Chapter 98: Battle Begins

Clang, clang, clang!

In Lanruo Temple, the collision between swords was even more spectacular and intense than in the movies.

The swordsman who had challenged Lanruo Temple was stronger than Ji Ye had imagined. At least when he faced the Extraordinary Rank-4 Yan Chixia, he did not directly fall into a disadvantageous position.

In fact, the tip of the swords collided far more than once in battle, causing sparks to fly!

And this battle between the top swordsmen in the world also made Ji Ye have a “sudden epiphany” about some of the “sword” theories that Yan Chixia taught during the day.

It was a pity that they did not exchange for items like “cameras”.

Otherwise, he could have recorded it for careful study in the future.

“Pew!”

In the end, the “Xiahou” swordsman was still not a match for Yan Chixia. He was injured by his sword and lost.

Then, he chose to wash his wound in the lake beside Lanruo Temple where Nie Xiaoqian played the zither yesterday!

“Quick, Brother Ji, let’s follow!” Fatty Zhu, who was wearing runic armor, suddenly said to Ji Ye excitedly.

“Eh...”

“Nie Xiaoqian, that’s where Nie Xiaoqian officially appears in the movie... Let’s think of a way to get to know her and get a good impression of her. Then, we can save her from Granny Tree Demon!”

Fatty Zhu sounded a little excited.

“...”

Ji Ye was slightly speechless.

It wasn’t that Fatty Zhu was lacking in brains, but that he was clearly “smitten”.

Putting aside the fact that Nie Xiaoqian was only a projection formed by the power of providence, the plot might not necessarily follow the original.

Although it was not too difficult to “snatch” her away from the thousand-year-old tree demon, he definitely had to make preparations for the subsequent chain reaction.

However, Fatty Zhu knew his limits.

His talent ability was useless in an environment like Lanruo Temple.

This was because the only underlings—the gray wolf pack—who could he communicate with completely ignored him. Even the alpha wolf in the lead pissed in front of him.

Like a silly husky, it then looked at its reflection in the puddle of piss!

As for the three hundred Holy Silver Bullets, they were naturally very lethal against ghosts, but they were inevitably lacking in efficacy against demons.

It was impossible for Yan Chixia, Lu Zhishen, or Katarina to accompany him on this matter.

Among the people present, only Ji Ye could be said to be with him!

However, Ji Ye was clearly not such a “smitten” person.

“Awoo!”

Ji Ye was about to shake his head when he heard a clear wolf howl. His eyes widened.

“Alright!”

Then, he agreed.

...

“Strange, why isn’t she here? Shouldn’t she be out at a time like this?”

A minute later, Fatty Zhu’s thick runic armor crushed a bunch of shrubs in the forest. However, his expression was filled with disappointment.

A white figure silently floated behind him, bringing with it a cold wind that resembled an air conditioner!

“A ghost... Ah, Goddess, please give me an autograph!”

Fatty Zhu turned around and jumped in fright.

However, when he saw the “person” clearly, his narrowed eyes widened as he immediately revealed a fawning expression.

“Young Master!”

However, Nie Xiaoqian, who was dressed in white clothes that resembled the moonlight, ignored him and floated to Ji Ye.

“What’s the matter?”

Ji Ye looked at her.

That’s right, the wolf howl from before was actually fake by Nie Xiaoqian.

In the movie, she had used this move to scare Ning Caichen, and Ji Ye had instructed her yesterday to use it as a special communication method between the two of them.

“Master Black Mountain has sent someone to look for Granny!”

The black hair on Nie Xiaoqian’s face fluttered as anxiety appeared in her large eyes under the moonlight.

“What did you say??”

“Who did he send?”

Ji Ye was indeed surprised.

“Two of them were alive. All of them had weapons. There were also twenty armored soldiers, but they were likely dead people!” Nie Xiaoqian said.

“Two participants and twenty Black Mountain Guards?

Upon encountering a serious matter, Fatty Zhu finally put away his fawning expression and exchanged glances with Ji Ye.

“What did they discuss?” Ji Ye asked.

“They asked Granny if she knew about a person named Yan Chixia and asked about the situation of Lanruo Temple. Young Master, they are likely here for you!”

Nie Xiaoqian looked a little anxious.

Ji Ye had told her that he would attack the tree demon tomorrow, but he did not expect that Old Demon Black Mountain would send men over tonight.

It came faster than I expected. I miscalculated.

Ji Ye frowned.

Since they could learn about the connection between Black Mountain and Granny Tree Demon from A Chinese Ghost Story’s setting, the other party naturally knew that Granny Tree Demon and Yan Chixia were related!

It had only been a day, but they had already come over. This undoubtedly exceeded his initial expectations.

Originally, he had wanted to take advantage of the accelerated flow of time in the Battlefield of Providence to fuse more items over the days before fighting the other party!

“What do we do now?”

Fatty Zhu also felt that things were getting thorny.

“Return immediately. We’ll storm our way over,” Ji Ye said decisively.

After obtaining information about Yan Chixia’s location, the other party would either urge the thousand-year-old tree demon to attack together, or they would hold back and send a messenger back. They would attack after the other two people with Black Mountain arrived!

Theoretically, he couldn’t wait any longer.

As long as they dealt with this group of people first, the advantage of the enemy’s personnel would be halved.

It was also a mistake for the other party to split up!

...

“Ha, ha, ha...”

Behind Lanruo Temple, there was a lingering fragrance and flickering light.

The golden-gloved Granny Tree Demon wore blush on her face. Dressed in a purple androgynous robe, she was attending to an envoy from Black Mountain.

“Sir, you’re so strong!”

“Wow, Sir, your saber is huge!”

The armored “Nether Soldiers” were hugging female ghosts countless years after their deaths. As they drank the alcohol that only soul creatures could experience, they played drinking games and guffawed!

Only two people were wearing clothes that were slightly different from ancient outfits from Earth. One had a white sword case on his back, while the other had two black-red gourds hanging from his waist. They did not eat or drink.

Instead, they would shake their heads with slight exasperation. They stood by the window and occasionally glanced vigilantly in the direction of Lanruo Temple, which was not far away.

Thud!

Suddenly, the two of them turned their heads in unison.

This was because a distance away, something had been thrown into the hall through the window.

It was a fist-sized, oval object. After it landed on the ground, it started emitting white smoke.

The pupils of the two participants from the enemy camp shrank!
