Grandpa tossed the jade pendant, and it landed right on the groove. Then the entire formation started spinning wildly, as if the jade pendant was the core of activating the formation.
After Fang Shuang was enveloped by the purple aura, his previously empty eyes reappeared under its influence.
However, his eyes remained lifeless, and the black covering his entire body had not faded.
Yanling seemed a little anxious. At this moment, her grandfather, who had already completed the formation, pointed with one hand at Fang Shuang's motionless figure.
"Swift!" Then Shui Yanling saw the wildly spinning array heading straight for Fang Shuang, instantly enveloping him within it.
Grandpa changed his hand gesture, leaving only two fingers standing in front of him, and mumbled something.
The formation, which had been spinning wildly, suddenly stopped, and after a moment, it began to spin in the opposite direction.
Just then, Fang Shuang, who had been motionless, finally began to move. He kept letting out inhuman roars, his body trembled violently, and he held his head with both hands, as if he was in extreme pain.
Shui Yanling suddenly worried that it might harm the original Fang Shuang, but her grandfather glanced at her and indicated that nothing would happen, so she felt relieved and continued to stare intently at the formation.
The formation spun faster and faster, and Fang Shuang trembled even more violently within it. His entire dark face was now incredibly distorted, as if he were suffering pain from the depths of his soul. His empty eyes, which had appeared after being enveloped in purple aura, were now filled with bloodshot veins, revealing a venomous look.
But it was no use. Shui Yanling felt even colder when she heard his screams. What kind of pain must he be in to wail like that? She couldn't help but turn pale.
But Grandpa seemed not to see it at all, and even revealed a cold smile on his face.
Soon his wails grew fainter and fainter. At this moment, the blackness that had covered him began to slowly fade away, spreading from his head to his body, gradually restoring his normal skin color. He seemed to slowly become weak and knelt down on the ground.
The black substance that shed from his body turned into wisps of black smoke, which were then absorbed by the jade pendant at the center of the formation. For some reason, after absorbing the black smoke, a huge crack on the jade pendant disappeared, as if it had never existed.
At this moment, Fang Shuang no longer possessed the immense ghostly aura she had at the beginning. After the last trace of black on her body turned into black smoke and was absorbed by the jade pendant, Fang Shuang closed her eyes and completely lost consciousness.
However, the formation did not disappear and continued to rotate violently around Fang Shuang, but Fang Shuang, who was inside the formation, did not move at all.
Chapter Fifty: Mutual Standoff
Just when Shui Yanling thought it was enough, a large cloud of black smoke suddenly floated out of Fang Shuang's mouth. However, the black smoke was not directly absorbed by the jade pendant. Instead, it confronted the jade pendant in mid-air, as if neither could do anything to the other.
Grandpa and Yanling's eyes flashed when they saw this, but they didn't do anything because they couldn't help at the moment and could only watch quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, the standoff between the two remained undecided. The jade pendant could not absorb the black smoke, and the black smoke could not return to Fang Shuang's body.
But an unexpected event occurred. The rapidly spinning array suddenly stopped, and the jade pendant at the center of the array seemed to have lost its ceremonial support, its power in confronting the black smoke suddenly weakening.
The black smoke seemed to seize the opportunity, instantly breaking free from the jade pendant's control and transforming into a ghost head, heading straight for Fang Shuang's chest.
When Shui Yanling and her grandfather saw this, they suddenly became anxious and were about to make a move when the jade pendant seemed to be very angry as well. It shot out a light green light from the jade pendant, directly blocking the ghost hand's path.
But to everyone's surprise, the ghost head seemed to understand human nature. It turned around quickly and, seeing that it couldn't return to his chest, it went straight for Fang Shuang's right hand. Before the jade pendant could react, the ghost head was already stuck to Fang Shuang's arm.
On Fang Shuang's arm was a small ghost head, which looked exactly like the mask that had been on Fang Shuang's face when she first appeared. It looked like it was both crying and laughing, and it was quite terrifying.
Seeing that there was no other way, the jade pendant could only retract its green light and then remain still, lying in the center of the formation.
When the jade pendant stopped, the formation also suddenly disappeared, leaving only a jade pendant floating quietly in the air, emitting a faint light.
Grandpa gently waved his hand at the jade pendant, and it flew back into his hand, then lost its luster, lying in his hand like an ordinary jade pendant, although many cracks still remained on it.
Fang Shuang had already fallen unconscious on the ground, and the purple aura that enveloped Fang Shuang and Shui Yanling slowly disappeared.
"How is it, Grandpa? Is Fang Shuang alright now?" Shui Yanling couldn't help but ask her grandfather when she saw the current situation.
However, Grandpa swayed and almost fell. His face was extremely pale. This time, he had summoned two true gods at once and spent a lot of energy to draw this formation. It was really too much for him to handle.
"How are you? Grandpa, are you alright?" Shui Yanling rushed over to support him when she saw him like this.
Grandpa just shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just need to rest, don't worry about me!"
Seeing that her grandfather didn't seem to be lying, Shui Yanling's worry lessened a bit, but she didn't stop what she was doing. She continued to hold her grandfather tightly, then found a chair in the messy house and slowly helped him sit down.
