Especially those eyes!
Eye sockets are sunken.
There was only a large expanse of horrifying pale white left in his eyes.
It looked at the two balls of talisman fire flying towards it, and the corners of its mouth turned up, revealing a scary smile.
He seems to be full of disdain for my magic!
Woo woo woo...
It made a strange sound in its throat, and then stretched out its hands directly - black, rotten little hands!
The nails were black and shiny, like sharp daggers.
Unexpectedly, he didn't dodge or dodge, and grabbed two burning talisman fires with both hands.
Give it a firm squeeze.
Poof!
The two talisman fires were instantly extinguished, and the remaining talisman paper that had not been burned turned into ashes and debris, slowly falling out from between its fingers.
My face suddenly changed, and I was complaining in my heart.
"Oh my god! This ghost is much more powerful than I expected. It seems that I made some mistakes in judging the enemy's strength."
Theoretically speaking, although the temperature of the talisman fire is no different from that of ordinary flames, it has no power when igniting ordinary firewood and the like.
But if it is aimed at evil spirits such as demons and ghosts, it will be extremely ferocious and will explode immediately if it is contaminated even a little bit!
Evil spirits are like fuel for talisman fire.
But the ghost in front of me actually reached out and snuffed out the talisman fire I shot out.
It can be seen that its moral character is not low.
At least, it's definitely no worse than me!
"Well, the battle that was expected to have a slight advantage has turned into a close match. This is the most difficult fight, and it will probably take a lot of effort."
I sighed inwardly and prepared myself for hardship.
He didn't dare to launch an attack as unscrupulously as he did just now.
Instead, hold your breath and concentrate, be cautious, and be prepared to take advantage of the situation!
Woo hoo hoo, croak croak...
The fierce ghost in red looked at me with a contemptuous expression and made a strange sound from his mouth. It sounded like a frog croaking or a child crying.
Obviously, it is a special kind of corpse language.
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't understand! A ghost like you, Guier, shouldn't appear in this world. Today I will do justice to God and get rid of you, a monster."
I said with a sneer.
Although I was a little panicked in my heart, I couldn't show it on my face, and my momentum couldn't be lost!
Especially facing ghosts is like facing the vicious dogs in the village.
The competition between the two sides also has momentum. Once your courage is weak, it will be felt immediately...
The red-clothed ghost smiled again, slowly approaching me in a circle from the side, and I walked in a circle with light steps.
Looking at it like this, it should be taking the initiative to attack!
My palms were slightly sweaty and I swallowed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the bed in the corner. Xia Dong must have been pushed hard by the red-clothed ghost just now and fell unconscious again.
That's fine...so that I don't have to worry about her when I get into a fight with this ghost later.
Woohoo!
The red-clothed fierce ghost screamed and rushed towards me.
The speed is very fast, just like the big biting vicious dog I encountered in the village when I was a child - even the nervous feeling of sweaty palms is very similar.
"Exorcism Talisman, go!"
I ducked to the right, and at the same time I drew a circle with my right hand and pushed forward.
A spell with a white shimmer was played.
It drew an arc in the air and flew straight towards the back of the ghost's head.
This time, I poured more Qi into the talisman - it was more powerful than the previous fire talisman. I didn't believe that this ghost was so ferocious and could always resist!
The black corpse energy surrounding its body immediately surged, and once again transformed into the shape of a hand and slapped the exorcism charm I played.
Sizzle!
The corpse energy collided with the talisman, making a violent sound of boiling water and oil pan.
The red-clothed ghost's movements suddenly slowed down. It seemed that the spell this time blocked its attack speed.
I was so happy that I didn't stop moving my hands.
Uh-huh!
I threw a knife directly from three meters away.
A disdainful expression of ridicule appeared on its scary little face, and it reached out directly to grab the flying knife.
The next moment.
Pfft...
The blade of the knife pierced its palm directly and penetrated completely.
I could clearly see that at this moment, the skinny red-clothed devil had a very surprised expression on his face.
Of course I understand why it was surprised!
Although I haven't completely figured out the specific details of this ghost, I can basically confirm that it has certain characteristics of both a spiritual ghost and a physical corpse.
