As the saying goes, a powerful dragon can't overpower a local snake. We're on Nan Pengyu's turf right now, and we're at a real disadvantage.
I don't think Nan Pengyu is a genuine spiritual medium. He's more like a breeder of demonic creatures, collecting all sorts of ghosts and goblins.
As Nan Pengyu's spiritual beings slowly approached, his figure merged into the horde of ghosts and goblins.
He Bi wasn't one to back down either. He lit incense and recited the incantation for his helpers. All the spiritual beings in his spiritual hall, except for the resident ones, had arrived.
But they were still outnumbered.
It seemed that a great battle was about to break out, a life - and - death struggle between a real spiritual medium and a fake one.
At Nan Pengyu's order, his spiritual beings charged forward like they were on a frenzy.
He Bi's spiritual beings were also ready. Following He Bi's hand gesture, they drew their weapons and fought back.
The fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake, and rat spirits all showed their unique skills and fought bravely. The battle spread out in all directions from our position.
Suddenly, the sounds of battle filled the air. It was the first time I'd ever seen such a scene, and I was a bit dazed. Standing in the middle, I didn't know what to do.
The spiritual hall was filled with the glint of swords and the shaking of the ground. The sounds of the fight were deafening. In no time, the corpses of various animals were lying everywhere, blood flowing freely, and the stench of blood filling my nostrils.
Blood splattered on the inner walls of the bungalow. Some things were falling, and some were swaying.
The pillars under the roof beams were shaking unsteadily, the tiles on the roof were flying off, and the dust was falling like sifting ash.
At the same time, Bai Ling'er must have sensed that I was in danger. She broke through the roof directly, landing in front of me with pieces of gravel and tiles.
The chaos of the fight was out of control. Fortunately, this place was a large factory building in the suburbs. If it were in the city, an entire building might have been demolished.
Bai Ling'er moved her figure and entered my body directly. She took out her shiny silver whip and controlled my body to sweep out.
The whip cracked, and those ghosts and goblins were whipped apart, their bodies torn into pieces.
There were too many enemies. I couldn't fight them all off. One wave of enemies was barely dealt with when another came. My body was being controlled to fight so fiercely that I felt like it was about to fall apart.
He Bi's spiritual beings had been very aggressive at first, but now their position was slowly shrinking.
All the spiritual beings were gathering towards us.
Nan Pengyu was hiding among his spiritual beings. His arrogant tone was really annoying.
"I thought you guys were some powerful spirits. Turns out you're nothing special."
He paused for a moment and continued, "You all seem quite capable. If any of you want to join me, I might spare your lives. Otherwise, you'll all die."
"What a joke! Do you think my spiritual beings are like your mongrel - like creatures? They're not something you can just recruit. They'd feel ashamed to enter your spiritual hall."
After He Bi said that, he spat on the ground. For someone like Nan Pengyu, any kind of insult was justified.
"You're really asking for it. Then go to hell together."
After he said that, a woman's voice came from behind him.
"Wait. The matter isn't over yet."
The horde of ghosts and goblins moved aside, and finally, I saw the woman beside Nan Pengyu.
It was none other than Shen Xiaoya. She looked exactly like Shen Xiya.
But because she'd entered society, she now looked much more capable.
"Sister, I know you can hear me. You can see the situation now. Your lover is right in front of you. If you don't let go of the soul vein, the demonic beasts Pengyu has raised are hungry."
Her voice was arrogant and contemptuous.
With her appearance, the battle came to a temporary halt.
Nan Pengyu's spiritual beings surrounded us tightly. Most of He Bi's spiritual beings were old - timers. They hadn't fought like this for many years, and they were a bit exhausted.
He couldn't bear to let them get hurt anymore, so he recalled more than half of his spiritual beings and sent them back to the spiritual hall to heal their wounds.
Now we were clearly at a disadvantage.
"Sister, see? Your little lover is now surrounded. Even if he had wings, he couldn't fly away. If you don't show up, I'll pick someone to kill first."
After she said that, her eyes didn't look at He Bi but fixed on me.
Seeing her staring at me, He Bi quickly stepped in front of me and shielded me behind him.
"You're really tired of living if you dare to touch my sister." He Bi had really grown up. At this moment, he was full of masculinity.
"Hahaha, you useless losers. Who's really tired of living?" Shen Xiaoya gave Nan Pengyu a look.
At his order, the disciples beside him picked up their electric batons and approached me step by step.
He Bi saw the electric sparks on the batons in those people's hands but still stood in front of me to protect me.
This scene in front of me suddenly made me remember what He Bi had said when we took the yin hair before: "Next time, it'll be my turn to protect you."
I don't know why, but even though the situation was very tense, I felt warm inside.
Just as a few people were about to swing their electric batons, Bai Ling'er controlled my body. She whipped the ground, and just as she was about to deal with them, Shen Xiya's soul suddenly rushed out of Shen Xiaoya's body.
Her red clothes fluttered, and two red silk ribbons wrapped around a few of Nan Pengyu's subordinates and flung them away.
"You're after me. I'm here. Don't hurt them anymore."
Shen Xiya was too worried and finally lost her composure. They'd done this just to force her out.
Now that she'd appeared, the enemy had nothing to fear.
At an order, those evil spirits showed their extremely evil faces again and pounced forward.
I ordered Bai Ling'er to separate from my body and stop those evil spirits. She was the only one here with any fighting strength now.
Nan Pengyu and Shen Xiaoya stood in front of the spiritual hall's memorial tablets, with evil and malicious smiles on their faces.
"Shen Xiaoya, you're so vicious. I've treated you well all these years. Not only did you kill me, but now you're also implicating others. I'll drag you to hell today."
The resentment in Shen Xiya's chest built up. Her originally delicate face instantly became extremely gloomy. Her eyes were blood - shot, and black lines like spider webs crawled densely across her neck and over her whole face.
The red clothes on her body fluttered without wind, and the entire hall suddenly plunged into darkness.
Shen Xiya's fingernails on her index finger were like dark purple steel cones. The moment she showed them, she lunged at Shen Xiaoya with lightning speed.
Shen Xiaoya didn't expect Shen Xiya to be so powerful when she went berserk. She was so scared that her face turned pale and quickly hid behind Nan Pengyu.
Nan Pengyu was an experienced person. He quickly took out the seal of the spiritual hall from his waist and pressed one hand on the cinnabar.
He stamped the seal hard in the air, and a golden character "Yin" appeared.
The golden character seemed to have wings and flew straight towards Shen Xiya.
Shen Xiya had already lost her mind, but I was still clear - headed. I'd seen that thing in a book. It was the pass for the ghost messengers to travel between the mortal and the underworld. It was also a powerful weapon for catching ghosts, specifically for punishing stubborn evil ghosts. Once it was stamped on someone or something, they'd be wiped out.
"He Bi, you mustn't let that seal hit her."
He Bi understood what I meant. Before the golden character arrived, he rushed in front of Shen Xiya and took out a mirror to reflect it.
Unexpectedly, the thing was so powerful that the mirror was directly shattered, and the reflection angle was a bit off.
After the golden character was reflected, it flew straight towards my forehead.
I was observing the situation the second before and didn't notice the golden character. By the time I realized it, it was too late.
The golden character "Yin" was getting bigger and bigger. I quickly squatted down to try to avoid it, but I still couldn't...
