Chapter Twenty-Four: Change

  After hearing Suns words, Xiao He Shangs face showed a joyful expression. Although Sun only hinted at it, thinking about the things buried underground in the prison yard, Old Xiao had already made up his mind, and that was at least two taels of gold. Because he couldnt speak openly, the old man kept making hand gestures behind the backs of several people including Xi Men Qian, signaling Yang Xiao to quickly understand this person named Luo Ben.

  Looking at Liu Chengs already shriveled mouth, Luo Ben took a deep breath and ignored Yang Xiao, directly walking towards Sun Baozi with a swagger. However, he only took a few steps before stopping abruptly in a strange manner. It was strange because one of Luo Bens legs had already stepped out, but it didnt touch the ground, keeping him in a golden rooster independent pose.

  Just a few meters behind Luos body, Yang Xiao was already standing here. He was still smiling at Luo Ben, who had been beaten to the point where his original appearance could no longer be seen. If someones angle of view was good and they looked carefully, they would see that the searchlight on top of the prison was shining down on Luo Bens shadow, making it very long, with the shadow extending from his feet all the way to Yang Xiaos feet.

  Yang Xue stepped on Luo Bens shadow, walking forward step by step. Luo Ben still maintained his previous posture, and except for his eyeballs that could move randomly, the rest of his body couldnt even move a little finger. Although Yang Xue was getting closer and closer to him, Luo Ben had already begun to feel his body start to cool down. In Yang Xues eyes, he was now no different from a dead person.

  As Yang Xiao was still three or four meters away from Luo Ben, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, let out a sigh, and looked as if he wanted to say something, but the words had already reached his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed them back down.

  At this time, Yang Xiaos whole body began to emit a misty air, which slowly condensed into a human shape around him. At first, the human-shaped mist was blurry, but as soon as all the mist on Yang Xiaos body was emitted and condensed, the misty figure began to become clearer and clearer. After a moment, this human-shaped mist had already taken on a clear face and even hair that could be seen distinctly. It looked like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

  The old mans body was wrapped in black armor, with a hairpin on his head and a sharpened bone of some unknown beast inserted into the hairpin. This style is modern for people. After the old man appeared, he maintained a posture, bowing his head to look at the ground, his body motionless.

  "Red Sky——" Luo Ben was like having eyes in the back of his head, and although he had his back to Yang Xiao and this middle-aged old man, he still quickly said out the old mans name. Before Luo Ben spoke, Yang Xiao made a few strange hand gestures, it seemed that he intentionally withdrew his technique, wanting Luo Ben to say something else in the end.

  When Luo Ben said the two words "Chi Tian", everyone behind him, including Xiao He and others, except for Sun Pengzi, involuntarily took a few steps back. Sun Pengzi looked at them in confusion and asked Xiao He: "Master Xiao, be careful not to bump into the wall. Im not saying it, but whats with Chi Tian? Just hearing its name makes you all retreat in fear."

  "Red Heaven - the first ghost in the Night Walkers Ghosts." Ximen Chain replied on behalf of Xiao He Shang. Sun Baozi heard this and still said inexplicably, "No, its not what I said, isnt the first ghost among the Night Walkers Ghosts Guixiao? When did it become Chi Tian?"

  Xiao He Shang finally spoke up, "The Gui Xie is the worst of all, and this Chi Tian is the real deal, the head of the Golden Chair. Back in the Republic of China era, the Religious Committee had set up a bureau to eliminate the Night Walking Ghosts, but unfortunately, they only managed to get rid of Chi Tian. Little fatty, do you know what happened afterwards? The entire committee moved out of Nanjing because they were afraid that when Chi Tian came back for revenge, it would bring disaster to the whole city. Later, a Yin agent from the committee negotiated with Chi Tian and returned all the Night Walking Ghosts that had not yet dispersed, and within half a year, the dozens of Night Walking Ghosts grew back to over a hundred. The committee didnt know what else was added in secret, but Chi Tian didnt cause them any more trouble."

  Xiao Hes eyes stared straight at Chi Tian, who was still lowering his head in silence. After a pause, he continued: "Unexpectedly, the once so powerful Chi Tian is now actually being controlled by Yang Xiu and turned into a ghost puppet. Little fatty, if you dont understand, it means you dont understand. Dont give me that look, ghost puppet - a puppet of ghosts."

  When it comes to fighting spirit, Suns skills are not inferior to Gao Liang. However, if we talk about the professional knowledge of the Public Opinion Bureau, then Deputy Director Sun is absolutely a ghost among ghosts.

