Then, the other men in black robes emerged from all around the courtyard and surrounded the four of us.
"I don't know what benefit you'll gain from provoking me. All I know is that you're going to die a horrible death!" Senior Jiang said coldly to the old man.
"What's more, instead of dying, you old codger are aiding and abetting evil, harming living beings. Those zombies and vengeful ghosts outside must have been cultivated by you using special methods!"
"I don't believe that so many corpses can develop into red-haired zombies, and I don't believe that so many red-clothed vengeful ghosts could just happen to be found by you all!"
"And that wandering zombie in the ancient tomb, that must have been your doing too. You hid it very well, but everything you did was in vain!"
The old man sneered, his wrinkled face filled with disdain:
"Whether it works or not, you know best."
"After all, these materials cost the lives of many of your people. I won't tell you, but I was there when your association was massacred, and I personally gouged out the eyes of one of the little kids, hahahaha!"
"That feeling, oh my, it's really... tsk tsk tsk tsk." After saying that, the old man in black robes smacked his lips.
Upon hearing the old man's words, I gripped the bronze sword in my hand tightly. He was referring to none other than Qiu Yu.
I never imagined this old guy could be so cruel. I feel like skinning him alive right now!
The master's fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking. If the other person stood in front of the master, the master would definitely give him a good beating.
Senior Jiang ignored them and with a forceful flick, the two people he was holding were thrown away like sandbags.
The old man in the black robe had a chillingly cold look in his eyes and waved his hand at us.
As if receiving a command, the numerous men in black robes rushed towards this direction in one fell swoop.
A burly man in black robes leaped into the air and punched Senior Jiang, creating a series of air bursts!
There are quite a few experts among this group. It seems that, as White Rabbit had said before, the Heaven and Earth Church has quite a few hidden talents. This has given me a good reminder.
A man who looked like a skinny monkey swung a knife at me. The knife had serrated edges, and if I had been cut, I would have bled profusely.
I took a step back, using my sword to block, and at the same time, I used both feet to deliver a side kick that struck the man squarely in the chest.
The man staggered back a few steps after I kicked him, then pulled out a black talisman from his hand and flicked it in the air!
As the talisman burned, the surrounding yin energy began to gather in this direction. When the talisman burned out, a disheveled female ghost appeared out of thin air.
I could clearly see the female ghost's pale face and her long, slender fingernails, which were as terrifying as steel needles!
It was obvious that the other party used a spirit-binding talisman, and the female ghost was imprisoned inside the talisman by the man beforehand.
"If you don't want your daughter's soul to be scattered, then kill this woman!" the man commanded the woman, his tone extremely hostile.
The female ghost hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and lunged at me.
I have no interest in mother-daughter bonds. I can't even guarantee my own life, so how can I pity others?
Without being polite, I contacted Xiao Yan directly and had flames attach to my bronze sword.
Ordinary bronze swords cannot harm ghosts, since ghosts have no physical form.
I swung my sword to meet her. This female ghost was very powerful and didn't seem like an ordinary vengeful ghost. After being burned by the flames, she was able to recover her yin energy in a short time.
Today happens to be the Ghost Festival, when the yin energy is at its peak, which is quite unfavorable for us.
My actions were almost entirely stalled by this female ghost, and the others weren't much better off either; even my master's wife had been slashed.
Four people against ten, not to mention that the other side also had a burly man who was quite capable of fighting, and that old man in black robes didn't look like a good guy either.
At the same time, I underestimated how cunning the other party was. As the female ghost pounced on me, the skinny monkey man also circled around behind me, trying to launch a sneak attack from behind.
I took out a talisman from my pocket and waved it casually. A burst of fire exploded on the female ghost's face. It was an exorcism talisman.
Almost simultaneously, I slashed at the skinny man's neck. I didn't have time to wear him down. If I continued to be restrained like this, I would get injured sooner or later. So from the very beginning, I used all my killing moves!
But the skinny man was too agile. As the sword slashed past, he bent over and leaned back, dodging my sweeping sword.
At this moment, the female ghost behind me also came to her senses and reached out to grab my back. I was jolted and my back tightened. I rolled half a meter to the side and was in a standoff with her.
Meanwhile, Senior Jiang moved with the agility of the wind, dodging an attack while simultaneously striking the burly man's chest with a backhand palm strike.
The burly man only had time to let out a muffled groan before he was sent flying by Senior Jiang's palm strike, crashing heavily to the ground.
Immediately, Senior Jiang threw several fireballs towards the direction of the black-robed men.
Senior Jiang is probably one of the few who can use fire control techniques so skillfully.
If I want to quickly defeat my opponent, the Blazing Thunder Technique is undoubtedly the fastest way, but that would greatly deplete my own vital energy.
It's not worth paying such a price against an opponent of this caliber.
These black-robed figures were exceptionally tenacious, and they used their numerical advantage to launch continuous attacks on us.
