Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Evil Spirit Appears in the Real World_1
Qin Sisi bit her lip and sighed slightly. When she raised her head again, her eyes were devoid of worry and hesitation, only filled with determination and bravery.
Qin Sisi blinked her twinkling eyes and asked Ye You, "What can I do to help you?"
Ye You pondered and said, "Wear the mahogany bracelet, grasp hold of the Divine Dog’s Fury, stay in a corner and don’t move, protect yourself." Compared to himself, Ye You was more worried about Qin Sisi’s safety.
Qin Sisi knew her magic strength was weak and she would only be a drag on Ye You if she insisted on joining the fray, so she obediently nodded and did as Ye You instructed, standing in a corner by the wall.
Ye You looked deeply at Qin Sisi, then raised his claws, casting a silver glow, setting up a barrier around the house. The barrier was not just to prevent disturbances, but also to keep those not involved safe. He squinted his eyes and a faint purple beam shot from his eyes onto the blood talisman on the lid of the blue and white porcelain container.
The faint red mark became lighter under the purple beam and after a moment, finally disappeared completely.
Ye You closed his eyes briefly to recall the purple beam, quietly observing the blue and white porcelain container. The blood talisman had been dispelled and the seal on the mana removed. The incredibly evil ghost was due to appear soon.
Qin Sisi was also nervously watching the blue and white porcelain container. Even under Ye You’s instruction, she dared not move her position and could only stare with wide, unblinking eyes at it.
After a while, there was no stir within the porcelain container. Ye You and Qin Sisi exchanged a puzzled look. They were certain a ghost was inside. Could there be another seal besides the blood talisman on the lid?
Ye You decided to shed any hesitation and extended his paw, opening the lid himself. He tipped the container over, pouring out its contents.
A pile of black powder formed a mound on the table. Qin Sisi had listened to Boss Zheng’s explanation and knew what the powder was. Hence, she couldn’t help but feel a chill creep up her spine.
Ye You’s claw gently flattened the mound, as if searching for something. Indeed, he found a hard object hidden in the powder. Ye You carefully picked it out from the powder and upon closer inspection, found it to be a little silver bead.
Silver is one of the seven treasures in Buddhism. It can kill bacteria and detoxify, expel ghosts and ward off evil, and it’s not expensive, so it’s widely used among the people.
Ye You stared at the little silver bead, his eyes deep. The ghost had not appeared yet; could it have something to do with this silver bead?
Suddenly, without any warning, a cold, eerie wind blew past, scattering the black powder on the table, causing it to drift in all directions.
Ye You sprang to attention, quickly pocketed the silver bead, his purple eyes sharply observing every irregularity in the strange wind.
Qin Sisi’s hair was blown into a mess. She didn’t have the time to straighten it, but held tightly onto the Divine Dog’s Fury, ready to confront the exceedingly ferocious ghost from the legends.
A burst of arrogant laughter rang out nearby. It was here! Qin Sisi and Ye You tensed up, scanning the vicinity. It sounded close, but they couldn’t see a single shadow.
The laughter was maniacal and unrestrained, causing Qin Sisi to feel as though her blood was churning, and she was barely hanging on. Suddenly, Ye You let out a loud cry that drowned out the laughter. The next second, his small body erupted with a dazzling light that shone in all directions, illuminating the hidden demons and ghosts.
The figure of a burly, dirty man with an unruly beard appeared in the room. The broadsword in his hand shimmered with a chilling light under the illumination of Ye You’s silver light. Yet, the blade was smeared with broad patches of blood. Drops of blood slid from the blade, falling "drip, drip", creating a patch of bright red bloodstain on the clean floor...
"A cat can actually pull off such a feat?" The bearded man was taken aback, but it didn’t seem to bother him much. He turned and smiled at Qin Sisi in a sinister manner,"Little girl, I regained my freedom today and I’m in a good mood. Hurry up and serve me some good food and drink. If you please me, I might spare your life."
Qin Sisi’s expression changed. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Ye You flick his paw and a silver light rapidly shot towards the bearded man.
The bearded man sensed danger and quickly dodged. Yet, his broad frame was too clumsy, and though he moved his body out of the way, his arm wasn’t so lucky. The silver light struck his arm, and the bearded man’s scream echoed through the room as half of his arm fell to the ground and vanished instantly.
The bearded man looked at his now shortened arm and flew into a rage. He howled and lifted his broadsword, hacking fiercely at Ye You.
Ye You calmly sidestepped the bearded man’s attack range, his gaze coldly observing him.
The bearded man snorted in frustration and twitched his wrist, channeling black energy into his broadsword. The originally shimmering blade quickly turned as black as ink, the bright red blood stains were no longer visible. He swung it with all his might, sending a chilly black wave mixed with a blood mist toward Ye You.
Ye You didn’t dodge this time. With a light flick of his claw, the silver light, like scattered stars, moved unhurriedly towards the bearded man’s black wave.
The black and silver light waves collided mid-air, creating a thunderous detonation. The aftermath sent ripples through the air, spreading in all directions.
Qin Sisi was affected somewhat, but the Divine Dog’s Fury blocked most of the impact. Since she was standing against the wall, she was not majorly affected.
Ye You’s body only moved slightly and he quickly regained balance, whereas the bearded man reeled back a good few steps before he stabilized himself. He spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with a "pah" sound.
Ye You gave Qin Sisi a knowing glance. Understanding his intent, she looked at the bearded man and said in a clear voice, "Give me your soul power, and I can fulfill your last wish."
The bearded man erupted into another round of maniacal laughter, his gruff voice full of malice, "Do you think it’s over? It’s still early! If you want my soul power, you have to defeat me first!"
The bearded man hoisted his broadsword before his face, sticking out his thick tongue to lick the fresh blood on the blade, appearing to enjoy the taste greatly.
Qin Sisi felt disgusted watching him and turned her face away.
With a "clang", the bearded man threw his broadsword aside, then started to chant with his eyes closed. His normally colored skin turned blacker and blacker, and the chill in the air grew denser. There was also a putrid stench that was nauseating.
A bizarre sound gradually emerged, initially inaudible but grew louder and clearer. The sound of women crying, begging, screaming, men howling, calling for help, cursing...
