With a grunt, Wan Li hopped over! He looked ferociously towards Xiao Xia, his eyes glowing red. He was filled with abnormal rage and killing intent, an overbearing appearance of wanting to tear soone apart. Even the little girl ghost cried out in fear and moved far away.
Wan Li, snap out of it! Xiao Xia no longer cared about anything else. Only at the mont of life and death did she realize that Wan Li was as important to her as her limbs. She definitely couldnt lose him. Wake up! She grabbed his collar and shook him fiercely. Her initial wrenching heartache was now mixed with a bit of anger.
He couldnt have lied! He had said his willpower and self-control was just as strong as Ruan Zhans. They had once had a drinking contest during their college years. He had clearly been drunk but was able to talk and laugh smoothly, able to control his actions and emotions. Only after winning did he sleep for three days straight!
What was up with him now? Did he lose himself just because a raincoat ghost touched his head? No! He couldnt do this!
You turn back for right now! Xiao Xia saw him remain rigidly standing and urgently beat at his chest.
Wan Li moved a little and slowly raised his right hand. Right as Xiao Xia was excited about his reaction, he stretched his hand towards her slender neck. Then, he tightened his grip and raised her up with one hand!
Xiao Xia imdiately had trouble breathing and wasnt even able to raise her arms. She hung there like a piece of clothing in Wan Lis hand!
Was she going to die? Die by Wan Lis hand? The person who was closer to her than a brother? The one who had never lost his temper at her? Her best friend? The only one in the world who would never hurt her?
Chokeherdead! The raincoat ghost who had been injured by the bloodwood sword for the sake of touching Wan Lis head suddenly cried in his weird trembling voice!
Give , give , give ! The family of three crowded in. Along with the five hopping ghosts, the entire scene looked like that of a sacrificial ceremony. And the sacrifice was Xiao Xia!
Her limp legs kicked a few tis but it was no use. Wan Li was still expressionless and not in control of himself!
It is said people shed tears prior to death. Therefore, Xiao Xia shed so tears before she lost consciousness. They flowed down onto Wan Lis hand. Furthermore, as she felt she was about to die, the amulet on her chest suddenly gave off a long-lasting warm yellow light. Since Wan Li was holding her up, the light shone directly into his eyes!
Wan Li blinked at the glare. When he next opened his eyes, the red glow had faded, leaving behind a confused and surprised expression.
Whats going on? he muttered. The broken spell ant he was unable to keep his hand raised. Xiao Xia was directly dropped to the floor.
Xiao Xia felt her head hit the bamboo floor with thud but she didnt feel any pain. The air rushing into her lungs made her cough violently and curl up in discomfort.
Wan Li was startled and swiftly crouched down, stretching out a doubtful hand. He wanted to help her up, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He realized that he was the one who hurt her.
I did this? He muttered once again. But before he had ti to think further, he felt a wave of dizziness and once again fell unconscious, falling beside Xiao Xia.
Without being instructed, those ghosts once against rushed forward. They seed determine to kill the two people. The family of three were more agile and leapt to the floor to attack. The five zombies werent able to bend over and could only hop forward heavily, planning to crush the two on the floor!
Ruan Zhan! Xiao Xia called out in her mind, hoping he would make it back in ti.
But Ruan Zhan didnt co back. Instead, a strange whistle rang out, like a reed whistle. It was a single, sharp tone that caused the ghosts to freeze in place. Despite making reluctant sounds in their throats and grinding their teeth, they all stopped, not daring to move another step!
Xiao Xia stopped coughing and spent a lot of effort edging backwards while dragging Wan Li. She didnt know what had temporarily saved them. The ghosts looked as if they had enormous grudges against them and would probably attack again soon. The bloodwood sword had fallen by the door when Wan Li had gotten up earlier. Therefore, she had nothing to rely on yet had to persevere a little longer. She had to wait until Ruan Zhan returned.
At this mont, ti seed to drag on. Every breath was ragged from nervousness. She had to keep an eye on the enemies while moving backwards.
Dont move! Dont move! Ruan Zhan hurry back! Ruan Zhan hurry back!
