Seeing Xiao Yanbao relentlessly eliminating the wild ghosts, Li Muhao grew impatient and began repeating the same movements he had used to defeat the skeleton ghost. He then shouted loudly:
"Night Dance of Allure, Soul-Severing Technique!"
This time, however, the group of wild ghosts did not flee, nor did they pause at all. Instead, their eyes were bloodshot as they attacked the thin membrane of light with a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Seeing this, Li Muhao panicked and hurriedly began to recite spells and incantations on the white paper. However, because his palms were sweating, a large part of the writing on the paper was no longer legible.
Li Muhao could only skip the middle part and continue reciting the last few incantations, but all of this was still ineffective. Helpless, Li Muhao could only keep changing his posture while continuously reciting the incantations.
Fortunately, with the protective light barrier set up by Xiao Yanbao, Li Muhao had ample time to try various methods to recite different spell incantations. If he had studied this hard when he was in school, he wouldn't have been frequently beaten by his parents for his poor grades.
It seemed that Xiao Yanbao's forward movement angered the wild ghosts, who rushed to Xiao Yanbao's side with red eyes and howling. Even the skeletal female ghost, who had not shown her face for a long time, appeared near Xiao Yanbao.
Little Yanbao's small body was like a reef in the sea, and he remained calm as the wild ghosts charged at him. Soon, twenty or thirty wild ghosts were cut down by Little Yanbao's sword.
Just after Xiao Yanbao moved away from Li Muhao, a skeletal hand instantly flung all the wild ghosts surrounding Li Muhao far away. Three of the wild ghosts were even scattered by the skeletal ghost.
In an instant, all the wild ghosts stayed away from the skeletal ghost, and soon the area around Li Muhao became a vacuum zone for wild ghosts.
Seeing the reappearance of the skeletal female ghost, Li Muhao was immediately frightened. Those wild ghosts couldn't break through Xiao Yanbao's protective shield, but this one might be different.
After all, the other party had just waved his hand and sent more than a dozen wild ghosts flying, and some of them were even beaten to the point of their souls being scattered.
"I'm not afraid of you!"
As Li Muhao spoke, he secretly searched for Xiao Yanbao's figure, but when he looked up, there were only countless ghostly shadows all around, and he could no longer see Xiao Yanbao's figure.
Fortunately, the skeletal ghost did not attack Li Muhao, but quietly watched Li Muhao as he moved to the side with small steps.
"You wanted to challenge me? I'll give you a chance, go ahead and make your move!"
As soon as the skeletal ghost finished speaking, three black figures rushed towards Xiao Yanbao from the place where the wind and rain were heaviest.
"Water curtain! Seal it!"
Xiao Yanbao had been waiting for this moment. Sensing that all the hidden evil spirits had revealed themselves, Xiao Yanbao made a hand seal, and a transparent light instantly enveloped the entire Li family manor.
Even the raindrops were blocked outside, and the area around the fountain was filled with small, snake-like flashes of lightning. The two brothers standing outside the manor quickly retreated, but before they had gone more than a few steps, they found that they could no longer move.
"Don't leave yet, the show isn't over yet, why don't you watch a little longer?"
A boy's voice drifted over from above the two of them. Ye Ming was standing on the courtyard wall, holding an umbrella, his gaze fixed on their shoulders.
The two tried to speak, but found they couldn't open their mouths.
"Interesting. Could there be another evil spirit? Not bad, not bad!"
Then Ye Ming turned his gaze to Xiao Yanbao, who was fighting with three fierce ghosts. He saw Xiao Yanbao sometimes slashing the ghosts with his long sword, causing black ghost energy to emanate from it; at other times, he transformed it into a long whip and kept knocking away the whistling black shadows.
And in the intervals between repelling the evil spirits, Xiao Yanbao even had time to eliminate the wild ghosts hiding in the distance one by one.
Upon seeing this, the skeletal ghost, who had been confronting Li Muhao, immediately waved its skeletal hand and grabbed at the light barrier in front of Li Muhao.
Seeing this, Li Muhao quickly retreated, shouting incoherently as he ran away. Even Xiao Yanbao heard Li Muhao's screams.
"You have no sportsmanship! You agreed that I would attack first, why did you strike first?"
However, the skeletal ghost did not pause at all, but continued to strike Li Muhao's back.
Soon, after the skeletal ghost unleashed its full power, the protective barrier around Li Muhao became unstable and even creaked as if it were about to break.
This completely terrified Li Muhao. He didn't have time to mock the other party and ran desperately into the villa. The skeletal ghost snorted coldly, and after the ghost fire in its eye sockets flickered, it turned its head to look at Xiao Yanbao behind it.
"Ho ho!"
It's unclear how a skeleton could make such a sound, but the skeletal ghost shouted at the wild ghosts who were dodging Xiao Yanbao's attacks. Immediately, all the wild ghosts seemed to have gone mad and desperately attacked Xiao Yanbao.
Xiao Yanbao accepted all comers without hesitation. He even deliberately paused his sword, and when the wild ghosts gathered in front of him, he suddenly swung his sword forward in a sweeping motion.
After a series of ghostly wails, more than a dozen wild ghosts vanished into thin air in an instant.
Li Muhao, who was hiding in the villa and dared not come out, was extremely envious of this scene. He even struck various poses in front of the ghosts and tried to recite various incantations.
From a distance, Li Muhao looked like a cheerleader; anyone who didn't know better would think he was encouraging Xiao Yanbao to dance in the yard.
"Azure light dances like a jade dragon, golden armor sweeps across the ten directions!"
Suddenly, a golden armor appeared on Xiao Yanbao's body, and the long sword in his hand emitted specks of blue light. Then, the sword light continued to scatter in the air, and the wild ghosts quickly dissipated, and even large swaths of black ghost energy appeared in the courtyard.
Just as most of the wild ghosts were being eliminated, the skeletal ghost's full head of black hair kept flying in the air. Just as a group of ghosts rushed to Xiao Yanbao's side again.
The skeletal demon suddenly extended an arm, and then its entire body, resembling a sharp arrow, shimmered with a crystalline color like white jade, and with a whoosh, it hurtled towards Xiao Yanbao.
"careful!"
Upon seeing this, Li Muhao immediately spoke up to warn him, but the skeletal ghost was much faster than Li Muhao's voice.
"Bang!"
As the sound of the transparent shield shattering rang out, the skeletal ghost's fingertips pierced straight towards the back of Xiao Yanbao's head.
At this moment, the bones on the skeletal ghost's face began to move with a crackling sound. If she still had muscles, her face would surely be filled with joy.
However, before she could be happy for long, she heard a cracking sound. The hand that she thought would pierce Xiao Yanbao's head failed, and instead, many bone fragments fell to the ground.
Then the skeletal ghost screamed, and the other three ghosts rushed forward. The air was compressed instantly, creating a deafening sonic boom.
