Fan Zhiyi returned to the room, quickly looked around, opened the wardrobe, put Xiaobao in, squatted down and asked, "Talisman, Xiaobao, do you have the talisman with you?"
"Yeah." Xiaobao nodded, then took out the talisman and handed it to Fan Zhiyi.
Fan Zhiyi wrapped his hand around Xiaobao's and made him hold it tightly. "Xiaobao, you must hold this talisman tightly. Hide here obediently. Don't respond to anyone calling you, not even Bingnandong and me. Got it? When the sun comes up, big brother will come find you. Be good."
He couldn't stay with Xiaobao because the female ghost's target was him. Staying with him would only put Xiaobao in danger.
Fan Zhiyi was about to close the cabinet door when he was pulled back tightly. He looked at Xiaobao.
This child didn't cry when he was alone in the haunted house, nor did he cry when he followed Fan Zhiyi in the extreme escape. But now he was crying with tears in his eyes, not saying a word, but holding Fan Zhiyi tightly.
Fan Zhiyi thought he was scared, so he squatted down, hugged him and patted his back gently to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, little treasure, don't be afraid. Brother will protect you."
"Brother, don't go." Xiaobao's voice was filled with sobs.
Fan Zhiyi felt bad after hearing this, but he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, brother will definitely come back to find you. You think nothing happened to the two of us in the haunted house, so we're definitely fine now."
Fan Zhiyi touched Xiaobao's head, suppressed his reluctance, broke free, closed the cabinet door, closed the door tightly, and ran away.
Fan Zhiyi was on the second floor. When he passed by the window in the corridor and looked outside, he saw Bing Nandong fighting with the female ghost with a sword. The sharp blades collided, making a clanging sound.
The female ghost's moves were vicious and left no room for maneuver. She was like a madman who could not be killed.
The strong wind blew the fallen leaves on the street.
Bing Nandong turned the sword in his palm, forced the female ghost against the wall, and pushed the sword hard, but it could not move forward any further.
He smelled the scent of fresh blood. Under the pale moonlight, Bing Nandong finally saw the bloodstains on the ghost girl's face and the unchewed crumbs on her teeth.
Bing Nandong frowned and thought something was wrong, but the next moment he didn't expect the female ghost to turn her arm at a strange angle and attack his neck with a kitchen knife in her hand.
Bing Nandong had no choice but to abandon her and turn to avoid her, but the female ghost folded her body. Seeing her white teeth about to bite Bing Nandong's neck, Fan Zhiyi couldn't help but sweat for her and shouted: "Get behind Bing Nandong!"
Bing Nandong immediately used his sword to block, but the female ghost bit the sword, but her bloodshot eyes moved to Fan Zhiyi, and then she threw the kitchen knife in her hand over regardless of anything.
Fan Zhiyi squatted down hurriedly, still thinking that it was a familiar move. As a result, the kitchen knife blew down the roof above. Fan Zhiyi dodged with dust and dirt and was not hit. He quickly checked his whole body and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no wounds.
With such a big commotion, who could still sleep? However, everyone in the town knew what happened in Xue's house. This was the nearest town nearby, so they all had a vague guess in their hearts and did not dare to open the door.
"Big Brother!"
Lu Changsheng and others immediately drew their swords and went forward to help.
"Fan Zhiyi!" Bing Nandong clamped his sword between the ghost girl's neck and led her back, preventing her from getting close to Fan Zhiyi. He shouted with all his might, "Hide quickly!"
He also wanted to hide, but the way downstairs was blocked by the collapse. If Fan Zhiyi wanted to go downstairs, he could only rely on the stairs on the other side of the corridor.
Where could he hide?
Fan Zhiyi had no clue what was going on. He had nowhere to hide. If he stayed here, Xiaobao and the inn's owner would be implicated. But if he left the inn, he would be a target.
"What are you making so much noise so late at night?" Zhuang Yujing pushed open the window and frowned when he saw this. He reached out to take the arrow handed to him by his men, flew out of the window and landed on the roof, then put the bow on the string.
The tip of the arrow just brushed past Bing Nandong and missed.
Bing Nandong still found time to retort during the fight: "If you can't aim, don't cause me any trouble!"
"Shut up, Master!"
It just so happened that it started to rain again. The drizzling rain slid down the ghost girl's body, mixed with bright red blood. Zhuang Yujing's expression became much more serious: "She has actually tasted human blood."
Wu Bai was blinded by the rain, so he rushed over during the fight between Lu Changsheng and Bing Nandong and asked, "Big Brother, what on earth is this?"
Bing Nandong thrust his sword behind his back and drew a thin rope from his waist. His fingertips slid across it, and a rosy light flashed.
He threw it to Lu Changsheng: "Start the formation!"
"Nan Dong, your injury..."
Bing Nandong did not hesitate and said again: "Open the formation!"
Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, wrapped the red rope around his hands, and then threw it to Wu Bai. He and Bing Nandong worked together to put it on the female ghost.
The female ghost swung the kitchen knife with great force. Even the most powerful people are afraid of madmen. Bing Nandong held Lu Changfu's head down and helped him avoid the attack.
Mr. Lu Changfu was still frightened. The kitchen knife almost cut off his head. Even the talisman he drew had little effect on the female ghost.
At this moment, one of the arrows flew through the air and hit the female ghost's head, causing her to scream in pain and her body to twist.
Zhuang Yujing was still secretly rejoicing when he saw the female ghost pull out the arrow and throw it back at him with resentment.
Zhuang Yujing took it, looked at the corroded runes on the tip of the sword, then looked at the fight below. He wiped the rain from his face and made a judgment: "Bing Nandong, don't be so stubborn! This thing is not something we can deal with. Retreat!"
Bing Nandong did not respond, but pulled the red rope from Lu Changfu's hand and pushed Lu Changfu away from the battlefield.
The rope floated in the air as if it had life. Bing Nandong grabbed it with his hand, stepped forward quickly to meet the female ghost's kitchen knife, flipped in the air, successfully put the red rope around the female ghost, and pulled hard.
As soon as Zhuang Yujing saw Bing Nandong's intention, he knew that this guy had not listened to what he said at all, and cursed loudly: "Stubborn!"
Then the broken arrow slid down from the roof and landed right in front of Bing Nandong. He thrust another new arrow into the ghost with disgust, chanting a spell.
The female ghost screamed, and the sound echoed throughout the street, eerie and terrifying.
Fan Zhiyi happened to pass by another window. He hid in the dark and took a look at the situation. He was relieved to see that the female ghost was under control. But the next second, he saw Zhuang Yujing stopped moving and lowered his hands, as if he was in a daze.
He stopped exerting force, and Bing Nandong had a much harder time. He grabbed the female ghost with one hand, squeezing her until she bled, and with the other hand he pinched a finger on Zhuang Yujing's brow. The bright yellow spiritual power emitted a dim light in the dark night and was injected into her.
As a result, the ghost gradually regained her strength, roaring and breaking free from her restraints, forcing everyone back a few steps. Bing Nandong was even more severely attacked, with blood oozing from his mouth.
