Slaying Ghosts

A few days later, the number of escaping refugees grew.

The uneasiness in Su Mu's heart grew like a tumor.

Especially in the middle of the night, he always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

They stared at him until he felt a chill down his spine!

However, as far as he could see, there were only starving people.

There was nothing special in the darkness.

This made Su Mu think of the talent he had, [Taiyin].

[Taiyin: Fate of the great Yin, easily attracting ghosts and evil spirits]

In the past eight years, Su Mu had never encountered any of the supernatural, let alone evil spirits.

After a few years, he had gradually forgotten about this skill.

However, he was now reminded of it.

It was a chaotic world of famine. Countless people had died, and wronged souls were everywhere.

It seemed to make sense for some ghosts and monsters to appear.

However, Su Mu had no idea how to deal with the incorporeal.

He couldn't expect all the ghosts and demons to be like the little skeleton he had turned into in his last life, falling apart after taking a single step, right?

As he thought of this, Su Mu's heart sank.

The road ahead would not be easy to walk!

...

That night, Lu Tianlang and his family of four were asleep.

Su Mu lit a bonfire and stood guard alone.

The flames flickered and illuminated the area within a dozen meters.

However, it was completely dark in the distance.

The overlapping shadows, coupled with the faint smell of meat in the air, made it hard for people to tell if the people lying on the ground were humans or ghosts.

As he looked at it, Su Mu suddenly felt a little dazed.

The fire in front of him gradually became illusionary, and he felt sleepy.

Just as Su Mu was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt someone approaching him.

Su Mu stirred and perked up.

"Who's there!" Su Mu shouted and turned around.

At the same time, he pulled out his blade and was ready to kill the enemy!

"Ah!"

The man was shocked and took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.

Su Mu took a closer look. It was Lu Tianlang's eldest daughter, Lu Qingqing.

"What are you doing here?"

Su Mu asked with a straight face.

Lu Qingqing composed herself, then pouted angrily. "It's because you looked sleepy and I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I wanted to cover you with a blanket. "

Su Mu glanced at the blanket in her hand and said, "Thanks."

As he spoke, Su Mu kept his blade and reached for the blanket.

Lu Qingqing also walked forward and prepared to hand the blanket to Su Mu.

However, at the moment of the exchange, Su Mu's ring saber, which he had just retracted, suddenly flew out.

The blade was as swift as the wind and landed heavily on Lu Qingqing's neck!

"Pfft!"

In an instant, blood spurted out.

More than half of Lu Qingqing's neck had been severed. Her head was tilted to one side, and only a small amount of skin and flesh was left to support it.

"You..."

Lu Qingqing's face was covered in blood. She looked at Su Mu in disbelief, as if she could not believe that Su Mu would attack her.

Su Mu's face was ice cold, and without saying a word, he swung his blade again.

This time, Lu Qingqing's neck could no longer take it.

A beautiful head flew high into the air.

...

"I couldn't cut off your head with one strike, and you still want to pretend that you are Lu Qingqing?"

When this "Lu Qingqing" first appeared, Su Mu had a strange feeling.

It was a weak, nagging sensation.

However, after being attacked by that wave of drowsiness, Su Mu was already on full alert.

With his energy, how could he possibly doze off during the night watch?

All of this was odd.

There was definitely something wrong with this Lu Qingqing!

So he pretended to catch the blanket, but he really wanted to draw his blade and kill.

The fact that the blade did not cut off "Lu Qingqing's" head meant that the person in front of him was definitely not Lu Qingqing.

Su Mu's full strength blade could easily cut off the head of a horse, not to mention the head of a weak woman who had not cultivated.

Su Mu turned away from the corpse. Instead, he turned to look at the place where Lu Tianlang's family had been resting.

Su Mu's face changed drastically.

He didn't know when it started, but the scenery around him had completely changed!

Lu Tianlang's family of four disappeared.

There were no traces of the starving people lying around either.

Moreover, a thick gray mist rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The visibility quickly decreased.

In an instant, it was as if Su Mu was the only person left in the world!

While he was confused, the headless corpse suddenly moved.

Its four limbs were on the ground, and like a big spider, it quickly crawled towards Su Mu.

In just a moment, this damn thing had almost reached his face!

"What the hell is this?"

Su Mu cursed in his heart. He didn't even have time to swing his blade, so he directly threw a punch.

"Bang!"

This powerful punch sent the twisted headless corpse flying.

However, it did not stop. Instead, it disappeared into the gray fog.

At the same time, a rustling sound came from the gray fog that was getting thicker and thicker.

It was obvious that more ghostly things were approaching Su Mu!

At that moment, the visibility in the gray fog was less than three meters.

In such an environment, he was basically half-blind.

Su Mu could only rely on his other senses to lock onto the position of these ghostly things.

The ghostly thing in the gray mist did not attack Su Mu.

Instead, it circled around him and kept walking around, making a strange rustling sound.

Such a situation could easily drive the fear into people's hearts.

But Su Mu narrowed his eyes, and then relaxed his whole body and stood still.

He stood with his saber in his hand, his eyes half-closed.

Those who didn't know any better would think that he was taking a nap.

Su Mu was very clear that under such circumstances, it was not a good choice to take the initiative to attack.

If he attacked blindly, the enemy would be able to find his weakness.

What he had to do now was to relax his vigilance and maintain a good state of mind while also being able to attack at any time!

A defensive counterattack was the best choice.

...

In the gray fog, there was a constant rustling sound.

The chaotic sounds made it impossible to judge how many ghostly things were surrounding Su Mu.

However, Su Mu remained unmoved, without the slightest fear or panic.

Time slowly passed.

Finally, the ghostly being in the gray fog couldn't hold back any longer!

A sneaky figure was lying on the ground, almost touching the ground.

Under the cover of the gray mist, it circled around Su Mu's back and quietly approached him.

The distance between the two continued to shrink.

Five meters…

Three meters…

Two meters!

One meter!

Throughout the entire process, Su Mu did not seem to notice anything and remained motionless.

However, when the distance between the two sides was only one meter and the ghostly being was about to attack...

Su Mu moved first!

His eyes suddenly opened wide, and two rays of light shot out.

"Die!"

Su Mu shouted in anger and kicked the back of the saber that was stuck on the ground.

The saber spun and flew over his head like a gust of wind.

It accurately nailed the ghost that was about to attack him to the ground!

At the same time, Su Mu turned around.

He stepped on the ghost's head, pulled out the saber, and quickly looked.

A few blade glints flashed, and the ghostly being's limbs and head were all chopped off.

In this way, even if this damn thing could still move, it would not be a threat to speak of.

...

The entire process of slaying ghosts was clean and neat.

From kicking the blade to slicing it up like meat at the butcher's, it only took the blink of an eye.

An unknown ghostly being had fallen to Su Mu's hands.
