Suddenly!
From the other end of the willow alley, where the ghost bride was, came layers upon layers of deafening, ear-splitting shrieks.
A wave of invisible air pressure exploded outwards, tearing the bright red sedan chair into countless fragments!
A female ghostly figure shrouded in eerie green shadows...
Appeared within everyone's line of sight!
The ghost bride was enveloped in astonishing resentment, so potent it almost solidified, affecting everything around her.
She, like the ghost groom...
Was staring intently at Fan Wu!
Her eyes, filled with deathly energy, were brimming with shock and anger, filled with chilling murderous intent!
The two most powerful vengeful spirits present, the moment Fan Wu appeared...
Both fixed their gaze on him!!
"Such dense resentment, such chilling Yin energy! What did this newlywed ghost couple experience in life? And why do they seem to hate Fellow Daoist Fan so much?"
Shen Jiyue couldn't understand it at all, resorting to wild speculation: "Could it be that they sensed Fellow Daoist Fan was helping protect the Heavenly Mechanism Coffin, and thus they've grown to hate him?"
Such a reason sounded illogical, but ghosts and spirits, after all, don't operate on logic.
Thinking about it this way...
It actually made sense!
Just as Shen Jiyue was wondering how to break the current stalemate... her pupils suddenly constricted!
Because she saw the ghost bride, radiating immense resentment, transform into a streak of red light and fly towards them!
Her speed was astonishingly fast!!!
"Not good!" Shen Jiyue's heart tightened instantly, but her hands reacted just as quickly.
She immediately prepared to meet the enemy.
But in the next moment, she realized that the attacking red-clad ghost bride wasn't coming for her.
She was coming for Fan Wu!
"Fellow Daoist Fan, be careful!"
Shen Jiyue quickly turned her head and shouted a warning.
Then she was horrified to discover that the moment the ghost bride made a move, the ghost groom at the other end of the willow alley also transformed into a strange red shadow and flew over!
The ghost groom wasn't targeting her, nor Xie Jiuyi, but Fan Wu!
The ghost groom!
The ghost bride!
They were both heading straight for Fan Wu!!
It was as if they both wanted to kill Fan Wu the instant they could.
As if they both wanted to tear Fan Wu to shreds!!
In the blink of an eye, the two strange red shadows from the left and right were rapidly closing in, already mere inches away! Fan Wu could already feel a cold, chilling Yin wind blowing against his skin.
Yet, Fan Wu, caught in a pincer attack by the two terrifying vengeful spirits, showed no panic or fear on his face, nor any intention of retreating.
His expression was calm, unhurried, as he raised both his hands.
The movements of the ghost groom and ghost bride suddenly froze!
It was seen that...
The sleeves of Fan Wu's arms were torn.
Revealing muscles as thick and robust as cast iron, like two indestructible arm shields.
The ghost bride's sharp, black fingernails had already dug into Fan Wu's arm, but for them to go any further was as difficult as climbing to heaven!
It was like trying to grip steel; her sharp, black nails were completely unable to penetrate his skin!
It was the same on the ghost groom's side.
They couldn't break through his defenses at all!
"Haven't you eaten?" Fan Wu loosened his grip, and the Demon-Slaying Sword fell.
Just as the Demon-Slaying Sword was about to hit the ground.
He ignored the vengeful spirits' sharp claws and pulled back both his arms.
The next instant!
Two punches!
Were thrown!
The fist speed, as fast as lightning, struck the air, causing the air to explode with deafening booms.
The two ferocious ghosts hadn't even reacted before they were sent flying backward like two streaks of red light, moving even faster!
Fan Wu seized the opportunity, grabbing the Demon-Slaying Sword, which hadn't yet landed, with one hand.
The scabbard slid off.
The blade was revealed!
He swung the sword fiercely in the direction the ghost bride had been sent flying!
This was another strike from a distance!
The ghost bride, still flying through the air, snapped out of its daze. It seemed to sense something, and a look of terror flashed across its ghastly pale face!
Its figure in mid-air twisted unnaturally, desperately trying to change direction.
It watched helplessly as a mass of distorted air grazed its spectral body and landed among the normal evil ghosts, who hadn't even had time to figure out what was happening!
Instantly!
It was like a bomb dropped into a pond.
Wherever that mass of distorted air passed, the evil ghosts, before they could even scream, had their souls twisted!
They were torn apart!
They turned into a large expanse of fragmented ghost bodies, tumbling and drifting through the willow alley.
This scene stunned not only the ghosts.
It stunned the humans too!
Shen Jiyue looked at her arm, which was considered quite muscular among women, then at Daoist Master Fan's bicep, which was as hard as steel.
She then turned to look at the battered ghost bride on the ground, and behind it, the evil ghosts frozen in fear.
She swallowed hard.
Shen Jiyue had seen powerful individuals in the Imperial Astronomy Bureau before. However, she had never seen a powerhouse with such formidable physical strength, and she was greatly shocked!
How had that Daoist Master Fan managed to send those two ferocious ghosts flying just now... Shen Jiyue realized she hadn't seen clearly.
The speed of his punch was too fast.
She couldn't see it at all!
"Hiss..." The ghost bride, which had landed in a sorry state, let out a pained gasp. Its chest had caved in, bearing a massive fist print.
A large amount of Yin energy seeped out from the wound. Its face was contorted in pain and malice.
Its eyes, filled with deathly stillness, remained fixed on Fan Wu.
However, this time, it wasn't as reckless. A hint of caution crept into its demeanor.
The ghost groom was also in a terrible state.
Its face bore a huge fist print, and half of its head was sunken in. Only one eye remained, filled with disbelief and hatred.
It was also staring intently at Fan Wu!
Unlike the strange shadows Fan Wu had encountered before, these two ferocious ghosts possessed a degree of sentience.
Of course, they shared similarities with the strange shadows.
That is, they held immense respect and loyalty towards that "Great Venerable"!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have harbored such hatred towards Fan Wu.
Ultimately...
They believed Fan Wu had blasphemed against the Great Venerable, touching their unpardonable sin!
Thus.
They moved again!
The ghost groom's sunken face contorted as its mouth widened immensely, and wisps of black mist drifted out, spreading forward at a steady pace.
The ghost bride's actions were identical. It also opened its mouth and spewed out wisps of black mist. However, these eerie black mists did not head towards Fan Wu.
Instead, they quickly converged in mid-air, emitting strange fluctuations.
Fan Wu's eyes narrowed.
In the next instant.
The ghost groom's body seemed to be forcefully pulled, as was the ghost bride's!
The black mist rapidly drew them together, and the two spectral figures collided in mid-air.
Instead of repelling each other, they became entangled.
They were merging!
"Dual Soul Merging?" Fan Wu didn't stop them, merely observing quietly as he murmured the name of a skill.
This was a [Skill] he had seen the two ghosts possess together previously.
Under his gaze, in the span of a single breath, the ghost groom and ghost bride had completely merged!
A completely new anomalous entity, no smaller than the strange shadow and generally humanoid in shape...
Appeared before Fan Wu!
