Chapter 135 The Negative Effects of Labels

Chapter 135 The Negative Effects of Labels

At this moment, not only did the terrifying bamboo pole ghost appear, but also a short, fat, rotting ghost rolled in like a ball of flesh at the entrance of the courtyard, heading straight for Guan Jikun, who had just gotten up from the ground.

Guan Jiqian had no time to be distracted, because the bamboo pole ghost above his head had already stretched out its withered arm and grabbed his head after blowing out the candle.

He rolled on the ground while simultaneously tapping his index finger knuckles rapidly, but his movements were so hurried that he momentarily lost his rhythm.

Guan Jikun, on the other hand, grabbed the courtyard wall and quickly dodged the large fleshy ball.

Just as he dodged, he was intercepted by the other two fierce ghosts. With a snap, his right leg was bitten off by one of the ghosts. The ghost picked up the severed leg with its mouth, chewed it up crisply, and began to devour it on the spot.

Guan Jikun let out a scream.

Seeing this, Guan Jiqian no longer cared about his own safety. He bit his tongue and changed his tapping into a push in the air. The several fierce ghosts in front of him were pushed away by a huge force, colliding with each other and rolling around.

Guan Jiqian quickly stepped forward, grabbed Guan Jikun, and ran out of the courtyard.

However, the next second, Guan Jiqian's head tightened as the terrifying bamboo ghost's withered hand gripped the top of his head.

His expression changed drastically, and with all his might, he pushed Guan Jikun out of the courtyard gate.

"Hurry up!"

"elder brother!"

Guan Jikun was in a sorry state. He rolled on the ground twice, and after finally getting up, he touched his chest and found that the black box was still there.

He didn't hesitate for a moment, knowing that this was a chance to escape that Guan Jiqian had given him at the cost of his life.

He heard the sound of flesh and blood exploding behind him. He recognized the sound; it was Guan Jiqian frantically attacking the bamboo pole ghost with air bullets.

Less than ten seconds later, an even louder sound of flesh and blood exploding rang out, and Guan Jiqian's attack came to an abrupt halt.

In the hands of the bamboo pole ghost, his entire head had exploded, with red and white fluid flowing out.

The bamboo pole ghost suddenly turned around and chased after Guan Jikun, who had lost a leg and was unable to move easily.

Just as Guan Jikun was terrified and completely lost hope, the space in front of him suddenly rippled, and then Guan Chuandao's familiar figure appeared.

"dad----"

Guan Jikun was startled.

Guan Chuandao frowned, and without saying a word, grabbed Guan Jikun. The space where the two were located fluctuated again and then disappeared.

The bamboo pole ghost quickly arrived at the place where the two had disappeared, looked around, then roared to the sky and slammed the corpse of Guan Jiqian that it was holding onto the ground.

With the female ghost not around, the bamboo pole ghost is the strongest at this moment.

While these ghosts were fighting with the Guan brothers, Li Jiuhe and Ning Chong had already escaped through the back door.

Although they were hiding somewhere on the adjacent street, by the time the vengeful ghosts came to their senses, they could no longer find Ning Chong.

As dusk falls, the sky shifts between light and shadow.

There was no one left on the streets; all the surviving people had already retreated into their homes.

In one of the empty houses on the next street, Ning Chong looked at Li Jiuhe with a smile.

"Were those two the ones who were chasing you?"

Li Jiuhe nodded: "There's another one that's even more powerful, but he showed up too late and I don't know where he went."

Ning Chong calculated the time: "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, that peddler should be dead by now."

"Then let's go to the West Gate now and leave Ye City," Li Jiuhe said.

"Why don't you kill all those people who are chasing you?" Ning Chong asked.

"We need the strength to do that." Li Jiuhe smiled. "Never mind, let's get to the West Gate before dark. If those people can't leave, trapping them here will only lead to the same outcome."

Ning Chong said no more. The two did not walk on the main street, but instead took the alleys or used the eaves of houses as cover, and quickly headed towards the west gate.

Just as they approached the western part of the city, in one of the empty houses, Guan Chuandao had just finished bandaging Guan Jikun's broken leg.

However, blood was still seeping through the bandaged area.

"Dad, my leg—"

Guan Chuandao interrupted Guan Jikun: "Your future has nothing to do with this leg. For a powerful Order Rectifier, the body is no longer important."

"But my older brother—"

Just then, Guan Jikun suddenly paused, his spiritual energy locking onto two people running quickly past not far in front of the house.

