Chapter 92: Cheng Yuan’s attack and counterattack

In my heart, I was willing to believe in Chengyuan, but from a rational point of view, I could not possibly trust Chengyuan. I let go of the hand that was stopping Chengyuan, but I always maintained a high degree of vigilance in my heart. When Chengyuan was making the hand gestures, I even whispered to Lushan and Xiao Chengqian that if anything went wrong, I would immediately step in to protect Chengyuan, and I was ready to do so at any time.

“Brother, you’d better hurry,” Hui Gen’er’s voice came from the bow of the boat. It wasn’t that he was weak, but he was on the boat, and the point of leverage wasn’t very good. He had to exert a lot of strength to stabilize the boat, but in contrast, Tao Bai didn’t show anything in particular, but I felt that he was a little more relaxed than Hui Gen’er.

This Tao Bai, really… I don’t know how to describe it.

“You should believe in Chengyuan.” At this time, Chengyuan had already begun to chant. Xiao Chengqian suddenly took out an iron box from his pocket, took out a slender cigar from it, lit it up very elegantly, and then said to me.

I glanced at Chengyuan. This girl was completely cut off from her five senses at this time. Looking at her recite the incantation methodically, although it was a bit less smooth and agile, it was better than being mediocre. This little girl was working very hard, but…

“Belief and trust are two different things.” I refused Xiao Chengqian’s offer of a cigar. He glared at me, probably remembering something from a long time ago.

“It’s just a ghost king-level existence, a little more powerful than the ones we’ve dealt with before. If you and I want to deal with it, as long as we’re not on the ship, there are at least ten ways to do it. It’s just taking advantage of its superiority in the water, using mental power to seize our weakness on the ship, and messing with the ship’s body.” Xiao Chengqian exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly.

He was actually analyzing with me, telling me that the ship was stable and that it would be no problem to deal with this guy. Yes, after the ship stabilized, we immediately saw that the one hiding underwater was just a ghost king, and in a place like Little Hell, it is only natural that there is one or more ghost kings.

The hand gesture for uniting the soul is complicated. Watching Cheng Yuan’s serious expression, I really wanted to reach out and touch the girl’s hair. I suddenly felt like I was back in that winter morning when I took her away from the family building… Time passed too quickly. Now she can also fight a ghost-like existence methodically. Although it is somewhat against the law in our Li family, it is similar to a “cheating” method—uniting the soul!

But I knew that Xiao Chengqian wouldn’t be so annoying to me for no reason, so I asked him, “Just say it.”

“I want to say that you should try to let go. Understand?” Xiao Chengqian said to me seriously.

“Let go of what?” I looked at Xiao Chengqian in puzzlement.

“That is to say, don’t take everything on yourself. Since you decided to enter the little hell, haven’t you noticed that you’re so nervous that you’re not even like yourself? Look, there…” Xiao Chengqian pointed to the distance with his hand. With the unique hazy light in this natural formation, I saw that the place he was pointing at was the Black Mountain.

After the storm, we would not leave Black Mountain for a few miles, and our eyes could still clearly see the shadow of Black Mountain, which meant that we had encountered so many things after entering it for only a short distance.

My face was ugly, but I didn’t want to take Xiao Chengqian’s words. I yelled at Huigen, “Kid, just hold on for five more minutes. Chengyuan will be completed soon.”

“Hmm!” Hui Gen responded, and I frowned and discovered that Hui Gen and the ghost king were “wrestling,” and the ghost king was unusually honest in “wrestling” with Hui Gen. If it were a normal ghost king, it would have attacked us in another way long ago. This is really strange.

“Chengyi, don’t run away.” Xiao Chengqian interrupted my thoughts and suddenly shouted.

I looked at Xiao Chengqian, and there was a fire in my heart. What was I running away from? I just couldn’t lose anyone else who was important to me, even if I was afraid that everything would fall on me.

“Don’t you understand? We’ve only just entered the little hell, and we’ve already encountered so many things! You should let go and try to let everyone take on their own responsibilities. How do you know that they, no, including me, don’t want to help you share the burden? Just like Chengyuan now. She said she could do it, so you let her do it, trusting her completely. You’re acting like you’re ready to help at any time. What’s the point? You don’t know that you’re putting us all under a lot of pressure?” Xiao Chengqian said at the end, and his emotions were a little out of control. He actually spoke louder and louder.

