Chapter 455 The whole story is over (plus extra chapters)

On the ground, the vengeful spirits that had been killed began to slowly condense. The black mist surged again, as if it was not restricted by time and space, gathering in the air again, gradually forming one after another more hideous vengeful spirits. The faces of these vengeful spirits were more terrifying than before, with strange red lights burning in their eye sockets, and sharp cries that shook the air as if it was trembling, with endless resentment and anger.

The dark clouds in the sky became thicker, and lightning rolled in the clouds, roaring and tearing the darkness. Heavy rain poured down, and the raindrops were like cold bullets, hitting the ground and Su Ming's body fiercely. The rain was even more violent than before, as if the whole world was angry, and the water flow washed the soil on the ground, forming turbid rivers, and quickly gathered into muddy puddles.

The wind whistled past, shaking the trees violently, and the branches and leaves rustled in the rain, as if the whole world was trapped in endless chaos and darkness. The air was filled with a strong musty smell and dampness. Every breath was chilly, making people feel completely desperate.

Su Ming gritted his teeth. He had already used up all his strength, but the vengeful spirits were still resurrecting and becoming more terrifying.

Liu Xiangyao stood in the heavy rain, with a smug and cold smile on her lips. Her eyes flashed with a sinister light, and she did not hide her inner ecstasy: "Hahaha, Su Ming, don't you understand yet? These vengeful spirits are immortal! Their resentment has been integrated into this land. As long as the rain continues, they will be resurrected infinitely! No matter how much you struggle, you are just making a meaningless resistance!"

Su Ming's heart tightened when he heard this. Every time he killed the vengeful spirits, they would quickly condense and regenerate, and even become more ferocious. The golden ancient sword kept waving in his hand, and the sword energy was like thunder, slashing at those hideous vengeful spirits, and each time splitting them into black smoke. However, just a few seconds later, the vengeful spirits emerged from the black fog again, wailing and rushing towards Su Ming again.

"How could this happen..." Su Ming gritted his teeth in a low voice. There was little spiritual power left in his body, but he still did not retreat. The ancient sword trembled slightly in his hand, and the golden light gradually dimmed. He was exhausted, his arms were sore, and his chest was heaving. He had to use all his strength every time he swung the sword.

Seeing this, Xiao Yinyu was anxious, and his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness. Her body was weak, but she managed to stand up, her voice trembling and urgent: "Su Ming, enough! Go away, don't worry about me! If you continue to waste time like this, you will die here! You have done enough, go away!"

Su Ming turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yinyu, "No, I won't leave." Su Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes were like an unquenchable flame, burning with the last fighting spirit, "I won't leave you here alone, because we are friends!"

Seeing Su Ming's stubbornness, Liu Xiangyao sneered disdainfully: "It's really stupid! Do you think that you, a little child, can really change your fate? Here, you can't change anything!"

The rain was getting heavier, and the resentful spirits were resurrected again, rushing towards Su Ming with endless resentment and murderous intent. Su Ming's legs began to tremble, but he still held the ancient sword tightly, ready to continue fighting to the end.

Just as Su Ming was wielding the ancient sword and fighting fiercely with the resentful spirits, a twisted resentful spirit suddenly stopped attacking, and a trace of hesitation and shock seemed to emerge in its empty eye sockets. The resentful spirit stared at Su Ming, as if trying to recognize the figure in front of him, and then made a hoarse and surprised voice: "Su Ming? You...you are Su Ming?"

Su Ming's movements paused slightly, and his eyes looked at the resentful spirit fiercely. The ancient sword was still tightly held in his hand. He did not relax his vigilance and coldly rebuked: "Tao Dachuan? You are actually helping Liu Xiangyao to do evil and help the tyrant? Have you forgotten that I once helped you to get rid of it and helped you to fulfill your last wish before you died?!"

The resentful spirit's figure shook slightly, and a trace of shame flashed in the empty eye sockets.

He whispered, "Su Ming, I didn't mean to hurt you... We were imprisoned on this land by Liu Xiangyao's evil magic. We can't be free and can only obey her orders. Otherwise, our souls will be completely dissipated and we will never be reincarnated!"

As Tao Dachuan's voice fell, more and more resentful spirits around him gradually stopped attacking. They stared at Su Ming one by one, as if they finally recognized the boy who had helped them. A resentful spirit whispered sadly: "It's you... Su Ming... You helped me say goodbye to my family, fulfilled my wish, and let me rest in peace."

Another resentful spirit trembled and said, "You helped me find the lost bones so that I could rest in peace... I owe you a favor."

