Chen Zhao didn’t know how many evil spirits this guy controlled.
A dozen cars in the parking lot all had their lights on. Blackie swooped forward and destroyed two evil spirits.
Chen Zhao suddenly had a strange feeling. It came from the mark on his left hand.
Another car crashed toward him. This time, he was prepared and dodged it easily.
Smith was about to escape again. “Blackie!” Chen Zhao called. “Take out all these evil spirits. I’ll go after him.”
These evil spirit cars gave Chen Zhao a headache, but it was nothing to Blackie. Plus, it could also give Chen Zhao more angelic crystals.
As soon as he left the parking lot, Chen Zhao caught up to Smith. He jumped and tackled Smith to the ground.
Just then, Smith released another evil spirit.
Chen Zhao immediately activated the Mouth of Glutton on his right arm and swallowed the evil spirit.
Seeing Chen Zhao’s right arm, Smith instantly understood that he wasn’t a regular guy.
“Let me see how many you can swallow. Die!”
This time, he released a dozen spirits. Chen Zhao cursed inwardly. Just how many evil spirits did this *sshole control?
Chen Zhao controlled the Mouth of Glutton to swallow these evil spirits. By now, he felt that the Mouth of Glutton was full. Apparently, it could get full too. It couldn’t eat any more evil spirits.
But Chen Zhao saw an even more terrifying scene. Countless evil spirits appeared behind Smith.
“F*ck…”
Without even thinking, Chen Zhao took out a bag of angelic crystals and shattered them. The countless evil spirits were already charging at him. He scattered the powder of the angelic crystals.
Whoosh!
The moment that the powder from the angelic crystals touched the hundreds of evil spirits, the entire sky lit up. It was like someone setting off fireworks.
Like peeling silk from silkworms, threads of light flew out of the ignited evil spirits and went toward the mark on Chen Zhao’s left palm. The feeling was weird. It wasn’t painful or comfortable.
At the same time, Smith’s face was ashen.
“What else can you do? Do it all.” Chen Zhao sneered at Smith.
Smith wanted to escape again, but he suddenly heard a crack. Then Chen Zhao saw Smith’s leg snap. He fell forward, hitting his head on the ground. Blood flowed out.
Chen Zhao froze. No way?
He couldn’t just die like that, right? That was too easy, wasn’t it?
Chen Zhao still wanted to fight hundreds of more rounds!
The cursed coin that had been embedded into Smith’s palm fell off and rolled to Chen Zhao’s feet.
Chen Zhao was about to pick it up when he sensed desire from the Mouth of Glutton.
“Weren’t you full earlier? Why do you want to eat again?” Chen Zhao controlled the Mouth of Glutton. The desire to eat became more obvious when it appeared.
The coin didn’t seem like a good thing, so he had the Mouth of Glutton bite it. A few chomps later, the coin was completely digested.
Blackie floated over. Looking at him, Chen Zhao said, “Blackie, you were kind of slow this time.”
“These evil spirits are unique. They’re well-preserved and very useful, so I imprisoned them.” He looked at the soul fragments scattered on the ground. “It’s a pity that you exploded the angelic crystals. If only you could have delayed him more until I came over.”
“By the time you got here, I would’ve been ripped apart.” Chen Zhao didn’t think he could have survived before so many evil spirits.
Blackie was still looking around, picking up the fragments. These pieces would evaporate with time, so he couldn’t find many.
However, Chen Zhao noticed that the surrounding grass was growing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Blackie, do soul fragments help plants grow?”
“It probably isn’t the soul fragments. I never heard that they could help plants grow.”
“Then what’s going on?”
“It could be the angelic crystals,” Blackie said. “Demonic crystals are effective toward demons, animals, and humans—basically everything that has blood and flesh. Perhaps angelic crystals are effective toward plants.”
“You skipped yourself. Demonic crystals are useful for you too.”
“Let’s find time to experiment and we’ll know.”
Before this, Chen Zhao had angelic crystals but had very limited research. He only knew that it could counter demons. Now, it seemed that angelic crystals weren’t so useless.
Plus, they’d destroyed so many evil spirits this time. It should’ve produced some angelic crystals.
“Blackie, do you know what’s with that guy?”
“This should be a demonic badge left by ancient demons.”
“What’s the effect?”
“It should be the cursed coin,” Blackie said. “The cursed coin has two sides: luck and bad luck. Luck is always for itself and bad luck is for the others. After touching the coin, it’ll absorb the other’s luck or fortune and have the victim get attacked by bad luck. Your car accident earlier and getting hit by the streetlight were all examples.”
“If the cursed coin can suck away other people’s luck, how come he fell to his death himself?”
“I guessed the general idea. The cursed coin will preserve the souls of the victims. No matter if it’s luck or bad luck, it’s all related to the victim. Even if they become spirits, their luck will still be preserved. You purified so many souls, which also took away his luck. When his luck disappeared, it brought to him his worst fate.”
“What about this mark? Will it be stuck on my hand forever?”
“No. Nothing is forever. Even luck and bad luck will disappear one day. It’s the same for this mark. Plus, the cursed coin has disappeared completely. It won’t affect you at all.”
“When I destroyed the evil spirits earlier, I think some light threads went into the mark. Do you know what that was?”
“No.”
Chen Zhao squeezed his shoulders. It seemed like he’d taken Smith out easily today. However, it wasn’t easy at all. He was injured.
Of course, it was due to the bad luck and not the enemy’s attacks.
Chen Zhao didn’t dare to imagine what troubles he’d face in the coming days if he didn’t catch up to Smith. It’s even possible that he could choke on alcohol and die.
Suddenly, he heard a woman crying for help…
