I have dealt with the crow daoist a few times.
This demonic priest runs exceptionally fast when he can't win. Since he hasn't moved, he must have some tricks up his sleeve. Therefore, I warned everyone not to underestimate the enemy.
Upon hearing my words, everyone also became more serious and responded with a "hmm." They began to clear out the fierce ghosts and malevolent spirits that the twelve demon souls had missed.
However, just as Chen Long, along with Chou Niu, Wu Ma, and Wei Yang, were about to reach the midnight daoist.
The midnight daoist, with a grim expression, suddenly clasped his hands together. He chanted words under his breath. Then, with a low shout, he declared, "Come forth! Red-clothed Ghost Servants!"
As soon as he spoke, a gale swept through the entire village once more. In front of the crow daoist, three dark formations suddenly appeared. Runes flickered, and an eerie aura surged. Following this, a point of red light emerged.
As the single point of red solidified, we all widened our eyes and our pupils constricted. In the darkness, that single point of red was truly dazzling. As the red point condensed, it suddenly expanded and diffused. With three "buzzing" sounds, three red-clothed level fierce ghosts appeared within the dark formations.
Three female ghosts. Clad in red, with red mist swirling around their bodies. Their faces were pale, and they floated in the air with their eyes closed. Their long hair and robes drifted slightly in the night sky. But the chilling, malevolent energy emanating from them washed over us in waves like a tsunami.
Seeing the red-clothed ghosts, our hearts sank again. Yu Bo Yi Hai, Yun Long, and Yun Hu, who had relaxed a moment ago, were now completely stunned. Red-clothed level fierce ghosts were exceptionally terrifying existences among fierce ghosts. Once they appeared, rivers of blood would flow, and an area would be plunged into unrest. Moreover, the reputation of red-clothed fierce ghosts was notoriously wicked among the populace; mere mention of them would make one's face turn pale. This showed how fierce these ghosts were. Back then, fighting a not-peak red-skinned fire ghost in the second factory almost got us killed. Now, three of them appeared. Each one in its prime, that would be quite troublesome...
"Red-clothed, red-clothed fierce ghosts!"
"Heavens! Three of them, three of them appeared all at once!"
"..."
Everyone was astonished. Even the twelve demon souls dared not act rashly at this moment. Judging by their auras, the three red-clothed fierce ghosts were all at the Dao Body realm. As for the twelve demon souls, their strengths varied. The strong ones, like Chen Long, were at the Dao Body realm, while the weak ones, like Mao Tu, were only at the Xuan Dan peak. Although they each had their unique abilities, facing three red-clothed ghosts, they still dared not be careless.
But at this moment, the three red-clothed fierce ghosts slowly opened their eyes. And the moment these three red-clothed ghosts opened their eyes, a beam of red light shot out from their pale pupils. Simultaneously, the three ghosts let out a roar. In an instant, it reverberated throughout the entire village.
"Roar..."
"Wail..."
"Ah..."
The sound was extremely piercing, like some ferocious beast being released from its cage. Following this, terrifying malevolent energy descended from the sky. This energy was too intense, the pressure of the Dao Body realm. We were only at the Xuan Dan realm, a full two major realms higher than us, and we were completely unable to resist. We only felt our blood churning. We could only retreat several steps.
Seeing this, Zi Shu immediately shouted, "Brothers, attack!" With these words, Zi Shu soared into the sky, directly targeting the red-clothed ghosts. Hai Zhu, Wu Gou, and You Ji on the ground followed suit. Each let out a beastly growl.
"Awoo..."
The three red-clothed fierce ghosts also attacked at this moment. They instantly collided with the twelve demon souls. The terrifying Yin-demonic energy and Yin-malevolent energy clashed. With a "bang," a loud explosion erupted, and terrifying energy rippled outwards in waves. Two evil spirits that were too close were instantly killed by this force. This realm was not something we could meddle with.
We all stared at the battle unfolding above the small courtyard. However, the surrounding receding ghost horde once again surged in from the left and right of the courtyard, wailing. Without time to think, I spoke again, "Kill!"
This time, I retracted my Yin-Yang Orb. It consumed too much spiritual energy and I couldn't supply it adequately. I had to choose to engage in close combat for a while. With a few fierce charges, I killed several ghosts. Old Mo, Qiu Xi, and the others were also constantly fighting the specters. The battle was so fierce that the courtyard walls were knocked down. At a glance, the area outside the courtyard was crowded with ghosts. No wonder they couldn't be finished; they seemed endless. They all came from that ghost mound.
How could so many ghosts be killed? With just a few of us, even if we killed them one by one, it would take quite some time. Not only that, out of the twenty-odd yellow-clothed ghosts, although about twenty were killed, five or six were still alive. They now returned, pouncing at us. With sharp fangs and claws, they lunged to tear at us. I spotted a yellow-clothed ghost and charged straight at it. The fierce ghost, seeing me, also roared and lunged forward. It swung its claw down with full force. But I dodged it and counterattacked with my sword, but missed. Behind me, a white-clothed ghost moved in for a sneak attack. Fortunately, Xia Qiu Xi rushed forward and dealt with it. At the same time, I heard Qiu Xi say to me, "You fight ahead with peace of mind, I will guard your rear..."
