Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Master Zhikong’s Cunning Plan_1
"Hahahaha..."
Master Zhikong laughed heartily as he gazed skyward.
Afterwards, he said coldly, "If you dare make any rash moves, these eight hundred hemp ropes will all be pulled taut. As a result, eight hundred laborers will meet their demise! And moreover, it will all be because of you. The debt of their lives will be calculated on your head!"
As soon as Master Zhikong finished speaking, ghostly pale hands stretched out from each of the small holes above.
The other ends of the ropes were held by those ghostly hands.
Qin Feng could see at a glance that there was another layer above the cave; those ghostly hands belonged to the Yin Soldiers.
Those who could become Yin Soldiers were fierce ghosts and not easy to deal with.
Moreover, there were eight hundred Yin Soldiers above, each holding a hostage in hand.
Seeing Qin Feng did not dare to make a move, Master Zhikong immediately became extremely complacent.
That night, after having been thoroughly defeated by Qin Feng, to the point of wetting his pants, he had been thinking about revenge.
Knowing he was no match for Qin Feng in strength, he thought of this strategy as soon as Xue Yuhang delivered these eight hundred laborers into his arms.
Using the lives of eight hundred to make Qin Feng hesitate.
In this way, he could lead Qin Feng by the nose, step by step into his trap.
Master Zhikong wouldn’t kill Qin Feng directly.
Because, a grandmaster like Qin Feng, if captured and turned into a reanimated corpse or a zombie, would be an invincible being.
Therefore, he first wanted to capture Qin Feng’s soul.
Whoosh!
A strip of white silk fell from the sky.
Wen Wenjing, dressed in a red gown, descended gracefully like a butterfly, twirling around the white silk.
Qin Feng swept a glance and noticed that Wen Wenjing’s stomach was not bulging at the moment.
She exuded an air of a ripened womanhood.
It was the scent of the neighbor’s wife!
Female ghosts, they are even more bewitching than fox spirits.
With Wen Wenjing’s charm at that moment, any normal man would be enraptured by her every frown and smile, her coquettish behavior.
Seeing Qin Feng entranced, Xue Xiaochan jabbed him fiercely in the behind with her knee.
"Like what you see?" she asked.
"Not as good-looking as you," Qin Feng replied wisely.
Seeing Xue Xiaochan disrupt her charm, Wen Wenjing immediately became furious with embarrassment and lunged at her.
She opened her ghastly maw, revealing rows of sharp white teeth, and bit down on Xue Xiaochan’s neck.
Qin Feng, seeing this, struck Wen Wenjing in the chest with his palm.
Spurt...
After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Wen Wenjing was sent flying.
With a thud, she first hit the wall and then fell to the ground.
That palm strike had felt somewhat spongy.
Could Wen Wenjing’s physical body still be intact?
Master Zhikong had refined her soul into a fierce ghost and her corpse into a revenant, and then fused the two together.
Wen Wenjing at this time, could not be considered dead, nor alive.
She was known as a soulless person.
In the Xuanhuang Medical Classic, there is a documented method to revive a soulless person.
But, one must at least attain the level of Honor Doctor to utilize it.
Qin Feng, at the moment, was still merely a Healer, two levels below Honor Doctor.
Reviving a soulless person would grant a great deal of merit, allowing one to directly cultivate from Honor Doctor to Divine Doctor.
The thought exhilarated Qin Feng.
As long as he consummated his marriage with Xue Xiaochan, he could cultivate into being a Physician.
After becoming a Physician, once he revives Wen Wenjing, he could cultivate into a Divine Doctor.
From Physician to Honor Doctor, one could rely on pills.
At most, it would take three years.
So, his immediate priority was to consummate the marriage with Xue Xiaochan!
Without taking the first step, even if he thought through the next two steps and knew where to go, he wouldn’t be able to move forward!
At that moment, Master Zhikong spoke up.
"With that palm strike just now, you must have felt her physical body, right? She’s not dead yet, she can still be saved. If you kill her, it’s like killing a living person."
Master Zhikong was certain Qin Feng wouldn’t dare to kill, wouldn’t dare to take the life of a sentient being who had lost her own consciousness.
Because that would be unwarranted slaughter!
That’s why he had arranged for Wen Wenjing to be there.
Xue Xiaochan initially had no complaints about Qin Feng’s palm strike on Wen Wenjing.
However, upon hearing from Master Zhikong that Wen Wenjing still had a physical body, she was suddenly overcome with jealousy.
After all, the strike Qin Feng had dealt just now was to the chest!
Xue Xiaochan’s face turned sullen instantly, and she asked Qin Feng, "Did you do that on purpose?"
Qin Feng, clueless, replied, "What did I do on purpose?"
"That palm strike just now, did you intentionally aim for her chest?"
"I did not."
"Don’t hit randomly anymore, if you dare aim for any improper places again, I’ll kill you!"
"She’s just a female ghost, not a proper woman. Are you really jealous?" Qin Feng was at a loss for words.
"Just don’t hit carelessly!"
On the side, Master Zhikong began to strike the Muyu.
Thump!
Thump thump!
...
Accompanied by the hollow sounds of the Muyu, shattered shadows lunged towards Wen Wenjing and burrowed into her body.
Wen Wenjing’s hands immediately sprouted long, black nails, sharp beyond measure.
Fangs also grew out in her mouth, gleaming ominously white.
The face that had been reasonably attractive, enough to bewitch men, twisted instantly into something utterly horrific.
Seeing the transformation of Wen Wenjing, Xue Xiaochan immediately changed her mind.
"You can hit anywhere, just don’t get hurt yourself."
"You’re not jealous anymore?"
"She’s so ugly now, even if you put her in your bed, you’d be scared off."
This woman was just that straightforward.
"Even if she had remained as she was just before, I’d still run away! Aside from my wife, you, no matter how beautiful other women are, I’d run off as fast as my legs could carry me."
He wouldn’t dare speak for the future, but right now, Qin Feng’s mind was filled with only one woman, Xue Xiaochan.
Having followed in the footsteps of his ancestors for so long, he was still revolving around the Healer stage, yet to level up. This was indeed somewhat disappointing to his ancestors! Having Xue Xiaochan’s permission, Qin Feng felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
As Wen Wenjing lunged at him, he unleashed a series of fast punches, sending her flying out again. The lingering souls that had attached themselves to Wen Wenjing were also dispersed by his strikes.
Thump!
Thump thump!
...
Master Zhikong continued playing the Muyu.
Each strike signalled another remnant soul burrowing into Wen Wenjing’s body.
As long as remnants souls entered her body, Wen Wenjing could continue to rise and fight.
Unless her body was destroyed.
Causing her complete death!
This was Master Zhikong’s strategy, as he knew Qin Feng would never dare to destroy Wen Wenjing’s physical body.
Hence, he planned to use the tens of thousands of remnant souls from Moon Lake to exhaust Qin Feng completely.
As for Qin Feng.
After dispersing the remnant souls inside Wen Wenjing with a flurry of combo strikes.
He found that the Xuanhuang Qi in his Dantian was actually increasing bit by bit.
That meant, even though these remnant souls were rather weak, dispersing them could still "grind" for experience.
The more Xuanhuang Qi increased, the better Qin Feng’s stamina became.
After several dozen rounds, tens of thousands of remnant souls had been dispelled, and Qin Feng was feeling more and more energetic.
