Along with the stone dragon, Shui Yanling snorted coldly and directly gathered a ball of black mist in front of her. Then, the black mist suddenly burst into flames, emitting raging black flames, and rushed towards the ghost.
"Roar!" The demon roared, and its scales suddenly contracted, transforming into a protective armor in front of it.
The silver lightning bolt struck the scales and shattered them, while the black flame bypassed the scales and spread directly onto the demon's body.
Then suddenly, black flames erupted, engulfing the ghost's entire body. No matter how the ghost struggled, the black flames did not diminish in the slightest.
The silver blade, its momentum undiminished, pierced directly through the demon's chest with a muffled thud, cleaving the demon in two.
The demon, split in two, was still not destroyed, and continued to writhe and tremble under the burning black flames.
But no matter how much the demon struggled, the flames were just ordinary maggots clinging to the bone, as if they were the karmic fire of a red lotus from hell.
The flames sizzled on the ghost's body, like roasting meat.
However, it didn't smell like roasted meat; instead, it emitted a foul stench that made people nauseous.
The ghostly figure kept wailing, but it was helpless; the black flames just wouldn't go out.
Shi Long's eyelids twitched as he looked at the ball of black flame, a chill running down his spine. He felt even more strongly that this crazy woman was not someone to mess with.
Meanwhile, Shui Yanling stood quietly to the side, watching the ghost man who had been cut in two. As it rolled on the ground and howled in agony, a cold smile crept onto her lips.
Shi Long couldn't help but shudder when he saw the cold smile on Shui Yanling's lips.
The ghostly figure's rolling movements grew smaller and smaller under the black flames, and then it simply stopped moving, as if it had died. However, Shui Yanling had no intention of putting away the black flames.
Instead, with a flick of his slender hand, another cloud of black mist drifted from his hair and was thrown directly onto the motionless ghost.
Like adding fuel to the fire, the black flames that were originally wrapped around the demon's body suddenly became even more intense, turning the two sections of the demon's body into a sea of fire.
The hissing sound grew louder, and the ghost's entire body, already blackened by the lightning, became even darker under the burning black flames.
The entire carriage was filled with a stench like that of rotting corpses, and even Shi Long and Shui Yanling covered their noses.
This black flame is Shui Yanling's trump card, and it is also related to her soul's origin. So whenever the black mist wrapped around her hair diminishes, her face becomes paler.
Once stained by this flame, it will continue to burn until the person being burned is completely reduced to ashes, as long as Shui Yanling is unwilling to take it back.
But this ghost is different. Although it seems to have been completely eliminated at this moment, we still cannot let our guard down.
Once this ghostly hand escapes and kills more people, it will slowly grow stronger, using the victims as nourishment to continuously enhance itself. Eventually, it will be virtually invincible, and all that remains is to await divine retribution.
And by then, who knows how many people will die.
Soon, the ghost was burned to a crisp, leaving only its head lying quietly on the ground. Shui Yanling and Shi Long's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
The rest of the demon's body had been burned into a pool of black liquid, which slowly boiled in the flames before finally turning into steam and disappearing.
"Cough cough" Shi Long finally relaxed completely when he saw this scene, but just as a bitter smile was about to appear on his lips, something unexpected happened.
"Be careful," Shui Yanling suddenly warned.
The ghost head suddenly emitted a mist from its head, and this mist, of unknown origin, actually suppressed the black flames.
Then it spat out countless strands of hair from its mouth, heading straight towards Shui Yanling and Shi Long.
When Shi Long saw that the ghost was still alive, he turned around sharply at Shui Yanling's reminder and saw countless strands of hair rushing straight towards him. He suddenly became angry, and then lightning suddenly erupted from his body, covering his body with a layer of lightning armor.
The hair, upon striking the layer of thunderous armor, was instantly pulverized like a moth drawn to a flame.
Shui Yanling was prepared, and the black flames on the ground suddenly rose up and burned off all the countless strands of hair.
Just then, a loud crash came. Shi Long and Shui Yanling turned around and saw that the ghost head had actually smashed a large hole in the carriage, breaking through Shi Long's seal in this place and escaping outwards.
Chapter Thirty-Seven: Taking the Opportunity to Escape
Shi Long's face darkened. The ghost head was actually feigning death, cutting off its tail to save its life, and trying to take the opportunity to escape.
Knowing the importance of this matter, Shi Long would not allow the ghost head to escape. Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and all the remaining thunder power in his body gathered in his mouth.
He roared, then suddenly opened his mouth, and a red lightning bolt shot out, flashing a red light across the night sky as it flew straight toward the ghost's head.
Shui Yanling did not sit idly by and wait for her death. The moment the red lightning flew out, she stretched out her palm and grabbed the direction in which the ghost head had fled. The black flames that had been floating on the ghost head and suppressed by the mist instantly returned and even more violently wrapped around the entire ghost head.
From the night sky, it looked like a black fireball burning fiercely, flying forward at an extremely fast speed, with a red lightning bolt chasing closely behind.
The ghost head, scorched by the suddenly reignited black flames, let out a furious roar, seemingly unwilling to accept its fate, but the red lightning behind it had already caught up.
