Chapter 158 Ghost Error
The ghost officer spoke, staring at Li Yi with a pair of empty eyes, as if he had regarded him as an enemy. Behind him were ten yamen runners holding black water and fire sticks. They had pale deathly faces and strode towards him expressionlessly. Their shapes were unstable, as if a gust of cold wind was blowing by.

"You are different from other ghosts and have your own consciousness? What did you mean just now, that ghosts and gods collect life span? So, all the life span that you ghosts collect from living people is handed over to the ghosts and gods behind you? What kind of ghosts and gods are so evil that they collect the life span of the people in a city every month to supply themselves?" Li Yi narrowed his eyes and was not afraid of this ghost messenger.

With the knife coin in his hand and the guidance technique, he may be able to fight these ghosts.

"Kill this mortal." The ghost did not answer Li Yi's question, but gave the order to kill in a hoarse voice.

The next moment, the ten yamen runners holding water and fire sticks rushed out immediately. A ferocious look appeared on their pale faces. Their hollow eye sockets stared at Li Yi and regarded him as their enemy. Then the ghost yamen runners waved the water and fire sticks in their hands and hit Li Yi fiercely.

"You evil demons and monsters, you are aiding and abetting the tyrant and stealing the lives of living people. You deserve to die." Li Yi shouted, and with a push of his feet, his tall and strong body instantly rushed towards the nearest yamen runner.

He avoided the uncertain water and fire stick, and punched the ghost runner on the head with a bright punch.

moment.

The ghost runner's head smashed into pieces immediately, turning him into a headless ghost. Then he twitched a few times and fell to the ground. Finally, his body quickly disintegrated and turned into a black yin energy that merged into the world. He died completely.

Killed a ghost with one punch.

Such a scene was unprecedented. The remaining yamen runners were stunned for a moment, as if they sensed danger from Li Yi. For a moment, they all stopped and dared not step forward.

The leading ghost officer showed a look of surprise on his livid face: "You, can actually deal with ghosts?"

"Could it be that you have killed so many people that you think of me as a soft persimmon? Don't say anything more. I will kill all of you ghosts today to prevent you from helping the tyrant in the future." Li Yi shouted loudly, then walked past the yamen runners and killed the ghost messenger.

The ghost had a gloomy face and was furious when he saw that Li Yi, a living man, dared to fight against him. He drew the ghost-head sword from his waist. Suddenly, a cold wind blew up and the temperature around seemed to drop. He then swung the illusory sword in his hand and immediately chopped towards Li Yi.

At this moment, Li Yi's inspiration gave an alert.

The ghost-head sword in the ghost's hand seemed to pose a great threat to him. If he was hit by it, he might be seriously injured. Moreover, this kind of serious injury was different from physical injury. There was a high probability that his soul would be damaged like his master Zhao Ge.

Li Yi relied on his quick reaction and his glowing vertical pupils that could lock onto the ghost in front of him, and he narrowly avoided the ghost-headed sword. Then he seized the opportunity and punched out.

The ghost seemed to know that Li Yi's fist was not easy to deal with. He was so scared that he quickly put away his knife. Then his body floated into the air and avoided Li Yi's attack.

"Let's go together and kill this living man."

The ghost knew that he could not capture the other party, so he was unwilling to take the risk and continued to let the yamen runners under his command do it.

Although these yamen runners had some intelligence, they did not seem to have a high level of supernatural powers. Although they were very afraid of Li Yi, they could not disobey the orders of the ghost catcher. They immediately rushed towards Li Yi with pale faces and water and fire sticks in their hands.

Li Yi had no choice but to deal with these yamen runners first. He carefully avoided the attack of the water and fire sticks, then waved his fists, relying on the knife coin and the powerful energy field brought by the guidance technique, and killed several ghost yamen runners. After death, these yamen runners turned into Yin Qi and dissipated in the world, leaving only a black water and fire stick.

Several yamen runners died in succession, which made the ghost officers watching the fight shocked and angry. They wanted to swing the ghost-head sword in their hands to kill Li Yi, but they were worried that Li Yi's fist would kill them too, so they were afraid to make a move.

Li Yi has been keeping an eye on this ghost for a long time. He knows that the ghost will not dare to approach him if he sees that he is not someone to be trifled with. The only way is to try to lure it over.

Hope this method is useful.

Immediately, Li Yi exposed a flaw and deliberately allowed himself to be hit on the arm by a yamen runner's water and fire stick.

A chill and inexplicable pain instantly surged into his heart. He felt that the blood in his entire arm could not flow, and his meridians seemed to be blocked. There was a feeling of softness and weakness that made him want to sit down and have a good rest.

"Is this the feeling of being hurt by a ghost?" Li Yi's face changed slightly, but then he staggered back, pretending to be defeated.

Seeing this scene, the ghost who had been watching the fight in mid-air was suddenly overjoyed. He rushed over with a ghost-head sword in his hand and chopped down at Li Yi with an extremely fast speed, as if he wanted to take advantage of Li Yi's injury to end his life.

But Li Yi was not really unable to beat the yamen runners, he was just pretending to be like this on purpose, waiting for this opportunity.

Seeing that the ghost had fallen into the trap, Li Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped up. He gathered all his strength and his feet were like thunder. He rushed up in an instant and killed like a ferocious beast, and his punch instantly emitted a dazzling light.

To fight against a ghost, your punch doesn't need to be too strong, you just need to punch fast enough.

As the fist shadow suddenly appeared.

The ghost was hit in the chest before he could react. He screamed, fell from mid-air, and landed heavily on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't say anything and moved closer again, throwing four punches in quick succession, directly landing on the ghost's limbs.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost's arms and legs were broken by the glowing fist. This physical injury made the ghost feel painful and he wailed continuously.

