The night was silent.

Chapter 237 A Hair's Breadth from Death

I was surrounded by dozens of ghosts.

Each one was ferocious.

They all cried out "ao ao."

With their dark, hollow eyes wide open and their long tongues lolling, they lunged at me desperately, as if wanting to bite me to death.

Miao Nanzi stood far off, watching as if it were a good show.

I wielded the fox claws, constantly stabbing at the ghosts that lunged at me.

At this moment, with one claw, I directly pierced the eye of a ghost.

Blood splattered, and the ghost's face contorted instantly, letting out a piercing scream.

Before I could make any further moves,

Miao Nanzi, from a distance, suddenly spoke:

"That's enough!"

Before his voice faded, he flicked a black talisman.

The black talisman flashed and flew towards me.

I didn't even perceive it before it stuck to my chest.

As soon as the black talisman touched me, my body stiffened violently, becoming completely rigid.

"Damn, I've been controlled..."

I knew it was bad. Now, even with the Wuchang Mantra, I couldn't use it...

Not only that, but a red tongue directly wrapped around my neck.

It pulled me backward.

With a "bang," I fell to the ground.

The dozens of ghosts surrounding me swarmed forward.

Each opened their gaping mouths and lunged to tear and bite me.

Looking at the ghosts before me and their grotesque faces,

My spirit plummeted to the lowest point.

"It's over, am I going to die like this?"

Such a question echoed in my mind at that moment.

The feeling of death instantly enveloped my entire body.

I thought I was going to die...

But, at this critical moment.

A white mist suddenly drifted out from the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendant on my chest.

In the next second, a woman in a black dress materialized in the air above the rooftop.

The woman's dress swayed, and her black hair flew.

Her beautiful eyes were as profound as autumn water.

But at this moment, they emanated a cold killing intent.

Her entire being, unconsciously, released a terrifying aura of pressure.

With the woman's appearance, the entire rooftop was instantly enveloped in extreme cold.

The ambient temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant.

It was her, the ghostly sister who had protected me my whole life, Qing Dai.

She had arrived, appearing at my most dangerous moment, on the brink of death...

As soon as Qing Dai appeared, she let out a cold snort.

"Who dares to harm him!"

Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with authority, echoing across the entire rooftop.

Her voice carried endless anger and killing intent.

Then, she waved her hand.

Her ten fingers were slender and delicate.

But with a single move, a chilling energy instantly swept in all directions.

A gust of cold wind also arose around us.

It surged outwards with "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds.

Making many malevolent spirits unable to stand steady.

They even looked at Qing Dai on the stage in terror, trembling.

They all looked up at Qing Dai above, letting out terrified "wu wu wu" sounds...

Moreover, a white light descended from the sky and exploded directly in front of me.

With a "buzz."

Visible white mist repelled outwards for more than ten meters.

Those ghosts that had surrounded me, wanting to tear at me.

Under such energy, they were all sent flying.

The few ghosts in the center, under this force, instantly vanished into smoke.

The rest of the ghosts also cried out "ao ao" in agony, being thrown to the ground.

They all looked at Qing Dai in terror now, not a single one daring to approach.

They even continuously retreated, clearly terrified by Qing Dai's might.

Watching this, I was filled with shock and disbelief.

This...

So strong, Qing Dai's power seems to have grown even stronger.

Moreover, it was many times stronger than the last time I saw her make a move.

I widened my eyes.

Miao Nanzi, from a distance, also suddenly frowned, looking at Qing Dai with some disbelief.

Perhaps he was also shocked...

Qing Dai paid no attention to those things.

After sweeping away the surrounding ghosts, she landed immediately.

She tore off the black talisman from my chest, clenched it in her hand, and it turned into ashes.

Her beautiful eyes moved, looking at me with great concern:

"Qin Ze, are you alright!"

There were many scratch marks on my body from the ghosts, still oozing blood.

But these were minor injuries, not fatal.

I smiled:

"It's nothing serious, you saved me again."

I smiled and got up from the ground.

Qing Dai seemed to be relieved, shaking her head:

"As long as you're alright!

Leave the rest to me."

Qing Dai's beautiful eyes blinked.

Her eyes were filled with anger and killing intent.

After speaking, she no longer looked at me.

Before I could even speak,

Qing Dai turned directly and stood in front of me.

Facing the demonic Daoist Miao Nanzi directly, she spoke with a cold voice:

"It's you again, you straw-planting demonic Daoist!"

Miao Nanzi also felt Qing Dai's power.

A hint of a grave expression appeared on his straw head:

"Where did this female ghost come from? Don't meddle in other people's affairs.

Be careful, this poor Daoist will make you vanish into smoke."

But Qing Dai paid no attention to Miao Nanzi's words.

Or rather, she didn't take him seriously.

She just let out a cold snort and charged directly at Miao Nanzi.

Seeing Qing Dai charge, I hurriedly reminded her:

"Be careful, he is very powerful!"

As I spoke, I didn't think much of it either.

I followed up, wanting to help.

But Qing Dai's speed was too fast to see, and she darted past in a flash.

Miao Nanzi looked startled.

He raised his hand to block.

In an instant, black light permeated.

A black light shield formed in front of Miao Nanzi.

On it, runes also flickered.

This was likely some kind of spell to block attacks.

Qing Dai's speed did not decrease, she didn't take him seriously at all.

Seeing the black light shield, she struck down with a palm.

With a "bang," the two forces collided, and a ripple of energy surged outwards like a tide.

Even though I was seven or eight meters away,

I was shaken by the ripple and retreated repeatedly, almost losing my balance.

As for Miao Nanzi, who was hit by Qing Dai's palm, he let out a piercing scream.

"Ahhhh..."

The black light shield shattered, and he was sent flying backward.

The energy palm wind shattered his body.

Straw scattered everywhere, and finally, with two "bang bang" sounds, Miao Nanzi fell directly to the ground and rolled twice.

His lower body was smashed, leaving only half a torso.

At this moment, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Qing Dai with utter disbelief.

His straw-stuffed face was filled with horror.

His eyes flashed with green light...

Using his only remaining straw arm, he trembled and pointed at Qing Dai, speaking in shock:

"You, you are, you are Ji, Ji Sheng, Princess Ji Sheng..."
