The flaking plaster on the walls fell off in patches.
Great clumps of black hair emerged from the walls, like a black river, rushing fiercely towards the four people in the building.
The scene was horrifying beyond belief.
Who would have thought that there would be hair hidden inside the walls!
No, it's not right!
It didn't look like hair; it looked more like some kind of roots, densely growing out from within the walls.
"What the hell is this?"
Tianyuan and Kudeng, whose magic power was depleted, were shivering with fear. They had encountered many ghosts in their years of cultivation, but they had never seen anything as terrifying as this.
"Run!"
Lu Fei shouted and bolted down the stairs.
Huzi followed closely behind.
There's no time to think about these things now; saving our lives is the top priority.
After fighting for most of the night, their magic power had already been depleted, and the black hair with such overwhelming yin energy was far beyond what they could handle.
"Wait for us!"
Tianyuan and Kudeng stumbled along, following in panic.
Wall dust was floating everywhere, and those things that looked like either black hair or roots kept surging out from the walls, cascading down like a waterfall.
They rushed across the ground, closely pursuing their footsteps.
The flashlight flickered urgently.
The four of them were running for their lives in the stairwell. Tianyuan and Kudeng, with their depleted magic power and unhealed injuries, naturally couldn't keep up with Lu Fei and the other's speed, gradually falling further and further behind.
"Manager Lu, wait for us!"
Kudeng, with his body shaking and running out of breath, shouted for help loudly.
Tian Yuan gritted his teeth and gazed expectantly at Lu Fei's back.
Lu Fei didn't turn around, but threw out two ghost-sealing characters.
The ghost-sealing characters landed in the black hair, immediately igniting a faint flame that burned the ring of black hair trailing behind their feet to ashes.
The two managed to escape.
However, more black hair soon surged forward.
Lu Fei would throw out two ghost-sealing characters every now and then, slowing down the advance of the black hair.
Stumbling along, the four of them finally reached the first floor.
Turning the corner, they saw the front door.
Hope was right before their eyes.
But Lu Fei and Hu Zi suddenly stopped, their expressions grave.
Tianyuan and Kudeng were instantly numbed when they saw it.
The originally open door was now tightly shut, and the long-haired female ghost slowly floated down from above.
Her broken hair had regrown, now trailing down to her feet, and her shattered body had been repaired.
At this moment, she exuded an overwhelming aura of Yin, her hollow eyes coldly staring at everyone.
There seemed to be a hint of regret in her gaze.
Regret as if looking at the dead.
"This female ghost is incredibly powerful, probably already a vengeful spirit!" Kudeng lamented inwardly.
In just a few minutes, not only had the female ghost fully revived, but she had also become even more formidable.
If he had known that the vengeful spirit was this powerful, he would have been more cautious from the start.
It's all because of Tianyuan, who was overconfident and careless. Now, he has brought great misfortune to everyone!
"No way! When we fought before, it wasn't this powerful... How could this be?" Tianyuan's eyes were wide open, in disbelief.
Ahead, a vengeful spirit blocked their path, and behind them, a torrent of long hair chased after them.
They were now caught between a rock and a hard place.
Could it be that they were really going to die in this haunted building?
"You block the hair from behind, I'll deal with the vengeful spirit!" Lu Fei made a quick decision and threw three ghost-repelling characters towards the back.
"What are you standing there for? If you have any magical artifacts, use them now!"
"I've already used my life talisman, I really have nothing left." Tianyuan pushed Kudeng hard, "Kudeng, do something!"
"This, this…..."
The ghost-repelling characters wouldn't last long. Kudeng gritted his teeth, took off the prayer beads around his neck, and ruthlessly threw them at the black hair like a wave.
The prayer beads scattered as they hit the ground, forming a line, emitting a faint golden light, temporarily blocking the black hair.
"Manager Lu, I can hold out for no more than three minutes!"
Kudeng shouted, drenched in cold sweat.
"Alright!"
Time was pressing. Lu Fei and Huzi, already holding their ritual implements, charged at the long-haired evil spirit.
The evil spirit's face suddenly turned menacing, its long black hair swirling, carrying a fierce icy wind, rushing straight at the two of them.
"Take this first slash from your Uncle Hu!"
Huzi was the first to leap up, relying on his martial arts trained since childhood, he swung his broad-bladed ghost-head saber, fiercely cleaving at the incoming black hair.
The bundle of black hair snapped abruptly, but immediately, new strands of black hair swept over.
Lu Fei was right by Huzi's side, and seeing this, he immediately struck out with his staff at the black hair.
Blue electric sparks flickered, tracing along the black hair towards the evil spirit.
The power of lightning contained within the thunderstruck wood is the nemesis of all evil spirits and ghosts, even the fierce ghost before them.
The fierce ghost was slightly startled, its black hair instinctively retracting.
"Huzi, don't let it go back," Lu Fei shouted immediately.
"Got it!"
Huzi shifted his feet, the large blade rotating swiftly. He risked entangling the black hair around the blade, firmly restraining it, preventing it from being retracted for a moment.
The hair instantly became taut as a bowstring.
Lu Fei infused more spiritual energy, striking with his staff with all his might.
Boom!
The lightning darted like tiny dragons through the strands of hair, quickly spreading to the body of the fierce ghost in an instant.
"Ah——"
The female ghost let out a shrill scream, ruthlessly cutting off her long hair, and then suddenly waved her hand at the two people.
A fierce gust of yin wind rushed towards them.
This wind was as sharp as a knife, capable of instantly peeling off one's flesh.
"Huzi, dodge quickly!"
Lu Fei and Huzi threw themselves to either side, respectively.
The yin wind barely grazed past them, tearing their clothes at the shoulders instantly and leaving several cuts on their skin, which began to ooze blood.
Before they could steady themselves, the black hair, like venomous snakes, attacked again.
"Boss, be careful!"
Seeing the black hair coiling around Lu Fei's ankle, Huzi hurriedly rushed over and slashed with his knife.
The black hair around Lu Fei's ankle broke, but he was then ensnared by another tendril of black hair around his body.
The black hair tightly wrapped around him, lifting him up abruptly.
"Huzi!"
Lu Fei, enraged, rolled over and lunged, grabbing Huzi's legs. He channeled the last of his magical energy into the lightning-blasted jujube wood staff and swung it heavily against the black hair.
Boom!
Blue electrical flashes flickered on the first floor.
Strands of hair and ashes fluttered about as Lu Fei and Huzi fell heavily to the ground.
Ku Deng and Tian Yuan stared intently in the direction of the malevolent spirit.
However.
As the dust settled, a thick, chilling aura spread through the air.
In the mist, the female ghost still floated above the doorway, her body though tattered, but strands of dark hair were regenerating at a visible speed.
"Even like this, it can't be killed? How is that possible?"
Everyone's heart sank.
Outside the haunted building.
"Grandpa, where did this fog come from?" Duan Lingyue asked in surprise, pointing ahead.
At some point, a thin layer of mist had risen around the eerie dormitory, gradually obscuring the doors and windows.
They could not hear any sounds from inside the building, and they did not know what was happening.
"It's actually Yin Mist?! Only when the Yin energy reaches a certain level can such mist form!"
Duan Tiankui frowned.
"I clearly set up an array to weaken the Yin energy here. Why is the Yin energy not decreasing but increasing... where is this Yin energy coming from?"
