“Spirit Sword Technique! Inspiration Lotus Bloom!” Xiao Yefeng finally launched his attack against the Guide Spirit Child, wielding the Soul-Severing Black Sword.
At that moment, the Black Sword in Xiao Yefeng's hand resembled a blooming black lotus, its dark petals opening and closing rhythmically, created by the sword light he wielded. In the center of the lotus, Xiao Yefeng stood firm, bracing against a fiery red whirlwind. The tip of the whirlwind collided with the Black Sword, and the scorching waves sought to tear apart his sword lotus.
However, Xiao Yefeng's sword lotus continuously sliced through the whirlwind. Flames and the sword lotus were locked in a fierce struggle, and at that moment, both Xiao Yefeng and the Guide Spirit Child altered their attack strategies.
“Sun Sets, Yin Rises - Yin Soul Ghost Flame!”
Suddenly, the boy who had been in control retreated, allowing Nie Xing's spirit to take over. A different kind of Yin Qi surged forth, enveloping Xiao Yefeng's sword lotus instantly. Unlike before, this attack was corrosive; each strand of Yin Qi acted like maggots gnawing away at Xiao Yefeng's sword lotus.
At this time, Xiao Yefeng completed his transformation as well. The petals of the sword lotus flipped back into place, and it suddenly closed up. Countless sword shadows converged into a single blade as Xiao Yefeng thrust the Black Sword toward the Guide Spirit Child. Facing the approaching Yin Soul Ghost Flame, Xiao Yefeng did not evade but allowed the ghostly flames to corrode him.
Exchanging injury for injury, Xiao Yefeng fought desperately once more. Relying on the power of the Spirit Sword Spell and the sharpness of the Soul Severing Sword, he pierced through the range of the Yin Soul Ghost Flame. As his clothing was corroded by the ghostly flames, all of his hidden spells emerged from within. At that moment, he stood in a corner with his sword, surrounded by a swirling mass of talismans.
This was also why Xiao Yefeng dared to confront head-on. At this point, Huang Ziqiang's spirit regained control and spoke up: “What is your relationship with Mr. Xiao?”
Hearing Mr. Xiao's name made Xiao Yefeng pause; it was not the first time he had heard it. Gong San had previously explained Mr. Xie Mai's reputation to him, and now he heard it again from this person's mouth. Xiao Yefeng replied, “I don’t know what Mr. Xiao is!”
“Impossible! If you don’t know Mr. Xiao, how can you use the Universal Talisman Armor? That’s an ancient skill thought to be lost! Only Mr. Xiao can use it! Hahaha! I understand now; you are that brat from back then!” The man within Huang Ziqiang's spirit raved about things that Xiao Yefeng did not understand; however, he grasped the last sentence—his identity had been exposed.
“What do you mean?” Xiao Yefeng asked.
“Hahaha! Truly blessed! Today I will kill you; what do I need these things for?” With that declaration, the ghostly energy transformed into flying blades of cutting force. The Guide Spirit Child was willing to expend its own spiritual power to eliminate Xiao Yefeng in a reckless manner. It was clear that this attack had diminished at least thirty percent of two Guide Spirit Child’s strength.
However, this was no longer a matter for contemplation; an attack exchanged for thirty percent of power would undoubtedly be terrifying. Holding the Soul-Severing Black Sword, Xiao Yefeng clashed against the incoming ghostly energy with ringing strikes. The invincible Spirit Sword Spell was being drained by this reckless assault, and there was still half of ten minutes left on the clock.
Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to unleash a hidden card once again. He understood that this situation would not be easy to resolve and had long anticipated such an outcome. Therefore, he had prepared a contingency plan. He drew his finger across the blade of the sword, allowing his fingertip's essence to smear onto the Soul Severing Sword. Then, he plunged the sword into the ground and loudly recited an incantation.
"With the two paths of heaven and earth, the flying phoenix turns in the starry sky, troops gather in the position of You and Shen, guarding the gate for peace! Earth Qi, arise!" After finishing the spell, he withdrew the Black Sword, and a surge of yellow-green energy shot up like arrows from a drawn bow, transforming into countless projectiles that struck at the incoming Yin Qi. The yellow-green light erupted for nearly thirty seconds before finally subsiding. Seeing the Yin Qi dissipate in the air, Xiao Yefeng quickly sealed off the breach in the Earth Qi.
The last arrow, as thick as a wrist, struck the Guide Spirit Child. Huang Ziqiang's soul was nearly obliterated by this Earth Qi; however, Xiao Yefeng held back. Otherwise, Huang Ziqiang would have certainly been annihilated by it.
Wounded by the Earth Qi, Huang Ziqiang's spirit exclaimed, "You are ruthless! To invoke Earth Qi as a Geomancer—aren't you afraid that it will ruin the feng shui of this place?"
"Hmph! The Earth Qi expended is merely what I have accumulated over three years. This is Beijing North, where the Huaxia Dragon Vein converges. Do you really think such a small amount of Earth Qi could deplete its essence?" Xiao Yefeng replied.
At that moment, Jiang Xing, who was battling Zheng Chen, noticed the leak of Earth Qi and immediately realized that Xiao Yefeng had taken action. Jiang Xing understood that things inside the ward must have spiraled out of control. The feng shui formation that invoked the Earth Qi had been set up by both of them together. Now that it was activated by Xiao Yefeng, it was clear that the Guide Spirit Child within was fighting desperately. With this thought in mind, Jiang Xing cast a serious glance at Zheng Chen.
