit.
“Dong!”
Wei Fuyuan suddenly fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
