Chapter 26

The dense forest was deep and dark.

Tianhuang Pavilion occupied a vast area in the inner city, so finding a quiet place for a "conversation" was naturally very simple.

The other disciples did not follow, but they were all discussing the outcome in the classroom. Of course, almost all the disciples unanimously believed that the result would only be Jiang Wei being beaten to a pulp; the only question was how badly Jiang Wei would be beaten.

"That brat Long Tao, though he looks like a monkey, is extremely ruthless when it comes to action. I wonder what the new ghost will be like after being messed with!"

"Who asked him to seek death himself!"

The disciples of Tianhuang Pavilion all had a sense of pride. They did not think that a ghost who had been in Tianhuang Pavilion for a year would be defeated by a new ghost.

...

In the dense forest, Long Tao was scrutinizing Jiang Wei with a mocking look on his face. In his view, once they entered this dense forest, everything that followed was under his control; the forest was deep, and even if one shouted until their voice was hoarse, no one would care.

Therefore, after arriving here, Long Tao became even more arrogant; he had already considered Jiang Wei as a cooked duck, and he didn't believe that a cooked duck could fly away!

However, when Long Tao's gaze fell on Jiang Wei's face, he found that Jiang Wei's expression seemed even more arrogant than his own.

"Pretty arrogant, huh!" Long Tao's face immediately turned dark. In front of Fang Siqi, Long Tao appeared meek and obedient; but in front of a weaker ghost, he was very domineering and had a strong air of leadership.

Jiang Wei did not speak, he just wanted to see what his senior brother Long would do.

"Kneel down and beg for mercy, and maybe I'll be in a good mood and go easy on you!" Long Tao sneered, "Otherwise... although I won't make you dissipate completely, dispersing most of your soul won't be a problem, and the elders won't have any objections!"

Jiang Wei's current soul concentration was more than three times that of an ordinary ghost. If most of it were dispersed, it would be reduced to just over one time that of an ordinary ghost. Although it wouldn't be difficult to recover, the pain of a damaged soul was very real!

Long Tao believed that after saying this, Jiang Wei would know what to do: "Kneel quickly, or my mood will get worse!"

But what Long Tao didn't expect was that after listening, Jiang Wei's expression did not change at all, as if he hadn't heard a word, which made Long Tao furious.

"Finished talking?" Jiang Wei asked lightly.

Long Tao was already on the verge of anger, and hearing Jiang Wei's "arrogant" words, he was even more enraged. However, before Long Tao could vent his anger, Jiang Wei made his move.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Wei's punch was not fast, nor did it seem particularly powerful, but this seemingly casual punch gave the impression of being unavoidable and unstoppable.

"Bang!"

Long Tao tried to block and dodge in a panic, but he felt that no matter how he responded, it was all in vain. This feeling was very strange, something Long Tao had never experienced before. Before he could fully react, Jiang Wei's punch had already hit his stomach.

A single uppercut sent Long Tao flying.

Strike while the iron is hot—this is a basic principle in any battle.

Jiang Wei's attack naturally wouldn't be limited to just one uppercut; in fact, this uppercut was just the first move in a series of combinations. Immediately after, Jiang Wei mercilessly unleashed a series of punches and kicks; each punch and kick had no particular technique, but under the state of insight, Jiang Wei's casual attacks were enough to make Long Tao unable to defend.

Poor Long Tao, if he had attacked first, he might have been able to hold out for a few rounds; unfortunately, he was too arrogant and assumed he was definitely stronger than Jiang Wei, leading to his inevitable tragedy.

"Boom!"

Jiang Wei ended the series of attacks with a low kick. After a series of attacks, Long Tao was beaten so badly that he couldn't even stand up.

"Anything else to say?" Jiang Wei asked lightly after finishing.

Long Tao was on the verge of tears—where did this guy come from, with a soul concentration only three times that of an ordinary ghost, how could he be so strong... Long Tao felt that his years of hard training in the ghost world were all for nothing.

But now, Long Tao had been beaten into submission and no longer dared to show any arrogance or disrespect: "Brother, I couldn't recognize your greatness... please spare me..."

This time, it was Jiang Wei's turn to sneer: "Didn't you want me to kneel and beg for mercy?"

"I dare not, I dare not, I will kneel!" Long Tao said, crawling and kneeling at Jiang Wei's feet to beg for mercy.

"Damn, such a spineless guy! I didn't even ask you to kneel, and you did it first!" Jiang Wei had no such fetish for making others kneel.

"Big brother, I was wrong, please spare me!" Long Tao's eyes were "sincere."

He was genuinely terrified; after all, when a ghost is hit, the pain directly affects the soul, and it is extremely painful! Many spineless ghosts, after being hit once, would even be incontinent.

"Spare you... not impossible..." Jiang Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone, "But you make me feel very insecure! With your spineless nature, if I let you go, you might bite me at any time!"

Long Tao was too "petty," extremely petty and without any principles; such a true petty person, though not as terrifying as a hypocrite, was undoubtedly a huge隐患 if left unchecked. Jiang Wei did not want to leave such a隐患 around, but he couldn't kill him over such a small matter.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have money?"

"Money?" Long Tao was taken aback, "What do you want?"

"What else, to rob you!" Jiang Wei sneered.

"Uh..." Long Tao immediately struggled fiercely, "No, not even a single coin!" The mention of money made Long Tao even more willing to risk his life.

"No?" Jiang Wei was immediately unhappy, "You, a disciple of Tianhuang Pavilion, would have no coins on you? Who are you trying to fool? Hurry up, hand them all over, don't make me use force again!"

"Really, I don't have any!" At this moment, Long Tao was very resolute; clearly, he believed that money was more important than principles.

"Shut up!" Jiang Wei roared, "If I strip off your ghost clothes and find money on you, I'll disperse eighty percent of your soul!"

...

After a series of threats, intimidation, and beatings, Jiang Wei successfully stripped all the ghost coins from Long Tao.

"Damn, you don't look it, but you're pretty rich!" Jiang Wei counted the ghost coins in his hand and smiled in satisfaction.

In this battle, Jiang Wei seized over a thousand ghost coins; of course, apart from the loose change, the rest were "hundred-coin bills."
