Chapter 96

At the City God's Mansion, the Hanlin Academy, and the Star Plucking Tower.

"Master, you can really see it!" the book boy said in surprise, holding a telescope made by Li Hanlin, clearly seeing the distant Su Xing.

"How about that? I was right to build a tall building, wasn't I? From here, you can see most of the City God's Mansion," Li Hanlin said proudly, also holding a homemade telescope, gazing at Su Xing.

"I never thought that Su Xing, a mere ghost servant, would be so powerful, capable of defeating many other ghost servants," the book boy said, his eyes fixed on Su Xing as he knocked down another batch of ghost servants, his expression excited.

"He is far more powerful than you think. I suspect Wenji will have to send out the ghost servants from the West Garden," Li Hanlin said, adjusting the focus of his telescope and turning it towards the West Garden. In the round lens, a cluster of flowers bloomed, and a series of ghostly figures darted out, elusive and mysterious.

"What! The Fourth Miss actually sent out the ghost servants?!" The book boy was suddenly shocked, taking off the telescope and looking at Li Hanlin, who had a calm expression.

"Ha ha, so I told you you underestimated Su Xing. Come, let me show you," Li Hanlin said with a smile, also taking off the telescope and putting it into the bookshelf the book boy was carrying.

Speaking of Su Xing, after knocking down wave after wave of ghost servants, he was steadily approaching the Bai Xue Courtyard.

"Whoosh"

A gust of wind lifted the withered leaves, which turned to dust in mid-air. Su Xing suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious. He had entered a small forest, where withered leaves rustled down, revealing an eerie and abnormal atmosphere.

"Is this near the Bai Xue Courtyard?" Su Xing frowned, sensing that the recent gust of cold wind was not right, carrying a hint of killing intent, like a cold, bone-chilling wind.

"Whoosh"

A flash of cold light passed by, and Su Xing's eyes moved. His head suddenly turned, and with a thud, a dart embedded itself in the tree trunk behind him.

"Come out!" Su Xing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he shouted.

"Rustle, rustle"

The loud sound shook the forest, causing withered leaves to fall. Among the flying yellow leaves, a black-clad ghost slowly emerged.

"It's you!" Su Xing's pupils constricted, and he said with a sneer, "Just a defeated opponent, and you dare to come out to die!"

"Hmph!" The black-clad ghost snorted. Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the trees behind Su Xing's left side, and his ears twitched.

Before he could react, another black-clad ghost appeared from behind the trees, holding a sharp dagger, and lunged at Su Xing's back. However, Su Xing immediately sensed it, reached into his ghost pocket, and pulled out a butcher's knife, slashing back.

"Bang"

Wood chips flew from the tree, and the withered tree trunk collapsed with a loud noise, but the black-clad ghost who tried to assassinate Su Xing disappeared.

"Second one..." Su Xing's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, watching the second black-clad ghost retreat and merge into another tree.

At that moment, another attack came. Su Xing suddenly ducked, stomped his foot, and leaped up.

"Whoosh"

The pile of withered leaves under Su Xing's feet suddenly rose, and a ghostly figure flew out, holding a large knife, closely following Su Xing, trying to split him in two.

"Thud"

Su Xing's body nimbly flipped in the air, and his legs kicked against a tree, transforming him into a sharp arrow. He raised his butcher's knife and slashed at the third ghostly figure.

"Clang"

The large knives met in mid-air, metal clashing, sparks flying. The ghostly figure seemed unable to withstand Su Xing's strength and was slammed into the ground, then disappeared.

"Fourth one." Su Xing's face turned completely dark, and he became extremely cautious.

The three black-clad ghosts were clearly trained in strict assassination techniques, and their strength was formidable, not to be underestimated.

"Finally come to silence me," Su Xing said with a cold laugh. "Come on, all of you. I will leave one of you alive and force you to reveal the mastermind."

"Kill!"

The black-clad ghosts did not argue with Su Xing and attacked directly.

"Whoosh, whoosh"

Darts flew like meteors, forming a steel rain that enveloped Su Xing.

Su Xing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took a step back.

Suddenly, the withered leaves split open, and two large knives flashed, crossing to form a steel scissor, shredding a large area of withered leaves.

"Click, click..."

The steel scissor continued to attack, leaving Su Xing no time to deal with the rain of darts from above.

"Looking for death, come out from underground!" Su Xing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and suddenly, a red sea of fire burst from his left eye, burning the ground.

"Whoosh" The withered leaves on the ground immediately caught fire, turning into a sea of flames, and the underground echoed with惨叫声.

"Hmph!" Su Xing stood calmly in the sea of fire, surrounded by raging flames, like a giant demon.

Su Xing raised his knife and swung it, a black blade of light spewing out, like a rainbow, melting the rain of darts into molten iron in the ground fire.

The black-clad ghost who threw the darts' eyes flashed, seeing the situation was bad, and turned to run.

"Want to run? No way!" Su Xing roared, kicked off with his back leg, and swiftly chased the black-clad ghost, placing his butcher's knife on the ghost's neck.

