Chapter 866 The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry

Although the two were on the same plane, Lin Yi, for some reason, had an extremely arrogant expression and stared at the old ghost in front of him with a condescending attitude.

For a moment, Old Ghost even had the illusion that he was the one who had just been tortured.

Old Ghost clearly sensed that he could no longer see through Lin Yi, yet he still refused to believe the fact that he was no longer Lin Yi's match.

"What are you up to, kid? Do you think you're in a better position to negotiate with me now that you've changed like this? Let me tell you this clearly: no matter what you say today, I'm not going to hold back. I'm taking your life!"

The old ghost, who didn't believe in superstition, raised his hand as he spoke, gathered his divine power in his palm, and grabbed at Lin Yi again.

Thinking that his immense and even more powerful divine strength could completely crush Lin Yi, the old ghost was puzzled as soon as he made his move:

Lin Yi was standing right in front of him, but he couldn't sense his presence.

When attacking ordinary targets, Lao Gui would determine the enemy's exact location by the aura emanating from them, in order to launch a more precise attack.

Years of combat experience told Lao Gui that he couldn't act rashly at this time.

Once the Soul-Destroying Ghost Hand was fully formed, the old ghost maintained a safe distance from the person in front of him and then carefully observed the person in front of him.

Compared to before, Lin Yi had changed more than just his appearance. A peculiar aura of black smoke swirled around him, making Old Ghost feel uneasy just looking at him, let alone touching him. He even felt an urge to slap himself.
Old Ghost, when did you become such a coward? He's just a kid, what are you afraid of!
I had just finished encouraging myself when a cloud of black mist appeared in front of me.

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to make a deal with you. Let this kid go, and you can get lost, okay?"

Lin Yi clenched his left fist, raised his thumb, and pointed at himself.

This guy?
Yeah, this kid's way of talking is weird.

Old Ghost didn't react for a moment. The kid in front of him used a skill far beyond the forbidden spell level, [Ghost Possession]. He didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. Faced with the black mist that suddenly appeared in front of him, he was so nervous that he instinctively squeezed the [Soul-Destroying Ghost Hand] that he had gathered in his right palm down towards Lin Yi's head.

Dark purple crystals enveloped the old ghost's entire right hand; this special substance was composed of divine power condensed within it.

Not only does it possess terrifying destructive power, but it also carries the corrosive power of the sinister skills cultivated by the old ghost.

If the skin is even slightly scratched by this Soul-Destroying Ghost Claw, countless ghosts and vengeful spirits will enter the body through the wound, obstructing the flow of the victim's various powers.

Combined with Old Ghost's extreme attack speed, Lin Yi should have had no chance of resisting.

Unexpectedly, he was captured with ease.

Lin Yi's palm had somehow transformed into golden claws.

Not only did it catch the old ghost's attack steadily, but it also crushed the dark purple crystal wrapped in its hand into pieces with a little force.

A piercing pain surged through my entire body.

Shakyamuni's already fragile body was no match for this powerful force.

His right palm was cruelly twisted off.

Stimulated by the pain, Lao Gui subconsciously stepped back, staggering a few steps before regaining his balance and not falling down.

At that moment, he finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I told you, I want to talk to you about something. How about letting this kid go?"

Lin Yi, who was on board Wuzhiqi, pointed to his head again and asked a question.

Old Ghost is a cunning fellow. After discovering that the young man in front of him was using someone else's power, he planned to compromise first, buy time, and then find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The old man firmly believed that skills like possession by ghosts couldn't last too long and would bring considerable side effects. However, he didn't realize that Wuzhiqi's question was merely a ploy to create atmosphere.

Before he could even utter the words of compromise, a cloud of black mist wrapped around his neck and lifted him up.

Old Gui instinctively began to struggle, trying to tear at the things wrapped around his neck.

At this time, something magical happened.

Old Ghost clearly sensed that something was choking him, but when he tried to tear it off with his hands, he could only touch his own neck.

Old Ghost's terrified eyes reflected Lin Yi's approaching figure.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but couldn't bring himself to say it. So, he could only slowly raise his hand, as if trying to express something.

"I don't think I pulled out your tongue, so why are you mute?"

A black misty afterimage remained in place as Lin Yi's figure appeared before the old ghost. With a high kick, he struck the old ghost squarely on the forehead, sending him spinning backward and sliding several meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

After catching his breath, the old ghost struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with terror.

"Sir, I was unaware of your presence. Please forgive me. I do not know your name."

Begging for mercy is the only way to survive.

For Lao Gui, having already knelt before the Qin family for so long, what difference did it make who he served as a dog for?

"If you, my lord, would be so merciful as to spare my life, I will do everything in my power to revive you. My lord, my master, Qin Guang, is the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls, and he is very famous throughout the Three Realms. Over the years, I have learned many skills from my master, including a pill called the Soul Returning Pill, which can help you."

Lin You and Hei Hou, who had been stunned by the old ghost, woke up.

Their first reaction was that Lin Yi was in danger.

Upon realizing this, the two men stood up and charged forward.

Only when they reached behind Lao Gui did the two stop with peace of mind.

Seeing the old ghost crawling on the ground like a stray dog, Lin You finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even the protective shield that had been resisting the impact of the Nine Nether River dimmed a bit.

"Hehe, the boss has made a move. That makes sense. There was no need to worry. With the boss around, how many people in the Three Realms and Six Paths can hurt that kid?"

Because Wuzhiqi was in control of the body, he did not pursue immediately.

To be honest, Wuzhiqi was quite interested in the matter of resurrection.

Therefore, he decided to listen to what the old ghost had to say.

Unexpectedly, the old ghost who had been knocked to the ground suddenly sprang up, rushed to Lin You's side, grabbed her by the throat, and made Lin You stand in front of him.

"Hehehe, Lin Yi, I really didn't expect that such a terrifyingly powerful soul could be found within a mere mortal. It's truly unexpected. You really look down on me, Old Ghost. What do you take me for? How could I possibly betray my master!"

After roaring, the old ghost tightened his grip on Lin You's neck, his sharp claws piercing Lin You's fair skin, and three streams of crimson liquid flowed from Lin You's neck.

"Save her!"

"Otherwise, let me do it myself!"

Lin Yi shouted in his own consciousness space.
