Unbeknownst to anyone, Hei Sha, whose head Zhang Dabiao had severed, rose again. Like the leader of the Ghost Sha, black smoke billowed from its neck, and the first one killed had already regrown its head.
Hearing my warning, Zhang Dabiao sidestepped, attempting to evade. However, the three Hei Sha surrounding him offered no chance to escape. Their six black claws, shimmering with malevolent power, blocked all avenues of his retreat. The only option left was to endure the attack from the Ghost Sha behind him.
Although I had applied the Tian Qiao Seal to myself, there was still a distance of over ten meters between us. Coupled with the dilapidated road caused by Bai Ling'er and the Ghost Sha leader's battle, it would take at least two breaths of time to reach him quickly. This was enough time for Zhang Dabiao to die and be reborn several times over.
"Qian Kun Di Sha Ming, suppress all evils under heaven, with my blood, I summon..."
*She*—
The Yang Blood Liu Yao Array, originally kept to prevent the unrest of Yin souls, instantly ignited a layer of red qi waves with the addition of my tongue-tip blood. The hand seal pointed towards Zhang Dabiao's back.
The wave of red Yang energy transformed into a brilliant dragon-snake, illuminating the area in the night. It let out a silent roar, instantly burrowing into the body of the attacking Ghost Sha.
*Boom*—
A violent explosion erupted behind Zhang Dabiao. Despite my warning, he was still a beat too slow. The blast wave sent him flying over a meter high and several meters away.
The three Hei Sha surrounding him were also impacted by the Yang energy wave, their bodies corroded as if by sulfuric acid, letting out roars of fury, but they did not fall.
Instead, they roared in unison and lunged towards me. Due to the scarcity of Xuan Yang True Qi within me, the previous exertion had drained all of it, leaving me utterly weak. I could only lie on the ground, awaiting death.
Seeing this, Bai Ling'er attempted to descend and rescue me, but she was intercepted by the Shikigami summoned by the Ghost Sha, rendering her unable to break free.
Zhang Dabiao lay on the ground, his condition unknown. Watching the three Hei Sha charging towards me, I felt no fear, but rather a sense of peace. It wasn't that I wasn't afraid of death, but rather that I felt I had done my best...
Just as I gave up struggling, a human figure flashed through my mind. The figure's body had two black and white stripes, and strange characters also sprang into my consciousness.
"The human figure on the white fox fur?"
I felt a certain acupoint within my body stir, then a second, a third... countless points erupted within me, darting around like tadpoles.
Simultaneously, I felt the speed of the three Hei Sha before me become incredibly slow. They moved towards me like slides in a projector, and with a glance, I saw Bai Ling'er in the same state, still in the posture of rushing towards me.
As all the tadpoles converged at the location of my heart, and with each beat, an indescribable power flowed with my blood into every limb and extremity, all my cells emitted 'joyful' moans.
At this moment, I had no time to ponder what was happening, as the claws of the Hei Sha were already reaching my eyes. If I didn't dodge quickly, their claws would pierce my eyes, directly...
I frowned, "Huang San, did you lead us the wrong way? When we came, I remember there was a crooked neck tree here. Why is there nothing now?"
Huang San raised his small head, looking around. Then, his body began to tremble, as if he had encountered something terrifying, and he muttered, looking at us.
"Young Master Song... we... we seem to have stumbled into the territory of Beishan Town."