"My old friend, I wanted to spend more time with you, but unfortunately, time waits for no one!" Jiang Xing lamented.
"Are you foolish? I've always been suppressing you!" Zheng Chen swept his spear and forced Jiang Xing back once more.
"Northern Emperor's Sealed Earth Lock Spell!" After reciting a series of lengthy spells, Jiang Xing summoned chains that directly bound Zheng Chen within them. Zheng Chen was taken aback as Jiang Xing pulled out a Soul Banner from his robe and captured him within it.
Touching the Soul Banner, Jiang Xing said, "My old friend! I'm sorry for deceiving you; however, it's time for you to reincarnate!"
After stowing away the Soul Banner, Jiang Xing hurriedly returned to the ruins. Upon seeing that all four Apricot Yellow Flags had been destroyed, he was momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, inside the ward, Feng Jiangfeng and his companions worked together to maintain a defensive barrier around the bed to protect it from malevolent spirits. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng and the Guide Spirit Child were locked in an intense battle.
Xiao Yefeng bore multiple wounds on his body with blood seeping out. The Guide Spirit Child had gained the upper hand at this point, launching relentless attacks without giving Xiao Yefeng any chance to counterattack. The reason for this was that during their last exchange of blows, Xiao Yefeng had been struck at a vital point in his heart meridian and could only defend with one hand while wielding his sword.
However, Xiao Yefeng's efforts were rewarded. As Jiang Xing rushed back to the ward, the Purple Thunder Finger unleashed a thundercloud above the Guide Spirit Child. Lightning struck down, paralyzing the unsuspecting Guide Spirit Child and revealing its Ghost Body.
At that moment, the Guide Spirit Child, determined to kill Xiao Yefeng, ignored Jiang Xing's Purple Thunder Finger and continued to reach for Xiao Yefeng with its Ghost Claw. Xiao Yefeng had been enduring this entire time, unable to reveal his gene activation state in front of everyone, which prevented him from maintaining his full combat power. Now that Jiang Xing had returned, Xiao Yefeng felt relieved.
With a twist of his sword, the Condemnation Arc was activated. Xiao Yefeng clashed with Nie Xing's soul once more, and this time his Black Sword pierced through her Ghost Body. Meanwhile, Jiang Xing's shackles locked down Huang Ziqiang and Nie Xing's Ghost Bodies. The power of True Spiritual Power was now evident; although it was slightly weaker than the two children's ancestral spirit power, it was still close enough to effectively restrain the two weakened Guide Spirit Children.
At this moment, Cao Man and Li Xiangjun also returned. Li Xiangjun held a jade slip in her hand, clearly the container for capturing the ghost they had just encountered. Cao Man was simpler; he held a Yellow Talisman glowing with Vermilion Talisman light. After tossing the Yellow Talisman to Li Xiangjun, he approached Xiao Yefeng. Although Xiao Yefeng appeared somewhat disheveled, he was actually fine.
As for the person controlling the Guide Spirit Child, they had long since vanished, leaving only a pair of weak Spirit Child Ghost Bodies behind. The sunlight that had been awaited for so long finally appeared; there were no Crow Crows in the city. However, as the sun rose and shone into the ward, the ghostly veil of night finally dissipated. The ward was in disarray, and so was the area outside.
After a simple bandaging, Xiao Yefeng borrowed an iron shovel and began digging around on the hospital lawn. With the help of the Bagua Mirror, he finally found twelve damaged flags and discovered a rusty copper mirror in the ward directly beneath the two children's room. These four damaged Apricot Yellow Flags, eight broken Battle Flags, and this rusty copper mirror—stained with blood—were arranged to recreate last night's formation.
Li Xiangjun took everything away because she had lost this time. From the three of them, Xiao Yefeng obtained some information about their enemy: the Spirit Guide Children were led by an old rival who was also the leader of a new force. Although they did not know who this person was, if it weren't for Xiao Yefeng's Zhao Yin Gate existing this time, they would have been lost in last night's Illusion Array ruins.
Of course, it wasn't too serious; after all, with their abilities, none of them would die easily. It was just that Li Xiangjun had lost to an old enemy named Ghost Master. This Ghost Master was responsible for formations within the new force and was similar to Li Xiangjun in that she specialized in formations within the Metaphysics Society. This time, Li Xiangjun had fallen into a trap and felt quite dissatisfied.
Naturally, it was Xiao Yefeng who shone brightly by battling against the Guide Spirit Child and holding it back. His feat of instantly defeating four Evil Spirits left Feng Jiangfeng and his companions in awe. However, Xiao Yefeng felt no joy; from the last words of the person controlling the Guide Spirit Child, he understood something important: clearly, the leader of this new force was someone codenamed Azure Daoist—one of those who had plotted against his parents.
Most importantly, through this battle, Xiao Yefeng realized that there was still a significant gap between himself and true powerhouses. He possessed powerful spells that had been lost to time but lacked sufficient cultivation to wield them effectively—much like Sword Lotus; he remembered how his ancestors once used Sword Lotus to slay a Wild Ghost King and could even defeat flying corpses. Yet what could he achieve with his own Sword Lotus?
