Chapter 67

"Ha ha ha ha!" Lu Yunkuang laughed heartily, his sharp sword already mercilessly slashing down.

"No!!!"

Jiang Wei was still shouting in despair, but suddenly, his cry came to an abrupt stop.

"What's going on?" Jiang Wei was surprised to see that Lu Yunkuang's powerful slash did not hit Er Dan but instead cut through the air beside him.

"Boom!"

The sword's energy sliced the ground, creating a deep gash several feet deep.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but think, "Damn, his aim is really that bad..." Er Dan was right in front of Lu Yunkuang, within arm's reach, yet Lu Yunkuang's sword had missed!

After a brief moment of shock, Er Dan quickly reacted: "I'm not dead?" Realizing he was still alive, Er Dan scrambled to Lin Nianluo's side. Er Dan wasn't stupid; he knew it was much safer to be by Lin Nianluo's side than by Jiang Wei's—after all, Lin Nianluo had come specifically to oversee the situation.

"Phew..." Seeing his friends successfully hide behind Lin Nianluo, Jiang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Hao, Er Dan, and Tu Xiaodao were all his good brothers; especially Li Hao and Er Dan, if any of them were to die, Jiang Wei couldn't imagine how he would feel—fortunately, they were safe now!

At this moment, Lu Yunkuang finally came to his senses: "I... I missed?" Lu Yunkuang looked at his sword in disbelief, then at the deep gash on the ground.

"No!" Lu Yunkuang shook his head frantically. "I clearly saw that sword hit the dog and instantly kill it—how could this be!?" But now, Lu Yunkuang clearly saw that the dog, Er Dan, was still alive and well.

How could what he saw just now and what he saw now be so different?

Suddenly, Lu Yunkuang cast a terrified glance at Lin Nianluo: "Senior Sister, was it you?..."

Lu Yunkuang suddenly remembered that Senior Sister Lin Nianluo seemed to be skilled in illusion attacks! However, he had only heard about it from others and had never seen it in action, so he didn't know if it was true. Moreover, illusion attacks were extremely rare, so he didn't realize that he had been hit by one just now.

"Without even knowing what happened, I was hit by an illusion attack?" Lu Yunkuang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, a wave of fear washing over him—Lin Nianluo was too terrifying; he didn't even see her move, and he was already hit by an illusion attack...

This made Lu Yunkuang realize that if he ever offended Lin Nianluo, he might not even know how he died!

At this moment, Jiang Wei also realized: "Did Senior Sister use an illusion attack just now?" Elder Bai had once mentioned to Jiang Wei that in the entire Original Sin City, only two people could use illusion attacks: Elder Bai himself and Lin Nianluo.

Jiang Wei also felt a wave of fear, because even with his Insight Realm perception, he hadn't noticed any signs of Lin Nianluo's attack; yet, the facts proved that Lin Nianluo had definitely attacked—otherwise, Er Dan would already be dead!

Among all the ghosts present, only Jiang Wei and Lu Yunkuang realized that Lin Nianluo had attacked; the others were completely clueless, not knowing what had happened!

"Senior Brother Lu, why didn't you kill that dog?"

"Senior Brother Lu, did you deliberately show mercy?"

The four young ghosts asked in confusion. They could see that if Lu Yunkuang's sword had hit, it would have instantly killed the dog; but for some reason, Lu Yunkuang had missed—after much thought, they concluded that he had shown mercy.

Show mercy my ass!

Lu Yunkuang ignored the four young ghosts and looked forward to Lin Nianluo's response. In that split second, his respect for Lin Nianluo had increased several times over.

Lin Nianluo didn't answer Lu Yunkuang's question but said coolly, "That's enough for today!"

"Enough for today?" How could Lu Yunkuang be satisfied with that?

After all, using a forbidden technique came at a great cost; once the effects wore off, Lu Yunkuang's soul strength would likely decrease by half, from a hundredfold to fiftyfold!—After paying such a high price, how could Lu Yunkuang be content to let Jiang Wei go just because of Lin Nianluo's words?

But what else could he do?—Dare he defy Lin Nianluo's wishes? No! Dare he kill ghosts under Lin Nianluo's watchful eye? No! Could he catch up to Jiang Wei? No!

In that case, stopping immediately was actually the best choice for Lu Yunkuang! So, even though he was reluctant, Lu Yunkuang understood that he had to stop!

"Fine, that's enough for today!" Lu Yunkuang agreed readily.

With that, Lu Yunkuang prepared to leave the scene with his four subordinates—now was the time to go, or wait until the effects of the forbidden technique wore off and be humiliated by Jiang Wei?

"Leave?" Jiang Wei spoke up. "You can leave, but leave the goods behind!" Jiang Wei was referring to the dowry, of course.

Taking what he could, that was Jiang Wei's usual style. Now, the most valuable thing in Lu Yunkuang's possession was undoubtedly that box of dowry.

"These are Senior Brother's things!" Lu Yunkuang said.

"I'm taking his things!" Jiang Wei said without hesitation. "Leave the goods, and you can go; otherwise, you stay too!"

Originally, Jiang Wei was determined to kill Lu Yunkuang, but when Er Dan almost died, Jiang Wei suddenly realized—don't go for a complete kill!

At least in public, don't do a complete kill!

If he killed Lu Yunkuang and the others today, he would inevitably make enemies with their relatives and friends. Although Elder Bai had clearly said that Jiang Wei could cause trouble and he would help clean up the mess, and with Jiang Wei's strength, self-preservation wasn't difficult—Li Hao, Er Dan, and the others would be in danger!

Jiang Wei didn't want to involve his brothers because of his own impulsiveness.

So, after realizing this, Jiang Wei no longer planned to go for a complete kill—if he had to kill, he would do it secretly, without other ghosts seeing!

Originally, Jiang Wei wanted to kill and take the goods, but now, although he wouldn't kill, he would still take the goods!

Lu Yunkuang gritted his teeth: "If you want it, take it! But I'll warn you, don't be too arrogant as a ghost; Senior Brother will definitely not let you off! Hmph!"

"I'm waiting for him!" Jiang Wei had no intention of making amends with Senior Brother Fang Siqi; if not for his limited strength, Jiang Wei would have even attacked him directly.
