“Just such a trap and you think you can trap me?”
After confirming that this was merely a pit, the changgui’s laughter rang out again, with a tone full of sarcasm towards Xu Taiping.
Even if you can trap this body, so what? I am a ghost cultivator and can have my soul leave the body!
Amid the changgui’s sarcastic words, Xu Taiping silently pulled out the long knife from his waist and stood quietly beside a tightly stretched rope, as if waiting for something.
“Boom！…”
Just then, a gust of yin wind suddenly gushed out from that pit.
“Shua！”
The long knife in Xu Taiping’s hand cuts down towards that rope without hesitation.
“Pa！”
Several jars of strong liquor hanging by the rope suddenly fell and happened to smash into that deep pit.
A thick aroma of wine instantly spread.
”Trying to crush me to death with stones, wait！ Alcohol！ This is alcohol！ Ah！…”
The spirit of the changgui that had already left its body suddenly saw several heavy objects falling down and thought that Xu Taiping wanted to crush it to death in the trap. And when the smell of alcohol began to spread in the pit, it was too late for it to escape.
”Ah！…”
”Who？ Who told you that this king’s vulnerable thing is alcohol？ Ah！…”
”Could it be… could it be that bitch？ Ah！… Bitch！ It must be that bitch！”
The painful wailing and swearing continuously rang out in the pit.
The ghost of the changgui, after being contaminated with the smell of alcohol, was like encountering a poisonous without an antidote and could only turn into black yin qi and continuously scurry around in the pit.
Standing on the edge of the trap, Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
”If I didn’t know that the weakness of this changgui is alcohol, I probably really wouldn’t have had any chance of winning this time.”
Recalling the scenes just now, Xu Taiping felt a burst of fear in his heart.
Without taking risks one after another to make that changgui let its guard down; without desperately cultivating and breaking through the freezing period during this time; without these jars of strong alcohol, his cultivation path might really have stopped here.
“Little hero… save me… as long as you let me possess you… I… can… can tell you the locations of the treasures… I’ve collected over the years… and buried！…”
Just then, a ghost face condensed from yin qi struggled to emerge from the trap and pleaded with Xu Taiping extremely difficult.
“Let me ask you a question.” Xu Taiping ignored the pleading of the changgui. “Besides you, who else knows the location of the water vein spring in Qingzhu Residence？”
“Pull me out and I’ll tell you！”
The changgui wanted to make a deal with Xu Taiping.
“Will you say it or not？”
Xu Taiping shook the wine jar in his hand.
“Don’t！”
After seeing the wine jar, the changgui immediately let out a shrill and miserable scream, and the hands formed by its yin soul swung frantically.
“Besides me, no one knows. I only found out by chance after killing the previous owner of Qingzhu Residence！”
The changgui explained extremely fast.
“You’re not telling the truth.”
“No, everything I said is the truth. Please, please take away that wine jar！”
Xu Taiping probed the changgui again and found that it really didn’t seem to be lying.
However, even so, he didn’t put down the wine jar in his hand. Instead, he uncovered the mud seal on it.
“Lad, what are you doing? I really didn’t lie to you！”
The spirit of the changgui, who thought Xu Taiping was going to pour wine on himself again, exclaimed repeatedly, and his voice was trembling.
“Ask you another question.” Xu Taiping put his head to the mouth of the wine jar and sniffed it before looking up at the ghost of the changgui again. “How strong is the strength of the tiger demon you call the king, and does it have any weaknesses？”
“This… This…”
When hearing Xu Taiping ask a question related to the tiger demon, the changgui immediately became cautious and hesitant to speak.
“If I talk about the king’s matter, I will really, really only have a dead end！”
The changgui looked at Xu Taiping with a pleading tone.
“If you don’t say it, I will make your soul fly away immediately.”
Xu Taiping put his hand into the wine jar, dipped some wine, and showed an innocent smile to the changgui before flicking all the wine on his hand onto the changgui.
“Ah！…”
The shrill cry of the changgui resounded through the mountains and wilds.
However, within a radius of a hundred miles are all barren mountains. Even if he shouts loudly, I’m afraid no one can hear it.
“Have you considered it？”
After the shrill cry stopped, Xu Taiping dipped some more wine on his hand and showed his innocent smile to the changgui again.
“The Great King is the king of all beasts, with the body of a spiritual tiger. Different from us ghosts, it has no weaknesses. However, half a month ago, it was severely injured by several disciples from the Seven Peaks. It will take at least three months to recover. It is precisely because of this that it sent us ghosts to the west to look for blood food for it.” Having said this, the ghost paused for a moment, looking at Xu Taiping with a hint of contempt in its eyes. “Forgive me for speaking first, even in its severely injured state, my Great King can still easily kill you.”
“It still needs three months to recover from the injury, and the time is equivalent to the deadline for me to break through to the Open Door Realm…”
Xu Taiping frowned and thought secretly .
This expression, when seen in the eyes of the ghost, seemed like fear of the tiger demon.
The ghost’s heart suddenly rejoiced. Enduring the severe pain of its yin soul being burned by the alcohol vapor, it warned Xu Taiping in a threatening tone：
“So I advise you to let me go. After all, if my soul scatters, the Great King will definitely be able to know！”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping raised his head and seriously looked at the ghost. Suddenly, he threw a wine jar he was carrying in his hand high into the air and used his true qi to send out a palm strike from a distance.
“Bang！”
The wine jar was shattered by Xu Taiping’s palm qi. The wine filled the sky drifted down like rain and all fell into the trap.
“Ah！ …… Shameless bastard！ You wait, the Great King, the Great King will come to avenge me！”
A shrill and miserable scream suddenly resounded throughout the mountain and wild.
Xu Taiping turned a deaf ear to this and only threw a torch that he had prepared for a long time into it.
“Grandpa said that one should fight evil with evil and repay kindness with kindness. One must never do things like seeking skins from tigers or colluding with each other.”
Listening to the screams of the changgui in the trap, Xu Taiping muttered to himself without changing his expression.
“Boom！”
Because the torch ignited the dry firewood laid under the trap, and the dry firewood borrowed the alcohol vapor and burned up all of a sudden. The flames rose more than one zhang high.
“Roar！ ……”
And just as the flames rose up, a tiger’s roar suddenly rang out from the flames. Immediately following the flames turned into a huge tiger’s head.
“How dare you kill my chang slave？”
The tiger roared at Xu Taiping.
“I heard that you were seriously injured by several Qifeng disciples and need three to five months to recover. Is this the truth？”
Because of the previous words of the changgui, Xu Taiping was not too surprised by the appearance of this virtual shadow of the tiger demon. Instead, he asked the tiger demon with a smile on his face.
“Nonsense, this king’s injury will be healed in at most three months！”
The Tiger King almost blurted out.
However, just as the words came out of its mouth, it realized something was wrong and immediately said angrily:
“How dare you trick this king？”