"It's Li Jiuhe! Dad, quick! He's outside—"

Guan Chuandao was taken aback at first, then burst into anger, grabbed Guan Jikun and carried him on his back. The air rippled, and the two disappeared instantly.

When they reappeared, they were already on the street, and they could see Li Jiuhe and Ning Chong's backs.

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

Overwhelmed by resentment at the murder of his eldest son, Guan Chuandao roared and used spatial teleportation to disappear once again.

Upon hearing this sound, Li Jiuhe felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of crisis rose within him. He grabbed Ning Chong and sped up the race.

The next second, Guan Chuandao, carrying Guan Jikun, appeared in front of them.

Guan Chuandao had been paying all his attention to Li Jiuhe, but he only glanced briefly at Ning Chong next to Li Jiuhe before he was taken aback.

He could clearly see a black mole on Ning Chong's right eyebrow, and this person was exactly a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Guan Jikun, on his back, said at the same time, "Dad, that kid next to Li Jiuhe is also very strange. When the two of them are together, I can't control Li Jiuhe at all!"

Guan Jikun had intended to control Li Jiuhe's body as soon as he appeared, but he encountered the same problem as he had in the courtyard earlier. He felt as if his mental energy had hit an air wall and he could not move forward even half a step.

He immediately realized that this must be Ning Chong's fault, because he had also been unable to control the other party just now.

"Kill them all!"

Guan Chuandao originally intended to kill Ning Chong and take his head to the old peddler to exchange for a way out of the city. He never expected that Ning Chong would be with Li Jiuhe.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

What kind of fate is this? It seems that heaven still favors me, having bound these two together and delivered them directly to my doorstep.

So even if this is truly his life-or-death ordeal, Guan Chuandao must seize this opportunity and use his life to ensure that the Guan family lineage and its blessings flow back to him!

Guan Chuandao stretched out his hands and squeezed them in the air. Li Jiuhe immediately felt the space around him suddenly tighten, and an indescribable pressure squeezed in from all directions.

At the same time, Ning Chong, who was beside him, felt the same way. The air around them stopped circulating, and there was even a strong sense of suffocation.

Ning Chong was immediately terrified. He hadn't expected this stranger to kill him in a single encounter. His mind raced, and he managed to open his mouth and whisper a warning to Li Jiuhe.

"Oh no! This man—the peddler's accomplice—"

Ning Chong was meticulous and exceptionally intelligent. He knew that the other party had a grudge against Li Jiuhe, but it was impossible for him to kill him in a single encounter, just like he had done with Li Jiuhe.

Because they still have secrets about themselves, such as why they can attract ghosts during the day, why they can resist the other party's mental attacks, and why ghosts cannot get close to them, etc.

If these secrets were to be uncovered, they would be an invaluable asset to anyone.

But the old man in front of him still ignored him and went straight to kill him. There is only one explanation: the old man and the peddler are in cahoots.

His only task right now is to kill himself, just like the peddler.

Upon hearing Ning Chong's last words, Li Jiuhe immediately chose to reset the mission.

At this moment, he probably guessed that Guan Chuandao's sequence ability should be spatial. Although the range of space he controlled was not large, it was enough to lock down the space he was in and kill any life in that space.

The scene changes, and the two are on their way to the West Gate.

"Don't go this way." Li Jiuhe suddenly stopped and called out to Ning Chong, "Let's lure a few ghosts over first."

Ning Chong was startled, stopped abruptly, looked ahead, and immediately guessed what was going on.

"Were those people just now up ahead?"

Li Jiuhe knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded: "We're no match for that old guy who rescued his son."

"I understand, luring a few ghosts over here to drive away a tiger and devour a wolf." Ning Chong smiled slightly. "I admire your approach. One has to be ruthless. Otherwise, you could just change direction and go around now."

Li Jiuhe carefully examined Ning Chong. This second prince was extremely cunning and had a deep mind. He knew that although he also had some cunning, he was far inferior to Ning Chong.

If you encounter this type of person in the real world, your thought is usually to get to know them but not to develop a deep relationship with them.

Otherwise, you'll be sold out and still be helping the seller count the money.

Of course, people like Chen Zhenghai are a minority.

There is now a situation that is very unfavorable to him: Guan Chuandao seems to have joined forces with the old peddler, and the two have reached a consensus: to kill him and Ning Chong.

No matter who they encounter, they will be met with merciless slaughter.

