Thunder God, Aid Me
With a loud bang, a large crater was blasted into the ground.
However, no matter how powerful the explosive was, it couldn't harm Grandfather Huang Three had burrowed underground.
Conversely, Yin Yunze encountered trouble.
Although the female ghost was instantly killed, the commotion it caused attracted the attention of all the other ghosts present.
Amidst truly ghostly wails and howls, these vengeful spirits pounced on Yin Yunze from all directions.
"So many ghosts!" Seeing so many evil spirits surrounding him, Yin Yunze felt a chill run down his spine. He then pulled out a stack of Expel Evil and Dispel Filth and said with a wry smile, "Luckily, I prepared quite a few Expel Character Talisman too—"
This time, Yin Yunze did not choose to unleash the Expel Character Talisman, but instead transformed it into a layer of light to protect his body.
While this method isn't enough to directly kill these ghosts, it's sufficient to weaken any ghosts that force their way in.
Once the ghouls are weakened, Yin Yunze's Snake Bone Whip, burning with Fox Fire, becomes the means to send them on their final journey.
However, while Yin Yunze's efficiency was certainly not slow, the number of these accomplices was still too large.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yin Yunze spared no expense, attacking the ghosts with Fox Fire by the dozen.
However, the Yin Qi gathered by the ghosts became an invisible means of weakening the Fox Fire. Moreover, even if one was Fox Fire, as long as one was not killed, one could escape the Fox Fire by shrinking into the ground.
Yin Yunze, too, could not possibly include himself in the Fox Fire's attack range.
Therefore, the effect of Fox Fire is not even as precise as that of the Snake Bone Whip, which adds fire damage.
Surrounded by these demons, Yin Yunze was inevitably attacked and bitten.
Fortunately, the protection provided by the Peace Character Talisman and the Power of Incense Offerings, as the last line of defense, was still sufficient to stop the attacks of these ghosts.
Therefore, even surrounded by the demons, Yin Yunze was able to hold on for the time being.
In return, the characters that Yin Yunze had accumulated over the past few days were quickly reduced to ashes.
In an instant, the ashes formed from these characters drifted around Yin Yunze, as if it were snowing, and quickly accumulated in a layer around Yin Yunze.
However, as time went on, Yin Yunze, who was exhausted from dealing with these vengeful spirits, inadvertently overlooked the most important person.
Or perhaps, what Yin Yunze thought was an unintentional oversight was actually another trap he had fallen into.
When Yin Yunze finally came to his senses, it was just as Grandfather Huang Three emerged from the ground and pinned Yin Yunze to the ground.
"Hahaha----" Grandfather Huang Three laughed maniacally, revealing his sharp teeth, and howled, "You stinking fox! I've finally caught you! You can't escape! Let me think, let me think! How should I kill you! Haha, bite you to death? Or tear you to pieces? Or----"
Perhaps due to excessive excitement, or because he was already mentally unstable, or perhaps driven by the animalistic instinct to toy with his prey, the crazed Grandfather Huang Three did not immediately deliver the final blow to Yin Yunze.
However, the mere pressure of those claws on Yin Yunze was enough to continuously deplete his reserves of Yin Yunze Peace Character Talisman.
At this moment, with most of his body pinned under Grandfather Huang Three's claws and only his left hand still able to move, Yin Yunze was indeed doomed.
Smelling the stench emanating from Grandfather Huang Three, Yin Yunze realized that he seemed to have truly reached the end of his road.
The Fox Fire and Expel Evil and Dispel Filth would be blocked by the black substance on Grandfather Huang Three's body, rendering them ineffective. As for the Power of Incense Offerings, as a centuries-old Land God, Grandfather Huang Three would undoubtedly possess far more Power of Incense Offerings than Yin Yunze.
The explosives that actually work can only detonate at such close range.
Whether they can kill Grandfather Huang Three is uncertain, but Zhao Wan will most likely not survive.
For a moment, Yin Yunze felt as if he had no other options.
Just as Yin Yunze was in deep trouble, he suddenly heard Zhao Wan's voice in his mind.
"Lord Yi Yun, I'm so sorry, it's all Wan'er fault for being so useless and failing to give you the opportunity to shine—"
To solidify his image, Yin Yunze naturally made many boastful claims in front of Zhao Wan. Among them, Yin Yunze used the excuse that Zhao Wan's physical condition limited Yin Yunze abilities.
Of course, Yin Yunze felt it was perfectly acceptable for him to lie to Zhao Wan in order to maintain the image of a fox spirit.