In other words, it can turn into a ghost or a corpse!
Ghosts and corpses are different.
The former is illusory, the latter is substantial.
Most of the time ghosts kill people by creating hallucinations, blindfolding, mental intimidation, etc... But corpse ghosts kill people just like wild beasts, directly destroying them physically.
Of course, extremely powerful ghost kings or corpse kings are outside the scope of this discussion.
Based on this, when this red-clothed ghost fights me, it will be more advantageous to attack in the form of a physical zombie!
Because if it is a ghost, a practitioner like me will neither be deceived nor be controlled by illusions. But if it were in the physical state of a corpse, if it scratched me or slapped me, I would still be in severe pain.
If he was stabbed in a vital part by a sharp claw, he would probably die on the spot!
The problem lies here...
Although zombies are not as invulnerable as zombies, they may not even be penetrated by bullets. But the body is rigid and the degree of hardness is very high.
Ordinary daggers, daggers, etc., cannot penetrate Zhixiu's body at all - of course, even if they penetrate, it will be useless. The zombies feel no pain at all.
Not to mention the knife I threw?
So in the eyes of the red-clothed ghost, this thing was just a joke, and it flew away with just a slap...
But now, the knife has pierced its palm and is still corroding!
I said with a sneer.
"The blade has long been smeared with black dog blood and rooster blood. If you encounter an evil spirit like you, you are seeking death!"
At the same time, I also felt a little pity in my heart.
If the short knife covered in black dog blood stabbed its heart, maybe it would be solved. In this case, the most that can be done is to destroy one of its palms.
"But that's okay, in this case... it should change back to its ghost form, making it easier to deal with."
I thought to myself that I was already planning to take a trip to Bagua walking later.
The Bagua Step that Master gave me can not only confuse people, but also confuse ghosts!
But what I didn't expect was that although this red-clothed ghost was transformed into the body of a little girl, he was very ruthless and decisive...
Without any hesitation, he waved his other hand and slashed his sharp claws towards the wrist that was pierced by my bloody knife!
Puff.
It sounded like hard solid wood being chopped.
The corroding palm was actually separated from the wrist, and fell to the floor together with the bloody knife stuck on it. Black air rose up.
I was slightly startled.
I feel like this damn thing doesn't play by the rules!
In my estimation, it should have chosen to transform into a spirit form. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a strong man who cut off his wrist—oh no, it should be called an evil ghost who cut off his wrist.
He was so stunned that his movements subconsciously slowed down by half a beat. He was actually approached by this ghost!
"not good!"
My eyelids twitched.
The opponent is now a zombie. If we fight in close combat, I will definitely suffer a big loss!
Seeing that there was no way to completely avoid it, I could only forcefully move to the side.
In this way, it is the blind spot for attacking with its intact palm.
boom!
I got a hard blow in the stomach.
As if he had been stabbed hard by a hard wooden stick, he staggered back several steps. My eyes are a little starry-eyed.
My stomach felt a little churning, and I almost threw up my dinner.
The moment I was beaten back, I finally recovered from the daze. There was already a charm between his fingers, and it burned with a bang.
I didn't throw it out directly, but I held it tightly and slashed it in front of my body!
The flames drew an arc-shaped semicircle, like a protective barrier. This stopped the red-clothed ghost from continuing its attack and caused it to retreat a certain distance.
I took advantage of the situation and hit it out, then pushed it back a few meters.
This finally gave me a little breathing space.
I held my stomach and gasped for air, staring straight ahead...
"What a danger! Although this ghost has no human intelligence, it has a strong fighting instinct. It is indeed similar to a ferocious man-eating beast in nature."
"But luckily I destroyed one of its hands. The one that hit me in the abdomen was the bare arm that had lost its palm."
"Otherwise, if I still had a intact hand... with those sharp nails, I would probably have my intestines pierced and rotten."
After this fierce battle, the red-clothed ghost and I were evenly matched, each with our own losses.
I cut off one of its hands, and its combat effectiveness must have been weakened a lot.
