I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

"I'm fine, thanks to the cloak you gave me, brother. If it weren't for it, I probably would have been dead."

Hua Baoyan, as expected of Hua Rong's sister, waved her hand magnanimously, her face showing a hint of familiarity.

It aggravated the soreness in my shoulder, making me grimace.

Seeing that she was indeed alright, Ximen Qing was relieved and asked Ximen Da, who was walking over, "Father, how are you?"

"Hehe, your armor is really strong! When that fairy attacked just now, I thought I was going to die."

Simon Da shrugged.

However, as he spoke, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"The steward and the third brother were all trampled to death by that fox. They followed me all my life, traveling all over the country, and in the end, they died in their own home! My son, I can't swallow this!"

Simonda's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He was someone who could survive in the environment of the Naked Cult and even get close to the female elder.

How could it be a creature confined to a pond?

So what if he's a True Person of the Primordial Yin Spirit? Ximen Da has seen him before!

"Father, I'll handle this..."

"Junior brother, look! The tower is moving!"

At this moment, Zhou Qingyun, who was in the distance, suddenly looked at the three-story stone tower standing in the same spot and exclaimed in surprise.

Ximen Qing looked across at the other side in disbelief.

This stone pagoda, as the magic weapon of Chao Gai, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, is even more powerful than his golden brick.

The more magical power he poured in, the greater the force. With the enhancement of his fifth level of acquired magical power, he possessed immense strength.

How could that fox demon possibly escape?!

Ximen Qing couldn't help but stick his head out to peek around.

The stone tower did indeed move, but what emerged was not the fox demon's physical body, but a wisp of green smoke, which then transformed into an illusory three-tailed fox in the night.

Oh no, this boss has a second phase!?

"A spirit of the underworld?!"

Ximen Qing exclaimed in surprise.

He truly hadn't expected that this fox demon was actually a Xiantian!

No wonder he was able to escape his stone tower suppression!

"It really is innate! Didn't I just tell you?" Zhou Qingyun said anxiously.

"You really don't have any!" Ximen Qing shrugged.

The two men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Unable to bear being ignored any longer, Bai Heng enveloped his fragile Yin spirit with surging demonic power and charged towards them.

"You've ruined my body! Kid, your death is near!"

Although his physical body was beyond saving when Yan Chixia struck it, he was still quite heartbroken when it was truly destroyed.

Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. I can't afford to offend Yan Chixia, but I can't afford to offend you, Ximen Qing?

New and old grudges, settle them all at once!

You're going to kill me!

"Wait a minute!!!"

At this moment, Ximen Qing wore a confident smile on his face.

He even had the leisure to pull out a folding fan from behind his back, open it with a snap, and fan himself in front of his chest.

Even Zhou Qingyun and Ximen Da, who were standing nearby, were a little stunned, wondering what Ximen Qing was planning to do.

Bai Heng also slammed on the brakes, fearing that Ximen Qing might pull out another magic weapon.

There's a precedent for this; the people at the city gate didn't see any stone pagoda or other treasures in his hands! And Yan'er didn't mention it either!

But now, it's his turn to be hit, so he's thrown out!

Therefore, Bai Heng, with a cautious mindset, carefully observed the person opposite him.

The three-tailed fox, transformed from a Yin spirit, lurked in the air, rising and falling, its eyes tinged with red.

Seeing that Bai Heng did not rush at him immediately, Ximen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the stone tower failed to suppress the fox demon's spirit, he hadn't originally included the magic weapon's effects in his plans.

His killer move is still that same skill—

[A domineering aura (fake)]

This skill, taken from Zhou Tong of the Little Tyrant game, is not particularly noteworthy in the game; at most, it applies a debuff to the opponent's hero card.

But in the real world, try to imagine a person accumulating fear over and over again.

What an incredibly powerful ability!

All he needed to do was make Bai Heng on the other side distrust power.

Then he's already halfway to victory!

Just do it!

"Ahem, do you really think that's all I've got? So what if I'm a Yin spirit? I, Ximen Qing, would never do something so unprepared! Come on! If you have the guts, kill me!"

Ximen Qing opened his arms, his face showing a unique composure.

Bai Heng, on the other side, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had already wavered.

The scene froze.

Zhou Qingyun and Hua Baoyan, who were standing nearby, also realized what was going on.

This scene is all too familiar; it was just like the last time I killed Qing'an monk at the city gate.

Could this be Ximen Qing's trump card?

Recalling Qing'an Monk's inexplicable madness, Zhou Qingyun thought about it more and more and felt that it was possible!

With a determined look, she joined forces with Ximen Qing, stepping forward and saying, "You're right! Last time, that monk Qing'an was killed by my junior brother! You fox demon, with only your lingering spirit, even if you manage to escape the magic weapon by sheer luck, what can you do?"

The two's determination left Nie Xiaoqian and Ximenda, who were standing behind them, looking at each other in bewilderment.

ha?

Does Ximen Qing have another plan?

How come I didn't know?

However, Bai Heng was already starting to believe it, and his gaze towards Ximen Qing held a hint of something indescribable.

Although it was fleeting, the skill's judgment allowed Ximen Qing to capture it accurately.

That's the smell of fear!

He actually succeeded in extorting money! If he weren't maintaining his outward air of superiority, Ximen Qing would have burst out laughing.

No, strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

Add fuel to the fire!

Ximen Qing immediately stepped forward, feigning eagerness, and said, "Alright, time's up! Since you won't make a choice, I'll choose for you!"

After he finished speaking, golden light shone from his waist.

On the other side, Bai Heng felt even more hesitant. He was not a man of strong will, otherwise he would not have been able to escape from Yan Chixia's hands so many times.

He relied on his skill of admitting defeat and running away!

However, at this very moment, it seemed as if fate was playing a cruel joke on Ximen Qing.

Changting, who had been knocked unconscious by the fox demon, let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes, which met Bai Heng's retreating gaze.

Even though only her soul remained, Bai Heng's gaze towards her was still filled with infatuation.

Yes!

Ah Wu is watching, I can't back down!

No man would let the woman he loves see his defeat!

So, Bai Heng moved!

The cries of ghosts and howls of foxes! A gust of eerie wind, carrying demonic power, rushed toward the opposite side.

This time, even Ximen Qing couldn't withstand it and directly faced the counterattack of a primordial fox demon spirit!

The "Iron Body" passive skill has its limits. It can mitigate most attacks at the acquired level, but it is powerless against attacks that touch the soul.

The biting cold froze Ximen Qing's mind; every inch of his flesh and soul felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Pain to the bone marrow!

Even worse, he heard a roar that was inches away—

"You bastard!!! You lied to me!!!"

[Aura of Domination (Fake)] Successfully detected. The opponent saw through your bluster and gained the Fury buff!

Holy crap! This is really Barbie Q now.
