Chapter 157 Capturing the Underworld Midwife 2
“Arrgh,” the underworld midwife roared .
She knew she would lose consciousness if she remained in Xu Yajuan’s body . She would place herself at the mercy of Ye Shaoyang . She had no choice but to give up the possession and reserve her cultivation for the fight . With a jerk, she left Xu Yajuan’s body .
Because she could turn invisible, they could only see Xu Yajuan fall to the ground slowly . While the others still stared blankly at her, Ye Shaoyang grabbed the thread and threw the carpenter’s ink marker to Old Guo .
“Let go of three feet of thread!” He shouted .
Old Guo caught it and pulled in a horizontal direction . With his help, he and Ye Shaoyang pulled out the long thread . When they were done setting it, something knocked into it and rebounded . The force cut both of their palms, but the thread, which was mixed with black dog’s blood, sent out a few rays of blood .
“Ouch!” The underworld midwife groaned as she fell to the ground .
Just as Ye Shaoyang had predicted, she tried to dive through the ground when she fell . Ye Shaoyang quickly turned around and shouted at Xiao Ma who was still lost in thought, “Hold down the Pixiu Seal!”
Ye Shaoyang’s shout pulled Xiao Ma back into reality . He quickly sat down and pressed the Pixiu Seal on the plastic sheet .
“The path of golden coins will trap the souls and draw the Po, and all spirits shall be destroyed!” Ye Shaoyang lifted up a corner of the plastic sheet as he recited the incantation . Old Guo lifted the opposite corner and the two of them walked in a direction that resembled a Taiji logo and ran in circles .
Within a few minutes, the plastic sheet had been completely twisted into a twisted dough shape . The outline of a transparent human figure appeared inside the plastic sheet . The plastic sheet wrapped tightly around the figure as if it wore a latex suit .
The figure was of an old woman with a stooped posture holding a metal chain in her left hand and carrying a basket in her right . Fang Jin and the others who watched the video footage recognized her as the spirit that was in the operation theater . They retreated in fear, and everyone nervously looked at Ye Shaoyang with reverence in their eyes .
Everyone put their faith in him .
“Wuuu… . ”
The figure started to struggle within the plastic sheet causing the plastic sheet to expand almost to the point of breaking .
Ye Shaoyang shouted, “Hold on, Xiao Ma!”
Xiao Ma pressed the Pixiu Seal with both hands on the bottom of the plastic sheet as it vibrated vigorously . Xiao Ma’s appearance looked normal except for the bulging veins in his arms and the drops of sweat dripping from his chin .
Nobody except Ye Shaoyang and Old Guo knew how much pressure Xiao Ma had to bear . He was using his mind power to keep the underworld midwife from breaking free with the Pixiu Seal . If he did not, she would have long since ripped the fragile plastic sheet .
Suddenly, the body of the underworld midwife shrunk and emitted jets of black spirit Qi . The spirit Qi filled the plastic sheet to near bursting .
Ye Shaoyang sprung toward her and quickly twined the thread around the underworld midwife’s neck . At the same time, Old Guo took the other end of the thread and twined it around her body in the opposite direction . After a while, she was entirely wrapped in the thread and resembled a Chinese dumpling . She could not move at all .
Ye Shaoyang tied a knot and backed off a few steps . He turned around and spoke to Xiao Ma, “Dude, you can whip her now! You can leave the Pixiu Seal on the ground . ”
“Oh, really?” Xiao Ma paused for a moment .
He laughed sinisterly as he took out the peach wood whip and whipped the underworld midwife . Thinking of the infant spirit searching for his mother’s soul, Xiao Ma beat her harder .
The underworld midwife let out a miserable shriek and fell to the ground .
Xiao Ma spat at her, “Now you’ll feel pain! Damn you for killing so many infants… . ”
He whipped her as he scolded her . Although the underworld midwife was wrapped in the plastic sheet and thread, the damage caused by the peach wood whip to her was substantial . She curled up on the ground and begged for mercy .
Old Guo did not sympathize her . He took out another peach wood whip and lashed her hard with Xiao Ma . The medical staff was puzzled by the cruel scene and gazed at one another .
“Alright, I think that’s enough . Let me finish her off,” Ye Shaoyang said and pulled Old Guo and Xiao Ma aside .
Xiao Ma’s hatred was not slaked .
He blurted out, “Little Ye, don’t stop me . Let me whip her to death . I’ve never killed a spirit before . Let me knock myself out . ”
Ye Shaoyang’s eyes rolled up, “Yeah, you are enjoying it now, but you will suffer after you die . A layperson cannot kill a spirit from the underworld even if the spirit is found guilty or else It would leave the mortal world and the underworld in chaos . ”
He squatted beside the underworld midwife and took out the Qixing Dragon Sword .
“Heavenly Master, no! You can’t kill me!” The underworld midwife cried .
“Why? Are you a relative of mine?” Ye Shaoyang smiled as he lifted the sword .
“Heavenly Master, I have a Spirit Badge with me . As long as I give up my cultivation, nobody can kill me!”
Her words stunned Ye Shaoyang . Black spirit Qi gradually seeped out of the ‘Chinese dumpling’ . It melted the plastic sheet and tore the thread .
“Little Ye, hurry up!” Xiao Ma shouted as he watched .
However, Ye Shaoyang shook his head and replied, “She is giving up her spirit Qi . Don’t do anything . We will wait and see . ”
Within a few minutes, the underworld midwife had released her black spirit Qi completely . The thread had been torn into pieces and the plastic sheet had been completely melted . An old woman with a hunchback sat on the ground hopelessly . Her face was covered with wrinkles and warts . In front of her, was a black metal chain and a basket filled with hell notes .
The underworld midwife had lost all her cultivation . She could not become invisible anymore . Her ugly appearance frightened everyone . If there were not so many people around, some of the young, timid nurses might have screamed out of their lives .
The underworld midwife reached into the basket with her slender hand and threw an active infant spirit to Ye Shaoyang . He quickly placed the infant spirit in a talisman paper to keep it safe .
Then, he asked, “Where are the others?”
“I am here for the new soul . The others are not with me now . After I leave, the connection between them and me will disconnect automatically, and they will search for their bodies . ”
The underworld midwife sighed and smiled bitterly at Ye Shaoyang, “Heavenly Master Ye, I underestimated you, but you can’t kill me . I have a Spirit Badge with me . ”
