The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 26 The Perverted Ghost Spirit

"Ah! It's haunted..."

On the open ground, the villagers panicked and fled in all directions. Zhang Dan and his companion trembled, looking at Xu Banxian, unsure whether to flee or not.

Just as the two were engaged in a fierce internal struggle, terrified screams came from all around.

Next, Zhang Dan and his companion witnessed the most terrifying and shocking scene they had ever seen in their lives!
Suddenly, the villagers who were fleeing in terror felt their necks tighten, their feet left the ground, and they were sent flying backwards.

At the same time, a strong feeling of suffocation and fear of death overwhelmed the villagers.

"Waaah...!" Some young children, awakened from their sleep by the noise, ran out of the house crying when they couldn't find their families. But they were caught by the ghost spirit as soon as they ran out!
Nearly a hundred people, their bodies manipulated by the Hanging Ghost, hovered above the ruins of the Wang Family Compound, holding... a mass hanging ceremony!
Men, women, young and old!

From elderly people in their eighties or nineties to young children as young as a few years old, and even toddlers who are just learning to speak... no one is exempt!
A series of choked sobs escaped their throats, the muffled cries filling the dark night sky. The once dazzling stars, which had inspired awe and wonder, now appeared eerily terrifying to the villagers.
"That damned beast, utterly despicable!"

Feng Ling and Xu Banxian were suspended a hundred meters in the air, while the villagers were suspended one hundred and twenty meters above them. Looking up, the two could see everything clearly.

The once respectful and simple smiling faces now appeared so full of pain. Feng Ling's eyes were slightly red, and her heart ached, especially when she thought of how everyone respectfully called her "Old Bodhisattva," the pain became even more intense!
"Cheers! How spectacular! I'm so happy!"

A chilling, unusually excited laugh echoed through the night sky, sending a shiver down the spines of everyone in the air, as if chilled by the extreme north wind...

"Disciple, run!"

Suddenly, a sinister blue figure appeared behind Zhang Dan and his companion. Xu Banxian's face flushed red, and he roared through his teeth, "It's above your heads!"

With a slight twitch of their ears, Zhang Dan and his companion snapped out of their daze and looked around in terror.

They felt the eerie laughter was very close, but they couldn't see a single person, because people were hanging by their necks and struggling high in the air ahead!

Until Master Xu roared and reminded him...

Boom~!

Like a bolt from the blue, Zhang Dan and his companion were overwhelmed with shock. Trembling, they turned around, and a dazzling blue came into view...

"Ah!!" A scream came from Xu Hui as he ran away.

Drops of bright red blood splattered, and Zhang Dan retreated in terror, staring wide-eyed at the blue figure blinking its mouth as it slowly retracted its long black tongue!

"Cancan! You dare to run away? Watch me... without using your tongue... hang you... and strangle you to death! Then... whip your corpse!"

Because the tongue is not involved in pronunciation, the eerie sound is muffled and unclear.

But Zhang Dan, in his panic, suddenly had a breakthrough and managed to understand the general meaning!
Was he strangled to death by hanging from a tongue?

A chill ran down Zhang Dan's spine. Perhaps anyone else would have been ridiculed and scorned for uttering such boastful words, but these words came from the mouth of this demon!

As soon as Gui Lingzi finished speaking, he gave Zhang Dan a chance to enjoy the live performance!

"Bang! Bang bang!"

A series of shrill screams followed by the sound of something crashing to the ground, and large craters appeared in the earth.

A moment later, a bloodied figure, barely alive, appeared on the black tongue!
Under the cruel and perverted onslaught of Gui Lingzi, Xu Hui was already bleeding profusely from his head!
"Ah! Master, save... save me!"

Bathed in bright red blood, Xu Hui cried out in despair, then felt a sharp pain in his throat and his consciousness gradually faded.

A piercing cry for help abruptly stopped, but it had traveled far through the night sky, waking up many villagers who were already fast asleep in the neighboring villages.

Looking out at the pitch-black night, many people shivered, instinctively pulled the covers tighter, and curled up in a ball on the bed!
I'm sleepless tonight!
This is a true reflection of the feelings of villagers from several nearby villages at that time!
"Xu Hui! You bastard..."

