Xiang Xueer furrowed her brows. Forget it, thinking won't help. She quickly formed hand seals with both hands, bit her finger, and pressed it against the ground. The earth began to crack. She shouted, "Summoning!"
Taotie suddenly appeared from the thick fog. She leaped onto Taotie's back, raised the Crossbow in her hand, and shouted at the surrounding Exorcists, "Shoot the horses before shooting the riders; capture the thief by capturing the king first! Let's take down Bakemono and Thousand Demons first!"
"Okay!" everyone responded in unison. Immediately, the arrows were aimed at Bakemono and Thousand Demons.
"Azure Dragon Slash," "Tiger Biting Double Dragons Storm Break," "Phantom Whip," "Bone-Piercing Nails," "Serpent Whip." Everyone unleashed their ultimate moves, all targeting Bakemono and Thousand Demons fiercely.
"You damn girl!" Bakemono roared angrily, getting kicked off its startled horse. It scanned the surroundings in fury; its Ghost Legion had already fallen to the ground, completely wiped out.
Xiang Xueer sneered, "Surrender! You two are now completely defenseless. Look at your army; they have already been annihilated!"
The victorious Exorcists wore smiles of impending triumph on their faces. At that moment, Thousand Demons suddenly let out a scream as Lan Ran Qingtian shattered its bones with one hand and then shouted angrily, "Exorcism Essence: Tiger Biting Twin Dragons Fist!"
With a 'bang!' a punch landed, shattering the skull. The hollow eyes lost their light; Thousand Demons finally died at Qingtian's hands. Now only Bakemono remained, entirely defenseless.
"What now, Bakemono?" A hundred people surrounded it tightly. Bakemono's facial muscles twitched violently. "Second brother, I will avenge you!"
It suddenly tilted its head back to look at the full moon in the night sky. The rapidly moving clouds began to change color; a dark purple hue started to spread. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Bakemono's mouth as it raised both hands as if chanting, "It's begun; it has finally begun! My Hundred Demon Legion, rise again!"
On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell opened wide. Souls pouring out from hell began searching for bodies to inhabit. White mist began to appear on the ground, and then strange events finally unfolded.
The Ghost Legion that had long been dead at the hands of the Exorcists suddenly opened their eyes and slowly rose from the ground. Their eyes glowed with purple light as they raised their hands in what seemed like celebration for having regained their bodies.
In an instant, the forest was filled with the roars of ghosts and monsters. Xiang Xueer looked up at everything happening around her and finally understood that the monsters they had worked so hard to defeat had come back to life.
"What do we do now?" Li Yunyang looked back in astonishment as that group of resurrected monsters began to surround them, their Black Scythes shimmering with light.
This is truly a big trouble. Xiang Xueer looked at the Exorcists around her. The three hours of forced march, combined with the recent battle against the Ghost Legion, had already drained their stamina significantly, and they bore various levels of injuries.
Qingtian surveyed the surroundings, where countless ghosts surged forward. "Oh no, we are surrounded!"
"My Ghost Legion has been reborn!" Bakemono soared into the air from the ground, pointing at the gate of Ghost Night Village and shouting, "Children from hell, be hungry, kill, be bloodthirsty, go and slaughter everyone in the village!"
"Stop!" Lan Ran Qingtian shouted loudly and quickly ran toward the village entrance. Xiang Xueer found it hard to accept what was happening before her eyes. Li Yunyang shook her vigorously, "Hey, you brat, stop dazing off and think of a way!"
Only then did Xiang Xueer come to her senses. She slapped Taotie and the two followed closely behind Qingtian. "Hold the gate! We absolutely cannot let the ghosts enter the village!"
In war, there are two key elements: strength and momentum. Now, they had lost both. At the village entrance, although everyone had arrived in time to block the entrance, one ghost still managed to rush into the village and was destroying the doors of the villagers' homes with a scythe.
"Oh no!" Xiang Xueer rushed into the village. Suddenly, a wooden door in a villager's house was broken down, and a woman's scream echoed from inside. She quickly chased after it but was already too late; the scene before her left her momentarily stunned.
Blood—there was blood everywhere. A young girl lay in a pool of blood beneath that black scythe, a horrific wound on her neck still oozing blood. In the corner, there was also a seven or eight-year-old girl staring wide-eyed in terror at the approaching ghost.
A surge of hot blood rushed up; every time she saw death or blood, her body would have this strange reaction. She didn't have time to think further and raised her Crossbow, firing several arrows in quick succession as the ghost fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiang Xueer felt a bit lightheaded as she hurried over to the child and asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
The child shook her head but suddenly stared into Xiang Xueer's eyes and began to cry loudly, "You... your eyes are red; you are also a monster!"
"What?" Xiang Xueer rubbed her eyes. After a moment, when the child looked at her again, her eyes had returned to black. She stared at Xiang Xueer in surprise, thinking her own vision had blurred.
This is really troublesome. The wound on Xiang Xueer's hand started to hurt again. What should I do? What should I do? In this situation, what can I do? She had never felt so panicked before; the Exorcists would soon exhaust their strength, and defeat was inevitable. Next would be the citizens of Ghost Night Village—who would help us?
"No! I must do something!" Xiang Xueer swayed as she stood up from the ground and leaped onto Taotie. "Partner, let's go deal with that bastard Bakemono!"
"Are your wounds okay?" Taotie glanced at the blood seeping through the bandages on her back. She had long since stopped caring about that. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I have a feeling that if we can just hold on until dawn, this group of hellish ghosts will definitely leave!"
"You're right. The gates of hell only open at midnight; after dawn, they must return to hell!" Taotie immediately agreed with her. The two of them leaped into the air and, upon exiting the village, quickly spotted Bakemono standing on high ground.
"Everyone must hold on! As long as we make it to dawn, the ghosts from hell will leave!" Xiang Xueer encouraged everyone while charging toward Bakemono.
Li Yunyang gripped the Azure Dragon Sword tightly. "Holding on until dawn is easier said than done. These creatures can't be killed! Look!"
He had just chopped down a ghost when, within seconds, it stood up again. "This is never-ending; it's infuriating!"
Lan Ran Qingtian was already exhausted from overusing the Seven Character Formula. "Even so, we can't give up. We absolutely cannot let the ghost army invade the village. The lives of the villagers depend on us! I don't want to see another tragedy like Exorcism Village happen again!"
"That's right! We must defend Ghost Night Village!" The Exorcists' roar reignited their fighting spirit. The villagers of Ghost Night Village secretly opened their windows, watching the Exorcists bravely battling outside. They were all strangers; why were they risking their lives to protect people they didn't even know?
"Bakemono, come here and face me!" Xiang Xueer leaped off Taotie and quickly drew the dagger from her ankle, aiming a fierce stab at Bakemono's head, which was its weak point.
Bakemono was quick; it dodged her attack effortlessly with a slight movement of its feet. Each fierce motion left Xiang Xueer sweating from pain in her back.
"Hmph! Little girl, I originally wanted to take your life to avenge my two brothers, but I have something important to do now and can't play with you anymore!"
After saying that, it swiftly dashed into the forest. A bad premonition surged in Xiang Xueer's heart: Wasn't this Bakemono trying to invade Ghost Night Village? Could there be something more important than what was happening right now?
