C28 (1/2)

The old Daoist ignored me and walked straight into the house, then said to the empty room, ”I'll give you two choices. One, let me surpass you. ”I normally wouldn't do something like collecting ghosts that would make a person's soul perish, but if you don't know what's good for you, then I can only reluctantly accept it.”

Laughter came from the room. It was a very arrogant and vicious laughter, but it also carried a hint of sadness. ”I know you're very powerful, but I still have things to do. I definitely won't let you take me in!”

The old Daoist calmly said, ”Eh, since that's the case, there's no other way.” After saying that, he quickly bit his finger and drew an Yinyang Eight Trigrams pattern on his palm. He then chanted an incantation and sent a palm strike at the wall.

A golden Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams pattern flew to the wall, and after entering the wall, Li Youlan screamed miserably. The screams were so loud and piercing that even I felt my heart ache.

After Li Youlan was hit by the Yinyang Eight Trigrams pattern, she quickly flew out of the wall. In an instant, she disappeared again.

At this time, the four wooden chairs in the room automatically floated up into the air and flew towards the old Daoist, surrounding him.

The old Daoist glanced at the four chairs and quickly took out talisman paper from his pocket. However, before he could throw the talisman paper, the four chairs all simultaneously threw it at him from four different directions.

The old Daoist remained calm and quickly leaped into the air. He did something that was difficult for an ordinary person to do. He cleverly dodged the four chairs, and before he landed on the ground, he threw the talisman in his hand towards the four walls.

The talisman stuck firmly to the wall, just like a magnet sucking away a piece of metal.

This was not the end. The old Daoist quickly took out his copper coin sword and swung it out. A yellow light flashed by and Li Youlan heard another miserable ”Ah!”.

After Li Youlan was struck, she immediately appeared. She knew that she could not beat the old Daoist, so she wanted to escape, but just as she landed on the wall, she crashed into it with a ”bang”. She leaned against the wall, trembling as if she had been electrocuted, and then popped out of the wall.

He saw that the talisman that the old Daoist had stuck to the wall was glowing with a faint yellow light.

The talisman paper that the old Daoist seemed to have inadvertently pasted onto the wall actually had such an effect. It seemed that every step of the battle between him and Li Youlan was within his calculations.

Seeing that she had no hope of escaping, Li Youlan quickly controlled a glass bottle and sent it flying towards the old Daoist. Then she flew towards me.

Seeing this, she was stunned for a moment. What was Li Youlan trying to do?

Without waiting for me to understand, Li Youlan's claw, which was like a pair of Nine Yin White Bone Claws, grabbed my neck and lifted me up …

An intense pain immediately stimulated my nerves. At the same time, I felt like I couldn't breathe. It felt like my lungs were about to explode.

I never thought that Li Youlan would actually treat me like this …

Li Youlan turned around and held me back before blocking my entire body in front of the old Daoist. She shouted, ”Hurry and let me out, otherwise I'll kill him!”

The old Daoist calmly said, ”The door is right behind you. If you want to go out, then go out by yourself.”

Li Youlan looked behind me before grabbing me and pulling me back slowly. By now, her grip on my neck had loosened enough for me to breathe, but her long nails were digging into my flesh, and it still hurt.

Li Youlan lowered her head and whispered, ”I'm sorry.” Then she pushed me forward, then jumped back and flew through the doorway.

I thought she'd run away.

At this moment, I heard a scream from behind me.

This was Li Youlan's voice …

I turned my head to look and found that Li Youlan had bumped into a rune pattern outside the door. She struggled in pain and cried out miserably. Her entire body was being burnt by the talisman, emitting black smoke.

I walked to the old Daoist's side. I still had some lingering fear towards the scene of Li Youlan pressing on my neck and threatening the old Daoist.

”AHH!” ”Gong Nan, please save me …” Li Youlan appealed to me for help.

When I saw her pained expression, and recalled that she didn't threaten me with killing intent, but only wanted to escape, my heart softened. ”Old Daoist, how about letting her go? She didn't do anything to me, did she?”

The old Daoist bluntly said, ”No.” Then he suddenly pulled at my neck and pulled out a fingernail, which hurt so much I could die. He said, ”This ghost girl is going to strangle you to death. Look, this fingernail has already pierced into your neck. ”Are you in a trance or something? A blockhead!”

I knew that the old Daoist was doing it for my own good. I weakly said, ”Then let's go beyond her. Letting her vanish into thin air is not the best outcome.”

Li Youlan's screams kept on reverberating in my ears. No matter how she treated me before, as long as I was still human, I would be unable to bear hearing her screams.

However, the old Daoist said plainly, ”Superstition is not as simple as you think it is. She still needs your cooperation. Do you think she will cooperate with me? ”

It was at this time that Li Youlan, who was screaming miserably, pleaded, ”Master, please let me go, I'm begging you. ”Ah, it hurts!”

”No, not only is there no door, you don't even have a window.” It seemed that the old Daoist was determined to take care of Li Youlan.

The old Daoist continued, ”Now you have two choices. One is for me to surpass you, and two is for me to accept you. ”Choose.”
