Chapter 97

After effortlessly crushing four black-clothed assassins, Su Xing was not happy. He walked forward with heavy steps, his mind racing as he thought about how to uncover the murderer of Bai Xueyuan, clear his name, and resolve Li Wenji's misunderstanding of him.

"This is just asking for trouble!" Su Xing was somewhat annoyed. If he had known, he wouldn't have gone to see Dongmei and would have stayed in the food area, drinking and eating meat, living a carefree life.

Just as Su Xing was sighing and regretting, several ghost servants walked towards him.

"Are you Su Xing?" the leading ghost servant asked.

"I am who I am, the one and only Su Sir!" Su Xing looked up, seeing the ghost servants, feeling more annoyed than flies, and said impatiently, "Are you annoying me? If you can't do anything, don't keep bothering me. Be careful, or Su Sir will send you flying into the sky."

"Is that so?"

The leading ghost servant's eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward, suddenly appearing in front of Su Xing and punching him in the stomach.

"Bang"

Su Xing's eyes bulged, his body bent like a bow, and he was thrown back, crashing into a tree trunk.

"Cough, cough." Su Xing held his stomach, leaning on the broken tree trunk to stand up, coughed dryly, and re-evaluated the ghost servants in front of him.

They were clearly different from the previous ghost servants, each wearing shiny armor and carrying large knives at their waists.

"Who are you?" Su Xing became serious, straightening his body and asking.

"West Garden Guard Ghost Servants, Squad Ten!" The leading ghost servant lifted his chin, speaking arrogantly. They didn't need to hide, as this was their pride!

"Guard Ghost Servants? What a hassle. It seems Li Wenji is determined to think I'm the murderer of Dongmei. This is a headache!" Su Xing rubbed his temples and said with a bitter smile.

"Ridiculous, to dare call the master's name directly, you deserve to be executed!" The guard ghost servant scolded, and they immediately surrounded Su Xing.

"What's wrong with calling a name? Your master is disobedient; I'll have to spank her little bottom later." Su Xing pouted, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to get serious.

"He is too despicable, let's burn him directly!" a guard ghost servant suggested.

"Um... Okay!" The leading guard ghost servant thought for a moment and agreed.

"Okay!" The guard ghost servants shouted in unison, releasing their aura to suppress Su Xing.

Su Xing remained expressionless, standing firm!

"Form the seal!" the leading guard ghost servant commanded.

Instantly, the guard ghost servants surrounding Su Xing all formed the seal, emitting a terrifying aura, with heat waves rolling, causing the surrounding plants to curl their leaves, showing signs of scorching.

"This is..." Su Xing showed a strange expression, forming the seal as well.

"Huh?" A guard ghost servant showed a strange expression; the seal Su Xing formed was the same as theirs.

"Don't be distracted, be careful not to fall for his trick!" the leading guard ghost servant immediately scolded.

"Change, switch the seal!" the guard ghost servant commanded.

"Change, switch the seal!" the other ghost servants shouted in unison, forming the perfect seal and placing it in front of their lower abdomen.

"Fire Plow!"

"Fire Plow!"

The guard ghost servants shouted, and instantly, the heat waves reached their peak. With a "pu" sound, a bright red hellfire spurted from their perfect seals, instantly engulfing Su Xing!

These guard ghost servants had all cultivated the "Eighteen Nili Sutra" and mastered the "Fire Plow" technique, one of the three major ghost techniques recorded in it, which had always been effective in trapping and killing enemies!

However, it was unfortunate that they encountered Su Xing this time!

"Fire Plow!" Su Xing suddenly sat in the sea of fire, looking solemn, his tongue touching the roof of his mouth, like a thunderclap in his mouth.

With a "splash" sound, a scroll suddenly appeared behind Su Xing's head, constructed from pure thoughts, showing a sea of fire, the eighth layer of Fire Plow, emitting a faint light, suppressing the surrounding hellfire from burning Su Xing's ghost body!

"Oh!"

"What's happening!"

"Increase the heat!"

A group of guard ghost servants increased their efforts, their cultivation reaching the first level of ghost officials, possessing ghost essence, which was very substantial.

"Boom"

The hellfire surged again, the center becoming a sea of fire, completely engulfing Su Xing.

"Retreat!"

The Fire Plow scroll wrapped around Su Xing, and he spoke again, his black pupils flashing with a red glow, with a vortex of hellfire forming inside, gradually absorbing the hellfire from the raging sea of fire, using it for himself.

"I didn't expect you to be so generous, sending me hellfire. This saves me the trouble of extracting it from the hell beneath my feet. At this rate, it won't be long before I reach the level of the old servant's Fire Plow." Su Xing laughed inwardly, muttering to himself, not looking like he was in a sea of Fire Plow, with his ghost body being burned by hellfire.

"How can there still be a voice in the Fire Plow? Increase the heat!"

"The heat is already very high, we are all struggling."

"This is really a ghostly phenomenon. Normally, such a fire would have burned even second or third-level ghost officials to ashes. How can there still be a voice inside?"

"Bullshit, what ghostly phenomenon! We are ghosts! Let's put in more effort!"

Su Xing almost laughed out loud in the Fire Plow. He was originally worried that the guard ghost servants would stop using the Fire Plow technique, but unexpectedly, they increased its power, so he hurried to absorb it.

