My master spoke, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.
I nodded emphatically,
"Good master!"
After speaking, several specters lunged at me.
I looked at these specters, their bodies covered in black energy, and took a deep breath.
My cultivation instantly surged to its peak.
The Soul Palace realm was fully unleashed.
Raising my peach wood sword, I swung it down.
"Die!"
With a low growl from me,
One specter, before it could even strike, let out a scream.
It was slain with a single sword strike, transforming into a wisp of black mist and vanishing on the spot.
Simultaneously, I drew my sword back for several more strikes.
"Swish, swish, swish," several specters beside me were instantly killed.
My master, seeing me act, showed a slight surprise:
"Little Qin, have you broken through to the Soul Palace realm?"
A smile curved his lips:
"Yes, master!"
"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
My master seemed somewhat astonished.
I, however, smiled:
"You didn't ask me!"
After speaking, two more specters appeared. I met them with two sword thrusts, killing them.
My master, hearing my reply,
With a hint of a wry smile:
"You rascal, you broke through and didn't even tell your master..."
After speaking, my master also unleashed a series of attacks.
With two sharp sounds, I felt waves of spiritual energy reverberate.
The seven or eight specters that had been surrounding my master were instantly obliterated, turning into black mist.
Thus, my master and I joined forces.
We fought the specters in this garage, engaging them fiercely.
Dozens of specters, looking ferocious,
Cried out "Eat, eat, eat" with every breath.
But when they truly charged at my master and me, they were essentially dispatched with a single blow.
Facing my master, he didn't even need a single move to cleave these specters to death on the spot.
Therefore, dozens of specters.
My master and I quickly finished them off.
I took a couple of breaths, while my master looked at me strangely:
"Well, you scoundrel, you actually broke through to the Soul Palace realm behind my back.
It seems I still underestimated you."
I felt a little embarrassed and scratched my head.
My master was very happy, after all, I was his disciple.
He was also very pleased with my breakthrough:
"Good, now that you've reached the Soul Palace realm,
Our master and disciple can go all out."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, master."
I nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, my master led me forward, charging ahead.
At the same time, I kept shouting.
The surrounding specters were also drawn by my voice from time to time.
Emerging from various places, wanting to consume us.
Here, ghosts cannot receive offerings, nor can they absorb the essence of the sun and moon, nor the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After becoming specters, when they see living people,
It's as if a person who hasn't eaten for seven or eight days sees food...
They all want to rush forward and take a bite or two.
Absorb the vital essence of our human energy.
Unfortunately for them, they picked the wrong people.
We walked forward for about ten more minutes.
I suddenly saw a person lying next to a small car not far away.
My expression changed, and I exclaimed with surprise:
"Master, there's someone over there!"
I pointed, then ran over.
When I got closer, I realized the person was already dead.
Their face was gnawed beyond recognition, and there was blood everywhere...
But the body was still warm.
"Master, this person died not long ago!"
My master nodded:
"It seems the people who mistakenly entered the Yin-Yang Gate are nearby.
Let's go, continue searching ahead!"
My master directed.
And we could only abandon this person's corpse and search for living people who were still alive.
However, the further we went, the more specters we encountered.
Before long, we saw that in a garage not far away, one to two hundred specters were densely floating.
And many of these specters were surrounding a small car, constantly banging on its windows.
The dull thuds of "thump, thump, thump" continued to sound.
"Master, there might be people in that car!"
I pointed at the vehicle and shouted.
My master nodded:
"Stop the nonsense, let's rush over and see!"
My master and I quickened our pace, moving forward rapidly.
These specters' perception seemed to have a limit.
Only when we were about two hundred meters away did these specters react.
They all looked towards us.
Seeing the two living people, they raised their claws, stared at us with vacant eyes, and then "ao ao" cried out and pounced.
Their mouths still uttered "eat, eat," sending shivers down one's spine.
My master and I were like a sharp blade, directly piercing the group of specters.
These specters wailed as they surged forward.
But my master's cultivation was too high.
Facing these low-level malevolent spirits, he continuously swung his bronze coin sword, "swish, swish, swish."
From time to time, he also cast a talisman.
As soon as the power of the talisman was released,
There was a "buzz" explosion.
The surrounding specters were either blown to death or severely weakened.
Under such fierce offensive, more than half of these one to two hundred specters were killed in an instant.
Although I wasn't as powerful as my master, I always kept an eye on our rear.
Ensuring our backs were safe and not ambushed by these specters.
Soon, we reached the small car.
The car windows had already developed cracks.
But we could vaguely see people inside.
And there were crying sounds of "wuwuwu"...
My master and I eliminated the specters around them in a few swift moves.
I directly approached the car window and tapped it with my hand:
"Is anyone in there? Chu Yue, is that you inside..."
I called out twice.
But the person inside the car was clearly terrified.
Seeing me tap the window, they didn't even hear my words clearly.
Holding a pendant of Guanyin Bodhisattva in their hand, they stared at the window and shouted:
"Don't come, don't come near..."
It seemed the person in the car was completely scared out of their wits.
