Chapter 1078: Chapter 1050 Ghost Spirit

Late at night, a desolate village near the forest, devoid of people.

Listening to the eerie cries coming from some unknown place, any ordinary person would feel a chill down their spine, wouldn’t they?

Li Chen felt the same way, and even goosebumps were faintly rising on his skin.

But after a flush of True Qi, that feeling disappeared instantly.

He wasn’t an ordinary person; he was a Martial Artist, and one who stood among the true powerhouses as an Earth-Level Warrior.

Although the current situation was a bit strange, it wasn’t enough to make him frightened.

Even if it were truly a ghost, under the powerful True Qi of an Earth-level expert, it would be reduced to dust with a slap.

Attempting to use True Qi to probe the surroundings, Li Chen’s perception revealed nothing but empty houses, devoid of anything else.

Yet, the eerie cries continued to resonate continually.

Li Chen could confirm that it was definitely not wind or sounds of other animals. With his current power, he wouldn’t make such mistakes.

But then, what is the reason behind these cries?

To solve the problem, he would have to start from the root.

Opening the door, Li Chen directly came to the inn’s entrance.

"Damn it! What the hell are you crying about in the middle of the night? How can anyone sleep?!!"

The huge sound wave exploded with Li Chen at the center, sweeping in all directions.

Following his roar, the entire village fell silent, even the cries disappeared, seemingly frightened by this guy who played by his own rules.

As for Zhang Jing, Li Chen had already sealed the room with True Qi, so Zhang Jing inside couldn’t hear the outside noises.

After Li Chen’s howl, the dark village plunged once again into a prolonged silence.

He looked around with satisfaction and nodded, then turned his head intending to return to his room.

However, just as he reached the doorway, the eerie cries again came from some unknown direction.

Li Chen stopped his steps, showing a cold smile on his face: "Looks like you didn’t take my words seriously."

Turning around, Li Chen directly walked out from the inn.

"I was planning to enter the mountains tomorrow without bothering about this, but you are the one stirring up trouble!"

While in the room, Li Chen found it a bit difficult to judge, but once outside the inn, he almost instantly determined the direction of the sound source.

With a flash, Li Chen raced towards the left side of the inn.

Just around the corner, Li Chen caught a glimpse of a white shadow flickering past.

"There really is something!"

Li Chen’s eyes glinted: "Whatever you are, since you want to play, I’ll play along!"

With a step, Li Chen once again chased after the white shadow.

As he turned the corner, Li Chen saw the white shadow crouched down in the distance.

The cries came again: "Woo~~"

"Still crying?" Li Chen raised his palm, a blast of True Qi shot at the white shadow.

The cries were abruptly cut off, replaced by a short, sharp scream as the white shadow started fleeing frantically.

"Running pretty fast." Li Chen squinted slightly, noticing that the white shadow was not actually touching the ground as it fled.

"No way, it’s really a ghost?"

Li Chen had always been skeptical about the existence of ghosts, but now he had to trust his eyes.

The white shadow felt aggrieved, incredibly aggrieved.

Right now, it felt like there were ten thousand alpacas named in its heart, rampaging wildly.

Normally, ordinary people would be scared out of their wits upon seeing it, but this time the roles were reversed, it’s the one terrified.

After seeing it, the horrifying guy not only didn’t run away but actually followed.

Originally, it confidently believed its speed would easily toy with that guy.

But unexpectedly, not only was that guy’s speed astonishing, he could even launch remote attacks! It could feel the flash of light just then could truly end its life.

Subsequently, it dared not have any other thoughts and focused solely on fleeing.

However, it didn’t run far before realizing it was blocked.

The terrifying guy, without anyone noticing, was already standing in front of it.

"How can he be so fast?!" As soon as this thought surfaced, it felt itself being controlled by an irresistible force.

"Is this thing a ghost?" Li Chen looked at the white figure he had grasped with True Qi with a peculiar expression.

From the appearance, it indeed had the form of a human, a woman even.

However, Li Chen could sense that this was entirely an energy form; if he applied True Qi forcefully, this thing might directly turn into ashes.

"Speak, what are you exactly, and what’s your purpose in crying out here." Li Chen smirked: "My time is limited, if you can’t prove your worth in three seconds, I’ll send you off to reincarnation. By the way, I wonder if you can still reincarnate after being crushed by True Qi?"

As soon as Li Chen’s words ended, he saw the female ghost look at him in utter terror, pointing at her mouth, then frantically shaking her head.

"Can’t speak?" Li Chen frowned: "It doesn’t matter to me! Disturbing my rest, if you can’t prove your worth now, I’ll crush you all the same."

"Alright, counting starts now, one."

The female ghost was stunned again, then showed a significantly terrified expression.

When Li Chen counted to two, it finally reacted, hurriedly pointing towards the inn multiple times.

"Over there? Damn! Fooled!"

As soon as the female ghost pointed out the direction, Li Chen noticed that the True Qi he used to seal the door of Zhang Jing’s room was broken.

Without any hesitation, Li Chen rushed towards the inn, not even bothering with the female ghost.

This level of ghost could still be dealt with by a Yellow Rank Martial Artist using True Qi, thus posing no real threat to him.

However, for someone capable of breaking his True Qi seal on the room, it would not be so simple.

Li Chen returned to the inn immediately.

Upon entering, his expression grew dark.

The room lights remained on, but the True Qi sealing the room was indeed broken.

The bed where Zhang Jing was sleeping had also vanished without a trace.

From the previous encounter with the female ghost, Li Chen could sense that True Qi, being refined energy, could suppress ghost spirits, and while the True Qi sealing the room would weaken considerably after he left, it wouldn’t be broken easily.

"Either it’s an incredibly powerful ghost spirit." Li Chen clenched his fists.

"Or there’s something else!"
