Chapter 63 Control

Fang Chi began by explaining, "Everyone, stay together and pay close attention to anything containing water."

"Formation: Ah Yao at the head, I in the middle, the newcomers following me, and Ah Bing at the back."

"Let's go into the crowd and take a look. Let's go!"

""

Chen Yao, who was nicknamed "Farmer" by his classmates, agreed and then walked towards the village.

The others followed Fang Chi's instructions and went inside.

The white wolf looked around.

It's clear that this village is not far from being abandoned.

Although the buildings are not dilapidated, they are very old and worn.

Moreover, it's only 9 o'clock now, and there isn't even a convenience store on the street, let alone any entertainment venues.

The only ones who will stay here are the elderly.

The group walked through the dim streetlights, heading straight to the center of the village.

The most vivid thing here is the performance on the stage.

People swung their arms and jumped around while making babbling noises.

"What is that song? It's quite powerful."

The white wolf couldn't understand or comprehend it, but inexplicably felt that the scene and the people were exceptionally harmonious.

Others didn't really understand either.

Only Jingxi said calmly, "The 'Fate in the Painting' is only one-third complete. The protagonist outside the painting enters the painting to meet his lover."

While they were still discussing, Chen Yao had already walked over to the group of elderly people.

But none of the elderly people looked at him; they just stared blankly at the stage.

"Slap! Slap!"

Chen Yao clapped his hands, then shouted, "That's it! Everyone go home and get some sleep!"

'

"Go to sleep!"

'

"Go to sleep!"

'

The sound echoed through the village.

White Wolf and the others couldn't help but tilt their ears.

That's incredibly loud!

But the old people seemed not to hear at all.

Similarly, the stage was completely still, with the same fixed routine being performed in a rigid and predictable manner.

That's when everyone realized something was wrong.

"Teacher Fang, the water ghost you mentioned doesn't seem to have that kind of ability, does it?"

""

White Wolf no longer looked directly at the stands, only glancing at them out of the corner of his eye.

Fang Chi's expression remained relaxed: "So this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you: always be careful, there might be unexpected events."

Either that water ghost isn't as weak as I thought, or—"

He pointed his thumb toward the stage: "—This thing is another anomaly. Or perhaps it's both."

""

As Fang Chi finished speaking.

The elderly people slowly turned their heads together.

Under the dim red light, the scene was extremely eerie.

Fang Chi clapped his hands: "No matter what it is, prepare for battle!"

"Clang!"

'

White Wolf drew his sword directly.

The other students also struck a pose, but their faces showed obvious hesitation.

Jingxi then asked, "—What about the post-event review?"

"We are cultivators, our enemies are heretics, don't hold back!" Fang Chi sighed. "Post-mortem review is always better than post-mortem review, isn't it?"

In just a couple of sentences, the old people's movements began to become fast and strange.

They were like a combination of wild dogs and spiders, with their arms and legs spread wide, leaping towards the crowd at the slightest touch of the ground.

White Wolf did not let his guard down just because the other party was an old man.

He directly integrated the perception of the entire domain.

Within a three-meter radius of the body, all areas are under surveillance.

Before the old man rushed over, the white wolf noticed a spiritual force probing outside his body.

This fluctuation was extremely small, yet it quickly roamed around the body, as if searching for some weakness.

White Wolf, disregarding his attack, quickly alerted everyone: "Everyone, maintain the spiritual energy shield! Don't let it run dry! The enemy has hidden spiritual energy nearby!"

"Tsk! So this is how it controls the water content in the elderly's bodies? Interesting." Fang Chi casually offered a guess.

As far as the spiritual power of a third-tier cultivator is concerned, unless it is an extreme outburst of irrationality, the spiritual power shield will only be strengthened, not weakened.

But it's hard to say about second-tier cultivators.

Therefore, Fang Chi took the initiative to approach the elderly.

Then, kick!

Fang Chi was already extremely skilled at killing.

He didn't overuse his spiritual power, but just enough; with a single whip kick, he swept seven or eight people nearby into a bloody mess.

Then he stepped back without getting any liquid on him.

Watching the blood slowly fall to the ground and be absorbed by the dried soil.

Just a few more times and we can wipe out the enemies.

Fang Chi turned around: "Be clean and neat, avoid contact with liquids as much as possible, and then—"

He disappeared before he could finish speaking.

There was nothing there, as if Teacher Fang had never existed in the first place.

Everyone was shocked!

At this moment, Lu Bing, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "He has been locked in another space."

The students of Class Yichou looked at this "white man".

0

But he fell silent again.

Fortunately, Chen Yao, the "farmer," explained: "He also works with online spaces, so he's quite familiar with this."

White Wolf narrowed his eyes: "So there's another anomaly that can control space?"

Thinking of the things performed on the stage, Fang Chi might have been thrown into the "painting".

The elderly people grew closer and closer.

The white wolf glanced at his companions and stepped forward.

Once he decided to act, he had no qualms and slashed straight up with his longsword.

The Heavenly River Sword Manual is renowned for its speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

In a short while, everyone had fallen to the sword.

Just as the white wolf was about to walk back, he suddenly stopped.

He discovered that the broken edges were frozen solid.

White Wolf couldn't help but squeeze the hilt of his sword and sighed at Jing Xi, "What a generous gift!"

""

"Huh? You weren't locked up because you're not as strong as Teacher Fang?" Lu Kui forced a sarcastic remark first, then looked at the severed limbs scattered on the ground. "Is this all the enemy has to offer?"

"There are still quite a few left." White Wolf pointed his sword at the pile of old men. "These should at least be burned."

"And over there, there should be quite a bit of liquid left in there too." White Wolf pointed to the piles of leftover food in the banquet area. "This kind of enemy is really troublesome!"

"It's okay, let's start small!" Chen Yao smiled.

He took a lighter out of his pocket: "I brought a lighter this time. Next time you'll have to bring your own."

""

"Seriously, murder and arson—" Li Qi shook his head, raising his hands in the middle, "I'll help you cover up the trouble!"

""

Soon, all the corpses were burning.

Just as everyone's eyes were fixed on the banquet area, a bowl of soup suddenly stood up.

In just a moment, the oily liquid transformed into a middle-aged man that is very common on the street.

"I surrender! We're all under that thing's control now, we should cooperate!" the water ghost shouted, raising his hands.

"You can actually communicate? It seems you're an intelligent being. But you've harmed so many elderly people, and you still want to surrender?" Ji Huaiguang couldn't help but laugh.

White Wolf also smiled and sighed.

If the other party can really hide forever, there might still be a chance.

But since it was forced out, there's not much more to say.

The water ghost sneered, "I don't have that ability at all; it's just your own assumption. They're all long dead! They're just being kept alive by this stage!"

'

"At this point, what's the use of making excuses?" Lu Kui sneered back.

"Don't be like that, Teacher Fang might still be waiting for us to come and rescue her!" Chen Yao smiled innocently and looked at the water ghost. "Tell us everything you know."

"Sure!" The water ghost didn't haggle.

He began by saying, "When I arrived, these people were eating. I was starving, so I just sat down and ate with them. You wouldn't believe how good today's food was—"

The more White Wolf listened, the more uneasy he felt.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened: "Are you stalling for time?"

"Haha! Too late!" the water ghost laughed. "Stay and keep me company—"

Before the water ghost could finish speaking, the white wolf's longsword had already pierced its chest.

At the same time, Jingxi's palms were also imprinted on the water ghost's back.

The two reacted together, and the water ghost was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

But before everyone could relax, Lu Bing, who was standing not far away, frowned: "We're locked up here too."
