Everything had its natural counter. The Ogress was an exceptionally unusual Ghost Object. Without the right object to suppress it, it could not be killed...
"Poison is one way. If we wanted to kill it by force, a Taoist could cut off its head or burn it to charcoal with the Thunder Method. Neither would require cypress wood.

Zhang Yunxi was moving forward, so Luo Bin could not stop.
Soon, the three of them halted outside a room.
