Chapter 29: Big-Headed Ghost, Using Magic to Fight Magic
"Young Master, being educated really makes a difference. Old Liu, I won't even know how to say such eloquent words."
Big Smart praised and hid the treasure seriously in his arms. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
In the opposite window he saw a pale face.
"Who?"
He threw the firewood in his hand towards it, but the pale face immediately disappeared. The firewood hit empty air and landed outside with two clangs.
"Could this be another ghost!"
Big Smart's scalp went numb.
Song Shi looked back and saw nothing. His expression was calm.
As someone who had been killed by the Red-dressed female ghost ten times, he was no longer afraid of such things.
"Ignore it, let's eat our dinner."
Song Shi took a spoon and began to scoop up the specially braised meat. He picked up a pork trotter with one hand and nibbled on it, not caring if there was anything outside.
Big Smart heated the fire up a little and the warmth helped calm him down a lot. Then, he picked up a braised chicken and ate it.
"Young Master, would you like some wine?"
"Yes!"
The two of them gathered in front of the stove and ate while cooking meat and drinking heavily.
Big Smart reached his limit after eating more than ten catties of meat. In the end, it was Song Shi who finished the pot of soup before touching his stomach. "Go to the government office tonight to sleep and see how many people are still alive."
"Young Master, aren't you going?"
Big Smart glanced outside with a wary expression, "It's already very unsafe here."
"I have a treasure to protect my body. It's fine. It's better if the enemy attacks. Only then will I know what's going on with them."
Song Shi said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, I'm working with the Demon Slayers to help them lure out the enemy. If you're here, the enemy might not come out easily."
"No wonder. I was wondering why Sikong Ya was willing to let me leave."
Big Smart came to a false realization and was successfully deceived by Song Shi.
"I'll walk you out."
Song Shi sent Big Smart to a crowded street before returning alone.
The originally luxurious Song Manor was now silent. The sounds of insects and birds had all disappeared.
The autumn wind swept up the fallen leaves, creating a sizzling sound as if an evil spirit was scratching the ground with its nails.
Suddenly, Song Shi felt someone standing behind him.
He turned around but saw nothing.
However, the moment he turned back, a snow-white face hung upside down in front of him, smiling strangely at him.
The head where the face was located was extremely large. It did not have a nose or a body and looked as if those had been completely sliced off by someone. At this moment, blood was still dripping out.
The sudden change gave Song Shi goosebumps all over his body and he instinctively took a step back.
"Hehe!"
The latter laughed evilly and opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth. Its mouth was split widely to the bottom of its face and expanded in a seemingly impossible manner.
"You have bad breath. How disgusting!"
Song Shi cursed. He pulled out the Iron Ring Saber he had used to practice his saber techniques during the day and was about to slash it…
Click.
As he was too close, his head got bitten off by the big mouth first.
Blood splattered everywhere and he immediately became a headless corpse that was spurting out blood.
"Ding! You have been beheaded by a Yin spirit. Fire Spiritual Energy +2!"
"You have absorbed power from death and obtained 3 Freedom Attribute Points!"
"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"
"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"
"Ding… congratulations on being killed by a new target. You meet the motivation conditions. The lottery subsystem has been activated. If you kill the target within the specified time, you will be rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."
Plop!
Song Shi's headless corpse fell to the ground and his blood dyed the ground red.
The big-headed ghost smiled proudly. Its sharp teeth crushed Song Shi's head, but before it could digest it, the head in its mouth suddenly disappeared.
The blood on the ground disappeared. With a flash of light, Song Shi's head reappeared on his body. He was lying on the ground unscathed.
The moment he resurrected, Song Shi continued to slash. He jumped up from the ground and slashed.
The big-headed ghost looked at Song Shi in shock. When the saber hit it, its body suddenly became illusory.
Song Shi's saber missed and cut off a small tree behind him.
"What? Physical attacks are ineffective!"
Song Shi was shocked.
If physical attacks were ineffective, wouldn't it be difficult for ordinary people or even martial artists to deal with this thing?
"Wah!"
With a ghostly cry, the big-headed ghost appeared in front of Song Shi.
Crack!
Just like using a switchblade, Song Shi's head was easily cut off, resulting in the same outcome.
"Ding! You have been beheaded by a Yin spirit. Fire Spiritual Power +2!"
"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 2 Freedom Attribute Points!"
…
After two consecutive deaths, Song Shi's Spiritual Energy had reached 22 points and he reached the third level of Qi Refinement.
The Spiritual Energy in his body rose to another level.
The big-headed ghost looked at Song Shi in shock, not understanding why this person could not be killed. freew ebnovel.com
Clang!
Amidst the sound of metal rings colliding, the saber light shone brightly.
The sound was made by the newly-resurrected Song Shi who continued to slash at the big-headed ghost.
"Since you can avoid physical attacks, I'll use magic to deal with magic!"
As the saber light flashed, he did not hesitate to use his Fire Spiritual Energy
The scorching Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi was mobilized by Song Shi's thoughts and surged out of his Dantian. It was released through his meridians and was injected into the Iron Ring Saber in his hand.
The big-headed ghost was attacked and used a similar method. It grinned and its head suddenly turned illusory.
At this moment, Song Shi's blade lit up. The red Fire Spiritual Energy made the blade heat up, and yang power filled the air!
With a whoosh, the saber struck something and a scream sounded out in the darkness.
"This individual is composed entirely of energy. It stands to reason that one must combat energy with energy.!"
Song Shi's gaze was sharp as he glanced at the red saber. There was a layer of black airflow on it that was quickly evaporating.
The big-headed ghost was nowhere to be seen.
"There's no notification from the system, so he's definitely not dead!"
Song Shi vigilantly assessed his surroundings and realized that he seemed to be enveloped in a black fog. He had lost contact with the outside world.
He couldn't help but recall that he felt the same feeling when he was targeted by the Red-Dressed female ghost. This was probably a special ability of ghosts.
At this moment, there was a faint movement behind him, he immediately slashed back.
The black shadow flashed, but nothing hit. Song Shi felt a pain on the back of his head. Half of his head was bitten off and his brain matter flew out.
He was dead again…
Reality was cruel. Without enough strength or ability, ordinary people would definitely die when facing such ghosts.
Not to mention a newbie like Song Shi, even Big Smart would be doomed if he encountered this thing.
"Ding! You have been beheaded by a Yin spirit. Fire Spiritual Energy +2!"
"You have absorbed power from death and obtained 1 Freedom Attribute Points!"
In the midst of the familiar notification, Song Shi recovered and took the opportunity to stab the big-headed ghost. However, the damage was still limited.
Song Shi's expression darkened slightly. As seen from how it was affected by his saber as well as the system's rewards, this ghost's level was definitely comparable to the Connate Realm. It was on the same level as the water monster in the reed, if not, even stronger.
This was because this ghost was very agile and could avoid physical attacks. Ordinary perfected Postnatal martial artists would probably die if they encountered it.
"I'll fight it for a while and die ten times first. If I still can't kill it, I'll run!"
Song Shi made up his mind and opened the system interface to take a look.

"Even after I died three times just now, in such a miserable manner too, it didn't add any Physique. This means that this ghost is not affected by a purely physical attack."
Song Shi was deep in thought. These three times had increased his Fire Spiritual Energy by a total of 6 points. His Freedom Attribute Points were also up by 6 points. Now, he had 25 Freedom Attribute Points. freew ebnov el
"Since physical attacks are ineffective and I can't react to you in time, I'll increase my Spirit this time!"
Song Shi's eyes turned cold as he transferred all his Freedom Attribute Points to his Spirit Points.
