Unexpectedly, the person who came back with Uncle Yang was Si Tong, the son of Si Jiangchen.
Together with Xiaoshanzi, they pounced towards us.
Seeing Si Tong's sharp teeth already touching my neck, Si Jiangchen, who was behind us, actually started chanting the Yin Five - Thunder Spell!!
He couldn't see the evil ghost, but he knew I was in danger. Immediately, he made a hand gesture and slapped in the empty direction in front of me.
"Don't!!"
I was utterly shocked.
I had only witnessed the power of the Yin Five - Thunder once!
It was a great divine ability that could instantly reduce even a naturally - grown willow tree spirit to ashes. If it hit Si Tong, I was afraid even his physical body would be in jeopardy!
Si Tong's mouth had already bitten into my neck, but I had to move forward. The thunder light suddenly penetrated my body. Si Jiangchen raised his eyebrows and instantly rushed over to pull me into his arms.
My fingers tightly grasped Si Tong's soul, afraid that if I let go, he would disappear without a trace.
The supreme power of the Yin thunder was burning my internal organs. It seemed as if in an instant, I would burn to ashes from the inside out just like the willow tree spirit.
Without hesitation, Si Jiangchen lowered his head and pressed his lips against mine.
"Um..."
The intense pain of being burned by the fire made me couldn't help but whimper. Was this bastard still trying to take advantage of me?!
"Xiao He, you have to take responsibility for me."
Si Jiangchen murmured by my lips. His teasing eyes seemed to peer into the deepest fear in my heart.
I was afraid of death, and even more afraid of disappearing without a trace from this world! I still had a lot of things to do. I hoped I could live a long life and die alone!!
As he spoke, Si Jiangchen's long and narrow eyes turned from pitch - black to dark red. It was as if countless blazing stars were spinning rapidly, drawing all my attention into them.
Under the intense dizziness, I felt that the thunder qi in my body was like being guided by a lightning rod, all converging into my lower abdomen, then swirling up along my spine until it reached my mouth.
A sweet and fishy smell welled up. Si Jiangchen kissed me fiercely, as if he wanted to devour me.
The talisman that Aunt Yang had forcefully stuffed into my mouth had broken into countless powders during our entanglement of lips and tongues. It was like a black hole, attracting the thunder power in my body, roaring out from within...
"Um!!"
When I belatedly struggled to break free from his control, he suddenly let go of me.
"You!!"
I could no longer feel the terrifying pain of the thunder burning my body, but I noticed a crack on Si Jiangchen's calm and smiling face.
"You'll die!!"
I was almost in tears. The Five - Thunder Spell could strike all living beings, but it was especially powerful against ghosts and spirits. Once hit by the thunder qi, they would immediately turn into powder.
The willow tree spirit, those many zombies... they didn't even have a chance to struggle!
Si Jiangchen had activated the Yin Five - Thunder, and now the backlash was probably even more terrifying. His originally fair complexion now faintly showed a greenish air, and pulsations like electric currents were surging in his body.
"What should I do?! What should I do!!"
My heart was so panicked that it almost jumped out of my chest. I remembered the last time I was so scared was when I saw my grandfather, Du Wenzhong, suddenly collapse in the shop without warning. That feeling... was like being suddenly abandoned by my relatives. The world was so big, but I suddenly had nowhere to stay!
"I said, you have to take responsibility."
Si Jiangchen didn't seem to care much. As he calmly talked and laughed, the surging thunder qi seemed to be suddenly absorbed by his body and disappeared without a trace. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his lips.
He seemed to have had his bones suddenly removed and slumped softly to the ground.
I couldn't support his weight at all and was also dragged down into his arms...
"Oops! What's wrong with Mr. Si?!"
The Yang couple behind us had already stuffed the yellow talisman I gave into Xiaoshanzi's mouth together. It was the ghost - suppressing and evil - expelling talisman I gave to Uncle Yang. Xiaoshanzi's ghost was immediately suppressed on the floor and couldn't move.
It was only then that the old couple noticed something was seriously wrong with Si Jiangchen and me.
Si Tong, the little ghost of the living soul, had torn a bloody gash on my neck. Now he was struggling in my hand, and his sharp nails were scratching my arms and hands, causing blood to flow continuously.
Si Jiangchen looked even more terrifying than me.
The thunder qi not only made him vomit blood but also knocked him unconscious and he collapsed on the ground.
Si Tong had broken free from my fingers and jumped onto the roof beam. He also seemed to be scared by his father's Five - Thunder Spell just now and was looking out of the window, planning to escape.
Little ghosts always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If they feel dangerous, they can run away faster than rabbits.
Seeing him about to escape after hitting the window, a low incantation suddenly came from outside the window, "Chi!"
Si Tong flew back as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and blood beads oozed from his eyeballs.
Although he was reluctant, he was being forced back towards us by the voice outside like a death - knell.
"Uncle Yang, quickly open the porcelain jar!!"
I was pinned under Si Jiangchen and couldn't struggle free at all. So I pointed at the white porcelain jar on the altar I had set up, which contained A Jian, and shouted at Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang, who were rushing over anxiously to help me, "There's a bad person outside!"
"Okay!"
Uncle Yang immediately got up and ran towards the table after hearing my words.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the outside door of the courtyard was knocked three times in a row with a "bang - bang" sound, and a gloomy voice shouted, "Yang Liansheng, Yang Liansheng, are you in?"
"Hey, who is it?"
Uncle Yang was stunned for a moment. It was already dark now.
The villagers in the mountains were used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Even if there were kids who liked to play around, they would be called back home before dinner. Now the clock on the wall had passed nine o'clock, and it was almost impossible for anyone to come visiting at this time!!
"Li Zizhen, Li Zizhen!!"
The voice shouted sharply twice more.
Aunt Yang, who was helping me, trembled all over as if her soul had been taken away. She was just about to stand up and answer when I desperately struggled to free my two hands from under Si Jiangchen and tightly covered her mouth.
"Auntie, don't answer!"
A shiver ran through my body. I shook my head and said to her, "The one outside is a soul - snatcher. If you answer, your soul will be snatched away immediately!"
However, just as fear appeared in Aunt Yang's eyes, Si Tong, who had pounced over, bit hard on the back of my hand. Purple - black blood immediately oozed out of the wound.
I don't know if it was because he tasted the taste of my blood, but Si Tong's living soul actually showed his ferocious appearance.
Aunt Yang saw a child's face with blood oozing from all seven orifices floating in front of her. She let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.
"Li Zizhen, Li Zizhen!"
The shouting outside the courtyard became even more urgent. "There's a little ghost causing trouble in your house. Open the door quickly!!"
