Chapter 7 The Yellow Bird Behind
Li Yu's room.
The ghost stayed where it was.
Li Yu looked at her with great interest. This was a female ghost. When Li Yu transferred his magic power to his eyes, he could see her. But when he withdrew his magic power, there was nothing in front of his eyes and he could only vaguely feel that there was something there.
It was my first time seeing a ghost, and it didn’t seem like there was anything to be afraid of.
Li Yu had a feeling that he could make her disappear completely with just a thought.
This ghost in the room encountered such a situation for the first time. After a brief moment of daze, it immediately screamed and turned to flee out the door.
This time, Li Yu did not direct his magic power to her ears. He could only see her opening her mouth but could not hear any sound.
He quickly walked to the door and opened it. Almost at the same time, the other three doors also suddenly opened, and the figures of Jiang Li and the other two appeared in Li Yu's eyes.
The originally empty courtyard was now in chaos.
No one knew when, but dozens of evil spirits had gathered here. There were both male and female, old and young. It was as if Li Yu and his companions had entered a den of ghosts.
However, this kind of low-level ghost posed no threat to them. A ball of fire appeared in Chen Ming's palm, causing the ghosts in the yard to tremble and scream.
They felt the power of destruction from the flames.
Chen Ming was very satisfied with the performance of the ghosts. He snorted coldly and said sternly: "How dare you, you bold ghosts, invade the house? Get out of here quickly. If you dare to come here again, I will make you die!"
These ghosts trembled under Chen Ming's pressure. Only one little ghost was ignorant and said aggrievedly: "This was originally our home. They dug up our graves first and threw our bones into the lake..."
"Well……"
Chen Ming's expression was a little awkward, but it only lasted for a moment. He could earn fifty spirit coins from this deal by taking money from others and helping them get rid of disasters. Of course, he would not stand up for the ghosts.
He raised his voice a little more and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"
No ghost dared to speak anymore and they all floated towards the door. Chen Ming, Li Yu and the other two did not take any action.
The attitude of the righteous path towards demons and ghosts is not to kill them all. As long as they do not do evil things, under normal circumstances, the disciples of the righteous path will not kill them too many times.
The ghosts slowly retreated from the yard. A gust of cold wind blew, stirring up the fallen leaves in the yard. In an instant, Li Yu suddenly felt a chill.
The old ghost floating at the end suddenly jumped up, condensed two sharp claws, and pounced towards Chen Ming.
"snort!"
Chen Ming just snorted coldly, and the flame in his hand flew out and hit the old ghost.
The flame condensed by magic power was not an ordinary fire. The two ghost claws of the old ghost collapsed first, and he only had time to let out a scream before he completely dissipated between heaven and earth. At the same time, the rest of the ghosts in the courtyard also became violent, and they rushed towards Chen Ming one after another like moths to a flame.
"You asked for this, I will let you die again!"
The evil spirits took the initiative to attack, and Chen Ming no longer held back. He waved his hand and released a fireball, which split into two in a very short time, and then into four. Soon, this big fireball turned into a large number of small fireballs that covered the sky and flew towards those ghosts.
Among all the ghosts, except for the old ghost who is slightly stronger, the rest are all ordinary evil spirits. They cannot withstand the attack of fireball at all. As long as they are touched by sparks, their spirits will collapse and completely dissipate.
Li Yu's ears were filled with the screams of ghosts, so he simply withdrew his magic power, and turned a blind eye and deaf ear.
At this moment, there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.
Those ghosts had clearly retreated, so why did they suddenly attack?
The way they pounced on Chen Ming clearly showed that they had lost their minds.
puff!
As the last fireball went out, all the evil spirits in the courtyard were destroyed without a single one left. Some of them happened in an instant, and Chen Ming eliminated all the ghosts by himself without the need for Li Yu and the other two to take action.
However, the "Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers" move just now almost consumed all of Chen Ming's magic power. He leaned against a pillar behind him, his chest heaving slightly.
He cultivated the Gold Spiritual Vein, and casting basic fire spells consumed more mana than practitioners of the Fire Spiritual Vein.
Zhou Zixuan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Ming stood up straight, puffed out his chest and said, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Zhou, they are just a few ghosts who don't know how to live or die. What can they do?"
Li Yu stretched his body. He didn't feel any involvement in this mission and was just there to make up for it.
Zhou Zixuan said: "Since everything is fine, everyone should go back to their rooms to rest. We will return to the temple together tomorrow morning."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
At some point, the surroundings suddenly became much darker and I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
Li Yu looked up and found that the moon had disappeared. Not only the moon, but even the starlight had completely disappeared. He threw out a fireball and illuminated the surroundings again.
Only then did Li Yu discover that the sky above their heads was covered by a thick black air.
Tick.
Tick. Tick.
Tick, tick, tick…
In the silent night, the sound of water drops falling to the ground can be clearly heard.
Li Yu suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He found that black mist was swirling in a well in the southwest corner of the yard, and then a white shadow floated out of the well.
One could vaguely see that it was a woman in white. Her face was extremely pale and she had a very strong negative energy. Drops of water dripped from her clothes and landed on the stone slabs, making crisp sounds.