"Die!"

The black-clad ghost's eyes turned cold, and he smiled coldly.

At that moment, a blur appeared in the trees beside him, and a dagger like a venomous snake bit towards Su Xing's neck.

But Su Xing had already anticipated this trap and had been paying attention to the black-clad ghost hiding in the trees.

"Rip" Su Xing's other hand appeared with a large sword, sweeping across, cutting the black-clad ghost and the tree in half.

"Speak! Who is the murderer of Dongmei!" Su Xing glared and demanded.

"You will never know!" The black-clad ghost sneered, "Just a mere ghost servant, daring to meddle in this matter, you will die!"

"You can go to hell!" Su Xing showed no mercy, and his butcher's knife fell, splitting the black-clad ghost in two.

"Even if you don't speak, I can guess. The murderer is in the Bai Xue Courtyard, probably the master of the Bai Xue Courtyard. Now I don't need to go to the Bai Xue Courtyard to find Shen Shi; he has probably already been silenced." Su Xing muttered to himself, his left eye flashing, and with a whoosh, the sea of fire was drawn back into his left eye, disappearing.

Su Xing scanned the charred forest, shook his head, and said, "This is troublesome. Although I know who the murderer is, there is no evidence. Even if I explain to Li Wenji, she probably won't believe me. I need to clear my name."

Just as Su Xing was about to leave, a kilometer away in the Bai Xue Courtyard, a reflective mirror flashed, and a large bullet shot out from the dark barrel, spinning like a mysterious black dragon towards Su Xing's head!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the Golden-Eyed Crimson-Blood Dragon on Su Xing's body awoke, let out a long cry, and extended its dragon claws from the Tang suit, suddenly grabbing the bullet!

"Clang"

The large bullet was intercepted by the Golden-Eyed Crimson-Blood Dragon, the hard metal head colliding with the dragon's iron-like claws, deforming instantly.

"Roar!"

The Golden-Eyed Crimson-Blood Dragon clenched its claws, and the bullet was immediately crushed into powder, then it fell back asleep.

"Sniper?!" Su Xing's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head, his eyes glowing, the scenery rapidly receding, seeing a black-clad ghost crouching in a pavilion, a heavy Barrett sniper rifle in front of him!

"Trying to ambush me?" Su Xing's lips curled, and he took a white, bright thigh bone from his ghost pocket. The nine force soul wheels, nine essence soul wheels, and nine essence soul wheels in his soul began to spin!

Suddenly, an invisible, terrifying aura erupted, like a prehistoric beast awakening from sleep, his spirit reaching its peak.

"What is he doing?" The sniper, seeing that his shot missed, cursed and prepared to retreat, but was suddenly stunned by Su Xing taking out a white, bone-like thigh bone.

"Boom"

Su Xing suddenly threw the white bone, the immense force causing the surrounding air to vibrate. The bone shot out at supersonic speed, disappearing in mid-air.

"Good thing this beast's thigh bone is strong enough." Su Xing didn't even look, shrugged his shoulders, and prepared to leave. As he turned, a loud explosion echoed from a kilometer away, and the pavilion was blown to pieces. The poor sniper, along with his Barrett, was probably reduced to ashes.

"What's happening?"

A young master, admiring the plum blossoms, was suddenly startled, turned his head, and saw snow flying, the pavilion's roof suddenly flying out, wooden pieces scattering, and the building behind it being hit, causing a chain reaction.

"What's happening?" The young master's face turned completely dark, and in the beautiful icy and snowy world, thick smoke rose, ruining the scenery.

"I hope there is a reasonable explanation!"

"Master." A ghost servant immediately ran over to answer the young master's question.

"An unknown explosion just occurred, and we are investigating!"

"What? An explosion! Why did it happen?! Is it a provocation from another courtyard?" The young master was furious.

"Master, we will investigate immediately!" The ghost servant answered and quickly ran away before the young master could fly into a rage.

A short while later, the ghost servant ran out again, holding a broken bone, looking troubled.

"How is it? Have you found out?" The young master asked.

"Y-Yes, Master, we have found out." The ghost servant stammered.

"Speak quickly!" The young master glared and kicked the ghost servant.

"Yes, Master, it's because of this bone." The ghost servant trembled and extended the broken bone.

"Is there a bomb inside this bone?" The young master curiously examined the bone in the ghost servant's hand.

"No." The ghost servant's heart raced, answering cautiously.

"Is it a ghost weapon?" The young master became even more curious, picking up the bone and examining it closely.

"Ahh!" The ghost servant suddenly knelt down, trembling with fear.

"Is it going to explode, or does it have some strange property?" The young master said impatiently.

"R-Reply, Master, no, this bone has no strange properties. It is not a ghost weapon, and there is no bomb inside. It is just an ordinary bone."

The ghost servant trembled as he answered.

"What? What!" The young master was stunned, immediately grabbed the bone, and hit the ghost servant's forehead, cursing, "Damn, it's just an ordinary bone, trying to fool me!"
