Chapter 272: Die

Chapter 272 Death

"Smaller...." The waiter's trembling voice instantly shrouded the entire room in an eerie atmosphere.

Broken down, he didn't bother fastening his belt, kneeling directly on the ground, bowing his head repeatedly in terror towards the surroundings.

"Grandpa Ghost!! It wasn't me who wanted to say it, he forced me to say it!! You have your grievance against someone specific, please do not steal my manhood!!"

"If you snatch away my manhood, you get to reincarnate! But I won't be able to reincarnate and become a lonely wandering ghost!!"

His words frightened Gao Zhijian so much he immediately covered his own with both hands in panic, while Li Huowang also instinctively looked down.

"Could that so-called man-stealing ghost have arrived?" Li Huowang, whose face was very ugly, quickly scanned the entire room again.

With Li Huowang's keen perception now, if there truly was something in this room watching him, he would definitely feel it.

But now he did not feel anyone's gaze, which meant two things: either the ghost deliberately avoided looking at him, or this thing had no eyes at all.

"Invisible evil spirit? Could it be the kind from the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month again?" Facing this sudden unknown enemy, Li Huowang dared not be careless.

In this haunted place, Li Huowang did not believe that an evil spirit capable of plaguing a region could only slowly steal from others.

Without anyone in the room noticing, Li Huowang's colored ethereal form and invisible physical form had quietly separated, and his right hand had already gripped the sword hilt behind him.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became exceptionally oppressive, just as Li Huowang focused all his attention on the empty surroundings.

The waiter prostrate on the ground suddenly stood up and rushed towards the door beside him.

"Could this thing possess people?!"

When Li Huowang instinctively raised his sword to stab the waiter's back, Gao Zhijian on the side raised the stone slab on his chest, accompanied by a clang, blocking Li Huowang's sword.

In the blink of an eye, the waiter had already rushed out the door.

Li Huowang's murderous gaze instantly shifted from the waiter to Gao Zhijian.

"Is this thing so difficult to deal with? Did it occupy Gao Zhijian's body so quickly?"

Holding the stone slab, Gao Zhijian saw Li Huowang's eyes full of malice glaring at him, and immediately waved his hands frantically in panic. "I... I... am... me. I... I... I... I am Zhijian."

However, Li Huowang did not fully trust him at this moment, staring at the other's honest face. "You say you are you? Judge by deeds not thoughts, Gao Zhijian would never block my sword! Who exactly are you?"

"Li... Li... Li Senior Brother, that person hasn't... hasn't... hasn't... hasn't been possessed by an evil spirit... up... up... upon..."

"If he wasn't possessed, why run suddenly?"

Li Huowang looked at Gao Zhijian whose eyes were clear, thought quickly, and pointed outside with the sword in his hand. "Fine, since you say you are the real Gao Zhijian, throw the Heavenly Book in your hand aside, walk in front, go find that waiter."

That sudden action of his was very strange; regardless of whether he was possessed by an evil spirit, he must figure out what was going on.

After Gao Zhijian threw everything on his body inside the room, under Li Huowang's coercion, he came out of the room to find the waiter who had suddenly fled.

Finding him was simple; he had just wet his pants from being scared by Li Huowang, just follow the urine marks on the ground all the way.

The urine hadn't spread far, winding around within the inn, Huowang finally saw the waiter without pants on the beam of the inn kitchen.

Rough hemp rope went around his neck, hanging him up entirely, his whole body swaying slightly left and right accompanied by creaking sounds.

From the half winter melon lying askew on the ground, it was clearly his own doing.

Because he was hanged to death, the waiter's tongue was pulled very long, his face turned purple-black, staring straight at Li Huowang with a terrifying appearance.

"He... he... he..." Gao Zhijian pointed at the waiter swinging in the air with a shocked face, momentarily not knowing what to say.

Just a moment ago a fine person, suddenly hanged to death, this was too sudden.

Li Huowang observed the waiter's eyes filled with fear and despair, and the hand firmly grasping his own manhood, turning his head to look at Gao Zhijian on the side.

"You are right, he was not controlled by an evil spirit, this kid, to avoid never being reborn after death, decided to reincarnate himself while he was still alive."

Speaking of it, what killed him was not some manhood-stealing ghost, but his own fear.

Li Huowang, holding his sword, slowly stood in the kitchen spinning around, searching for the so-called ghost.

He had encountered many evil spirits in the past, but never once was he unable to start like this time.

Not even having seen one face, a person had already died.

Li Huowang lowered his gaze, staring at the waiter's manhood, finding it relatively small.

"Daoist, what do we do now? Not even knowing where the other is, you're going to fall flat on your face!" The monk's expression was very panicked, as if truly anxious for Li Huowang.

Li Huowang glanced at him, speaking in a low voice: "Don't panic, since that thing spreads through speech, then it is currently only targeting me and Gao Zhijian, others are temporarily safe, and with my body, wanting to shrink me to death is too early yet, as for Gao Zhijian... Gao Zhijian is fine too."

"Li... Li... Li Senior Brother, wha... wha... what do we do?"

Gao Zhijian, who always reacted slowly, seemed panicked now, he pulled open his pants, reaching out to pull nervously, afraid that thing would slip into his belly unnoticed.

Li Huowang standing in place looked around, the kitchen that should have been very normal now appeared exceptionally terrifying in his eyes. Chili peppers, cleavers, cutting boards, firewood, danger seemed hidden behind every single thing.

Li Huowang pulled open his pants and looked inside, instantly relaxing, no change for now.

It seemed this shrinking of the yang was not done in one go, but had a gradual process, he still had time to think of a way.

"Don't panic, as long as we know from the root where this thing comes from, what weaknesses it has, surely we can resolve the situation!"

Li Huowang thrust the long sword in his hand towards his back, turned and walked towards the inn.

"Gao Zhijian, watch the inn! Make everyone else stay put honestly, don't run around, don't tell anyone about this matter, I'll go try to drag that hiding thing out completely!"

"Daoist, where are you going?" The monk, half his body stuck in the wall, asked confusedly.

"Since knowing everyone in Pi County is equally a victim, they are on our side now, since that's the case there's no need to hide, to deal with that thing, I need the magistrate of Pi County to help me!"