More and more resentful spirits recognized Su Ming, and their eyes gradually changed from the initial resentment to gratitude. They stopped screaming and attacking, and their resentment seemed to be gradually dissipating. Their weak and low apologies echoed in the rain: "Su Ming, we are sorry for you... We did not do evil voluntarily..."

The anger in Su Ming's eyes gradually extinguished. He knew that these resentful spirits were not born evil, but were used and controlled by Liu Xiangyao. He took a deep breath: "If you really appreciate me, don't help the evil anymore, fight against Liu Xiangyao together! We can find a way to free you!"

After a brief hesitation, the resentful spirits exchanged glances with each other and finally made up their minds. A trace of fighting spirit ignited in their empty eye sockets, and they turned around and rushed towards Liu Xiangyao. Tao Dachuan took the lead and roared in a low voice, leading the other resentful spirits to launch a fierce attack on Liu Xiangyao.

"You damned vengeful spirits! You dare to betray me!" Liu Xiangyao's eyes widened in astonishment, and then she became angry. She quickly pinched the complex seal in her hand, and the jade pendant emitted a dazzling green light again. A powerful spiritual power surged from her palm, forming a barrier, temporarily repelling the vengeful spirits rushing towards her.

"Disperse!" Liu Xiangyao growled, waving her hand to summon a series of green runes, which turned into sharp blades and flew towards the vengeful spirits with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Several vengeful spirits were hit by the runes, screamed, and their bodies were cut apart, turning into black smoke and dissipating. However, more vengeful spirits fearlessly rushed towards her, making sharp howls, waving their twisted hands, and tearing at Liu Xiangyao with endless resentment.

Liu Xiangyao frowned, her spiritual power continued to surge, and she fought fiercely with the vengeful spirits. She waved the jade pendant in her hand, and the green light waved in the air like a long whip, pulling the vengeful spirits away one by one. However, the resentful spirits were no longer afraid. They rushed towards her without hesitation, dragging their long white clothes, and their sharp nails pierced her spiritual barrier.

A resentful spirit quickly went around Liu Xiangyao, let out a sharp roar, and suddenly grabbed her shoulders and tore them hard. Liu Xiangyao roared, and the green light spread from her body like a wave, repelling the resentful spirits, but more resentful spirits rushed up like a tide and launched an offensive around her.

Liu Xiangyao's face became paler and paler, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead. The light of the jade pendant in her hand continued to dim, and her spiritual power began to dry up. The resentful spirits seized the opportunity and kept tearing at her defense. Several sharp claws of resentment had already scratched her sleeves, revealing blood marks.

"You ignorant things!" Liu Xiangyao gritted her teeth and roared, and the spiritual power in her hand became weaker and weaker. She waved her hand and slapped the head of a resentful spirit, and the green light exploded, breaking the resentful spirit into black smoke. But it was just a futile struggle. The resentful spirits were no longer afraid of her spiritual power. More figures rushed up and surrounded her.

"Su Ming, you little devil!" Liu Xiangyao shouted in exasperation. She knew that she had fallen into a desperate situation and could no longer maintain her original pressure and strength. The attacks of the resentful spirits became more and more fierce, and she was no longer able to resist, and her defense gradually collapsed.

Seeing herself surrounded by resentful spirits, Liu Xiangyao's face was covered with cold sweat. She knew that she could no longer fight these vengeful resentful spirits on her own, so she could only call for help from her men: "Quick! Come to me! Support immediately!"

Hearing Liu Xiangyao's order, the men hiding around rushed over quickly. They were wearing black uniforms, holding sharp weapons and magic tools in their hands, and their faces were solemn. They formed a formation in the rain and surrounded Liu Xiangyao. They raised their weapons and attacked the approaching resentful spirits.

"Kill these monsters! Don't let them get close to the young lady!" A leading subordinate shouted, and then swung the long knife in his hand and slashed at the vengeful spirit in front of him. The blade cut through the air, carrying a strong aura, and slashed at the head of the vengeful spirit. However, the vengeful spirit just let out a weird scream, twisted its body, and actually avoided the knife, and then fought back with its dark and sharp claws, knocking the weapons of the subordinates away.

The power of the vengeful spirits seemed to be more fierce with the heavy rain. Each vengeful spirit rushed towards Liu Xiangyao's subordinates with uncontrollable resentment. Although these subordinates have been trained and hold magic tools and weapons blessed by spiritual power in their hands, their attacks seem pale and powerless in the face of these vengeful spirits that cannot be completely eliminated.

"Ah!" A subordinate was thrown to the ground by the vengeful spirit, and the sharp nails tore his armor, blood splashed out, he screamed in pain, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground. Seeing this, the others rushed forward to try to rescue him, but the resentful spirits seemed endless, constantly pouring in from all directions, suppressing the men and forcing them to retreat step by step.

