Chapter 245 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 27 (1/2)

“So what if it’s against the rules?” Shi Sheng stepped forward, blocking Feng Jin behind her. “Don’t like it? Come and fight! Winner gets to say whatever they like!”

Xiao Bai was so terrified by Shi Sheng’s imposing aura that he began to tremble. He shifted to the side…

An Su moved behind Feng Jin. ‘The atmosphere isn’t quite right… It’ll be safer behind Mr Feng.’

The stunned exorcists, “…”

‘This ghost is very arrogant! We won’t be able to call ourselves exorcists if we don’t fight her!’

“One at a time, or all of you together?” Shi Sheng calmly and slowly drew her sword.

Her domineering posture and attitude really made them wish they could pummel her into a crack in the earth.

‘What a waste of such a pretty face…’

“I’ll go first.” The dark shorty from before stepped up. He also held a sword, but it was made of peach wood[1]. He walked towards Shi Sheng and pointed it at her.

“Evil creature, today I shall enact justice on behalf of the heavens…”

Shi Sheng rolled her eyes before speeding over to Dark Shorty, cutting down his peach wood sword in an instant. Unsurprisingly, it was sliced in half and fell to the ground with a loud smack.

A strange silence fell. Dark Shorty’s expression was very colourful. He hadn’t even finished speaking, yet she attacked him!

‘Don’t you know the rules?!’

“You cheated!” Dark Shorty spat.

“How so?” Shi Sheng raised her brow and looked at him mockingly.

“I didn’t yell start yet! What is this if not cheating?”

Shi Sheng’s expression was filled with ridicule as she scoffed, “Don’t you know what I am?”

‘I’m(bbb) a ghost! A ghost, got it? Why do I have to wait for you to yell ‘start’? The fight already started the moment you stepped forward, but you just had to rattle off a bunch of nonsense. Was I(bbb) supposed to wait for you to finish? Idiot!’

Dark Shorty had just barely reacted before he was sent flying from Shi Sheng’s kick.

“Shameless! Despicable…” Dark Shorty vehemently cursed Shi Sheng as he was helped off the ground by his comrades.

“Thanks for the compliments,” Shi Sheng calmly replied once he’d finished his long string of insults.

‘Pfft— This ghost wants to ascend the heavens ah?! Her face is as thick as the corners of a city wall! And it’s the type that can’t be broken either!’

“Who else?” Shi Sheng arrogantly swept her sword towards the group of exorcists. “It’s too troublesome for you lot to come one by one; so just come at me together!”

Feng Jin was facepalming. ‘Just how violent is this ghost of mine? She used to just break doors, but now she’s even starting to break people?’

“Feng Jin, are you really going to allow her to do whatever she wants?!” Someone suddenly pulled the crowd’s focus back to Feng Jin.

This was their real goal. They absolutely refused to acknowledge Feng Jin as a grandmaster.

“As an exorcist, you are consorting with these types of evil creatures! What face do you have to see your ancestors?!”

“You have to give us a satisfactory explanation!”

Shi Sheng stabbed the ground in irritation as all sorts of bloody scenarios played out in her head.

“Feng Jin, as long as you personally end this ghost, we can let you off this time. Otherwise, we can only strip you of your status as an exorcist…”

Shi Sheng looked at Feng Jin. His expression right now was like when they first met—emotionless and unreadable, and she was unable to decipher what he was feeling or thinking.

He lifted his head slightly and their gazes met. The dark clouds in his eyes dispersed as his lips slowly lifted. The sun slowly rose in the sky and sunlight fell on him, making him appear as if he was glowing.

It was a stunning scene.
