黑色丝袜美美女被躁翻了

Chapter 312: The Young Madam of the Shen Family

Xu Ziyang gave chase with sword qi radiating from his hand. He moved with an astonishingly fierce momentum!

Xu Ziyang swung his sword down on the white figure, but the white figure turned into osmanthus flowers and showered down from the sky like rain. The next time the white figure appeared, it was on an osmanthus tree several dozen zhang away. This demonic entity had a demonic spell that transformed osmanthus flowers into its clones, and it had cast that spell very swiftly!

Nevertheless, Xu Ziyang was no ordinary person. He immediately threw his sword, Force Slayer, into the air. It transformed into a myriad of sword lights and flooded the woods, forcing the white figure out from amidst the osmanthus trees.

Once the demonic entity left the woods, it could no longer use the transformation spell from before, so it fled into the distance. Xu Ziyang left the woods too, in close pursuit of the white figure. In a flash, they left Shaonan Town and entered the outskirts of the town.

There was a massive manor up ahead! It had high walls, spacious courtyards, pavilions, and buildings—all of which had been built using the mountain as the foundation. The manor had probably looked grand in its heyday, but it was all in ruins now, with only broken walls and crumbling structures remaining.

For some reason, just the sight of this manor gave off a sinister aura.

The entrance gates of the manor still had half its signboard remaining. Upon closer inspection, it read "Shen."

The white figure paused briefly outside the manor, seemingly hesitant to enter. Under the moonlight, Xu Ziyang could faintly make out that the white figure was indeed a woman dressed in white.

Hearing the sound of rushing wind behind her, the woman dared not stay put there and quickly fled into the manor.

Xu Ziyang dived in after her.

Upon entering the manor, the air around him suddenly felt different. The gentle night breeze turned into a chilling cold, and the wails of ghosts rang faintly throughout the manor. This was likely a ghost lair.

Shaonan Town was such a prosperous place. It was surprising that evil spirits were gathering in a place so near the town.

With his sword in hand, Xu Ziyang scanned the dark ruins of the manor at lightning speed.

He was uncertain of the situation he was in. The surging evil yin qi indicated the evil creature that's the source of all that yin qi had to be extremely powerful.

Xu Ziyang had initially thought was just an ordinary case, but it now seemed much more complicated.

He turned around, intending to retreat for now.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Liang was still on the small boat on the river, and he had not noticed that Xu Ziyang was gone. His divine sense had only enveloped an area of several dozen zhang around him, so he was only vigilant to changes within that area.

The small boat slowly approached Jiang Yuebai standing on the shore. Her long dress and hair fluttered gently in the breeze as the radiance of thousands of stars shone down on her.

Chu Liang couldn't help but wonder, If the vengeful spirit were to appear, what form could it take to outshine Senior Sister Jiang?

Moments later, the boat reached the shore.

Just as they had planned, Chu Liang jumped ashore and walked over to Jiang Yuebai.

He asked her softly, "Miss, would you care to join me for a boat ride?"

The corners of Jiang Yuebai's lips rose slightly, forming a small smile. She didn't say a word; she just slowly tilted her head a little.

The silver moonlight cast down on her slender neck, highlighting its graceful outline. It was so smooth that it looked like her neck had been sculpted from white jade.

Chu Liang was so entranced by the sight that a moment passed by before he finally remembered to raise his hand and break off a sprig of flowers.

He was about to place it in Jiang Yuebai's hair and tuck it behind her ear. However, a chilly wind suddenly blew past them.

Jiang Yuebai's gaze turned cold. She whispered, "It's here."

Chu Liang looked up and saw an elegant and beautiful figure standing under a moon osmanthus tree in the distance, slowly beckoning to him.

Hmm...

"She is indeed very beautiful. It's no wonder that she was able to enchant so many people. Still, she's nowhere near as beautiful as Senior Sister Jiang," Chu Liang muttered to himself.

"Hurry after her. Don't let her get away," Jiang Yuebai urged.

"Ah." Chu Liang blinked. "I was thinking that. How did I accidentally say it out loud?"