Time was of the essence, so without further ado, the two immediately took a stroll around the larger streets nearby. Ning Chong did not deliberately conceal himself, and soon attracted the attention of two powerful ghosts.

However, these ghosts seem to be quite weak, since night has not yet fully fallen and their strength is not as great as the previous ghosts.

The two ghosts simply followed slowly behind the two.

Ning Chong suddenly said, "Let's go, we can go over there, there's a big one over there."

He seemed to have a special way of sensing things, and roughly knew the strength and location of some ghosts.

The two immediately followed the path they had taken before the mission reset towards the west gate. A short while later, that familiar voice rang out: "You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Immediately, a ripple appeared in the air not far in front of them, and Guan Chuandao appeared in front of them with his second son on his back.

However, at almost the same moment, a chilling aura swept over them from the diagonal front, and a fierce ghost appeared, its body covered in pus and crawling with a large number of white maggots inside and outside the sores.

puff!

Without saying a word, the creature spat out a mouthful of pus at the four people. The pus exploded in mid-air, and the maggots inside flew everywhere.

Because it was so sudden, neither Li Jiuhe, Ning Chong, nor Guan Chuandao and his son could escape it.

However, Guan Chuandao and Guan Jikun were the most affected, because the ghost was located almost parallel to them and was the closest to them.

Both of them were covered in maggots crawling around, which then burst out with green pus.

Ning Chong was experienced in dealing with ghosts, and he quickly pulled Li Jiuhe to the right to escape.

Before Guan Chuandao could react, he reached out and pinched the air around Li Jiuhe, causing the space around him to tighten and begin to collapse.

At the same time, Guan Chuandao used his other hand to lock the space where the suddenly appearing vengeful ghost had appeared.

But it only lasted for two seconds before the terrifying ghost completely shattered the sealed space. With a roar, a large amount of pus splattered out, locking onto the father and son. It then swooped down and bit down.

The space around Li Jiuhe began to collapse, and the air suddenly became more open.

Ning Chong pulled him close: "Are you alright?"

He didn't let go of Li Jiuhe's hand at the crucial moment.

Li Jiuhe coughed a few times, shook his head, and the two continued their escape.

Guan Chuandao, who was behind them, was preparing to use a small-scale spatial teleportation to catch up with them, but after the spatial fluctuations occurred, he suddenly realized that the maggots and pus on his body were already hindering him.

This seems to be a unique attack method used by the vengeful ghost in front of us.

Spatial teleportation distances become very short because spatial fluctuations and distance/direction need to be calculated, making it less efficient than simply running.

Having narrowly avoided a fatal attack from the vengeful ghost, Guan Chuandao immediately carried Guan Jikun and chased after Li Jiuhe and the other two.

He didn't have time to pay attention to the vengeful ghost. Instead, he combined running with small-scale spatial teleportation. When dodging the vengeful ghost behind him, he used running, while when chasing Li Jiuhe, he used teleportation at the right moment.

The distance between the two sides gradually closed, and although the vengeful ghost behind them kept a close watch on Guan Chuandao, it was unable to hit its target for the time being.

Before long, Li Jiuhe and Ning Chong simultaneously felt the surrounding space begin to collapse again, the air becoming thinner as it was compressed, and their faces turned bright red.

The two looked back and saw that they were less than ten meters away from Guan Chuandao, and the vengeful ghost at the very back could not catch up with the father and son for the time being.

For Guan Chuandao, who possesses the ability to teleport, escaping the pursuit of vengeful ghosts is easier than for anyone else.

Just like the old peddler's "golden cicada shedding its shell" skill, he can use it repeatedly with almost no loss.

"That's about enough!"

Li Jiuhe was already feeling extremely suffocated; he felt like he could no longer breathe.

On a whim, he stuck the only inferior label he had obtained after this upgrade onto Guan Chuandao, who was rapidly approaching from behind.

This inferior label can cause a random negative effect on the assigned character, and usually, the negative effect is not under Li Jiuhe's control.

You can control it if you want; you can specify the points consumed.

If Li Jiuhe were to label someone under normal circumstances, it might randomly cause them a side effect.

But the situation was critical, and he needed a definite effect that would benefit him immediately.

So after affixing the label to Guan Chuandao, he immediately used up his last remaining point.

The words quickly appeared before my eyes.

[The target has been identified. Please select the impending negative effects.]

