Trembling At A High Altitude

The female ghost ran to the side of the Taoist temple, wanting to enter but was blocked by an Array.

In its attempt to break the Array, two Talismans burned up while resisting it, releasing the Mana within them, causing the female ghost's spirit to shudder violently.

Just then, Li Teng caught up with her.

"Life Resource Points gained: 34 points."

Seizing the moment when the female ghost's Soul Power was unstable, the Death God APP viciously bit into it.

With a scream of agony, the female ghost abandoned trying to break the Array, turning and fleeing towards the woods at the foot of the hill behind the Taoist temple.

Li Teng, tasting success, chased after her relentlessly, scrambling down the hill.

The female ghost, failing to complete her hunting task, tried to escape into the woods but was stopped by a wall of air.

With no other choice, she circled the hill and fled towards the direction of the residence.

At this moment, the female ghost had already given up on controlling the two puppets she had, leaving the female manager and the salesman near the hill as she herself fled wildly.

The female manager and the salesman wanted to enter the Taoist temple to seek revenge on the general manager, but their Mana was too weak; they dared not approach the temple's Array and could only linger around the perimeter.

Li Teng ignored the female manager and the salesman and continued to chase after the female ghost.

Originally, Li Teng, being old and frail, could not catch up with the female ghost.

But the female ghost, having been bitten several times by the Death God APP and severely injured, naturally couldn't pick up speed.

As the Death God APP obtained Life Resources, it also collected some non-storable Soul Power, which it bestowed upon Li Teng, causing him to be in a highly excited state as if he'd had an Energy Drink.

As one grew stronger and the other weaker, the female ghost could never escape Li Teng's pursuit.

Every now and then, she'd get bitten by the Death God APP and her body would unnaturally pause for a moment.

In her panic, the female ghost inadvertently got herself cornered into an angle of the boundary air wall, blocked on both sides with no way to escape!

"Big brother, let's talk..." The female ghost actually began to speak.

Li Teng's wrist vibrated.

"Life Resource Points gained: 7 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed.

"Big guy, I..."

Li Teng's wrist vibrated again.

"Life Resource Points gained: 10 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed.

"Tonight..." The female ghost tried to speak again.

Li Teng's wrist vibrated once more.

"Life Resource Points gained: 6 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed.

"Please! Can you let me finish speaking!" the female ghost raged, releasing a powerful burst of Soul Power from her Ghost Body, forcibly pushing Li Teng back two steps.

Li Teng's wrist vibrated again.

"Life Resource Points gained: 27 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed again.

Li Teng quickly moved in closer to the female ghost.

"Are you trying to force me into a fight to the death with you!?" the female ghost, infuriated, gathered a surge of ghostly power within her Ghost Body, preparing for a major move.

Li Teng's wrist vibrated again.

"Life Resource Points gained: 18 points."

The major move was interrupted.

"Ah! Can we still have a proper conversation?" the female ghost was on the verge of breakdown.

Li Teng's wrist vibrated again.

"Life Resource Points gained: 9 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed.

"Help! A man is bullying a woman! Is there no justice left? Help! This is an outrage!" the female ghost cried out in desperation.

...

Inside the Taoist temple.

"What's the situation outside? What happened? Is the old man dead?" The timid secretary and the finance staff, who didn't dare to watch the ghastly scene of Li Teng being tortured by the ghost from the window, could only ask the people by the window what was happening outside.

"The manager and the salesman are outside the Taoist temple, blocked by a powerful array. They can't get in, they don't even dare to get close," the general manager standing by the window answered the secretary and the finance staff.

"And the old man?" the secretary pressed.

"The old man isn't dead; that ghost is being chased by him all over the place," the driver standing by the window with the general manager responded to the two women.

"What?" The finance staff thought she had heard wrong.

"Do I hear someone crying for help?" the secretary spoke up.

"It's the female ghost crying for help." The expression on the general manager's face by the window was strange.

"The female ghost crying for help... You must be having an illusion." The secretary couldn't help but stand up and move towards the window.

...

"Are you even a man? Bullying the weak like that! It's simply thuggery!" The female ghost continued to scream in protest at Li Teng.

"Life Resource Points acquired: 6 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed.

Li Teng didn't want to waste words with a ghost, acquiring as many Life Resources as possible was the most important thing.

"Even in death, I won't let you go!" The female ghost threatened Li Teng with harsh words.

"But aren't you already dead?" Li Teng was somewhat puzzled.

"Life Resource Points acquired: 8 points."

"Ah!" The female ghost screamed.

The female ghost fell silent.

Into a terrifying hush.

But she still let out rhythmic screams of pain from time to time.

The kind that could easily be misunderstood.

The silent female ghost wasn't doing nothing.

She was gathering all her remaining Soul Power, preparing for a final, desperate struggle with Li Teng!

Li Teng had already tested it out earlier; every time the female ghost launched her powerful move, it would be interrupted by the Death God APP, and then she would be fiercely absorbed of her Life Resources, so he wasn't too worried, and continued blocking the female ghost to absorb her Life Resources by 7 points, 9 points.

The female ghost finally erupted.

She suddenly soared into the air, flew in front of Li Teng, looking down at him, and then stretched out her Ghost Claw, preparing to come at Li Teng with a Tai Mountain Pressing-Topped White Skeleton Claw!

Li Teng looked at the white skirt of the female ghost in front of him, quite curious about what was underneath.

He had never seen a ghost before, never had such a close encounter with a female ghost, and certainly never had the chance to be so close to a female ghost's dress.

So, he reached out with his right hand to lift it and uncontrollably put his left hand, wearing a watch, inside to feel around.

An intense pain shot up from below, overwhelming the Ghost Body of the female ghost, causing her body to convulse, and ultimately, the White Skeleton Claw failed to come down.

"Life Resource Points acquired: 59 points."

The female ghost let out an extremely piercing scream, then disintegrated into wisps of light points and vanished into thin air.

"Too bad, the lighting was bad, I didn't see clearly," Li Teng lamented.

Having dealt with the female ghost, Li Teng left the residence and headed for the Taoist temple on the mountain.

When he climbed the hill where the Taoist temple was located and arrived at the temple gate, the spirits of the female manager and the salesman were still lingering outside the temple's array. They had no interest in Li Teng and were solely focused on trying to enter the Taoist temple.

"The old man is coming up, should we let him in?" The driver asked the others.

"Absolutely not! What if those two ghosts enter? No one has died tonight yet!" The general manager immediately rejected the driver's suggestion.

No one else made a sound.

Li Teng knocked on the door, but no one opened it.

"In an avalanche, no single snowflake is innocent," Li Teng sighed deeply.

He walked a circuit around the Taoist temple, tearing down all the Talismans that made up the array.

Then, he turned and walked down the hill.

"No single snowflake is innocent."

"Including myself," Li Teng added.
