Bai Changfeng, Xun Tianhai, Xia Xin, and the others instinctively covered their ears, grimacing in pain.
Just by hearing that sound, they felt as if their heads were splitting.
What on earth was this thing?
They couldn’t help but look up.
In the darkness, a glimmer of light was particularly eye-catching.
They saw a long spear piercing into the darkness, as if it had struck flesh.
In the pitch-black darkness, they heard a dripping sound, like droplets of blood falling to the ground.
In the air, there was also a succession of throbbing sounds.
"You, who exactly are you, and why do you keep making trouble for my child and me?"
Just as everyone stood there stunned, the agonized female voice suddenly questioned.
Jiangli heard the voice and, looking in the direction of the long spear, said indifferently, "If you did not wish to harm people, I would not want to deal with you."
"I’ve never thought of harming anyone. You are the ones who keep provoking me time and again! My child and I just want to find a place to live. Why won’t you people let us be?"
During her speech, the voice let out a heart-wrenchingly loud cry.
The next second, the spear thrown by Jiangli was forcefully repelled with a bang.
Jiangli’s eyes darkened, and with a swift hand motion, the spear whizzed back into her hand automatically.
At the same time, the room suddenly lit up.
Only then could everyone see clearly what the thing was.
It was a female ghost dressed in red, wearing an elaborately embroidered and intricately styled bridal gown that was clearly an antique.
A red bridal gown on the body of a female ghost...
A chill went down everyone’s spine.
She was standing in front of a sphere, and now everyone saw that the massive sphere had shrunk considerably, resembling the size of a normal fetus, crouched behind her, radiating an air of pitifulness.
Everyone felt somewhat disordered.
The female ghost stared intently in Jiangli’s direction, her hair suddenly beginning to dance.
The pitch-black hair grew with a sizzling noise, quickly turning into a vast seaweed-like mass.
The next second, the female ghost let out a low shout, and those hairs, as if commanded, charged towards Jiangli in an instant.
Jiangli remained composed, and with a weighty hand, Spiritual Energy surged along the spear in her grip.
As if it had come to life.
The spear shot out swiftly, slicing through the hair.
Chop chop, within the blink of an eye, the hair was cut into countless pieces, scattering in the air.
The already pale, bloodless face of the female ghost grew even whiter.
But her eyes turned even more blood-red.
She kept her gaze fixed on Jiangli, as if looking at a sworn enemy, bit her teeth, and suddenly raised her hands. Her nails grew instantaneously, seemingly endless, like razor-sharp blades, all stabbing towards Jiangli at once.
Jiangli slightly frowned and slammed her spear to the ground. With a loud bang, Spiritual Energy erupted, cleansing the surroundings.
Like a massive cleaver falling from the sky, the nails were uniformly cut down.
The female ghost couldn’t help but stagger back a few steps, leaning against a nearby bookcase, and vomited a mouthful of black blood with a retch.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts lifted and then settled, only to be lifted again.
It seemed the female ghost was no match for Jiangli.
Everyone’s heartbeats became somewhat steadier.
The shrunken flesh ball, seeing the female ghost spit blood, suddenly started bouncing furiously, as if it were exceedingly angry.
The next second, it suddenly pressed down onto the ground, and the flesh ball bounced up, pouncing towards Jiangli.
In the moment it was midair, the small flesh ball suddenly expanded into a huge pouch and aimed at Jiangli’s head, biting down.
"Ancestor, watch out!"
