Chapter 498: Only know how to play hide-and-seek?
Chen Yile did not dare to be careless. He leaned against a pillar and observed his surroundings vigilantly. Spiritual power continued to emanate from his body, forming a faint halo that illuminated a small area around him.
But the ghost seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him, revealing a little trace in the darkness from time to time and emitting that sinister laughter, but it did not actually show up to confront Chen Yile head-on, which made Chen Yile's nerves tense.
"If you have the guts, come out and fight openly. What's the point of hiding?" Chen Yile shouted loudly, trying to provoke the ghost and make it show up.
However, the response he received was still that hair-raising laughter.
Just when Chen Yile was distracted for a moment, the ghost suddenly appeared above his head, and a pair of claws emitting black smoke grabbed him fiercely.
Chen Yile was shocked and hurriedly raised his arms to block.
The ghost's claws grabbed his arm, and even though there was clothing between them, he still felt a piercing pain, as if a cold chill was drilling into his body through the wound.
"Hiss!" Chen Yile took a deep breath and kicked the monster hard, kicking it away for a distance.
He didn't bother to check the wound on his arm. He took out a few more talismans, quickly made seals, stimulated the power of the talismans to the maximum, and threw them in the direction of the ghost.
This time, the power of the talisman paper seemed to have some effect on the ghost. After being hit by the talisman paper, it let out a painful roar, and the black smoke on its body became thinner.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yile picked up a steel pipe from the ground, used it as a makeshift weapon, and prepared for battle.
The ghost seemed to be enraged as well, no longer hiding its body, revealing its hideous and terrifying appearance.
Its face was covered with rotten flesh, revealing blood-red bones. Its mouth was wide open, filled with sharp fangs. Black liquid kept dripping from its mouth, making a "sizzling" sound as it dripped onto the ground, as if the liquid was extremely corrosive.
It pounced towards Chen Yile again, this time with a more ferocious attack. As it waved its claws, it brought up black light and shadows, each of which contained a powerful evil force.
Chen Yile gritted his teeth and rushed forward waving the steel pipe.
The steel pipe collided with the ghost's claws, making a harsh metal collision sound and splashing a string of sparks.
Although Chen Yile has strong spiritual power, the power of this ghost should not be underestimated. Every collision makes his arms numb.
During the fierce confrontation, Chen Yile spotted a flaw and hit the ghost's abdomen hard with a steel pipe.
The ghost was knocked back and fell heavily on a pile of construction materials, scattering them everywhere.
But before Chen Yile could catch his breath, the ghost quickly got up again, and the green light in its eyes became even stronger. It was obviously completely enraged, and rushed towards Chen Yile desperately, as if it was going to die with him.
On the other side, the situation on Lin Qingyao's side is not optimistic either.
She searched in another direction. The further she went, the stronger the evil spirit became, making it hard for her to breathe.
Suddenly, she heard a faint cry, which was extremely miserable, as if filled with endless sorrow and pain.
Lin Qingyao walked in the direction of the crying and found that it came from a basement entrance.
The entrance to the basement was pitch black, like a big mouth ready to devour anyone.
Lin Qingyao took a deep breath, turned on the flashlight on her phone, and slowly walked towards the basement.
The steps were covered with dust and some unknown stains, and water droplets seeped onto the walls, dripping down and echoing in the silent basement like some kind of countdown clock.
Lin Qingyao had just reached the bottom of the basement when a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner and pounced towards her.
Lin Qingyao reacted extremely quickly, dodging sideways. At the same time, a dagger emitting a faint glow appeared in her hand and stabbed towards the black shadow.
The black shadow dodged the dagger and revealed its figure. It turned out to be a vengeful spirit wearing tattered work clothes. Its face was covered in blood, and its messy hair covered most of its face. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and its eyes were full of hatred and resentment.
"Why are you disturbing me? Why?" The vengeful spirit made a sharp sound, which echoed in the basement, causing pain in people's eardrums.
Lin Qingyao frowned and said, “I’m looking for my friend. Have you seen anyone brought here?”
The vengeful spirit seemed not to hear her words. It just roared madly and pounced on Lin Qingyao again. Its hands turned into sharp claws and grabbed towards her face.
Lin Qingyao swung the dagger in her hand quickly, colliding with the claws of the vengeful spirit, splashing a series of sparks of spiritual power.
While resisting the attacks of the vengeful spirit, she tried to find an opportunity to subdue it, but the vengeful spirit was extremely agile and was able to avoid her fatal attacks every time. Moreover, the frequency of the attacks was getting faster and faster, making Lin Qingyao gradually feel a little tired.
Just as Lin Qingyao was about to cast a powerful spell to deal with the vengeful spirit, she suddenly heard Chen Yile's muffled groan not far away. Her heart tightened, worried that something had happened to Chen Yile. In a moment of distraction, the vengeful spirit seized the opportunity and scratched her shoulder with a claw, tearing her clothes and letting blood seep out.
"Damn it!" Lin Qingyao gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She quickly formed seals and chanted a complicated spell. The spiritual power in her body suddenly burst out, forming a powerful shock wave that swept towards the vengeful spirit.
The vengeful spirit was hit by the shock wave and let out a shrill scream. Its body was shaken and flew backwards, hitting the wall of the basement, and slowly slid down, temporarily losing the ability to move.
Lin Qingyao didn't bother to check her own injuries and ran towards Chen Yile, shouting as she ran: "Yile, how are you?"
Chen Yile was in the middle of a fierce battle with the ghost. When he heard Lin Qingyao's voice, he was delighted and shouted, "Qingyao, I'm here. Be careful, this ghost is very powerful!"
When the ghost heard Lin Qingyao's voice, it seemed to realize that the situation was not good and wanted to escape.
How could Chen Yile let it succeed? He tried his best and cast another powerful spell. A ray of spiritual light shot out from his hand and hit the ghost directly on the back.
After being hit, the ghost's body suddenly stiffened and its speed slowed down.
Chen Yile took the opportunity to rush forward and hit it hard on the head with a steel pipe, again and again, until the black smoke on the ghost completely dissipated and turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
Chen Yile panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and looked at Lin Qingyao who was running towards him. Seeing the wound on her shoulder, he asked distressedly: "Qingyao, are you injured? Is it serious?"
