Chapter 30 Bad Luck
With the bonus of two magical instruments that matched his destiny, Xu Shanshan's originally gloomy face began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This magical scene instantly dispelled the doubts in Jiashan and Chi Jiangdong's hearts.

It seems that she did not lie this time, and this method can save her.

"No matter what you do, it's useless!"

Master Wu was like a sneaky and complacent mouse standing nearby. He enjoyed seeing their dying struggles, which gave him a sense of revenge.

In particular, he was certain that he could kill his enemies with his own hands.

He threw a dead cat into the battle from his black cloak.

The dead cat's eyes had been dug out, its teeth had been smashed, and its stomach had been ripped open. It looked like a very miserable death.

When the dead cat fell bloody into the sky lantern array, the color of the skull lights around it began to change. The fluorescent green gradually deepened and turned into a dark red, like the thick mucus flowing out of a rotting corpse, which was both disgusting and terrifying.

When the resentment took on a tangible form, they only felt as if they heard a shrill cat cry, long and sharp, and their heads were swollen, and their consciousness began to become unclear.

At the same time, an inexplicable feeling of irritability and anger arose in my heart.

"What does he want to do?"

Chi Jiangdong frowned tightly, trying hard to control his mind, but he felt that it would not be good to continue like this.

He looked at Xu Shanshan, and her past deeds kept surging in his mind. The more he looked, the more hateful she seemed to him!
Xu Shanshan was not affected. She guessed, "It is nothing more than strengthening the evil nature of the formation and accelerating our demise."

Seeing that she was calm and composed, Chi Jiangdong always felt that she must have a way, but was just hiding it.

"You are much better now. Can you break this ghost formation?"

"It should be... not difficult." She stroked the rosary on her wrist that was filled with warm purple aura.

"Do you understand?" Jiashan looked at her expression.

Xu Shanshan said honestly: "It's the first time I've seen you."

Upon hearing this, Chi Jiangdong's face turned green: "It's a matter of life and death, and you're still here joking with us?"

Seeing that he was really anxious, Xu Shanshan put away her distracted look, considering his generosity in giving her the magic weapon without her having to spend any effort.

"However, as long as the person who set up the formation is killed, I believe the formation will be broken by itself."

Chi Jiangdong had thought so before, but they were trapped in the Sky Lantern Formation and couldn't even touch the evil master. How could they kill him?
Her method was just as Jiashan had expected. She was direct and straightforward. She killed the man immediately. She was decisive and straightforward, and never took any roundabout ways.

"What are you going to do?"

She showed a meaningful smile on her face: "Just... do it."

A small paper figure had been attached to Master Wu's shoulder at some point, and it stood up shakily. It was as light as a handful of air, making it impossible to guard against it and to notice it at all.

Xu Shanshan moved his fingers slightly, and it pounced forward like a mischievous boy, and with a "snap" it stuck tightly to Master Wu's mouth and nose.

Master Wu's sinister and pleased expression froze, and he immediately had difficulty breathing. He didn't know what was blocking his mouth and nose, and could only scratch around in panic.

"woo woo woo woo--"

What is it? !

But no matter how hard he tried, even though his face was covered in blood from his nails, he still couldn't pull off the thing that was covering his mouth and nose.

He rolled on the ground, and it was unclear whether he was asking for help or in pain. He reached one hand into the sky lantern. As time passed, his face turned blue and purple, his eyes bulged, and he eventually suffocated to death.

As soon as Master Wu died, the paper figurine spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into ashes.

"Is that your paper man? Why can the paper man move and kill people?" Chi Jiangdong was dumbfounded.

She said casually, "It's just some tricks of charlatans."

Chi Jiangdong didn't believe it. He had seen many quacks. The previous "Xu Shanshan" was just that. He was all talk and no action, a complete liar. But why did she suddenly become smart now?

Could it be that... the double blow of her master's death and the breakup of her love made her determined to start a new life, and by the way, opened up all the extraordinary meridians in her body?

So weird.

It was so strange... He even suspected that she was a reborn ghost, and was not the original Xu Shanshan at all. No, he had to find a way to test her!

Did he know that there is a method of changing faces called disguise in this world, which can make the fake look real?

But for now, he had to wait until it was safe. He thought that after Master Wu died, the Sky Lantern Formation would naturally be broken, but he found that nothing had changed.

"Why hasn't the formation been broken yet?!"

Xu Shanshan was silent for a moment.

She has always lived in seclusion in a high temple, a person who is out of touch with the world, and has never dealt with evil teachers from the outside world.

But I don’t know that these inconspicuous little formations can still exist even if people die?
Facing a pair of eyes like angry stars, and a pair of eyes that are expectant and waiting for Jia.

For the first time in his life, Xu Shanshan felt a little pressure of conscience.

"Shan, you just took someone's magic weapon. If you can't save them, will they want to go back?" Maomao said nervously.

Xu Shanshan: "...That's impossible."

But to be on the safe side, she took it seriously and threw Maomao directly out of the formation. It flew out with a whoosh like an angry bird.

With its head pointed up and its wings folded together, it spun back and forth, and with its mighty power, it overturned all the skulls outside.

The sky lantern formation was destroyed and the natural formation technique collapsed.

Jiashan and Chi Jiangdong were both stunned.

"When did you raise such a fierce bird?"

No, why can this bird break through the formation and go outside?

Once the sky lantern formation that bound them was broken, the light around them suddenly dimmed. Chi Jiangdong tried to move freely, but suddenly, he stepped on something extremely sharp.

Xu Shanshan heard him hiss and felt something was wrong with his feet. He looked closely and his face turned cold.

Jiashan noticed that she looked upset and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Shanshan didn't answer him, but only asked Chi Jiangdong: "Have you always been lucky?"

Chi Jiangdong endured the pain and looked at her strangely: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that for the next period of time, you'd better stay at home and rest your mind, and don't go out easily."

This Master Wu should have come from an evil sect. After his death, his body instantly "withered" as if it had been drained of energy, and all his cultivation was taken away.

This means that he had been cursed a long time ago, and it was his own will.

The thing Chi Jiangdong stepped on just now is called "Grudge Bone". It is an evil weapon that was made by breaking off a bone when Master Wu was alive and then refining it.

If he died, this piece of finger bone would haunt the person who killed him like a vengeful spirit.

She has now been locked by Master Wu's "finger bones".

He would refine "bones of resentment" probably because he believed that if anything happened to him, the evil sect would come out to avenge him.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the evil forces will come to look for trouble soon.

As for Chi Jiangdong... he was quite unlucky as he happened to step on the "Bone of Resentment".

Originally, their spirits and vitality were damaged in the sky lanterns, and their five prosperity had entered a period of decline. Their luck and health would be low for a period of time. What happened was that he was also invaded by the Yin Qi of the "Resentful Bones"...

Jiashan asked in confusion: "Why?"

Chi Jiangdong also looked completely bewildered, not understanding the seriousness of the situation.

Xu Shanshan tried not to sound scary and said, "Because for the next period of time, you will be...very unlucky."

Chi Jiangdong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked in confusion: "Unlucky? Why is it unlucky? How unlucky is it?"
