As Wu Lianhua, whose body had sprouted pig bristles, spoke, she had already gotten off the bed.
Her extremely corpulent body stood directly opposite us.
However, looking at her now, Wu Lianhua seemed to have transformed into someone entirely different.
Dense, black pig bristles covered her entire body.
Her mouth and nose were upturned, resembling a pig's snout, with fangs curling out from the corners of her mouth.
Besides emanating waves of cold ghost energy, her entire being reeked of a strong, gamy pig odor.
Seeing this, the few of us grew grim.
I directly spoke:
"Wang Lishi, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
But the female ghost had completely lost her senses.
She roared at us:
"You wicked people all deserve to die!"
With that, Wu Lianhua suddenly let out a pig's grunt and lunged at us.
Her corpulent body landed with each step,
making the floorboards tremble with a dull thudding sound.
Yet, her speed was considerable.
"Be careful!"
I shouted, and the three of us quickly scattered.
I raised my peach wood sword and charged forward.
As soon as I got close, Wu Lianhua raised her hands and slammed them down.
Her hands were now covered in pig bristles, looking more like pig hooves.
Her skin was thick and tough.
I could only parry with the peach wood sword.
"Bang!"
With a single strike, my arm went numb.
The force was immense.
Considering my current cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Soul Palace,
ordinary minor ghosts and demons would be no match for me.
Yet, Wu Lianhua now displayed such tremendous strength.
This demonstrated the formidable power of the possessing female ghost and the immense force of the transformed Wu Lianhua.
I tightened my grip on the peach wood sword and sneered:
"Interesting!"
Saying so, I grabbed an exorcism talisman with my other hand.
I slapped it onto Wu Lianhua's body.
On either side, Old Mo and Xiao Mei also made their moves,
preparing to surround her from three sides and suppress the female ghost.
Besides her immense physical strength, the female ghost possessing Wu Lianhua was also a difficult opponent.
The moment the three of us attacked,
the female ghost Wang Lishi, possessing Wu Lianhua's body, directly let out a furious roar:
"All of you, die!"
With that, black smoke billowed from her body.
With a "hum," a surge of spiritual energy erupted,
forcing the three of us back once more.
Wu Lianhua, however, did not stop. She lunged at me as I retreated.
Her corpulent body, weighing over five hundred pounds, leaped into the air and hurtled towards me.
Seeing this, my expression changed dramatically, and a chill ran down my spine.
If she hit me directly, I would be crushed.
I hurriedly dodged to the side.
With a "bang," Wu Lianhua's heavy body landed on the ground,
cracking the floorboards.
Old Mo and Xiao Mei rushed forward from both sides again,
mounting Wu Lianhua and attempting to restrain her.
After all, Wu Lianhua was still human.
Our goal was to force out the female ghost and save Wu Lianhua.
But unexpectedly, even with the combined efforts of Old Mo and Xiao Mei, they couldn't hold her down.
Wu Lianhua possessed immense, monstrous strength.
Struggling violently, she flung Xiao Mei and Old Mo away.
Old Mo was sent flying into the door,
shattering it with a loud crack.
Xiao Mei was thrown onto the dressing table, in great pain.
"Damn it, looks like I have to get serious."
I growled lowly.
Raising the talisman, I charged forward.
Wu Lianhua was currently aiming for Old Mo and lunged.
But before she could get close,
the talisman in my hand struck her back.
Wu Lianhua's body trembled.
The female ghost within her also felt the power of the talisman.
Her body flickered, and a frail, pale-faced woman appeared at the back of Wu Lianhua's head.
But she glared fiercely at me:
"You are the one who ruined our family!"
The female ghost's words were disjointed, but after this one sentence, black mist condensed.
It formed a claw and swiped at my face.
The speed was terrifyingly fast, startling me.
I sharply dodged backward, not even having time to cast a talisman.
Even so, I was still a fraction too slow.
This claw directly grasped my arm.
I was greatly alarmed and tried to break free.
But I was flung by the opponent.
My entire body flew towards Old Mo.
Old Mo had just gotten up,
and I crashed directly into him.
"Ah!"
Old Mo cried out in pain, and the two of us rolled out of the room.
"Lao Qin, what the hell was that?"
Old Mo said, enduring the pain.
With Old Mo as a cushion, I wasn't as badly hurt.
But my expression had turned extremely grim:
"This female ghost is quite powerful; her cultivation might even be higher than mine. Don't underestimate her."
I spoke in a low voice.
It had only been a few rounds?
And we hadn't gained any advantage.
Moreover, the technique just now, that condensed black mist arm, was likely not something ordinary specters could achieve.
Inside the room, Xiao Mei also let out a fierce cry and lunged at Wu Lianhua.
The result was also a great loss for her.
Wu Lianhua, controlled by the female ghost, used a powerful headbutt, sending her out of the room.
"Xiao Mei!"
I quickly pulled Xiao Mei up.
Meanwhile, Wu Lianhua ran towards the doorway with heavy thuds.
Her momentum was formidable.
Seeing this, I shielded Xiao Mei and Old Mo, saying:
"Fall back!"
Then, Wu Lianhua, like a human tank,
proceeded to shatter the narrow doorframe.
The brick wall also broke.
Thudding sounds echoed as bricks and wood splinters littered the ground.
