Chapter 443: Twin Souls in One Body

  "No!"

  Lu Fei and Xu Bei both shook their heads, pushing Master Zhuang's father back.

  "To trade a life for one's own safety, what is the difference between us and those people like Mister Bao?" Xu Bei said with an unshakeable tone, "Furthermore, that Mister Bao is ruthless and cruel. Even if you sacrifice yourself, he would not spare the others."

  "That's right!" Lu Fei nodded, "Then, Vice President Xu, what is the troublesome solution?"

  "We need to find the nine formation eyes and destroy them one by one. That way, this Blood Net Formation will naturally be broken," Xu Bei said as he squinted at the impenetrable blood net.

  Those red rays seemed to emerge from the darkness, weaving together in a crisscross pattern.

  It was very difficult to identify where the formation eyes were located.

  "This method will take some effort, but it's not impossible to find." Xu Bei's gaze crossed over the Red Net, looking at the two people at the other end of the corridor, "But will they give us the chance to look for it?"

  "The people from the Mystic Gate Association are so smart!"

  Upon hearing this, Brother Bao gave a cold laugh.

  "Originally, we stayed out of each other's way. You be your vice president, and I run my casino! But you insist on helping that old beast with the surname Zhuang, which makes you all deserve to die!"

  "Boss Bao, I was wrong! It was me who harmed your sister, and it has nothing to do with the others. Whatever you want to do, do it to me alone! Don't involve the others!" Father Zhuang, trembling, pleaded loudly.

  "You should have died a long time ago! But killing you is too easy, it would be letting you off lightly! I want you, and your children, to live in pain for the rest of your lives! I want you to feel the suffering my eldest sister and this child once endured!"

  Boss Bao bit his middle finger until it bled, then smeared his blood on the statue of the little ghost.

  The droplet of blood was instantly absorbed.

  Gek gek gek.

  In the corridor, the eerie, ethereal laughter of an infant suddenly echoed.

  "Be careful!"

  Xu Bei pushed Zhuang Mingcheng and his son into the house.

  "You can't come out until those ghosts outside are dealt with!"

  "Old Xu, I've gotten you involved in this." Zhuang Mingcheng's voice was hoarse.

  He hadn't expected that such a terrifying figure was behind the Inversion Spell.

  "Among friends, there's no need for such talk!" Xu Bei smiled.

  "Huzi, take care of them!" Lu Fei patted Huzi on the shoulder.

  "Yes, Boss!"

  Huzi held his large knife and stood guard beside Zhuang Mingcheng and his son.

  After the brief rest, he had regained some of his strength and was now more alert.

  "Vice President Xu, I'll deal with this little ghost, and you take care of the array's eye!" Lu Fei took out his thunder-struck jujube wood stick.

  "Alright!"

  Xu Bei pushed his glasses and his gaze focused on those intricate, crisscrossing red lines.

  Lu Fei took out his ghost-whipping whip.

  Kek kek kek!

  The creepy laughter of a baby echoed in the darkness from time to time.

  Innocent, yet filled with malice.

  That Leopard Boss, who kept claiming he was avenging his sister and her son, wasn't actually a good person either; he had actually turned his own nephew into a little ghost.

  Kek kek kek!

  In the crimson blood web, a ghastly pale, tiny figure suddenly appeared.

  Now to the left, now to the right, it was extremely difficult to catch.

  "Here it comes!" Lu Fei squinted his eyes, trying his best to follow the flickering figure of the little ghost with his gaze.

  Giggling!

  The little ghost climbed in front of him and Xu Bei, and suddenly disappeared.

  The next moment.

  It appeared above their heads.

  Lu Fei immediately swung out the ghost-whipping.

  Crack!

  The little ghost reacted quickly and vanished in an instant, leaving the whip to strike at nothing.

  Xu Bei remained completely unaffected, calm and composed, his eyes sweeping back and forth over the blood web.

  On the other side of the blood web.

  The black-robed Taoist crouching in the shadows had been coldly watching them with a sinister gaze, who knew what he was planning.