A mournful cry rang out, and the old Taoist priest with the ox-nose trembled, tears welling in his old eyes. He had always thought that only money mattered to him, but when he actually saw his disciple die tragically, he felt an indescribable sorrow in his heart.

"Pah, what a weak body!"

Gui Lingzi curled his lip in disdain, casually tossing aside Xu Hui's gruesome, tortured corpse. He turned to stare at the terrified Zhang Dan and sneered, "Little brat, how do you want to die?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to die..."

"Oh? You can live, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What...what conditions?"

Gazing up closely at the face of the ghost spirit who had wrapped its tongue around his neck, Zhang Dan was almost scared to tears, his body trembling uncontrollably: This is just too... outrageous!

"Play with me, just like they do..."

Gui Lingzi looked up at the sky, where the "quasi-corpses" struggled even more fiercely.

"No! I don't want to play this..."

Following the gaze of the ghost spirit, Zhang Dan struggled in terror. It would have been better to die than to endure such a horrific ordeal!

"what!!"

Zhang Dan felt a tightness around his neck, and his body was being dragged up by a rope!

The next moment, another "quasi-corpse" appeared in the air, its face contorted and struggling, kicking and dancing!
"Cancan, you're too slow! You have to pedal faster!" Before the words were even finished, the rope suddenly tightened a little more, and the two legs were stimulated to speed up.

"Tongue, oh tongue, you have to show yourself!" Before the words were even finished, a black tongue burrowed into the stinky mouth and pulled out a long tongue!

"And you guys, why are you keeping your eyes half-closed like dead fish? Open them wider right now..." Before he could finish speaking, he couldn't open them wide no matter what he did!
……

"Oh dear! Your postures... are not standard!" After correcting more than a hundred people into what he thought were very good-looking hanging postures, Gui Lingzi took a look at them again, but he was still not very satisfied. He felt that they were still lacking a certain air of a hanged ghost!

"Watch closely, I'm going to teach you!"

A black rope suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hung down from mid-air. Ghost Spirit angrily hoisted it up. Then, the terrifying scene...reappeared!
What exactly is it trying to do?!
Both Feng Ling and Xu Banxian had the same question in their minds. As for the other villagers who were hanging, their minds had already been tormented and broken by the ghost spirit, so they had no mind to think about these things.

However, if everyone knew what Gui Lingzi was thinking, they would be even more terrified!
"Hmph! Once you've hanged enough, I can build my own hanging ghost army!"

With his tongue hanging from his own, Gui Lingzi kicked his legs even more joyfully, looking completely blissful, showing no sign of the discomfort others were experiencing!
"Phew!" As their breathing gradually became smoother and the color in their necks began to fade, Feng Ling and Xu Banxian were overjoyed.

The two knew that the first wave of the Ghost Curse's torment was almost over, and they were determined to kill it before the second wave of the Ghost Curse could take effect!

This time, Feng and Ling suffered a hidden loss! The evil curse of the ghostly yin acted just when the two made their move, suppressing them before they could even muster their strength to resist. Otherwise, given their cultivation levels, they wouldn't have been in such a predicament!
The first wave of the Ghost Yin Curse was triggered by the Ghost Spirit Child, and after that it would strike randomly from time to time!
"Looks like I have to take the risk myself! Those villagers... we have to save them!"

Outside Gujing Village, on a small hilltop, a distinguished-looking man with a gun stood with a cold gaze, muttering to himself, before disappearing into the darkness.

Looking ahead from where this man was, one could see nearly a hundred figures moving rhythmically amidst streaks of crimson light in the air above Gujing Village.

Right in the center of this group of figures, a dazzling blue light stood out.
"Woooo~!"

Their old legs twitched and kicked, and no matter how much they roared and how much they cried out in their hearts, they couldn't utter a single word from their choked throats.

Fear, frustration, and resentment—drops of pure water fell from the sky.

The ruins of the Wang family estate are eerie, yet filled with a profound sense of sorrow.
