Zhang Qilin's face was grim.
These two presences were too powerful. If both attacked them, casualties would be unavoidable.
"Sasha..."
At the same time, a rustling sound came from the ghost coffin.
A head slowly emerged from within the coffin.
The head was small, and a face, obscured by hair, was extremely sinister. Around the neck of the Jin Po, there were many pustules, and red spots covered its entire body.
This was likely a condition from the plague that had previously spread.
From the demon coffin, a giant head emerged.
It resembled an octopus and a balloon. Green mucus dripped from its eye sockets; there were no eyes, only empty voids. Mucus also intermittently flowed from its mouth and nose.
Its teeth were sharp, like shards of stone.
The sea demon was purely disgusting, while the Jin Po looked terrifying.
The Jin Po had no face, its features obscured. There were no discernible nose, eyes, or even a mouth.
"Because she felt she had no face to see anyone after death, her entire face is hidden."
Behind him, the female ghost spoke. Zhang Tian nodded, not overly surprised.
After the Jin Po appeared, the sea demon glared at it.
"Kaka!"
Making a sound, countless tentacles from within the coffin attacked the Jin Po again.
Hair, like a spider web, coiled around the Jin Po.
The two began to fight fiercely.
This was merely a battle of their upper bodies, and neither had even left their respective coffins.
"This won't do. If it continues like this, when will we get to see inside the coffins?"
Zhang Tian frowned, seeing this. These two only fought and stayed in their coffins; even a few more years wouldn't see them finish.
"Boss, I have an idea."
Hu Bayi looked at the two eerie coffins and spoke up.
"What idea?"
"We can attack one of them, and let the other one win. This way, perhaps they will come out of their coffins."
Hu Bayi thought for a moment.
But which one should win?
Neither of them was easy to deal with. If one won, Zhang Tian and the others would have to face the other.
However, it would be much better than facing both.
"Boss, the Jin Po fears fire..."
Hu Bayi suddenly said. Zhang Tian understood his meaning.
The Jin Po was relatively easier to deal with, as it feared fire. But the sea monster feared ox hair, which was quite problematic.
They didn't have any ox hair.
"My true qi has mostly recovered. I'll use a lightning talisman to attack the sea monster. Once both are lured out, Fatty, Old Hu, you two will investigate the coffins."
Zhang Tian said, and both nodded.
Fatty was not a timid person either. He patted his chest in agreement after Zhang Tian finished speaking.
"Qilin, protect me from behind."
Zhang Tian said, holding his peach wood sword in front of him.
To be honest, Lin Tian had never drawn a lightning talisman before. According to the techniques of the Mountain-Moving Taoists, the lightning talisman was relatively difficult.
Zhang Qilin nodded and stood lightly behind Zhang Tian.
The little fox, with a glint in its eyes, hid behind Zhang Qilin.
"Lightning!"
Zhang Tian inscribed in the air with his peach wood sword, drawing a talisman. However, halfway through, due to his lack of skill, it collapsed.
The situation with Zhang Tian was also noticed by the two in the coffins.
Seeing that Zhang Tian was about to attack him, the sea monster became even more enraged.
Its octopus-like head let out a roar at Zhang Tian, and then countless tentacles crawled out.
This sea monster was very peculiar. Its head resembled an octopus, and its ten fingers were thick and long, like tentacles.
Its body was only the upper half; the lower half had become invertebrate, much like a fish.
There was a gaping hole on its left chest.
Clearly, the Jin Po had dug out one of its hearts.
The sea monster lunged at Zhang Tian, its tentacles like iron awls stabbing towards Zhang Tian's brow.
Zhang Tian was still drawing the talisman; this lightning talisman was too difficult.
Zhang Qilin held his black gold ancient saber, standing in front of him, ready to attack at any moment.
"Sasha."
How could the female ghost allow the person helping her to be killed? Numerous hairs coiled, and her body floated in the air.
The Jin Po had no feet, only a red robe.
"Holy crap, a red robe!"
Seeing the Jin Po, Zhang Tian gulped.
Inside Fatty's jade pendant, the princess had already lost her breath.
What a joke, a red robe was a level higher than a level three existence.
At this moment, Zhang Tian was already doubting if his fire talisman could deal with this thing.
The Jin Po's hair completely blocked the attacking tentacles, and the strands even penetrated the entire tentacles.
It looked exceptionally terrifying.
"Lightning."
Zhang Tian tried drawing the talisman again.
As the Jin Po and the sea monster both rushed out of their coffins, it gave Hu Bayi and Fatty an opportunity.
"Fatty, you go to the female ghost's coffin; you have experience with this."
Hu Bayi said, already running towards the sea monster's coffin.
Wang Fatty: "Experience???"
Princess Wang: "Experience???"
"Old Hu, let's be honest with ourselves. Don't slander me. Fatty hasn't been inside any female ghost's coffin."
Fatty quickly said, then rushed towards the coffin.
As the two reached the coffins, the oppressive aura of the two presences made their heads ache.
It was fortunate that the Jin Po and the sea monster truly harbored resentment; otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to reach their coffins.
Hu Bayi looked inside.
Green demonic energy spread continuously. Inside, Hu Bayi saw a small piece of stone.
Fatty, on the other hand, had already buried his entire head inside.
Fatty found more things: a sea demon's heart, and another, half a stone.
He even found some jade inside.
This jade, called ghost jade, was used to nourish souls.
After grabbing their items, the two ran forward madly.
"Boss, look! Fatty found some meatballs! We're having a barbecue tonight!"
Fatty, carrying the sea demon's heart, was beaming.
This thing, such a large chunk of meat, looked like beef no matter how you looked at it.
Zhang Tian...
Sea Demon: "Holy crap, my heart?"
Seeing its heart being taken out by Fatty, the sea demon lunged furiously at Fatty.
Fatty paused and quickly ran to the side.
"Holy crap, Fatty didn't do anything! Why are you chasing me?"
"Isn't this beef?"
Seeing the tentacles striking at him, Fatty ran even faster.
The Jin Po, seeing the sea demon's heart taken out, grew in power. Its red robe became like a sea of blood.
The surrounding walls turned red, and even the Jin Po spirits above began to be devoured by this red-robed vengeful spirit.
The scene was incredibly terrifying.
Zhang Tian cursed inwardly.
The Jin Po was devouring those souls to strengthen itself.
And if the sea demon got its heart back, its power would undoubtedly surge.
Whichever side won now would not be good for Zhang Tian and the others.
Thinking this, Zhang Tian accelerated his drawing of the talisman.
"Boom."
Suddenly, a tentacle struck the wall behind Fatty.
Fatty rolled a couple of times on the ground.
"Damn, thankfully Fatty is a nimble fatty,"
Wang Kaixuan muttered, and he gradually moved closer to Zhang Tian.
"Lin!"
Zhang Tian drew the final stroke. The next moment, thunderclouds appeared in the tomb chamber.
"Taoist priest!"
Seeing this, not only the sea demon but also the Jin Po were startled, their gazes turning to Zhang Tian.
The lightning talisman shot out, and the thunderclouds rained down on the sea monster.
The powerful lightning directly shattered two of the sea monster's tentacles.
Seeing this, the Jin Po stopped absorbing spirits and furiously attacked the sea monster. This was the best moment to strike.
"Boss, inside the coffin, there was only this."
Hu Bayi ran over, holding half a stone.
Fatty also handed over his stone.
Looking at their half stones and then at his own half stone,
Zhang Tian understood.