However, the ghost's ability to withstand blows seemed to be quite strong. Even so, he was not dead yet. Instead, the surrounding Yin Qi gathered, and his broken limbs showed signs of recovery. This made Li Yi feel incredible. Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly grabbed the ghost's neck with one hand and lifted him up, then quickly retreated to avoid the attacks of the surrounding officers.
"Stop it, all of you ghosts, or I will kill you." Li Yi threatened immediately.

"Stop it." The ghost with a livid face shouted hurriedly.

The few remaining people holding water and fire sticks immediately stopped their actions and stood still.

Then the ghost messenger with a livid face immediately said: "Wu Fu, although I don't know what means you use to deal with us, but you can't kill me. I am a messenger under the command of Yin Shen, responsible for collecting the birthday this time. If you kill me, Lord Yin Shen will not let you go."

"Your life is in my hands now. It's up to me whether to kill you or not. If you don't want to die, tell me the truth. What were those ghosts that broke into my mansion before? Are they taking the lives of living people?" The light in Li Yi's hand shone again, and he pinched the ghost's neck fiercely, as if he was going to crush him to death at any time.

"No, that's right. It's the life-collecting ghost. The night of the first day of every month is the time when ghosts and gods collect life. A part of everyone's life will be collected, and no one is exempt." The ghost was frightened and his face turned even paler. He said hurriedly.

"Are you using that bamboo to collect your life? Since there is a way to collect it, there must be a way to use it. How can you return your life?" Li Yi continued to ask.

The ghost was afraid of death, so he hurriedly said, "That's the ghost bamboo used to collect longevity. Use the other end of the bamboo to blow into the mouths of living people, and the collected lifespan will return to their bodies, and part of the lifespan can be replenished."

"Replenish some of it?" Li Yi narrowed his eyes, a fierce light in his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"It's easy to take back a living person's life span, but it's difficult to return it because there will be losses. Each lit section of the ghost bamboo represents one month of life span. If a ghost bamboo is fully lit, it represents one year of life span. But if it is returned, the living person's life span can only be increased by six months, which means it will be reduced by half." The ghost said.

"So the life-collecting ghost just now took away one month of Rong Niang's life? Even if he returns it, Rong Niang can only get back half a month of her life? Is that right?" Li Yi said coldly.

Seeing Li Yi's terrifying look, the ghost messenger hurriedly said, "You can use other people's life span to make up for it. You don't have to insist on giving it back. There are still many ghost bamboos in the hands of the life-collecting ghosts. Go and grab those ghost bamboos that have turned white. One bamboo is one year's life span, which can add half a year to the life span of a living person. You have the ability to kill ghosts and gods. On the first day of every month, secretly steal some life spans. As long as you don't do anything too excessive, no one will know."

"So that's how it is. You ghosts and gods rely on eating human life to survive forever in the world. You've eaten away the lifespans of people from all over the world, so that they can only live for 50 years." Li Yi became furious after learning the truth.

The ghost messenger with a livid face said in a hoarse voice: "This is the rule that has been in place for thousands of years. It has been like this since ancient times. The Yin God is very powerful, and the ghosts and gods above him are even more powerful. No one can resist. If you kill me, the Yin God will not spare you when he tracks you down, and you will die miserably. Let me go, and what happened today will be treated as if it never happened. I will give you ten years of life as compensation. How about that?"

"If I let you go, I will be targeted by the evil spirit. Killing you will mean I am truly dead without any evidence." Li Yi's pupils glowed at this moment, and he used the guidance technique again, and the light on his palm became brighter.

Under this powerful energy field, the ghost let out a shrill scream.

Then, as Li Yi exerted force with his palm, the ghost exploded with a bang and turned into a cold breath, floating into the sky and earth.

As soon as the ghost catcher died, the few remaining yamen runners were frightened and began to flee in all directions, fearing that they would also be killed.

How could Li Yi let these yamen runners go? He rushed forward quickly and relied on the characteristics of the knife coin to kill all of them, leaving no one behind.

"Since I have killed the ghost messenger today, I might as well go all the way and kill these life-collecting ghosts to take back the life span. Rong Niang, Zhao Qian, and Master have lost countless lives in these years of living in all corners of the world. I might as well make it all up today. Rather than letting those evil spirits off, I might as well let the people around me off."

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately strode towards Sanyang City.

But soon.

He remembered something and looked at the fallen demon-head sword on the ground.

This is the ghost's weapon. It did not dissipate after death. Maybe it can be used.

The only problem is how to pick it up.

This scene reminded Li Yi of the hanging spear in his home. It was the same, unreal and untouchable by ordinary people.

But if you use guidance techniques, maybe you can give it a try.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately used the guiding technique to guide the cosmic energy in his body. As one of his palms glowed, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the ghost-head sword that was originally untouchable, and he actually held it tightly in his hand.

Although he felt a chill running down his bones, he felt that he could withstand the effects of this infernal weapon.

"Very good. With weapons, it will be easier to take action. I happen to have a Yin horse in my room. I might as well ride it out. This way, it will be faster to take action."

Li Yi went back to the house and led out a Yin horse.

soon.

Accompanied by the neighing of a fierce horse, Li Yi rushed out of the mansion riding on a Yin horse and holding a ghost-head sword in his hand. He rushed all the way, forcibly knocking away the wronged souls and evil spirits that blocked the way, and rushed straight towards the ghosts that specialized in taking the lives of living people.

The heaven and earth have changed tonight, and the Yin Horse is also extraordinary. It actually carries Li Yi, a living person, into the air, flying several feet above the ground, and its speed is even faster than before. It is truly magical and extraordinary.
