32: Gui Da Yan

"Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Hu Liena hurriedly came to Su Wen's side.

Seeing him shake his head,

She breathed a small sigh of relief.

Then she looked at Yan,

And said angrily:

"Yan, what are you doing? Why did you attack my Senior Brother?"

Yan had just clutched his chest and climbed up from the ground.

Hearing Hu Liena's concern for that man, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The one who had been knocked back was himself, not him.

Now being blamed on top of that, Yan felt extremely aggrieved.

"Nana!"

Xie Yue looked at Su Wen: "You say he is your Senior Brother?"

"Brother, you're here too!"

Hu Liena only just noticed that Xie Yue was also nearby.

Xie Yue: "..."

Hu Liena spoke somewhat proudly: "Of course! Senior Brother is the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple, Nana's Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother Su Wen!"

Yan was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected the guy in front of him to also be a Disciple of the Supreme Pontiff.

Hearing Hu Liena's tone, Yan felt a bit jealous: "Even if he is the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple, he can't bully you!"

Hu Liena was displeased: "Nana wasn't bullied."

"But I clearly saw him take you..." Just as Yan was about to speak, Xie Yue interrupted him: "Yan, perhaps there's a misunderstanding. A Disciple of the Supreme Pontiff wouldn't do such a thing, but his age..."

"Xie Yue, you're just too kind!"

Yan was extremely annoyed that his friend was actually speaking up for the other guy. Thinking of how close Hu Liena had just been with Su Wen, and even mentioning some "treasure"... the bitterness in his heart grew stronger, and he looked directly at Su Wen:

"Since you're a Spirit Master, let's settle this the Spirit Master way. If you win, I'll apologize; if you lose, stay away from Nana."

"Awoo—"

While Yan was speaking, Su Wen unwrapped a candy and gently placed it in Hu Liena's mouth.

Hu Liena's face flushed red as she cooperatively bit down on the candy.

While Yan and Xie Yue were dazed, Su Wen yawned and turned to leave.

Hu Liena followed behind, not forgetting to wave to Xie Yue: "Brother, Senior Brother and I are leaving first!"

*Crack!*

Yan's fists suddenly clenched, veins bulging on them.

A burst of flame suddenly erupted from his body.

Provocation!

He's provoking me!

"You brat!"

Yan roared, and a massive phantom of a Lava Giant appeared behind him.

That Spirit was crimson all over, with magma-like patterns flowing across its body; the scorching heat made one's heart tremble.

"Yan, don't do anything reckless!"

Seeing this, Xie Yue hurriedly tried to stop him. Attacking randomly on the streets of Spirit City would lead to punishment, let alone against a Disciple of the Supreme Pontiff.

Yan ignored him and lunged forward like an arrow released from a bow, charging at Su Wen.

*Buzz!*

The red oiled paper umbrella floated behind Su Wen.

As the red umbrella opened,

A gust of yin wind blew.

The surroundings were shrouded in Yin Evil Qi.

A strange woman's laughter echoed from all directions.

The passersby who were originally watching the show felt their hearts tighten inexplicably.

They felt a chill all over.

Just then, two iron chains burning with Nether Flames erupted from the ground.

And attacked towards Yan.

"First Soul Skill: Hell Magma Burst!"

Seeing this, while Yan dodged backward, the yellow spirit ring beneath his feet flickered.

Scorching magma, like a crimson fire dragon, gushed out from underground. The earth was dyed red as the high temperature corroded everything nearby, sweeping toward Su Wen.

The figure of the Ghost Bride appeared. Her red wedding dress and eerie, ancient state made everyone around feel astonished.

Especially since her feet didn't touch the ground, it gave off an even weirder sensation.

The spirit ring beneath the Ghost Bride's feet lit up, and the iron chains in her hands grew rapidly, quickly weaving a defensive barrier in place.

The scorching magma and Nether Flames collided, producing a loud boom.

The iron chains burst out from the flames, passing through the magma to bind Yan. His expression changed drastically as he hurriedly dodged.

But more iron chains emerged from the ground, constantly forcing Yan into a corner.

The Ghost Bride's laughter accompanied the chain attacks, echoing continuously like a deathly whisper. It was filled with a deep chill that struck directly at the Soul, making one's scalp tingle.

"Mommy, there's a ghost!"

A small child hugged an adult's leg, face full of fear, his small body shaking uncontrollably.

"Not watching anymore, not watching! I just wanted to see some drama, why is it so scary!"

Watching the Ghost Bride float back and forth and occasionally let out strange laughter, those afraid of ghosts didn't dare stay any longer.

Only the bold ones felt curious: "Is this that kid's Spirit? She's still got some charm!"

"Ah, damn it!"

The iron chains bound Yan tightly, and the dark-green Nether Flames burned him so much that he couldn't help but let out a pained groan.

"You... are you human or a ghost?"

Yan was tied up and thrown to the ground.

He endured the pain, but looking at the Ghost Bride, his heart also trembled with fear.

If she were human, how could she make such an intoxicatingly creepy laugh?

"Hongdou!"

Su Wen reached out, and the Ghost Bride instantly turned into a cloud of red mist, floating back into the red oiled paper umbrella.

The red umbrella landed in his palm and then vanished.

"You can't even beat my dowry... ahem, my little follower. Go back and train some more!"

Su Wen saw more and more people gathering. Afraid of attracting too much attention, he didn't interact further and simply left after tossing out those words.

However, he was also quite shocked in his heart; so Hongdou could laugh.

Although it was a bit... This was also the first time Su Wen had truly witnessed Hongdou's combat power.

Although the First Soul Skill was Binding, she used the iron chains with incredible versatility.

Molding them into whatever shape she desired.

"Yan, are you alright?"

Xie Yue breathed a sigh of relief seeing Yan released.

But seeing him in tatters, with his skin burnt like strips of meat, his heart was also shaken.

Yan had the Flame Lord Spirit; logically, he should be immune to a certain degree of heat and shouldn't be easily burned.

Xie Yue was equally shocked; he had never seen Su Wen's Spirit before.

There was an umbrella, and a woman dressed in red.

Which one was his Spirit?

..."Senior Brother, Hongdou is so amazing."

"Senior Brother is even more amazing!"

Hu Liena followed beside him, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Wen.

Yan's Spirit had awakened a year earlier than theirs.

He was about to reach Two Rings, yet Senior Brother could leapfrog... No, Senior Brother didn't even make a move, and Yan had already lost.

"I hope today's events don't spread, especially not into the Spirit Hall."

Compared to Hu Liena, Su Wen was a bit worried.

"Why?" Hu Liena blinked in confusion.

"If rumors spread in Spirit City that I have an improper relationship with a ghost, then the rumors in the Spirit Hall will become fact!"

"Heehee!"

"Let's go. First, we need to buy some things to burn for them when we get back."

"Send them? Who are you sending them to, Senior Brother? The Teacher?"

"To those below."

Hu Liena instinctively looked at her feet but found nothing, the confusion in her eyes deepening.

Su Wen didn't reply; he was also wondering: are there any Paper Effigy Shops in Spirit City?