  Lu Fei stood beside Xu Bei, with his powers activating all five senses, carefully observing every movement around them.

  A chill came from the side.

  From the corner of his eye, Lu Fei saw a little ghost stealthily appearing by Xu Bei's feet.

  Pretending to be unaware, Lu Fei did not move the dǎ guǐ biān in his right hand, and the little ghost immediately relaxed its guard, opening its mouth, its sharp teeth aiming for Xu Bei's calf.

  Buzz!

  But at that moment, a sudden golden light illuminated the area.

  The little ghost was greatly alarmed.

  Lu Fei held an Eight Trigram Mirror in his left hand, the faint golden light enveloping the little ghost, slowing its movements. He raised his right hand and lashed out with the whip.

  Smack!

  The little ghost tried its best to dodge, but it was still hit hard, letting out a piercing wail and struggling to crawl away.

  Lu Fei's Eight Trigram Mirror and Ghost-Whipping Whip worked together, and the little ghost was extremely wary. There was a deep whip mark on its pale blue skin, causing it to lick its wound with its small tongue from time to time.

  After hovering in the blood net for a while, it tried to get close again.

  It rushed to Lu Fei several times, then suddenly jumped back, trying to lure Lu Fei into the blood net.

  But how could Lu Fei fall for that? He just steadily guarded beside Xu Bei.

  In just a few minutes.

  Xu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up as he found the first array eye.

  He thrust out his right hand abruptly.

  A black palm print flew out, and the crimson light instantly diminished by a large amount.

  "Master Xuan, that young man is not simple either!" Master Bao frowned, "If we really let them drag it out, this formation will be broken sooner or later."

  "What background does that young man have?" The black-robed Taoist finally spoke, his voice old and low.

  "I am not clear. I had never seen him before today... It seems his surname is Lu..."

  "Lu?"

  The dark gaze of the black-robed Taoist suddenly flickered.

  "He can break the inversion curse and his surname is Lu, could it be Sinisterium Pawnshop?!"

  "What is Sinisterium Pawnshop?" Master Bao asked curiously.

  "You've been in Jiang City for decades, and you don't even know Sinisterium Pawnshop? Do you only think about money?" The black-robed Taoist glared at him coldly.

  "We can't let the people from Sinisterium Pawnshop stay, we need to add fuel to their fire!"

  Immediately after.

  The black-robed Taoist sat cross-legged, and after a series of hand seals and incantations, a faint red light emanated from his body. He suddenly pushed his hands forward.

  The blood net actually began to move, slowly approaching the corridor.

  "Not good! Manager Lu, we're in trouble now!"

  Xu Bei's expression darkened.

  If they couldn't find the remaining eight array eyes before the blood net approached, they were as good as dead!

  "Don't worry, Vice President Xu! Just take your time to find them. This room still has plenty of space. I believe in you!"

  Lu Fei didn't urge him on. The more pressure at this moment, the more chaotic it would become.

  Xu Bei took a deep breath and quickly scanned the blood net, finally locating the second array eye.

  Just as he was about to strike with his palm.

  That pale little ghost lunged at him again.

  Lu Fei immediately shone the Eight Trigram Mirror towards it.

  A faint golden light enveloped the area, slightly immobilizing the little ghost's figure, and Lu Fei swiftly raised his whip.

  But unexpectedly, another head and limbs emerged from behind the little ghost, and a smaller ghost crawled out.

  "It's actually a twin in one body!"

  Lu Fei was taken aback.

  The tiny ghost moved even faster, darting past his feet and scurrying into the room, heading straight for the Zhuang father and son.

  "Hu Zi, stop it quickly!"

  Lu Fei was occupied with dealing with the little ghost in front of him and couldn't split his attention.

  Hu Zi reacted instantly, positioning his large saber in front of the two men.

  But the tiny ghost moved too fast, almost like a streak of pale white lightning, and it dove directly into Zhuang Mingcheng's body.
