The Zero Inside the Martial Arts Library

Chapter 17: Conquest of Ghosts. Do You Want to Taste My Sword?

“Ya yes. The purpose of our agents is to find the most suitable residence for our clients. We have all kinds of residences.”

Ye Xiao was invited again.

The man poured a cup of tea for her and then placed the tablet in front of her.

“Next is a detailed catalog of rental residences, including types, locations, transportation, rental prices, and so on.”

Ye Xiao instantly found a house on the outskirts of the city and flipped through several pages. The price of a restroom basically ranges from 600 to 800 yuan, but the room is too small and does not suit its needs.

He needed a larger room that could protect him from the strange phenomena that occurred once he synthesized the cultivation technique. If the room was too small, it was likely that it would not even be able to withstand the spiritual energy that erupted as he advanced. If that happened, the house would definitely collapse.

Larger rooms are not very decent either.

However, as he flipped through it, his gaze suddenly landed on one of the small pages.

The small courtyard was located in a suburban village. He stood alone on the side of the road. It was a small two-story building that seemed to be at least a hundred square meters in size.

The main point is that it costs 100 yuan per month.

“Is this house price real?”

Ye Xiao pointed at the house on the screen, and the customer manager looked over with a smile.

“Select one?”

However, when he saw which one, his expression suddenly changed.

“Uh... Why don't you choose another one?”

“What's wrong with this one? Is it impossible?”

“Not impossible, but.. This house is haunted.”

Ye Xiao was stunned. As someone who read books every day, he naturally understood what that meant.

There are ghosts in this world.

However, they were not the illusory ghosts from his previous life. Instead, after a human or star beast died, they relied on their mental strength to attract and condense spiritual energy, forming a kind of spirit body. His attack method also used spiritual energy.

Although their existence was not troublesome, they were not that simple to deal with.

Currently, there are two methods used to kill ghosts.

One was that after reaching the rank of grandmaster, their spiritual energy control had reached its peak. They could directly control it by force, empty the surrounding spiritual energy, and reach a vacuum state of spiritual energy.

Without the nourishment of the spiritual energy from the surroundings, the ghostly spiritual body would be destroyed in an instant.

Other methods that use this type of spiritual technique can be used to launch spiritual attacks.

Those who use such techniques are known as exorcists. However, spiritual techniques are rare and difficult to develop so not many of them are even in the world of spiritual recovery.

“Didn't the homeowner find someone to exorcise the ghost?”

The customer manager smiled helplessly.

He finds some exorcists, but they do not find ghosts when they enter. They also came out safely. However, as soon as the tenant entered, he would be terrified and insist that he see a ghost. He heard that when he passed by in the middle of the night, he could hear evil laughter coming from within.

“Moreover, this is just an ordinary house, and no one is dead. It is impossible for me to find a grandmaster to interfere in this stupid matter. After all, it's not easy to find a grandmaster, is it?”

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment. His cultivation technique could allow him to unleash attacks that surpassed his own cultivation. Perhaps, he might be able to deal with that person.

100 Yuan a month, 1,200 yuan a year. He wouldn't really live there. Every time he synthesized his cultivation technique, he could enter and cultivate. That's pretty good.

If the other party was in doubt, he could tell that he had not met a ghost and that the ghost might have left.

Perfect.

“I'll take it.”

Ye Xiao took out 1,200 yuan from his pocket and slammed it on the table.

The customer manager was astonished, but then he smiled bitterly and said,

“Pak, why not just replace the others? To save money on rent, dying here is not worth it. ”

Ye Xiao was still very young. It was impossible for him to become a grandmaster. Even if he was an exorcist, it was impossible for him to have a good cultivation.

“Not needed. I'll rent this house only.”

“No problem.”

The contract is signed immediately. Ye Xiao took the key and found the house according to his address.

Perhaps because there had been no one living there for a long time, there was some dust on the door and some spider webs.

Ye Xiao opened the door and walked into the courtyard with a creak.

He released his spiritual energy and spread it to every corner of the house. As expected, he found nothing.

Then, he began to enter the main hall and inspect the room.

Just as he entered the main hall, the iron door in the courtyard quietly closed by itself.

Ye Xiao checked the first floor. Unexpectedly, the furniture was relatively new.

However, he found a thread of pure black hair in the corner of the sofa. It was not mixed with any dirt. It was a curly hair.

It was the hair that had just fallen out not too long ago. It is not something that the spiritual body possesses.

It made Ye Xiao narrow his eyes slightly.

He pretended not to notice and continued walking towards the second floor.

The second floor was also very clean compared to the first floor.

However, there were clearly more traces of life.

Just as he was about to head to the master bedroom, the light from the entire second floor suddenly dimmed, as if covered by something.

Bright red blood gradually began to drip into the surrounding walls. Some strange laughter gradually entered Ye Xiao's ears.

Ye Xiao had his hands behind his back. His face had a calm and natural expression, and he did not pay much attention to the strange phenomenon.

“Come out, there's no point in hiding.”

Immediately, the female ghost wearing a blood red long dress with long hair covering her shoulders slowly appeared not far in front of her.

“How dare you come to rent this house. Don't you know that there are ghosts in this house?”

“I know.”

“You still dare to come even if you know? Are you an exorcist?”

Ye Xiao shook his head.

“Then are you a grandmaster?”

Ye Xiao shook his head again.

“Hmph! You are not an exorcist or a grandmaster, yet you still dare to come here. Are you tired of living?”

Ye Xiao's expression was still as indifferent as before, but his right hand had already been slowly pulled back from behind and placed beside him.

“I'm not an exorcist or a grandmaster, but.. I have a sword you want to taste.”.

“Ha ha ha ha..”

The female ghost laughed out loud, like a voice coming out from a dry, sharp and ear-piercing throat.

“I think you've lost your mind! I'm a ghost, and you want to deal with me just with your sword techniques? Who do you think you are?

“Alright, since you approached me first, then you cannot blame me.

“I haven't tasted human blood in a long time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly shot out from her body, blowing her red dress to a swell. It looked even more sinister and terrifying as it slowly floated towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao did not say any more nonsense. He merely raised his hand slightly, and the Overwhelming Sword intent that caused one's heart to beat violently suddenly appeared, instantly enveloping the entire room.

That Amazing Saber Intent seemed to be able to cut and crush everything in the area into dust.

The female ghost who was originally very arrogant and wanted to move on Ye Xiao had stopped three meters in front of Ye Xiao. When he sensed that sword intent, with a punch, he knelt on the ground.

“Master, if you have something to say, please say it correctly. Pointing a sword and swinging it at someone is uncivilized!”
