Although the scrolling comments had warned them, Li Changsheng and Sword Come still failed to spot the enemy.
Faced with this unknown situation, the hearts of man and beast instantly began pounding wildly.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sound of their heartbeats grew increasingly distinct, and Li Changsheng and Sword Come even felt a trace of discomfort in their bodies.
"Something's wrong. Someone is playing dirty!"
Sword Come shouted, and holy light began blooming from its body.
"Ah—"
As the light bloomed, a woman's scream rang out from Li Changsheng and Sword Come.
Foul-smelling Black Qi drifted from the pores of man and beast alike.
"Whew—"
Raising his hand and wrapping a wisp of Black Qi in divine power, Li Changsheng frowned. "What is this?"
"A vicious ghost's curse!"
"A vicious ghost?"
Hearing Sword Come's answer, Li Changsheng said in confusion, "This seems to be a specialty of the Chang Sheng Epoch."
"That's right. It is a specialty of the Chang Sheng Epoch."
"Still, I never expected the vicious ghost we were facing to be this powerful. It actually dared attack us with me here."
"I don't know much about this stuff. Explain it in detail."
At that, Sword Come vigilantly scanned its surroundings. "Ghosts are formed from the resentment left behind after living beings die. They are generally divided into five grades: white, black, yellow, red, and green."
"These special beings almost have no physical form, and their methods of attack are impossible to guard against."
"Under normal circumstances, no ordinary cultivator would want to encounter such things."
"Then why doesn't the Pill Epoch have them?"
"Because the Pill Epoch does not follow the path of luck. For living beings to become ghosts after death, they not only need resentment that refuses to disperse, but also special Heavenly Dao laws."