Jiang Yuebai rolled her eyes at him, feeling happy and amused at the same time.

Chu Liang then pretended to be enticed by the woman in white and walked toward her.

As he got closer, he saw the female ghost's bleak, icy expression. She appeared to be around twenty years old, and she was shrouded in a heavy cloud of yin qi.

It was obvious at a glance that she wasn't a normal young woman. If the ghost's victims had been lucid, it would have been very easy for them to see that there was something off about her. That meant the men had likely been under effects of a spell of sorts, as opposed to being blinded by lust.

Seeing Chu Liang approach, the ghost stared straight at him.

Chu Liang asked her, "Miss, are you traveling alone? May I accompany you?"

Just like Jiang Yuebai had done earlier, the woman in white tilted her head slightly too.

Chu Liang raised the sprig of flowers and brought it toward the ghost's head. Right then, the sprig turned into half a golden brick.

It had been quite a while since Chu Liang had last hit someone with a brick. He had a slight itch he needed to scratch. The last person he'd hit with a brick had been Xu Ziyang.

...

Xu Ziyang looked cautiously at his surroundings.

He was sure he'd just exited the manor's courtyard. Yet, right after he took one step of the entrance gates, a bustling scene appeared before him.

This was a lively front courtyard of a manor. It looked identical to the courtyard he'd left just a moment ago, but the sun was shining brightly now, and a group of people were busy decorating the manor with red lanterns and banners.

The steward of the household was a man with a mustache in the shape of 八, and he was currently directing the servants.

He said, "Let's hurry and get everything set up. I'll check the inside and outside of the manor for any mistakes. The news of our young master's wedding has spread throughout Shaonan Town. It has to be grand and impressive!"

As the servants worked, they gave cheerful replies.

"Got it!"

"Our young master is finally getting married. We're all happy about it too, so we'll definitely do our best to make this a grand wedding!"

"Yes, the young master always treats us so well. And our young master has helped many poor people both inside and outside the town. He's wealthy and virtuous; he deserves a good wife."

Xu Ziyang carefully observed the people around him as they talked and smiled. They seemed so real. If this was an illusory technique, then it had to be at least on the same level as Shadow of Radiance.

Just like Chu Liang was doing with the female ghost, Xu Ziyang intended to do something to break this illusion. He was going to use his strongest sword technique.

Xu Ziyang formed a hand seal. He was about to unleash the Heavenly Sword Seal!

"Don't do that!" a voice cried out with alarm. "Doing that will wake it up!"

Xu Ziyang immediately paused the execution of the Heavenly Sword Seal and turned to look at the person who had spoken.

It turned out to be a young woman dressed in yellow. She seemed to be around seventeen or eighteen years old and had light freckles on her beautiful face.

Earlier, she had seemed no different from the other people in the courtyard. Xu Ziyang had thought she was a servant girl and just a part of the illusion. However, now that she was conversing with him, it was clear that his assumption had been wrong.

"What did you say?" Xu Ziyang asked.

He focused his qi on the young woman, ready to strike with his giant sword at any moment.

"Don't do that. There's an evil spirit in the depths of the courtyard. If you do that, you'll wake it up. Once it's out, everyone will suffer!" the girl said.

"Then, who are you?"

"I am the young madam of the Shen Family.[1]"

...

Boom!

Chu Liang's brick was anything but ordinary.

The woman in white had almost no time at all to react before Chu Liang smashed the brick into the back of her head.

She let out a blood-curdling scream. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

The woman clutched the back of her head with her hands. Black qi burst out of the head wound, and another face showed itself there behind her hair!

When the black qi stopped blasting out of her head, cracks appeared on that second face. It seemed like Chu Liang had shattered it.

This was the power of the Demon-Revealing Brick! He just needed to smash the woman's head once to get instant results as to whether she was a ghost!

After getting hit by the brick, the female ghost's true form was revealed, but she wasn't severely harmed. Instead, she became more ferocious.

Clutching the back of her head, she viciously opened her mouth towards Chu Liang and spat out a ball of red light!

