Enraged, Jin grabbed Su Mingyang's collar tightly with both hands and cursed him furiously.

"You idiot! The glutinous rice that should have been scattered in the northeast Gen position was scattered in the southwest Kun position instead!"

The northern Kan position is the key place where the Yin energy of the water ghost gathers. Not only did you not add a thick layer of glutinous rice, but you didn't even sprinkle a single grain. Instead, you acted recklessly in the southern Li position, which is in opposition to it. That's Xiao Chen's business. What does it have to do with you? Why are you copying my thoughts?

The western Dui and Qian positions are crucial because metal generates water, and this should not be neglected. However, you scattered glutinous rice in the eastern Zhen and Xun positions, causing the metal-generating-water force to go out of control.

"You've messed up the Eastern Wood position again, letting the resentment of the water ghosts grow wildly with the power of this disordered orientation! Have you even gone to school, you bastard?!"

Su Mingyang replied weakly, "My family is poor, and I didn't continue my education after graduating from elementary school."

I gritted my teeth and asked, "Then how did you get the job as a corpse transporter?"

Su Mingyang retorted, "Do you need a diploma to lift a corpse?"

For a moment, I was speechless.

After releasing Su Mingyang, Jin Ye bit his tongue without hesitation, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the copper coin sword.

With two quick swishes, they cut the water plants that were tangled around our feet.

He then quickly pulled out a handful of black beans that he had prepared beforehand and scattered them vigorously in all directions.

The water plants and mud that were spreading towards us like a surging tide slowed down instantly when they touched the black beans, as if they had hit an invisible high wall.

It began to writhe and struggle in place, unable to move forward.

However, judging from the constantly churning and surging water plants and mud, they are only temporarily restrained by the power of the black beans. It is only a matter of time before they break through this defense and continue to wreak havoc.

"Is this old man Doraemon? He's like a magic pocket, he has everything!" Su Mingyang stared in disbelief.

I said this is just basic stuff. I've seen my grandfather take out dozens of knives of different shapes and a dozen small porcelain bottles from his person.

Their clothes were specially made, with many inner pockets sewn inside to hold life-saving items, which were completely invisible from the outside.

"Xiao Chen!"

Jin looked at me and said in a deep voice, "The formation has failed. Now we can only fight head-on. I'll go up and hold her off while you and that good-for-nothing run away!"

"Okay!" I nodded.

Jin was stunned for a moment, his mouth agape: "You...you're not going to be polite?"

I grinned: "Brother Jin, have you forgotten? I don't have a [Earth Soul], so I don't have any feelings."

"Awesome!" Master Jin gave a thumbs up, brandishing his blood-stained peach wood sword and thrusting it towards Huang Xiangu.

This time, Huang Xiangu did not dodge, but instead reached out and grabbed the blade of the copper coin sword.

Jin Ye tried to pull hard, but it didn't budge.

With a flick of her wrist, Huang Xiangu sent Jin Ye flying, causing him to crash heavily to the ground.

I tried to run away, but Jin shouted from behind, "Holy crap, you're really running away? Help me!"

As he spoke, the old man seemed genuinely afraid that I would abandon him and run away.

Just then, Huang Xiangu grabbed Jin Ye by the neck and lifted him up.

I roared, clenched my fists, and charged at Huang Xiangu with all my might.

I seized the opportunity and punched her hard in the shoulder.

The punch caused Huang Xiangu to sway slightly, but it did make her release Jin Ye.

Jin Ye quickly got up from the ground and retreated to the side, maintaining a safe distance from Huang Xiangu.

"Boy, find a way to attack this water ghost's forehead. This is the key point where yin energy gathers. Once you hit it, you can disrupt the condensation and flow of its yin energy like a hot knife through butter, greatly weakening its evil power!"

"OK!"

I swung my fist at Aunt Huang Xianyin.

Although Huang Xiangu's body seemed bulky, she was actually more agile than I had imagined, and easily dodged by turning to the side.

Then, like a ghost, he flashed to Su Mingyang's side.

Su Mingyang screamed and tried to run away, but his legs seemed to have lost all strength, and he collapsed to the ground.

Huang Xiangu showed no mercy, reaching out to tightly grip Su Mingyang's neck.

Su Mingyang's face instantly turned bright red, and he frantically tried to pry Huang Xiangu's hands off, but he couldn't budge them at all.

Without thinking, I rushed over and kicked Huang Xiangu in the back.

As if she had sensed something in advance, Huang Xiangu released Su Mingyang, quickly turned around, grabbed my foot, and threw it away forcefully.

I flew through the air in an arc and crashed heavily to the ground, feeling as if every bone in my body was about to shatter.

Seeing this, Master Jin gritted his teeth and rushed forward, stabbing Huang Xiangu fiercely with his peach wood sword.

Huang Xiangu, annoyed, raised her hand and struck Jin Ye in the stomach.

Jin Ye groaned in pain, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.

"Master Jin!"

I endured the excruciating pain all over my body, gritted my teeth and got up from the ground. The fighting spirit in my heart was completely aroused, and I rushed towards Huang Xiangu without regard for anything else.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind, as if something carrying a chilling aura was rapidly approaching.

I was startled and turned to look, only to see that the water plants that had been blocked by the black beans had successfully crossed the black bean barrier.

Like cold, slippery tentacles, they instantly wrapped around my legs.

In the struggle, I caught a glimpse of a shard of glass on the ground, a remnant from the earlier fight.

I quickly bent down and reached out to pick it up, thinking of using it to cut the water plants binding me.

Before I could even grasp the fragment, two more water plants, like nimble venomous snakes, darted out and tightly wrapped around my wrist.

Immediately afterwards, a thicker piece of seaweed suddenly wrapped around my neck.

The water plants tightened more and more, like a noose that kept tightening, and I suddenly felt short of breath.

It felt like my throat was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand; every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain, and I couldn't catch my breath.

I knew in my heart that this was probably all an illusion created by the water ghost, and that the water plants wrapped around my neck at this moment might actually be my own hands in reality.

But my body's instinctive reaction prevented me from calming down.

The feeling of suffocation surged like a tidal wave, completely overwhelming my reason.

I started to feel dizzy, and the scene in front of me gradually blurred. Everything in my vision seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and then multiple overlapping images appeared.

Just as my life hung by a thread, a sharp sound came from Huang Xiangu's body, the cry of some kind of animal.

That's the sound of a weasel.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiangu let out a shrill scream as if struck by lightning, and instinctively let go of me with both hands.

The water plants that had been tightly wrapped around me seemed to have lost control, twisting and shrinking back wildly.

At the same time, a blurry black shadow slowly rose from the wall behind Huang Xiangu.

The dark shadow gradually grew larger, resembling a giant weasel's shadow.
