C38 (1/2)

At this moment, seven Hanged Ghost appeared on the branch. They were all hanging from the branch by the rope, forming a circle around the old Daoist.

The old Daoist swept the area with his gaze, then immediately grew vigilant.

All of a sudden, the seven Hanged Ghost's tongues flew out at the same time. Like frogs eating bugs, they struck the old Daoist's hands, feet, waist, neck, and other parts of his body.

The old Daoist quickly responded, and with a leap, he cut off one of the flying tongues in half. However, one person and one sword could never defeat seven Hanged Ghost.

Before the old Daoist could jump out of the encirclement, the tongues of the two Hanged Ghost wrapped around his legs. His two tongues tugged at the same time, pulling the old Daoist down from the air.

The old Daoist looked shocked.

But this wasn't the end. The other two tongues quickly flew towards the old Daoist, wrapping around his two hands!

With both his arms and legs entangled, the old Daoist was completely unable to move!

At this moment, two more tongues flew out. One wrapped around his neck and the other around his waist!

Seven Hanged Ghost's and one that did not use its tongue to wrap itself around the old Daoist. This was because his tongue had just been chopped in half by the old Daoist.

At this moment, Hanged Ghost, who had his tongue cut off, picked up a sharp wooden stick from the ground. His mouth, which was filled with blood and grime, revealed a strange smile as he slowly walked towards the old Daoist!

The battle instantly went through a tremendous change. I know that this old Daoist has already fallen into a desperate situation!

I quickly picked up the paper talisman and the Eight Trigrams Mirror and ran towards Hanged Ghost, who was holding a sharp wooden stick. I extended my hand to try and use the paper talisman on him, but I was caught off guard by him.

With one hand, the Diaoyu lifted me into the air, with the other, he pointed the sharp stick at my chest, and then stabbed me in the chest!

I turned pale with fright as I hurriedly held the Eight Trigrams Mirror in front of my chest.

At this moment, the Eight Trigrams realm suddenly shot out a beam of golden light, which landed on Hanged Ghost's body.

”Zi!”

Hanged Ghost looked like he had been burned by a hot iron. When the golden light hit his body, he immediately turned into a pile of black ashes!

That Hanged Ghost let out a blood-curdling ”Ah!” and threw me out. I was like a stone, directly smashed into the tree trunk, and with a ”Bang!”, I felt as if my waist was going to break into two. The intense pain lashed at my nerves, as if I had been whipped by a steel whip.

I was out of breath from the pain, but I still struggled to get up quickly, because then I saw the Hanged Ghost, who had his tongue cut off by the old Taoist, walking towards the old Taoist with his sharp wooden stick. At this moment, he raised the wooden stick, preparing to stab it into the old Daoist's stomach.

If he was interrupted by Hanged Ghost like this, the old Daoist would definitely turn into a mutton skewer!

I quickly picked up the Eight Trigrams Mirror and shouted, ”Stop!” He then swept the golden light from the mirror towards the bodies of the seven Hanged Ghost.

”Zi, zi, zi …”

”AHH!”

Those Hanged Ghost, who had been hit by the golden light, immediately struggled in pain, retracting their tongues from the old Daoist's body.

The old Daoist landed heavily on the ground and coughed a few times, finally catching his breath.

Without another word, he struck out like a carp and flew towards the tongue-cut Hanged Ghost like a dragon out of the sea. With one sword stroke, the Hanged Ghost was cut in half.

Before he could finish, the old Daoist turned around and attacked the other Hanged Ghost. In less than ten seconds, the seven Hanged Ghost turned into fourteen rotting corpses.

After the old Daoist finished killing the seven Hanged Ghost, he walked up to me and said, ”Quickly shine the Eight Trigrams Mirror on their bodies.”

I didn't say much and just followed the old Daoist's orders.

Under the light of the golden light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror, the seven Hanged Ghost quickly turned into sewage.

Seeing that Hanged Ghost had already been wiped out, I put away the Eight Trigrams Mirror. Wiping away the sweat on my forehead, I heaved a long sigh of relief. ”I was really lucky just now …”

However, the old Daoist suddenly raised his eyebrows and his expression became even more solemn. He said in an almost toneless voice, ”It's not over yet.”

When I heard that, I was stunned for a moment.

Looking around again, he saw that the sky had become even darker and the light even dimmer. It was as if it was night, but in reality, it was only around four-thirty in the afternoon.

The forest was completely silent, not even the sounds of birds chirping could be heard.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, making the leaves under my feet roll and rustle on the ground.
