Although the aura of malice around this dagger was currently quite intense, making it hard for him to approach, he believed that given enough time, he would definitely be able to control the dagger.
Xiao Yu slowly walked towards the lying-down Shaman. As Xiao Yu approached the Shaman and tried to drag him out when the Shaman was still lying down, the Shaman suddenly rose up from the ground with a wave of his hand, enveloping Xiao Yu in a foggy mist that smelled foul and pungent.
Xiao Yu ignored this poisonous gas and instead used the handle of the dagger to strike the Shaman on the head. The Shaman was already weak due to having been drained of his vital energy by small ghosts previously and instantly fainted under Xiao Yu's strike.
Only after Xiao Yu knocked out the Shaman did he wave his hand, causing the foul-smelling poisonous gas surrounding him to disperse in an instant.
No matter what techniques Xiao Yu used, his innate righteous aura was undoubtedly a bane to all dark and evil energies.
The ghost clad as a general's uniform alternated between fear and greed in his eyes before finally succumbing to the latter. The floating old ghost dived straight at Xiao Yu with an ear-splitting sound of malicious energy.
"Be careful......." Master Li, seeing this old ghost diving towards Xiao Yu from the doorway without Xiao Yu making a move, couldn't help but shout urgently.
Seeing that Xiao Yu wasn't taking any action, Master Li worriedly thought to himself that Xiao Yu must not be able to see ghosts. According to logic, if Xiao Yu had received the Wang Family's inheritance, he should have been able to activate his Yin-Yang Eyes and communicate between realms by now.
Could it be that what Xiao Yu inherited wasn't the complete Wang Family legacy but only Wushu That made sense because there was no one in the Wang Family as skilled at medicine as Xiao Yu.
In fact, when the ghost clad as a general's uniform started moving slightly, Xiao Yu had sensed its presence. To catch this old ghost off guard, he pretended not to see it coming and feigned surprise.
Xiao Yu's hand moved stealthily in the dark, forming intricate seals with his fingers that merged into an even more mysterious pattern.
The old ghost, with its howling aura of yin energy, made Xiao Yu's clothes rustle. As the general rushed toward Xiao Yu with a greedy look in his eyes, he saw an indifferent smirk on Xiao Yu’s face when he approached him, and his heart tightened.
When the old ghost had first dived down and noticed that Xiao Yu hadn’t moved, pride flashed through its mind. So this kid actually relied on just one dagger! He didn't even possess the ability to communicate with both yin and yang forces!
But when it got close to Xiao Yu, it realized that there was a smirk playing at his lips. Just as it wanted to retreat, Xiao Yu raised his head and fixed his gaze onto him without emotion.
Xiao Yu raised his right hand and gently pushed forward; from the area of his hand emerged an invisible character made up of various intricate patterns—a “Zhu” (誅) symbol that was instantly sent into the old ghost’s body by Xiao Yu.
"Drawing seals in the void—The Evil-Slaying Seal!"
Master Li stared at Xiao Yu's outstretched right hand, his mouth agape as he looked on in a daze. What had just happened He’d actually seen someone drawing seals in mid-air! To begin with, even he couldn’t draw seals without paper. And the seal was an intricate “Evil-Slaying Seal.”
How could this be possible Just now, he hadn't felt any fluctuations in heaven and earth’s primordial energy—how did Xiao Yu do it then When Master Li looked at Xiao Yu again, a bitter expression appeared on his face. He had spent his entire life cultivating and still wasn’t as good as a young man.
After the Evil-Slaying Seal entered the old ghost’s body, its whole body swelled up. It let out several pained screams before it was sent flying back into the half-air of the villa's interior. A round hole appeared on its chest; the surrounding area was shrouded in yin energy that kept attracting and repairing the damage to the old ghost’s body.
The old ghost hid in mid-air within the villa, looking at Xiao Yu with a terrified expression as it no longer dared approach him any further. Seeing Xiao Yu walk toward the door, it looked very reluctant; “Whoosh,” it disappeared without a trace, and those specters that had been floating around vanished after it.
Xiao Yu dragged the shaman to the front door and crawled out through the hole in the door. Outside, Master Li’s eyes were filled with intense admiration as he looked at Xiao Yu; his appearance gave him hope of exterminating this old ghost!
"Master Li, how should we deal with this person" asked Xiao Yu, pointing to the wide-eyed and dumbfounded Master Li.
“I can’t accept that title! Brother Xiao, just call me Old Li from now on! Otherwise I really wouldn't know what to say!” Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Master Li gave a wry smile. Before today, despite Xiao Yu being an excellent doctor and possessing formidable combat strength, as one who practiced Qi Men, he had earned the title of master.
