When Su Su’s arms hung limply at her sides, Ye Yang and I gripped our weapons simultaneously.

Su Su’s current state was the result of being completely controlled by an evil spirit.

When Su Su turned around, we might see a hideous face we had never seen before.

Ye Yang and I each took a step to the side, preparing to flank Su Su, when the weeds nearby suddenly erupted in a rustling sound.

As I glanced to the side, the weeds were cut in half as if swept by a sword aura.

In the instant the broken grass stalks flew into the air, more than a dozen women in white, holding sharp knives, appeared near us.

Su Su, who had been standing in front, also turned around at this moment and mingled with the women.

With our eyesight, Ye Yang and I couldn't tell which one was Su Su.

These were the women cursed by the mountain spirits.

When I met their eyes, I didn't find them particularly stunning.

Instead, I felt the killing intent in their upturned eyes.

More than thirty women suddenly raised their daggers at the same time and rushed towards me.

The moment I drew my saber, they all lay on the ground, moving swiftly on their hands and feet like a pack of beasts, the daggers in their hands occasionally rising upward, as if to attack, or perhaps probing.

Ye Yang and I frowned at the same time. "If you encounter a dwarf, you have to leave him a leg." What was the difference between attacking them and attacking dwarves?

Martial artists, in most cases, are unwilling to fight dwarves because it’s not honorable to win.

Rather, it’s because dwarves are too short and can flexibly attack their opponent's lower body head-on. They, on the other hand, can only bend over to fight, and with this disadvantage, they will naturally suffer a great loss.

These people moved as fast as civet cats, and once they launched an attack, we might find it difficult to resist.

Just as I was about to stand back-to-back with Ye Yang, he pushed me aside, "You go find the mountain god temple, I'll take care of this!"

I was about to speak, but Ye Yang said first, "Settle your own grudges with Wu!"

I understood what Ye Yang meant.

The agreement with the ghost god!

It must be settled by the parties themselves.

Otherwise, even if the ghost god is killed, the karma will not be severed.

I will encounter even greater dangers in the future!

I glanced at the women surrounding us, drew my saber, and walked forward. The opponents blocking my path automatically made way for me.

Wu should be waiting for me in the distance.

I hadn't walked far when I heard the sound of blades clashing behind me. When I looked back, I saw Ye Yang using his sword to defend against their daggers, only defending and not attacking.

Ye Yang dared not kill, because he couldn't tell which one was Su Su.

The ghost shadows surrounding Ye Yang showed no mercy. The cold light of the daggers was like a rainstorm, sealing off all of Ye Yang's escape routes.

From my point of view, sparks were flying everywhere in the depths of the weeds, and there were many shadows. Although Ye Yang was not at a disadvantage fighting against so many, he would eventually lose if he kept defending and not attacking.

My figure only paused for a moment when I heard Ye Yang shout two words: "Get out!"

I immediately quickened my pace, parted the weeds, and flew towards the depths of the mountain ridge. A dilapidated temple standing on a mound quickly appeared in my sight.

As I approached about ten meters in front of the temple, the temple door slowly opened before my eyes, and a faint voice came from inside the temple, "Please come in!"

I recognized that voice. It was the guy who watched me eat the Ghost King Relic outside the dilapidated temple back then.

When I slowly walked into the temple, I saw the middle-aged man sitting on the altar of the mountain god temple, looking down at my face.

He slowly said, "Ten years have passed, our grudges should be settled."

"That's exactly what I want!" I raised my saber and announced my name, "Li Po, a Two-Worlds Hall exorcist!"

The other party said, "Wu Yongsi, a ghost god!"

According to convention, after announcing their names, they should start fighting.

Wu Yongsi said, "Zhu Ziyan, do it! Kill Li Po, and I can give you what you want."

Zhu Ziyan!

I thought Zhu Ziyan had become one of those puppets, but I didn't expect her to walk out from behind Wu Yongsi.

As soon as Zhu Ziyan appeared, a burst of cold light erupted from her ten fingers.

As Zhu Ziyan flew forward, her hands changed unpredictably, and the cold, lightning-like light from her fingertips converged on me in a bizarre and unparalleled manner.

That was the first time I formally fought with Zhu Ziyan.

Before that, I had never taken Zhu Ziyan seriously.

In my opinion, what skill could someone who only used charm techniques to confuse opponents have?

But the combat power Zhu Ziyan displayed surprised me greatly – Zhu Ziyan's cultivation, measured by exorcists, was at least at the peak of the Earthly Fiend realm, or even higher.

At that time, I no longer had time to consider other things.

Just as Zhu Ziyan's hands were about to touch me, I flipped backward and jumped out of the temple door. The moment I steadied myself, I slashed into the temple with both sabers.

The two saber energies, at first glance, looked like twin dragons emerging from the sea, extremely powerful.

Zhu Ziyan, however, did not dodge and entangled with me.
