Zhou Fu swung the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword and struck heavily again. Liu Shuying retreated, and Zhou Fu immediately took out two yellow talismans and shot them out.
Hit by the two yellow talismans, Liu Shuying's ghostly energy began to leak out, transforming into a stream of ghostly energy and fleeing.
Seeing Liu Shuying trying to escape, Zhou Fu gripped the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword and pursued her.
In the main hall, Lü Zhuo was overjoyed to see Zhou Fu beating Liu Shuying into repeated retreats. His life was finally safe.
Just as Lü Zhuo was about to get up and close the door, Liu Shuying reappeared at the entrance.
Lü Zhuo shivered and collapsed onto the ground. Liu Shuying had deliberately lured Zhou Fu away.
Liu Shuying then drifted slowly towards Lü Zhuo.
Lü Zhuo scrambled on his hands and knees towards the main hall, shouting, "Dad, save me! Dad, save me!"
But no matter how much Lü Zhuo shouted, Lü Xue and Li Fengxiang inside the house acted as if they couldn't hear, showing no reaction.
Liu Shuying arrived in front of Lü Zhuo, and yellow liquid uncontrollably streamed from between his legs.
"You promised me you'd give me your life. How can you go back on your word?"
Liu Shuying's cold voice came from her bloody mouth. She extended her sharp claws, preparing to stab into Lü Zhuo's chest.
"Little girl, is that all?"
Suddenly, a voice echoed from the main hall.
Liu Shuying paused, looked towards the main hall, and felt a powerful pressure emanating from within.
Liu Shuying retreated a few steps, sensing that this pressure was beyond her ability to contend with.
Lü Zhuo turned his head towards the main hall and saw a tall, imposing figure standing at the entrance of the hall, though he didn't know when it had appeared.
Liu Shuying looked at the suddenly appearing figure, ghostly energy swirling around her body, her ghostly horns exceptionally conspicuous.
These were characteristics of a Ghost King.
Liu Shuying instinctively wanted to flee, realizing she was no match for this being.
"We are both evil spirits, why are you helping humans?" Liu Shuying asked, seemingly looking for an opportunity to kill Lü Zhuo.
Master Rui shook his head. "I'm not trying to help this brat. I don't care about his life or death in the future, but you are not allowed to kill this boy tonight."
Liu Shuying could guess that this Ghost King had been summoned by the two Taoist priests who had arrived today.
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Liu Shuying extended her sharp claws and lunged fiercely at Lü Zhuo.
Lü Zhuo closed his eyes in fear, covering his head.
Master Rui, seeing Liu Shuying still intending to attack, snorted, "Stubborn fool."
Just as Liu Shuying's claws were half a meter away from Lü Zhuo, Master Rui appeared in front of Lü Zhuo and punched Liu Shuying with a clenched fist.
The powerful ghostly energy directly sent Liu Shuying flying backward.
Liu Shuying got up, her ghostly energy uncontrollably leaking out, making her somewhat transparent. She glared fiercely at Master Rui.
Master Rui sighed and shook his head. "You and I are both evil spirits, but unfortunately, our positions are different now. You can't withstand even three of my punches. It's still not too late to leave."
Liu Shuying knew it was impossible to kill Lü Zhuo tonight and decided to make a long-term plan. She turned to escape.
As Liu Shuying turned, she ran into Zhou Fu, who had realized it was a diversion and had rushed back.
The man and the ghost locked eyes. Zhou Fu gripped the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword and attacked first. "Trying to escape? Evil spirit, pay with your life!"
Liu Shuying dodged the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword swung by Zhou Fu and fled quickly outside.
Seeing this, Zhou Fu stepped forward to pursue. If he didn't deal with this evil spirit today, it would be difficult to catch her next time.
Meanwhile, Yu Daohan, seeing that enough time had passed, slowly walked towards Lü Xue's house.
When Yu Daohan arrived at Lü Xue's house, he saw Lü Zhuo, who had changed his pants, sitting on the sofa, looking shaken.
Seeing that Zhou Fu was not there, Yu Daohan guessed that the brat had gone chasing the female ghost.
"Master Yu, you're finally here! Liu Shuying almost killed me," Lü Zhuo said excitedly upon seeing Yu Daohan return.
Yu Daohan rolled his eyes. How could this guy be so timid? He had deliberately placed the jade pendant on the sofa when he first arrived.
Yu Daohan patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, we are professionals. If we can't protect you, we will return your money. We won't keep a single cent."
Lü Zhuo still felt scared recalling the scene just now. Besides, it wasn't about money; it was about whether he could survive.
Yu Daohan looked at the jade pendant on the sofa. "Master Rui, I trouble you."
Master Rui inside the jade pendant grunted. "That brat went chasing the female ghost. If he were still at Lü Xue's house, he might be able to defeat her. But if he goes into the forest, his foolish appearance might get him killed by the female ghost."
Yu Daohan nodded in agreement. He thought Zhou Fu looked rather dim-witted usually. If they were in the forest, it was hard to say who would win.
"Then I'll trouble Master Rui to continue protecting Lü Zhuo. I'll go check on that brat Zhou Fu," Yu Daohan said.
Master Rui inside the jade pendant grunted, and Yu Daohan walked towards the forest behind the mountain.
Since having Master Rui as a bodyguard, Yu Daohan had found things much more convenient.
In the forest at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Fu was cautiously looking around.
In the dark forest, only the faint moonlight shone through, creating a desolate scene.
"Brat, I'm here."
Liu Shuying's voice came from a corner of the forest.
Zhou Fu immediately took out a yellow talisman and shot it out.
Bang!
The yellow talisman hit a tree and exploded.
Zhou Fu inwardly cursed his bad luck. The forest was the domain of ghosts, and he had no idea which direction the evil spirit was in.
