Then, an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
One of the teammates suddenly ran forward at incredible speed. With a “pa”, he slapped a talisman onto the evil spirit. The talisman burst into a golden light, and the evil spirit trembled violently all over, as if it had been electrocuted.
Apart from Xie Jiao, who had already lost consciousness, everyone else was shocked.
Damn!
What is this thing?!
So dazzling?!
Tan Long was overjoyed.
No wonder it was a life-saving item—this thing was ridiculously effective!
The teammates who had received these life-saving talismans immediately rushed forward, slapping one after another onto the evil spirit.
“Zzz—”
“Zzz—”
“Zzz—”
After just a few hits, golden light from the talismans had already enveloped the entire evil spirit. The light sliced through it like a knife cutting through tofu.
The evil spirit screamed under everyone’s gaze and shattered into several pieces.
Then, it dissolved completely within the golden light.
……
Ruan Yaoyao finally remembered her “Soul Suppression Banner.” She took it out and studied it for a while.
【Soul suppressing, evil suppressing… I wonder if it can suppress these evil spirits too?】
【Anyway, they’re all called ‘gui’ in different contexts, so it shouldn’t be much different, right?】
【If talismans work on both sides, this should work too, right?】
Ruan Yaoyao tried tossing it into the air. The Soul Suppression Banner indeed stopped mid-air, its flag fluttering without wind.
She vaguely sensed something. Golden threads swirled in her pupils, which instantly transformed into golden beast-like eyes.
She could clearly see countless strands of black mist rushing toward the banner, like a waterspout in reverse. The banner was frantically absorbing the black mist.
“Huh?”
Ou Jian turned his head in confusion.
“What’s wrong, Ou Jian?” the man with glasses asked.
Ou Jian frowned. “I don’t know… it just feels like something passed by.”
In places they could not see, endless black mist was converging toward the sky, gathering together and surging toward a single point.
The evil spirits hidden within the black mist were shaken loose and dropped onto the ground one by one. Moonlight pierced through the air, illuminating them clearly.
“Evil spirits!”
“What’s going on? Why are there so many of them?!”
“There are evil spirits over there—move!”
……
Meanwhile, the things that had been destroyed by talismans and dissolved into the black mist were originally supposed to be absorbed by the remaining evil spirits. But now, they were being drawn by the black mist and drifting toward the Soul Suppression Banner instead.
A small golden snake inside Ruan Yaoyao’s dantian suddenly shot out and perched atop the banner, waiting for the incoming energy like it was meal time, opening its mouth to “eat”.
Ruan Yaoyao: 【……】
【This really is a dragon sucking water now!】
At this moment, Liang Shishi had gone out to help Mayor Chen and the others, leaving only Ruan Zhihe by her side. Seeing her thoughts, she looked up.
And it really was!
The usually rarely-seen golden snake had appeared again. After careful observation, it shimmered with golden light, and two small bumps had formed on its head. No matter how she looked at it, it resembled a legendary growing flood dragon.
Could it really be a dragon?
But if it was a dragon, why was it inside Aunt Xu’s body?
“Do you feel like something’s not right?”
Just as Hua Bo had finished killing an evil spirit, he sensed something was off and looked up at the sky. He couldn’t see the black mist being drawn away, but to his left was a translucent digital panel displaying his personal stats and kill count.
If Ruan Yaoyao were here, she would definitely exclaim: “Wow! A video game?!”
Yes, exactly.
That screen was just like character stats in a game, showing 【Name】, 【Level】, 【Spirit Power】, 【Stamina】, 【Skills】…
It even had a 【Backpack】.
Wasn’t this basically a character panel from an online game?
Beside him, a woman dressed in a bunny outfit, Feng Yue, turned her head.
“It is a bit strange. The evil spirits today feel unusually aggressive, like something has stimulated them. And today isn’t even a red moon…”
“Exactly because it isn’t a red moon, it feels even stranger.”
As they spoke, more evil spirits began falling—some of them even high-level ones.
The two immediately became alert.
“Did you notice? They seem to be falling from the sky!”
“Yeah! I noticed it too. Could someone be targeting us?”
“Do you have enemies?”
Feng Yue sighed helplessly. “I just received news that my rival, Ferdinand Susan, is also participating in this event. She’s probably here for me.”
Hua Bo: “……How did you even provoke that crazy woman?”
“It’s not like I wanted to. The person she likes is going to marry me as his third husband, so she got angry and started causing trouble for me.”
Though she said it wasn’t intentional, there was still a hint of pride on Feng Yue’s face.
After all, that was the man the Ferdinand heiress liked—being able to take him was proof of her ability.
Hua Bo: “……”
He had only heard that this woman liked stealing other people’s crushes—he didn’t expect it to be true.
So… was she just playing with him too?
Before he could ask, an evil spirit suddenly charged toward them.
“Dodge! I’ve got this—”
“Be careful, it’s a high-level evil spirit!”
“Don’t worry, even a high-level one is no problem. High-level evil spirits are great materials for weapons. That serrated scythe you want will finally be within reach.”
Feng Yue smiled faintly. “Thank you, Hua Bo. You’re so good to me.”
“Who told you I’m your husband? If I don’t spoil you, who will?”
……
Ruan Yaoyao stared at the Soul Suppression Banner, which had unintentionally drained all the black mist of Lansu Town.
For a moment, she couldn’t speak.
【This thing… is it really that powerful?】
【It absorbed an entire town?!】
Ruan Zhihe: “……”
Yeah… it really is kind of ridiculous!
If they had known earlier, they should’ve taken it out long ago.
After absorbing so much black mist, the banner had changed slightly—the black aura covering it had become thicker and deeper, carrying an even colder, more oppressive feeling.
Fortunately, as its owner, Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t feel it—otherwise she would’ve thrown it away already.
The golden snake perched on top suddenly stood upright, staring into the distance.
Ruan Yaoyao turned her head in confusion.
【What is it looking at?】
At that moment, she felt the ground tremble slightly. It was so faint that only someone with strong senses could detect it.
“There’s something coming!”
Ruan Yaoyao’s expression instantly turned serious.
“Aunt Xu, if anything happens later, you must retreat immediately and ensure your safety! You are very important to us, do you understand?” Ruan Zhihe said first.
Ruan Yaoyao: 【……】
【This special advisor is that important?】
【They’re telling me to run as soon as something happens?】
【Am I supposed to be a deserter now?】
Ruan Zhihe immediately developed a headache.
Aunt Xu really isn’t going to leave, is she?
Ahhh… Shishi, where are you?!
Please come back quickly—I can’t persuade her alone!
“Achoo…”
Liang Shishi sneezed.
She had Ruan Yaoyao’s personally given life-saving item in her bag, and talismans in her hand. Like a war goddess, she advanced fearlessly, cutting down everything in her path.
So satisfying!
This is what a strong woman should be like!
