My uncle coughed a few more times after swinging the fan.
It wasn't powerful, but it was clearly caused by the fire-controlling fan.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Uncle, is that fan consuming your vital energy?"
I asked, frowning.
Uncle, however, was unconcerned:
"Just a minor thing, it's not like I'm going to die.
Now that the female ghost is heavily injured, it's the best time to kill her.
We absolutely cannot give her a chance to breathe and recover her original energy..."
After speaking, Uncle didn't linger. Carrying his fan and broadsword, he charged towards the female ghost again.
"Old Qin!"
"Qin Ze!"
Xiao Mei and Old Mo also ran over.
I looked at them and smiled faintly:
"I'm fine, let's go kill that female ghost together!"
"Yeah, let's do it!"
Old Mo nodded firmly.
Xiao Mei let out a fox roar, her demonic energy surging.
Without further ado, the three of us followed Uncle's pace and rushed towards the female ghost.
At the same time, I beckoned again and recalled the two beads.
Without these two beads earlier, it would have been impossible to heavily injure the female ghost.
Although luck played a part, the result was that I succeeded.
I gambled with my life.
Even though I was almost burned to death by the female ghost.
But Uncle saved me...
Now, the gamble had produced an opportunity.
An opportunity for a future.
The female ghost had lost an eye, was severely burned by the gathered Yang beads, and had absorbed a lot of Yin Sha vital energy.
At this moment, she was also heavily injured by Uncle's fan.
She was already badly wounded.
This was the best chance for us to kill her...
Uncle was very fast. As soon as the female ghost got up, Uncle swung his broadsword at her.
Heavily injured, the female ghost could only raise her hand to block.
Uncle's sword repelled the female ghost.
Clearly, she wasn't as ferocious as before.
After repelling the female ghost, Uncle shouted loudly:
"Xiao Mo, get the Demon Suppressing Net."
Old Mo heard Uncle's command.
He immediately responded:
"Understood, Master!"
As he spoke, he drew a palm-sized net from the treasure pouch at his waist.
The net threads were very fine.
It was a magical artifact woven from black dog hair and hemp rope, soaked in black dog blood.
It had been used before.
When unfurled, it could just about trap a person...
At the same time, I used the Qian Kun True Art to control the Yin and Yang beads to attack the female ghost.
The two beads "swooshed" back and forth, constantly impacting.
Yin and Yang energies echoed all around.
The magical artifact was powerful, something this female ghost couldn't resist; its might was immense.
The female ghost had already suffered greatly from the two beads.
Seeing the two beads coming, she was terrified.
She dodged repeatedly.
This created more opportunities for Uncle to attack her.
Xiao Mei's mouthful of green mist further depleted the red-skinned fire ghost's Yin Sha vital energy.
With Uncle's fierce attacks and our combined efforts, we had transitioned from being passively beaten.
To actively attacking, and even suppressing the female ghost.
The female ghost roared in anger.
Her "howls" echoed through the factory.
But she couldn't do much against us, only dodging and parrying frantically.
But we would not give her any chance.
I used the Yin Yang Treasure Beads, seizing an opportunity, and struck the female ghost again from behind.
Once again hit by the Yin Yang Treasure Beads, the female ghost's injuries worsened.
Her Yin Sha power noticeably decreased by a large margin.
Uncle's assault was fierce, making it difficult for the female ghost to resist.
Now, she was cornered.
Old Mo took out the Demon Suppressing Net and finally found an opportunity, pouncing forward.
He approached the female ghost and cast the net.
The female ghost, with nowhere to advance or retreat.
Seeing the Demon Suppressing Net, she opened her mouth and spat a stream of flames, though the flames were not as vigorous as before.
She wanted to burn the Demon Suppressing Net.
But this was the Demon Suppressing Net, not ordinary silk.
Coupled with the female ghost's greatly reduced strength, her exhaled Yin fire was not as potent.
With that stream of flames, the Demon Suppressing Net only flickered and was unaffected.
In the next moment, the female ghost was ensnared.
Old Mo formed hand seals and shouted:
"收 (Shou)!"
The Demon Suppressing Net began to tighten.
Trapping the female ghost.
The female ghost struggled and roared: httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Let go of me, let go of me, you damned Taoists.
I will kill you, kill you..."
But no one cared what she was shouting.
Uncle picked up a talisman of demon eradication.
The red talisman flashed, and he slapped it onto the female ghost's chest, not her head or the ghost gate.
Clearly, he intended to keep her alive.
Trapped by the Demon Suppressing Net, the female ghost could not resist or dodge at all.
As the talisman touched her, Uncle closed his hand seals:
"Taishan Shen Jun Zhu Xie Fu; Ji Ji Ru Lü Ling, Chi!"
The red talisman's light flashed.
With a "bang," a powerful talismanic force exploded.
The female ghost within the Demon Suppressing Net let out a piercing scream under the talisman's power.
"Ah..."
Her cry was as pathetic as could be.
But none of us felt pity; instead, we were surprised and excited.
After the talisman, the female ghost could no longer stand and fell to the ground.
Her body trembled, flickering in and out of sight.
Clearly, the female ghost had only one breath left.
Everyone could no longer hide their joy.
Old Mo smiled:
"We finally got this female ghost! Old Qin, you're safe now."
After speaking, he patted my shoulder.
Xiao Mei remained silent but vigilant.
Uncle, however, handed his broadsword to me:
"Little Qin, this is the karma left by your master. End it!"
I didn't say anything superfluous.
I bowed respectfully to Uncle. Without Uncle, we might not have been able to defeat the red-skinned fire ghost.
Now, besides gratitude, I was also excited:
"Yes, Uncle!"
With that, I took his broadsword from Uncle.
Everyone looked at me.
Including the female ghost, she also looked at me.
Her eyes were filled with malice, and her face was etched with unwillingness and hatred.
I didn't know what she had gone through in her life.
Why she had so much resentment that she became a red-skinned fire ghost.
But what I knew clearly was that since she had become a ferocious ghost and was causing trouble here.
Then, as a Bai Pai Taoist, I could only kill you and, at the same time, increase my lifespan.
The female ghost seemed to sense her impending death.
At this moment, she stopped shouting.
Instead, she glared at me and let out a furious roar:
"Ah ooooh..."
She stared at me, roaring like a madwoman through the Demon Suppressing Net.
Her voice was loud, as if all her resentment was directed at me.
The sound tore through the night, echoing through the factory, and even further...
I looked at her coldly; I am the blade, you are the fish.
Raising the broadsword in my hand, without any hesitation or mercy.
I swung it fiercely towards the female ghost's head.
With a "bang," smoke billowed.
That piercing roar, abruptly stopped...
