The dim street was illuminated only by the flickering, weak light of a streetlamp.
A figure was in hot pursuit.
The little girl ahead suddenly stopped. Yu Daochen let out a long sigh of relief: Finally, she wasn't running anymore.
The little girl giggled, revealing a sinister smile: Brother, you smell so good. I really want to dig out your heart and eat it.
Yu Daochen snorted: You, who just evolved into a fierce ghost, want to dig out my heart? Are you worthy?
The little girl cackled: Who said it's just me?
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, five or six Shagui and dozens of Linggui slowly drifted out from all directions of the old street.
Yu Daochen looked at the formation and thought that it would be troublesome to face them bare-handed, but he had come prepared today.
Yu Daochen drew the Kanglong Jian from his back, his face filled with disdain: Damn, I thought they were something, but they're just low-level fodder?
The moment the ghosts saw the Kanglong Jian, their faces showed fear, and none dared to step forward.
The Kanglong Jian, the nemesis of all evil entities, was actually in his hands.
"Come on, weren't you quite cocky just now?" Yu Daochen sneered.
The little girl looked at the Linggui behind her, but not a single ghost dared to step forward.
They all knew that the Kanglong Jian was no joke; even a Linggui would be severely injured, if not killed, by a single blow.
Who would dare to attack?
The leading Shagui snorted: You think you can fight us all alone?
Yu Daochen found this amusing. Even Minggui wouldn't dare speak to him like that. How dare this one? "Damn, even Minggui wouldn't dare speak to me like this. How dare you?"
As soon as Yu Daochen finished speaking, a black mist drifted in front of the ghosts. The mist dissipated, revealing a burly, fierce ghost wielding a Nine-Headed Saber.
The ghost qi condensed, its eyes turned green, and ghost qi enveloped it.
Yu Daochen sized up the suddenly appearing fierce ghost and inwardly cursed his bad luck.
Just as he thought it, this Minggui chose the worst possible time to show up.
Seeing the fierce ghost suddenly appear, all the ghosts looked smug: "Master Li, you're here."
The burly fierce ghost nodded and looked at the Kanglong Jian in Yu Daochen's hand: "I didn't expect the enemy of all ghosts to be in your hands."
Yu Daochen gave a wry smile, formed a hand seal, and took a deep breath, spewing out flames.
The combat power of a single Minggui was equivalent to that of a top expert on the Heaven Ranking. He couldn't afford to be careless and had to strike first.
The flames directly attacked the Minggui. Seeing this, the Minggui also spewed out black qi to block.
The flames and black qi collided. Soon, the flames gained the upper hand, inching towards the Minggui. The Shagui behind also spat out black qi to assist.
Bang!
With an explosion, both forces canceled each other out. The Minggui lunged forward in a single step towards Yu Daochen, raising his Nine-Headed Saber and slashing down.
Yu Daochen reacted quickly, raising the Kanglong Jian to block the Minggui's descending Nine-Headed Saber.
Clang!
A crisp sound of cold weapons colliding echoed.
Yu Daochen was clearly struggling but still managed a smile.
"This is intense!"
Yu Daochen pushed away the Minggui's Nine-Headed Saber and swung the Kanglong Jian to smash at the Minggui.
The Minggui didn't flinch and swung his Nine-Headed Saber to clash with Yu Daochen.
Sparks flew from the collision of the two cold weapons, piercing the darkness.
The surrounding ghosts watched and praised, amazed that this human小子 could fight on par with Master Li without being at a disadvantage.
The little girl signaled the Linggui beside her to help, but none dared to step forward.
The battle between the Kanglong Jian and the Minggui was no child's play; one wrong move could lead to their souls scattering.
With another powerful strike, both the Minggui and Yu Daochen were pushed back.
Yu Daochen steadied himself, sweat trickling down his cheeks. It seemed that a direct confrontation of strength with a Minggui was not a wise choice.
Humans could fight against evil spirits precisely because they could use magic.
Yu Daochen traced a finger along the Kanglong Jian, and flames enveloped it.
Yu Daochen grinned: "Again!"
The Minggui snorted, unafraid, and swung his Nine-Headed Saber to slash at Yu Daochen again.
With the Kanglong Jian enhanced by flames, Yu Daochen was unstoppable. One strike directly cleaved the Minggui's Nine-Headed Saber, and then the Kanglong Jian fiercely chopped down.
The flames enveloping the Kanglong Jian transformed into a sword qi that directly struck the Minggui's chest.
The Minggui was sent staggering backward, barely managing to keep his footing. Black qi continuously seeped from his chest.
"Damn, Master Li is mighty! He can still stand after taking that blow," the Linggui behind fawned.
Yu Daochen also marveled at the Minggui's tough hide. If a Shagui had taken that blow, they would have been severely injured, if not killed.
The Minggui snorted and patted his chest: "It doesn't hurt."
Inwardly, however, he cursed, "You useless bastards, don't just stand there watching, hurry up and help!"
The Minggui was merely holding on. Yu Daochen's previous strike had indeed taken its toll.
If he didn't have his subordinates watching, he would have fled immediately. Who could withstand this?
The Minggui regretted his earlier bravado of taking that brat's attack head-on.
Yu Daochen traced his finger along the Kanglong Jian again, and flames once more enveloped it, cursing inwardly.
If one blow couldn't kill you, then another would. I refuse to believe your body is truly a shell that cannot be broken.