At this point, everyone turned to look at me. Chengxin suddenly sighed and said to me, “Chengyi, he’s right. This time, you should step back and let Chengyuan do her thing.”

After Chengxin said this, almost everyone nodded in agreement. I was angry. Why did everyone oppose me? Don’t they understand that I just don’t want to lose again, that I can’t afford to lose again? I’d rather lose myself than lose anyone else… I’m from the Shan family, I should bear the responsibility!

I really wanted to say no out loud, but at this time, as an outsider, Lu Shan pulled me back. On the other side, Cheng Yuan had already completed the hand gestures for merging souls, and was about to release the souls. This stage was an extremely strict test of the foundation of spiritual power. I could easily do this, but Cheng Yuan was having a hard time doing it. She was flushed, with beads of sweat all over her face…

I looked at her and was worried. This time, it was Xiao Chengqian who held me tightly and said to me, “Finding the previous generation is not your business alone. Why do you have to take it all on? Look at how nervous you are. You look like you need a beating.”

I was very angry and wanted to push Xiao Chengqian away, but at that moment, Chengyuan suddenly groaned, and then a jiao spirit flew out of Chengyuan’s body and immediately wrapped around the strange grasping arms outside the boat!

“See?” Xiao Chengqian let go of me, and my clenched fist also loosened because of the tension.

The spirit of the dragon looked at me, roared the next moment, pulled hard, and then flew into the air, actually dragging the strange claws away!

Cheng Yuan, who was sitting in the cabin, had already opened his eyes, but there was almost no expression in his eyes. I knew it well, because the look that the Jiaohun gave me just now clearly revealed an emotion, an emotion that reassured me.

It was even more complete than my own state. At this moment, it could be said that the entire spirit of the dragon was the will of Cheng Yuan, because the spirit of the dragon could even convey the will of Cheng Yuan to me with its eyes!

If her skills improve a little more, she can even use the spirit directly to perform magic…

It is worthy of the Jiaochun that has been passed down for generations. I was too shocked to react, and the next moment, the Jiaochun had already released the strange claws that were wrapped around it. It flicked its tail, and the tail hit the strange claws hard!

A roar of thunder shook the water, and the claws retracted into the water. The water began to boil, and it looked as if a big storm was brewing.

But the spirit of the dragon in the sky showed a hint of disdain in its eyes. The next moment, it rushed into the water.

“Chengyuan, don’t…” I shouted, because I was worried. I was afraid that the water was like the gate of hell I had seen, hiding a large number of ghosts.

This time, it was Chengqing who stopped me. He was as calm as ever, and said to me, “Chengyi, let Chengyuan do it! Haven’t you noticed that the series of agile performances by the Jiaohun just now were the perfect fit of the combined souls of Chengyuan and Jiaohun, and even the Jiaohun’s original fighting instinct was instinctively used?

I looked at Cheng Qing and said, “Cheng Qing, how could you also…?”

“Jiao Huan was sealed in the seal before, and Yuan Yi and the others from his lineage could only use it to seal things. When did you see Jiao Huan fight like this, especially with that tail swing and familiar entanglement? Didn’t you see that Jiao Huan was completely revived in Cheng Yuan’s hands? Don’t take everything onto yourself. When it comes to combining souls, Cheng Yuan is now better than you. Don’t you understand?” Cheng Qing said to me, rarely and unconditionally.

This time, he didn’t put me in the position of the eldest brother. In my nervous silence, he patted my shoulder and said to me, “Chengyi, I will also fight, just like you, with my life. I’m just giving you a heads-up in advance, hoping that you won’t take everything on yourself like you do with Chengyuan now.”

As soon as Chengqing finished speaking, a huge purple figure shot out of the water and began to writhe and struggle in the air above the lake. It was tightly wrapped in the spirit of the dragon!

Here, I saw Cheng Yuan take out the seal that Yuan Yi had used from his backpack.