And I was hit hard in the abdomen by it. Now if I move even a little bit, I feel a dull pain in my stomach.
At this moment, this red-clothed ghost and I are like two beasts fighting against each other. One of us must fall!
"It looks like we have to use the magic sword given by Master."
My hand quietly touched my lower back.
The magic sword that Master gave me hangs there.
This is also my greatest confidence!
Without this magical sword, I wouldn't have been so calm this time when I came to deal with the haunting in Xia's yard.
But Master also warned me that even with my current level of cultivation, I still have some reluctance to use this magic sword...
Although some methods can be used, it is estimated that it will not last too long. It is best not to use it lightly until I am in a critical moment.
"Now, it's definitely a critical moment, right?"
I thought to myself.
When I was ready to get a little closer to this ghost thing, I directly used this magic knife to kill it!
The fighting continues...
It was the fierce ghost in red who took the lead in launching the attack!
After all, as time passes, its power will slowly weaken.
Although the degree of this weakening will not be particularly obvious until the rooster crows, when the strengths are evenly matched, any slight disadvantage may be magnified.
So it wants to kill me within a few seconds. Moreover, the flesh, blood, and soul of cultivators have a great tonic effect on evil spirits.
I have no doubt that if I lose today, I will be eaten by this ghost.
It will definitely reach the point of corpse evil!
The red-clothed fierce ghost rushed towards me, as fast as a crazy wild wolf.
This time, I didn't dodge!
I don't want to drag it out any longer.
It's really meaningless to fight like this back and forth, with you getting a little hurt and me getting a little hurt.
That's it, let's decide the outcome with one move!
My right hand has already grasped the handle of the knife at my waist, and I have a talisman in my left hand.
As long as I wait for this ghost to get close, I will immediately launch a killing blow.
Close, close!
The roar from the red-clothed ghost's throat was terrifying.
And I could even see some black bugs squirming on its rotting face.
"It's now!"
The charm on my left hand was cast again.
This is a [Corpse Suppression Talisman] - even if it can only stop it for half a second, the sword in my right hand can definitely kill it directly.
Snapped!
The talisman in my hand successfully hit its forehead, and it was directly fixed in place - about half a meter away from me. The sharp claws extended out and made a motion to pierce my heart.
"Succeeded? So smoothly?"
At this moment, this thought flashed through my mind.
But I seem to have a vague feeling that something is not quite right!
Because this red-clothed fierce ghost is... a bit too weak compared to just now!
It's impossible for me to destroy one palm and make it so weak, right?
But at this critical moment of a close-range life-and-death fight, any thought was a flash of lightning, and any action was made within half a second.
Although something feels wrong, the strategy that has been set long ago cannot be changed, and the body's movements cannot be stopped because of the brain's suspicion.
Uh-huh!
At the same time that the corpse-suppressing talisman was being played, my right hand hidden behind my back had already pulled out the sword. Using his wrist, he struck directly at the ghost's neck from the right side.
The French knife has no sharp edge at all, and the tip is round and not sharp.
So to the average person, this is a blunt instrument. It can neither stab nor chop.
But for monsters and monsters, this thing is an absolute weapon!
But things didn't go that smoothly...
When I saw that the sword was about to hit Li Gui's neck from the side, I suddenly felt my arms tighten. It seemed as if something was pulling me hard.
Unexpectedly, when the blade of the magic sword was still three inches away from the neck, it couldn't strike!
"what happened?!"
I was shocked.
Then I saw a big black mist hand firmly grasping my right arm. It exudes a strong and cold atmosphere.
At the same time, I also felt an eerie and cold feeling on the back of my neck, and a cold air rushed directly to the top of my head, and goosebumps appeared all over my body.
I understood immediately!
"It turns out that this thing can temporarily separate the corpse energy from the body. Attack them separately? This... this is simply unbelievable!"
I was horrified.
No wonder there was no black energy surrounding the red-clothed fierce ghost when he rushed over.
No wonder it looked so weak, hit by my corpse-killing charm.
It turns out that it actually divides the power into two parts!
Use corpse energy to sneak attack me from behind...
