C419 – Grabbing the Female Ghost
In that instant, Jiang Hao’s unexpected strike left Sun Yunfaang completely off guard.
They had been conversing amicably, or so Sun Yunfaang had believed.
Why the sudden attack?
The Baiqi Killing Sword came swinging down, and Sun Yunfaang’s face contorted in shock. She quickly sidestepped the deadly blade and made a beeline for her sanctuary, the ancient well house.
Jiang Hao’s sword was relentless, clinging to Sun Yunfaang like a persistent maggot to bone. No matter where she fled, the Baiqi Killing Sword was hot on her heels.
“Ah—!”
A scream tore through the air as Sun Yunfaang failed to evade the swift strike. The Baiqi Killing Sword cleaved through her arm.
The moment the blade passed, a searing pain surged, halting the self-repair of her spectral form.
Simultaneously, the substance thwarting her regeneration began to seep into her being, steadily dissolving her ghostly essence.
It was akin to a clump of snow succumbing to flames, melting away.
Ordinary blades were useless against her.
But the Baiqi Killing Sword was no ordinary weapon. It had claimed the lives of countless beings, its aura of death overwhelming, utterly overpowering her.
With a single blow, Jiang Hao had dealt Sun Yunfaang a grievous wound.
Sun Yunfaang gazed at her arm, now being consumed by the sinister red aura.
Lying on the ground, Sun Yunfang gazed at the painting with utter terror.
“What is this thing?”
At that moment, the classical beauty depicted in the painting hanging on the door of the well house stirred to life and stepped out of the canvas!
This classical beauty was none other than Bai Yu!
After visiting this place with the Old Master today, Bai Yu had awakened upon their return.
Having consumed the painting created by Jiang Hao with the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, the Yin Qi that once clung to Bai Yu seemed to vanish, replaced by an ethereal Immortal Qi.
Bai Yu appeared to have set foot on a mysterious path, one that even Jiang Hao could not foresee.
Bai Yu had grown stronger!
Moreover, Bai Yu, now purged of his Yin Qi, was not only impervious to sunlight but could also wield the Confucianism and Taoism powers within Jiang Hao’s painting!
This revelation astounded Jiang Hao.
Yet, since Bai Yu was now bound to him, Bai Yu’s gain in strength was a boon to Jiang Hao himself!
Amidst his astonishment, Jiang Hao felt a surge of joy.
However, this development also presented him with two compelling reasons to pursue a female ghost.
First, he was eager to see if the Baiqi Killing Sword, notorious for its lethal history, could suppress spectral beings.
Secondly, with Bai Yu’s awakening, it was only natural for Jiang Hao to assess the full extent of Bai Yu’s newfound capabilities.
