Such a scene was enough to make one’s scalp tingle with horror.
At the same time, the Demon Ghost wrinkled its nose, sniffed, and then burst into a gleeful, sinister laugh.
"That stinky woman really died here, tsk tsk! And it seems she was killed in one blow, not even a ghostly wisp could escape. It must’ve been a powerful stranger passing by!"
With that, excitement spread across the Demon Ghost’s face, "But if the big boss finds out about this, he will definitely take his anger out on Demon-Sealing Town. It might be better for me to slaughter the people here now and then boast about it in front of the big boss!"
After saying this, drool of greed started dribbling from the Demon Ghost’s mouth as it addressed Demon-Sealing Town, "Don’t blame me for this, who told you to be so unlucky? Besides, you Human Clan are just wasting food by living in this world. It’d be better if you obediently became fertilizer in my belly! Hahahaha!"
After muttering to itself, the Demon Ghost grew even more excited, and with heavy breaths, it charged toward Demon-Sealing Town.
Boom!
As it burst toward the town, still two hundred zhang from the walls, the Talisman Spells inscribed on the fortifications all shone with golden light, aimed directly at the Demon Ghost.
Wherever the golden light touched, wisps of blue smoke rose from the Demon Ghost’s body, scorching it.
This pain made the Demon Ghost even more frenzied, and it sneered, "These are just the tricks of those sanctimonious fools, pity their power is too weak!"
With a few strides, the Demon Ghost crossed the hundred-zhang divide and reached the town walls.
The golden light of the Talisman Spells on the walls grew even more dazzling, and the sound of chanting rose and held firm against the Demon Ghost’s invasion.
Amidst the flashes of golden light, the Demon Ghost’s body melted away like a candle.
Annoyed and enraged, the Demon Ghost yelled, "Break for me... Break!"
A dense stream of ghostly aura instantly formed and surged directly towards the barrier of golden Talisman Spells.
Following a tremendous blast, the entire town shook.
All the residents of the town were terrified, paler than death; some of the more cowardly simply fainted away.
At the same time, the golden Talisman Spells began to emit cracking sounds, a sign they were reaching their limit.
But at that moment.
In Vermilion Tower, Xing Yuhe suddenly lifted his gaze and with a sharp command, he intoned, "The laws of heaven and earth, the Demon Ghost will comply, Lin!"
With his command.
The two Soul-Cleaving Lamps hanging next to the gatehouse suddenly burst into brilliant light, then two rays of dazzling red light shot forth and merged into one, descending directly above the Demon Ghost’s head.
Where the red light pointed, the Demon Ghost’s movements slowed.
Xing Yuhe, who had been lying in bed, had somehow sat up and once more firmly shouted, "Bing!"
Following the command, the red light condensed into a bright and solitary little sword.
"Zhou!" Xing Yuhe trembled all over, yet still managed to forcefully spit out the word.
Boom!
The little sword turned into a streak of light, speeding straight for the Demon Ghost.
Under these circumstances, the Demon Ghost started laughing madly, "The Nine-character True Words? A pity, you only have the first three. You think with that you can kill me?"
With that said, the Demon Ghost lifted its ghostly paw, aiming to smack down the solitary little sword.
But at the very moment before the ghostly paw could touch it, within Vermilion Tower, blood flowed from Xing Yuhe’s mouth and nose, yet he resolutely shouted a single word.
"Zhe!"
As the word was issued.
The speed of the solitary little sword increased by more than tenfold in an instant, swiftly crossing the barrier and arriving above the Demon Ghost’s head in the blink of an eye.
The Demon Ghost screamed in shock, but it was too late to dodge and could only grit its teeth and meet the sword head-on.
Crack!
