Bab 80: Chapter 79
**Chu Renmei!**
In life, she was a famous Cantonese opera singer. Her husband, Bu Wantian, was a seemingly refined teacher in the village, but in reality, he was a heartless, treacherous man.
After marrying Chu Renmei, Bu Wantian had an encounter with a rich heiress. Desiring to marry her but unwilling to gain a reputation for abandoning his current wife and chasing wealth, Bu Wantian devised a sinister plan!
He lied to Chu Renmei, saying he owed a gambling debt to a village thug named Tian Qi and that Chu Renmei needed to spend a night with Tian Qi to settle the debt.
Out of love for her husband, Chu Renmei agreed.
This was exactly Bu Wantian's scheme!
In the end, when Chu Renmei met with Tian Qi, Bu Wantian's men ambushed her.
Bu Wantian publicly accused Chu Renmei of violating the seven grounds for divorce and committing adultery, having her beaten to death. Her face was smashed beyond recognition with stones, and her body was discarded carelessly on a hillside, wrapped in a mat.
After her death, Chu Renmei's spirit learned the truth. Her unresolved rage turned her into a vengeful ghost, bringing calamity to the living!
This is the backstory of Chu Renmei, the ghost from "The Eternal Evil of Asia."
In a way, Chu Renmei was also a tragic figure…
…
Chen Ye's words seemed to infuriate Chu Renmei.
The surroundings suddenly transformed.
Blazing!
Flames erupted everywhere.
The living room remained the same, but it was engulfed in fierce flames. The fiery tongues spread out, blocking all exits with intense heat.
The extreme temperature seemed to carry a poisonous essence. As Chen Ye inhaled, he felt a sharp discomfort in his throat and lungs, the heat scorching within!
An illusion!!
Chen Ye knew this was Chu Renmei's lethal trick.
"Such a realistic illusion, it's truly impressive!!"
Although he was aware of Chu Renmei's powerful illusions, experiencing one this lifelike was surprising.
However.
Chen Ye showed no sign of fear.
Chu Renmei's typical method of killing was to create illusions, making the target unable to distinguish reality, causing them to panic and ultimately scare themselves to death.
But this wouldn't work on Chen Ye.
He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, finding inner peace.
This proved effective!
The suffocating sensation vanished immediately.
While the "flames" still roared around him, Chen Ye felt no heat.
Chu Renmei's illusion was rendered ineffective against him!
Of course, this was largely thanks to the Heart of the Brave.
Without it, no matter how brave Chen Ye was, he couldn't remain calm in such a vivid illusion.
As long as his heart wasn't calm, unable to conquer his inner fear, Chu Renmei's illusion would continue to work…
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of something cutting through the air.
Chen Ye's ears twitched, and his Armament Haki activated on his hand. He swiftly grabbed a flying kitchen knife out of the air.
Then.
Chen Ye opened his eyes and looked at the knife in his hand.
The knife was real, moved by Chu Renmei from the kitchen.
Seeing her illusion failing against Chen Ye, Chu Renmei resorted to a physical attack.
Chen Ye smiled slightly and squeezed.
The stainless steel knife quickly deformed in his hand, turning into a lump of scrap metal, which he casually discarded.
"Chu Renmei, if you have more tricks, feel free to use them!" Chen Ye said boldly.
Having experienced Chu Renmei's illusion-making abilities, Chen Ye felt more confident.
The Heart of the Brave was indeed a rare treasure!
Its effect exceeded Chen Ye's expectations!
As long as he remained unafraid, a ghost like Chu Renmei could do nothing to him.
Shortly after Chen Ye finished speaking, the situation changed again.
"Roar!"
"Growl!"
Accompanied by terrifying screams, charred corpses appeared in the blazing fire around him, varying in size, all with eyes filled with hatred, crawling towards Chen Ye.
The scene was extremely horrifying!
Any ordinary person would be scared out of their wits seeing this.
But Chen Ye remained calm.
Soon, he was surrounded by countless "burned ghosts."
These "ghosts," with their bodies aflame, reached out and grabbed Chen Ye's pants, climbing up his legs.
Chen Ye saw his clothes catching fire from the ghosts' flames, starting to burn.
He felt the heat once more!
Slightly startled, Chen Ye realized that everything was an illusion; the ghosts and flames were fake.
He was certain his heart had no fear!!
Yet, he could feel the burning heat…
This indicated Chu Renmei's immense grudge had turned her into a formidable ghost, whose illusionary abilities had reached a terrifying level, affecting reality!
Furthermore.
Chu Renmei was evidently using her full power to deal with Chen Ye.
Impressive!
Truly a childhood nightmare, ghost Chu Renmei was indeed fierce!!
However.
That was the extent of it!
Armament Haki covered Chen Ye's entire body again.
Such flames couldn't harm Chen Ye at all.
As long as Chen Ye remained calm, ghost Chu Renmei couldn't do anything to him!
"Wah! Wah!"
At this moment, a charred little ghost climbed onto Chen Ye's stomach, screaming at him with piercing cries, and pus and blood flowed from its features, extremely horrifying.
This was an attempt to scare Chen Ye, to break his steadfast heart.
Chen Ye smiled slightly, reached out his darkened hand, and gently patted the little ghost's head…
While patting, Chen Ye calmly said, "Chu Renmei, if this is the extent of your abilities, you can't harm me!"
"I know you hate your husband, hate everyone, but you've killed many people over the years. No matter how deep the grudge, it should have dissipated by now!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The charred "ghosts" and the blazing fire all vanished.
The living room returned to normal.
It seemed Chu Renmei couldn't do anything to Chen Ye and dispelled the illusion.
However, Chen Ye knew she hadn't left.
Because outside the window, it was still raining heavily with constant lightning and thunder!
Suddenly.
A figure with disheveled hair, wearing a blue robe, appeared out of thin air before Chen Ye.
Chu Renmei had finally shown herself!
