Ye Xuan was surrounded by three ghosts.
They wore the highest level of military uniforms in Japan, but they were tattered. They held a Japanese-style military knife in their hands. Most of their faces were festered, revealing the skeleton under the skin and the eyeballs that had more white than black. They roared and revealed their sharp fangs. Their eyes were bloodshot as they raised their knives and slashed at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's face was cold as he calmly jumped to the top of the three knives. He waved three talismans in his hand and quickly stuck them on the foreheads of the three ghosts.
But something even stranger happened. The three ghosts turned into a thick black fog and quickly shrouded Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan pursed his thin lips and his face was slightly serious. He reached out and threw another mid-level talisman into the thick black fog. Then, the thick fog dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The movement of approaching Ye Xuan also stopped. However, the cloud of black mist instantly enveloped Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly turned dark. The black fog turned into countless twisted palms that grabbed Ye Xuan's throat, legs, and hands, making him unable to move. Suddenly, he saw a military knife suddenly appear in one of the hands and stabbed at his shoulder blade. Ye Xuan couldn't help but sneer. He bent his waist and dodged the attack of the military knife. Then, he exerted force with his hands and feet, shaking the black fog away.
Ye Xuan took advantage of this moment to take out the Cold Moon Blade from the space and stabbed it into the black fog. In an instant, the black fog shone brightly. Ye Xuan's figure flashed and left the black fog.
Sure enough, after a moment, the black fog immediately dissipated, and the three Japanese ghosts from before reappeared in front of Ye Xuan. This time, they split into three groups to flank Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan stomped his foot, leaped up, stepped on the head of a ghost, and then jumped out of their encirclement.
Unexpectedly, the ghost that he stepped on reacted very quickly. In an instant, it turned around and slashed at him with a knife. Ye Xuan's heart instantly shrank. Fortunately, he moved slightly to the side in time, and the knife brushed past his body, cutting off a few strands of Ye Xuan's hair.
Seeing his black hair fluttering in front of his eyes, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with anger. Then, he patted the ghost's shoulder and flipped over. The corner of his clothes fluttered with the sound of the wind. Then, the knife in Ye Xuan's hand directly pierced through the ghost's chest before he fell.
A large hole immediately appeared on the ghost's chest, emitting a strong stench of rotting flesh and dripping black blood. Then, the ghost was thrown out.
The other two ghosts did not show any signs of weakness. They immediately charged at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan smiled arrogantly. His expression was as calm as ever, and the light in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze everything around him.
Two ghosts and one man confronted each other in a triangular formation. The rotten flesh on the faces of the two ghosts dressed in Japanese military uniforms was suffused with a thick black gas, and the rotten flesh on their faces seemed to be rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. The white bones under the skin were suffused with cold air, and they instantly opened their mouths, revealing their fangs …
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Xuan immediately decided to strike first. He raised his knife and slashed at them as fast as the wind.
He first stabbed at one of the ghosts. The ghost's military knife barely blocked the attack. Then, the other ghost instantly appeared behind him. Ye Xuan quickly turned around and took out an intermediate Ghost-Busting Talisman and stuck it on the ghost. After a series of cryptic incantations, the ghost's body immediately burst into flames. The military uniform on its body was instantly charred by the fire, revealing the rotten skin that emitted a foul smell.
The other ghost's attack also came quickly. Seeing that he was about to be sandwiched by the two ghosts, Ye Xuan quickly stepped on one of the ghosts and jumped out. He knelt on one knee and stabbed the Cold Moon Knife in his hand backward, instantly piercing through the two ghosts. Then, he quickly followed up with another slash. He took out an intermediate Ghost-Busting Talisman and stuck it on the ghost. That ghost and the other ghost also received the same treatment.
Tsk, looks like the ghosts in this Yasukuni Shrine are just ordinary.
This Yasukuni Shrine is also a scourge if left alone. Not only is the Yin energy too strong, but there are also many A-class war criminals' ghosts.
Why not …
Ye Xuan glanced at the two ghosts that were still burning at the side. The corners of his mouth curled into a rare playful smile. He immediately had a plan in his mind. He might as well just burn them down.
He walked into the main hall and lazily put one hand in his pocket. He took out a beginner level talisman with the other and held it between his fingers. Then, he silently recited a few incantations and threw the burning talisman in front of the memorial tablet. He looked at it for a moment and felt the heat wave rolling towards him. He watched as the space around him rippled because of the fire.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sharp and piercing laughter …
"Hehehehe, you're going to leave just like that?" A hunchbacked, old looking ghost floated out of nowhere. "As expected, the younger generation will surpass the older." He grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth that were as sharp as sawteeth.
Although he looked like an old man, he did not look benevolent at all.
His bald head was full of holes, and there was a black, earthworm-like scar that was sewn with dense stitches that extended from his forehead to the corner of his eye. His eyes were murky and flashed with a sinister light. His face was livid, and the veins under his skin were faintly visible.
"I knew that Yasukuni Shrine would not be that simple." Ye Xuan smiled coldly. He had already taken out a few intermediate level talismans from his space.
"Young people are so impatient. They don't know how to respect the elderly at all." The ghost was still smiling, but the curve of his mouth was getting wider and wider, reaching his ears!
"Cut the crap. Be careful that you won't be able to breathe properly." Ye Xuan's expression was still cold. He placed the talismans in his hands according to the eight trigrams of "Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun". He had set up a Vertical Cloud Array that could confuse spiritual beings. As the saying goes, "Heavy clouds are like mountains that confuse the road. Deep in the clouds lies a hidden dragon."
Before the ghost could reply, the surrounding environment changed into "mountains and seas of clouds".
Ye Xuan hid in the dark and watched as the ghost was attacked by the cloud giants under his command. Those clouds were not ordinary clouds. They contained the power of talismans, which was absolutely suppressive to ghosts.
"Hmph, what's the point of hiding?" The ghost easily dodged the attacks of the cloud giants.
"It's nothing. It's enough to defeat you." Ye Xuan's voice came from the layers of clouds. His voice was cold and ethereal.
These clouds were not enough to defeat the ghost, but it was good enough to exhaust some of his Primordial Qi.
However, sometimes one should not provoke a rabbit too much. After all, a rabbit would bite when it was anxious.
Moreover, he had expended a little more Primordial Qi to set up the array this time. He had to end the battle quickly. However, because he was still not strong enough against this "old ghost", he had to use his wits to win.
Thus, Ye Xuan hid in the clouds and kept ambushing the ghost.
"Hehe, hide-and-seek brat, I've found you." The ghost's eyes were bloodshot and fresh blood dripped from the corners of his eyes. He stretched out an old and wrinkled hand and touched Ye Xuan's shoulder.
Ye Xuan looked at the ghost and the smile on his face suddenly turned evil. He was holding the Cold Moon Saber in one hand and the edge of the saber had pierced into the ghost's abdomen.
"You're still too … Oh, what did you smear on the saber?!" The ghost looked at the Cold Moon Saber that had pierced into his abdomen and continued to smile indifferently. But then, his expression changed and he spat out black blood!
"It's nothing, just a little blood from my heart." The blood from the heart was the thing that had the most Yang Qi in the human body. It was the perfect weapon to restrain evil ghosts.
"Aren't you afraid that your Yang Qi will be exhausted?"
"It's okay. You'll pay the price."
Actually, a drop of blood from the heart was not enough to completely defeat this ghost. If the Cold Moon Saber was not infused with Primordial Qi, it would be useless. Even so, it was more than enough to seal this ghost.
"It's as urgent as the law, seal!" Ye Xuan made eight hand gestures and instantly sealed the ghost into the "Vertical Cloud Array".
