Chapter 144 Female Ghost
“Ghost…evil ghost——!”
A terrified scream broke the silence at the moment. The frozen air seemed to move suddenly. The frightened disciples retreated in fear, wanting to stay away from the female ghost who came out of the water.
But the female ghost seemed to love seeing people screaming and running away. Her skinny, sickly white, slender fingers gently pointed in one direction, and a disciple who wanted to escape was instantly frozen into an ice cube and fell straight into the water.
Everyone was horrified and became even more panicked.
Because of the relationship with the third senior sister, Song Ziming immediately protected Jiang Liqian. Gu Chengxue subconsciously moved and flew to her side.
But Jiang Liqian's gaze quickly scanned among the disciples and immediately locked onto Qin Beiyao, who was pulling Shui Lian'er and running quickly towards safety.
Seeing that the female ghost stretched out her finger again, this time it was aimed at the two of them. When she saw their hands tightly clasped together, the female ghost tilted her head and smiled playfully.
The next second, the icy cold air attacked the two of them.
Jiang Liqian didn't even think about it. Her ghostly figure flashed and a blue light became brighter. She was already holding the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and blocking them.
"Li Qian!" Shui Lian'er shouted excitedly and wanted to come over to help, but was stopped by Qin Beiyao.
"Your cultivation is not strong enough, you will be frozen into an ice cube if you go over there. Wait here, I'll go!" Qin Beiyao stuffed his hidden life-saving talisman into her hand, then summoned his magic sword, rushed over, and together with Jiang Liqian, resisted the freezing cold.
The lake water in front of them gradually froze into thick black ice. The two men gritted their teeth and held on. The other disciples also came to their senses at this moment and came over to help.
One disciple even shouted, "It's said in 'Strange Records' that evil spirits are those with lingering resentment, born from the gathering of negative energy, bloodthirsty and brutal, drinking blood for immortality. They are creatures that cannot exist in the three realms of heaven and earth, and cannot be reborn or enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you encounter one, you must eliminate it!"
"We are the righteous disciples of the Immortal Sect. How can we be so cowardly as to allow such evil creatures to survive in this world?"
His voice was truly deafening and inspiring. The disciples who had rushed over in panic and didn't know what to do were all cheered up and calmed down. They were all young and energetic, chosen ones by heaven, and disciples of the immortal sect. After hearing this, they didn't care how scary the female ghost was. All of them took out all kinds of magical weapons and treasures and attacked the female ghost.
However, these magic weapons and spells had little effect on the female ghost. She watched with great interest as they exerted their full strength, their faces flushed and swollen. She would wait until they were completely exhausted, and then she would play with them like playing with ants.
"When I was punished to copy books, I read that evil spirits are afraid of righteous masculine things. They are most afraid of Yang entering the Yin Tang, swallowing the cold and generating fire, turning powder into powder, and being punished by heaven with nowhere to escape. Everyone, take out the magic weapons and talismans that can overcome evil and uphold good, and attack her Yin Tang acupoint!" As morale gradually declined, another disciple suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly to the people around him.
Immediately, the disciples agreed. Many of them had also seen these records, and once reminded, they all remembered them.
The disciples immediately took out talismans to ward off evil spirits, wore Buddhist beads, and some even took out statues of their ancestors and Buddhas from their storage bags. They did not focus on using the most powerful magic weapons, but instead held the most yang and brightest ones in their hands.
Those who were proficient in the five elements magic also changed their attacking magic to the fire magic that was most effective in combating evil.
Although these disciples did not have high cultivation levels, they were able to defeat the enemy and attack the weakest points of the female ghost. For a while, they were able to suppress the female ghost and beat her back step by step. Her shrill wails resounded throughout the forbidden area.
As the frontal attack on Jiang Liqian and Qin Beiyao eased, a chill flowed from their arms to their dantian.
Jiang Liqian was fine. Once her Qiankun Heart Method was activated, her Yin Qi automatically dissolves into the pure and thick thunder spiritual power. But Qin Beiyao, whose wood spiritual power likes water, and water nourishes Yin, took to his body like a fish in water once the cold air entered his body. In an instant, he lost consciousness on half of his body.
Shui Lian'er hurried forward, took out four large Bodhi beads, put one in each hand, and put them on their hands.
The faint Buddha light instantly opened a barrier, blocking the surging evil energy from outside.
"Beiyao, Beiyao, are you okay?" Seeing Qin Beiyao's pale face and stiff movements, Shui Lian'er became anxious. Without caring whether it was the right medicine or not, she took out the life-saving pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jiang Liqian wanted to stop him, but after seeing that the pills were harmless to the body, she did not try to stop him and just said, "The cold-dispelling pills will be enough. His condition is not serious."
Shui Lian'er quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and poured a handful of cold-relieving pills to Qin Beiyao.
Qin Beiyao's mouth twitched, but he still swallowed all the pills under Shui Lian'er's tearful gaze.
"You stay here to dissolve the effects of the medicine, I'll go and help." Jiang Liqian said, took out three Flame Sun Talismans, and according to her memories of her previous life, set up a small formation to protect the two of them inside.
At this moment, the female ghost was already enraged. The overwhelming smell of blood with a strong stench almost made people faint. The originally calm lake suddenly raised huge waves and pounced on the disciples who attacked her.
The blood kept dripping out of her frail body, as if it would last forever and would never stop flowing.
Her waist-length hair had transformed into vines with bared fangs and claws, following the fishy lake water and wrapping around the disciples who were struggling to resist like a poisonous snake.
Those with lower cultivation levels were directly entangled by the hair and then suddenly pulled into the lake. Those with higher cultivation levels had run out of spiritual power and were about to collapse.
The lake water, which is clearly not even ankle-deep, now seems like a dark and cold abyss that is about to swallow up all living things here.
"Damn little bug, do you still want to run away?" The female ghost opened her mouth. There was not even a tongue in the empty bloody mouth. Only the vocal cords in her throat made a hoarse and unpleasant sound, which was vague and made people dizzy and uncomfortable.
"Ghost girl, do you think we are afraid of you? The worst that can happen is death, so don't be so arrogant!" The hot-tempered disciples could not stand this evil spirit mocking them, so they ignored it and stabbed the other party's eyebrows with their swords.
But before he could get close, the surging waves slammed him into the bottom of the lake. He struggled to float up, but his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, his hands and feet were too stiff to move, and he could only watch as the lake water covered his nose, eyes, and head.
Just before he was about to suffocate, a pair of small hands as white as jade and with a little baby fat pulled him out of the lake and dragged him onto the reef.
"do not move!"
