Then the wizard moved. He slammed his staff into the ground and opened his arms wide. "All forces of darkness, return!"
Then we heard a sound like a raging flood, and saw a black mist, like a flood, surging towards us from all around. The mysterious wizard blended into it and walked towards us step by step.
“This is a ghost that has cultivated for a thousand years,” Xiang Fei warned. “We need to be prepared.”
A blue ghostly claw emerged from the robe and lunged at us, ignoring our magic array and moving with lightning speed.
Xiang Fei picked up a talisman and struck it. To our astonishment, it caught the talisman, crushed it with a single squeeze, and the broken talisman drifted away in the wind as the ghost claws opened.
Then it continued to grab at us. I was the one fighting, and Xiang Fei was the main magician, so he could move while I couldn't, otherwise we would be thrown into chaos and the Yin-Yang magic array would be broken.
The ghost claws had already reached out, and in desperation, Xiang Fei had no choice but to personally confront them. He quickly wrote a Dao incantation on his palm, bit his finger to write a Dao talisman, stuck it on his palm, and then faced the claws.
I heard a loud 'boom' and a burst of yellow light erupted from Xiang Fei's palm, actually knocking the ghost claw back. However, he also let out a muffled groan, and I saw blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his face turning pale.
The situation became critical. It was clear that we were no match for them, mainly because that mysterious wizard was too powerful. He had cultivated for thousands of years and had taken shape. He was probably close to becoming a ghost king.
But now we can only take it one step at a time. In a place like this, no one will come out to help us. We can only hope that we are lucky enough to escape this calamity.
"Hmph, overestimating yourselves. I was just testing you, and you've already injured your vital energy. What do you have left to fight me with?" The mysterious wizard's voice was filled with coldness, as if he already considered us dead.
Sweating profusely, I felt my body growing heavier and heavier. We were already at a disadvantage in the battle. The surrounding cold winds grew stronger, and the vengeful ghosts and spirits were getting closer to us, their hideous and twisted faces seemingly within arm's reach.
A blood-soaked face, a rotting face, and a gaping maw—clearly, if we lose tonight, the consequences will be dire, beyond description.
The mysterious wizard spread his arms wide again, and the surging, flood-like Yin energy rushed towards us like a mountain. I felt a shiver run through my body, as if I had been hit on the head with a club, and my blood churned. Fortunately, I was unharmed.
I saw that Xiang Fei's face had become even paler, and more blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.
This couldn't go on. The passengers inside the bus were so frightened that they huddled under their seats, unable to speak. Although they couldn't see the vengeful spirits and evil energy, they could still see Elder Tucker and the mysterious wizard. With the howling wind outside, anyone would be terrified.
"The disparity in strength is too great; it seems we have no choice but to fight to the death," Xiang Fei said.
I couldn't speak, so I just nodded.
At this moment, I will guard the Yin-Yang Formation, while Xiang Fei will activate the Soul-Suppressing Lamp. This thing has a mysterious origin and seems to be an ancient divine object that can suppress all ghosts in the world.
"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; the soul returns to a dark spring. Under the soul-suppressing lamp, we ferry the departed souls..." Xiang Fei recited the incantation for ferrying ghosts.
At this moment, I am under tremendous pressure. I have to protect the Yin-Yang formation from being broken and also engage in a magical battle. This is the most thrilling experience I have had in all these years.
I took out a few Taoist talismans, put my fingers together and touched them, and wrote down the Taoist incantation. Now that we have reached a critical moment, hiding anything is something only a fool would do. Now I will start to use the forbidden incantation passed down from my ancestors. This was left by my Liu family ancestor, the Yin-Yang Master, and can be said to be our family's treasure.
My grandfather often told me, "Only a Yin-Yang Master can use this." He said that using it rashly would be a taboo and could bring great disaster, ranging from minor injuries to death. But... I had no choice.
"In the beginning, there was Yin and Yang... The ultimate Dao is the form of Yin and Yang. Yin is death and Yang is life. The two laws of Yin and Yang govern all things," I shouted suddenly, throwing out a Dao talisman in my hand. Then I grabbed the 'dragon bone' on my neck, and a brilliant golden light pierced the dark night sky, striking the mysterious wizard.
They pierced right through its body, leaving a large, dark hole.
"Ah~", the mysterious wizard roared, "You are actually a descendant of the Yin-Yang Master, how hateful! You are actually a descendant of the Yin-Yang Master, I will tear you apart."
As it spoke, its body began to devour the vengeful spirits and ghosts around it, and in an instant, it repaired itself.
In a flash, he was already in front of me. The vengeful spirits that had been swallowed up by his body surged towards me like a raging flood.
Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer. I felt as if I had been hit hard, my chest tightened, and I coughed up blood.
The Yin-Yang magic array was on the verge of breaking, but fortunately, at this moment, Xiang Fei finally used the Soul-Suppressing Lamp. Holding the Soul-Suppressing Lamp in his hand, he shouted, "Under the Soul-Suppressing Lamp, I will ferry the souls of the dead across the world," and walked over step by step.
The flames of the Soul-Suppressing Lamp flickered, turning completely into a bluish-green color, growing ever stronger, as if a raging fire was about to ignite. The shadow of an old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged could be vaguely seen inside.
The vengeful spirits and ghosts around seemed to have found their nemesis, and immediately retreated. The malevolent aura also quickly disappeared, making the scene indescribably eerie and mysterious.
"Well, it's actually the Soul-Suppressing Lamp. I didn't expect you to have obtained it. It seems you have quite a background. But we should rest today and escape with our lives."
The mysterious wizard began to unleash evil magic, and the corpses that had previously surrounded him began to attack, just like puppets.