Li Yu did not transfer his magic power to his eyes, so he could see the ghost with his naked eyes .
This made his pupils shrink slightly. The female ghost in white opposite him was no longer a ghost, but a real ghost!
The female ghost who could manifest her whole body was as powerful as a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and the aura emanating from her made Li Yu feel even more pressured.
This female ghost was stronger than any of the four of them. Even if she wasn't at the second level of Qi Refining, she was at the peak of the first level.
The female ghost emerged from the well and suddenly turned into a white shadow, flying in a certain direction.
Li Yu immediately warned: "Senior Sister Zhou, be careful!"
Zhou Zixuan was prepared and a layer of flame barrier appeared outside her body, but the female ghost didn't seem to be targeting her. She brushed past her and flew forward quickly.
When Chen Ming saw the white shadow pounce on him, he was so frightened that his soul was about to die. He immediately activated his magic power, but then he realized that he had used up all the magic power in his body just now in order to show off in front of Junior Sister Zhou. He couldn't even release a fireball...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt his body go cold, he shivered, and then he lost consciousness.
In the eyes of Li Yu, Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan, the female ghost turned into a white shadow and entered Chen Ming's body. Chen Ming's face immediately turned pale and his hair was disheveled. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was very unfamiliar and his body was filled with a strong yin energy.
Zhou Zixuan's expression changed drastically, and she said, "It has possessed Senior Brother Chen! "
Chen Ming, who was possessed by a female ghost, raised his hands and looked around, an evil smile forming at the corners of his mouth. His voice was cold and feminine, as if it came from nothingness.
“It’s been a long time since I last felt this way…”
At this moment, Li Yu already knew why those evil spirits suddenly attacked Chen Ming. They were controlled by a higher-level being in order to consume Chen Ming's magic power and prepare for the possession of the female ghost.
Once she succeeds in possessing them, the situation of Li Yu and the other two will immediately become difficult.
If a powerful spell is used, it is not certain whether the evil ghost can be killed, but Chen Ming will definitely not survive.
Without magic, the strength of the immortal cultivator will be reduced to one tenth.
To put it another way, even if they were forced to sacrifice Chen Ming, their own magic power would be almost exhausted and they would still become a prey to this evil ghost.
"Chen Ming" had disheveled hair. He looked at Li Yu and the other two, licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and said grimly, "Four of them have come. The souls of four cultivators must be very delicious. They are worth many years of my practice..."
call out!
Zhou Zixuan stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a sharp sound of wind came into her ears.
Five inch-long, blue-black nails appeared in front of her eyes and stabbed at her pink neck. Zhou Zixuan wanted to raise her hand to block them, but suddenly a force came from her waist, and she moved back three feet to avoid the attack of the female ghost.
Snap!
The sharp nails grabbed onto the pillar nearby, tearing off a piece of the solid wood pillar. This made Zhou Zixuan feel cold in her heart. If the claws had grabbed onto her arm, her entire arm would have been cut off...
"Chen Ming" showed a sneer on his face, "If you are a hero saving a beauty, then I will send you off first!"
His nails extended an inch again, leaving a trail and stabbing towards Li Yu's face.
Faced with this sudden attack, Li Yu habitually turned his body 90 degrees to the left. At the same time, he grabbed Chen Ming's left wrist with his left hand, and hit his left ear with his right fist.
Then he stepped sideways and hit Chen Ming on the back of the neck with his elbow.
He didn't even have to think to perform these actions, relying entirely on instinct.
When he graduated from the police academy, his fighting performance was the best in the school. Later, he spent five years in a criminal group and was experienced in many battles. If it weren't for his extraordinary skills, he would have died countless times.
In terms of magic, he may not be as good as Chen Ming and Senior Sister Zhou, but in terms of close combat, his physical fitness has greatly improved compared to his previous life, and he can beat ten Chen Mings.
Plop!
Chen Ming, who was possessed by a female ghost, attacked fiercely, but ended up miserably.
Before he could react, he was knocked to the ground by Li Yu's smooth series of moves. His head was buzzing and he was completely stunned.
What just happened?
It only felt a flash before its eyes, and then it lay on the ground.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably not be able to get up after being hit by Li Yu's elbow, but Chen Ming was a cultivator after all, with strong physique, and with the female ghost controlling his body, he clapped his palms and bounced up from the ground, and his ten fingers were like knives, stabbing Li Yu's lower abdomen.
Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan came back to their senses from what had just happened and wanted to go forward to help Li Yu, but before they took a step, they heard two "bang" sounds, and Chen Ming fell to the ground again.
Li Yu kicked the man in the crotch with a springy kick followed by a straight punch to the throat, and as a final move, he grabbed the man's neck and threw him down. It was so clean and quick that Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan were stunned again.
A moment later, Chen Ming bounced up again.
A moment later, he was knocked to the ground again.
It fought and was defeated again and again, but it kept fighting again and again. However, it did not know any fighting skills, and could only take the beatings unilaterally under Li Yu's hands. The process was horrible to watch. Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan stood there in a daze, and even forgot to step forward to help...
