Ghosts Have Feelings Too
Just as the Dwarf Ghost leaped up, a beam of black light pierced straight down at the Green-Faced Female Ghost below.
The Green-Faced Female Ghost, whose strength was clearly inferior, was extremely uncomfortable under the white light. Just as she was about to escape by riding the yin wind, the Soul-Breaking Awl that had been knocked away attacked again and pierced Green-Faced Female Ghost back.
The powerful Sha Qi emanating from the Soul-Breaking Awl surged forth like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the body of the Green-Faced Female Ghost.
"Woo!" The Green-Faced Female Ghost let out a mournful howl with an ambiguous meaning.
Just then, a talisman in Xuan Ye's hand turned into dust.
A giant sword, ten feet long, formed from spiritual energy, appeared out of Green-Faced Female Ghost and slashed down at her.
First-Tier Superior-Grade talisman, the Evil-Exorcising Talisman!
In a critical moment.
The Green-Faced Female Ghost used all her ghostly energy to condense a shield above her head.
"Boom."
The giant sword struck the shield, and the shield that the Green-Faced Female Ghost had hastily conjured was ultimately weaker. The shield only held out for a moment before shattering.
The giant sword struck the Green-Faced Female Ghost directly on the head, unleashing powerful spiritual energy that passed right through her body.
The ghostly aura emanating from the Green-Faced Female Ghost was dispersed by the spiritual power of the giant sword, and her body gradually became transparent and illusory, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
The Dwarf Ghost, who was in mid-air and about to grab the wooden fish, stopped when he saw the Green-Faced Female Ghost was injured, his eyes blazing with anger.
Five phantom figures suddenly emerged from the Dwarf Ghost's body and attacked Song Wen and his group of five.
It then turned and flew towards the Green-Faced Female Ghost, its ghostly energy surging wildly into Green-Faced Female Ghost body.
The Dwarf Ghost is healing the female ghost!
After leaving the Dwarf Ghost's body, the five illusory figures quickly transformed into five transparent blades, which arrived in front of the five people in an instant.
Song Wen couldn't sense any spiritual power, ghostly energy, or Yin Qi energy fluctuations on the blade, but it gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
What kind of attack is this?
Song Wen was greatly alarmed. Unable to grasp the situation, he could only resort to his strongest defensive measures.
While circulating the <Myriad Poisons Primordial Body>, he also fully activated the Purple Qilin Armor he wore close to his body.
A purple-gold protective shield enveloped Song Wen's entire body.
Outside the purple-gold protective shield was a Great Lu.
However...
The anticipated violent impact never materialized.
The Great Lu and the Purple Gold Shield did not stop the transparent blade in the slightest; they were pierced through directly, and the Great Lu and the Purple Gold Shield remained completely unharmed.
This is a psychological attack!
This ghostly creature actually possesses a mental attack technique that is extremely rare in the Cultivation World!
Where would a mere ghost learn that from!
The moment Song Wen had that thought, the transparent blade pierced his brow.
Instantly, a sharp pain shot through Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness, and a razor blade appeared directly within Sea of Consciousness, its extremely fierce and murderous intent seeming to turn his Sea of Consciousness upside down.
The Sea of Consciousness is the most vulnerable and important part of a cultivator, so Song Wen naturally dared not allow it to be damaged in any way.
But there's not much he can do now. He can only mobilize his mental energy to form a mental barrier in an attempt to block the blade. With his mental energy comparable to the eighth level of Qi Refinement, taking this blade shouldn't be a problem. After all, the Dwarf Ghost is splitting his mental energy to attack all five of them at the same time.
Just then, something unexpected happened to Song Wen.
A Black Hole appeared out of nowhere within the Sea of Consciousness, and the extremely sharp, transparent blade was instantly swallowed by the Black Hole and disappeared.
Song Wen was somewhat astonished as he perceived everything happening in his Sea of Consciousness.
The Black Hole in the Sea of Consciousness came quickly and went quickly, disappearing after swallowing the sharp blade.
"Where did this Black Hole come from? Could it be that my ability to devour other people's souls is due to this Black Hole in my Sea of Consciousness?"
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Song Wen's mind.