"Boom," "Boom"...

The hellfire burned fiercely, but it failed to burn Su Xing successfully, and the Fire Plow gradually shrank.

"Put in more effort, use the strength you use on female ghosts!" the leading guard ghost servant panted, almost unable to continue.

"Captain, why are you lying down!" a guard ghost servant called out.

"Which eye saw me lying down!" the captain scolded.

"Both eyes saw it!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Captain, all my seven orifices saw it!"

Instantly, a group of guard ghost servants called out.

"Damn, I just realized I fell down?!" the captain shouted.

"..."

Put in more effort, just a little more! Su Xing thought, the Fire Plow scroll suddenly enlarged, its aura mimicking the Fire Plow, a sea of fire hell opening up. Instantly, the guard ghost servants screamed, thinking they had fallen into the eighth layer of Fire Plow, but it was just an illusion caused by Su Xing's aura.

"Retreat!"

Su Xing's left eye glowed, a red mist spurted out, like a tidal wave, engulfing the surrounding sea of fire. With a "whoosh," the hellfire rose, forming fire dragons that actively drilled into the red vortex in Su Xing's left eye.

"Whoosh"

Su Xing's left eyelid suddenly twitched, a drop of blood-like fluid, similar to lava, flowed from the corner of his eye.

"What's going on?"

"Fire ghost?"

The guard ghost servants were stunned, their mouths wide enough to fit several ostrich eggs, it was too shocking and terrifying. They even suspected that Su Xing was a ghost at the ghost official level.

"A bit too much." Su Xing covered his left eye, muttering to himself. His left eye had absorbed too much hellfire and now dared not open.

"Hey, now make way for Su Sir!" Su Xing took advantage of their dazed state, sternly commanding, and took the opportunity to escape.

Su Xing strutted over the bodies of the guard ghost servants, patted his buttocks, and strutted away.

"Captain, do you understand what happened?" the captain was exhausted, lying on the ground, and asked with difficulty.

"Don't know?" the other guard ghost servants shook their heads.

"Damn, get up! If he escapes, the master will torture us to death when we return!" the captain suddenly realized, cursed, and drew his sword to chase after.

The other guard ghost servants immediately got up and followed the captain to chase after.

As they ran, a group of guard ghost servants saw a small book boy carrying a bookshelf and a refined scholar walking towards them leisurely.

"Sir, have you seen a ghost servant wearing a black robe with golden dragons?" the captain recognized the refined scholar as Li Hanlin and knew his preference for being called "sir," so he asked respectfully.

"Oh, I did see the ghost you mentioned, he was quite noticeable. Book boy, do you remember which way he went?" Li Hanlin lowered his head and asked the small book boy.

The small book boy held his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and answered, "Sir, I remember he went that way!"

"That way, he went that way!" Li Hanlin pointed and said.

The captain looked in the direction Li Hanlin pointed, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed, saying, "Thank you, sir, for showing the way!"

"No problem, no problem, it was the book boy who pointed it out. If there's anything, just find him." Li Hanlin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Sir..." For some reason, the book boy's body stiffened when he heard Li Hanlin's words.

The captain naturally didn't understand the implications and continued, "We'll be going now!"

Saying this, a group of guard ghost servants hurriedly left, following the direction indicated by the book boy to chase after Su Xing.

After the guard ghost servants left, Li Hanlin suddenly said, "Su brother, come out, they're gone!"

At this moment, a figure darted out from the nearby bushes, wearing a black robe with golden dragons, it was Su Xing.

"Thank you, Li brother!" Su Xing bowed to Li Hanlin, expressing his gratitude.

"No problem, it was just a small favor." Li Hanlin smiled modestly, a bit shy.

"Ha, not at all. For Li brother, it might be a small favor, but for me, it was a big help." Su Xing said, indeed, his current state was poor, having been attacked continuously, both his ghost qi and strength were greatly depleted, and he didn't want to clash with a group of guard ghost servants at the first level of ghost officials.

"Unfortunately, I have urgent matters now, otherwise, I would really like to drink and swear brotherhood with you!" Su Xing said with regret.

"Indeed, when I met Su brother at the Bai residence, it was love at first sight!" Li Hanlin said, patting Su Xing's shoulder, looking like he regretted not meeting him sooner.

"Alright, once I resolve my current issues, I'll find you to swear brotherhood!" Su Xing said firmly, looked up, and then said, "I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"

Saying this, Su Xing identified the direction and ran towards the West Garden.

The book boy and Li Hanlin watched Su Xing's disappearing figure from a distance, silent.

"Sir, I just realized how devious you are!" the book boy finally said after a while.

"Where? I am very kind and pure!" Li Hanlin shook his head and said firmly.

"Ha, no way!" the small book boy muttered.

"What did you say, looking for a beating!" Li Hanlin immediately glared.

"No, no." The book boy immediately shook his head, thought for a moment, and asked, "Sir, should we continue following Su Xing?"

"No need, let's just go to Bai Xueyuan for a walk." Li Hanlin said.

"But..."

"Relax, I've already left a mark on Su Xing. His movements are all under my control." Li Hanlin said with a smile.
