Meow!
A meow that seemed to pierce the soul made Zhang Yuan's eardrums go numb.
Then, on the rooftop, in the darkness, a black cat suddenly appeared.
The black cat had black eyes and a black tail; if it weren't for the faint moonlight and Zhang Yuan's sharp eyesight, it wouldn't have been easy to see clearly.
As the black cat appeared on the rooftop, dark clouds filled the night sky, obscuring the moonlight and darkening the entire rooftop, making it increasingly eerie.
The black cat slowly emerged from the darkness, walking with an air of indifference. What surprised Zhang Yuan even more was that, despite being a cat, it spoke human language!
"I never expected that Tongcheng University would have cultivators!"
The black cat stared at Zhang Yuan and said.
"Qianqian, come to me!"
"No, please let me go. I don't want to be manipulated anymore, and I don't want to do bad things anymore!"
The female ghost cried out that she was terrified of the black cat.
Zhang Yuan stared warily at the strange black cat that suddenly appeared on the rooftop.
What was initially thought to be a simple exorcism has now been complicated by a strange black cat of unknown origin.
Judging from the murderous aura emanating from it, its strength is probably not simple!
Zhang Yuan was also a little unsure of himself.
"Great Immortal, please save me!"
The female ghost began to beg Zhang Yuan for help.
The black cat was extremely displeased with the female ghost's actions. Its eyes glared angrily, and it shouted, "How dare you! Come to my side right now! Meow!"
Seeing that the female ghost was hiding behind Zhang Yuan and refused to come over, the black cat said to Zhang Yuan, "Young man, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
Zhang Yuan was quite displeased by that arrogant attitude.
"Were you behind the recent suicides at Tongcheng University?"
Zhang Yuan asked.
The black cat wagged its tail, circled around Zhang Yuan, and laughed like a human.
"That's right, it was me who did it, so what!"
"Why did you want to kill them?"
"Young man, you have too many questions," the black cat said, suddenly leaping up and launching a sneak attack on Zhang Yuan from behind.
"Damn, that's really insidious!"
Zhang Yuan cursed inwardly, but fortunately he was prepared and immediately cast the Mighty Golden Light Spell.
He was enveloped in a golden light, like a golden Arhat descending to earth, solemn and sacred.
As the black cat leaped up, its paws transformed into a pair of half-meter-long, menacing claws, which slashed towards Zhang Yuan like a series of curved blades.
Clang!
The black cat's sharp claws grazed Zhang Yuan's body, leaving a thin scratch on his skin!
However, the scratches were quickly repaired under the influence of true energy!
Zhang Yuan was surprised.
After Zhang Yuan's cultivation reached the Meridian Opening Realm, it was difficult for ordinary swords and knives to leave wounds on his body. This black cat casually scratched his skin, leaving a faint scratch. Although the scratch was repaired in less than a second, it still showed the black cat's strength.
The eerie black cat, having failed in its first attack, turned and leaped up again, this time its two sharp claws simultaneously stabbing at Zhang Yuan's neck and chest from different directions.
Zhang Yuan dared not be careless and used all his strength to unleash the Golden Light Mantra. His internal energy transformed into golden light that spread throughout his body, like a thin shield protecting his body and vital parts such as his neck and chest.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan also quickly threw a punch.
The golden fist, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, clashed with the black cat's transformed claws in the night sky.
The person and the cat switched places.
"Young man, you've got some skill! Even a full-force grab from me wouldn't hurt you!"
"I have no grudge against you, so why did you ambush me and try to kill me?"
Zhang Yuandao thought to himself, "As expected, it's not a good cat. What the female ghost said is probably true!"
"So what if it's true!"
"Your body is so sturdy, much more useful than mine as a cat. Why don't you give it to me, and I'll live the rest of your life for you? How about it!"
"Meow!"
\"hateful!\"
"You still want my body!"
Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
Through the exchange just now, Zhang Yuan had gained a general understanding of the black cat's strength.
If the black cat wants to kill him, then he doesn't need to be polite.
Consider this a good deed for the school, getting rid of this evil spirit. If we can't defeat it, we should run away quickly. If all else fails, we can ask for help in the Golden Classics chat group.
There are several big shots in the group whose strength and level are higher than his!
Zhang Yuan made up his mind.
I wouldn't even look down on an ordinary human's body, but your cultivator's body is far superior to this cat's. My cultivation will definitely be much more effective in the future.
As it spoke, the black cat jumped back a step, and with some kind of evil magic, the scene on the rooftop of Building 17 suddenly changed.
