Chapter 486: The Aggrieved Red Dress! Zhang Wei Can Use Spells Too!? The Great Sword!

Zhang Wei’s intuition wasn’t entirely wrong. Since Li Yanchu had drawn the ancient Wind Divine Bow, he clearly had a purpose; he was surely planning to shoot at something...

But Li Yanchu was not aiming at the blood moon in the sky; his target was the woman in the flowing red dress.

The power of the blood moon was being absorbed by the monstrous ghost with the gaping mouth on its chest, which was why everyone’s internal energy was steadily recovering.

From this perspective, what Li Yanchu needed was for that huge ghost to continue devouring the blood moon’s power. And the beautiful woman in the red dress would absolutely not allow the ghost to continue unimpeded.

Li Yanchu lifted the Wind Divine Bow, hooked his finger on the string, and slowly drew it back. By now, his blood and qi had become robust enough that the bow’s expenditure would not be purely of magical power. As the string stretched, a brilliant, scorching arrow appeared.

The muscles on Li Yanchu’s arm tensed; his back exuded a wild, imposing aura, which was quite different from the ethereal, drifting aura he displayed while performing the Dao technique earlier.

Now, he radiated a distinctly masculine yang power.

“Eh?” The beautiful woman in the red dress sensed a sharp, targeting energy aimed at her.

Turning, she saw the young, handsome Daoist holding the bow, taking aim directly at her. She could hardly believe it.

“This young Daoist... is trying to shoot me?!” the red-dress woman exclaimed in surprise.

A sense of grievance rose in her heart.

I’m clearly helping you fight the ghosts!

Li Yanchu had no mind-reading ability and did not understand what calculations this mysterious figure had in mind. But just by her sudden appearance, looking like the grotesque, disheveled monster from earlier, he immediately assumed she was not to be trusted.

Boom!

The sharp arrow streaked through the air, forming a bright white line, striking right in front of the red-dress woman like a shooting star.

The woman’s pupils constricted. Her internal energy surged into the sword in her hand, unleashing a powerful burst of demonic energy.

Rumble!

The demonic energy collided with the divine arrow from the Wind Divine Bow, producing ripples visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the terrifying huge ghost accelerated its absorption of the blood moon’s power.

Originally, the red glow from the blood moon could have aided the red-dress woman, but it wasn’t enough to alter the rules of the town, because that energy was only what the town itself had voluntarily granted.

But the huge ghost was different. Born from a fragment of a Taotie, it had become a twisted ghostly entity.

It had once been unremarkable, slightly more vicious than an ordinary malevolent ghost, but after Li Yanchu’s careful manipulation, the huge ghost had devoured countless other ghosts. Now, it had grown into a truly terrifying existence, capable of absorbing the blood moon’s power directly.

Li Yanchu’s current objective was to let this huge ghost continue consuming, until the rules of the mysterious town were thoroughly broken, only then could their group finally leave.

“Anything that obstructs this factor must be eliminated!”

However, if he directly told the woman in the red dress this, she might actually agree. But who would have thought that this sealed monster crawling out of the ground would harbor any goodwill toward Li Yanchu? Even Li Yanchu himself didn’t fully believe it.

So the situation on the field was rather bizarre. The red-dress woman wanted to slay the massive ghost to do a favor for this young, handsome Daoist. But Li Yanchu needed to protect the huge ghost, because only with the ghost absorbing the blood moon’s power could they leave smoothly.

Being shot at continuously, the red-dress woman felt deeply frustrated. Arrow after arrow shot at Li Yanchu, making her breath quicken. The backlash of energy coursed through her body, flushing her face a deeper red.

“Damn it! This young Daoist is ungrateful, heartless and merciless!” the red-dress woman scolded furiously.

Li Yanchu froze for a moment at her words, but his eyes still radiated deadly intent.

Rumble!

He then unleashed another arrow shot!

The divine arrow of the Wind Divine Bow forced the red-dress woman backward. This was also why she didn’t want to fight Li Yanchu to the death. Otherwise, her Asura Demon Sword could unleash even greater power.

But if she used that level of power now, she herself wouldn’t be able to control it, at least not yet, since her strength hadn’t fully recovered. Thus, she could only face this young Daoist cautiously.

Rumble! Rumble!

The red-dress woman was again pushed back, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her expression turning colder.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

“Young Daoist, enough! If you shoot me again, I’ll strike back!” the red-dress woman shouted.

“You might want to think about what you’re saying...” Li Yanchu’s lips twitched slightly.

Then, he nocked another arrow, shooting again to keep the red-dress woman restrained.

This mysterious town was an independent space, devoid of ordinary people, or rather, almost everyone here was a ghost. The ordinary people who had gone missing earlier had long since died in this strange town. Only the monk cousins had survived, hiding among corpses thanks to their sharp reflexes and experience.

And, of course, there was one exception, Liu Jun. She had managed to hide in a coffin, which was audacious and meticulous.

At this moment, the group gradually regained their magical power and exchanged glances.

“It’s our turn to act!” Zhang Wei took a deep breath.

I’m a descendant of the Zhang family, the strongest of this generation. Besides my older brothers, it’s just me. Uh... well, discounting a few older sisters. I can’t let the Zhang family lose face!

Master Zhiqing shared the same thought.

Especially Zhiqing, he was extremely fierce. Though, like Li Yanchu, he didn’t come from a famous temple, he was no ordinary person either. To many, he seemed either a reincarnation of a great power or someone blessed by a high monk. Otherwise, how could he fight so fiercely?

Zhang Wei summoned his Taiji Diagram, a Daoist artifact gifted by a master. Although similar to Li Yanchu’s Taiji Yin-Yang Method, it was a weapon for controlling flying swords.

Just then, four sharp great swords slowly appeared behind the stern-faced Zhang Wei. No doubt, the huge ghost’s devouring speed was ridiculously fast, allowing Zhang Wei, Master Zhiqing, and the others to now deploy their artifacts.

They had also realized the key: they had to protect the huge ghost. Of course, this time their actions were also about releasing the pent-up anger in their chests!

Liu Jun was shocked.

Whoa, Zhang Wei can use magic too?!

Zhang Wei’s eyes, previously shining with divine light and his expression cold, suddenly caught Liu Jun’s gaze. His lips twitched slightly, nearly breaking his composure.

Damn it, this short-sighted fool, do they really think I’m useless?!

Zhang Wei thought to himself.

“Hellbane!” Zhang Wei shouted coldly as four massive great swords shot through the air!

At the same time, Master Zhiqing unleashed twelve golden fist imprints, while the monk cousins also used their Buddhist techniques, striking toward the woman in the red dress.
