NFBE Chapter 247 Female Ghost in Red
Chapter 247 Female Ghost in Red
Lin Shen and the other six heard a sinister "hehehehe" laugh. Anu felt her scalp tingle and shouted, "Who is it? Stop playing tricks and come out!"
But when everyone looked around, they didn't see any trace, only the creepy "hehehe" laughter.
After a while, they heard a sound of "Ah~~!". They looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Jiang Wan'er.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Your voice scared us."
Jiang Wan'er touched her face and said, "I... I felt someone touch my face. (Looking around) Who is it? Come out!"
But no one responded, there was only the "hehehe" laughter.
Lin Shen followed the sound and shot a fireball, but it only set a dead tree on fire and nothing else.
At this time, a voice teasing Lin Shen was heard again, "Brother, you missed. Hehehe~"
After a while, another "Ah~!" sound was heard. This time, Lin Yueru was pinched by someone.
Lin Yueru drew her sword and swung it wildly, shouting, "Who is it? Who scared your aunt out? Stop playing tricks on me! Come out!"
Lin Shen thought: This guy is quite good at playing pranks. Who on earth could do such a thing?
Lin Shen shouted, "Xiaoyao, Ling'er, Yueru, Anu, Wan'er, the five of you stand back to back!" When the five people heard this, they immediately stood back to back and observed the movements around them, but found nothing.
Lin Shen immediately used his Observation Haki to sense the situation around him. Based on the sound, he judged that the guy who was pretending to be a ghost was not far away from him.
After a while, Lin Shen sensed that there was a female ghost hiding behind a tree, and the sound came from her. Lin Shen immediately struck out with lightning.
When the ghost girl saw the lightning coming towards her, she immediately dodged to the side. The lightning struck the tree in two.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and indeed, they found a female ghost in red clothes and red hair, with a red headband on the back of her head. Her clothes looked very much like the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, with a low-cut shoulder and long sleeves. The red skirt on the lower body was also very short, and she wore a pair of red shoes on her feet.
Lin Yueru pointed at the female ghost in red and shouted, "She's there!" After that, she gathered strength in her fingers and shot out a sword energy at the female ghost in red.
Seeing this, the female ghost subconsciously threw out a lightning ball, which exploded when it collided with the sword energy. After the smoke and dust cleared, the female ghost was still floating there lightly.
The female ghost said, "Good fellow, you are quite capable."
Lin Shen glanced at the red-dressed female ghost and couldn't help but sneer. He had already guessed who that person was and muttered quietly, "So it's her."
The red-clothed female ghost then transformed a longbow into her hand and aimed it at Lin Yueru. A red arrow appeared on the bow, and with a "whoosh!" sound, the arrow shot towards Lin Yueru.
Lin Shen jumped up, grabbed the arrow in his hand, and threw it back at the female ghost in red.
The red-clothed ghost dodged downwards, and the arrow flew over her head. She touched her head and said, "Good boy, you've got it."
The red-clothed female ghost swung her hands, and several bolts of lightning struck Lin Shen. Lin Shen's feet began to glow red, and were soon engulfed in flames. He kicked out a flaming slashing wave towards the lightning.
The slashing wave exploded after colliding with lightning. After Lin Shen landed, he kicked out another slashing wave at the female ghost in red.
Seeing this, the red-clothed ghost woman floated upwards, dodging the attack. However, a crow flew by, and the slashing wave split the crow in two, with flames still clinging to the cut.
The red-clothed female ghost took one look at the crow that was cut in half and said, "What a fierce kick!"
Lin Shen sneered and said, "My Devil Wind Kick is not that easy to deal with."
At this moment, a sword flew towards the red-clothed ghost. She quickly dodged to the side, and the sword passed by. Everyone looked and saw that it was Li Xiaoyao's Seven Star Sword.
Li Xiaoyao waved his sword, and the Seven Star Sword flew back. Seeing this, the red-clothed female ghost dodged upwards again, and the sword missed again.
The Seven Star Sword returned to Li Xiaoyao's hand. Li Xiaoyao looked at the red-clothed female ghost and said, "This girl is too slippery. She keeps dodging and evading. I can't hit her at all."
Jiang Wan'er drew her Frost Condensation Sword and swung it out with a stream of sword energy. Lin Yueru gathered spiritual energy from her fingers and also released a stream of sword energy.
Anu took out a poisonous insect and threw it towards the female ghost in red. At the same time, the poisonous insect turned into a white snake.
The female ghost in red dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks of the three people.
Zhao Linger waved the Heavenly Snake Staff in her hand, and a rumbling sound came from a dark cloud in the sky, followed by several thunderclaps that struck down from the sky.
The female ghost in red dodged left and right, but still couldn't escape. A thunderbolt struck the female ghost in red, followed by a series of "Yiyayaya~" sounds.
After the thunder explosion, the red-clothed female ghost's body was split open, leaving her crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a few wisps of black smoke coming out of her body.
The female ghost in red slowly fell to the ground, lying on the ground gasping for breath.
Lin Shen said, "Hongkui, do you still want to play? If you do, we will continue to play with you."
The red-clothed female ghost was stunned for a moment, looked up at Lin Shen, and said, "How do you know me!?"
Lin Shen sneered and said, "What I know is what I should know."
Zhao Linger asked, "Hongkui!? Who is this female ghost in red?"
Lin Shen said, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a state called Jiang. Jiang was attacked by the state of Yang. In order to protect itself, Jiang forged a magic sword, and the forging required one thing: virgin blood.
In fact, it refers to the Jiang Kingdom's princess Long Kui. At this time, the Yang Kingdom had already invaded the capital. Long Kui's brother Long Yang died in battle, and the Jiang Kingdom was destroyed. Long Kui was disheartened and jumped into the sword forge, and the magic sword was forged.
Lin Yueru said, "Then...what does that have to do with the red sunflower in front of me?"
Lin Shen continued, "That's because Long Kui's soul has been inside the magic sword for a thousand years. Because she missed her brother Long Yang, she never entered the cycle of reincarnation.
There are many vengeful spirits living in the magic sword, and they have bullied Long Kui a lot. And this Hong Kui is the second personality that was born to protect Long Kui.
Hong Kui smiled seductively and said, "You know so much."
Lin Shen said, "However, I remember that Long Kui, Long Yang's reincarnation Jing Tian, and Tang Xue Jian jointly opened a Xin'an Pawnshop and lived a wealthy life in Yuzhou. What brought you here?"
Hong Kui said with disdain, "I just felt that this kind of life was too boring, so I came to the ghost world for a while.
I just happened to see a few of you by chance, and I thought it was a novel thing to see people appear in the ghost world, so I thought I would make fun of you.
Speaking of which, I'm also curious, why are you humans here? Why don't you stay in the human world?
Lin Shen said, "Oh, we need to go to the Impermanence Palace and find the Shadow Branch. We need to take that thing to the Fantasy World."
When Hongkui heard this, she said, "I thought it was something serious. I'll go with you."
Lin Shen had no objection, but when he looked at Li Xiaoyao and the others, they felt a little scared when they thought that there was a ghost following them, and they couldn't help but shiver.
Hong Kui took one look and said, "Forget it, forget it. Go west and you will reach the Impermanence Palace. Go there by yourselves."
Lin Shen bowed and said, "The mountains remain green and the water flows on forever. We will meet again in the future."
Hong Kui waved her hand and said, "Let's go." So Lin Shen and the others continued to walk west.
