“F*ck!”

Song Ankang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Unconsciously, he circulated all the qi and blood in his body and threw out the most powerful punch he could currently muster, the Muscle Injuring Fist. It landed on the lilac girl’s face.

“Boom…”

“You have used the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra. Because of the side effects of the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra, all of your muscles and tendons have been damaged… the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual has taken effect. It is currently absorbing energy from the outside world and is about to transform into a side effect. Please wait a moment!”

However, this punch did not seem to have much effect. Miss Ding Xiang’s ugly face only became a little blurry. There was even some confusion as if she did not understand why Song Ankang would treat her like this.

Could it be that she wasn’t pretty? Or could it be that Song Ankang saw something in the critical moment just now? Otherwise, when she turned around and charmed Song Ankang, she would have been able to devour his Yang qi and blood essence.

When she saw the fear on Song Ankang’s face, she suddenly realized something. She seemed to have been too excited just now and accidentally revealed her true face, allowing Song Ankang to see it.

However, she couldn’t be blamed for this. After all, Song Ankang was so good-looking that she was stunned. It was normal for something to happen accidentally.

After knowing the reason, the lilac girl smiled sinisterly. She no longer concealed her ugly appearance and pounced towards Song Ankang with a strange smile.

Such a good-looking man should merge into one with her!

“Boom…”

Song Ankang went all out, ignoring the warning from the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual. He ruthlessly threw out another punch, accompanied by the pain from every single tendon in his body. The lilac girl was also slightly dazed by the seven wounds. It was clear that the punch was still effective.

It was a pity that the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra cultivated from the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra was not masculine Blood Qi. Otherwise, it would be even more powerful against ghost spirits. However, compared to ordinary cultivation techniques, the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra was quite effective against ghosts. Only some masculine cultivation techniques could surpass the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra.

However, the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra was much more powerful when dealing with demons. Many masculine cultivation techniques could not catch up.

“Ah…”

The lilac girl’s ugly face turned even more hideous upon feeling the burning pain from the seven injuries. She roared and was about to pounce on Song Ankang. Her previous elegance was gone.

If Master Dai Wangshu were to see this kind of lilac girl, he would definitely not be able to write about Rain Alley.

“Boom…”

The third Fist of Injury landed, causing the lilac girl to become more and more blurry. At this moment, Song Ankang had already regained his senses and consciously retracted the attack range of the Fist of Injury. At the same time, he allowed his qi and blood of the Seven Wounds to unleash even greater power.

“Chi…”

Accompanied by a strange sound, the lilac girl’s ugly face seemed to have been poured with hot oil, and it began to emit a grayish-black foul stench. It was so painful that she let out a scream and stopped her attack. The illusions around her also weakened a lot.

With the boost in his spiritual willpower, Song Ankang finally broke free from the illusion and saw the real environment he was in. It turned out that this wasn’t a rain alley but a sewage ditch. Song Ankang had seen it before when he came to the fabric shop, but it was transformed into a rain alley by the female ghost.

Naturally, Ding Xiang did not know about Rain Alley. She had only triggered Song Ankang’s inner thoughts, causing him to fall into the illusion of Rain Alley.

If Song Ankang’s willpower had been stronger, he would have discovered the anomaly and escaped from the illusion in time to seek help from Jiang Yun.

Unfortunately, even though Song Ankang’s spiritual willpower had increased by quite a bit, it was still far inferior to that of lilac girl, who could create a rain alley. He was unable to break free from the lilac girl’s illusion.

Luckily, Lilac Girl was captivated by Song Ankang’s good looks and revealed a flaw. Only then did Song Ankang escape in time and heavily injured lilac girl with three consecutive punches.

Song Ankang, who had used up most of his HP from his seven injuries, turned around and ran away as he looked at the screaming lilac girl. He no longer wanted to see this lilac girl. Soon, he ran out of the range of the illusion and shouted loudly.

“Instructor Jiang, save me!”

Whoosh…

Upon hearing Song Ankang’s cry for help, Jiang Yunhe, who was a hundred meters away, instantly rushed out of the fabric shop and charged towards Song Ankang. He quickly blocked Song Ankang’s path and blocked the charging Lady Ding Xiang.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Facing Jiang Yunhe, who had reached the Internal Realm, Ding Xiang did not have much of a chance to resist. She was beaten by Jiang Yunhe until she fled like a rat.

In Song Ankang’s eyes, even though the Rain Alley had disappeared, lilac girl had regained her beautiful looks. Jiang Yunhe, who was punching and kicking her, seemed to be a little ruthless.

However, Song Ankang, who had seen the true face of lilac girl, did not feel that it was too much. He retreated a few dozen meters further away from her.

“Young master, are you alright?”

At this moment, Qiushi came to Song Ankang’s side and looked at him worriedly. When he saw the blood that seeped out from Song Ankang’s three consecutive punches, his eyes turned red. He took out a handkerchief to wipe it away.

At this moment, Song Ankang also felt the pain. He had been so focused on attacking lilac girl just now that he had forgotten about the pain on his body.

Now that he was out of danger, he finally felt the pain from every part of his body. Fortunately, he did not pass out this time. Perhaps it was because his consciousness and willpower had improved again.

“Hiss…”

Song Ankang fell to the ground in pain. The few shop owners beside him quickly took chairs and medicine to treat Song Ankang. Their concern was obvious.

Qiu Shi carefully treated Song Ankang even though he didn’t think it was necessary. With the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual, these injuries would heal quickly.

However, Song Ankang wouldn’t reject the girl’s kind intentions. He allowed Qiu Zhen to do whatever he wanted and soon, he bandaged some of the wounds.

Luckily, Song Ankang had already reached the entry level of the Hidden Heaven Earth technique’s Hidden Form Stage. Otherwise, Qiu Shi might have noticed that he was a Tendon transformation martial artist.

“Stop crying. It’s not like it’s a big injury. I’ll be fine tomorrow.”

Song Ankang wiped her tears away with a smile. He caressed the girl’s cheek, which was tender and elastic.

“If I had known that Tongxin Town would be so dangerous in broad daylight, I wouldn’t have come here today.” Qiu Shi said regretfully, feeling extremely guilty.

Song Ankang smiled and comforted her. “It’s a blessing, not a curse. Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll bring you guys to Tongxin Town in the next two days. After all, the clothes you wore before are getting more and more uncomfortable.”

“So this is a doomed ordeal. Don’t feel bad about it.”

Qiu Shi finally felt better. She looked at Song Ankang with heartache, wanting to see if he was injured.

The shop owners at the side echoed and comforted Qiu Shi with Song Ankang.

“Young lady, don’t be sad. Son of the Song family is right. Whether it’s a blessing or a calamity, it can’t be avoided. Now that the most filial son of the Song Dynasty has escaped this calamity, things will definitely turn for the better.”

“Actually, we have to thank the most filial son of Song for his filial piety. If you didn’t discover this female ghost in time, who knows how many more of us would have been killed. Little girl, we should thank you and the most filial son of the Song Dynasty.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I didn’t expect a female ghost to be hiding so close to us. She even dares to come out and cause trouble in broad daylight. She’s really too cruel. I’m afraid no one in our entire Tongxin Town can resist her.”

“The strongest person in the town is only at the second level of the Internal Realm. Basically, they can’t stop this female ghost. Only an expert at the fourth level of the Internal Realm like Instructor Jiang can deal with such a powerful female ghost.”
