Chapter 1190: Subduing a Great Ghost (4)
??
As the spiritual energy in her dantian was stirred up, abundant spiritual energy gathered around Chi Shuyan’s five fingers, and she threw it out. With a loud bang, a shallow pit was created in the ground, and sand and stones flew everywhere. Although the ghost’s body was stiff, it could be said to be quite fast. It spurted water again and let out a high-pitched wail.
Everyone was in pain and on the verge of collapse when they heard this wail. The water had already started to come up to their waists, and there was a lot of seaweed in the water that tugged at their legs, wanting to wrap around them and drown them.
Chen Jin, Old Yu, Su Yu and the others didn’t dare let go of each other’s hands at all. They gripped each other tightly and just barely kept themselves from becoming entangled in the seaweed. Some of the boys were unable to hold on for much longer, panicked as they were by the series of events.
In particular, when they saw the numerous hideous and twisted ghost faces outside the barrier, they were scared witless. When so many appeared all of a sudden, the group was simply scared out of their wits and could only scream for help.
Chi Shuyan didn’t attack the other party at that moment; she knew that this thing was too difficult to deal with. She tilted her head and saw everyone screaming in pain with white faces. She knew that she couldn’t let things continue like this. Even if she could deal with this thing in front of her, many people would probably die if things carried on this way.
She suddenly remembered that there was an Eight Trigrams Extreme Evil Suppression Array in the Mystic Yin Arts that could suppress all evil. It was just that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy and was extremely demanding. She could only just try it if she was at the fifth level of the Mystic Yin Arts.
At that moment, however, Chi Shuyan couldn’t worry about that as she looked up at the great ghost in front of her. She hurriedly circulated the spiritual energy in her dantian at 100 times the normal speed.
The Eight Trigrams Extreme Evil Suppression Array required a lot of spiritual energy to support it. Without enough spiritual energy, it wouldn’t take shape.
Soon, fine cold sweat broke out on Chi Shuyan’s forehead and her face turned pale. She could clearly see the dense spiritual energy in her dantian gradually splitting into eight trigrams that spun wildly.
The ghost keenly sensed the danger. Taking advantage of Chi Shuyan’s distraction, it fiercely attacked Chen Jin, Old Yu and the others.
The stupefied crowd screamed in horror when that rotting ghost face lunged at them.
...
Mao Di, Meng Ping and Huang Shanming were the most unlucky; that bloated ghost face was practically right in front of them, and it opened its mouth to bite them. They were so scared that their legs turned to jelly and they almost collapsed.
Her forehead covered in cold sweat, Chi Shuyan shouted at that moment, “Go!”
Immediately, a bright, white Eight Trigrams Extreme Evil Suppression Array flew out of Chi Shuyan’s body. Chen Jin, Old Yu, Su Yu and the others just saw an intense white light flash in front of their eyes.
The array took advantage of the ghost’s carelessness to fall swiftly from the sky and smash down on its head.
A sharp, mournful and ear-splitting scream suddenly rang out, followed by the woman’s unpleasant, murderous and extremely resentful voice. “It’s not fair! It’s not fair! Hundreds of years ago, I was wrongly accused and drowned in a cage. Hundreds of years later, I’m going to die at someone’s hands again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a white light flashed, and the ghost instantly exploded into pieces inside the array. The water that had just reached everyone’s waists suddenly disappeared, and even the lonely souls and wild ghosts that had been summoned by the great ghost outside the barrier had left at some point.
Chi Shuyan staggered back a few steps. There was a bloody taste in her throat, and she had to force herself to stand upright. Her eyes fell on the boys not far away who were still struggling and shouting for help. Their voices were so loud, so they were most likely fine. Seeing that Chen Jin and Old Yu were fine, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay?”
“Are you okay?”
Chen Jin and Old Yu were the first to react. They looked at each other and saw that there was no water on the ground and no ghost thing in front of them. After their elation, the two teachers were still stupefied and in disbelief that they were really fine. No, it was because Shuyan had gotten rid of that ghost.
Thinking of the white light that had fallen from the sky earlier and how agile and formidable this student had been when dealing with that ghost thing, Chen Jin no longer dared to look at Chi Shuyan like she was an ordinary person. His mind was blank and he was stupefied.
If it wasn’t for the fact that what he had just experienced was too real and that his lower torso was completely wet, and he squelched with every move he made, Chen Jin would have thought he had dreamt up everything that had happened tonight.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Chen Jin was thinking at that moment. She had consumed too much spiritual energy, and her limbs and bones were weak and she was exhausted. After taking a long while to recover, she then strode over and said to the two teachers, “It’s fine!”
As she spoke, she glanced at the injured Yu Bo and Director Huang. She didn’t have the strength to go to the hospital tonight, nor did she plan to. She found an excuse and said, “Teacher Chen, Teacher Yu, I still have something on tonight. I’m afraid I’ll have to leave it to the two of you to send Director Huang and Yu Bo to the hospital later. Sorry to trouble you! The ambulance should be here soon!”
After the two teachers agreed, Chi Shuyan motioned for Su Yu and the other energetic boys to make Director Huang throw up the water he had swallowed earlier. If he didn’t, he might really not see the sun the next day.
Although she didn’t have a good impression of Director Huang, since he had survived, it wasn’t difficult for her to help him. After all, she didn’t have some sort of death grudge against Director Huang, nor did she absolutely have to see him dead.
She thought that what happened tonight would probably leave an extremely deep impression on Director Huang, and he wouldn’t dare deny certain things so easily in the future. Chi Shuyan was in a good mood. She removed the barrier and said to the two teachers, “Then, I’ll leave first!”
