The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 317: Ghost King! (Fifth Update)

As the revealing charm burned, the sea was filled with golden light, as resentful spirits rose to the heavens, and the surrounding area filled with a biting cold wind!

Suddenly, dozens of water ghosts began to expose their ghastly forms!

All of their faces were pallid and swollen, gradually decaying. Yet, their eyes bore a malicious glint, akin to that of bloodsucking leeches!

There were male ghosts, female ghosts, old ghosts, and young ghosts…

Like a harmonious gathering, they began to encircle the seductive women who were entertaining themselves in the water!

Any individual with a fear of crowds would have undoubtedly lost consciousness from fear!

Quiet!

Silent!

An eerie silence!

The eyes of the seductive women grew wide with shock!

Yue Dazhuang and his workers on the shore had their hearts in their mouths, unable to breathe!

In the next moment!

The swarm of water ghosts began to clutch onto the seductive women tightly, intending to drag them alive into the water to their impending death!

“Ah!! No! Help! Save me!”

Bursting with frantic cries, some of the women were already grabbed by the water ghosts and were unable to break free. They sank like weights, choking and gasping for air.

“Do you see that? I didn’t lie to you, did I? Look…this is how water ghosts seek substitutes. These people will drown, become new water ghosts, seek more substitutes, and so the cycle continues, ceaseless in death.” Huang Xiaolong said to Yue Dazhuang with a grin.

“Master!! Please save us!” Yue Dazhuang immediately kneels in front of Huang Xiaolong, “If these people die, I will have to pay with my life…”

“Hahaha-calm down, calm down, with me here, they won’t die.” Huang Xiaolong laughed leisurely. “500 thousand.”

“Um? Master, what do you mean?” Yue Dazhuang looked slightly taken aback.

“Considering the vast quantity of water ghosts, 500 thousand is a reasonable price. What I mean is: for 500 thousand, I’ll take care of all of it!” Huang Xiaolong stretched his muscles and bones.

Yue Dazhuang grit his teeth. “Master, deal! I’ll give you 500 thousand!”

Though Huang Xiaolong despised the seductive women, he could not just stand by and watch them drown at the hands of the water ghosts.

Nevertheless, even if Yue Dazhuang didn’t offer a penny, Huang Xiaolong would still intervene!

As the saying goes, faster than words can tell, Huang Xiaolong began to chant a spell, golden light radiating from his body in an instant.

Simultaneously, golden symbols, vivid as fish and dragons, floated over the sea, their majestic pressure like mountains, intending to suppress the swarm of water ghosts!

At this moment, standing on the shore, Huang Xiaolong’s face revealed a compassionate expression, lamenting over the fate of the world yet remaining formidable and awe-inspiring!

Yue Dazhuang and the others were deeply shaken, all prostrating on the ground.

These water ghosts suddenly felt an impending doom under the influence of this force and, one by one, released the humans they had captured, diving into the water and swimming in all eight directions.

However, Huang Xiaolong obviously wouldn’t give them any chance of escape!

Om! Ma! Ni! Pad! Me! Hum!

The six syllable mantra recitation followed!

As the words came out, the law followed!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Water columns rose from above the sea!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sounds of destruction rang out as the bodies of the water ghosts trying to escape were obliterated, turning into dust!

All annihilated!

After a few breaths, the sea became calm again.

The enchanting girls looked around, soon feeling a sense of relief, as if they had just survived a catastrophe.

“My God That scared me to death… what were those? Water monkeys?”

“They must be ghosts… My goodness! Handsome guy, you’re so awesome! You saved us!”

“Handsome guy! You’ve saved me again! You are too badass!” The enchanting girl blushed and screamed hysterically. “From today on, I will follow you, serve you, work like an ox and a horse, whatever you ask me to do…”

“I hope this handsome guy will take care of me, I can cook Sichuan and Cantonese food!”

“I hope this handsome guy will take care of me, I can massage and do foot baths…”

“I hope this handsome guy will take care of me, I can’t do anything else, but I’m quite… hehehe… good at oral things…”

These girls, each with a strong worldly air about them, poured their hearts out to Huang Xiaolong, trying their best to sell themselves, uttering all sorts of unseemly words. They all had that lovesick look on their faces.

“Damn it! Are you guys finished? Hurry up and get up!” shouted Huang Xiaolong angrily.

“Whew Finally, it’s over…” Yue Dazhuang knelt on the ground, heaving a sigh of relief.

At this time, all the enchanting girls scrambled to get on the shore. Although scared to the point of turning pale, their young and sexy bodies, under the cover of little clothing, still radiated an unusual charm.

Huang Xiaolong, however, had no interest in appreciating these sights. His pupils slightly narrowed as he looked out at the sea.

A few seconds later, a strange look appeared in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, “There still is a sinister energy… and it’s very strong… Not all the water ghosts in this area have been killed…”

“Ah? Master, you mean there are still water ghosts left? My God, we’ve killed so many already, and there’s still more?” Yue Dazhuang was shivering again, as if he’d just stepped on a sifter.

“To be precise, there is still one water ghost left, and it’s the most powerful one. The ones that were just killed, they were all its minions, not worth mentioning.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed with a hint of excitement. “There is a very powerful ghost in this area, lurking like a dragon, invisible and undetectable…”

Just then!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The calm sea surface splashed with water, and clusters of sinister energy gathered together, forming into eerie, tadpole-like writings!

“What… what kind of script is that…” Yue Dazhuang felt that what he was experiencing tonight was just a dream, a nightmare!

“Hehehe This is a letter written by the ghost.” Huang Xiaolong started reading. “It is… the ‘Extermination Language’, also known as ‘Water Script’, also called ‘Ghost Script’, ‘Inverted Script’. It is a language written to be read by the dead. It’s also used for communication among ghosts…”

“Master, can… can you understand the language of ghosts?” Yue Dazhuang asked in shock.

“Of course, I can understand it…” As Huang Xiaolong read the letter, his expression subtly changed several times.

No one dared to disturb Huang Xiaolong.

After a few minutes, Huang Xiaolong finally finished reading. He laughed, “Hehehe Things are getting a bit tricky, but also a bit interesting… Oh, the big boss of this area is a rather high-level ghost, yes, a Ghost King.”

Ghosts are categorized into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. For instance, Huang Xiaolong’s maid ‘Mengyao’ is a purple-clad ghost, a ghost deep in the Tao.

But what no one would have ever thought was that deep in this sea area, there was a presence even more powerful than Mengyao!

For all these years, Mengyao the purple-clad ghost had always remained in Binhai, but she had never discovered this Ghost King!

Ghost King!

“Ghost King, the king among the ghosts. Its orders are obeyed by millions of ghosts… In folk tales, some even worship the Ghost King as a god…” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly, “When the Ghost King is enraged, blood flows, white banners fly… In terms of power, even the lower-ranked gods can’t compare…”

“Ghost… Ghost King…” Yue Dazhuang shuddered, “Master…you…you… you can defeat the Ghost King, right?”

“Let’s not talk about whether it can be defeated or not…” Huang Xiaolong laughed. He then turned to the group of worldly girls with a meaningful look. “Just now, the Ghost King and I discussed about some conditions… hehehe
