"A clever tactic, what a pity..."
She raised her cheek: "The real show is just beginning!"
The real deal has appeared!
I tensed up completely, not daring to look at her at all, and turned and ran wildly in the southeast direction.
The gravel underfoot was painful, but I dared not linger for even a moment.
The gold chain had somehow reappeared around his waist.
The figure wearing a red veil was following slowly, each step feeling like it was stepping on my heartbeat.
After passing the broken walls and ruins of the ancestral hall, we finally saw the mound of earth.
The Yang Fire Basin is right there!
I rushed over and pulled back the covering weeds.
The Bagua diagram engraved on the surface of the copper basin had a dark red hue. The dried mugwort and cinnabar in the basin were mixed with black dog blood, and there were also talismans hastily written by Liu Sandao.
"Trying to run?"
A sinister female voice boomed in my ears, carrying the stench of rotting flesh.
A bluish-gray hand emerged from beneath the red veil, its nails almost brushing against the back of my neck.
I gritted my teeth, pressed my palm into the basin of yang fire, and shouted: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian!"
In an instant, the dried mugwort burst into flames.
Flames shot up three zhang high, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.
The heat wave hit me so hard I couldn't open my eyes.
The figure let out a sharp shriek, and the red veil was lifted by the shockwave, revealing a face that was half human and half ghost.
"Is that all the tricks you have?"
She grinned maliciously, and her figure suddenly transformed into black mist, emerging from the gaps in the flames.
I suddenly pulled out the gold chain from my waist and slapped her hard.
Black dog blood splattered along the chain links, scalding her body with sizzling marks.
But she let out a piercing laugh, and her figure turned into black mist and scattered.
The gold chain missed its target and instead got tangled around my wrist.
"If that's all you've got, you might as well die!"
Her voice came from all directions, and a bluish-gray ghostly hand suddenly emerged from the black mist, gripping my neck tightly.
I struggled to swing the Thunderstrike Sword, but the blade was gripped by another ghostly hand.
I was thrown heavily to the ground, a metallic taste rising in my throat.
The female ghost's black mist gradually condensed, revealing half of her rotting face beneath her red veil, and she slowly approached me.
At the critical moment, I caught a glimpse of the cinnabar talisman paper on the edge of the Yang Fire Basin, faintly visible in the firelight.
Liu Sandao's words suddenly echoed in his mind: "If you encounter a desperate situation, use blood as a catalyst!"
Without thinking twice, I bit my tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the talisman.
The originally orange-red flames instantly turned into a deep blue, transforming into a giant Bagua diagram that shot into the sky.
"ah!"
She let out a piercing scream, and countless pale arms stretched out from the black mist, reaching for my ankles.
