C5 Lingering ghost
As I expected, a figure holding a lantern vaguely appeared in front of me. He slowly walked towards me until he reached the front of me, where legume fructus's familiar face once again appeared in my line of sight.
However, legume fructus had changed her makeup once again. She was wearing a shirt that was supporting her pants and her expression was normal. Ignoring the fact that he was already dead, she now looked like a normal person.
Seeing the legume fructus getting closer, I took a few steps back in fear. When my feet stepped on the dried branches, they creaked, while the legume fructus walked all the way here, without making any sound at all.
"Oh, Old Hu, where are we going? Seeing that you're alone, I'll accompany you. " The legume fructus said, her lips curving into a strange smile.
Just then, the dark clouds dissipated and the moon rose. Under the moonlight, I could see legume fructus's face clearer and clearer.
However, when I looked down at the ground, I realized that there was no shadow underneath legume fructus. This was one of the differences between humans and ghosts.
"No, no need. I can take care of it myself." I replied while shaking my head and waving my hands.
"How can that be? Old Hu, we are brothers after all, shouldn't we shoulder all the hardships together?" The legume fructus's voice was light, like a ghost.
"Of course, let's carry it together!" "Let's carry them together!" I nodded in agreement. He thought to himself, why hasn't Hu Half Immortal appeared yet, I feel goosebumps all over my body.
"Since that's the case," The legume fructus said halfway before continuing, "Then, come and accompany me! How lonely I am by myself! "
With that, the legume fructus revealed his original form, this was what I saw in the wooden shed. His current appearance, his eyes were hollowed out and bleeding profusely, with a big hole in the middle of the hall, it was extremely miserable.
legume fructus, who was originally in front of me, was now resting on my back.
"Bro, it was the weasel that harmed you. If you want to find them, then find them. Let them accompany you. My wife is still pregnant, she can't leave!" I said with fear in my heart, my face a little anxious. I thought, could it be that half-immortal Huang has abandoned me here?
"Hehehe, why did the weasel hurt me, not you? Today, I want you to go to hell with me!" legume fructus opened his mouth, revealing his fangs.
His mouth was still bleeding, staining his entire teeth red. This made his fangs especially glaring in the dark. He said this fiercely and was about to bite my shoulder.
I panicked and couldn't just surrender like this. I flipped my hand and pushed legume fructus away, causing him to fall to the ground.
Originally, as a ghost, he wouldn't have been pushed down by me. However, because he wanted to bite me, he was caught off guard and fell into my trap.
legume fructus was currently unable to calm his anger. He immediately stood up and said to me, "You refuse a toast and eat a forfeit. Today, let me finish you off. This way, you can accompany me. Hehe!" As he spoke, he floated in front of me and said in a cold voice.
legume fructus had an extra blade in his hand, and he was gesturing it around my body. I didn't know why I couldn't move now, but I was like meat on a chopping block.
The blade in legume fructus's hand was about to cut into my chest.
"Come with me, hur hur!" legume fructus revealed a strange smile on his face and licked his lips with a bit of satisfaction.
At this moment, I couldn't move at all. I could only watch helplessly as he stabbed the blade in his hand towards me.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Insolent ghost, you want to kill me, but you have to surrender!"
When legume fructus and I heard this voice, we both looked towards the distance at the same time.
He saw that Hu Half Immortal was dressed in a daoist robe, with Universal Eight Treasures Mirror in his left hand and talisman in his right, as he was walking towards legume fructus.
I was extremely excited, thinking that I was finally saved and that I didn't have to accompany legume fructus and become a ghost.
"Heh, who do I think it is? So it's you, you old bastard! [You actually dare to ruin my plans?] See if I kill you or not! " After saying that, legume fructus retracted his tongue that was long enough to reach his chin, and let go of me, enlarging himself by a few times.
This horrifying face, and then directly hit my brain, leaving me without the ability to think.
"What are you still standing there for?" Hurry and come over! " When the Hu Half Immortal saw me standing there motionlessly, he was so angry that he stomped his feet.
I then realized that Hu Half Immortal had already removed the restriction legume fructus had placed on me, so I could move now.
legume fructus is too busy dealing with Hu Half Immortal, he doesn't have the energy to care about me.
Feeling that my body finally belonged to me, I finally heaved a sigh of relief. I hurriedly moved my hands and feet, and quickly ran to the back of the Hu Half Immortal.
"Great deity, you finally came. Hurry up and subdue him." I gasped, patting my chest.
Seeing me walk over, the legume fructus's anger in his heart couldn't be calmed, his hair seemed to have been blown all over the place.
A gust of cool breeze blew towards Hu Half Immortal and me, causing me to feel the chill within. I felt as though it was winter already, and coupled with the darkness of the night now, I couldn't help but shiver.
"So cold, hiss!" I crossed my arms and said.
"Old Lord Taishang ordered me to stop immediately!" The talisman in Hu Half Immortal's hand shone with light and floated towards legume fructus.
The azure moon was now hidden in the clouds, and the sky was completely dark again.
Hu Half Immortal's right hand also did not idle around, he immediately extended his index and middle finger, using these two fingers to drive the surrounding air flow, fluorescent light emitting out, writing down the symbol of a ghost.
An even more frenzied gust of wind gushed towards us, nearly knocking me to the ground. Fortunately, I was able to stabilize my body due to my daily training.
Although the legume fructus was a new ghost, due to his overbearing aura and the fact that his corpse was dug out by a weasel after he died, it caused him to be unable to rest in peace. Right now, his mana was also strengthened.
Just when I couldn't hold on any longer, Hu Half Immortal used another peach wood sword tool and pierced towards legume fructus. At this time, he blocked the fierce wind and finally gained the upper hand.
I stood at the side and looked at Hu Half Immortal's spell. My heart was about to jump out of my chest. My stomach was churning.
As time passed, the legume fructus was finally defeated and kept under his dragnet.
"Heh, let's see if you still dare to be dishonest or not!" Hu Half Immortal said as he kicked legume fructus's body while holding onto the net.
At this time, legume fructus returned to his normal appearance before he died and curled up under the Hu Half Immortal's net.
Although the Er Mazi still tried to struggle free from the web, everything he did was in vain. He screamed but could not get out and lost his freedom.
Seeing the current legume fructus in such pain, my heart couldn't bear it. After all, we were brothers that grew up together, so I didn't want to see him like this.
At this time, the Hu Half Immortal said to me, "Now that we have subdued him, we can send him to the transcendent."
