Just now, facing the attack of the vengeful spirit, Wang Kai exerted all his strength. He concentrated all his attention, pushed his physical functions to the extreme, and only then managed to dodge the spirit's attack.
This thing flew too fast, and it seemed completely unaffected by gravity. Its flight path was erratic.
Wang Kai finally managed to spread out and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, the two attacks only managed to reduce the vengeful spirit's size a bit. This thing still possessed full killing power!
Ling Tian stepped forward and patted Wang Kai's shoulder.
"Brother Kai, I didn't lie to you, did I? This thing is not easy to deal with. What would you do if two or three of them attacked you at once!"
"Ling Tian, is my saber not effective enough? Why can't I chop this thing to death."
"Brother Kai, vengeful spirits, in essence, are spiritual bodies, intangible. Ordinary swords and sabers would pass right through them, making it impossible to harm them.
Think about it, if you tried to chop a cloud of smoke or a ball of flame with an ordinary sword, could you hurt them?
This Muramasa demon blade has killed too many people. Too much malevolent energy has condensed on its blade, which is why it can inflict some damage on them."
"Then what should we do!"
"As I said, let me!"
Ling Tian said, taking a big step forward and lunging towards the vengeful spirit.
In a flash, Ling Tian directly took out a talisman from his pocket, injected his true qi into it, and the talisman was immediately ignited, turning into a fist-sized fireball in Ling Tian's hand.
"Explosive Fire Talisman! Go!"
Ling Tian extended his hand, pointing his right index finger in the direction of the vengeful spirit. The fist-sized fireball instantly shot out, flying directly towards the spirit.
Although the fireball looked only fist-sized, the vengeful spirit in the sky seemed to sense the immense energy contained within this small object.
So, this thing actually stopped its momentum in mid-air, turned around, and fled.
The vengeful spirit had no intelligence, but it possessed the instinct to avoid harm. It instinctively felt that this small fireball could harm it, so it directly fled.
However, escape was impossible. Ling Tian had already locked onto the vengeful spirit with his spiritual power. The fireball, like a maggot gnawing at the bone, chased after it and slammed hard into the spirit's body.
"Boom!"
The moment the fireball came into contact with the vengeful spirit, it suddenly exploded, transforming into a massive fireball nearly two meters in diameter. This mass of flame directly engulfed the vengeful spirit.
Deep within their souls, they seemed to hear a piercing howl. The next moment, the giant fireball dissipated, and the vengeful spirit was burned to nothing.
Vengeful spirits are Yin and evil entities, most afraid of things like sunlight and fire. This Explosive Fire Talisman, upon explosion, could generate thousands of degrees of heat.
This high temperature was fatal to spiritual bodies possessing Yin and cold energy. It was instantly incinerated completely.
Wang Kai's mouth gaped open in shock. He stared with wide eyes, trying to find the vengeful spirit, but he could see nothing.
"Where did that thing go?"
"It's gone, burned to ashes. It's completely finished, even gods couldn't save it from this escape." Ling Tian chuckled.
"Ling Tian, forget it. I'll go back and tell Grandpa to just burn this house down.
I'll bring a few barrels of gasoline, and whatever dirty things are in here, I'll cremate them all!" Wang Kai said, still shaken.
"Burning is necessary, but we can't use gasoline. That stuff pollutes the environment too much, and it would ruin this auspicious geomantic spot.
Go get some pure alcohol. That stuff burns just as well, and importantly, it's environmentally friendly."
"That's no problem. But Ling Tian, let's leave first. Since we've decided to burn it, there's no need to continue taking risks."
Ling Tian shook his head, his expression very solemn.
"Brother Kai, there's something strange about this house. There should be some kind of formation or something inside. If that thing isn't broken, you won't be able to burn this house down even with a few barrels of gasoline."
"If it can't be burned, then we'll just leave it. It's been here for over ten years anyway. Wangjiazhuang is so big, we don't lack one plot of land."
"It's not as simple as you think. The feng shui here is a place where a hundred dragons converge into an abyss. The surrounding qi will continuously gather here.
In other words, if left unchecked, the things inside will become increasingly powerful, and the area affected by this strange situation will also expand.
Perhaps in a few decades, the entire Wangjiazhuang will become a strange place like this courtyard!"
"This..." Wang Kai was speechless. He never imagined that things would be so serious.
If Ling Tian had said this to him just a few tens of minutes ago, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But now, having witnessed so many strange occurrences firsthand, he couldn't help but believe him.
"Brother Kai, listen to me. Hurry back and prepare pure alcohol, and let's set it on fire!" Da Feng Novel Network
Wang Kai's heart was in turmoil. After a long while, he nodded firmly.
"Alright, Ling Tian, I'll do as you say. I'll go find Grandpa now.
You must not be reckless. If you can't handle it, flee immediately.
Our Wang family's business hasn't been very good recently, but we still have enough money to buy some alcohol."
Ling Tian waved his hand, and Wang Kai slowly held his long saber, maintaining his guard, as he walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Ling Tian watched him walk out of the courtyard before turning around and entering the three-story small building.
Although the sun was bright outside, and it was around ten in the morning, the inside of this small building was dim, with a chilling wind blowing.
Ling Tian held the demon-subduing pestle in his left hand and a fire talisman in his right, cautiously making his way through the building.
First floor, second floor, third floor...
In over ten minutes, Ling Tian had searched every room in the building. The rooms were all covered in dust, with no signs of anyone having lived there.
These rooms showed no other abnormalities, and there seemed to be no formations or anything similar.
Ling Tian recalled the design blueprints of the house he had seen before coming, and a guess arose. Since the three floors above ground were fine, the problem must lie in the basement of the house!
Multi-story villas like this often have basements, partly to house heating boilers and other facilities, and partly because some wealthy people prefer to set up wine cellars or even vaults in the basement.
The area of the basement in this house was even larger than the area above ground.
Ling Tian returned to the first floor, found the location of the kitchen, and by the kitchen door, there was a steel door. This steel door was the entrance to the basement!
A thick, rusty iron lock hung on the steel door. Ling Tian channeled his true qi, circulating the true essence within him. His true qi condensed on the demon-subduing pestle in his left hand, and he aimed it at the iron lock and struck downwards forcefully.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the iron lock broke.
"Creak!" The steel door was pushed open, revealing a staircase about 10 meters long. Looking into the darkness below!
