Hearing the headless fierce spirit's low growl, Mo Ting and I both looked back.
The chilling and terrifying sight made Mo Ting and my hearts pound.
At this point, we dared not delay any further, and ran forward with all our might.
The headless fierce spirit behind us also began to pursue.
Its speed was very fast; not to mention that I was supporting the injured Mo Ting.
Even if I ran alone, I couldn't escape from here.
The only possibility of survival now was to lure it into the Bagua formation of the town-suppressing rope and trap it within.
"Hurry, let's lure that headless ghost into the Bagua formation."
I said in a low voice.
Mo Ting nodded, then said to me:
"Qin Ze, if we can't escape,
you abandon me and run.
I have a protective amulet; that dirty thing can't do anything to me!"
Mo Ting and I both knew how powerful the headless fierce spirit behind us was.
If I really abandoned Mo Ting and fled alone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even with a life-saving charm, whether it could truly save a life was still unknown.
Moreover, I was not so shameless as to abandon my friend and flee alone.
"Old Mo, what nonsense are you talking about? We go together or we go together."
I retorted sternly and continued to drag Mo Ting forward.
Because the old house was not far from the Bagua formation we had set up, only about twenty meters.
So before the headless ghost caught up to us, we had already reached the entrance of the Bagua formation.
Now, all we needed to do was lure the ghost into the formation.
By sealing the gap, we could trap the headless ghost.
"Old Mo, follow the plan!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the headless fierce spirit behind us had already caught up.
Seeing that we were not running, it also stopped.
The eyes on its body blinked continuously:
"What, out of strength? Not running anymore?"
After speaking, it approached us step by step.
We both retreated step by step.
The headless fierce spirit did not notice the town-suppressing ropes hidden around it at all, and thought we had lost our strength.
Watching it approach, I gripped the peach wood sword and said fiercely:
"Fiend, don't get cocky too soon.
Karma has its cycle.
If we can't deal with you, someone will eventually deal with you."
The headless fierce spirit opened the large mouth on its abdomen and laughed:
"Hahaha! The one who will deal with me hasn't been born yet!
As for the two of you, you can only become my blood food."
With that! The headless fierce spirit pounced forward fiercely.
Seeing this, Old Mo and I turned and ran back, luring it completely into the Bagua formation.
But Old Mo was a bit slower. Just as he was about to cross the town-suppressing rope and leave the Bagua formation, the headless fierce spirit grabbed his shoulder.
"Come back here!"
The headless ghost growled, dragged Old Mo back, and pulled him to the ground.
"Old Mo!"
I had already run out of the Bagua formation, but I couldn't abandon Mo Ting.
Seeing Old Mo being dragged back, I turned and slashed at it with the peach wood sword.
Seeing me slash with the sword, the headless fierce spirit did not dodge.
Instead, it met the attack with a claw.
"I'm done playing with you!"
With that, it grabbed the peach wood sword with one hand.
It ignored the sizzling sound of its hand being scorched by the yang energy of the peach wood sword.
It held on very tightly, and I couldn't pull it at all.
On the contrary, with a pull from the other side, I was thrown forward, and it grabbed my neck.
I felt its sharp nails sink into the flesh of my neck.
It was ice-cold and very painful.
Not only that, but my entire body felt drained of strength.
In this instant, I lost the ability to struggle.
Even if I wanted to recite Buddhist scriptures to see if it would repel the headless fierce spirit, I couldn't.
"Kid, let me have a bite first..."
The headless fierce spirit said ferociously and excitedly.
Before it finished speaking, it raised the three mouths on its other arm and bit down on my face.
With my neck held, I was unable to move.
I could only watch helplessly as the sharp mouths on its arm bit towards me.
My heart was filled with panic.
However, just as the three mouths on its arm were about to bite my face.
A gust of yin wind suddenly arose behind me.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The yin wind came very suddenly, without any warning.
I felt a chill on my back, as if a hand had touched my right shoulder.
In an instant, the surrounding mountains and forests rustled and the branches swayed.
The next moment, I saw the headless fierce spirit that was strangling me tremble violently and freeze on the spot.
All the eyes on its body flickered.
It looked behind me, appearing extremely terrified.
The three large mouths that were biting my face stopped their actions.
Before I could figure out what was happening.
Mo Ting, who had been pulled to the ground by the headless fierce spirit, struggled to get up.
Seeing me being strangled by the headless fierce spirit, he raised the peach wood sword and stabbed it from behind:
"Die!"
"Swish."
The peach wood sword in Mo Ting's hand pierced the headless fierce spirit's body on the spot.
The headless fierce spirit trembled all over, and the mouths on its upper body let out "Ah, ah" screams.
The hand strangling my neck instantly loosened.
The feeling of powerlessness disappeared, and my body regained its strength.
Seeing that the headless fierce spirit's abdomen was pierced, and the peach wood sword had come out of the large mouth on its stomach.
At this moment, the headless fierce spirit was shaking all over, groaning in pain...
My heart jolted, and I realized this was an opportunity.
Without the slightest hesitation, I didn't bother with why a gust of yin wind had appeared just now.
I drew out the town-suppressing talisman I carried with me.
And slapped it onto the chest of the headless fierce spirit in front of me.
"Pa!"
The talisman was slapped onto the headless fierce spirit's chest.
Before the headless fierce spirit could react.
I quickly made a sword finger seal, held it in front of my chest, and said urgently:
"Spiritual talismans repel evil, hasten as the law commands - Chi!"
