As Yu Daohén was astonished, the ghosts that had been sent flying earlier rushed at him again.
Yu Daohén directly formed a hand seal with his left hand and took a deep breath, spewing flames from his mouth.
The charging evil spirits were immediately engulfed by the flames. Yu Daohén cursed, "I don't believe your Tunyan Art can't kill you!"
As the flames dissipated, Yu Daohén looked at the annihilated evil spirits with a smirk. "You must be dead for sure this time."
Before the smile on Yu Daohén's face could reach its peak, it froze and then his expression changed instantly. He looked at the situation before him with disbelief.
The evil spirits, which Yu Daohén had burned with flames and turned into white smoke, reformed their spiritual bodies, their ghostly energy undiminished.
Yu Daohén was completely stunned, as if he had solved a math problem of one plus one, only to find that the answer two was incorrect.
Yu Daohén refused to believe it. He formed a hand seal with one hand again, took a deep breath, spewed flames, and spun like a top.
The surrounding evil spirits that swarmed him turned into white smoke and dispersed into the air. Just as they were about to completely dissipate, they reformed their spiritual bodies again.
Seeing this, Yu Daohén turned and fled without any hesitation.
Evil spirits on both sides of the road lunged at Yu Daohén.
Yu Daohén swung his Kanglong Mace and sent them flying.
More and more evil spirits appeared ahead, almost filling the entire street.
Yu Daohén was surrounded. Looking at the evil spirits blocking both sides, he ran two fingers across his Kanglong Mace with one hand, and flames enveloped the mace.
Yu Daohén charged directly towards Elder Tai's house, his Kanglong Mace wielding mightily, annihilating all the charging evil spirits with the flames.
However, every time Yu Daohén eliminated them, Yin energy would surge from the ground, enter their bodies, and restore their spiritual forms.
The frequency of the evil spirits' attacks increased, and Yu Daohén's initial ease turned into struggle.
Another evil spirit lunged at Yu Daohén. Yu Daohén swung his mace backward, smashing the evil spirit into annihilated dust. Suddenly, an evil spirit from behind launched a sneak attack on Yu Daohén.
Yu Daohén reacted quickly. As he dodged to the left, he condensed golden energy in his hand and struck the attacking evil spirit with his palm.
The evil spirit immediately turned into a ball of white smoke and dispersed into the air. The surrounding evil spirits, poised for action, all lunged at Yu Daohén.
Yu Daohén formed a hand seal with one hand, took a deep breath, and spewed flames, eliminating all the charging evil spirits.
As the flames dissipated, Yu Daohén gasped for breath. As the saying goes, even the strongest fighter cannot win against overwhelming odds. Even against a formidable opponent like Guo Cunhai, he could fight evenly, but in this situation, even the strongest would fall.
An evil spirit suddenly opened its gaping maw and bit towards Yu Daohén.
Yu Daohén swung his mace, his movements noticeably slower. As the Kanglong Mace struck the evil spirit, two other evil spirits launched a sneak attack on Yu Daohén.
*Clang*
Yu Daohén's expression changed in alarm. Just as he was about to use his Nine Reincarnations Eye, two talismans shot towards the two evil spirits.
The talismans hit the two evil spirits and transformed into flames, burning them to ashes.
Yu Daohén looked in the direction from which the talismans were shot and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy had come to find him.
On the other side, Qiangzi drew his copper coin sword and slashed at the swarm of evil spirits, fighting his way to Yu Daohén's side.
"Master Yu, wasn't my rescue spectacular?" Qiangzi said with a lewd grin.
Yu Daohén rolled his eyes at him, thinking he would have to face consequences later.
"Spectacular, truly incredibly spectacular." Yu Daohén looked at the surrounding evil spirits gathering and closing in on him. "I'll count to three and then we run."
Qiangzi turned to look at the panting Yu Daohén. Although these evil spirits were difficult to deal with, they shouldn't have pushed him to this extent.
Qiangzi looked contemptuous and teased, "Master Yu, what's going on here?"
Yu Daohén pursed his lips. "Just take a look and you'll know."
Qiangzi looked in the direction Yu Daohén pointed.
He saw the two evil spirits he had destroyed with his talismans were now intact and approaching him again.
Qiangzi's mouth formed an 'o' shape that a normal person couldn't achieve. Coupled with the scars on his face, it was quite a lewd sight.
"Holy hell, what is this, Master Yu?" Qiangzi's surprised words were almost incoherent.
Yu Daohén looked at him with disdain. "Do you think I would be this exhausted for no reason?"
Yu Daohén's gaze fixed forward, his body slightly lowered, his toes exerting force. "I'll count to three, and then we run."
"Prepare," Yu Daohén said. Qiangzi nodded, also lowering his body slightly, his toes poised to run.
"Three, run!"
As soon as Yu Daohén finished speaking, he pushed off with his toes and ran.
Qiangzi, standing beside him, was dumbfounded. When he looked at Yu Daohén again, he had already run two meters away.
"What are you standing around for, run!"
Yu Daohén swung his Kanglong Mace, smashing away two evil spirits, and shouted.
Qiangzi finally reacted and dashed away.
The two of them fought their way out of the encirclement, wielding their Kanglong Mace and copper coin sword. Yu Daohén suddenly turned, formed a hand seal with one hand, took a deep breath, and spewed flames, engulfing the pursuing evil spirits.
As soon as Yu Daohén turned, Qiangzi had already run several meters ahead.
"Damn it, you didn't wait for me!" Yu Daohén chased after him.
The two ran towards Elder Tai's house without stopping.
Upon reaching Elder Tai's house, Yu Daohén locked the door and then collapsed onto the ground, panting, "You're quite fast, kid."
Qiangzi leaned against the wall, also panting, "Of course, I'm known in the martial world as Whirlwind Qiangzi."
Yu Daohén rolled his eyes without speaking. This guy loved to brag about himself; the nickname he gave himself wasn't a hundred, but at least eighty.
