Transcending Heavens: My Cheat Code is Myself

"Who are you?" The giant ghost's eyes widened instantly as it looked at Chen Feng, who had appeared out of nowhere, a hint of fear flashing deep in its eyes.

The gentle smile on the other person's face looked so terrifying, and the other person's methods looked so cruel. When the giant ghost asked this question, he himself did not notice that his voice trembled slightly and contained a hint of flattery, as if he was afraid of following in the footsteps of the long-tongued ghost.

"Don't be afraid, Your Honor, I only saw you two fighting and wanted to break it up, but I didn't know my own strength... cough cough." At this point, Chen Feng coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. Oh no, even I don't believe this myself; if word gets out, I'll just be lying to ghosts...

"Oh! I see! This isn't your fault." The giant ghost was taken aback, finally realizing that he was still disguised as a ghost messenger. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing he survived. As for what was unreasonable, what did it matter that the one who died was a long-tongued ghost?

"Are you really not blaming me?" Chen Feng tilted his head and asked curiously. After all, your colleagues are everywhere now...

"Ahem, it's not your fault. It's all his fault for acting crazy and trying to attack his colleague. Even without you, he would have been sentenced to death by his superiors in the underworld." The giant ghost coughed twice to defend Chen Feng. He was extremely anxious at the moment. The long-tongued ghost was already dead, and the hallucinogenic effect might fail at any time.

Not to mention that his hands were tightly bound by the Soul-Hooking Rope, and his strength was now reduced to almost nothing.

Once his true form is revealed, given his ferocious appearance and his lack of restraint, he will likely follow in the footsteps of the Long-Tongued Ghost. However, the more anxious he is, the calmer the Giant Ghost must remain.

"A superior?" Chen Feng frowned in thought. That's right, since the Yin Messengers are the lower level of the Underworld, they must have superiors above them. But is the punishment for attacking a fellow Yin Messenger really that severe? Chen Feng looked at the giant ghost with suspicion. Are you lying to me?

"Cough cough cough, forget about all that nonsense for now, just let me go quickly." The giant ghost was startled and quickly changed the subject. After all, he had no idea what kind of official Chen Feng's superior was, and he was sure he would be exposed if Chen Feng asked him a few more questions.

That's the annoying thing about these cultivators. They have to write everything down in the book. If you say something wrong, they'll say you have a problem. Several guys who wanted to make things up on the spot have been completely ruined. Although the giant ghosts aren't popular, I've heard of their great names.

Chen Feng looked at the giant ghost who had become obedient after his hands were bound, and curiously examined the thin chains. He asked, "Sir, can't you break free of these thin chains by yourself?"

"Ahem, you don't know this, if the person being tied up could easily untie themselves, wouldn't it be useless? Don't be fooled by its thinness, no matter where it binds the body, it actually binds the soul. The only way to escape is to get out before it wraps around you."

Seemingly in order to gain Chen Feng's trust, the giant ghost said a few more words: "I was tied up so tightly because I was too slow and didn't get away in time."

Too slow? I think you're just too big to dodge, right? Chen Feng thought to himself with disdain.

The giant ghost, completely unaware of the situation, continued, "The way to break this soul-snatching rope is very simple. You hold the base of this chain, and I will pass on a mantra to you. You only need to recite it twice to break the chain. Come closer."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?

Chen Feng had witnessed firsthand just how powerful the Soul-Hooking Rope was. The giant ghost was clearly far stronger than the long-tongued ghost, but the moment the Soul-Hooking Rope was unleashed, it was completely overturned by the opponent.

The long-tongued ghost's tongue was clearly similar to this chain, yet the giant ghost easily snapped it with a flick of its finger. However, after switching to this soul-hooking rope, the ghost dared not act recklessly at all. Its immense strength seemed to have been completely sealed away, and it didn't even make a token struggle, behaving as obediently as a quail.

After a moment, the giant ghost finished reciting the long incantation. It seemed that in order to guard against Chen Feng, the incantation recited by the other party only had the function of release, and there was no so-called driving incantation. Chen Feng secretly regretted it.

After the recitation was finished, the giant ghost repeatedly emphasized, "You must recite it twice; it will only take effect if you recite it twice."

Chen Feng nodded. It seemed that reciting the incantation once could only release one person. The other party repeatedly emphasized that it had to be recited twice, obviously because he was the second one to be bound. If Chen Feng recited it once, it would probably only release Miss Zhang, but not him.

Seeing Chen Feng finally nod, the giant ghost breathed a sigh of relief, thinking fiercely, "Speak! Once I'm released, I'll devour you all! Whether it's that pure soul or this cultivator, I'll eat them all!"

To be fair, the long-tongued ghost is quite accurate at spotting ghosts. The giant ghost is indeed someone who can't control himself; he has absolutely no sense of the bigger picture.

"Read it quickly! Read it quickly!" As the giant ghost eagerly awaited his words, Chen Feng gripped the end of the chain and chanted them emphatically.

Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Just as Chen Feng was about to finish reciting the last sentence, he suddenly stopped and scratched his head.

The giant ghost's temper flared, and he almost lost control. He even wanted to jump up and tear Chen Feng apart, but it was clear that he couldn't do either of those things now: "Nian! Why did you stop?"

"Um, I accidentally forgot my lines?" Chen Feng scratched his head sheepishly.

"Hoo!" The giant ghost took a deep breath. Indeed, the incantation was so long that forgetting the words was inevitable. He told himself that he still needed the other party to get out of trouble, so he couldn't rush it. He generously said, "It's okay, I'll tell you the incantation again."

Immediately, he repeated the key points of the formula to Chen Feng again.

"Well? Did you remember it?"

"I've got it, I've got it." Chen Feng nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, then start reciting," the giant ghost urged repeatedly.

Chen Feng immediately began reciting the incantation in a dignified manner.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it!" the giant ghost shouted in his mind. "Read it quickly! Finish reading it quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Feng stopped again just before the last sentence was finished.

The giant ghost nearly choked to death, and though he was furious, he still suppressed his anger and asked, "What is it now?"

"Hehe, Your Excellency, look at this Soul-Hooking Rope. It's a real pity that it can only be released and not retrieved." Chen Feng shook his head, looking regretful, and then fell silent.

The giant ghost was almost driven to death with anger. He finally understood that Chen Feng hadn't forgotten at all; he clearly had his eye on the Soul-Hooking Rope and was now using it to blackmail him!