But at this moment, hearing Zhao Wan actually apologize for this lie was so jarring that Yin Yunze couldn't help but fall silent.
"Wan'er, I won't let you die!"
As he solemnly made this promise, Yin Yunze realized he had another trump card up his sleeve.
With a flick of his left hand, which was still outside, a black command flag appeared in Yin Yunze's hand.
Although Yin Yunze failed to control the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, Yin Yunze still managed to understand its underlying logic over the past few days, if it was just about triggering it.
The next moment, the accumulated Power of Incense Offerings was poured into the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag by Yin Yunze without regard to cost. At an almost frenzied speed, it eroded the Divine Sense imprint belonging to the master on the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.
The Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag seemed stunned by Yin Yunze's actions, and only after Yin Yunze poured in almost two-thirds of his Power of Incense Offerings did it begin its furious counterattack.
Upon seeing the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag begin to crackle with electric arcs, Yin Yunze did not hesitate to use the Power of Incense Offerings to strengthen his arm.
The Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag was shot into the hole in Grandfather Huang Three's chest.
"Left zero, right fire, may the Thunder God aid me!"
As a last resort, Yin Yunze, in an effort to boost his morale, disregarded whether it was appropriate or not and subconsciously shouted out a sentence.
Hearing Yin Yunze's shout, Grandfather Huang Three was also drawn to his attention. He looked down at Yin Yunze and said, "You stinky fox, what are you doing again—"
However, before he could finish speaking, a blue arc of electricity illuminated Grandfather Huang Three's chest.
When the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag began to flicker inside Grandfather Huang Three's body, the pained Grandfather Huang Three realized something was wrong.
However, what followed immediately were countless blue arcs of electricity.
Before Grandfather Huang Three could react, the blue lightning began to flash wildly inside its body.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
For a moment, Grandfather Huang Three screamed in agony from the blue electric arcs, his body convulsing uncontrollably, but he involuntarily relaxed his grip on Yin Yunze.
As for Yin Yunze, he was merely accidentally injured by the accompanying blue electric arc, and he had already used up several Peace Character Talisman.
Realizing that Grandfather Huang Three had lost control of him, Yin Yunze disregarded his image and scrambled away from Grandfather Huang Three's grasp, running quite a distance away.
Just as Yin Yunze escaped, a new wave of even more intense blue lightning ripped through Grandfather Huang Three's body, transforming into countless arcs of electricity that scattered in all directions.
At this moment, hundreds of ghouls have gathered around Grandfather Huang Three.
These vengeful spirits then became the targets of these scattered electric arcs.
In an instant, a blue ocean appeared within a ten-meter radius centered on Grandfather Huang Three.
Dense blue lightning bolts flashed and leaped incessantly within it.
With each leap, a ghoul vanishes.
The horde of ghouls that nearly engulfed Yin Yunze was now decreasing in number at an alarming rate.
The thick layer of black asphalt on Grandfather Huang Three's body was visibly fading under the blue lightning.
"This, this, is, what, what, what, what, thing----"
As the black substance on his body decreased, Grandfather Huang Three actually woke up from his previous state of ignorance and madness.
Seeing the blue lightning erupting from his body, Grandfather Huang Three didn't think much of it. He stretched out his only intact hand and prepared to take out the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.
But just as it approached the hole in the chest, Grandfather Huang Three's claws were cleaved open by the purple lightning that appeared from his chest.
The purple lightning even snapped off one of Grandfather Huang Three's sharp claws.
Although it was still unclear what exactly had happened, Grandfather Huang Three knew very well that if things continued this way, it would really die.
So, subconsciously, Grandfather Huang Three used the most basic method that all Incense God would use.
Grandfather Huang Three used all his strength to mobilize the Power of Incense Offerings, preparing to suppress the riot of the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.
Compared to the Power of Incense Offerings accumulated by Yin Yunze with only about two hundred believers in just a few months.
The Power of Incense Offerings that Grandfather Huang Three used was simply enormous.
At this critical moment of life and death, Grandfather Huang Three didn't have time to think too much in order to save his life.
The massive amount of Power of Incense Offerings accumulated over a hundred years by more than five hundred believers in Upper Creek Village were used by Grandfather Huang Three at any cost to suppress the uprising of the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.
Within Grandfather Huang Three's chest, the blue-purple lightning seemed to sense Grandfather Huang Three intention and surged even more fiercely.
