495: Can't Escape

Rui beasts had no offensive capabilities and had to rely on their skill for boundary formations to protect themselves. It was their strongest method of protection. Whenever danger presented itself, they simply used that power to block out the danger, or if they had to, they could pass through an enchantment set by others.

However, it was an ability limited to their personal use and couldn’t be transferred to anyone else. If Rui Baby could have taken Feng Wu out, he would have already done so.

He had been wrong earlier too. He never expected such a powerful spirit to form in the place. Everyone there together wouldn’t be able even scratch the spirit.

He passed through the boundary barrier and went to the spiritual world right after telling Feng Wu to take care of herself.

“Oh? Something broke through my barrier? What is this little thing?”

Though the little girl was called a big boss by Rui Baby, she was still just a child and didn’t know a whole lot. She died too young to have learned much about the world; so understandably, she didn’t know about the famous rui beasts.

The other people there didn’t know what she was talking about, but they didn’t dare underestimate her just because she was a little girl. They held up their weapons in front of them as if they were facing a big enemy.

The dangerous aura from the child was so strong that even Zi Cheng couldn’t ignore it. She went with her gut and took the plunge; but seeing the exchange cost nearly made her vomit blood. It didn’t matter though, she had to do it, so she grit her teeth and purchased the boundary breaker talisman, which cost so much it would have made anyone buying it cry.

Distressed though she was, Zi Cheng carefully put the talisman away. She would use it as soon as the preparations were done.

Ai Lin, who was secretly watching Zi Cheng, immediately saw the relieved look on Zi Cheng’s face. She suspected Zi Cheng had just purchased the talisman for self-defense.

It looked like the key to getting out was on Zi Cheng’s body.

Ai Lin secretly winked at Zo to tell him to pay attention to Zi Cheng so he wouldn’t miss his chance.

As for everyone else, it would depend on how lucky they were. She couldn’t very well run out and exclaim Zi Cheng had a way out. Let’s everyone keep an eye on her. People would think she was crazy!

Zo understood Ai Lin’s message and nodded slightly to show he would pay close attention to Zi Cheng.

“Can you play with me? I’ve lived here so long and no one ever plays with me. You can stay and play with me.” The little girl clapped her hands excitedly, as though she was really looking forward to playing with them.

Yaoyue shook her head and rejected the proposal. “No, we still have things to do. Can you let us leave? We’d be very grateful if you could.”

The little girl looked at the others after hearing Yaoyue’s answer. “What about the rest of you? Don’t you want to stay and play with me?” Her voice sounded so lost.

It seemed cruel to make a child so sad, but who there had time to be moved? Besides, it wasn’t like she was a child – she was a terrible spirit!

They all shook their heads, letting her know they did not want to stay.

Her little smile disappeared and her small face became gloomy and scary.

“If you don’t want to play with me, then you can all just die; then once you die, you can stay with me forever, just like everyone else.”

She gave a cute smile, but to everyone there, it looked quite sinister.

“Fuck you, you rotten girl! Let’s see if you have the ability to kill me!” A knife wielding adventurer rushed up to her.

She disappeared and reappeared behind him before he could even touch her with his knife.

“I caught you. Now you’ll have to stay with me.” She patted him on the shoulder, and within seconds, he turned into an ice sculpture.

He died. He died so easily.

She hadn’t even done anything other than tap him lightly with that tiny hand of hers that didn’t look menacing in anyway. And he died without a chance to even scream.

They shuddered. What kind of insane strength was this?! To be able to reach this kind of height.

The crowd took a collective step back, any idea of attacking vanished. The only thing on their mind was how to escape.

Yaoyue took several steps back as her heart went cold. Such strength was rare and it was her first time seeing a spirit so powerful. For an undead to have more strength than a human, that was hard to do and must have taken an unimaginable amount of time.

The fact she cultivated so much strength in only a thousand years meant she had to have been born with a body naturally inclined toward spiritual phenomena, the most suitable physique to become a spirit cultivator.

Getting a spirit like her would make anyone stronger. Yaoyue would have been so excited if she had met the girl when the girl was still weak. Unfortunately they met at the wrong time. This little spirit already had the strength to kill everyone present.

Never mind forming a contract, it was questionable if she could even escape.

Yaoyue smiled bitterly in her heart. She couldn’t encounter a spirit when she wanted to meet one, but now that she did, she wasn’t sure if she would live through the experience. How could she not be bitter?

She had a hunch none of them were going to make it. Even all of them together wouldn’t be a worthy adversary to the little girl.

“It’s your turn. Stay here with me too.” The little girl clapped her hands and turned around to look at everyone with a smile.

“Run!” Those who didn’t have the guts to fight her ran. They forgot though, it didn’t matter where they went, they wouldn’t be able to escape the ancient mansion which was like a huge cage locked in by the rain.
