Chapter 439: Chu’s Jiang’s Counterattack

Under the fierce attacks of Ghost Diary, Sleep Talking is facing enormous pressure.

However, Chu Jiang’s consciousness is becoming increasingly blurred. He is like a drowning person, desperately trying to grab onto something, but grasping nothing.

This "suicidal" act of his is completely outside of Chu Jiang’s plan. Obviously, as long as he completes the final transformation of Chu’s Jiang, he is confident that he can immediately turn the tables and defeat Sleep Talking.

He is unwilling, very unwilling!

In just a few minutes, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the porcelain jar, and the oozing blood stained it a deep crimson.

If things continue like this, in less than a minute, Sleep Talking’s body will be completely shattered by the chains of Ghost Diary.

And at this critical moment, Chu Jiang has also reached a point where he can no longer see anything with his eyes; he can no longer hear any sound with his ears; he feels nothing from the outside world, only a sense of darkness, only feeling himself sinking endlessly.

"Boom!" The porcelain jar is finally shattered by countless chains, but at that moment, Chu Jiang officially loses consciousness.

At first glance, it seemed like they were going to perish together, but in the next second, Sleep Talking made numerous scattered pieces come together again, forming a badly damaged tin can.

And Chu Jiang had completely transformed into Chu’s Jiang, with his eyes tightly shut.

This was in line with a certain outcome that Sleep Talking had predicted earlier.

This was the worst outcome for Chu Jiang, and the best outcome for Sleep Talking, but at the same time… it was also the least likely outcome, almost impossible to achieve.

Because the success rate was so low, Sleep Talking had always been trying to reach a deal with Chu Jiang, rather than using violence.

However, tearing off the mask today was ultimately unavoidable because humans and ghosts had different positions, which was a fundamental disagreement.

……

As Chu Jiang’s consciousness "dispersed," Ghost Diary immediately accelerated its devouring speed, almost increasing by tenfold.

But before it could swallow Chu’s Jiang, suddenly! The darkness invaded this place, a crescent moon rose in the sky, and Chu’s Jiang’s left hand "slapped" the diary pressed against his chest!

The bright white light overflowed from its hands, and Ghost Diary immediately felt like it was burned. It instantly separated from Chu’s Jiang’s body, fell to the ground, and rolled several times.

Nevertheless, the white moonlight-like glow didn’t dissipate, it still tightly wrapped around the diary.

At the same time, Chu’s Jiang’s right hand grasped the edge of the clay pot, and the same glow bloomed on the pot.

This caused the muffled murmurs and crazy whispers coming from the pot to turn into piercing screams in an instant!

The eerie sound raged, shaking the earth, cracking the ground; it resonated with the river, creating soaring water splashes in Luohe; it even swept out like a storm, sweeping away all the plants and debris in the Ghost Domain!

If it wasn’t for being trapped inside Chu’s Jiang’s Ghost Domain, creatures within ten or even a hundred miles would probably have become extinct by Sleep Talking’s scream.

Although restraining two ghosts at the same time, Chu’s Jiang still kept his eyes closed, as if unconsciously and instinctively performing this action.

It wasn’t until several seconds later that Chu’s Jiang finally opened his eyes.

These were an incredible pair of eyes, the left eye pure black and the right eye pure white, as if containing both the forces of Yin and Yang, life and death.

After opening his eyes, the icy gaze froze for a moment. In fact, it was not Chu’s Jiang who was in control of this body, but Chu Jiang.

Yes, Chu Jiang’s consciousness returned, and he came back to "life".

Looking at everything in front of him, Chu Jiang found it hard to believe. He had actually turned the tables? After thinking carefully, he finally understood what had happened just now.

This made Chu Jiang murmured to himself, "I can’t believe I couldn’t be killed. I don’t know how I can possibly meet my demise…"

In fact, at the moment when he lost consciousness earlier, Chu Jiang truly thought he was going to die. But what happened at the Lin Ancestral Hall last time was repeating itself.

Chu Jiang lost consciousness, but Chu’s Jiang’s instincts briefly took over this body.

This is a kind of "death takeover" mechanism that has been present ever since Chu’s Jiang’s powers were restored.

Because of Chu’s Jiang’s instincts emerging, the surface consciousness, thoughts, memories, and emotions that were about to be wiped out by Sleep Talking were buried deep in the subconscious, causing Sleep Talking to lose his target all at once.

Chu’s Jiang’s instincts as a ghost cannot be erased by Sleep Talking; in fact, both the Ghost Diary and Sleep Talking threatened Chu’s Jiang, so it instantly used its own "life" power to overpower them.

Just like what Chu Jiang had guessed before, Chu’s Jiang’s [Control over life and death] has the power to overcome living things with death, and overcome dead things with life.

Now Ghost Diary and Sleep Talking are both tormented by this power that transforms death into life. Ghost Diary is a bit better off, as it completely suppresses all supernatural occurrences, and its white radiance gradually fades and disappears.

However, Sleep Talking’s true form is tightly held by Chu Jiang’s right hand, continuously emitting screams. But to Chu Jiang now, it sounds just like the sound of wind passing by, without causing any disturbance.

This time, when Chu’s Jiang’s instinct took over Chu Jiang’s body again, and when transferring control over the body, it didn’t switch back to a human form.

Because Chu Jiang had already come close to being completely transformed by Chu’s Jiang, and even experienced it in a [Future moment] beforehand, his body has fully adapted to this ability.

So the choice of whether to switch forms is now back in Chu Jiang’s hands.

The more Chu Jiang thinks about it, the more he finds it strange. It’s not like there are two separate wills inside him, but rather there is a conscious mind on the surface, and a subconscious mind.

Under normal circumstances, the conscious mind dominates everything. However, when it comes to matters of life and death, the subconscious mind is willing to do whatever it takes, absolutely refusing to let Chu Jiang die.

Whether it was the time Chu Jiang tried to control Black Sun, or this time when he was deceived by Sleep Talking, Chu’s Jiang’s instinct as a ghost played a remarkable role.

He looked down at Sleep Talking and decided to seal away this ghost thing first before doing anything else.

Although Sleep Talking was shouting loudly at this moment, ghosts don’t die; at most, their power is continuously weakened, causing discomfort to Sleep Talking.

Now fully awakened, Chu Jiang instantly learned all of Chu’s Jiang’s abilities: zombie power, interference with reality, control over life and death, mastery of lifespans, and separation of yin and yang.

Zombie power refers to the abnormal strength possessed by Chu’s Jiang’s body, even capable of directly beating up other supernatural beings.

It was demonstrated before interfering with reality.

Control over life and death is divided into two parts: life and death, which Chu Jiang has now mastered one by one.

Mastery of lifespans is a very mystical, difficult, and complex ability. Chu Jiang only knows that it is ineffective against ghosts; as for humans, it requires experimentation, but it cannot be used wantonly.
