Yu Daohan's expression changed. He grabbed Li Shiyao's shoulders and drew the Kanglong Halberd from his waist.
In the darkness, figures of red-clothed female ghosts surrounded them.
Yu Daohan raised the Kanglong Halberd, and flames instantly enveloped it as he swung it.
A blast of fire struck a red-clothed female ghost, and screams erupted the moment the flames made contact.
Yu Daohan took out a yellow talisman and placed it on Li Shiyao's back.
Li Shiyao stared at the scene before her in terror. Yu Daohan shouted, "Run!"
Yu Daohan pushed Li Shiyao away, urging her to escape while he held off the red-clothed female ghosts.
The number of red-clothed female ghosts grew, and Yu Daohan, his brow furrowed, took out two small flags from his waist and planted them into the earth.
Concurrently, rope-like green threads emerged from the ground, weaving together to form a green wall, blocking the path below.
Suddenly, a chilling aura swept over him.
Yu Daohan's expression shifted.
It was冥鬼 (Ming Gui)! And not just one! Eight 冥鬼 (Ming Gui)!
No, there was something even more powerful. a Ghost King! It was the Ghost King!
It would take at least an hour and a half to reach the village from here. If he ran, it would take at least twenty minutes.
This meant he had to hold them off for at least twenty minutes.
Yu Daohan did not hesitate. His left eye narrowed, and black liquid filled his entire left eye.
Flames engulfed the Kanglong Halberd, and with his other hand, he formed a hand seal, taking a deep breath.
The flames surged forth but were blocked by a 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) with one hand.
Yu Daohan continued his attack, shooting three drops of Reincarnation Blood Tears.
At the same time, he swung the Kanglong Halberd, sending a blast of fire.
The flames were shattered like ice by another 冥鬼 (Ming Gui).
Four 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) then lunged at Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan raised the Kanglong Halberd to defend himself, and with his other hand, he conjured a golden energy and struck out.
Two 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) were repelled by Yu Daohan. Before he could unleash another move, he felt a giant hand descending towards his head.
Yu Daohan twisted his head to the left. A sharp pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat, blood flowing down half his face. He touched it with his hand, only to discover his right ear was gone.
But he couldn't afford to stop the bleeding. Two drops of Reincarnation Blood Tears shot towards the two attacking 冥鬼 (Ming Gui).
Yu Daohan stumbled back two steps, still reeling, as the other four 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) charged at him again.
Yu Daohan raised the Kanglong Halberd to block one, and as he prepared to strike with his other hand, a hand already slashed towards his head.
Yu Daohan retreated backward. The sharp claws grazed his head and struck his left eye.
Yu Daohan's vision went black. Warm liquid streamed from his eye; he knew it was his own blood. His left eye was now blind.
With half his vision gone, Yu Daohan's movements slowed.
He struck out with his other hand, repelling one 冥鬼 (Ming Gui).
*Splat*
Another 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) slashed at Yu Daohan's arm. His entire arm was cleanly severed, and blood gushed out.
Yu Daohan gritted his teeth, kicked away the 冥鬼 (Ming Gui), and used the Kanglong Halberd to support himself, shouting, "Shui Kan Jing!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a faint ripple of water emerged beneath him, enveloping him.
The 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) charged forward but was repelled by the light barrier. The eight 冥鬼 (Ming Gui) repeatedly attacked in this manner.
As time ticked by, Yu Daohan's face grew increasingly grim, his breathing weakening.
Escaping was now impossible. The only thing he could do was to live a few more seconds before his inevitable death.
*Bang*
The light barrier shattered like glass. Yu Daohan closed his eyes.
Death! It was inevitable!
A giant hand pierced directly into Yu Daohan's heart.
*Splat*
The giant hand penetrated Yu Daohan's heart.
Yu Daohan slowly closed his eyes.
His life in this world had come to an end.
