“What should I do? I can cooperate with you.”
Lu Wanqiu quickly regained her composure and said seriously.
Right now, the most important thing was to deal with the Evil Spirit; everything else had to be put aside. Since Zhao Huai was stronger than her, it was only natural to follow his lead.
“Attract her attention, and I’ll be responsible for pulling her out of the dream.” Zhao Huai explained calmly.
“Pull her out of the dream? Can that really be done?” Zhao Huai’s words were difficult for Lu Wanqiu to understand, or rather, she couldn’t even think of it.
“Trust me, there’s not much time left. This is her dream, not ours, so we’ll be greatly limited here ”
Zhao Huai could clearly feel that the surrounding forest was closing in, and the road was getting narrower and narrower. It must be the doing of the Lantern Woman.
He gradually came to understand that this so-called dream was actually an independent space.
It wasn’t that his dream had been invaded by the Lantern Woman, but he was pulled into the Lantern Woman’s dream.
“I understand.” Lu Wanqiu nodded heavily and ultimately chose to trust Zhao
Huai.
Zhao Huai held her and slowly let go of her.
Lu Wanqiu landed steadily on the ground while he stayed on the tree, waiting for the right moment.
He reminded her, “You must touch her body, or the plan will be difficult to succeed. You can attract her attention with her deceased husband. This tactic is very effective.”
Lu Wanqiu nodded to show her understanding.
As soon as the words fell, a cold, whistling wind came.
A red figure slowly appeared in the middle of the road, her hair disheveled, and the fierce red light in her eyes revealed her boundless resentment.
Looking at the red Lantern Woman, Lu Wanqiu couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat; her mood was undoubtedly tense.
After all, without cultivation, one careless mistake could lead to irreparable consequences.
“Come on! Aren’t you looking for your husband? I think he’s already dead.
What’s the use of looking?”
Lu Wanqiu provoked the Lantern Woman.
The Lantern Woman let out a sharp scream, almost piercing the ears. She couldn’t bear others humiliating her husband.
Zhao Huai covered his ears on the tree, not daring to let his guard down. His eyes were incredibly sharp, watching the Lantern Woman’s every move closely.
“Whoosh!”
In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Woman disappeared from her original spot, turned into a fishy wind, and appeared in front of Lu Wanqiu, lunging down with a claw.
Lu Wanqiu was prepared and leaned back in advance. The Lantern Woman missed.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Huai jumped down and grabbed the Lantern Woman’s pale, bloodless arm.
How could the Lantern Woman pass up the opportunity to tear a living person apart? Her hair suddenly came to life and wrapped around his body.
She also opened her bloody mouth and roared at him.
“Such great strength…”
Zhao Huai’s face turned pale, suddenly realizing his arm was about to break.
The Lantern Woman’s strength was even greater than he had imagined, and it was still increasing.
He had to hurry!
“Wake up now!”
Zhao Huai shouted at the sky.
Now, his whole body was wrapped tightly by the Lantern Woman’s hair.
In the real world.
Strands of black smoke were entwining around Zhao Huai’s forehead. He closed his eyes, his body twitched continuously, as if bound by something.
The tree branch under his buttocks made a creaking sound, and it could not bear Zhao Huai’s movement any longer.
His whole body tilted to the side and fell straight down.
Just at the moment of landing, the dream made a “crack” sound.
The endless darkness before his eyes turned into a vortex and shattered instantly.
“Where are you? I’ll come to find you.”
At the moment the dream was about to shatter, Lu Wanqiu shouted to Zhao
Huai.
“Find me near Mingyin Temple.”
Zhao Huai held tightly onto the Lantern Woman’s arm and didn’t let go.
A loud “splash” sound came.
The dream was over.
…Zhao Huai suddenly opened his eyes and leaped to his feet, grabbing the spiritual sword and feeling the surging True Vigor in his body, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had succeeded.
And at this moment, a thick black smoke like a viscous fog appeared before his eyes, and it eventually condensed into the shape of the Lantern Woman.
However, she was enraged and kept howling angrily. Zhao Huai didn’t care; instead, he sneered coldly. “Welcome to my domain.”
His tone was extremely calm, full of confidence.
The berserk Lantern Woman let out a shrill scream, lunging towards Zhao Huai.
Barely taking a step, numerous scattered thunderbolts appeared around the large tree.
Powerful spiritual qi fluctuations swept outwards.
“Boom!”
A hundred thunder talismans, including Five Elements Thunder Talisman, Slaying Thunder Talisman, and Suppression Thunder Talisman of several kinds, all erupted simultaneously, and in a flash, the entire forest was as bright as day.
“Ahh!”
Thunder magic was a formidable restraint against Evil Spirits.
Great amounts of ghostly qi from the Lantern Woman’s body dissipated, causing her to let out a miserable wail.
Zhao Huai watched coldly, his hands not stopping.
Another talisman was quickly inscribed, leaving intricate patterns on the ground that emitted a faint glow, suppressing the Evil Spirit within.
This Lantern Woman had killed many people, and she had to pay the price.
As the powerful thunder talismans suppressed her second by second, the black smoke around Lantern Woman grew weaker and weaker, gradually showing signs of dissipation.
“Husband! Why are you doing this?”
Even in such a situation, the Lantern Woman was still calling out the word
‘husband.’
The red berserk state was gradually fading, and she was back to her gentle white appearance.
As the thunder talismans finished exploding, turning into ashes and dispersing, the Lantern Woman was suppressed under the tree, struggling with her last breath.
Facing the beautiful fair-faced Lantern Woman in a white dress.
Zhao Huai held the azure spiritual sword and slowly approached her, expressionless.
“I remember… I remember now…”
The Lantern Woman lowered her head, muttering to herself like a madwoman.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but frown.
“It was me… It was me! Hahaha!”
The Lantern Woman laughed hysterically.
Hearing these words, Zhao Huai seemed to understand something, his gaze revealed a trace of pity as he said,
“Go, he will forgive you.”
Then, he raised the sword in his hand, darting it straight into the Lantern Woman’s forehead, like a Cang Long.
In the dense forest, a woman was flying on a sword, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Lu Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lingyin Temple appeared before her.
Soon, the figure of a man appeared in front of her, she leaped down and scanned around, discovering that there were no Evil Spirits, and then asked doubtfully:
“Young Master Zhao, where is that woman?”
“Destroyed. ”
Zhao Huai replied indifferently.
“Destroyed? So soon?”
Lu Wanqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Such an Evil Spirit was not something an ordinary cultivator could deal with, and it had only been a short while.
“I don’t know what happened to her, but she was filled with boundless hatred.”
Lu Wanqiu couldn’t help saying.
“It’s a harsh truth.”
Zhao Huai sighed, and by now, he had figured out what had happened at that time.
“It seems like the young master knows something?” Lu Wanqiu asked curiously.
