The previous moment I saved Mo Ting.
But this moment, Mo Ting's expression suddenly changed, and he drew his sword to stab me.
Seeing this, my heart tightened.
What's going on?
Could Mo Ting suddenly be possessed by a ghost?
This thought flashed through my mind.
I wanted to dodge, but found it was too late due to the close distance.
I saw the peach wood sword in Mo Ting's hand pointing directly at me.
I frowned, looking at Mo Ting with some bewilderment.
I had already prepared to be stabbed…
However, Mo Ting's sword did not hit me.
Instead, it grazed my left rib and went straight through.
"Ah!"
Following a scream.
My heart trembled, and only then did I discover in surprise.
Behind me, a white-clothed male ghost had appeared without anyone noticing.
The male ghost opened its mouth wide, stretched its neck, and prepared to sneak attack me from behind.
Old Mo wasn't trying to stab me, he was trying to stab the male ghost sneak attacking me…
After the sword strike, I quickly dodged.
Old Mo followed up with a kick, sending the male ghost tumbling to the ground.
Soon it disintegrated, soul scattered, leaving only a pile of broken straw.
My heart still pounding, I felt grateful to Mo Ting:
"Thanks, Old Mo."
Mo Ting panted:
"We're in this together, why say that?"
I smiled and nodded, my trust in Mo Ting deepening.
Now, we had killed two of the eight white-clothed ghosts, with six remaining.
These six ghosts still glared at us with ferocious expressions and malevolent faces.
Surrounding me and Mo Ting, they constantly made probing swipes with their claws.
Baring their fangs, they let out low growls of "ao ao ao."
Looking at their ferocious appearance, their dark, hollow eyes, and mouths full of sharp teeth.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared.
But having chosen this path, if I wanted to continue living, I had to push forward bravely.
After killing a ghost earlier, the color of the ghost longevity money had visibly darkened.
If all the remaining white-clothed ghosts were killed, we should be able to get a lot of lamp oil.
At least for the next two months, we shouldn't worry.
Thinking this, I suppressed the last trace of fear in my heart.
My gaze also became resolute.
At the same time, seeing a white-clothed ghost suddenly make a probing lunge.
Letting out "ao ao" cries.
I glared at it and swung my sword.
The yang energy emanating from the peach wood sword scared the white-clothed ghost into retreating repeatedly.
After all, not every ghost was as powerful as the headless fierce ghost from last night.
Not only was it unafraid of the peach wood sword in my hand, but it even dared to grab it with its hand.
Although the sword strike forced the ghost back, I had no intention of letting it live.
Stepping forward, the peach wood sword thrust directly.
After defending for so long, I now intended to counterattack.
As I struck, I also shouted:
"Old Mo, chop him!"
If I hadn't been restraining Mo Ting, he would have rushed forward long ago.
Hearing my command now, his expression brightened:
"Alright!"
With that, the two of us suddenly attacked, heading straight for the white-clothed ghost that was probing us.
We intended to kill another one.
The white-clothed ghost had clearly not expected this.
That we, who had been defending for so long, would suddenly attack.
For a moment, it became flustered, its body retreating repeatedly.
But our speed was faster, I swung my sword down, scaring the ghost into dodging to the left.
Mo Ting followed up with a thrust, and the white-clothed ghost, unable to evade, was directly stabbed in the left chest.
"Ah!"
It cried out in pain, reaching out to grab the peach wood sword stuck in its body.
As soon as its ghost claws touched it, they sizzled and steamed due to the yang energy on the peach wood sword, and it quickly let go.
Seeing that Old Mo had already stabbed the male ghost, I naturally wouldn't give it any more chances to escape.
I brought my sword down towards its head.
As the peach wood sword struck its head, there was a cracking sound.
"Bang," like a balloon bursting.
The male ghost, without even a cry of pain, directly disintegrated, its soul scattered, leaving a sky full of broken straw.
Mo Ting and I, joining forces again, had killed another white-clothed ghost.
And our movements were seamless, without any hesitation.
After we killed this white-clothed ghost.
A wisp of white energy was absorbed by the longevity coin bracelet on my left wrist, providing me with some lamp oil for extended life.
The surrounding five ghosts quickly swarmed towards us.
Raising their ghost claws, they lunged forward with "ao ao" cries.
Each claw was like a sharp scimitar.
Mo Ting and I hurriedly turned and swept, retreating back to back.
When the ghost claws struck the tree trunk, they made a harsh "szzzz" sound, leaving several claw marks on the bark.
While retreating, we both took out our Bagua mirrors and shone them on these white-clothed ghosts.
When illuminated by the Bagua mirrors, these ghosts, frightened, quickly used their arms to shield themselves.
They let out low moans of "wuwuwu," retreating in fear.
This temporarily relieved the pressure on both of us.
But now we had stabilized our footing.
After several defensive maneuvers, we once again locked onto our targets.
We advanced and retreated together, and once a target was locked, we attacked with full force.
This method was often very effective in killing malevolent spirits, and even if we didn't kill them, we could injure or heavily wound them.
Mo Ting and I used this method to constantly engage with these white-clothed ghosts.
Although the battles were exhausting, and we were already out of breath.
The number of white-clothed ghosts surrounding us had also decreased from the initial eight to the current three.
Facing these last three white-clothed ghosts, Mo Ting and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because these three ghosts could no longer pose a significant threat to us.
At this moment, I scanned the three white-clothed ghosts.
With killing intent, I said in a deep voice:
"Old Mo, let's kill these three white-clothed ghosts, and then we'll go help master and the others…"
