Chapter 78 Little Ghosts Attack

Yang Ergou came to Erhu's side, shouldering the carrying pole. Erhu bent his body slightly, and the weight of the coffin pressed directly onto Yang Ergou.

Yang Ergou's expression changed, and he began to struggle.

Although it was Yang Ergou's first time carrying a coffin, he had been trained by Sanhu often. He could carry a two-hundred-kilogram stone for an entire day.

Erhu walked to the front, clenched his fist, and said, "Gentlemen, please do us a favor today. We will not treat you unfairly tomorrow."

Yu Daohan's expression turned serious, sensing that something was wrong. He put down his backpack and took out the Ghost-Beating Whip from inside.

Erhu's face darkened as he saw the little ghosts in front not scattering, but instead drifting towards him.

Just as the little ghosts were three meters away from Erhu, and before Erhu could make a move.

*Crack*

Yu Daohan stepped forward, gripped the Ghost-Beating Whip in his hand, and swung it out.

"Agh... agh..."

The two little ghosts were struck by Yu Daohan's whip, letting out a few piercing screams. Their semi-transparent spiritual bodies emitted white smoke.

Liu Zhong and the other two behind them trembled in fear.

Yu Daohan tugged at his collar and cursed, "Damn it, you don't know what's good for you, do you?"

Erhu next to him raised an eyebrow. Normally, Master Yu didn't seem like a fierce person, but with that one whip, those two little ghosts would at least be half-crippled, if not completely annihilated.

However, Erhu thought that it made sense. To gain a reputation in the martial world in such a short time, one had to be ruthless.

Yu Daohan said to Erhu beside him, "Brother Erhu, let me lead the way."

Erhu nodded and walked back to relieve Yang Ergou.

Yu Daohan drew the Kanglong Jian from his back and threw it to Yang Ergou, "Ergou, protect Liu Zhong and the other three. With the Kanglong Jian, ordinary little ghosts won't dare to come near."

Yang Ergou caught the Kanglong Jian and went to stand beside Liu Zhong and the other three.

Yu Daohan nodded to Yang Guofu and the other four, then turned and continued on their way.

Yu Daohan walked in front. Because of the previous whip, those little ghosts were much more subdued. Although they didn't block the way anymore, they didn't leave either. Instead, they hid in the surrounding woods.

After walking a few steps, a little ghost floated out and rushed directly at Yu Daohan.

*Crack*

As the little ghost rushed past, Yu Daohan's whip followed closely behind. The little ghost let out a scream, and white smoke began to emanate from its spiritual body.

Yu Daohan did not hesitate and swung his whip again. The little ghost was directly annihilated and dissipated into the air.

Another little ghost did not rush towards Yu Daohan but instead charged towards Yang Guofu and the four carrying the coffin.

Yu Daohan half-turned and swung his whip with his backhand.

As the little ghost was about to attack Erhu, who was carrying the coffin, it was annihilated by Yu Daohan's whip.

Liu Zhong and the three behind them, ten meters away, turned pale with fright. Yang Ergou was also astonished by Yu Daohan's strength. Although he had seen Yu Daohan's power in that video, witnessing it firsthand was still shocking.

Yang Guofu and the other three raised their eyebrows. Dealing with these little ghosts was naturally not a problem for them, but Yu Daohan's decisive and ruthless actions did surprise them.

"Don't worry, Master Yu's strength is more than enough to deal with these little ghosts." Although Yang Ergou himself was unsure, he still tried to appear calm.

Because of the Kanglong Jian, no little ghosts dared to approach Yang Ergou and the others.

Two more little ghosts rushed towards Yang Guofu and the four. Yu Daohan swung his whip twice more, annihilating them directly.

Sanhu, following behind, frowned, "What's going on? These little ghosts seem to be going crazy, rushing out recklessly."

Erhu in front also frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. "I don't know. In the past, even if there were little ghosts blocking the way, a few words of warning would make them run. What's happening today?"

Yang Guofu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the road ahead with a grim expression.

As soon as a little ghost appeared, Yu Daohan's whip struck it. The little ghost screamed and hid in the woods.

"Uncle Yang, don't worry. You just focus on carrying the coffin, and I'll handle the rest." Yu Daohan vigilantly watched the movements in the woods.

Yu Daohan led the way, with Yang Guofu and the four following behind carrying the coffin.

Several more little ghosts rushed out, but without exception, they were all whipped back by Yu Daohan.

Yu Daohan's eyes were fixed coldly on the surrounding woods. The Ghost-Beating Whip in his hand crackled in the air. No ghost could get close, exuding an aura of being an insurmountable barrier.

As they approached within two meters of the Hua Sha Tomb, a chill swept over them, and everyone's expression changed. They stopped in their tracks.

The branches of the Kui trees and willow trees on both sides began to sway. Yu Daohan stared ahead with a grim expression.

Yang Guofu shouted, "Set the coffin down, grab your weapons!"

"Ergou, quickly spread the Yin-Separating Cloth!" Sanhu shouted to Yang Ergou behind them.

Yang Ergou nodded, took out the Yin-Separating Cloth from his bag, and ran towards Yang Guofu and the other four.

"Ah—"

A scream rang out, and everyone looked over.

A little ghost rushed directly towards Liu Zhong and the other three. Yang Ergou dropped the Yin-Separating Cloth, gripped the Kanglong Jian, and charged at the little ghost.

"This is bad!"

Yu Daohan realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to retrieve the Yin-Separating Cloth, a little ghost darted out from the woods, snatched the cloth, and disappeared into the woods.