She chanted anxiously in her mind, her exhaustion and the damage Wan Li had done to her caused her limbs to grow soft. What was more alarming was that her prayers seed to have resulted in the opposite effect. Ruan Zhan didnt appear but the monsters starting moving once again.
Slowly, the circle shrank. A gust of cold dampness surrounded her, as though she had already been buried in the ground!
Rumble
Another peal of thunder resounded in the skies. The monsters seed to have been stimulated and they suddenly drifted over.
Xiao Xia cried out in alarm and wrapped her arms around Wan Li, not daring to raise her head. She shut her eyes and waited for the attacks to co!
A flash of lightning caused the scene in the dining room to blur. It was like sothing falling into still water, causing countless ripples to spread. A person appeared from thin air. His steps were urgent yet his actions were so casual and confident, as though he had entered the center of the building from far away in a single step.
Heavens, earth and nature, disperse the foul aura He chanted several lines of an incantation while drawing seals with his left hand. He pointed towards Xiao Xia. The ghost in the lead seed to have struck an invisible wall and was bounced backwards!
Ruan Zhan! Xiao Xia cried out in pleasant surprise!
Dont worry! Im here! Ruan Zhan turned and gave her a smile. Xiao Xia imdiately felt the room fill with warmth and light!
Everythings fine. Hes back! She muttered to herself while supporting Wan Li, letting him lean against her. Youre also going to be fine.
She stayed calmly within the barrier Ruan Zhan had cast, watching him battle ghosts as a spectator for the first ti.
She watched as he drew an arc with his left hand, extending the final stroke into a long tail like a fishing hook and pointing towards the family of three. They were imdiately sucked into an invisible circle, knocking into each other.
Their shrill screams were piercing like the scraping of glass on glass. The three ghosts seed to be suffering enormous tornt, their pale faces twisting and turning red like half-burned coal. Their eyes seed to burn with fire.
Spare us! They cried tragically. The alternated between transparent and murky. Their limbs and facial features fell off and then reassembled. They desperately ramd against the invisible restriction but were shot backwards without exception!
Ruan Zhans gaze was cold as a blade, without the slightest hint of pity!
He watched as the injured raincoat ghost slowly faded from view, as though trying to escape. At the sa ti, he instructed the five zombies to attack Ruan Zhan as though trying to buy himself ti. Ruan Zhan sneered coldly. Its better if you stay behind! He bit his tongue and spat out a mist of blood. At the sa ti, he fished out a talisman with his right hand that shot out along with the blood mist!
There was a tragic wail from the raincoat ghost. Half his body had already vanished but it was now nailed in place by an invisible spike. No matter how he tried to struggle, he couldnt move any further.
Ruan Zhan glanced coldly at the raincoat ghost writhing on the floor like a clump of weeds. He turned gracefully, easily avoiding the encirclent of three zombies. He arrived beside the door with a few steps, bending over to pick up the bloodwood sword.
The bloodwood sword imdiately seed different in his hands. Although its red glow wasnt as magnificent as usual, it still shone beautifully. Furthermore, it trembled slightly, as though it was excited to be held by its master!
Ruan Zhan held the sword and slowly raised it towards the hopping zombies. He didnt speak, and rely stared silently at them.
The bloodwood sword was no longer wooden in his hands. It was harder and sharper than any tal. Although the zombies gave off a foul sll as they leapt forwards and the storm was raging outside, Ruan Zhan remained completely unfazed. His calm appearance gave the anxious Xiao Xia an incomparable amount of confidence.
The five zombies had no senses and were simple monsters who were controlled. Therefore, they couldnt sense the ethnic ghosts and the raincoat ghosts tragic appearances and terror. They leapt towards the human aura. However, due to their simplemindedness, three of them collided with each other, leaving only two who attacked.
When they drew within a ter away, Ruan Zhan unhurriedly swung the sword. He didnt stab, but rely sliced at one of their heads while drawing the sa fishhook symbol with his left hand. The movents were simple but there was a swish of wind as he pointed towards the other zombie!
With a thump, one zombies head fell to the floor. Its body swayed and shot forwards a few more steps, falling onto the staircase as Ruan Zhan dodged out of the way. The other was struck in the chest by the formless talisman. It was sent flying several ters and beca nailed to the wall like a painting. Its head also fell to the floor with a snap, though it remained covered in the white cloth bag.
