This ghost was just as swift as him, and although it didn't make many moves, it was enough to unsettle Xie Guanying.
"This...this is truly unbelievable..."
"It's truly unexpected that not only is Sage Zhang here, but Xie Guanying is also here. What a pleasant surprise!"
Upon hearing this voice, Xie Guanying immediately frowned and felt a surge of anger.
He turned his head and saw a man and two women appear before him as if riding on clouds. The one speaking was the woman in white, Tantai Pingjing.
"Tantai Ping'an, why are you everywhere? Not only do you try to steal my luck, but you also brought Xu Fengnian with you!"
The ghostly Dan Ying let out a strange, eerie laugh. It was agile and wielded a chilling wind. With a flick of its red robe, it plunged Zhang Fuyao and Xie Guanying into a cloud of yin energy.
Zhang Fuyao coldly observed the three newcomers, knowing that this was a case of double-crossing, with them all eyeing her weakened state and trying to steal her fortune.
He stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly completely unconcerned, muttering to himself, "In the blink of an eye, we are already a thousand miles away."
"Words become law, little baby, stop him!"
Luo Yang exclaimed in surprise. Dan Ying, the fastest among them, immediately reached out to pull Zhang Fuyao.
Stab it!
Zhang Fuyao's figure vanished instantly, leaving the ghostly Dan Ying dumbfounded.
Dan Ying held the sleeve she had torn from Zhang Fuyao's hand in one hand, examined it with her other five hands, then smelled it with both noses, and finally looked at each other with her four eyes, trying to find the scent in it.
Luo Yang rushed over and asked anxiously, "How is it? Can we give chase?"
Dan Ying nodded both of his heads at the same time. He was a ghost and had just left his aura on Zhang Fuyao, so he could be tracked.
Tantai calmly said, "Master, Zhang Fuyao's life force is running low. This last time, his words became law, which was also his trump card to save his life. If we chase after him again, he will have no chance of escaping."
Before she could finish speaking, she found herself completely alone, followed by Xie Guanying's shrill scream!
A cold smile appeared on Luo Yang's lips as he watched Xu Fengnian suddenly launch a sneak attack on Xie Guanying, severing one of Xie Guanying's arms.
Xu Fengnian is starting to resemble Emperor Qin more and more these days.
Xie Guanying screamed in pain, then immediately used his lightness skill to escape in the opposite direction from Zhang Fuyao.
This person's lightness skill was excellent, and no one except Dan Ying could catch up with him. However, Dan Ying still needed to follow Zhang Fuyao based on his aura. The three people and the ghost did not think much and immediately chased after Zhang Fuyao.
Although Xie Guanying had much good fortune, it could not compare to the Confucian and Taoist sages of eight hundred years ago.
Knowing the cultivation levels of Xu Fengnian and the other two, Xie Guanying fled without hesitation after being ambushed. To prevent the enemy from sending one of them to pursue him, he fled northwards with his head down.
Fifteen minutes later, seeing that there was no movement behind him, he finally felt relieved.
However, just as he was about to stop and tend to his wounds, he suddenly felt a powerful aura from the north attacking him.
"laugh!"
The qi pierced the air, but fortunately the distance was far enough and Xie Guanying was agile enough to barely dodge it, only suffering a minor scratch.
However, immediately following this attack of the Three-Part Returning Qi was a blade of light several feet long. The sharp blade of light came extremely fast, and Xie Guanying, who had just dodged the Qi, was slashed at the waist and was almost cut in two.
"What a rat!"
He roared, then pressed his hand against his bleeding abdomen, which was covered in two large wounds from which blood was gushing out.
"Xie Guanying, your death is near."
Xie Guanying's vision blurred, and two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared before him. The one in black armor and a red cloak was Li Chang'an, while the one in white had delicate features under a bamboo hat, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female.
It was his daughter!
"You...you murdered your father!"
Nangong Pushe's expression was icy cold. He didn't answer and continued to slash with his sword.
Xie Guanying lost too much blood, which greatly affected his strength. He felt that Nangong Pushe's sword strikes were getting stronger and faster with each strike!
The thirteenth strike hit his left arm, and the fifteenth strike slashed his lower back!
The eighteenth pause, the Spring Thunder Blade plunged deep into the collarbone, and blood spurted out ten feet high!
With a scream from Xie Guanying, Minister Nangong drew his sword and retreated, watching Xie Guanying struggle in his death throes.
Xie Guanying lay in a pool of blood, his limbs twitching uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word, only spitting out bloody froth.
Li Chang'an stepped forward and collected all the remaining fortune into his Qi Sea.
Xie Guanying stared with bloodshot eyes as Li Chang'an absorbed the fortune he had accumulated throughout his life, yet he was powerless to put up any resistance.
Xie Guanying, who harbored lofty ambitions, stopped breathing in a desolate wilderness, leaving this world with endless regret and remorse.
Minister Nangong bowed to Li Chang'an and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me achieve my revenge!"
Xie Guanying died, as did Wang Xianzhi, Tuoba Pusa, and Han Shengxuan, who had absorbed their mother's fortune. All of these deaths were inseparable from Li Chang'an's help.
"To repay Your Highness's kindness in helping me, I will always be loyal to Your Highness."
Li Chang'an saw that Nangong Pushe's emotional value had reached 100, but this full emotional value was mostly gratitude and admiration.