However, after seeing Xiao Yu's void drawing technique just now, Master Li completely put aside his arrogance as a Qimen practitioner. Although he didn't know why there was no aura of primordial energy around Xiao Yu, the 'Exorcism Talisman' that Xiao Yu had drawn earlier was real.
"Let this matter be handled by the person who suffered from it! We won't interfere with how they choose to deal with it!" Master Li said as he looked at Xiao Yu, who appeared indifferent.
At this moment, Grandmaster Zhang walked in from the villa's entrance. Two security guards followed him, carrying a wooden board. Since entering the courtyard, both security guards had been trembling all over due to fear; after all, the ghost incident here left a deep impression on them.
When they got close to the villa entrance, the two security guards put down the wooden board and ran away as fast as possible because they dared not stay there any longer.
"Old Li, how reckless are you What if that Ghost King comes out" Grandmaster Zhang saw the fallen shaman at the entrance and couldn't help but criticize Master Li.
The ferocity of that Ghost King was something he had personally witnessed when setting up this array formation with Master Li. Fortunately, for some reason, the old ghost could not leave this villa; otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether they could complete the formation.
Upon hearing Grandmaster Zhang's words, a bitter smile appeared on Master Li's lips. If only he had such abilities! The Ghost King just now was even more ferocious than when they last came here, and they hadn't seen those ghost soldiers back then either.
Thinking about this, Master Li felt alarmed; their setting up of the formation should prevent ordinary ghosts from entering the villa. But when they arrived, there were no ghost soldiers around. Where did these ghost soldiers come from Could it be that there's a ghost den under the villa
The more he thought about it, the more likely Master Li found this possibility. If there weren't any ghosts in a den, how could there be so many of them, and even organized into units! The more he pondered over it, the colder his back felt as a chill rose up to the top of his head. It was unknown what scale the ghost den would be or whether there were other ghosts inside.
"Eh Where are those ghosts" Before Master Li could speak, Grandmaster Zhang noticed that there wasn't even one ghost at the entrance and only a couple in the living room.
"Old Zhang, quickly repair this door and go back to find some fellow practitioners for help! I suspect there's a ghost den inside the villa!" Seeing Grandmaster Zhang still had time to wonder about the absence of ghosts, Master Li hurriedly said.
"What A ghost den How could that be" Upon hearing these words, Grandmaster Zhang exclaimed in disbelief with a face full of doubt.
In fact, through the Yin-Yang Life and Death Eye, Xiao Yu had already seen that this vast aura of yin煞(should be translated as "yin煞" remains since there's no direct English equivalent) was emanating from a large hole underground in the villa, and all the ghosts that disappeared earlier had entered there.
"What exactly is this" Xiao Yu searched through Zhong Kui’s memories to find an answer but found it hard to make a judgment as he could not observe it up close due to the distance.
Master Li recounted everything he had just seen to Grandmaster Zhang. Upon hearing Master Li's account, confusion filled Grandmaster Zhang's gaze when he looked at Xiao Yu; was this possible for someone so young They should know that despite their family having suffered a calamity in recent years, the basic lineage hadn't been disrupted. It’s merely because of the current thinness of heaven and earth's primordial energy that many profound Daoist techniques can no longer be performed.
The most accomplished member of their family was his uncle who is now over ninety years old; he had cultivated for more than eighty years from a young age, yet could only勉強 (struggle) perform the technique of drawing talismans in mid-air!
Then there's Xiao Yu. Even if you consider him to be thirty at most, is it possible that such a young person can draw talismans in mid-air Although he knew his old friend wouldn't deceive him, he still couldn’t accept the fact that Xiao Yu could perform the technique of drawing talismans in mid-air, especially one as complex as the 'Extermination Evil Talisman'.
"Both Masters, let’s quickly repair this gate now! Otherwise..................."
Xiao Yu glanced at the damaged door and was concerned about how long the newly repaired array would last. Based on his observations, even if he fixed it entirely, the maximum time the array could hold would be a month.
Moreover, Xiao Yu didn't know how many ghosts were in the hole or their level of strength. Currently, he could only destroy these ghosts by separating his soul from his body. However, who knew whether someone might disrupt his physical body while his soul was separated
The three quickly sealed the gap on the door and completed the array again. Seeing that no yin煞 (yin aura) was leaking out anymore, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the villa, Xiao Yu looked at it before turning to escort the shaman back with the two masters to Jin Family's villa.
In the living room of Jin’s villa, Jin Xianglin, Xiao Jingru, and Xiao Jian were sitting on the sofa while a black-clothed person stood guard beside Xiao Jian.
Round Eyes was invited by Jin Xianglin to rest in one of the guest rooms. Tonight's events were too strange for everyone to know all the details.n he entered the room.Wang Mingfu found this very strange. Zhang Shaohua hadn't mentioned there being another young person inside before entering, and he thought only Zhang Shaohua and Wang Manjiang w...