  At this time, Yang Xiao also started talking to the shadow of Luo Ben in front of him: "I really cant bear to lay a hand on you, but theres still a compromise. Ill release Chi Tian and have him send you off on your last journey. Then Ill let Chi Tians soul scatter and disperse, avenging you. This is probably the best solution."

  He said to the last few sentences, Akatsuki suddenly moved, he seemed to have suddenly gained consciousness, and slowly walked towards Robben. In just a few steps, he was already behind Robbens back, Akatsuki made a motion of drawing his sword from his waist, and then a mist appeared in his hand, the mist quickly materialized. In the blink of an eye, a shining narrow-bladed long knife appeared in Akatsukis hand.

  Chi Tian grasped the knife with both hands, his eyes fixed intently on Luo Bens neck. It seemed that as soon as Sun Bangzi gave the order, this one knife would be able to chop off Luo Bens head.

  "Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth" Yang Xiao said with a full mouth: "Youve been tired for so many years, go down and rest well. Remember, the one who killed you is Chi Tian, and the one who avenged your death by killing Chi Tian is me." After finishing speaking, Yang Xiao paused for a moment, possibly not wanting to see Luo Bens dead face, he turned his body around, with his back facing Luo Ben, and said one last sentence: "Make it quick and neat, dont let him feel..."

  Before he could finish speaking, a shout from Sun Baozi was heard: "Old Yang, run quickly!" At the moment when Sun Baozi shouted out, Yang Xiao felt an evil wind at the back of his head. Due to the suddenness of the event, using escape techniques was already too late, and he didnt have time to think about many things. His body suddenly sprang up, his two hands also didnt idle, simultaneously throwing backwards, two large bronze nails were thrown out towards the back at the same time.

  Just then, two muffled "pops" were heard, and the evil wind also swept down. Yang Xiaos body continued to pounce forward, only this time slightly slower, his back suddenly felt a chill, the clothes on his back were split in half, Yang Xiaos reaction was just a little slow, now it had already been torn into two pieces.

  Just then, he had time to look back and saw Chi Tian grasping a long knife and charging towards him again. The two copper nails that were just inserted into Chi Tians abdomen seemed to have no effect at all. Yang Xiao didnt expect Chi Tian to suddenly lose control, but in the midst of chaos, he didnt panic either. Instead, he charged towards Chi Tian, and just as Chi Tian saw Yang Xiao within his reach, another knife came slashing down.

  Just as Yang Xiao was about to be split in two, he suddenly disappeared from his original position, Chi Tian chopped empty air, and then began searching for Yang Xiaos trail. At this moment, Yang Xiao suddenly appeared behind him, with a copper nail inserted into Chi Tians neck vertebrae.

  Just as the copper nail was about to be inserted into Chi Tians neck, a sudden flash of fire appeared behind Yang Xiaos back, and then a large fireball arrived at his back. At this time, Yang Xiao was fully focused on dealing with Chi Tian, and he really couldnt dodge in time, so he could only expose his vital points and let the fireball hit him squarely.

  "Whoosh!" In an instant, Yang Xiao transformed into a living person. Just as Chi Tian was about to strike with his knife, Yang Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood that turned into a ball of bloody mist engulfed in flames. Yang Xiao disappeared into the mist, leaving behind only a few scattered flames that fell to the ground.

  Just as Yang Xiao was about to temporarily retreat with the Blood Shield Technique, Xiao He pointed at the blood fog and said with extreme disgust: "Im saying, such a good start can also be turned around by others! What was he doing just now? It would have been great if he had died from that one nail earlier, but no, he had to put on a show and release Chi Tian. Look, Chi Tian has rebelled! Hes also escaped! Were in trouble too!" As they spoke, the few of them gathered around Yin Bai.

  On Sun Baozis side, everyone else didnt understand either. Chi Tian had already decided to end Luo Ben with one slash, so why did he suddenly turn his blade towards Yang Yue instead? The reason was that Sun Baozi had observed carefully earlier. When Chi Tian slashed at Luo Ben, Luo Ben suddenly smiled, and then it seemed like this expression was contagious, as Chi Tians face also broke out into an identical smile. Afterwards, he retracted his blade and turned to slash at Yang Yue, who was still facing away from him.

  When did you become so talkative? Laughing and following along! What is going on here?! At this time, Yin Bai crawled up from the ground, staring at Luo Ben and Chi Tian. Then, with a long whistle, it slowly walked towards the position of the man and the ghost. However, after walking only a few steps, a voice was heard in the air saying: "Both of them are mine, Im the one who suffered a loss, and now I have to find a way to make up for it myself."

  As soon as the voice fell, Yang Xiao suddenly appeared beside Yin Bai. He was covered in burns and his eyes were fixed on Luo Ben and Chi Tians direction, a cold smile spreading across his face.
