Chapter 129: The Villa's Ghost Domain (Middle)

  Looking at this general's uniform old ghost, Xiao Yu's eyebrows furrowed, and by intuition, Xiao Yu felt that this ghost was even more difficult to deal with than the self-proclaimed Cheng Huang old ghost he had encountered before.

  That self-proclaimed city god, the old ghost, had a bloody aura on his body, and this old ghost was full of murderous intent and killing energy all over his body. Obviously, it was a battle-hardened war spirit that had killed countless people on the battlefield. In terms of willpower and other aspects, this ghost was stronger than the old ghost by a level.

  Li Daishi saw the appearance of this old ghost, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn. He looked at the old ghost walking step by step towards the door, and several talismans appeared in his hand out of nowhere. With a vigilant face, he stared at the old ghost lingering at the door.

  The old ghost had just walked to the door when a flash of lightning that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on the talisman above the door and struck him. However, when the lightning hit the old ghost, he simply curled up his mouth and retreated two steps before continuing to walk towards the door.

  The old ghost let out a mournful howl as he walked, and when he came to the door again, Xiao Yu discovered that the symbol's attack was actually weaker than the first time. This time, although the old ghost bared his teeth, he didn't retreat, but instead continued to move slowly towards the outside of the door.

  Master Li saw the old ghost and was about to rush out of the door, took out a paper talisman in his hand and threw it at the old ghost. When the old ghost was hit by this talisman, he flew backwards instantly, as if he had been hit by a truck.

  The old devil who flew out backwards let out a burst of strange laughter, and got back up again. This resurrected old devil seemed to be completely unscathed.

  The old ghost suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a sharp howl, and an even more massive dark wind emerged from the underground of the villa. The dark wind swirled around the old ghost and stopped, revealing two teams of about twenty ghosts dressed in ancient soldier costumes standing beside the old ghost.

  Master Li saw the emerging ghost army, his face turned pale in an instant. He probably still had five or six talismans left, but these few talismans were simply a drop in the bucket for these ghosts.

  The old devil in the general's uniform led more than 20 ghostly soldiers towards the door, while the remaining ghosts floated in the air of the villa living room, making excited howls as they watched the old devil rush towards the door.

  The old ghost led more than twenty ghost soldiers to let out excited howls, and they charged at the damaged entrance. The talismans that were originally stuck on the door now had weaker and weaker power, and it seemed that they would not be able to withstand these ghosts for much longer.

  Master Li threw the five or six talismans in his hand at these ghosts, although the old ghost and several ghost soldiers were knocked down by Master Li's talismans, but more ghosts were not affected much, continuing to charge at the door.

  Li Dashi was shocked to see the old ghost return, his heart racing with fear. When he and Zhang Tian Shi created this spell array, the old ghost wasn't as powerful as it is now. In just over a year, the old ghost has become so formidable that if left unchecked, even this spell array won't be able to stop it.

  Li Daishi once again drew out the soft sword from his waist, and with a turn of his mind technique, the soft sword suddenly emitted a bright white light. With one stroke, he stabbed at a ghost soldier who was charging at the door.

  When the ghost soldier was hit by Master Li's soft sword, the white light on the soft sword surged into the ghost soldier's body in an instant. The ghost soldier suddenly let out a mournful cry and flew back, as if there was an electric current rushing around inside its body. Before long, the ghost let out a long, mournful cry and dissipated into thin air.

  The ghostly soldier rushing at the door seemed to have no feeling of his companion's disappearance, and continued to rush at the door. The old man stabbed another ghostly soldier with one sword, and that ghostly soldier also disappeared.

  Although Master Li killed two ghosts in a row, his forehead was also covered with a layer of dense and fine sweat. He continued to wield the soft sword in his hand to stab at the ghost soldier, but the soft sword in his hand was already somewhat disobedient.

  Master Li's heart was also secretly lamenting, he didn't think he would encounter so many ghosts when he came, and his preparations were not sufficient. Although only a few swords had been stabbed just now, the heavenly energy in his body was almost exhausted, but that ghost king hadn't received any injury at all.

  Master Li's face turned pale, holding a soft sword at the door, panting heavily, vigilantly watching the ghost rushing towards the door. The old ghost in military uniform saw that Master Li was no longer attacking and floated down from the living room to continue charging at the door.

  Li Daishi occasionally turned his head to look down, but Zhang Tian Shi went out to find someone and never came back.

  As the old ghost was about to break through the door, Li Daoshi showed a painful expression and took out several small flags from his cloth bag. He said to Xiao Ye standing behind him: "Young man, go back and tell Old Zhang to quickly gather fellow Taoists to come and exterminate this evil spirit. I can hold on for three more days, after which the ghosts here will break through!"

  Xiao Youlu was taken aback by Li Da Shi's words, first because he feared revealing his true identity as the Tian Shi, and secondly, to see what kind of methods people in the current Qimen cultivation world would employ; unexpectedly, the current Qimen cultivation world had not declined to such an extent, with only these kinds of methods.

  Xiao Yu looked at Li Dashi's painful face, then glanced at the small flag in Li Dashi's hand. However, when Xiao Yu felt the familiar fluctuation transmitted from the small flag, his eyes suddenly fixed and a hint of astonishment appeared on his face.

