Just then, the ghostly creature in front of them underwent another strange change. With two "crack" sounds, another giant blood-red eye opened on the center of its forehead at each of its four corners. A foul wind arose, and its power intensified. With a ghostly howl, a flash of blood-red light struck the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram with a "pop," shattering it instantly. The red light, having broken through the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram, struck Chao Bufan's chest once more.
"puff!"
Chao Bufan coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward. A moment later, his solid body slammed into the trunk of a large tree and then crashed to the ground with a thud.
"puff!"
Chao Bufan coughed up another mouthful of blood. The fall left him dazed and disoriented, his body feeling as if it had been broken apart. The ghost did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead suddenly released a sinister aura, trapping Chao Bufan firmly in place.
"Hahahaha... Hahahaha..." From within the black mist, Su Haijun burst into wild laughter, extremely smug. The resentment that had been bottled up inside him now erupted, becoming increasingly uncontrollable. "Super extraordinary, I thought you were so capable, but you're nothing special! Hahahaha, I never thought you'd have this day!"
Chao Bufan stood up shakily, looking very strained. His throat felt hot, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of hot blood, staining a large area of his clothes red. He felt stars flashing before his eyes and his whole body was in excruciating pain.
"Damn it, I overestimated myself this time." He cursed under his breath, realizing he had underestimated the ghost's strength and suffered a great loss.
"Hehe, extraordinary indeed. How does it feel? How does it feel to be struck by my Heavenly Ghost?" Su Haijun asked, feeling as if he had avenged a great grudge.
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan forced himself to calm down. However, being struck by this ghostly creature had indeed left him feeling terrible, as if his body had fallen apart. Blood was even flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse. But he was also a proud man. He wiped his mouth, twisted his neck, and said, word by word, "Not bad, Su Haijun. Your Heavenly Ghost isn't all that great!"
Seeing Chao Bufan struggling and in pain, Su Haijun became even more excited and laughed, "Hehe, you really are a rock in a cesspool, smelly and hard! You know what? This thing is specially made for you! How about that, is that fair?"
"I never knew you were so afraid of me!"
Upon hearing this, Su Haijun's eyes twitched, as if Chao Bufan had caught him red-handed. He sneered, "What a joke! Me, afraid of you? Who do you think you are? Chao Bufan, if you're going to pat yourself on the back, you can't do it like this! But then again, seeing you spitting blood after I beat you, I feel...tsk, one word: awesome! Two words: very awesome! Three words: extremely awesome!"
Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "I can see you're really enjoying yourself. But I think the real enjoyment comes from being the one who laughs last, doesn't it?"
From within the black mist, Su Haijun chuckled coldly and said, "That's right, only those who laugh last truly enjoy it. Extraordinary, I, Su Haijun, am no longer what I once was. Now, you have no chance to turn the tables. The one who laughs last is destined to be me."
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. I was just careless for a moment, which gave you, this ghost, an opportunity to take advantage of me. Otherwise, do you really think you could hurt me?"
"Come on! Look at yourself in this sorry state! You said it was just a moment of carelessness! Chao Bufan, I wouldn't have bothered with you so much for Qianqian and Uncle Tang's sake, since we don't have any deep-seated hatred between us. It's just that you've ruined my plans time and time again, and that's something I can't tolerate. Since you just said that you were only injured by my Heavenly Ghost because of a moment of carelessness, fine, I'll give you a chance. As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake, I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "I originally thought that only I liked to boast, but I didn't expect you to have this hobby as well. Su Haijun, I advise you to take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, and see what kind of person you are."
Su Haijun laughed, "What kind of person I am is none of your business. You know the situation right now. I'm stronger than you. Since I'm in a good mood, you should be begging me to let you go. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing your face when you beg me! Hahahaha~~~~~~~~"
"Sigh!" Chao Bufan sighed softly and said, "It seems you are truly beyond saving. You are really... tsk, never mind." Chao Bufan waved his hands repeatedly.
Upon seeing this, Su Haijun frowned and asked, "Chao Bufan, what exactly are you trying to say? What's wrong with me? Tell me."
Chao Bufan retorted, "You really want to hear it?"
"Spit it out if you have something to say," Su Haijun snapped.
"Alright! You asked me to say this! Listen to me, you! Tsk, you think you've got the whole forest just because you got a sapling, and you think you own the whole world just because you got a little sunshine. I'm telling you, Su Haijun, people like you are just wasting air when you're alive, wasting land when you're dead, and wasting money when you live. If I were you, I'd just tear off a three-foot-long white silk ribbon, find a crooked tree, and hang myself."
Upon hearing this, Su Haijun laughed instead of getting angry. In his view, Chao Bufan was already at his limit. He was playing psychological warfare. After all, the current situation was entirely under his control. Even if Chao Bufan wanted to escape, he couldn't. The surrounding space had been firmly locked by him, and Chao Bufan couldn't escape even if he had wings. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to kill him. He wanted to play a good trick on him. Otherwise, if he could vent the resentment he had suffered over the past few months so easily, it would be too unfair to himself.
"Speak, keep talking. I want to hear how long you can keep up your stubbornness, even though you're already at your limit."
As he spoke, he slowly emerged from the black mist, standing in mid-air behind the ghost. The red banner in his hand moved without wind, fluttering gently. At the same time, he lightly tapped the ghost's head with his finger. The ghost seemed to be stimulated, and the ghostly aura emanating from its body became even denser. Chao Bufan, who had been struggling to stand up and barely supporting his body, suddenly felt an immense force as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on him. His body immediately bent over, making him look like a hunchbacked old man, painfully struggling in his death throes.
This was exactly what Su Haijun wanted to see. The more intense the pain on Chao Bufan's face, the bigger his smile became, and the more excited he felt.