"It's good that you're grateful. From now on, you'll be my bodyguard."
Upon hearing this, Minister Nangong visibly shifted her body uncomfortably. She knew perfectly well what the relationship was between Li Chang'an and his guards, Qingniao and Jiang Si.
However, she hasn't broken through the nineteen-stop mark yet, and she still has many questions to ask Li Chang'an. It should be fine to just ask the coach for guidance.
"I obey my orders."
Li Chang'an told Minister Nangong to go back first, while he continued to chase after Zhang Fuyao in the direction she had left. He couldn't let Xu Fengnian benefit from the eight hundred years of Confucian fortune.
Li Chang'an chased for another hour, relying on the powerful divine sense he had cultivated through the Sacred Heart Technique, and kept following the faint ghostly aura until he finally found Zhang Fuyao.
Zhang Fuyao was being attacked from both sides by three people and a ghost, and his Confucian supernatural powers were proving to be quite troublesome. Although his energy was somewhat depleted, preventing him from freely using his ability to make words come true, the fact that he had only suffered minor injuries demonstrated his formidable strength.
The saying "Words become law" sounds good; I'd like to try studying Confucianism in my next life.
Ghosts are elusive and difficult to deal with. Eight hundred years of evil energy versus eight hundred years of Confucian righteousness is a stalemate.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, both of the ghost's heads froze, their mouths gaping open, and they let out a painful scream!
His body was firmly gripped by a large yellow hand, from which Sanskrit characters emanated.
Solemn Buddhist chanting emanated from the large hand. Li Chang'an's Buddhist aura made the eight-hundred-year-old ghost feel as if it were being roasted. Its charred flesh cracked little by little, and traces of black blood flowed out from the cracks.
"Ow!"
A piercing scream echoed through the sky, and the two ghost heads became even more ferocious, revealing long fangs in their mouths, their scarlet eyes staring at Li Chang'an, who stood with his hands behind his back not far away.
Li Chang'an frowned and shook his head in disdain.
"Tsk tsk, Xu Fengnian, your sons are really ugly, and they're even conjoined twins."
The six withered and rugged arms were gradually worn away by the Buddha's light. The ghost spewed out pitch-black Yin energy from its two mouths. The human hearts and livers it had consumed over the past hundreds of years were all dissolved in this boundless Yin energy.
"Baby!"
Luo Yang let out a miserable cry, but was immediately pulled away by Xu Fengnian. Anyone who came into contact with this kind of yin energy would die.
Before long, Dan Ying completely turned into a pool of pus and blood within the Buddhist energy, and the stench stretched for hundreds of feet.
Chapter 254 Minister Nangong: If you're tired, then forget it.
The ghost baby was the child of Qin Shi Huang and the fox spirit, and should logically be the most hated being in Luoyang.
However, perhaps because the human and the ghost came from the same era, and because the Princess Tomb has been enshrining the ghost baby for many years, Luoyang has a deep affection for the ghost baby.
Although the ghost infant was a ghost, its strength was only that of an ordinary Earth Immortal. Moreover, Li Chang'an's Buddhist techniques were effective against Yin ghosts, so he killed the ghost completely in one move.
Xu Fengnian and the others had not witnessed Li Chang'an slaughtering the celestial beings and were unaware of Li Chang'an's cultivation level, but now that he had made his move, all three of them were dumbfounded.
The immortality of the gods!
It is much stronger than Luoyang, and it is clear that even the three of them combined are no match for Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an glanced at Xu Fengnian, Luo Yang, and Tantai Pingjing. The three of them were quite united. Xu Fengnian must have obtained Gao Shulu's celestial physique, making him the strongest among the three, enough to rival Yuan Qingshan.
No wonder these three were able to stop Zhang Fuyao, the celestial being on land, and seriously injure Xie Guanying.
The red dot between Xu Fengnian's brows flickered with an unusual crimson hue as he rapidly calculated whether he had any chance of winning against Li Chang'an.
"Master, please go first. I'll hold off Li Chang'an."
Tantai Ping's tall and imposing figure fluctuated with energy. Suddenly, he abandoned Zhang Fuyao and rushed towards Li Chang'an.
Xu Fengnian made a decisive move, his figure moving like lightning as he sped towards the southeast, shouting, "Luoyang, let's go!"
In the blink of an eye, Xu Fengnian and Luo Yang had already flown several miles, leaving Tantai Pingcheng behind without looking back.
Li Chang'an smiled calmly. Xu Fengnian couldn't summon the True Martial Body, and knowing that he would die if he fought Li Chang'an, he simply abandoned his disciple from his previous life and ran away.
At this moment, Tantai Ping was completely different from the otherworldly master she was known for; she looked like a little woman willing to die for her beloved.
With a sudden flick of his sleeve, Li Chang'an repelled the fierce attack of Tantai Ping'an. His tall, slender blue figure flew dozens of feet away like a kite with a broken string.
"The dignified sect leader of Guanyin Sect, the leader of Qi cultivators in the South China Sea, has almost no luck left in his body. You are truly devoted to Xu Fengnian."
To ensure Xu Fengnian's escape, Tantai Pingjing once again charged forward recklessly, declaring, "To fulfill Master's wish, I am not afraid of death!"
Tantai Ping's palm was enveloped in powerful qi, and dust rose up dozens of feet around him, clearly to buy Xu Fengnian time to escape.