【1、行动迟缓；2、失聪（失语、失明）半个小时（可指定其一）；3、序列能力减少五分之一，持续三分钟；4、身体高亮，持续十分钟；5、伤口持续失血五分钟。】

Li Jiuhe believed that the negative effects were definitely not limited to these, but rather included many others.

However, all of these negative effects can be applied to Guan Chuandao, and it is up to him to decide which one to choose.

Holding his breath, he was in extreme discomfort, and the urgent situation prevented him from thinking too much.

He quickly glanced at it, preparing to select "Slow Down," because if Guan Chuandao's movements slowed down, not only would he be unable to catch up with them, but he would also be very likely to be caught up by the vengeful ghost that had already been left far behind.

As for the negative effects such as hearing loss and continuous bleeding from the wound, they don't seem to be of much help in the current critical situation and cannot directly stop the pursuit.

However, reducing Guan Chuandao's sequence ability by one-fifth is hardly a useful side effect.

Given the old man's skills, even if he temporarily loses one-fifth of them, it won't have much impact on the current situation.

Just as he was about to select the "slow movement" option, Li Jiuhe suddenly looked up at the sky, which had almost completely darkened, and then looked at the fourth option.

[Body highlighted for ten minutes]

They immediately abandoned the first option and chose "body highlight".

The moment he made his choice, Guan Chuandao, who was not far behind him, suddenly realized that something was wrong with him. A light shone from behind him, and then his limbs and torso skin began to glow from the inside out.

It's as if my body is filled with some kind of glowing substance, and I can't stop it at all.

The town was completely dark at this time, with only the houses lit by candles for exorcising evil spirits. However, the light emanating from Guan Chuandao was nearly ten times brighter than the candles.

Most importantly, it only shines, but the light has no effect of warding off evil spirits.

In an instant, a cacophony of eerie rustling sounds erupted from the surrounding darkness, as if ghosts were being drawn from all directions and were rushing toward them.

Guan Chuandao was startled. The moment his body showed abnormalities, his control over the space around Li Jiuhe loosened.

Li Jiuhe immediately felt that he could breathe again.

Turning his head, he saw that four or five ghosts were already rushing towards the glowing Guan Chuandao from the nearby eaves.

Several nearby empty rooms had their doors opened, and hordes of ferocious, ghostly creatures swarmed out, more than a dozen of them rushing towards the luminous figure.

Meanwhile, a little further away, a man with blood flowing through his veins roared as he charged toward Guan Chuandao.

This blood-soaked man possessed a strange and surging aura, making him even stronger than the vengeful ghost that had spewed maggots earlier!

As a result, Guan Chuandao's movement speed was greatly reduced. Even though he used spatial teleportation to change his body position, ghosts were surging in from all directions, and he was quickly overwhelmed by a large number of ghosts.

Ning Chong looked surprised. He didn't know why Guan Chuandao's whole body suddenly started to glow, which attracted a large number of ghosts.

Guan Chuandao's ability to attract ghosts was even stronger than Ning Chong's at this moment, and no ghosts were paying attention to this side for the time being.

"The blood demons chasing us are second only to the bamboo pole demon in strength. Let's go!" Ning Chong said quickly.

He suspected that all of this might be related to Li Jiuhe, but neither of them said anything and instead sped up their escape.

As they approached the West Gate, Ning Chong ran past the house where the old peddler had hidden naked during the day. He seemed to sense something, quickly glanced inside, and then his pupils contracted.

Although the room was dark, he could still clearly see a person sitting there like a dried corpse, covered with a sheet.

The old peddler was dead, and his flesh and blood had been drained by the ghost, turning him into a dried-up corpse.

He ultimately did not live to see Guan Chuandao bring Ning Chong's head.

However, if he could hold on for a while longer, he would be able to see Ning Chong, a living person, standing right in front of him now.

After the woman in black, who had been clinging to the old peddler's back, finished sucking his body dry, she was very satisfied and was still standing in the corner of the room.

Suddenly, she noticed that the target who had once attracted her so much was passing by the door quickly. Instantly, her ghostly aura was aroused again, and the woman in black rushed towards the outside.

She had already seen Ning Chong and Li Jiuhe. When she reached the door, she quickly turned around and was about to press herself against Ning Chong's back.

But the moment it turned around, a bright light behind it instantly caught the eye of the ghost.

Completely unable to resist the attraction, she immediately changed her target and rushed towards the glowing Guan Chuandao who was coming towards her.
