The Emperor is Above

Chapter 286: The Ghost Baby
"Did anyone specifically tell you?"

Qing Yi was slightly startled, and immediately became alert and asked, "There are cat ghosts, gods and servants in the city?"

The fact that the monster in front of us can get news from other people means that it has accomplices or allies.

Thinking back to yesterday evening, the evil eyes that were secretly staring at him in the upper city, and the fleeting figure of the black cat, Qing Yi instantly understood the whole story.

The monster disguised himself as Xing Jiyin, the youngest son of Xing Hou. Since he could enter and leave the upper city openly, he could also bring cats, ghosts, gods and servants into the upper city smoothly without any effort.

"Hehe, you are indeed a rare young genius in Xing State. Your ingenuity makes the food taste even better!"

Xing Jiyin laughed twice in a low voice, and drops of saliva fell from his scarlet tongue as he licked. He stared at Qing Yi with greedy eyes that could not be concealed, and continued to laugh strangely.
“I accidentally smelled your spiritual aura at the Imperial College a few days ago. That wonderful smell almost drove me crazy. Even getting close to you and sniffing it made me fascinated.

I wanted to go with you yesterday evening and find an opportunity to eat you along the way, but unexpectedly Shi Dazhu came to the upper city to greet you in person, which made it difficult for me to do so and I had to give up.

At that time, I planned to look for an opportunity in a few days, since you would still be staying in the capital for a month. Who would have thought that the rangers under your command would be able to discover my identity? If the Black Charcoal God had not informed me in time, I am afraid you would have succeeded.

You know, I have been hiding very deeply in the past year, and even a first-rank grandmaster could not see through my disguise. But I did not expect that a small ranger could find the flaws through my more than ten times of searching for blood food.

After hearing the news last night, I was so upset that I couldn't help but jump out of the palace wall and sneak into the Imperial College. I only felt a little comforted after eating two snacks.

Since you have seen through my hidden identity, I have no choice but to take the initiative and eat you. Even if the task entrusted by the old witch fails, it will not be a loss for me to come to the human world. "

Qing Yi stared at the monster intently. Although he looked calm, he was extremely uneasy in his heart. The strength of this monster was too unfathomable.

Ever since he got the sachet of Pan Qing's original body to conceal his breath in the starry sky, even the Ghost King has found it difficult to find him. However, this monster disguised as Xing Jiyin can smell the breath of his soul.

No, since this monster was afraid of Shi Dazhu's presence yesterday, it means that it only has extraordinary hiding ability, but its true strength will never exceed the third-grade combat master level by much.

Perhaps it was because he had been practicing Qi-refining techniques in the library a few days ago, and had broken through from the realm of life and spirit to the realm of Qi-refining and spirit-transformation, and had directly advanced to the realm of spiritual clarity, which had caused the aura of his soul to fluctuate too much, thus being discovered by this monster, and ultimately leading to this disaster.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi's worries were slightly relieved. He held the sword in his hand for defense, slowly stepped back, and sneered, "Want to eat me? I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so.

Besides, do you think that no one else knows your identity except me? Besides me and Shi Ludan, Shi Dazhu also knows your identity. He has informed Old Man Shi overnight——"

"Hehe, do you think that since the Black Charcoal God Servant can hide in the capital without being discovered, there are no other cat ghost gods and servants?"

The monster disguised as Xing Jiyin interrupted Qing Yi's words without any hesitation. His face was full of anger and pride, and his facial features were almost distorted.
“The Black Wind God and the Cat Ghost God paid such a huge price, intending to severely damage the main force of the Xing Kingdom during the autumn harvest, and then completely destroy the Xing Kingdom after the winter festival with the help of internal and external forces. Who would have thought that a kid like you would see through their plan and suffer a series of great losses.

Now I have been hiding for nearly a year, but was discovered by your rangers at the critical stage. How can I allow you to destroy our plans again and again?

The ranger named Shi Ludan was just a small ninth-rank warrior. He could be killed by any junior servant sent by the Cat Ghost God.

As for Shi Dazhu and Shi Laoweng, who you are counting on, they are being harassed by the cat ghost outside the capital, and they may never come back."

"Quack-"

Qing Yi was immediately shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many dangers lurking in the capital. It was not just this monster acting alone, but a joint action with the Cat Ghost God and the Black Wind Tribe. I'm afraid that the Five-Directional Gods active along the river are also involved.

The monster told Qing Yi so much secrets in one breath. It was not the villain's trick of dying because of talking too much, but he used these words to attack Qing Yi's mind and make him panic and lose his composure.

Noticing Qing Yi's expression of doubt and surprise, the monster thought it had achieved its goal, and pounced on him with a strange laugh. Its original human hands instantly turned into terrifying ghost claws, and went straight for Qing Yi's neck and throat.

“Bang—bang—bang—”

A pair of ghost claws collided violently with the five-foot-long sword, making a series of ear-and-nose numbing noises.

The huge force of the impact almost broke the base of Qing Yi's hands, causing waves of severe pain.

The ghost's words just now really made him feel confused, but fortunately, the vigilance from his soul, plus Pan Qing's timely reminder in his sea of ​​consciousness, allowed him to finally block the monster's first wave of attack.

After a brief and intense fight, Qing Yi judged that the monster's strength was between the upper third and lower second grade. With the rune sword in his hand, he could still fight. He tried to make as much noise as possible to attract support from the Worship Hall and the Black Armor Cavalry.

On the other hand, the monster disguised as Xing Jiyin became even more excited after being blocked by Qing Yi. It laughed strangely and said, "As expected of a young hero valued by Lord Xing, and as expected of a delicious food.

I thought you were less than sixteen years old and at most had the strength of a sixth or fifth rank, but I didn't expect you to have the physical strength beyond that of a third rank combat master.

But even if you fight like a trapped beast, all you can rely on is the bone sword in your hand that is sharpened by the sharp teeth of a fourth-grade crocodile. I will smash it to pieces soon, and you will eventually become a delicacy in my mouth.

Don't think that the fight just now will attract other people to support you. I just set up a soul-confusing formation here. No one will come even if we fight fiercely. "

This monster was not bluffing. Qing Yi found with a serious expression that there was indeed no sign of any reinforcements coming around, and the long sword in his hand also showed clear marks of impact, and many of the impact points showed imperceptible cracks.

Fortunately, Pan Qing encouraged him from time to time in his sea of ​​consciousness: "This monster keeps using words to undermine your confidence, which shows that it is a person who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Keep fighting it for as long as possible. I want to see if I can figure out its identity and origin and find its weakness."

"Hey, little Guqiu Yi, just accept your fate!"

The monster pounced forward again with a cruel and strange laugh.

While using his powerful ghost claws and long sword to violently attack Qing Yi, he constantly used various words to undermine Qing Yi's confidence.

As the number of collisions increased, Qing Yi's heart became heavier and heavier, and the sword in his hand began to break into pieces.

The long sword sharpened by the sharp teeth of a fourth-grade crocodile dragon is undoubtedly strong and sturdy, but facing the strength of a second-grade judge, it seems so fragile.

If Qing Yi had not carefully carved a large number of rune formations last night, the sword would have been shattered in the first round of battle. But even so, he still couldn't hold on for too long.

"Pan Qing, haven't you figured out the origin of this monster yet?" Qing Yi shouted frantically in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Almost at the same time, Pan Qing also said in his sea of ​​consciousness: "I know what it is. It is a ghost baby."
