As Ling Tian and Wang Kai opened the door to the haunted mansion, a gust of wind carrying sand and stones rushed towards them.
At the same time, several black shadows, accompanied by the strong wind, slammed directly into the two of them.
"Bang... bang..." "Awoo!"
When these black shadows collided with them, bursts of white light suddenly erupted from their bodies.
Among them, Ling Tian's body erupted with a burst of white light, and Wang Kai's body erupted with two bursts of white light, as two black shadows had hit Wang Kai.
The moment the white light burst forth, it quickly enveloped the two black shadows, and then, the white light and black shadows instantly vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared from this world.
However, the impact force generated by the collision still sent the two of them staggering back several meters, leaving them in a rather disheveled state.
Ling Tian seized the opportunity to reach out and grab Wang Kai's arm, pulling him to the side.
The strong wind continued to surge outwards from the door, and after several minutes, the wind inside finally calmed down completely.
By this time, Wang Kai was already covered in a cold sweat. He was still shaken by the events, as what had just happened was too bizarre, and he still couldn't figure out what had occurred.
"Ling Tian, what happened!"
"Brother Kai, we were attacked, fatally!"
"How is that possible? I only felt like I was hit twice..." Wang Kai found it hard to believe.
Ling Tian couldn't help but give a wry smile, "Nothing is impossible. Take a look at the three talismans I gave you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kai quickly reached into his inner pocket. He had carefully stored the three talismans Ling Tian had given him before they set out in his inner chest pocket.
However, when he took them out, he was stunned. Of the three talismans that had been stacked together, only one remained. The other two had turned to ashes!
This meant that he had indeed been attacked, and it was these two Vajra Talismans that had blocked the fatal attack for him.
"Then... then what the hell were those things!" Wang Kai asked incredulously.
Ling Tian squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Resentful spirits!"
From the moment humans gained consciousness, they began to research and ponder life and the soul.
Throughout history, there have been many theories about what the soul is.
According to the knowledge Ling Tian had learned from his masters, Daoist Master Xian Yuan believed that the soul was a special form of energy.
When a person is alive, their body forms a magnetic field that solidifies the soul within the body.
Once a person dies, this magnetic field disappears, the soul separates from the body, and then quickly dissipates into the world.
However, this soul energy is very weak, so weak that even highly sensitive electronic instruments cannot detect it.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as souls that currently possess strong obsessions. These souls carry strong negative energy.
This negative energy can even have a certain degree of influence on a person's state of mind.
Of course, if a person's state of mind is strong enough, they can easily overcome the influence of this negative energy.
There are also some heretical paths that specifically target this soul energy. Some of them use this soul energy for cultivation, while others use this soul energy to commit unlawful acts.
For example, they imprison souls with grievances in special containers, and then refine them using Yin Sha or other special methods to turn these souls into resentful spirits.
These resentful spirits have a destructive instinct towards living beings. They have no intelligence at all, and only act based on their killing instincts to destroy.
Those attacked by resentful spirits appear unharmed on the surface; their souls are what are damaged! Da Feng Novel Network
Just now, under the cover of that strong wind, three resentful spirits mixed with the wind and launched an attack on the two of them. Unexpectedly, these resentful spirits did not anticipate that these two individuals were carrying Vajra Talismans.
The Vajra Talismans are specifically designed to defend against and deal with the attacks of such evil entities. Thus, they were instantly activated, releasing a surge of positive energy that neutralized the negative energy composing the resentful spirits.
If he hadn't been protected by the Vajra Talisman, Ling Tian would not have had any major problems, as he had plenty of trump cards. However, Wang Kai could have suffered a severe injury, either becoming a vegetable or dying on the spot.
"Brother Kai, you can't go in there anymore. You only have one Vajra Talisman left. If there are many more resentful spirits inside, you won't be able to withstand them!"
"Ling Tian, I'll be careful!"
"Brother Kai, I'm not kidding you. I'm serious!"
"Ling Tian, I'm serious too!"
Ling Tian shook his head helplessly, "Look, another one is coming from over there. Try attacking it and see if you can handle it!"
Wang Kai quickly looked in the direction Ling Tian pointed. He saw a wisp of black mist drifting from the passage.
The volume of this black mist appeared to be about a size larger than an ordinary person's figure. Even before it got close, one could feel the chilling aura emanating from it.
Upon closer inspection of this mass of black mist, one could discern that within its facial area, faint outlines of features could be seen.
These were the features of a woman, but they looked so terrifying and distorted, as if she were enduring unbearable torture.
This resentful spirit was the soul of the maidservant who had died here more than ten years ago, transformed.
The resentful spirit drifted through the passage and soon sensed the presence of two living people. It then let out a roar and lunged directly at Wang Kai, who was closest to it.
As the resentful spirit was about to pounce on him, Wang Kai suddenly sidestepped and, with a swift movement, brought his Muramasa demon blade down.
The moment the demon blade struck the resentful spirit, a purple light flashed at the point of contact between the blade and the spirit.
"Hiss... Awoo..."
Another terrifying roar echoed, but this sound did not enter through their ears; it seemed to resonate directly within their minds.
This lunging resentful spirit, like a tattered sack drifting in mid-air, was directly cut in half by the Muramasa demon blade. A stream of black energy transformed into two masses of black energy, one large and one small.
The smaller mass of black energy existed for only a few seconds before dissipating into the air. The remaining larger mass of black energy tumbled in mid-air for a while before slowly reforming into a smaller resentful spirit, identical in appearance to the previous one, but two sizes smaller!
The resentful spirit roared and lunged again. Wang Kai swung his blade once more. This time, the resentful spirit seemed to be on guard and desperately dodged to the side. Wang Kai's Muramasa demon blade only managed to cut a small portion of the spirit.
As before, a purple light flashed, and the resentful spirit split into two masses of black energy, one large and one small. The smaller mass quickly dissipated.
Soon, the resentful spirit reformed, its size slightly reduced.
Seeing this, Wang Kai couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
