Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

Those dark eyes turned crimson at some point, so bright they seemed to bleed. He lowered his eyes and played with the golden red fire in his hands. His voice no longer had the gentleness it had in front of Xuan Changze, but instead sounded cold. His bones were chilling: "Why do you have my aura on you?"

The reason why he and Xuan Changze dispersed was because he sensed source energy similar to his own in the mist when the hungry ghosts approached, but he didn't expect that Xuan Changze would find them so quickly.

He was obviously a hungry ghost who had been cultivating for hundreds of years, but how could a young man in his twenties find his hiding address so easily?

Where did this piece of shit get his powers?

"I don't understand what you are talking about!" The hungry ghost's eyes were always staring at the beating golden red fire. He had obviously been dead for hundreds of years, but he could still feel his heart beating.

"Don't you understand? Then I'll come over and let you understand." Putting away the golden pot and red fire, Qin Yili put one hand in front of him and walked in the direction of the hungry ghost.

His unsuspecting posture made the hungry ghost feel hot in his heart.

There's still a little bit left, just a little more, just one more step forward, and he'll be able to swallow him, but -

Qin Yili, who was walking leisurely, suddenly stopped, his pure and innocent face seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Let’s go! Why don't you move forward?

The hungry ghost couldn't stop shouting in his heart, but Qin Yili didn't move. Not only that, he also stood there and straightened his clothes and hair.

The hungry ghost, whose mind was gradually taken over by greed, couldn't wait any longer. He swallowed, moved his hooked foot forward, and his hands suddenly turned into sharp claws and attacked Qin Yili.

"Boom-"

There was a loud bang on the ground, followed by the screams of hungry ghosts: "Ahhhh...hands...ahhhhhh!!!"

The two giant claws had been cut off in unison and fell flatly to the ground.

Tucking the temples behind his ears, Qin Yili disdainfully burned his two claws with gold and red fire: "Want to eat me? Even a ghost cultivator who has practiced for thousands of years would not dare to have such an idea!"

The hungry ghost only felt that his soul had been severely damaged by the slashing attack. Obviously, the physical injuries would not be reflected back to the soul.

Looking at the crawling flesh and blood on the ground, Qin Yili threw the golden red fire at the hungry ghost in disgust: "Tell me! Where does your power come from?"

"Ahhh-"

The hungry ghost, whose soul was being burned, was in unspeakable pain and said intermittently: "Yes...I got it from a jade pendant three hundred years ago. I don't know...that's your power. Please let me go." For once, the villain will no longer dare..."

Jade?

Qin Yili frowned slightly and asked coldly: "What happened three hundred years ago?" 】

The system being intimidated also looked innocent: [I don’t know! Isn't this a script written by yourself, host? Could it be true? 】

Qin Yili: [...]

There is no point in asking this idiot.

He controlled the golden red fire to make it burn more vigorously, and said with a sinister expression: "Where is the jade pendant?"

"In...in my room, but I used up all the energy in it..."

"Take me there."

The hungry ghost, who was already dying and lying on the ground, dragged his tattered body and led the way.

Qin Yili, who had calmed down his aura, became ordinary again, but this time the hungry ghost no longer dared to think of eating him. After hundreds of years of cultivation, not much was left after being burned like this. .

Soon we arrived at the room the hungry ghost was talking about.

The fishy smell inside can make people vomit even standing at the door.

Even if he is a ghost and can hold his breath without smelling it, Qin Yili does not want to wrong himself: "Go inside and take out the jade pendant."

"Yes."

"Don't play any tricks." Qin Yili smiled tenderly: "Or do you want to experience what it feels like to be roasted in red fire for three days and three nights? I guarantee that you can survive until the last moment."

Hungry ghost: "..."

"Don't dare, I'll take out the jade pendant right now."

With this shock, the hungry ghost didn't dare to delay. He quickly went in to find the jade pendant he had hidden, and then came out tremblingly: "S-Sir, this is it..."

The handless hungry ghost held it up with his arms. Worried that the blood on his body would make the jade pendant dusty, he specially wrapped it in red silk and knelt in front of him to present it.

The jade pendant is a very simple carving, hollowed out, with only an orchid on it, and the power inside has been drained out just as the hungry ghost said.

But Qin Yili could still faintly sense the remaining traces of his power from above.

He didn't move to get the jade pendant for a long time, and the hungry ghost didn't dare to move. The two ghosts just kept in this posture.

until--

Xuan Changze and Zhang Linger, who followed the traces to the lair where the hungry ghost lived, came in and saw this scene.

Zhang Linger, who was very imaginative, saw this situation and blurted out: "Brother Li, you have been proposed!"

Xuan Changze: "..."

Qin Yili: "..."

Even the hungry ghost was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

However, Qin Yili's eyes immediately followed her words and changed from his previous arrogance, showing a trembling and frightened expression: "There is no way I can agree to your proposal! Unless..."

He glanced at where Xuan Changze was standing and said in a soft and long tone: "If you can become like him, for the sake of that face, I can still consider it."

Xuan Changze: "..."

The hungry ghost didn't know what Qin Yili wanted to do, but he was afraid of being burned and subconsciously cooperated: "As long as I turn into his face, can you stop hitting me?"

Qin Yili: "..."

Xiaoba Shu laughed so hard that he hit the wall in the system space: [Hahahaha... Host, you have overturned. You can't pretend to be weak now! 】

[Are you happy with my rollover? ] Qin Yili's voice sounded extremely soft.

The little mouse that was laughing maniacally burped. Why did it feel that the host at this moment looked similar to the one when it was beating the hungry ghost just now?

No way? It's a system, how could the host be willing to hit it like that!

or? Is it better to soften it first? After all, as the best system around the host, how can it do such a thing that hinders the host?

After Xiaoba Shu completed a series of mental constructions, he realized that Qin Yili had ignored him for a long time.

unacceptable!

Xuan Changze was not fooled by their tricks. Blocked by Qin Yili's figure, he couldn't see clearly what the hungry ghost was holding, but he chose to ask directly: "What is in his hand?"

Qin Yili turned his back to the hungry ghost, his delicate and picturesque eyebrows showed a lazy and casual look: "Who knows~"

This uncooperative look made Xuan Changze frown fiercely, but he didn't say anything. He just picked up the thing in his hand and prepared to question the hungry ghost.

but--

The hungry ghost who was kneeling docilely just now suddenly threw the red silk in his hand towards Qin Yili, and his broken arm quickly turned into sharp claws and attacked him.
