Chapter 476: Chapter 465: Fierce Ghost
"Ah!" Ye Qiu’s ferocious face stopped in front of Chu Cheng and Song Jin, both of whom were scared into screaming out loud, simultaneously aiming their Amulets at her, which instantly emitted a blinding golden light.
At the same time, Divine Woman Liu’s Peach Wood Sword also arrived, piercing into Ye Qiu’s body, causing her massive ghostly form to flicker in and out of existence, emitting strands of black energy.
"Song Jin, Chu Cheng." Having suffered severe damage, Ye Qiu finally regained some senses, the pain from the Amulet and Peach Wood Sword twisted her face in agony.
"Hehe, Ye Qiu, go to hell." Watching Ye Qiu’s pained expression, Song Jin laughed heartily and then turned to Divine Woman Liu, "Granny Liu, why not quickly capture this evil ghost?"
Song Jin saw how easily Ye Qiu was severely injured and thought it would be very easy to eliminate her, not noticing Divine Woman Liu’s grave expression.
"You all deserve to die!" Ye Qiu’s tone was sinister, appearing as if she would kill Chu Cheng and Song Jin despite suffering great injuries.
"Go!" Divine Woman Liu controlled the Peach Wood Sword, pushing it deeper into Ye Qiu’s body.
"Ah!" The Ghost Energy emanating from Ye Qiu became even more rampant. She realized that unless she killed this divine woman, she wouldn’t be able to harm this despicable man and vile woman today.
"Evil ghost, surrender now." Seeing Ye Qiu’s ferocious gaze fixed on her, Divine Woman Liu’s forehead was covered with a dense layer of cold sweat. She knew she had met her match today, but since the ghost had a heavy presence yet an unstable foundation, it was a great opportunity to disperse it. If she allowed the ghost to recover its Ghost Energy, she would surely be no match for it. Didn’t the Song Family’s girl say this ghost had only died three months ago? How could it be so formidable?
"You all go to die!" Ye Qiu turned her head and, with claws bared, pounced toward Divine Woman Liu.
"Evil ghost, still trying to do evil." Divine Woman Liu hastened her actions, a series of talismans struck Ye Qiu’s body.
"Red lines." She reminded Chu Cheng and Song Jin, and the three of them pulled out three red lines, taking the opportunity to trap Ye Qiu inside.
"Ah!" Ye Qiu let out a pained scream within the red lines, while Chu Cheng turned his head away, unable to bear it.
"You’re feeling pity now? Can’t you see whether Ye Qiu in this state is still your wife? Isn’t she like this because of you? What are you afraid of?" Song Jin looked at Chu Cheng with sarcasm.
"What nonsense are you spouting at this time?" Chu Cheng replied with an ugly expression.
"Ye Qiu!" At the critical moment, Meng Huai arrived.
"Here comes another one." Divine Woman Liu’s expression turned heavy. She quickly tied the red lines into a knot and tossed a string of talismans to Chu Cheng and Song Jin, then brandished her sword to attack Meng Huai.
"Granny Liu, what should we do now? We’re about to lose control." Song Jin threw all the talismans she had in hand at Ye Qiu, causing massive damage, but after throwing them all and seeing Ye Qiu not yet turning to ash, she became anxious.
"Ye Qiu, save me, if you don’t come soon I’ll be turned to ash." Meng Huai clearly couldn’t hold his own against Divine Woman Liu and was almost at his limit.
Hearing his plea, Ye Qiu struggled more violently, enduring the burning pain as she tore the red lines apart.
"This is bad." Chu Cheng and Song Jin’s faces changed drastically, retreating several steps.
But Ye Qiu didn’t pounce on them; instead, she turned to rescue Meng Huai.
With Divine Woman Liu facing two ghosts alone, the pressure on her increased dramatically.