To outsiders, Song Wen appeared completely unharmed after taking the psychological attack.
Like him, Lao Chun was also uninjured.
He didn't possess any magical Law Artifact that could completely withstand the Dwarf Ghost's mental attacks; he relied on luck and ruthlessness.
He was standing very close to the Liu father and daughter.
Unlike Song Wen, who buried himself in cultivation alone without any guidance and thus lacked understanding of the methods of immortal cultivation,
After the transparent blade appeared, Lao Chun and the other three recognized it as a mental attack.
He pulled Liu Qiao to his side as a shield, and the transparent blade pierced Liu Qiao's forehead.
In an instant, blood gushed from Liu Qiao's seven orifices, and he breathed his last. His soul had been shattered by the spiritual blade.
At this moment, Liu Mu was holding his father's body and crying loudly.
They were originally ordinary Rogue Cultivator outside Heavenly Origin Market. Although Cultivation Resources were scarce and their cultivation progress was extremely slow, they still had enough to eat and drink thanks to their strength as cultivators. They were far better off than those poor mortals who struggled to make ends meet.
The father and daughter were well aware of the dangers of the Cultivation World, so they did not pursue profound cultivation or great power; they only wanted their family to live a good life.
Liu Mu was content with this life, which was peaceful and occasionally allowed him to witness novel and powerful Law Technique.
Yan Gu and his two companions suddenly appeared, disrupting their lives and forcibly abducting the father and daughter into this dangerous underground cave.
This is perhaps the cruelty of the cultivation world. Whether you strive or not, once you step into it, there will be no ordinary and peaceful life. You never know when an unexpected disaster might strike.
Lao Chun glanced at the weeping Liu Mu and casually unleashed Sha Qi.
Liu Mu collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably, his eyes bulging, immense pain engulfing his entire body, and he uttered unintelligible 'heh heh' sounds.
After a few breaths, she went downstairs to reunite with her father.
Xuan Ye and Zi Yi managed to withstand the mental blades, but their Sea of Consciousness was shaken, blood flowed from their seven orifices, their spirits became somewhat weak, and their brains throbbed with pain.
Yan Gu suffered the most; his Sea of Consciousness had already been severely injured by the Dwarf Ghost.
This attack from the Dwarf Ghost, fueled by his rage, compounded his injuries, severely damaging his Sea of Consciousness and causing him to collapse unconscious on the ground.
Song Wen had no time to care about the injuries of others. After confirming that his Sea of Consciousness was safe, he extended his spiritual power to guard against the Dwarf Ghost's next attack.
Unexpectedly, the Dwarf Ghost took the critically injured and dying Green-Faced Female Ghost away, presumably to try and save her.
Song Wen looked around.
Zi Yi and Xuan Ye were taking the time to recuperate and heal their injuries.
Lao Chun stared at Yan Gu, who was lying motionless on the ground, for a while, then looked at his beautiful senior sister, seemingly lost in thought.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, I'm leaving now," Song Wen said to Xuan Ye.
The Green-Faced Female Ghost is critically injured and on the verge of death, Dwarf Ghost has also suffered considerable losses. Now is the best time to seize the Sky Cicada Wood.
He also had a Heavenly Thunder Talisman, which could grant him immunity to the Dwarf Ghost's mental attacks. He was confident that he could seize the opportunity to take the Sky Cicada Wood.
We're not far from the pile of bones where Sky Cicada Wood is. Even without Xuan Ye's guidance, Song Wen can find the pile of bones easily.
"I'll go with you, fellow Daoist." Xuan Ye suddenly stood up.
"Why?" Song Wen asked.
"This place is not safe. The two ghosts share a very deep bond. We injured the Green-Faced Female Ghost, Dwarf Ghost has no reason to let us off easily. Whether the female ghost's injuries stabilize or she disappears altogether, the Dwarf Ghost will seek revenge on us."
"I actually feel more at ease when I'm by your side, fellow Daoist."
Xuan Ye glanced at Song Wen, Song Wen was unharmed after enduring the Dwarf Ghost's mental attack. Thinking of Song Wen's unusually wide mental detection range, Xuan Ye lowered his head, lost in thought.
