At this moment, even if Shao Qian were to retreat, it would already be too late. His soul energy had no choice but to cover everything above his neck as a safeguard. At least he wouldn't get too severe injuries this way.
Who would've known that just as that Yin qi shaped into a blade reached the front of his eye, he would be pushed aside by someone, and immediately after that, he felt something warm on his face. He waited a while before opening his eyes, his hand wiping away the warm liquid on his face and upon seeing the dark red blood on his hand, his pupils contracted.
"Doll, are you okay?" Song Dao didn't care about the wound, that was deep enough to see bone on his shoulder, only disorderly feeling Shao Qian's body, anxiousness clear on his face as he confirmed whether or not he had been injured.
Shao Qian had experienced many worlds, but never before had a person, upon seeing him in danger, blocked it for him. Even if the system was still here, it would only be able to use a mechanical voice to remind him to be careful, and that the people that would kill him was coming. (Why did he feel as if this reminder from the system was better off not being a reminder?)
Song Dao was the first person who was willing to use his body to block for him and was also the first who was obviously injured, yet would still be worried for him. Shao Qian's heart felt warm. This kind of feeling that came from others caring about him was really warm.
Only…
Shao Qian's face was black as he pulled out Song Dao's hand from beneath his shirt. "I'm fine, you don't need to put your hand into my clothes."
Fuck. Whatever moved feelings he had were all rubbed away by this touching and pinching hand. Can you be a bit more serious at such time? This was the first time he had this feeling with much difficulty. Was it easy to come by?
Song Dao laughed dryly and got up from Shao Qian's body. It was only when he thought of the Yin qi blade that came from below, that his face became terrifyingly cold. At that time, he really hadn't expected the ghost to actually take advantage of the array to hide and conceal itself underground. It looked like he had underestimate Ling Gang. After all, the tactic of this ghost hiding alongside the array had also deceived him.
"Looks like his preparation was rather complete." Perhaps this place wasn't only hiding a single ghost. As Ling Gang had invested everything in order to kill him this time, he didn't know from when he had started setting this up.
"I'll face this female ghost, you go force the one hiding underground out." When Shao Qian saw Song Dao's shoulder wound, his face was extremely icy, to the extent where it could scare others. He held hatred towards this female ghost. If he doesn't kill her, then he wouldn't be able to face himself along with Song Dao.
"Be careful." Song Dao believed in Shao Qian, and it could even be said to be those kind of unconditional trust. The sneak attack just now had been out of his expectations. Moreover, as his legs had been held by the ghost hiding underground, he didn't have time to dodge.
However, when Song Dao had looked at his face, he didn't seem frightened, merely frowning as he prepared to endure the attack from the Yin qi blade. He couldn't just do nothing but stare as Doll got harmed in front of him though. Anyone who harmed Doll would have to die.
Shao Qian nodded his head, moving towards the ghost that had just broken free from Song Dao's blood talisman. Although he didn't know any Taoist techniques, he was able to use his soul energy. After experiencing so many worlds, his tempered soul energy was enough to eliminate that trivial ghost.
The female ghost had been injured several times by Song Dao's blood talisman, and half of her demonic energy had already vanished. She had intended on breaking free from the talisman before retreating, however, she didn't expect that the amazing exorcist would actually not pay any attention to her. This made the quick-witted female ghost, who was originally intending to flee, get up. How about she devour that little ghost? However, she was afraid that when that time comes, she wouldn't be able to break free from that demon's hold.
In his hand, Song Dao weaved a seal to break the array within the room. After biting his middle finger, he drew a refining ghost array on the ground. Immediately after that, he drew an Eight Trigrams on his palm and placed it in the middle of the array.
After Song Dao withdrew his hand, the refining ghost array abruptly flashed in a golden light as it expanded and spread out. In an instant, the entire room was covered by the array. Upon being hit by the golden light, the female ghost who was fighting Shao Qian let out a shrill cry and tried to hide. However, the entire room was covered by the array now. Even if she wanted to hide, where could she hide? Don't even mention hiding now, even retreating out of the morgue was impossible.