  Seven-Star Sealing Ghost Flag

  Master Li surprisingly held a set of 'Seven Star Sealing Ghost Flag' spell, but Xiao Ye felt the fluctuations in the aura within the flag and sensed that this spell had been used many times before, causing the inputted aura to be almost depleted.

  It's not the ancient times before the catastrophe, when the heaven and earth were filled with dense heavenly energy. At that time, if such a flag was used, it could be gradually restored through a period of nourishment. But now, because the heavenly energy is thin, this kind of formation can't be recovered even after decades or hundreds of years of nourishment every time it's used.

  What's more, this flag has not fully recovered since its last use, and if it continues to be used to its limit now, it may even collapse completely.

  Xiao Yu looked at Master Li's 'Seven Star Sealing Ghost Flag' and a fragment of Zhong Kui's memory suddenly emerged, filling Xiao Yu's mind.

  This memory belongs to Zhong Kui and his two sworn brothers. Zhong Kui's two sworn brothers were both newcomers to the cultivation world, with Zhong Kui being the eldest, the second was named Li Xuanqing, who claimed to be a descendant of the Li Tang clan, and the third was named Wang Tie, a martial general who entered the cultivation world due to a strange encounter.

  Three brothers traveled together to practice in the cultivation world, slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits. This Seven Star Sealing Ghost Flag was something he had researched himself and then passed on to them. According to them, before they entered the cultivation world, they all had families in the mortal realm.

  At the beginning of the catastrophe, Zhong Kui had already calculated that this was a great disaster sweeping the entire cultivation world. Because his two brothers had been cultivating for a short time and their cultivation was shallow, they might be able to escape this disaster. He ordered them to return to the mortal world, hide their cultivation, and survive this catastrophe.

  When Zhong Kui was dying, he was still worried about whether his two sworn brothers had escaped this calamity. Now seeing the "Seven-Star Sealing Ghost Flag" in Li's hand, thinking of the Five Animals Play he just used, Xiao Ye's heart was clear, and this should be the descendant of Zhong Kui's sworn brothers. It seems that Zhong Kui's two brothers have already escaped that calamity.

  Xiao Yu saw Li Da Shi's face reveal a determined look to urge the flag, so he walked over and stopped him, saying: "Li Da Shi, let me do it!"

  "Really?" Master Li's face was filled with thick disbelief. In his eyes, Xiao Yu should be a skilled doctor and martial artist, but he shouldn't be able to see the ghosts here!

  "No way……" Suddenly, Li Dashi thought of Xiao You's Wu Xing Xi, could it be that he had obtained the entire Wang family inheritance? But even if he had obtained the Wang family inheritance, in this modern world where the heavenly energy is thin, it's not just about having talent, cultivation and medical skills are different, cultivation relies on actual accumulation.

  However, Master Li put away his own banner. If he was indeed the heir of the Wang family, perhaps with their combined strength they could hold on until Zhang Tian Shi arrived. At that time, the three of them might be able to repair the mansion's formation.

  Xiao Yu stood at the entrance of the villa, without using any magical powers, but instead pulled out the dagger left to him by his grandfather. The specific origin of this dagger was not mentioned by his grandfather, but this kind of extremely evil instrument was precisely the nemesis of some ghostly objects. It's not an empty saying that ghosts fear evil people, let alone such a weapon filled with ominous and murderous aura.

  Xiao Ye looked at the group of ghosts constantly crashing at the door, while the talisman pasted by Zhang Tian Shi at the door was making a rustling sound, and even showed signs of collapse.

  Xiao Yu looked at the many evil spirits in front of him, slowly drew out the dagger inserted in the scabbard, and when the dagger was unsheathed, a cold light flashed in this dark night, filling the entire courtyard with a fierce and murderous aura.

  Li Dashi's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Yu take out the dagger. He had long forgotten that Xiao Yu still had such a deadly weapon. Although this weapon couldn't kill ghosts, it could still be used to drive away ghostly spirits.

  The old devil and the ghost soldiers who were constantly rushing at the door, felt a cold wind blowing by in an instant when Xiao Yu pulled out his dagger, which made these ghosts also float up with a hint of horror in their hearts, causing them to quickly turn around and drift towards the villa hall, looking at Xiao Yu's dagger with a panicked face.

  Especially that old devil in the general's uniform, when looking at the dagger in Xiao Yu's hand, his eyes not only had fear but also a hint of greed. The ghosts that were wandering around the house earlier disappeared without a trace the moment Xiao Yu drew out the dagger.

  Even the two ghosts that were sucking the yang energy from the female Taoist priest's body suddenly disappeared with a look of horror on their faces.

  Xiao Yu held a dagger and kicked his leg into the house through the broken glass. The rolling evil aura inside the villa, within two meters of Xiao Yu's body, all disappeared like ice meeting fire.

  Xiao Yu took a step forward, and the ghosts retreated one step back. The old general in military uniform was also retreating, but the greed in his eyes grew thicker. If he could possess this dagger, with the fierce aura honed on the battlefield, combined with this dagger, he would be like a tiger with wings added. At that time, the law array outside the villa would no longer be able to withstand him.