"Why aren’t you coming over to help?" Divine Woman Liu clenched her teeth and glared at Chu Cheng and Song Jin, then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Chu Cheng and Song Jin hurried over, one holding an Eight Diagrams Mirror, the other holding the Soul Summoning Bell that Divine Woman Liu had dropped on the ground, aiming them at Ye Qiu and Meng Huai.
"Ah!" Ye Qiu and Meng Huai’s heads throbbed with pain, their forms nearly collapsing.
Ye Qiu gritted her teeth and dashed towards Song Jin, closest to her, ignoring the damage the amulet was inflicting on her, as a thick Ghost Energy entangled her.
"Save me, Granny Liu, save me..." Song Jin struggled to speak, feeling death coming so close for the first time.
"My baby, my baby..." Seeing her clutching her stomach in agony, Chu Cheng became frantic.
"Granny Liu, I’ll add another two hundred thousand, quickly exterminate them," he shouted loudly.
"A child? You’re pregnant? Ho ho..." Ye Qiu laughed sinisterly, "You treated Xiao Ran like that, and you still want a child?" As she finished speaking, a wave of Yin Qi surged towards Song Jin’s abdomen.
"Save me, my baby..." With a pain-wrought bend of her waist, blood pooled from beneath Song Jin.
"Hasten, as my command, seal!" Divine Woman Liu struck Ye Qiu with a yellow talisman, instantly dispersing much of the Ghost Energy surrounding her, but Divine Woman Liu’s face turned extremely pale, her already withered face looking as if it might snuff out imminently.
"Ye Qiu." Meng Huai watched helplessly as Ye Qiu was consumed by the burning yellow talisman, employing Ghost Energy to throw scattered objects towards Divine Woman Liu.
"Pugh!" Already gravely injured, Divine Woman Liu was struck down by tables and chairs, unable to dodge in time.
At this moment, Chu Cheng arrived, holding the Eight Diagrams Mirror, his face showing a ruthless expression, void of any previous reluctance.
"Go!" Meng Huai, teeth clenched, ignored the damage from the yellow talisman, whisking away Ye Qiu with a gust of wind to escape.
"An ambulance, Chu Cheng, call an ambulance quickly," Song Jin pleaded in pain, clutching her stomach.
He carried Song Jin and ran out of the villa, not bothering about Divine Woman Liu crushed under the furniture. In his mind, Divine Woman Liu being so capable would surely be alright, failing to anticipate that she had already exhausted her last breath, just barely hanging on, her frail and elderly body unable to withstand the weight of solid wood furniture. She stared with wide-open eyes as Chu Cheng carried Song Jin out, dying with eyes untranquil.
"Doctor, how is it?" As the emergency room light went out, Chu Cheng asked hurriedly.
"The adult is not in any significant danger, but the child was not saved," the emergency doctor shook his head in regret.
Upon hearing this, Chu Cheng collapsed onto a seat. When Song Jin was wheeled out, he immediately had no time to grieve.
However, today’s event hadn’t ended, for the commotion at his home had drawn the attention of the community security, and with a great mess inside the villa and both owners absent and four others inside, the security, shocked, called the police.
"Captain Ling, a person is dead, preliminary judgment is that she was crushed by furniture, but she seems to have sustained internal injuries before death; the exact circumstances can only be determined after an autopsy," the forensic told Ling Xiao after the examination.
"The owners of this house are called Chu Cheng and Song Jin, they just moved here," the security was also providing basic information to the police.
"Chu Cheng, Song Jin?" Ling Xiao furrowed his brow.
"What, do you know these two?" Doctor Xiao asked curiously.
"If it’s not a case of mistaken identity, they are Xiao Ran’s father and stepmother," Captain Ling explained gravely, his expression doubtful as he looked at the ritual altar set up in the house.
"This is Xiao Ran’s home?" Doctor Xiao was startled, recalling the pitiful child, then asked, "So what were they trying to do with this altar?"
Ling Xiao’s eyes deepened: "That’s what I’d like to know."
