The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 12 [Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★★★]

"Meow—!!"

The two-legged, human-faced sheep let out a twisted howl. On its swollen, grotesque face, the only remaining eye stared intently at Zhao Qiao'er, who was frantically fleeing for her life.

It had no desire to get entangled with Lu Yuan.

With a sudden push of its hooves, it was about to bypass Lu Yuan and chase after Zhao Qiao'er!

A fierce glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and his left hand, which had already formed the "Binding Earth Seal," slammed down onto the ground!

"The earth's veins are like locks, trapping evil spirits and suppressing malevolent forces—Seal!"

hum!

Centered on Lu Yuan, a layer of barely perceptible golden light emanated from the ground within a radius of ten zhang.

This is the "Earth Vein Locking Evil Technique" that Lu Yuan learned from the system reward. Although it is only a basic Taoist technique, it can trap evil spirits for a short period of time.

The two-legged sheep had only taken two steps when its hooves seemed to sink into the mud, and its speed suddenly decreased.

It turned around angrily, its twisted human face grinning even wider, revealing black and yellow fangs.

"Waaah..."

The eerie wailing sounded again, sharper and more frequent than before.

Lu Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and deform.

The trees turned into menacing ghostly figures, blood-red ripples spread across the ground, and even the air seemed to solidify into a viscous liquid.

It wants to weave dreams again!

Lu Yuan bit his tongue hard, the intense pain exploding with the taste of blood, forcibly maintaining a sliver of clarity in his mind.

But he knew very well that this pain alone was no match for the full force of the two-hundred-year-old demon's erosion.

We must take the initiative!

"The Five Thunder Orthodox Method, dispelling falsehoods and vanquishing evil—swiftly!"

Lu Yuan ran his right sword finger across the peach wood sword, and his spiritual power surged wildly into the blade.

The runes carved with cinnabar on the wooden sword suddenly lit up with a crimson light, and a bolt of lightning as thin as a hair yet extremely condensed shot out from the tip of the sword.

It pierced straight at the sheep's eyebrows!

This wasn't real heavenly lightning, but rather "palm lightning" simulated by Lu Yuan using his own spiritual power, just like the heavenly lightning that stopped the two-legged sheep earlier.

Thunder magic is a very high-level technique; only Taoist priests who have truly reached the level of Celestial Master can use it.

However, although Lu Yuan's lightning is less than one-tenth the power of heavenly lightning, it is faster and more accurate, and is especially effective at breaking evil illusions!

scoff!

The lightning struck the sheep squarely between the eyebrows, and the human face let out a shrill scream as a cloud of black smoke exploded from its forehead.

The illusion shook violently, like a reflection in water being shattered by pebbles.

The two-legged sheep went completely mad.

It no longer tried to weave dreams, but instead its limbs bulged with muscles, and a strange black light emanated from its horns. It lowered its head and charged fiercely towards Lu Yuan!

The speed is astonishing!

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he held his sword horizontally in front of him with both hands—

boom! ! !

A heavy impact rang out.

Lu Yuan felt as if he had been hit head-on by a charging wild buffalo, and he was sent flying seven or eight meters away.

He slammed heavily against an old tree, the shock sending shivers down his spine.

puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his Taoist robe red.

Although the peach wood sword blocked the ram's horn's direct piercing, fine cracks had already appeared on the blade.

The magic sword that had been with him for over a year was about to give way.

The two-legged sheep, having struck successfully, charged again without pausing for a moment, its four hooves pounding the ground!

This time, a thick black aura rose from its body, and a venomous expression appeared on its human face, its ram horns pointing directly at Lu Yuan's throat!

To die!

The thought flashed through Lu Yuan's mind.

But Lu Yuan's body moved faster than his mind. Almost instinctively, he rolled to the side and pulled out a handful of yellow talismans from his pocket, scattering them forward without even looking!

"Golden light protects the body, all evil retreats—by imperial decree!"

Seven or eight talismans spontaneously combusted in mid-air without wind, transforming into a dazzling golden barrier.

The two-legged sheep crashed into the golden light, and the black energy collided violently with the golden light, producing a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

The barrier shattered in just two seconds, but those two seconds were enough for Lu Yuan to create distance.

He knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Two-legged sheep are too strong!!

Really too strong!

This kind of direct confrontation, whether it's Lu Yuan's first attack or defending against the two-legged sheep's attack, requires a large amount of spiritual energy to be consumed each time.

That golden light spell just now almost drained 20% of Lu Yuan's spiritual power.

The difference between the two is too great.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and looked up in the direction of Ningyuan Town. Zhao Qiao'er's figure had already become a small dot.

It's about 100 meters from the town entrance.

Hold on for another thirty seconds.

Just thirty seconds...

"Meow—"

The two-legged sheep also noticed Zhao Qiao'er's departure and understood that they had to do everything they could to kill Lu Yuan.

Otherwise, once Zhao Qiao'er enters the town, it will have no chance at all.

In an instant, the two-legged sheep stopped fighting with Lu Yuan, and the black aura around them suddenly surged.

The features of that eerie and terrifying face began to distort and shift, eventually splitting open a third eye on its forehead.

A bizarre vertical pupil that is completely black and has no whites!

His vertical pupils opened.

Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine to the back of his head, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Almost instinctively, he fell to the side—

laugh!

An invisible mental shock grazed Lu Yuan's scalp.

Behind them, on the old tree that was as thick as two people could hug, a cut half a foot deep appeared on its trunk, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at this scene, his scalp tingling.

This beast actually had such a deadly move hidden!

If it had been half a second slower, it wouldn't be the tree trunk that's being cut open now, but your own head.

Seeing that its first attack had missed, the two-legged sheep's vertical pupils once again focused on black light.

That's too late.

Lu Yuan knew he couldn't dodge the second attack.

He gritted his teeth and held the magic sword horizontally in front of him, preparing to take the blow head-on!

Just withstand this one blow, that's all!

Zhao Qiao'er is safe now, only a few dozen meters from the town. Lu Yuan will retreat immediately after taking that hit!

but……

Clearly, Lu Yuan underestimated the two-legged sheep's killer move.

No, it's not an underestimation; it's just that the gap between the two is truly as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

Even though Lu Yuan poured all his spiritual power into the magic sword in his hand, causing it to glow a dazzling crimson red, but...

When the two-legged sheep unleashed its powerful strike...

The magic sword in Lu Yuan's hand lasted for less than a second before it exploded. This magic sword, which had been with Lu Yuan for more than a year to slay demons and monsters, was then destroyed.

As the magic sword blocking his way shattered, Lu Yuan felt a tremendous force slam into his chest.

It was as if he had been hit by a bull running at full speed; Lu Yuan was instantly sent flying backward!

It rolled more than ten meters through the forest, breaking countless low saplings, before finally crashing helplessly to the ground.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's mind was blank, his body was like a lump of mud, and he could no longer muster any strength.

This blow completely destroyed his control over his body.

Forget about getting up and running away, even moving a finger has become a luxury.

It's over... It's over...

This...it seems like I'm really going to die...

Lu Yuan tilted his head weakly, his vision blurred as he looked into the distance.

Zhao Qiao'er... should have already run into town...

Because the two-legged sheep didn't chase after him anymore, but instead dragged its resentful and twisted steps toward him.

The black aura surrounding it grew thicker and thicker, clearly preparing for its final, and most thorough, blow.

It's really over...

Even if there were incredibly powerful treasures in the system space, he would be powerless to retrieve them.

despair.

Utter despair overwhelmed him like icy seawater...

However, just when Lu Yuan thought he was doomed.

The two-legged, human-faced sheep that had been closing in suddenly stopped.

An unprecedented fear was revealed in its eerie eyes.

From some unknown time, a strange red tide surged around us, like blood... no, that was blood!

The strong, pungent smell of blood filled Lu Yuan's nostrils.

Blood, endless blood, is surging in from all directions, turning this mountain forest into a sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, a line of scarlet words suddenly appeared before Lu Yuan's eyes.

Name: Gu Qingwan

[Type: Ghost Bride]

[Cultivation Level: Ominous]

[Weakness: Unfavorable]

Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★★★

Lu Yuan: "??????"

How many...how many stars?!
