Chapter 15: Hunting Souls, In Progress!

  Jiang Zhun stood at the front of the car, his left hand flat on a blank yellow paper, his face solemn. As the subway doors opened again after arriving at the station, the external yang energy surged in, and the yin energy inside the carriage was momentarily suppressed. Jiang Zhun's eyes lit up, his fingertips condensed the air, and he quickly drew on the yellow paper.

  He wrote with utmost seriousness, stroke by stroke. If there were fellow practitioners nearby, they would surely notice that the air around him began to distort, and strands of spiritual energy were being drawn out of the air, following his fingers and attaching themselves to the yellow paper, forming a symbol imbued with spiritual energy.

  At this time, the spiritual energy fluctuations in the air had become extremely intense, but Jiang Zhun seemed to have not noticed at all. After one talisman flew out, he quickly took out another blank yellow paper. Because the purpose of this time was to expel the evil spirit, the talismans drawn in mid-air were not very effective, so he could only choose to draw talismans on paper.

  Before long, Jiang Zhun's face was already dripping with sweat.

  And not to mention that he was not stingy with his own strength, tirelessly drawing talismans. I sat steadily in the middle section, closing my eyes to meditate, when suddenly I felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air, and suddenly opened my eyes, both hands forming a large circle in front of my chest, left palm facing upwards, thumb slightly curved, right hand pinched into an abstruse finger gesture.

  A pure and refined Qi emanates from the Ren Du meridians, flowing through the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, and Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian. It then passes through the Yin Qiao Mai and Yang Qiao Mai, emerging onto the body's surface, where it is completely absorbed by the copper bells in front of the body.

  The copper bell seemed to be held by an invisible hand, swaying and floating up, level with my eyebrows, spinning around in mid-air.

  The spiritual energy coming from the front of the car seemed to find its entrance in an instant and gathered towards the copper bell. I received this spiritual energy, my whole body shook, and my spirit platform cleared up a bit. Following that, my finger gestures changed, the copper bell whistled loudly, carrying this spiritual energy rushing towards the rear end of the carriage.

  Wang Cheng, who had been waiting at the rear of the car, also made a concerted effort and quickly completed this round of road construction.

  It was just a matter of seconds before the spiritual energy permeated the entire subway.

  If someone were to look at this subway from the outside at this time, they would find that all the cars are emitting a fluorescent glow outward.

  The bell came back even brighter than before.

  My eyes began to shine, only because I knew that the counterattack of the hundred ghosts in the carriage was about to begin. In an emergency, I still didn't forget to remind the two people who were shrinking in their seats: "Close your eyes, no matter what happens, don't open them."

  Shang Jin closed his eyes in fear, Wu Fan closed them for a moment, but then opened them again.

  But I had no time to pay attention to them, because in the next second, the dense spiritual energy had thoroughly enraged the ghosts inside the carriage. The ceiling lights of the carriage suddenly flickered and dimmed, the power supply was unstable, the train shook a few times, and slowly came to a stop, stopping in the middle of the track.

  Liu Quan's voice rang out: "You're looking for death!"

  A dark energy burst forth, attempting to shatter the spiritual barrier we three had built with all our might. It was as if a sharp dagger clashed with a resilient fishing net in a fierce battle. Although the net continued to break apart, new layers kept covering it up.

  Liu Quan's figure appeared in the carriage, wearing an old-time battle gown, with a helmet on his head, and the long sword in his hand had already been unsheathed, its blade pointing straight at me. Apparently seeing that among these three people, only I was a woman, to break through this barrier, he naturally chose to start with me.

  However, his abacus was destined to fall through. Joke! Although I'm the only girl, I've been practicing Taoist magic since childhood, and my cultivation is not inferior to that of the other two.

  I diverted a wisp of my spiritual energy to control the Soul Beckoning Bell, and with both hands raised at my sides, I rotated my fingertips twice before pushing them together. The spiritual energy transformed into an intangible sharp blade that entwined itself around Liu Quan's sword in his hand, wrapping tightly around both of his hands.

  "The grand celestial phenomenon, the Three Pure Ones descend, pointing to the seven passes, corresponding to the seven stars..." A low and solemn chant emerged from my mouth, as an invisible spiritual energy began to emit a soft white glow.

  Liu Quan's face turned gloomy, and the sword in his hand trembled slightly. He said, "Hmph, yellow-haired brat, now that we're underground, the yin energy has finally gained the upper hand over the yang energy. No matter how much spiritual energy you borrow, it will eventually be depleted." As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted force in his wrist, and the sword tip flashed before my face.

  My waist suddenly became extremely soft, and I leaned back, while my palms joined together to block the incoming sword, but was knocked out of a train carriage by the sword energy and force.

  "Shu Ling!" Wu Fan had been sneaking glances all along and now couldn't care less about anything, tensely shouting out.

  His cry was not serious, but it made the two people at the front and back of the car think that something had happened to me. They were anxious in their hearts, and their movements became chaotic. At this time, the killing aura inside the entire subway train began to surge up.

  I steadied myself and shouted, "I'm fine!" But in my heart, I was secretly gritting my teeth. This good-for-nothing Wu Fan, why did he have to interrupt at such a critical moment?
