Just kill him with one sword, isn't that enough?

The Infant Spirit at the end of the corridor saw Li Chu walk out. Suddenly, it arched its body, its spine rising high, like an angered animal whose fierce nature exploded. Its pair of misty pupils glowed red.

The resentment of ordinary infant spirits is mostly directed at the mother, but this one should be targeting the father, hence its fiercer nature towards men.

Li Chu guessed silently.

Of course, that didn't matter. In any case, infant spirits, these pitiable and hateful malevolent entities, must not be allowed to live.

Early deliverance, early reincarnation.

All for the child's good...

Behind the window panes on both sides, countless eyes were hiding, secretly peeking at the outside situation.

Some cowardly ones had already been frightened unconscious, but many brave ones had witnessed the ghost's fierceness.

When Li Xinyi first came out, no one spoke. When Li Chu appeared, suddenly some girls couldn't help but shout: "Go Little Daoist Priest Li!"

Just after speaking, a thud was heard.

It seemed someone slapped her somewhere, afraid she'd provoke the ghost.

Li Chu heard it and nodded towards the sound source, politely saying: "Thanks."

The other girls heard this and couldn't hold back any longer. Suddenly many people shouted together.

"Go Little Daoist Priest Li!"

"Little Daoist Priest Li is the best!"

"Little Daoist Priest Li, I want to have your babies!"

"Hey, don't bring your personal agenda."

"Little Daoist Priest Li, don't be nervous. Win or lose, we love you!"

"..."

This gloomy corridor, with all lights extinguished, yin wind howling, and blood river flowing.

Suddenly, because of Li Chu's appearance, it entered a strange and heated atmosphere.

Li Chu could only nod generally: "Thanks, ladies."

Li Xinyi rubbed her forehead, her face full of black lines. "These people aren't afraid of death when they see handsome men? Or do they really not know how fierce infant spirits are?"

To make Li Chu more alert, she specially reminded him: "You must be careful. Infant spirits are different from ordinary vengeful spirits. Its blood river can taint magical artifacts. And every time it's harmed, the power of infant spirit blood increases. You must guard against its strength suddenly increasing!"

Li Chu looked at her, seeming to want to say something.

But before he could speak, the Infant Spirit opposite couldn't wait anymore.

The Sudden Noisy Sound Around Made It Feel, as if... it was being looked down upon?

I was abandoned by this world, hated, feared, I was deprived of the right to be born!

Now you won't even look at me.

Ah.

From this Moment On, I will make the world feel pain!

The Infant Spirit's Grudge Reached Its Peak Instantly, in extreme anger, it Rushed Forward Like A Beast Pouncing!

Rampage!

Accompanied by it, was a Blood River Vortex As Far As The Eye Could See.

Usually, facing a Vengeful Spirit's Rampage, even Cultivators Stronger Than It, can only Retreat Three Steps, dare not confront its edge.

In An Instant, only a sheet of blood remained in everyone's sight.

The scene suddenly fell silent, a moment later, only then did continuous screams sound out.

They worried about Li Chu's safety, and also their own safety. This Infant Spirit's Killing Qi is so heavy, if Li Chu fails to exorcise it, then no one here can escape!

But the screams only had time to let out a trace.

Then it was as if their mouths were blocked, and they couldn't scream anymore.

They didn't know what happened, only saw a more dazzling silver light, filling all the visible world.

Illuminating Mountains And Rivers.

Li Xinyi Stood Behind The Little Daoist Priest, and saw his actions clearly.

Simply Drew His Sword And Swung.

Sword Rises, Sword Falls.

No Different From Last Time.

As If It Was Really Just A Casual Slash.

Compared to the terrifying Blood River Vortex in front, his movements were as careless as waving away a fly.

But this sword, had Ten Thousand Sword Lights.

That Blood River, no matter how fierce, in front of this sword light, also became a clay chicken and pottery dog, and was instantly devoured and annihilated.

Like hot soup melting snow, it dissolved unreasonably.

In a flash of white light, the small black shadow survived for another moment.

But only for a moment.

Afterward, it too was annihilated within the Sword Light.

Completely annihilated.

Its resentment, its ferocity, its unwillingness, its rage...

All turned to dust.

The Sword Light vanished in an instant, and everything returned to calm, as if a vast expanse of white snow had fallen.

In the blink of an eye, the dust settled.

Li Chu calmly sheathed his sword, turned back, and finished his unfinished sentence.

"Why let it grow stronger? Just Kill It With One Sword?"

He clearly remembered that when playing games in the past, the best strategy against persistent characters who grew stronger the longer they fought was this.

Just finish them off with a high burst of damage in a short time.

Speaking of which, since Li Xinyi knew the Infant Spirit's characteristics, why didn't she do that?

Strange.

"Uh... Heh heh."

Li Xinyi's mind was blanking. Hearing this, she forced a faint smile onto her stunned face.

She had expected Li Chu to eliminate the Infant Spirit, but she never imagined it would be such a casual scene.

Yes, if it grew stronger when injured, why not just kill it with one sword?

What you said makes so much sense.

Heh heh.

If anyone else had asked, she would have definitely said:

Is this a question a person could ask?

But...

After Li Chu unleashed this sword strike, Li Xinyi suddenly felt that his words weren't so out of place...

Perhaps he truly believed that?

A burst of noise from the surroundings startled her. The other good girls, seeing Li Chu resolve the fight with such a dazzling sword strike, immediately let out cheers.

Especially Li Chu after his sword strike, his clothes slightly disheveled, his face clear and refined, exuding an ethereal and transcendent aura.

He was practically a celestial being descended to earth!

Who wouldn't be moved by the thought of such a person protecting them?

Seeing them about to surge forward, surely to surround Li Chu, and perhaps even plant kisses upon him! Recalling that terrifying scene, Li Xinyi immediately pulled herself together.

She called out, "Don't move yet! Stay calm! Mei Xiang's vengeful spirit hasn't appeared."

"Right, everyone calm down!" Spring Third Madam's voice also rang out, restraining the enthusiasm of the good girls.

Li Chu also felt as if he had narrowly escaped a crisis and quickly retreated into the room.

Inside the room, Zhao Liangcai cowered in a corner and asked nervously, "Wasn't that Mei Xiang who just came?"

"No," Li Xinyi said. "It was the infant spirit she was carrying... your child."

"Ah."

Zhao Liangcai's expression trembled. For a long time, he couldn't speak, his thoughts unknown.

Afterward, everyone waited together for Mei Xiang's vengeful spirit to appear.

Vengeful spirits do not possess complete intelligence, nor do they have the mentality to flee upon seeing an enemy who is too strong. Therefore, as long as her resentment remained here, she would definitely come.

They waited until dawn.

As the rooster crowed, Wang Longqi, who had slept through the night, opened his eyes, yawned, and looked at the people around him, groggily asking, "Was it successful?"

When it came to exorcism, he had absolute confidence in Li Chu.

Zhao Liangcai, with two large dark circles under his eyes, said blankly, "Mei Xiang didn't come."

"Hmm?" Wang Longqi rubbed his chin in confusion. "Could she have had other lovers?"

"Impossible. She's already got you and me hooked; why would she need to seduce anyone else?" Zhao Liangcai shook his head.

But soon, Zhou Dafu rushed over.

Seeing the sweat on Zhou Dafu's forehead, Li Xinyi had a bad premonition.

"What's wrong?"

"It's bad, Lord Li. Two people died in a household on the west side of town," Zhou Dafu said. "Preliminary deduction... it was the work of a vengeful spirit."