However, Chu Liang had already mastered the close-combat Brick Combat Technique to the point of perfection. Using the Turbulent Stream Movement Art, he swiftly moved behind the ghost... only to quickly realize his mistake. He'd forgotten that the ghost had actual eyes on the back of her head.

As Chu Liang's right hand swung the brick down toward the ghost's head, the ghost's second face spat out another ball of red light. The red light instantly wrapped around Chu Liang's wrist.

That was when Chu Liang could finally have a good look at what the red light was. It turned out to be a blood-red tongue—the ghost's tongue!

The other ball of red light turned around in midair and threw itself toward Chu Liang!

The ghost had two tongues, but Chu Liang had two hands too. He formed a sword seal with his left hand, summoning his Dustless Sword!

At such a close distance, the Dustless Sword pierced through the ghost without any delay!

The ghost let out another blood-curdling scream. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Another bloody hole had appeared in her body, which had cracked like shattered porcelain. Yet, the ghost was still alive!

The ghost was certainly powerful; it was no wonder that the Shaonan Town's City Supervisory Division hadn't been able to deal with her.

The force of the flying sword sent the heavily injured ghost flying backward several zhang. Then while still in midair, she suddenly twisted! Her neck didn't move, but the rest of her body turned, and her back became her chest. Then she turned into a beam of white light, intending to flee!

This was quite surprising. Who knew that there would be an advantage like that with having two faces?

Nevertheless, just as she began to flee, a black-robed figure blocked off her escape route! Chu Liang didn't even need to give chase!

Ling Ao had dashed over from a distance, swiftly outflanking the ghost! He moved so quickly that he looked like a streak of black lightning under the moonlight!

The ghost's scarlet eyes locked onto Ling Ao's radiant eyes, which were filled with golden flames, and there was a sudden flash of white!

From Ling Ao's perspective, the ghost's grotesque face had transformed into one of exquisite beauty, and her figure had become incredibly alluring. She was no longer a sinister and terrifying ghost but a delicate and frail beauty.

The beauty was in a panic from being chased down and looked extremely pitiful.

She called out to Ling Ao in a weak and delicate voice, "Young hero, save me—"

Ling Ao's gaze flickered as he looked at this frail beauty.

His right hand immediately ignited with a burst of golden flames, and he thrust it forward fiercely. He punched the ghost in the face!

Wham.

Ling Ao's punch flattened the ghost's porcelain-like front face!

The ghost fell to the ground, with both faces letting out screams of agony. Ling Ao's punch didn't just leave the ghost's front face in a recessed state; it had caused her rear face to protrude!

The powerful attacks that Chu Liang and Ling Ao had dealt the ghost should have been enough to kill a century-old vengeful spirit. However, this ghost still hadn't disappeared, which was quite strange. Regardless, this made things convenient for Chu Liang.

He raised the Dustless Sword and went after the ghost, aiming to slay it first! His swordlight swiftly descended toward her!

Chu Liang was in a great hurry. He couldn't let anyone else take the kill!

"Don't kill me!" the ghost wailed.

Despite that, the swordlight didn't slow down and was about to cut the ghost down!

"I'll take you to find treasure!" the ghost pleaded loudly.

The swordlight immediately vanished.

However, the icy tip of the sword's blade was still pointed at the ghost.

Chu Liang looked down at her. "Oh? Do tell me in detail."

Seeing that she now had a chance of surviving, the ghost hurriedly said, "Don't kill me. I'll tell you everything!"

Jiang Yuebai quickly stepped forward and raised her hand, placing a talisman on the ghost's front face. Thinking it wasn't safe enough, she placed another one on the ghost's rear face. This way, the ghost could no longer behave malevolently.

Then Jiang Yuebai asked, "Where did you come from? Why are you killing people here? And what about the treasure you mentioned? Explain everything clearly."

The three young cultivators surrounded the ghost. With their six eyes staring at her, the ghost didn't bother making any futile attempts to escape. She just sat down cross-legged, seemingly resigned to her fate.

The ghost then began telling them her story.

"I was originally the young madam of the Shen Family Residence just outside Shaonan Town..."

1. As in the wife of the son, the young master of the household. ☜
