"Begone!"
After performing a few quick gestures, Chu Feng pointed his right hand at the disheveled Water Ghost and let out a cold shout.
The sky, on the verge of nightfall, suddenly lit up as a flash of light streaked across it.
RUMBLE~
A moment later, a deafening peal of thunder echoed through the air.
A massive Thunderbolt came crashing down, striking the disheveled Water Ghost directly.
The sudden clap of thunder made Su Miaoke jump in fright.
"Ah!" she shrieked, clearly terrified.
"It’s okay. It’s over," Chu Feng reassured Miaoke.
The moment the Thunderbolt struck, the Water Ghost dissolved into a wisp of green smoke, its very soul obliterated.
If the creature had been a simple Water Ghost that didn’t harm people, Chu Feng would have left it alone.
After all, there were far too many Soul Bodies in the world. He couldn’t possibly deal with them all.
But if he encountered malevolent Soul Bodies like these, he wouldn’t let them get away. He would send them straight into oblivion, denying them any chance of reincarnation.
As for those little ghost children, Chu Feng didn’t spare them either. They were in league with the Water Ghost; if their tricks didn’t work, they resorted to force.
BOOM~ BOOM~
More Thunderbolts streaked across the sky, obliterating the little ghost children as well.
"It... it’s over already? Chu Feng, how did you do that? You can summon Thunderbolts?" Su Miaoke asked in astonishment, utterly shocked by what he had just done.
"It’s just a matter of coordinating a few Mantras and hand signs. Just a little trick," Chu Feng said with a smile.
’Actually, I can only do this because of the Token the God of Wealth gave me,’ Chu Feng thought. ’Without this Token, summoning a Thunderbolt would be extremely difficult.’
"Honey, were those... really unclean things? Also, can you teach me how to summon Thunderbolts?" Su Miaoke asked eagerly. She was desperate to learn his abilities, but at the same time, the thought of Soul Bodies terrified her.
"Yes, they were. But they’ll never get the chance to harm anyone again. They won’t even be reincarnated," Chu Feng said.
Trying to take a human life went against the laws of heaven. Chu Feng would never let them get away with that.
"But... they were so young..." Su Miaoke said, unable to hide her pity.
"They might have been young, but that didn’t make them any less wicked. If I hadn’t dealt with them today, they would have certainly murdered anyone else who passed this way. Eliminating them now was for the greater good," Chu Feng said.
"Honey, let’s not talk about this anymore. We should hurry back. It’s gotten completely dark," Su Miaoke urged Chu Feng, a chill running down her spine. The conversation was giving her goosebumps.
Chu Feng nodded. He gave Su Miaoke a piggyback ride to the passenger side of the car and opened the door. She immediately hopped in.
"Honey, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no Soul Body will be able to hurt you," Chu Feng said confidently after getting into the car. He started the engine, turned the car around, and drove away.
Night had fallen, and it was pitch black all around. Chu Feng drove cautiously.
The road here was in poor condition and difficult to navigate, so Chu Feng didn’t dare to drive too fast. The ride was bumpy enough as it was.
They drove for about two hours, but the road remained just as bumpy. The constant jarring had made Su Miaoke’s face turn pale.
"Honey, I don’t remember this road being so long," Su Miaoke couldn’t help but comment.
’He had actually noticed it a while ago. On the way here, the bumpy section had only lasted an hour before giving way to a smooth, easy-to-drive main road.’
’Clearly, they had run into trouble again.’
"Honey, the main road is just ahead!" Su Miaoke suddenly exclaimed in delight.
Not far ahead, she could see not only a paved asphalt road but also streetlights lining both sides. The area was brightly lit, and they could even see other cars driving by.
"That’s not right. It’s strange... I didn’t see any cars pass us, so how are there suddenly cars ahead of us?" Chu Feng said, puzzled.
Su Miaoke didn’t think too much of Chu Feng’s words. She was just desperate to get home and leave this godforsaken place.
"Maybe those cars were parked here and just started moving," Su Miaoke suggested.
"Really? That doesn’t make sense. It wasn’t just one car; there were several, all different makes and models," Chu Feng said, his expression turning grim.
He gradually slowed the car, inching forward cautiously.
Just as they neared the main road, Chu Feng suddenly found that the road ahead of them was gone.
In an instant, the main road vanished, replaced by nothing but endless darkness.
The headlights cut through the dark, revealing a sheer, black cliff right before them.
"Ah! Honey, look out! It’s a cliff!" Su Miaoke shrieked, finally seeing what lay ahead. She was terrified.
But Chu Feng had already slammed on the brakes. Thankfully, he had already slowed down, so the car screeched to a halt just in time.
If he hadn’t slowed down, by the time they realized the danger, it would have been too late to brake, and the entire car would have plunged over the edge.
"Honey, what... what’s happening?" Su Miaoke asked, terrified. The main road had vanished completely, as if it had all been a trick of the eye.
"Stay here and don’t move. I’m going to check it out," Chu Feng said before getting out of the car.
The moment he stepped out, a thick fog rolled in. It was so dense it seemed intent on swallowing everything whole.
However, the dense fog had no effect on Chu Feng whatsoever; it didn’t bother him in the slightest.
Chu Feng found a branch and used it to draw a strange symbol on the ground. Then, he silently chanted a Technique and planted the branch in the center of the symbol.
Once he was done, Chu Feng got back into the car.
Inside the car, Su Miaoke’s face was ashen, and beads of sweat dotted her forehead.
"What’s wrong?" Chu Feng asked, seeing how frightened she was.
"H-Honey, are you okay?" Su Miaoke stammered. "The moment you got out of the car, I couldn’t see you anymore. I thought something had happened to you."
Chu Feng understood immediately. He smiled and said, "I’m fine. I just stepped out to take a leak."
"Then let’s get out of here. This place is too creepy," Su Miaoke said with a shudder.
"Okay. By the way, do you have a pen on you?" Chu Feng asked.
"A pen? Yes." Su Miaoke immediately rummaged through her bag and pulled out a fountain pen.
Chu Feng took the pen and said to Su Miaoke, "Give me your hand."
"My hand? Honey, what are you doing?" Su Miaoke asked, completely baffled.
