1214 Lost his only chance
Xue Ping's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that the ghost would dare to attack her in the presence of Perfected Wei. Her lips trembled as she screamed, "Perfected Wei! Help me! Help me! They are trying to kill me." Although Perfected Wei felt that Xue Ping was baggage rather than a partner, he knew that if he wanted to get what he wanted he needed Xue Ping to be alive. He immediately bit his thumb and drew an array in the air before raising the peach wood sword and using its tip to aim the array at the ghost.
The array glowed with eerie red sparks and current as it rushed towards the ghost. It immediately released smoke as if it had been burned by fire when the array touched the malicious ghost but because of the protection seal, the malicious ghost was not harmed. It howled in resentment and continued with its attack. It swiped its hands at Xue Ping who had her back turned on the malicious ghost while trying to run, causing blood to spill as her back was slashed by two ghostly claw-like hands. Xue Ping was already scared when the ugly and hideous ghost made its appearance again in front of her. However, when the malicious ghost attacked her when she was trying to run from it, Xue Ping's eyes widened as she screamed in pain. She fell on the ground and weakly crawled to Perfected Wei before she bawled with a pale face, "Perfected Wei, help me! Help me! She is killing me, she is trying to kill me." "Shut up!" Perfected Wei snarled at the woman who was crying as if she was already dead. The protection shield on the malicious ghost was even more tricky than he thought, what was more, he did not have much time. He could feel his arrays weakening, if this goes on then he would be the one suffering a loss. When Xue Ping heard Perfected Wei's scoldings, she was really upset but she did not dare to lose her temper at Perfected Wei. She was afraid that if she lost her temper with Perfected Wei, the latter would abandon her, if Perfected Wei left then that malicious ghost would kill her. She didn't want to die! She did not want to die at the hands of that malicious ghost.
While Xue Ping was shaking with fear, Perfected Wei looked at the raging grudge of the malicious ghost. He could also sense the change in the grudge field around him, the ghost was trying to trap them and suck the Yang energy out of them. However, it was hesitating as there were four innocent humans inside the warehouse. If not for the four men, this malicious ghost would have killed him. However, Perfected Wei was not angry in fact he was really excited. It was really rare for a ghost as this smart to cross his path. If he could make this malicious ghost as his servant then he would be able to raise his cultivation and he would no longer be the twelfth pillar in the thirteen pillars. He would be able to rise quickly and suppress all those who looked down on him especially that Perfected Lin. She had always stared down at him with contempt as if she was looking down at an ant whom she could kill at any moment. Greed blinded his eyes and Perfected Wei decided to use his biggest move. He used the peach wood sword to cut his hand and then he covered its blade with his blood. After he was done, he closed his eyes and started chanting a spell. Perfected Wei's chanting caused the air around the warehouse to rise and fall before it started to whirl around Perfected Wei's feet in circles of all kinds. Whether it was small or large, they rolled around his feet causing dust to rise. "You vile creature, I will teach you a good lesson," he sneered as he pressed the heel of his palm at the base of the peach wood sword and then instilled his spiritual energy while pointing the tip of the sword at the sky. Thunder and lightning clapped in the sky and came down heavily on the malicious ghost. The power of Perfected Wei's thunder-lightning array was still not comparable to Song Yan. However, he was still strong and at the base of the tenth level of spiritual cultivation. He was able to control the airflow and trap the malicious ghost in a cage such that it would not be able to escape. The malicious ghost let out a howl, and its blood-curdling scream filled the warehouse. And its resentment surged even more. Perfected Wei was sure that the malicious ghost was harmed greatly, but when the smoke and cloud of dust and wind vanished, he saw the malicious ghost glaring at him angrily. Its bloodshot eyes were staring at him with murderous intent, though it seemed to be smoking the malicious ghost was unharmed. "Impossible!" Perfected Wei shouted, he couldn't believe that the protective spell could actually protect the malicious ghost to this extent! He was about to attack the malicious ghost again because he knew that even if he did not harm this malicious ghost this time around, the protective spell only had one more chance to save its rotten skin. If he dealt with this time the malicious ghost would be exorcised. Even if it was not exorcised, it would be too injured to make a move again.
However, the malicious ghost also knew that the protective shield around it had weakened. It roared at the top of its lungs before hiding back in a dark corner making it impossible for Perfected Wei to hurt it anymore. When Perfected Wei saw that the ghost had vanished, his expression twisted, he wanted to lure the ghost out once again but then he sensed a surge of yin energy that was getting closer to him. His expression if possible twisted even more. Now he had no time! He had to snatch whatever he could now.
