Chapter 316: The Power of the White Tiger

Witnessing this, Chu Jiang calmly came out of the door and softly said, "I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to see how terrifying you are when you fully recover."

At the moment of Li Xiangtian’s strange death, many people who were closely watching this battle were amazed and shocked. He just died? How did he die?!

In their point of view, Chu Jiang just waved his hand, and then Li Xiangtian, who had not been harmed before, mysteriously dropped dead.

Only Xinxin’s eyes showed surprise as she looked at Li Xiangtian’s falling body, which had a bright red Blood Handprint on its back!

Yes, Chu Jiang’s way of killing was simple – he overlapped the Blood Handprint from the Blood Hand Ghost onto the clone of the Left Hand Ghost, and then slapped Li Xiangtian to death.

Of course, this isn’t the key. The key is how Chu Jiang broke through the defense of the Umbrella Ghost, which had no blind spots at all.

If the Umbrella Ghost couldn’t hold up in its extreme state, Li Xiangtian had other ways to defend against Chu Jiang’s attacks.

But on the contrary, the Umbrella Ghost didn’t collapse. It simply opened up a path at the moment Chu Jiang made his move, which was the most deadly!

Xinxin looked at Li Xiangtian’s shattered body. Both the Umbrella Ghost and the Sluggish Ghost had retreated into the body, temporarily ceasing their movements.

Now that the host was dead, they officially entered a state of unrestricted revival. Of course, it would still take some time for them to fully revive – a couple of minutes if it’s fast, or over ten minutes if it’s slow.

As for the dead infant ghost, it disappeared after entering the paranormal space. And as the host died, the blood footprints left in the air gradually faded and dissipated.

Xinxin noticed that Umbrella Ghost had betrayed, but she didn’t understand how Chu Jiang had convinced the other Ghost Masters.

This ability was really extraordinary. In fact, Li Xiangtian was taken by surprise by the "betrayal" and he never expected to be slapped by Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang landed calmly and took the old oil lamp tightly held in Li Xiangtian’s hand.

It was very strange because as soon as Chu Jiang grabbed the oil lamp, the wick instantly lit up with a spooky green flame.

However, Chu Jiang had a very uneasy feeling that his life seemed to be connected to this lamp in a mysterious and inexplicable way.

Chu Jiang even subconsciously thought about throwing the lamp away.

But before letting go, Chu Jiang forcefully stopped his instinctive reaction.

He was alive just a moment ago, but the lamp went out. Did this mean that the holder’s life and the flame of the lamp were connected as one?

The lamp went out because Li Xiangtian died.

So, when Chu Jiang accidentally extinguished the oil lamp, he would probably become the most unfortunate person, ending up killing himself while trying to pick up a souvenir.

In any case, Chu Jiang carefully placed the old oil lamp on the ground before attempting to slowly release his grip.

After about ten breaths, Chu Jiang realized that the connection between himself and the oil lamp had been severed. Then, the lamp extinguished on its own, and he didn’t die.

This roughly allowed Chu Jiang to grasp some patterns.

After thinking for a moment, instead of using his hand to touch the oil lamp, he threw it into the inner space of the Left Hand Ghost.

Then, Chu Jiang instructed the Ghost Master outside to come in and clean up Li Xiangtian’s body.

Actually, at this moment, the eradication operation was not yet over, because apart from a group of surrendered Ghost Masters and ordinary people, there were still some die-hard individuals hiding in the Lian Mansion, attempting to resist.

However, Chu Jiang and Xinxin didn’t need to participate in the upcoming actions.

The leader of the Ghost Master force sent some personnel to cooperate with Chu Jiang’s operation.

Using a loudspeaker, someone announced, "Listen, everyone in the building, Li Xiangtian has been killed by Captain Chu! This is your last chance, surrender within one minute or we will begin the attack!"

Amidst the repeated announcements, Xinxin fell to the ground and looked at Chu Jiang. "Is that a ghost power you have?"

Chu Jiang shook his head. "You can think of it as a seal, well, a dangerous seal."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang instinctively looked at his left hand. In the pile of objects in the dark space, there was a rectangular card with a deep black border.

On the card was a white tiger perched within a large bronze vessel.

The blood-red eyes of the white tiger flickered, as if they were looking directly at Chu Jiang from a hand’s distance away…

That’s right, Chu Jiang was borrowing the power of the White Tiger card. It was a prop he had brought out from the ancient castle.

And you could say it was a bug in the card that brought it out. Normally, cards should only be used inside the castle, but Chu Jiang managed to bring it out in a way that went beyond the rules, thanks to Ghost Bride.

Since no one died, the card remained in his hand.

Before, Chu Jiang used the Left Hand Ghost and Blood Hand Ghost to hit the Umbrella Ghost secretly using the White Tiger’s ability called "Specter". He marked the Umbrella Ghost.

After successfully marking it, he could make the target willingly do anything for him within a short period of time.

Chu Jiang was originally unsure if he could use this on ghosts, but the results of this experiment showed that he could. However, it seemed that controlling living people was easier and lasted longer.

But Chu Jiang was worried. This ability came from a trapped S-class ghost, and he didn’t know what could happen if he used it too much.

Not to mention, he also carried a curse called "White Tiger Fury" on him. So in the future, he should avoid using it as much as possible.

……

About ten minutes later, under the leadership of Chu Jiang and Xinxin, the Ghost Master team officially launched a strong attack on the Lian Mansion.

The Ghost Master team was well-trained and coordinated, and within half an hour, they put an end to all resistance.

Then they proceeded to capture prisoners, count the number of deaths, and confiscate spoils of war.

In this matter, Chu Jiang and his team didn’t intervene. They simply allowed the people from the research institute to take action. They remained spectators throughout, ensuring that no unexpected situations occurred.

……

Outside, the news of Research Institute No. 21 officially eradicating the Ghost Hunting Society has been spreading like wildfire within the paranormal community since the operation began.

Because the research institute didn’t only target the Ghost Hunting Society headquarters, but also all its branches, such a large-scale operation could not be concealed in any way.

In fact, the research institute didn’t intend to keep it secret. They even personally released the news that Chu Jiang and Xinxin were leading the team to eliminate the Ghost Hunting Society. The purpose was to deter certain restless civilian organizations and Ghost Masters within the country.

And the effect was quite good, especially when news spread that the Ghost Hunting Society’s president was killed by Chu Jiang…
