Chapter 258 Playing Mahjong
These words were clearly spoken to Shang Ji.
Tai Ali's Shangji chuckled, "I can help whoever I want, it's none of your business."
"..."
Yun Fuzhao said to Yuchi Gong, "You retreat first, I'll take care of her."
"Don't touch her hair, or you'll absorb her essence and spirit."
Yun Fuzhao nodded. "Leave it to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held Tai'a horizontally, and complex incantations appeared on the sword. The dazzling light collided with the black hair that rushed in like the sea.
The strands of hair were charred and curled up little by little after touching Tai'a.
The female ghost's expression changed, and she suddenly pulled back her long hair, her figure shrank drastically, turning into a normal human form, and then suddenly pounced on her.
Yun Fuzhao had anticipated this. With a flash, he vanished from his spot like a ghost, appearing behind the female ghost the next second. His Tai'a sword, carrying a sharp wind, aimed straight for the female ghost's head. The female ghost reacted extremely quickly, her body contorting instantly, her nails growing wildly as she slapped at the Tai'a sword. With a "bang," both of them staggered back several steps.
"Hiss—who is this disciple?" the cultivator off-screen wondered. "When did the Nameless Clan produce such a powerful disciple?"
"What a pity. Of all the things to refine, why did he have to choose sword refining? With such an impure heart, even if he achieves something, he will never amount to anything."
One disciple thought to himself, "At a time like this, who cares about cultivation? Survival is more important than anything else."
However, he only dared to say these words in his heart. If he said them to their faces, they would definitely call him a traitor of the Northern Continent.
Yu Zhiyue and the others were helpless and could only watch anxiously.
Just then, the female ghost seemed to sense something and summoned more than a dozen little ghosts to interfere with Xunliu.
"What should we do? Our magical artifacts aren't working against ghosts..."
Just as they were about to surround them, the cultivators from the Yuchi family arrived.
"We're here to help you."
Everyone understood that the only way to survive right now was through Xunliu.
Although they didn't believe that the nameless family could pull off anything, none of them were talisman cultivators.
All our hopes can be pinned on her.
Yu Chi Yan said, "The Yu Chi family believes in Buddhism and they all wear relics on their bodies, which can have a certain deterrent effect on ghosts."
The disciples of the Yuchi family surrounded the disciples of the nameless family.
Sure enough, the little devils stopped coming closer.
They lingered around like predatory beasts waiting for their chance to pounce and tear them to shreds.
Yuchi Gong: "The relic won't last long, Xunliu, you can do it."
Xun Liu, sitting in the center, was covered in sweat. Her nerves were on edge. She stared intently at the "Heaven-Stabilizing Mantra" and her fingers kept gesturing in the air.
Time passed second by second, and Yun Fuzhao's spiritual energy was almost exhausted.
She used only two moves of the Void Dragon Roar technique, and her spiritual energy was already depleted by more than half. Without the replenishment of spiritual energy from the outside world, she would be completely drained sooner or later.
For now, we can only pin our hopes on Xunliu.
“This female ghost has absorbed the life essence of two cultivators, and she is at her most powerful,” Shang Ji advised her. “If all else fails, you should surrender.”
"You're so naive. Even if we surrender, she won't let us go."
Shang Ji chimed in, "Yes, a short pain is worse than a long one. We'll die sooner or later anyway. If you die, you might become a ghost, and then I'll take you as my little brother."
"..."
[Yun Family Team 5, Ziqian: This ghost isn't powerful enough to kill you.]
In other words, they're just insignificant brats, not worth mentioning.
The powerful figures always have an inexplicable confidence in her.
"Shh-"
Yun Fuzhao was caught off guard and her arm was scratched by the female ghost's sharp claws. The ghost tore her robes, leaving three obvious bloody marks on her flesh.
The stinging pain felt like being pricked by needles, causing her to involuntarily gasp.
Shang Ji: "It will take some time for the scratch from the ghost to heal."
The woman laughed. "I admire you. You're better than all of them."
"No."
Yun Fuzhao picked up Tai'a again, intending to continue attacking her, but Tai'a felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and slammed into the soil with a "bang".
"..."
A long-awaited scene.
Her spiritual energy was no longer sufficient for her to wield the sword.
[Wait, there isn't a single talisman user in the live stream?]
[What a coincidence! They recently went on a trip to a place a thousand years ago. They probably won't be back for a while.]
[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: I really don't have any talismans.]
The female ghost shook her head, "Is that all?"
She slowly approached Yun Fuzhao, her fingers closing as she was about to grab his neck.
As Yun Fuzhao gritted his teeth, preparing to unleash the Jade Orb, a yellow figure flashed by, precisely striking the back of the female ghost's hand.
The female ghost glanced down, dismissively about to tear it open, but the moment her right hand touched the yellow talisman, flames instantly ignited, setting her withered fingers ablaze.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The female ghost retreated dozens of steps, her ghostly aura spreading outwards, trying to stop the flames from spreading.
Xun Liu came to Yun Fuzhao's side, her voice trembling with nervousness, "Are you alright?"
"fine."
Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief, "You've come at just the right time."
Xun Liu's face was flushed, but her eyes were resolute. She said to the female ghost, "With me here, you can't hurt them."
The group of cultivators off-screen remained silent.
Gongsun Chu felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.
The skeptical type: "Impossible, absolutely not..."
The "Broken Defense" type: "God, I'll never call you 'Grandpa' again, because you never treated me like a grandson!"
Crazy type: "Hahaha, none of my family members understand this. She learned several talisman techniques in half an incense stick's time. This is just asking me to eat shit upside down."
The female ghost looked at Xunliu with some fear.
But she knew in her heart that there was no spiritual energy here, and even with talismans, she couldn't last long.
[He Yu, the fourth guard of the Yun family brigade: What good show have I missed?]
[Yun Family Brigade 3, Ren Chensheng: Where have you been wandering around, old man?]
[He Yu, 4th Guard of the Yun Family Brigade: That old bastard Qi Teng asked me to play mahjong, and we just finished.]
Why didn't you invite me to play mahjong?!
Is this the point?
Yun Fuzhao: [Elder Wei, do you have any exorcism talismans?]
[Yun Family Brigade 4th Guard He Yu: Yes, brothers, yes.]
[Wei Heyu donated 1 Eighth-Rank One Thought Annihilation.]
Xun Liu had already used up some spiritual energy to refine the talismans and get rid of those minor demons. Her cultivation level was not high to begin with, and drawing high-grade talismans was already exhausting. If she drew a few more, her spiritual energy would not be able to support her.
"As expected, one shouldn't make promises too early." Xun Liu sighed, looking at the last talisman in her hand.
If this doesn't work, we'll all die here.
She gripped the talisman tightly, her heart pounding, and for a moment, the thought of retreating arose in her mind.
Just then she heard Yun Chao's voice, "Throw her away."
She gritted her teeth and made a hand seal to send the talisman flying toward the female ghost.
"It's just an itch."
The female ghost was unconvinced, thinking that this talisman was no different from the previous ones and could not cause her any harm.
However, she did not notice that when the talisman was thrown out, intricate dark patterns lit up on the yellowed paper.
