395 The Fake Gone, The Real One Appears, Fierce Ghost

“Woo, woo, woo…”

As the fortune-teller was conducting the ritual, a cold wind suddenly blew in the courtyard. Many people shivered.

Especially Mr. and Mrs. Kona. They were nervous and afraid. They had been paying attention to their surroundings. Every time they caught a glimpse of the darkness, they would tremble involuntarily, as if they were afraid that a man-eating monster would rush out from the darkness.

Moreover, when they saw the attic in the distance facing the courtyard, the couple would look at each other and give each other strength.

“It’s alright… Nong Nong will definitely get better!”

The person living in the attic was their youngest daughter who was seriously ill. In the past, there would be a few maids constantly taking care of the young lady inside. Now, because the master wanted to perform a ritual, everyone inside had retreated. There was only the young lady in the attic which seemed to be haunted by a malicious spirit.

“Ahhhhhh!!”

“There’s… someone?! It’s a ghost!!”

“Ghost, it’s a ghost…”

Suddenly, the crowd exploded, shouting in panic, “Ghost… attic… there’s a ghost on the roof of the attic—”

Under the moonlight, a black shadow was swaying gently, floating down from the roof of the attic, as if it wanted to barge from the balcony into the bedroom where the young lady was.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the fortune-teller, and he shouted coldly, “A mere ghost! Don’t even think of being presumptuous!!”

As he spoke, he used several moves in a row. They looked extremely grand. A series of “woo” sounds could be heard in the courtyard, as if an invisible sword aura had been emitted.

“Yikes—”

Immediately after, something which did not sound like a human let out an extremely shrill and ear-piercing scream. The black shadow, which was floating at the edge of the roof of the attic, suddenly fell down.

“Bang!!”

The loud thud stunned everyone. Everyone in the courtyard exclaimed.

“It… it has fallen?”

“Fortunately, Master is here!”

“Strange, it sounds very heavy…”

“The ghost… the ghost is dead? I don’t know. Be careful…”

They were shocked by the sudden fall of the ghost. Many of them curled up into a ball and looked at the black shadow with fear and curiosity…

As if everything was under control, the old man brandished his sword. He still looked grand as he chanted incantations and waved his longsword.

“Ghost, retreat!!

According to his agreement with the other party, after he had shouted, the “ghost” ought to have hissed in pain and fled in panic…

However, at this moment, when the old fortune-teller swung the cross-shaped sword, the layers of black shadows that the tip of the sword pointed at did not move at all. In the silence, everyone in the courtyard held their breaths nervously and watched without blinking… In the silence, there was a hint of awkwardness.

The old man’s face heated up. Just as he was about to use a talisman to ease the endless awkward atmosphere, he suddenly saw the black shadow opposite… move!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

A series of strange sounds could be heard continuously; it was as if bones were being disassembled and reassembled. It made one’s skin and flesh tremble and a chill ran down one’s spine. Under everyone’s horrified gaze, the ghost was like a strange clockwork monster. It tilted its neck and got up in an extremely twisted posture!

After the monster had gotten up, it walked slowly toward the fortune-teller!

Faced with such a strange scene, the ordinary people in the courtyard were all shocked. They subconsciously retreated behind the master.

“It’s okay… Don’t be afraid… We have Master! Master will definitely be able to take down the malicious ghost!”

Everyone had been eagerly looking at the fortune-teller, whose face twitched. His palms, which were holding his sword, were sweating profusely. The strange feeling in his heart almost pierced the sky. “What’s going on? No! What the hell is going on… Why hasn’t he retreated?!”

With his back against everyone, he was sweating profusely as he thought of a solution. However, the black shadow still staggered toward everyone in an extremely twisted posture.

Step by step, the black shadow walked out completely from the dark shadows. The people in the courtyard swallowed their saliva and saw clearly.

It looked like an old man. He was wearing a black cloak that had been unevenly dyed, and there was a large amount of blood on it…

This person’s hair was disheveled, and his skin was pale. On his tilted neck was a head that was still dripping with blood. He was already extremely thin, and with the strange protrusions of his joints, he looked twisted and terrifying. He really looked like a malicious ghost.

“Devil, retreat!”

“Demon, retreat! Hmph!”

“Retreat!”

“…”

The fortune-teller kept chanting incantations and waving his sword. He even threw out a few talismans. He was sweating profusely from the effort.

The malicious ghost opposite him still did not give any reaction. It continued to maintain an extremely strange appearance and continued to walk step by step. It even let out a hiss that made one’s spine turn cold.

Seeing that the master was casting spells repeatedly but the malicious ghost was not affected, many of the timid ones had already fled from the courtyard.

Some people, including the Kona couple, still believed in the master. They cheered with trembling voices, “Great… Great Master! You can definitely do it!”

“We have to trust the Master… The Master has expected this…”

“Master might not have used his trump card yet!”

“Yes…” “But…”

Under the nervous, horrified, trusting, and surprised gaze of everyone, the master’s sword technique became faster and faster. There were also all kinds of strange colorful lights. They looked very magical, but… no matter what methods he used, the malicious ghost opposite him was actually able to walk till it was five steps away from the master without being stopped!

“Ahhhh—”

Amidst the overlapping screams, the malicious ghost suddenly jumped up like a ferocious beast and instantly pounced on the master!

“Demon, retreat… Ahhh!!”

Suddenly, he was pressed to the ground by the black shadow, and even his neck was tightly grabbed!!

“Ugh… you! Cough… let go! Let go!!”

The old man struggled with all his might. His face was red, and he was almost unable to breathe. A string in his heart had collapsed. He hurriedly took out a magical weapon from his pocket and shouted, “Quick, follow the order!”

After hearing these few sounds, the malicious ghost paused for a moment and suddenly shook its head repeatedly, as if it was about to shake something out. When the other party loosened its grip a little, the old man used all his strength to struggle out and get up in panic.

However, that malicious ghost immediately went crazy. A strange red light flashed in its eyes. It suddenly reached out and grabbed the old fortune-teller’s left foot, pulling hard.

The old man fell with a loud thud. His head hit the ground hard. He saw stars and his face was covered in blood!

In his fear and panic, he kicked at the malicious spirit that was grabbing his left leg. After breaking free, he immediately fled for his life!

The people who were still in the courtyard retreated in a daze. They did not care about the master or anyone else… “Run, run, there is a ghost!!”

In the panic, only three people remained calm.

The fortune-teller had just been grabbed at the neck by the malicious ghost and thrown to the ground. At this moment, he could not quickly escape at all. In his panic, he was tripped by an unknown object under his feet, and his entire body started rolling… to the front of the three of them.

Lily clapped her hands and smiled. “Anthony was right. Old man, you really do have a blood calamity!”

The malicious ghost howled and continued to pounce. Black fumes seemed to be emitted from its body, and the courtyard immediately became even colder.

“A little kid dares to be arrogant before me!”

Lily narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hand to flick the forehead of the malicious ghost that was pouncing at her. The originally crazy malicious ghost suddenly stopped, and a human popped out from the ball of black shadow!

After the black shadow had been ejected from his body, the possessed man immediately fell to the ground, motionless.

Seeing this scene, the ordinary people in the courtyard and the fortune-teller earlier were all shocked.