The deserted rooftop at night transformed into a terrifying scene of purgatory.
The rooftop was pitch black, as if it were a closed space, with hundreds of terrifying ghosts and phantoms dancing and howling in the air above it!
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death, or at least cry.
But Zhang Yuan was a cultivator, and he knew that the black cat must have used some kind of magic.
With the release of the Mighty Golden Light Mantra, Zhang Yuan's body shone with golden light once more, as if surrounded by chanting, which deterred the fierce ghosts and phantoms from approaching.
The female ghost Qianqian had already escaped to the rooftop before the black cat and Zhang Yuan started their battle. Now, her ghostly figure was floating in mid-air outside Building 17, anxiously watching Zhang Yuan and the black cat fight.
Meow~~~
With a meow, the ghostly figure bared its fangs and claws, charging recklessly at Zhang Yuan.
The golden light emanating from Zhang Yuan was formed from true qi, which had an innate restraining effect on yin entities.
The fierce ghosts and phantoms at the forefront touched the golden light surrounding Zhang Yuan and immediately let out painful howls. Some turned into green smoke, while others were burned and seriously injured.
Although the golden light could suppress the ghosts, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of them, and their relentless rush to tear at Zhang Yuan.
So Zhang Yuan swung his arms and attacked the charging ghost, smashing it to pieces with a left punch and a right punch.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when the last vengeful ghost was finally destroyed, Zhang Yuan was already panting heavily.
At this moment, a faint light appeared on the dark rooftop. Zhang Yuan saw that not far ahead, the black cat was sitting cross-legged in meditation. Zhang Yuan took a step forward, and the eerie black cat suddenly opened its eyes and opened its mouth wide!
Meow!!!
A piercing meow, like a sharp piano note, deafened Zhang Yuan and made his blood surge in his chest!
This evil cat must have practiced some kind of wicked technique to be able to harm a person's soul!
Zhang Yuan was horrified!
Suppressing the surge of hot blood in his throat, he immediately held his breath and concentrated, then muttered incantations, extending his right index finger and rapidly drawing it in the air!
As the final stroke was completed, the character "斩" (cut) appeared in the void!
After the character "斩" (cut) appeared, it automatically flew into the sky, the font rapidly enlarged, and at the same time burst out with a strong and dazzling light, illuminating the entire rooftop for a moment.
The black cat awoke with a start, its eyes wide open. It stared incredulously at the enormous "slash" character in the void, cried out in alarm, and tried to flee!
Zhang Yuan shouted, "Where do you think you're going!"
Then the character "斩" (zhǎn, meaning "slash") flew out!
The giant "Slash" character slashed towards the evil black cat at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
From the rooftop, the black cat let out a miserable scream!
Then a splatter of cat blood appeared, and a black cat tail fell off!
Zhang Yuan stared at the evil black cat whose tail had been cut off and which had disappeared into the night, and shook his head and sighed: It still managed to escape. My accuracy with the Spirit Severing Technique is still not good enough!
After the black tail fell onto the rooftop, it turned into a pool of foul-smelling pus.
The female ghost Chen Qianqian finally felt relieved and floated back to the center of the rooftop, landing next to Zhang Yuan!
Thank you, Great Immortal, for saving me! Please accept my bow!
"No need," Zhang Yuan gestured for the female ghost to get up.
It was already 3:30, and dawn would break soon.
After Zhang Yuan finished his battle with the evil black cat, he was a little tired, so he said to the female ghost, "Since we're both from Tongcheng University, it's fate. I'll recite a sutra for your salvation, so hurry up and reincarnate."
Don't let the black cat target you anymore.
The female ghost Qianqian was overjoyed upon hearing this and thanked her repeatedly.
"I, the humble ghost, have no way to repay the great kindness of the immortal. I will certainly repay you properly if I have the opportunity in the future!"
"No need!"
After saying that, Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on the rooftop, held his breath and concentrated again, and recited a passage from the Yang Shen Cultivation Notes for the female ghost Qianqian, which was used to deliver spirits.
Zhang Yuan recited the scripture very quickly. After he finished, a faint golden light appeared on the female ghost Qianqian's body. Then, the female ghost's figure disappeared from the rooftop!
Zhang Yuan got up and stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking up at the horizon where a hint of dawn was already breaking.
On the rooftop, Zeng Jingxue was still unconscious.
Zhang Yuan walked over, bent down and picked up the unconscious school beauty, slowly carried her downstairs, and then took her to the infirmary...
