Chapter 66: Two Gu Qianyangs
The fierce ghost was turned to ashes by the explosion, and the previous clamor and noise disappeared, replaced by a dead silence.
After Liu Haoyu recovered, he picked up the fire axe from the ground.
Looking at Shirley Lai’s previous position, his gaze was very complex.
Besides the joy of victory and deep fatigue, there was also a sense of powerlessness.
He was a ghost exorcist, and he could kill ghosts, but saving everyone… was really too difficult.
Especially during such extremely dangerous supernatural events, ordinary ghost exorcists might not even be able to protect themselves, let alone save others…
He had really done his best.
“Sigh…”
Liu Haoyu took off his mask, let out a helpless sigh, and leaned against the wall. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and lit it.
The light of the cigarette tip flickered in the darkness. Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke from his lungs.
His tired eyes relaxed slightly, as if all the pressure was released with the smoke.
Just as Liu Haoyu was relaxing his mind and relieving stress, a sound of footsteps suddenly echoed in the quiet workshop.
Liu Haoyu was startled and immediately scanned his surroundings.
He knew clearly that Qin Liu would not make footsteps, and whoever was making footsteps must be someone else.
“Your skills are quite good, young one.”
A hoarse and low voice sounded from the wall behind Liu Haoyu.
Hearing this voice, Liu Haoyu instinctively rolled forward and looked at his original position.
He saw a figure slowly walk out of the wall. Liu Haoyu couldn’t see his face, but judging by the Taoist robe he was wearing and the familiar voice.
This person… was Gu Qianyang!
He had indeed been watching himself, but instead of going to find Qin Liu, he had come to find himself.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu quickly put out his cigarette, gripped the fire axe tightly, and looked at the other party vigilantly.
“You did all of this, didn’t you?”
In response to Liu Haoyu’s question, Gu Qianyang let out a strange laugh.
His face was hidden under the bamboo hat, and no one could see his expression at the moment.
“Yes,”
Gu Qianyang did not deny it, but continued to laugh, his laughter filled with mockery and triumph.
“It was me.”
Facing this shameless old bastard, Liu Haoyu’s face sank. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.
“Why did you kill Shirley Lai?”
“Heh heh… Do you think I’m stupid?” Gu Qianyang mocked playfully: “Do you really think this is a Q&A game?”
Liu Haoyu was not blinded by anger. He had always been a very calm person.
Although Gu Qianyang could not turn Liu Qian into a ghost slave when he was in the underworld, he was able to return to the human world with the help of Liu Qian’s birth characters.
Therefore, he was not a remnant soul but a complete soul.
The strength of the two was completely disproportionate. To defeat him now… he could only rely on the Soul Extinguishing Nail.
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu held the Soul Extinguishing Nail hanging on the side of his backpack.
Gu Qianyang saw this Soul Extinguishing Nail and was not alarmed but appeared unusually calm.
“Young one, although your skills are very strong, do you really think this Soul Extinguishing Nail can hit me?”
Indeed, as the other party said, the length of the Soul Extinguishing Nail was not suitable for combat. This three-inch nail was too difficult to hit this elusive fierce ghost.
“What do you want to do?”
Liu Haoyu looked at the other party calmly.
Since Gu Qianyang did not find Qin Liu, it meant that he was definitely coming for him, but he was not very clear about his purpose.
“You know, I was also a ghost exorcist when I was alive.”
“It’s an insult to this profession to have a scumbag like you as a ghost exorcist.”
Facing Liu Haoyu’s mockery, Gu Qianyang did not get angry but laughed proudly.
“Only by having someone like me as a ghost exorcist can the order between the Yin and Yang realms be maintained.”
“By sealing the Night Walker inside Qin Liu, isn’t it to allow her to be used by me to help humans eliminate ghosts?”
“Heh~” Liu Haoyu responded with a cold sneer: “Eliminating ghosts is fake, and trying to control the Night Walker through Qin Liu is true, isn’t it?”
“Whatever you say, junior.”
Gu Qianyang took out a completely blackened peach wood sword from his Taoist robe. His tone and voice also began to become ferocious.
“As long as I kill you, Qin Liu will become a guide.”
“Since I’m dead, she can’t have a good time either!”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu finally understood the other party’s intention.
This person clearly wanted to turn Qin Liu into a ghost completely to satisfy his obsession with revenge.
But since he couldn’t defeat Qin Liu in her guide state, he had to find himself to vent his anger.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu held the axe in his left hand and the nail in his right, staring intently at Gu Qianyang.
But at this moment, Gu Qianyang let out strange laughter.
A chilling aura attacked Liu Haoyu from behind. The deadly killing intent made Liu Haoyu’s hair stand on end. Fortunately, his battle-hardened reflexes made him dodge sideways without thinking.
As he dodged, he saw a black peach wood sword out of the corner of his eye. This peach wood sword was extremely fast and directly pierced into his backpack.
But fortunately, the black peach wood sword seemed to be stuck by the items inside, unable to go any further. So it drew to the side, cutting open a slit in the backpack. The ghost exorcism items inside all scattered with a “rustle”.
Liu Haoyu pulled back his position again, trying to see who had attacked him.
And as he looked closely, he saw another Gu Qianyang!
Although there were two Gu Qianyangs wearing Taoist robes, Liu Haoyu could clearly feel that the one who had just attacked him was much weaker.
However, even so, if his backpack had not blocked the sword, he would have had a very deep wound cut open on his back.
In that case, even if he didn’t die, his spine would have been severed, and he would have become a cripple.
“Hehehe…”
Gu Qianyang’s strange laughter echoed in the workshop. Liu Haoyu looked at the ghost exorcism items scattered on the ground and seemed to be missing something… At this moment, he suddenly realized something.
The other party’s real target was not himself, but the Yin-Yang Mirror in his backpack!
Gu Qianyang saw Liu Haoyu’s dawning expression, and his mocking laughter became even sharper.
“Young one, you’re still too young.”
Liu Haoyu was shocked. He grabbed the Soul Extinguishing Nail and prepared to counterattack.
But the figures of the two Gu Qianyangs began to become transparent, and then completely disappeared into the darkness.
“Damn!”
Seeing the other party escape with the Yin-Yang Mirror, Liu Haoyu could only curse in his heart.
However, he still had another question in his heart at this moment.
What did Gu Qianyang want the Yin-Yang Mirror for?
