If it were possible, the man truly wished he could fight to the death with that detestable fellow, You Siqi.
Alas, he was bound so tightly all over that he didn't even have the ability to struggle, let alone fight anyone to the death. He couldn't.
He couldn't even break free from his restraints, much less fight to the death. So, all he could do was glare at You Siqi through gritted teeth, conveying his anger with his eyes.
However, this approach caused no harm to You Siqi himself. After all, ever since he got together with Shen Muzhi, he had already endured similar gazes filled with accusations and anger from countless female cultivators.
He didn't mind those venomous looks.
Much less the anger now being directed at him by a mere man.
If he were to feel any fear or undue psychological impact from such a gaze, his inner defenses would be so weak that he wouldn't be able to stand it himself.
Precisely because of this, feeling the man's gaze, You Siqi yawned, finding it rather uninteresting. He tilted his chin towards the man and said, "Hey, don't look at me like that. You have nothing else to do right now, and I'm just bored. Isn't it a good thing for us to chat and pass the time? You actually see me as an enemy, which truly breaks my heart."
Because his mouth was stuffed tightly with that cloth, the man's response was merely a series of muffled "wuwu" sounds.
Although he couldn't understand what was being said, based on experience, You Siqi felt certain he was being cursed.
This friend was too volatile.
No wonder he was so pitifully friendless.
You Siqi looked at him with great sympathy, then shifted his gaze back to the battle unfolding on the side. Just as he had guessed, by the time he was chatting, the battle on that side had essentially reached its conclusion.
Liu Buli and Shen Muzhi's techniques were somewhat similar, so in just a moment, the ground was covered in lotuses of fire. Both of them controlled their strength, so even though You Siqi wasn't too far from them, the scorching heat and spiritual pressure from the lotuses did not reach his position.
This was the thoughtfulness of friends and a lover towards him, You Siqi knew very well.
His mood improved slightly, and he shifted his gaze to another area. Actually, if possible, he really wanted to learn puppet arts from Li Qingcheng and the others. Just like now, that couple was manipulating the puppets in their hands, making the ghost clan members they were fighting spin around. This was very much like a summoner in an online game, a profession You Siqi had once favored the most.
Unfortunately, his own spiritual power was so limited that manipulating puppets was practically a fantasy. At most, he could only create a few puppet dolls to keep by his side, which would be too uninteresting.
You Siqi mused about these miscellaneous thoughts, and in the end, whether he wanted to or not, his gaze eventually returned to Lu Wuming, who was fighting in the center.
Just as the man had described to him earlier, the few ghost clan members surrounding Lu Wuming seemed to use similar moves. Although their bodies were being cut and wounded, the blood that dripped down would transform into thorny weapons in their hands.
If an ordinary person were to fight them, continuing like this, the ghost clan members would have more and more weapons, and their wounds would heal quickly. The consequence of more weapons would be that the opponent's actions would become increasingly strenuous.
Unfortunately, their opponent was Lu Wuming.
Upon seeing this strange ability, Lu Wuming merely raised an eyebrow. His first thought wasn't how to deal with this technique, but rather he seriously considered if these blood thorns looked quite good, and if he learned this technique, would Liu Buli like it?
The moment the thought appeared, before Lu Wuming could even feel happy, Liu Buli, who was beside him, responded.
Glancing at the ghost clan members covered in blood thorns, Liu Buli frowned and said, "Why are they turning themselves into hedgehogs? They look truly disgusting. Wuming, hurry up and finish them. If I watch any longer, I'm worried it will affect my appetite later."
With this simple sentence, the hope that had just ignited in Lu Wuming's heart was completely extinguished.
What his Master liked, he might not necessarily like.
But what his Master disliked, he would definitely dislike.
Since that was the case, these few ghost clan members who made his Master dislike them had no reason to exist any longer.
Reaching this conclusion, Lu Wuming no longer held back. His movements were swift and decisive. In a short time, those ghost clan members were wiped out completely.
However, as per Liu Buli's request, the ghost clan member who controlled humans was kept alive.
From its appearance, it had indeed been beaten badly by Lu Wuming.
But everyone knew that ghost clan members had strong regenerative abilities, and this level of injury would not be fatal.
Maintaining this state, Liu Buli signaled Lu Wuming to restrain the opponent. Then, narrowing his eyes and smiling, he approached the ghost clan member. Liu Buli extended a hand and said, "The magical treasures you obtained here, can you hand them over to me now?"
The ghost clan member's expression was still somewhat bewildered.
It seemed unable to comprehend how they had lost to a group of humans it had always looked down upon.
However, it didn't get a chance to figure it out. Liu Buli impatiently gestured towards Lu Wuming with his chin.
Lu Wuming once again revealed his ghost claws.
The ghost clan member knew that interrogation was about to begin and quickly replied in a panic, "I'll give them to you, you can have anything you want, just give it to me, please don't torture me, okay?"
