Please, Young Master, Slay the Demon!-Chapter 27 - Slaughter _1

Chapter 27 -27: Slaughter _1

The wind was cold, and the ghostly shadows were dense.

The deceased woman stood before him once again.

However, Li Jue strangely didn’t feel afraid facing all of this. Perhaps death or ghosts, neither could compare to the torture buried deep in his heart.

The ghost transformed from Situ Yan finally spoke in a subdued voice.

“I don’t hate you, and I can’t kill you.” Her voice was chilling, seemingly coming from the underworld.

“I…..” Li Jue stared at her, unable to speak, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, Situ Yan shouted anxiously, “You need to leave, now!”

“What’s wrong with you?” Li Jue was startled and seemed stunned, remaining seated on the ground, unable to retreat.

“Ah——”

Situ Yan tilted her head back and screamed, which caused a gust of wind, with trees swaying wildly.

In an instant, the lakeside turned bitterly cold, looking like a ghostly realm; her eyes began to glow a bright red.

“I can’t…” But then her hoarse voice squeezed out these words, she seemed to struggle, raised her head, and screamed at Li Jue again, “You need to leave, now!”

Only then did Li Jue realize something was wrong; he got up and stumbled backward.

But as he was leaving, Situ Yan’s black hair suddenly sprang up, revealing her terrifying ghostly face covered in black veins!

“Stay!” Her voice transformed into a completely chilling tone.

Her disposition changed drastically.

With a wave of her hand, her ghostly figure instantly lunged at Li Jue.

On the other side, Song Qingyi, who had been observing in the dark for a while, decided not to stand by. She said to Chu Liang, “I’ll handle it.”

After speaking, her figure drifted, and the jade ruler in her hand emanated a surging blue light!

The Scholar’s Academy had an ancient divine weapon known as the Lianghe Jade Ruler, which ranked amongst the top hundred of the Ten Thousand Treasures Record. Song Qingyi’s ruler is an imitation called the Inch Heart Ruler.

There are many such imitations in the Immortal Cultivation World, generally only the original owner of the treasure can replicate it, and the high-quality imitations of the treasures are often not of low grade.

The Inch Heart Ruler emitted a righteous aura, and it arrived in the air. Situ Yan was on the verge of attacking Li Jue; she was taken by surprise and was almost hit.

Thankfully, now as a ghost, her body was elusive; in a flash, she sidestepped several meters and just managed to dodge the attack.

However, Song Qingyi’s attack followed closely; she flicked the jade ruler out of her hand, it struck Situ Yan in the waist with a dull sound.

Thud——

The ghostly form was hit; it emitted a puff of black smoke and fell onto the ground heavily.

The jade ruler flipped back into Song Qingyi’s hand; she was just about to follow up with another attack, but she saw a silhouette blocking her path.

Li Jue spread his arms to shield Song Qingyi and sobbed, “Teacher Song, please don’t kill Situ Yan. She isn’t evil, she’s pitiful…”

“Li Jue!” Song Qingyi exclaimed, “Situ Yan is already dead! Now that she has transformed into a ghost, the only way to let her be reborn normally is to disperse her. If she continues like this, she will never be reincarnated!”

“Ah?” Li Jue was shocked to hear this.

What Song Qingyi said was not a deception; it was a consensus in the Immortal Cultivation World…dealing with ghosts regardless of good or evil, dispersing them into reincarnation was considered a definitive act of kindness.

During this delay, the fallen Situ Yan regained her senses, screamed, and sent a puff of black smoke towards them!

The black smoke mushroomed in the wind, instantly turning into a canopy of boundless black fog, enveloping the entire lakeside.

“Trying to escape?” Song Qingyi immediately leapt up and soared high, getting out of the scope of the black fog. Once again, she suspended the Half-page Golden Book above her head; its faint glow constantly overseeing the area below, ensuring the Masked Ghost could not escape under the shield of the black fog.

But there was no movement.

After a long while, the black fog at the lakeside gradually vanished with the night breeze, and Song Qingyi landed back on the ground.

However, the scene before her eyes took her aback.

Li Jue sat on the ground, looking lost, evidently bewildered by the recent events.

Next to him, another Li Jue looked equally puzzled, glancing around.

Yes, there were two Li Jues by the lakeside!

“What…what’s going on?” Li Jue A was panicking.

Similarly, Li Jue B was full of horror. He immediately moved to distance himself from his double, casting a look toward Song Qingyi, “Teacher Song…”

Song Qingyi stared at the two identical Li Jues, her eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Who was real?

“I’m the real one…” “I’m the real one!” The two Li Jues declared in unison.

Song Qingyi was at a loss.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from a nearby grove. A handsome young man with a gentle smile walked out slowly.

Chu Liang made his splendid appearance.

He came to Li Jue A’s side, and smiled, “I have a way. The fake Li Jue has never met me. Whoever can say my name is the real one.”

“You’re Chu Liang!” Li Jue A promptly responded.

Li Jue B was startled and speechless.

At that moment, Chu Liang, Song Qingyi, and Li Jue A all cast their gazes upon him.

Just then, Chu Liang suddenly made a move. He viciously smashed half a gold brick against the back of Li Jue A’s head, thump!

With one hit from the brick, a surge of black air erupted from Li Jue A, who cried out, his body immediately reverting to that of the Masked Ghost!

Chu Liang did not give it a chance to struggle. A golden brick in his left hand, and a white-glowing sword in his right hand.

Chi!

The long sword pierced through the body of the Masked Ghost, causing the astral figure to immediately fill with cracks!

“Situ Yan…” Li Jue softly called out.

The Masked Ghost turned its head to look at Li Jue, a gleam of relief flashing in its eyes.

Thump.

The ghostly figure shattered, transforming into dust.

You…” Song Qingyi asked with some curiosity, “It clearly said your name. How did you know it was the fake one?”

“I don’t know, ah… I just thought that the Masked Ghost, who sneaks around the Academy every day, might have heard my name.” Chu Liang smiled. “Asking the question was just to get close to him. Only hitting one with a brick can guarantee the truth.”

“This time, I really have to thank you.” said Song Qingyi.

If Chu Liang hadn’t been there, the Masked Ghost’s trick would have caused her no small amount of trouble.

“We are all cultivators on the righteous path. It’s our duty to eliminate demons and monsters.” Chu Liang waved it off.

Speaking of which, he should thank the Masked Ghost for adding some twists at the end. If Song Qingyi had just calmly subdued it, he would have had a tough time interfering in the affairs of her Confucian territory.

Now, having naturally taken the lead, Song Qingyi even had to thank him. Quite satisfactory.

In the hall, only Li Jue appeared dispirited, looking blankly at the place where Situ Yan had vanished, unsure of what to do next.

Chu Liang approached and said, “If you wish to atone, you should go and surrender to the government office and report the truth about the accidental killing. Seeking death to escape is no solution.”

“Mmhmm…” Li Jue answered with a slight nod.

Sadness filled Song Qingyi’s eyes. She saw Situ Yan’s sorry fate and the mistakes she had made and was unsure how to judge.

The calm lake ripples, wrinkled by the night wind, helpless.

…

Damn!”

Not far from here, inside an inn in Yanjiao City, a black-robed man suddenly smashed a lamp on the table; inside the lamp was a black candle that had already been extinguished.

Crack!

The lamp fell to the floor and shattered. The black-robed man gritted his teeth.

“That Masked Ghost, forged with such effort, meant to gather more souls. Had I achieved the highest rank in the next Soul Collection Conference, there was hope for advancement!”

“Just a few days, and it’s been killed…”

“Damn!”

“I want to see who dares to meddle with my Masked Ghost…”
