Chapter Thirty-Three: The Angry Old Daoist

  With a loud shout from the old Taoist, a thick black smoke burst out of the small porcelain bottle with a "huff" sound. After this black smoke emerged, it was about the size of a square meter or so, floating in mid-air.

  Then, that cluster of black smoke suddenly converged in the middle, condensing into a tall, green-faced, fang-toothed old ghost floating in mid-air.

  This old ghost looks much more formidable than that Ling Ghost, which was just a shadow, while this one has already condensed into a clear shape and is about to materialize.

  "Ghost General!" The words suddenly popped into Ye Nan's mind, and he was frightened out of his wits. He thought to himself: "Damn it! I didn't expect this old Daoist to be so formidable, hiding such a powerful being. It's just like that little Daoist in my dream who encountered the Ghost King!"

  It seems that this old Taoist is really determined to fight to the end, Ye Nan gritted his teeth and quickly took out a few broken evil talismans from his pocket, preparing for battle!

  That old ghost cast a slanted glance at Ye Nan, but floated in mid-air, unmoving and majestic. He turned his head to look at the old Taoist, sneering with a sinister laugh: "You little brat, you brought me out just to deal with this little kid?"

  "Little kid?" Ye Nan looked at the old Taoist's somewhat graying hair and almost burst out laughing!

  "This is too ridiculous! At his age, he's still being called a young lad! Haha... The absurdity of it all almost made Ye Nan forget how tense he was!"

  Lao Dao's face turned red with shame as soon as he heard these words. He had originally relied on his master's help and used all his might to subdue this fast-rising ghost general. Although the ghost general obeyed his commands under the control of the talisman, it was always unwilling and resentful!

  "This is getting out of hand, and yet I'm still being ridiculed by this demon in front of everyone. My old face turned red with shame and anger as I shouted: 'Aren't you going to take care of that little brat? Do you want me to suffer the torments of hell again?'"

  When the old Taoist uttered the two words "soul refining", the old ghost's expression changed, revealing a hint of fear in his eyes. He quickly cleared his throat and shouted: "You little brat opposite me, hurry up and take your own life! I'll let your soul escape, otherwise I'll make you lose your soul!"

  Ye Nan was confused by the old Dao and the ghost general, it seemed that although the ghost general was under the control of the old Dao, he was unwilling. However, although the ghost general was unwilling, this fight might be unavoidable!

  But this ghost is quite formidable, and now I only have the "Break Evil Symbol" in my hand, but not a higher-level "Break Magic Symbol". The little Taoist priest in my dream was able to eliminate the Ghost King with the Break Magic Symbol. This one may be just a Ghost General, but it's not much different from the Ghost King. Relying solely on the Break Evil Symbol might only be able to injure him, and I'm afraid these eight Break Evil Symbols alone won't necessarily be enough to take care of him!

  Ye Nan's head was aching, and it seemed that the only way out was to make a desperate move! As he thought about it, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He remembered that the Ghost Control Technique was also mentioned on the Soul Recording Scroll he had picked up from Hu Sanlao.

  It seems that this ghost will be controlled by the old Dao, although reluctantly, can only work for him. If you can get rid of the old Dao, I'm afraid this ghost will immediately turn against him, and everything will be fine without having to take action himself!

  Thinking of this, Ye Nan immediately looked at the ghost general and smiled: "Now everyone is reluctant to die in this three-foot red dust, no one wants to let go, it's impossible for me to end my life, unless I kill that old Daoist, it seems we still have to fight!"

  That ghost saw the inexplicable smile in Ye Nan's eyes, and his heart was stunned for a moment. However, as an old ghost who had been around for many years, he knew what kind of trick this kid was playing just by looking at his eyes.

  However, he didn't take Ye Nan seriously either, who hadn't even reached the stage of Spiritual Liquid. Looking at this kid with a mischievous grin on his face, he thought to himself that he would just watch and see what he wanted to do.

  Anyway, being cooped up in that small pot every day is suffocating. It's great to finally come out and get some fresh air. Anyway, as long as the old master doesn't rush me, I'll just take my time and drag things out!

  Ye Nan saw that the ghost was staring at him without making a move immediately, and his heart was delighted. He thought to himself: "This old ghost is not stupid after all!"

  Hurry up and hold the paper symbol tightly in your hand, pinch a sword key with your left hand, slowly pace forward, with a look of concentration and vigilance, ready to launch an attack.

  Slowly moving to the front of that ghost general, the old Dao was completely blocked by the tall ghost general. Hurriedly starting to make small movements, he winked at the ghost general, pointed at himself, then pointed at the old Dao behind him, and finally drew a line across his own neck.

  That ghost stared at Ye Nan with its big green eyes, seemingly unable to understand what kind of trick Ye Nan was playing.

  Ye Nan saw the ghost general like this, his heart was greatly alarmed, and he hurriedly pointed to Lao Dao again, drew a circle around his own neck, then opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, closed one eye and tilted his head, pretending to be dying! Then he pointed to the ghost general again, shook his fingers twice and pointed outward.

  That ghost finally seemed to understand, a flash of mysterious light flickered in his greenish eyes, with a hint of smile and sorrow. His mouth moved slightly, and Ye Nan's ear caught a faint whisper: "Young man, are you saying we pretend to fight first, then you secretly take care of that little Taoist? I can escape, and you can win too?"

  Ye Nan was startled by the sudden voice in his ear, but quickly realized it was the old ghost's message. Hearing this, he thought to himself that the old ghost wasn't stupid after all, and hastily nodded in agreement!

  "Do you have confidence? That little Taoist priest still has some skills!" The ghost general's voice was worried: "I can't go and help you!"

  Ye Nan quickly nodded again, letting Lao Gui feel at ease, and secretly thought: "Even if I can't handle it myself, there's still Wei Zi on the other side!"

  The two were still muttering to each other, and the old Taoist in the back was watching the ghost general's back, unable to see what they were doing, so he waited foolishly for the ghost general to suck away the little boy's soul. After waiting for a while, he didn't see the two take action, thinking that the ghost general was intentionally stalling, and hurriedly urged from behind: "Old ghost, hurry up!"

  At the urging of Lao Dao, the ghost who had just reached an agreement with him began to take action. The ghost, responding to Lao Dao's prompt, let out a loud "whoosh" as it pounced towards Ye Nan, its eyes gleaming with a smile as it shouted: "Youngster, come and meet your maker!"

  Ye Nan's face turned serious, and with a swift motion, he threw out a torn evil talisman, using it as a demon-dispelling charm. He let out a loud shout: "Behold my demon-dispelling charm, I command..."

  The old man only saw that with Ye Nan's shout, the ghost was hit by a ball of golden light. All he heard was a mournful cry, and the ghost's body shot out golden light in all directions, with thick black smoke billowing out. "Ah...ah..." Two cries sounded, and it fell from mid-air, its massive body rolling back and forth on the ground, just like the first spirit.

  At that time, Lao Dao was stunned, how could this ghost be so unscrupulous today? Last time, we and the master worked together to subdue him with great difficulty, but today he was knocked down by a single talisman from that little boy?

  Lao Dao was stunned, and Ye Nan also froze, thinking: "Is this a Po Xie symbol? The effect is so strong? Looking at the black smoke emanating from that old ghost's body, it's just a little worse than the Po Mo symbol!"

  It's Monday again, sigh... I've posted a new vote request, please spare some votes, thank you!!!
