Chapter 107 I won’t kill you

"As you can see, I... am already a ghost."

Chen Li looked at Jiang Xuantong and remained silent.

His knife was at his waist, but he couldn't pull it out.

It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to.

Jiang Xuantong continued, saying that he no longer called himself a master in front of Chen Li.

"I once thought that what I pursued in this life was not the world's common people, nor the righteousness of mankind, but the sublimation of the level of life, that is, the improvement of realm and strength. Of course, when I was a human being, I wanted to take both of the first two into consideration."

"But after a hundred years, when I was about to reach the end of my life and faced death, I realized that what I had been pursuing was not just power."

"——There is still life."

"Even gods cannot escape the fate of dying."

"Only ghosts are the only anomalies in this world. They can transcend life and death and ignore life span."

"I thought I could accept death willingly, but when I actually faced death, I realized how terrible death is."

Jiang Xuantong hooked his fingers, and his sword immediately flew out of the scabbard, and then floated in front of his eyes, glowing coldly under the moonlight.

He gently stroked the blade and continued: "My hundred years of cultivation will disappear from this world with death."

"I can no longer see everything in this world with my own eyes, and everything in the world can no longer feel my presence."

"I don't want to accept this."

With a clang, the knife was sheathed again, and Jiang Xuantong also looked at Chen Li, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

"Human beings have limits, Chen Li."

"So I am willing to become a ghost."

"Of course, I didn't decide to do this from the beginning." He shook his head and said, "Since I accepted you and Liu Ai as my disciples four years ago, my life span has come to an end and I may die at any time."

"At that time, I was always struggling."

"I told myself that as long as you and Liu Ai are here, my inheritance will not be broken, and there will still be traces of me in this world."

"But it's no use."

"The battle in Du'an City the day before yesterday made me completely realize that my strength has declined, and I am really going to die."

"After struggling for four years, I finally woke up after that."

"So...there is the me you see now."

After the words fell, Chen Li did not respond for a long time.

He didn't expect that even Jiang Xuantong was afraid of death and chose to become a ghost.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "How does it feel to become a ghost? Teacher."

Hearing this, it was Jiang Xuantong's turn to be stunned.

Normally, shouldn't Chen Li want to express his disappointment and anger towards him and even draw a sword against him, vowing to get rid of this ghost like him?

He looked at Chen Li for a while and said in surprise: "You also want to become a ghost?"

"No." Chen Li shook his head: "I'm just curious."

"I see."

Jiang Xuantong nodded and said truthfully: "When I become a ghost, my life force becomes extremely abundant, as if it is endless. Even if I am seriously injured, I can recover instantly."

"Also, the feeling of death has finally disappeared, and my strength has improved."

"At the same time, I can also notice that I have some kind of inexplicable ability - this should be the unique ability of ghosts. I haven't figured out how to use it yet."

"These are the benefits."

Jiang Xuantong frowned and said: "If it's bad... there is restlessness in my blood, which affects my mind."

"I think this is the urge to eat people, and this urge is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by - I can't suppress it for too long."

"The good me is gradually changing to the other extreme."

Hearing this, Chen Li nodded and said, "Is that so?"

"In other words, will the teacher eat people in the future?"

Chen Li spoke very calmly, but Jiang Xuantong noticed Chen Li's sadness.

Chen Li...feels sad for him.

"I can't guarantee it."

Jiang Xuantong shook his head and sighed: "If you want to kill me, now is the best time, because after becoming a ghost, I will become stronger and stronger."

"However, please forgive me. I will not sit still and wait to be killed. If you want to kill me, you must win with strength."     "I will not kill you, teacher."

Chen Li looked at Jiang Xuantong and lowered his eyes: "I am a very selfish person."

"You are my teacher. Even if you become a ghost, I will not kill you."

"Unless the teacher wants to eat me, I will kill the teacher."

Jiang Xuantong asked: "What if I do many evil things in the future?"

"Someone else will go to attack the teacher."

"Is it……"

Chen Li and Jiang Xuantong, one person and one ghost, were talking quietly under the moonlight.

"Teacher, you have to leave tonight."

"Yeah, remember to say sorry for me, Xiao Ai."

"Will do."

After Chen Li finished speaking, with a "clang" sound, he drew his sword out of its sheath, pointing directly at Jiang Xuantong.

"However, before the teacher leaves, I hope to have a battle with the teacher."

"I have been the teacher's disciple for four years, and I have never fought with the teacher with all my strength."

"This time, I want to compete with the teacher with pure sword skills, without using any other power - just treat it as the disciple... giving the teacher a final farewell."

Jiang Xuantong eventually turned into a ghost, and as he himself said, he gradually lost control of his bloodthirsty desire.

It would be difficult for Chen Li to interact with Jiang Xuantong like this in the future.

This battle will cut off everything between them.

Facing the invitation sent by Chen Li, Jiang Xuantong did not refuse and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

The next second, the two figures disappeared in unison.

That thousand-meter altitude is their battlefield this time.

……

After Liu Ai fell asleep, her body seemed to sense some dangerous aura and kept tossing and turning.

About an hour later, she suddenly woke up as if she had dreamed of some nightmare, and her upper body instantly left the bed and sat up.

It was quiet.

Only the sound of crickets could be heard outside the window.

But Liu Ai just felt something was wrong.

The smell in the air... made her body shudder, as if some terrifying power was spreading.

Out of uneasiness, she finally did not continue to sleep, but left the room and came to Chen Li's room.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Knowing that Chen Li didn't sleep at night, she knocked on the door directly.

After a few seconds, without waiting for Chen Li's voice, Liu Ai realized something was wrong and couldn't help but push the door open.

The door was unlocked.

As expected, the bed was empty and Chen Li was not there.

Seeing this, Liu Ai frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.

She did not hesitate, immediately walked out of the house and began to look for traces of Chen Li.

However, she searched the entire mountain and never found Chen Li.

Even her teacher Jiang Xuantong seemed to have disappeared from the world at this moment.

Suddenly, her cheeks felt cold, and a feeling of moisture came over her.

It's raining?

She wiped her cheeks subconsciously.

Under the white moonlight, she caught a glimpse of the bright red on her fingers from the corner of her eye.

That is blood.
