At this moment, everyone was fighting tooth and nail.
Even Xiao Yao, who was guarding the gate at the back, had to face the continuous onslaught of ghostly attacks.
But we blocked most of the more formidable specters outside.
Thus, Xiao Yao only faced weaker evil spirits and ghost servants.
As for the house, it was entirely covered in talismans.
For a specter to enter, they would have to break through all the talismans.
Otherwise, they could only get through us and then break through Xiao Yao's defenses to harm the villagers.
The twenty-six fierce ghosts were extremely ferocious.
They dove down one by one, and a moment's carelessness could lead to injury.
The Yin-Yang Orbs spun continuously, sweeping back and forth.
Besides killing many fierce ghosts, they also shot and killed two approaching yellow-robed ghosts.
Li Chunlong's Tai Chi Mirror was no different; upon its use, it instantly killed two yellow-robed ghosts.
The main reason was that these ghosts had never seen our magical artifacts. As they swarmed us, we directly annihilated four of them.
However, even instantly killing four could not change the tide of battle.
There were simply too many specters.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty ghosts were attacking us from all directions.
Those of us like Old Mo, whose cultivation had reached the Xuan Dan realm, were relatively fine. However, Yun Long, Yun Hu, and the others could not cope.
The weakest of these yellow-robed ghosts had already reached the middle stage of the Soul Palace realm, while the strongest were at the middle stage of the Xuan Dan realm, comparable to me and Li Chunlong.
The sheer number of specters was overwhelming.
We could only continue to retreat.
I, Old Mo, Li Chunlong, and Xia Qiu Xi formed the front line.
Facing the continuous attacks of the yellow-robed ghosts, we used our artifacts and Daoist arts to form a barrier.
Although the yellow-robed ghosts were powerful, they could not directly withstand my Yin-Yang Orbs or Li Chunlong's Tai Chi Mirror.
Coupled with Xia Qiu Xi's golden sword energy and Old Mo's thunder arts for defense.
Behind us, Yun Long and Yun Hu continuously attacked with the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels.
Temporarily, we managed to stabilize the situation.
Everyone, besides using their artifacts, also threw talismans without restraint.
Incantations echoed continuously.
The sound of exploding talismans, "bang bang bang," rang out one after another.
The ghosts in front of us died one after another.
But the pressure did not decrease at all.
Furthermore, the number of specters began to increase.
If viewed from the outside, Li Da Niu's house, where we were, was surrounded by ghosts on all sides.
If not for the many talismans plastered inside the house, there would likely be many ghosts clinging to the roof.
Everyone knew that the current balance was due to the immense power of our artifacts, which made the yellow-robed fierce ghosts hesitant to unleash their full power.
But once our spiritual energy was depleted.
If there were any loopholes in the use of our artifacts, we would all be in dire straits.
"We can't hold on!"
"Old Qin, there are too many ghosts."
"Brother Qin, with my cultivation, the beam of the Tai Chi Mirror can only be used continuously for another three minutes."
"Damn it, if we die here, I'll be truly unwilling!"
"We must hold on; we still need to last at least twenty minutes!"
"..."
Everyone spoke up.
I knew that this was already a life-and-death situation.
If we didn't use our trump cards now, someone would get injured, someone would die.
It was time to use our trump cards.
I glanced at the purple bone vine on my wrist, preparing to summon the twelve demon souls.
I took a deep breath and then said:
"Don't worry, everyone, we haven't reached the end of our rope yet."
After speaking, I shook my arm.
Followed by a low roar:
"Where are the twelve demon generals?"
Upon hearing my roar, everyone turned to look at me.
Except for Old Mo and Xiao Yao, everyone else was somewhat confused.
What did that mean?
But the next second, the twelve zodiac animal heads on the purple bone vine worn on my right wrist suddenly chimed.
Immediately after, a burst of Yin-demon energy erupted.
Black mist billowed, instantly exploding from my wrist.
In an instant, everyone present showed a hint of surprise.
Such dense Yin-demon energy made them feel fear and astonishment.
"Brother Qin, what is this?"
"So, so strong Yin-demon aura?"
"Qin Ze, what is this?"
"..."
While everyone present was surprised.
Streams of black mist detached from my purple bone vine and rushed towards the horde of ghosts in the courtyard.
Not only that, but along with the twelve streams of black mist,
Roars of beasts also echoed.
Tiger roars, chicken clucks, snake hisses, dragon cries, sheep bleats, cattle moos...
The calls of twelve different beasts sounded, interweaving together.
As these sounds appeared, twelve male and female voices suddenly resonated through the small courtyard:
"Those who offend Young Master Qin shall die!"
As these words were spoken.
Phantoms of beasts appeared, rapidly solidifying and transforming into human figures amidst the ghosts.
The moment these figures appeared, there was an explosion of Yin-demon energy.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Twelve explosions erupted in front of the twelve Yin-demon figures in the small courtyard.
The surrounding fierce ghosts, evil spirits, ghost servants, and yellow-robed ghosts all let out screams and wails under this Yin-demon aura.
"Awoo!"
"Ah!"
"..."
Screams were endless, and many ghost servants and evil spirits were annihilated on the spot.
Some fierce ghosts were repelled and fell to the ground, their souls flickering, their bodies heavily injured.
Of the more than twenty yellow-robed ghosts, except for those who were fast enough to escape, five or six were injured by the Yin-demon energy explosion.
As the black mist dissipated.
Twelve male and female figures appeared before us.
They either stood on the ground or floated in the air.
Each of them blocked our path.
Facing the cold gaze of Daoist Crow on the opposite rooftop...