In a panic, one of the men took out a piece of talisman paper, chanted a spell with trembling hands, and threw the talisman paper at the resentful spirit. However, before the talisman paper touched the resentful spirit in the air, it was corroded by the resentment and shattered into pieces, losing its effectiveness. The resentful spirits' eyes flashed red, and they rushed at him with full of resentment, knocking him to the ground fiercely.

The rain mixed with the soil, making the entire battlefield muddy. The men fell one after another, and their attacks could not cause any substantial damage to the resentful spirits. The resentful spirits seemed to be the incarnation of the heavy rain, and continued to attack fearlessly, forcing Liu Xiangyao and her men into a desperate situation.

Liu Xiangyao gritted her teeth, with unwillingness and fear flashing in her eyes. She watched her people being suppressed by the ghosts one by one, and even she herself had no strength to fight back. Deep despair surged in her heart: "Impossible! How could it become like this!"

But the ghosts' offensive did not weaken at all, but became more fierce, as if they wanted to completely devour all evil and avenge themselves with overwhelming resentment!

Liu Xiangyao's eyes were full of fear. She stepped back step by step, trembling all over, and her face was as pale as paper. The jade pendant in her hand had long lost its luster and hung dimly and weakly on her chest. The ghosts surrounded her ferociously, with red light burning in their eye sockets, and sharp nails and twisted figures exuding cold resentment.

"Don't... don't come over!" Liu Xiangyao screamed, her voice full of tearing despair. She staggered and tried to escape, but a ghost quickly entangled her legs and dragged her to the ground. The muddy ground splashed with dirty water, Liu Xiangyao's face stuck to the mud, her hands desperately grasped the ground, her nails dug into the mud, but no matter how she struggled, it was in vain.

The resentful spirits let out shrill screams, grabbed her limbs, and pressed her to the ground. A resentful spirit lowered his head and pinched her neck with cold hands. The force became tighter and tighter. Liu Xiangyao's breathing gradually became difficult, her eyeballs were bloodshot, and she opened her eyes wide in pain. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and there was a faint choking sound in her throat. Despair and fear swallowed up her last vestige of strength.

"Ah——!" Liu Xiangyao let out her last scream. The nails of the resentful spirits penetrated deeply into her body, and blood spattered everywhere. Her face was full of panic and twisted pain, and her eyes were so wide that she could not close them until she died. Her body was finally torn apart by the resentful spirit, completely swallowed up by the black mist, and she died miserably under the bite of the resentful spirit.

The other men had already been killed one by one under the mad attack of the resentful spirits, and the ground was covered with blood and broken corpses.

After the resentful spirits completed their revenge, they gradually became quiet. One by one, they turned to look at Su Ming, and the red light in their eyes became gentle.

Tao Dachuan stepped forward with gratitude on his face: "Su Ming, thank you. We can take revenge and have no regrets. From now on, our souls will always protect you and let you do whatever you want."

The other resentful spirits also nodded, expressing their willingness to repay Su Ming's kindness forever.

"It's just that we have nowhere to go... we can't be reincarnated, and we have no destination. We can only wander in this world, enduring endless loneliness and pain..." An older resentful spirit choked and said, "Please , help us.”

Other ghosts also begged in low voices. They had suffered enough torture, and now they just wanted a stable place to live, even if it was just a place where they could exist peacefully.

Xiao Yinyu watched this scene. She gently held Su Ming's shoulders, "Su Ming, Sky City is now ownerless and dilapidated. These souls were once our tribesmen and friends. If you are willing, you can become Sky City." The new city lord will provide them with a place to live.”

Su Ming felt a little hesitant after hearing this. He originally wanted to refuse because he didn't want to take on too many responsibilities anymore, especially since he had just experienced a tragic battle and was really exhausted. However, seeing the pleading eyes of the resentful spirits and Xiao Yinyu's persuasion, his heart softened.

"Okay," Su Ming sighed, "I promise you that I will be the new city lord of Sky City. I will provide you with a stable place to live, and I will no longer leave you with nowhere to live."

After hearing this, the resentful spirits showed expressions of gratitude and relief, and knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Su Ming.

The moment Su Ming agreed, another strange change occurred in the sky.

The gloomy dark clouds completely dissipated, bright sunshine filled the earth, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed. Several birds flew from a distance, chirping happily, as if singing for the rebirth of this land.

The air is filled with the unique freshness after the rain. The leaves are shining with crystal water drops under the sunlight, and they drip to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The mud on the ground was quickly dried by the sun, and the grass and flowers straightened up again, blooming with vibrant colors.
