I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 365: Body Refinement Can Exorcise Ghosts

The shadowy figure was utterly incredulous!

Moreover, these puppet warriors were not simply broken apart; according to the perception of the shadow, the spiritual cores of these two warriors were directly destroyed!

Therefore, even if you manage to piece it together, it will be of no use.

What's the matter?

This mortal just touched it, and he actually killed these two guards?

Not appropriate.

With his control over these two weapons, it would be no problem for him to drive away mortals, kill Mahayana cultivators, or even fight Saint-level cultivators to a standstill. However, the fact was so obvious in front of him that these two weapons were rendered useless.

The shadowy figure himself hadn't actually examined the two combatants. Perhaps because so much time had passed, the puppet combatants' cores had been depleted to almost nothing.

After all, there is nothing in this world that cannot be destroyed by the passage of time.

Even something forged like this.

The more the shadowy figure thought about it, the more plausible the explanation seemed, but now he was furious.

Why is it that at a time like this, everything that should be useful fails?

It's not that he didn't have other ways to drive this mortal out; if all else failed, he could just kill him. But it would be best not to let the blood of such an ant pollute the blessed land of the immortal lords.

The shadowy figure was burning with rage, yet couldn't find an outlet for his anger.

"Damn it, fine, since you won't leave, I'll just have to kick you out myself."

The shadowy figure vanished in a puff of black smoke. He didn't need to reveal his true identity; he only needed to mimic the appearance of a demon to scare the mortal away!

Then he would think that this place was some kind of ominous place and dare not come back.

"...That will do."

Gu Heng gathered some weeds from outside and used them to cover the two pieces of broken armor.

He didn't actually think the two suits of armor were good-looking, because compared to the palace, the armor was really out of place. If it hadn't fallen apart, he could have taken it with him and used it as a gatekeeper for the Gu family's medical clinic, which would have been a nice decoration.

However, Gu Heng felt that there might be something even better inside the palace.

He wouldn't mind taking something along as a side trip.

"Let's go in and take a look, but the gate isn't open yet. Does this mean that no one is managing this Ancient Secret Palace? It's such a beautiful place, it seems a bit of a waste if no one is managing it..."

Muttering to himself, Gu Heng walked towards the gate.

"Hey!"

The dark figure grinned maliciously as it lunged at Gu Heng.

"Oh?"

Turning around, Gu Heng was immediately startled: "Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

It was a dark, ghostly figure!

It also had two scarlet eyes and sharp teeth, and was grinning at him menacingly, while sticking out a long tongue.

Isn't this the most typical image of a wandering ghost?

"Die to me!"

The demon emitted a shriek and indistinct human speech.

"Damn it, this is a ghost!" Seeing the strange ghost rushing towards him, Gu Heng was terrified. But the more chaotic the situation, the less he could afford to panic, otherwise the evil ghost would surely find an opportunity to take advantage of him.

This wasn't the first time Gu Heng had seen a ghost.

Ghosts are a perfectly normal existence in this world. However, there are several types of wild ghosts. In Gu Heng's eyes, the one in front of him is the most dangerous kind of evil ghost, the kind that eats brains and takes over bodies!

But even a mortal like him isn't entirely without the ability to resist a ghost.

It is said that any ordinary person who practices martial arts and strengthens their physique will have "hot blood and righteous energy" in their body, which is extremely yang and strong, and is very effective in dealing with such yin and evil things.

Gu Heng has also trained his body with the help of the system, so he should be able to suppress evil spirits.

and so.

He didn't back down; instead, he faced the challenge head-on! "Bring him to justice, you evil spirit!"

Although Gu Heng didn't know how to mobilize his "righteous blood", he didn't think too much about it. He simply got into a fighting stance and threw a punch at the oncoming evil spirit!

"boom--!"

With a muffled thud, Gu Heng felt as if he had hit something soft and sticky.

Then I saw the dark, ghostly figure in front of me be shattered...

"what?"

He looked at his fist in surprise.

This...this evil spirit doesn't seem as powerful as I thought! It couldn't even withstand one of my attacks and was driven away so easily?

Gu Heng dared not claim that his punch, imbued with "righteous indignation," could annihilate the evil spirit. If it could, why would he bother running a clinic? He could simply become an exorcist and rake in money from mortals! So, it was probably just driven away by him.

Family members, body tempering really can exorcise ghosts!

Gu Heng thanked the system for its careful guidance in his heart, although strictly speaking, the system did nothing; it was all his hard work.

"But why is this place haunted...?"

Although the ghost was driven away.

But Gu Heng also began to worry.

This ancient secret palace looks magnificent and resplendent, so why are there still evil spirits lurking around?

Now Gu Heng had no choice but to quicken his pace and find Qin Yiyao as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if that little girl could deal with wild beasts, wouldn't she be scared to death if she encountered such a vicious ghost pouncing on her?

……

Deep within the ancient secret palace.

Wisps of black smoke gathered and coalesced back into a nearly invisible black shadow kneeling on the ground.

"How could this be... how could this happen?!"

The shadowy figure looked weakly at its own soul, which was severely damaged and on the verge of complete dissipation and death!

Just because that mortal's fist hit him!

Then the shadowy figure unleashed the most agonizing scream he had ever heard in his life!
