At 8:30 p.m. on the third night, I greeted my fifth grandfather and set off on my electric scooter, carrying a bag full of talismans.
In the past two days, I have drawn dozens more annihilation talismans, and spent the rest of the time cultivating the Three Pure Ones Supreme Technique.
Today is market day. If I run into Liu Xiaoyun tonight, I'll take her down immediately.
When I arrived at the traffic light intersection, it was exactly nine o'clock, and there were still some vehicles passing by at the surrounding intersections.
I went straight to the lamppost across the street. At first, I didn't find anything. I wasn't in a hurry at all. I sat on my electric bike, smoking and waiting quietly.
Time passed slowly, and by about 11:30, there were hardly any vehicles passing through the intersection.
Just then, I heard a rustling sound coming from the roadside bushes. I immediately tensed up, reached into my bag, grabbed a ghost-stopping talisman, and slowly walked over.
When I got to the bushes, I found that it was just a mouse gnawing on the weeds. I breathed a sigh of relief and stomped my foot to scare the mouse away.
Just then, I felt a cold wind blow by, as if the temperature had suddenly dropped several degrees, and goosebumps rose on my arms.
Um?
Is there a yin energy?
I looked carefully ahead, but still didn't find anything.
Suddenly, I felt something staring at me from behind. I turned around and was immediately startled to see a woman in red standing behind me.
My heart was pounding so hard I almost jumped out of my chest, and I instinctively took a step back.
The woman in red had long hair that completely covered her face, and she was wearing embroidered shoes. She stood there quietly.
I originally thought that after learning some skills, I would never be afraid of these dirty things again, until this woman in red appeared silently behind me, and I realized that I wasn't as brave as I thought.
Moreover, I feel that this dirty thing is very dangerous, extremely dangerous, seemingly even more dangerous than Fang Lei from the courier station back then.
"Are you Liu Xiaoyun?" I exclaimed, then gritted my teeth and flung the annihilation talisman in my hand over.
What I found incredible was that the woman in red neither dodged nor avoided the attack, and the annihilation talisman was stuck to her body, but it didn't kill her. It just emitted a little light and then disappeared.
My expression changed drastically instantly, and I subconsciously took two steps back. The extermination talisman had no effect whatsoever. This was the first time I had ever seen such a thing. I had thought that even the most powerful evil spirits would be afraid of the extermination talisman, but it seems I was completely wrong.
"Hehe, are you here to see me?"
Just then, I heard a clear, ethereal female voice.
I swallowed hard, pulled out the money sword and gripped it in my hand, my magic power surging as I prepared to strike at any moment.
"Are you Liu Xiaoyun? Why did you harm so many people?" I asked the woman in red warily.
"Hehe, they deserve to die?" The woman in red didn't move a step, but her body was slowly floating towards me.
"Hmph. I know a bit about your affairs, why do you have to harm innocent people?" Thinking of Ma Jiabao and her brother, a surge of anger welled up inside me, and I shouted.
"Haha, innocent?" The woman in red suddenly burst into laughter. "Then who thinks she's innocent when my husband died under mysterious circumstances?"
I was speechless for a moment. Trying to reason with a filthy thing? I must have been out of my mind.
The woman in red was getting closer and closer to me. Suddenly, I grabbed a handful of extermination talismans with my left hand and threw them at the woman's head.
However, when the annihilation talisman touched the woman in red's head, it did the same thing as before, only emitting some sparks and having no effect whatsoever.
The woman in red seemed to be angered by me; her long hair suddenly stood on end, and she stretched out her bluish-purple arm to grab me.
I also saw the woman in red's face. Her eyes were green, and her face was dark purple. The only normal thing about her was that her lips were bright red, and she had a strange and eerie smile on her lips.
A chill ran down my spine. I channeled my magic into the money sword and frantically cast a small spell, sending the money sword hurtling towards the woman in red.
The woman in red did not dodge, and the money sword struck her head, causing her to take a step back. However, the money sword did not penetrate her head, but only left a shallow mark on her forehead.
My heart sank to the bottom. My only trump card had failed. I had really overestimated myself tonight.
"Aaaaah, I'm going to kill you!"
The woman in red screamed, becoming even more terrifying.
I only saw a blur before she appeared in front of me in an instant. One of her hands had grabbed my neck and lifted me up without me even noticing.
My mouth was wide open, I couldn't breathe, and I felt a wave of dizziness.
I reached into my bag, grabbed a handful of talismans, and casually threw them at the woman in red. But it had no effect whatsoever. The woman in red still gripped my neck tightly, her face still bearing that eerie smile.
I channeled my magical power into my feet and kicked the woman in red repeatedly, but it had no effect whatsoever; she showed no sign of letting go.
Am I going to die?
I am indeed somewhat unwilling, but I don't regret it much. After learning that the deaths of Ma Jiabao and his sister were related to this woman in red, I could no longer control myself from coming to settle accounts with her.
I'm just not as skilled as them, so I have nothing to say.
Soon, the talismans in my bag were all gone. I couldn't breathe for a long time, and my head felt dizzy. I just wanted to go to sleep right now.
Just then, my hand touched a small knife in my bag, and I could clearly feel a surge of magical energy emanating from it. Without hesitation, I grabbed the knife, poured all my magical energy into it, and slashed directly at the arm in front of me.
"ah!"
I heard the woman in red let out a shrill scream, and then I felt my neck loosen, and I fell back to the ground from the air. One of the woman in red's arms also fell in front of me.
I was coughing violently, gasping for breath.
"Aaaaah, I'm going to make you die!"
The woman in red screamed, becoming even more terrifying. The sinister aura grew incredibly strong, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop to several degrees below zero.
Although I had just escaped a calamity, my heart sank to the bottom. That attack had exhausted all my magic power, and the dagger in my hand had returned to its previous ordinary state.
Just then, the woman in red floated towards me once again.
Is it destined that I cannot escape tonight?
My heart was filled with despair. Just then, I remembered that I still had a talisman, that useless, basic talisman, a ghost-summoning talisman.
Seeing that it was a basic talisman, I put it in a hidden compartment of my bag. However, there was no time to think about it. Without hesitation, I grabbed the ghost-summoning talisman and instantly stuck it to myself.