"Doll, come here." It was only after Song Dao activated the array did he suddenly remember that his doll was also a ghost. This array couldn't choose its target. If by any chance, the array accidentally injured Doll…
Thinking to here, Song Dao's face went deathly pale in a split second. He had already begun weaving a seal, intending on recalling the array that had already spread out. Even if the consequence of his actions would give rise to a severe injury, he still wouldn't permit himself harming Doll.
"I'm fine." Shao Qian's entire body was covered in his soul energy and didn't reveal even the slightest Yin qi. However, if he were to approach Song Dao, that would not be the case. He hadn't forgotten how he wasn't able to utilise his soul energy when he was around Song Dao.
It was only when Song Dao heard Shao Qian's words did he react. The female ghost who was restricted within the refining ghost array had already curled up into a ball, he Yin qi unstable. However, his doll's expression was unchanged, just like he wasn't the slightest bit affected. Song Dao suddenly recalled, after Doll had stepped into the room, he didn't seem to exude any more Yin qi. This… What was the reason for this?
However, the situation right now wasn't suitable for Song Dao to pay close attention to this matter. After a few breaths, the refining ghost array had the two ghosts forced out of it, and immediately after that, an even stronger Yin qi gushed out from beneath the ground. The morgue's floor cracked as the Yin qi broke through it, and Song Dao's refining ghost array was assaulted high and low.
After that, a person gradually appeared on the surface of the ground. That person wore ancient clothing and her hair was combed into a lily bun. Wearing feminine clothes, that person looked especially enchanting. However, the demonic energy covering the entirety of that body let others to know that this enchanting beauty was in fact an evil being.
"Woah! Didn't expect that your face looked this good." Shao Qian looked the female up and down before clicking his tongue in wonder. "I remember that your were originally missing an eye. How did this eye grow?"
Ghosts could still grow their eyes? Of course they couldn't. That eye was one that the female ghost dug out from a living body, before using Yin qi to infect it and pressing it into her face.
"How is she pretty?" Once Song Dao heard Shao Qian praise that evil spirit, he immediately spoke sourly, "In any case, it's simply an illusion, how could she even be on par with Doll?"
"You don't think she looks familiar?" Shao Qian used his chin to nod towards the female ghost. At that time, the original plot had said the female lead and Song Dao looked pretty much the same, and after they got along, love comes in time?
"Ghosts aren't all about appearances." Song Dao assumed that Shao Qian had really taken a fancy to that person and immediately spoke in a harsh and cold tone, "Wait for a while, I'll beat her back into her original state and let you see how ugly she was before.
Shao Qian didn't need to see though. After all, when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was this thing. He would definitely remember that face for a long time.
The female loved beauty. If it wasn't so then, then she wouldn't have dug out someone's eye and pressed it into her face. However, this human and ghost was now talking unrestrainedly about her looks directly in front of her, even threatening that they would beat her back into her previously ugly appearance. Could she endure?
The evil spirit exploded with rage due to these two men's attitude. The Yin qi around her body surged out alongside with her evil intentions. However, the refining ghost array was based on the more Yin qi, the stronger the effect. Therefore, the evil spirit was restrained within the array in the matter of moments, unable to move as the Yin Energy within her gushed out somewhat uncontrollably.
As the creator of the array, how could Song Dao not know about the greatness of it? Of course he would know. Therefore, it was in such manner that he paid no mind towards it, and instead, gorged heavily on vinegar [1] towards Shao Qian. He was waiting for Ling Gang to arrive, so he could round up the gang in one swoop. However, Song Dao didn't know what had happened in the house. If he had known, he absolutely wouldn't wait in this place and waste his time.
"She looks a bit unwell." Standing at the other side of the room, Shao Qian watched the evil spirit become more and more ferocious as he rubbed his lower jaw. "Looking at her behaviour, it seems like she wants to eat you."
"I don't have the hobby of eating ghosts." Song Dao spoke with a cold-shoulder. "It's because of her that the basic thinking of ghosts can't be lifted up."
"Two ignorant children." The evil spirit tried a few times, but couldn't break the restraint in the end. Therefore, it was like this that she stood on the same spot, fiercely glaring at the human and ghost."Don't get arrogant. Once I get out of this, I'll definitely devour the lives of you two."
"Oh dear, I'm so scared!" With an exaggerated expression, Song Dao patted his chest and walked towards Shao Qian. "Doll, quick! Comfort me, comfort me!
