A Soul-Devouring Gu half the size of a millstone came at me.
Snakes and insects also crawled toward me from all around with a "sizzle, sizzle."
I did not retreat at all, drawing two Evil-Suppressing Talismans.
With the power of the talismans, I forced back those snakes and insects...
At the same time, I gripped the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud tightly, intending to face the Soul-Devouring Gu head-on.
The Soul-Devouring Gu let out a "woo woo" roar. Its sharp claws stabbed straight for my chest and head, while it sprayed black Gu mist from its mouth.
I suddenly slashed forward, using my energy to blast the black mist away before flashing ahead.
A claw stabbed toward me. I twisted aside, leaped into the air, and drove the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud downward.

"Guh!"
The Soul-Devouring Gu roared. Its eight eyes rolled, its claws flailed, and its whole body trembled violently.
Huang Qi's face went pale. Seeing the Gu pinned to the ground by my sword, he shouted:
"My Gu!"
"Your Gu is gone!"
I spoke again, then yanked hard on the hilt. The Soul-Devouring Gu's head was instantly sliced apart.
Black mist surged out as the Soul-Devouring Gu struggled and let out strange "guh guh guh" cries.

He crashed to the ground with a clang, looking extremely weak...
Clearly, the death of his life-bound Gu had dealt him a tremendous blow.
I turned and glanced at Master.