At this mont, the other three zombies had gotten close. Ruan Zhan bent low, avoiding their leaping strikes while reversing his sword and swinging it twice. There were no techniques. He rely cut their heads off swiftly, seeming to target that specific area. Two of them fell and no longer moved.
The final one had overcommitted to its attack and ramd against the door, taking it off its hinges into the rain outside. Ruan Zhan didnt pursue, imdiately displaying his firebrand instead. Xiao Xia watched as a strange and beautiful fla ignited outside under the rain, a small cluster of sparks in the center.
Only a few seconds had passed but Xiao Xias terror had been easily resolved by Ruan Zhan.
rcy Daoist Lord, rcy Daoist Lord! The ethnic ghosts started begging after seeing the Daoist Lord easily deal with the five ferocious zombies and due to the pain they felt from the restriction.
Here, those with sorcery were called Daoist Lord or Daoist Ladies. Therefore, they pleaded desperately for rcy from the Daoist Lord before them.
Ruan Zhan turned towards them. You arent the innkeepers. You rely took their appearances, right?
The three werent able to form complete sentences. They rely babbled so broken words, unable to be more terrified.
Unfortunately, evil deeds will never go unpunished. That is the rule of the heavens. Therefore, even if I agreed to spare you, those you previously hard will not!
No, she slept in my bed, she deserves to die! That little girl ghost suddenly scread, desperately ramming at the restriction and baring her teeth at Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia shrank back in fear.
You guys are afflicted by ghost Gu, right? Its better to be free of it.
Ruan Zhan sighed. He ignored the little girl ghosts shrieking and ford a seal with one hand. He slowly flung it out.
A wave of tragic cries and a clump of bright flas left behind a pile of ashes. The night wind swept by and nothing was left behind.
Its your turn!
Ruan Zhan turned to the raincoat ghost.
Masterwillkillyou. Masterwillkillyou! The raincoat ghost spoke with his shuddering voice, threatening while trying to escape.
He was the one controlling the group of ghosts. Therefore, he knew better than anyone else what fate awaited him!
I am here precisely to look for your master!
Ruan Zhan felt extre hatred towards the mastermind who poisoned Wan Li. However, hes bastard scum who only knows to hide!
He undid his blood restriction. The raincoat ghost was no longer nailed in place and hurriedly crawled away, trying to turn invisible. However, he wasnt able to do it. At this mont, Ruan Zhan suddenly revealed a sympathetic expression. He hesitated for a mont before using the tip of his sword to point at the bamboo hat on the raincoat ghosts head!
Let help release you! He said with a soft sigh. This would be a little better for you! As he spoke, the bloodwood sword lifted the bamboo hat.
There was a gust of wind. Only the raincoat, the bamboo hat and a pair of shoes were left on the floor.
It turns out there was nothing underneath at all!
Ruan Zhan looked at the peculiar embroidered flower shoes and recalled the pair he had seen in the woods. He furrowed his brows, not knowing how they were related.
Ruan Zhan! Xiao Xia cried out.
He snapped out of his thoughts and hurriedly undid the protective barrier.
Are you ok? He looked her over, terrified that she had been injured. Then, he went to check on Wan Li whose condition made him burn with anxiety!
Xiao Xia shook her head. What do we do with those? She pointed at the remaining corpses of the zombies.
Ruan Zhan stood up and walked beside them. He ripped off the white cloth bag and what was beneath startled Xiao Xia.
There were no corpses, no human figures. They were tree trunks and branches!
Xiao Xia hesitated and mustered up her courage. She took the white bag off the beheaded zombie. It was actually also a plant. However, there were black talisman markings upon it!
The raincoat ghost wasnt a herder of corpses. He had just been controlling plants. It was just a spell cast by the mastermind!
Ruan Zhan gathered the plants and burned them to ashes. Xiao Xia watched and noticed his fire only burned what he wanted to burn. The bamboo building and everything else was untouched.
What do we do now? Xiao Xia asked.
What for daybreak!
What about him? Xiao Xia looked at Wan Li who was seated against the wall.
Leave him to . I wont let him die.
Ruan Zhans response was short but determined.
The battle was over. The rain had also stopped.
