Book 3: Chapter 30: Melee

The female ghost didnt expect the sudden turn of events and cried out in terror before being sucked over to the tattered banner. However, she clearly had some powers and actually wasnt sucked inside. She struggled in midair, emitting shrill screams.

This appearance is much more thrilling! Wan Li looked at the female ghost suspended in midair and swiftly walked in front of Ruan Zhans body. Xiao Xia also got up and ran over.

Spare me, spare me! I beg you, spare me! The female ghost started pleading.

I didnt provoke you. You were the one who came to harm us. Seek to do no harm, whether human or ghost. Otherwise, youll be out of luck. Wan Li spoke. I can only leave you with this advice!

Ill never dare do it again! Spare me! Were acquaintances.ah! The female ghost was sucked a little closer to the banner.

And who the hell are you?

Shes Hong Hao Hao. Xiao Xia answered.

Hong Hao Hao? That beauty? Wan Li looked seriously for a moment. Isnt this discrepancy a little too big? Thats a mink fur coat. This is a beggars outfit, one thats never been washed! You could still recognize her?

Womans intuition, Im sureah, oh no Along with Xiao Xias exclamation, Hong Hao Hao could be seen suddenly splitting in two. The smaller half was sucked into the banner and the larger half vanished with a tragic cry.

She escaped!

Part of her escaped! Wan Li corrected.

He walked over and stroked the tattered banner. It seems controlling this with just his talisman isnt good enough. Its unfortunately neither of us have any powers. Thinking about it, Ah Zhan is quite pitiful having to work with us two fools. We can never be of help!

Hes in a lot of danger at the moment. We have to help him!

Ill go. You stay here and watch over his body. With your amulet, and with this talisman holding down the fort, no spirits will dare approach you guys. However, someone has to keep watch.

Alright. Xiao Xia agreed straightforwardly.

Wan Li nodded in relief. He liked this part of Xiao Xia. Despite being a woman, she never made a fuss and didnt quibble in critical situations. In a situation where either she or her lover had to die, if the man was holding off the enemy telling her to run, she wouldnt cry and insist on dying together. Instead, she would immediately leave and then seek vengeance desperately before joining her lover in death.

You wouldnt molest him while hes unconscious, right?! Wan Li fished out a sturdy stick from the thicket and stuck the talisman from the tattered banner on top of it. This was something he had found while waiting. He figured there might be a fight later, and this talisman still had some spirit power. It would be a shame to waste it.

The situation had changed in an instant, shattering the fragile equilibrium. Luckily, Ruan Zhan reacted extremely quickly. He stabbed the bloodwood sword at Hong Hao Hao mercilessly. He didnt hesitate and the bloodwood sword didnt let him down either. It truly managed to become sharp as steel and stabbed into her body. Then, it shot forth a beam of red light like never before. It struck like an arrow, firmly nailing the rear portions of the gray shadows that escaped from Yang Mu You and Hong Hao Haos bodies to the floor.

Damn brat, your powers have truly increased! Yang Mu You was unable to struggle free and involuntarily cursed.

This head-on confrontation was an act of courage on Ruan Zhans part. He himself had no idea that in this urgent situation, he would be able to unleash another portion of his sealed power. This also made him a little sluggish, so as Hong Hao Haos corpse fell backwards, the bloodwood sword actually slipped from his grasp. He immediately lunged for the hilt but felt something tighten on the back of his neck. Shuo Ri and Shuo Xing had grabbed him from behind.

He had just possessed this stone body recently and was naturally not as familiar with using it as the other two brothers. He immediately became disadvantaged.

At this moment, the cave was filled with all sorts of noise. Ruan Zhan battled the two stone people, Hong Hao Haos spirit sobbed in despair and Yang Mu Yous spirit let out weird cries as he struggled to free himself from the bloodwood swords light. Not a single ghost dared approach, let alone any humans.

How lively! Wan Li suddenly leaped in.

Hurry and stop that person! Yang Mu You cried out. He cannot be allowed to grab the bloodwood sword, or were all done for!

Hearing this, one of the brothers immediately split off from attacking Ruan Zhan and pounced towards Wan Li, greeting him with a fist. Wan Li was startled. He hadnt expected such a sturdy person to be so fast. He subconsciously used the branch in his hand to block. With a crack, the log split in two. If Wan Li hadnt dodged quickly, his head would have met the same fate.

Hes a stone person, be careful! Ruan Zhan called. He understood that since Wan Li had come, Xiao Xia must be safe. His courage immediately multiplied.

With Ruan Zhans warning, Wan Li narrowly dodged another blow. No wonder they were able to handle so many wealthy women looking to sin. It turns out stone people are so mighty! As he spoke, Wan Li stabbed the end of the stick with the talisman towards the stone persons heart. That stone person immediately leapt back as thought burnt. He happened to make contact with the bloodwood sword still stuck in Hong Hao Haos body, and the spirit attached in his body was immediately ejected. It was actually a withered old man. Without the spirits support, the human-shaped stone sculpture collapsed. The shattered stones buried the bloodwood sword and Hong Hao Haos body.

Looks like beauty is truly only skin deep! Wan Li was afraid that spirit would attack Ruan Zhan and didnt dare go look for the bloodwood sword right away. He could only use the talisman-enhanced wood to keep it at bay. Who would have thought the pretty boy was actually a vulgar old man! Ah Zhan, why doesnt the bloodwood sword eject your spirit even though youre also possessing something at the moment?

Because I am. Ruan Zhan gradually grew accustomed to his stone body and knocked his opponent down with a blow. The swords master, idiot!

Ruan Zhan saw that the stone person was unable to get up for the moment and immediately went to look for the bloodwood sword. He saw that Yang Mu You was forming a green circle on the floor, and was just shy of completing it. He knew he was trying to escape using Daoist arts, and wished nothing more than to immediately stop him. He knew that ghosts with a large amount of spiritual energy was very frightening. Especially this one, which may very well have been a powerful Daoist when he was alive!

He had caught him off guard using Xiao Xias plan today and damaged his spirit root. He was probably unable to recover for a while and wont be able to do evil. However, it would be best to exterminate him. Otherwise, he would have to start cultivating and learn to unleash his powers which had been sealed for many years. His current abilities were far from enough to face off directly against this opponent!

Using the strength of his current body, he dug wildly through the shattered stones. Before long, he realized that the ravenous nature of these black stones had only increased after shattering. The surrounding stones, bugs and small animals had all been sucked over, inadvertently burying the bloodwood sword even deeper. Since the stones were merely fiendish objects and not spiritual ones, the bloodwood sword was also helpless. It could only send out vibrations to call its master.

He dug desperately but the stone person behind him got up, once again gripping his neck from behind. He saw the bloodwood swords hilt right in front of him. It was just a few inches away but he was ultimately unable to reach it. Yang Mu You had almost completed teleportation circle!

If only there was someone else who could help! Wan Li said randomly.

Suddenly, a womans voice responded from outside the window. Then, a twisted red object floated inside.
