Possession by an evil ghost wasn't difficult to handle, but the possessing ghost could use this man's body to launch such nimble, rapid attacks against me. That showed this evil ghost's rank and strength were anything but weak.
At that moment, Mao Jing, Pan Ling, and Zhang Yuchen also noticed the man I had kicked back.
The baleful Yin energy around him began spreading through the water, while wisps of faint red mist seeped out beneath my Heavenly Eye.
At the sight, all our hearts skipped a beat.
Red baleful energy—this was the Yin baleful energy possessed only by Red-Robed Fierce Ghosts.

There weren't many ritual artifacts I could use right now. I only had the Snake Bone Whip and Fish Bone Sword. Talismans were useless underwater, and everything else was in the car.
Even if I had them, I couldn't
