Outside.
Shui Yanling was still staring at me when suddenly black mist swirled around my face, and a black hand burst out from my chest. The light of the jade pendant gradually faded, and I, lying on the bed, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, then my whole body trembled.
The black hand that shot out twirled in the air a few times before suddenly lunging at my neck, gripping it tightly as if it were about to end me.
"Damn it!" Shui Yanling snorted coldly, raising the kitchen knife in her hand. The black aura around her had already enveloped the knife when she raised it. Shui Yanling lightly stomped her foot, and the ice shards beside her instantly disappeared. She was about to fly over and cut off the black hand.
Just as the blade was about to reach the black hand, an unexpected event occurred. For some reason, a golden light suddenly shone on the back of my neck, covering my entire body. Shui Yanling looked at the golden light and her face suddenly turned extremely pale, as if the light had pierced directly into the depths of her soul.
Then an unknown force suddenly erupted, violently slamming Shui Yanling against the wall behind her before she fell to the ground.
The black aura around Shui Yanling dissipated considerably under the light. This attack seemed to have caused her considerable damage. Shui Yanling slowly got up from the ground, wiped the blood from her mouth, and looked even more alluring.
Chapter Twenty: True Words and Talismans
"Taoist mantra talisman".
Shui Yanling said softly, as if she recognized the golden light.
At this moment, Shui Yanling couldn't care less about anything else. Just as she was about to rush over with the kitchen knife again, she suddenly stopped because after the golden light repelled her, it went straight for the black hand that was holding my neck. The black hand seemed to be a little scared and immediately released my neck.
Then she saw the golden light confront the black hand in the air. Shui Yanling didn't dare to get too close, after all, she knew the power of that "True Word Talisman" all too well.
However, Shui Yanling was also a little puzzled as to who created this talisman. She had seen similar "true words talismans" before, but this talisman felt different and its power was not on the same level.
There are very few people in the Taoist sect who can draw this talisman. Could it be the current Taoist True Lord? Then Shui Yanling stared at the black hand and felt that it was extremely evil. The eerie ghostly aura it emitted even made her feel a little scared. However, because the situation was too urgent at the time, she did not look at it carefully.
Suddenly, the black hand launched an attack, rushing towards the golden light with lightning speed. The golden light was not to be outdone, and with a slight turn, it transformed into a small golden figure holding a long sword and wearing a lotus crown. Taking advantage of the ghost hand's rush, it raised its long sword and slashed diagonally at the ghost hand.
With a "bang," the golden sword and the ghostly hand met in mid-air, and a huge burst of energy emanated from them.
Shui Yanling picked up the kitchen knife and used the little black energy she had left to wrap around it and block in front of her, but she still couldn't help but take several steps back and crash into the wall. This was just the energy generated by their collision, which showed the strength of the two.
After the golden sword and the ghost hand clashed, they quickly separated, and the golden sword of the little golden figure trembled violently.
The ghostly hand fared no better; one end was connected to my chest, while the other end retreated a considerable distance, tearing open a large gash in my wrist.
The five fingers were bent at an incredible angle, and even though they were split open from the wound, there wasn't a drop of blood. Through the gaps, it looked as if there were many eyeballs inside.
The golden figure's expression was also unpleasant; his hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and his once perfectly integrated, gleaming golden body had dimmed somewhat.
After its fingers were strangely bent, the ghostly hand suddenly straightened up, and then fine black hairs grew from its fingers to its arm and extended all the way to my chest.
The already terrifying Black Hand suddenly surged in power, instantly filling the entire rented room with an evil aura, and purple black mist spread from my chest.
What's even more terrifying is that the wound inflicted by the little golden man is slowly healing. Although the healing is slow, the more the black hand's aura intensifies.
Shui Yanling grew increasingly nervous watching this scene. The mastermind behind this was incredibly powerful. She wondered if the little golden figure formed from the talisman could withstand it. Looking at me lying there, Shui Yanling was filled with worry.
The aura of the black hand grew stronger and stronger, and the entire room seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
The wound had almost healed quickly, and the black hand seemed impatient. Its five fingers condensed into a claw and it slashed at the little golden man. The force of the claw was so strong that it passed by the little golden man before it even touched it, leaving a huge claw mark on the wall.
The golden figure formed from the talisman did not sit idly by. It drew its sword and held it in front of it, muttering incantations. A golden Bagua pattern appeared on the sword and it blocked the flying ghost hand. At this moment, even the air seemed to stop flowing, and Shui Yanling was unable to move.
Both sides were giving it their all. The ghostly hand was just a hair's breadth away from crushing the little golden man, but the Bagua diagram in front of the sword blocked it, preventing the ghostly hand from advancing even an inch.
Seeing that the ghostly hand could not break the Bagua diagram, it seemed a little annoyed. With a shake, its arm grew even thicker and its aura became stronger.
On the other hand, the golden statue's radiance gradually dimmed.
"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out. Upon hearing this sound, Shui Yanling's already pale face suddenly turned extremely ugly. In mid-air, the ghostly hand actually shattered the Bagua diagram.
The little golden man, having lost the Bagua diagram, could only barely use the long sword to block in front of him. The ghostly hand slammed straight into the golden sword, instantly sending the little golden man flying.
