"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo!"

"I'm so pitiful..."

"I died so miserably..."

The high-pitched cry of a woman grew from small to loud, from distant to near.

It seemed like someone was whispering beside his left ear, blowing cold air.

Causing a burst of chill to instantly spread to his neck, auricle, and other places.

"Who?"

Lou Yi jerked his head around, but saw nothing.

"Playing tricks!"

He silently activated the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique, and the Secret Blood circulated rapidly inside him like fish.

The constant flush of crimson over his skin surface eradicated the coldness thoroughly.

"I died so miserably!"

"Why didn't you come to save me?"

The voice came again, on his right side, making Lou Yi's heart skip a beat, and the rapidly circulating Secret Blood slightly stalled.

On his right side waist, he also felt a chill, as if a piece of ice was stuck on it.

"Huh?"

Lou Yi delivered a vicious punch towards the source of the sound.

'Pa!'

With a force of four to five thousand pounds, it produced a sharp tearing sound, like a large firecracker igniting and exploding in the Deceitful House.

"I died so miserably!" The voice did not weaken in the slightest, and the chill on his body remained.

Such a powerful force had no effect on it?

Could it be immune to physical attacks?

'Pa!'

Lou Yi delivered another punch.

This punch was augmented by Secret Blood, its power surpassing the previous one.

The surface of his fist glowed a bright red, clearly visible in the pitch-black night.

"Ah!!"

The female spirit let out an incredibly sharp scream, and an invisible wave spread out from Lou Yi like ripples in water.

Lou Yi's head felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, leaving his gaze a bit dazed.

The red from the Qi-Blood on his skin rapidly faded away.

In the room, a red old candlestick on the table flew towards Lou Yi's side with incredible speed.

The rusty iron tip gleamed with an eerie black light in the dark, aiming for his carotid artery at the neck, stabbing fiercely!

If it pierced through, even with a martial artist's physical strength, the outcome was likely grim.

At this moment, the purple Treasure Pearl from Qi Bao in Lou Yi's pocket suddenly glowed brightly!

Lou Yi's eyes instantly regained clarity.

Sensing danger on one side, he lunged forcefully to the other side, evading the charged strike of the red candlestick.

'Was it a mental attack?' Lou Yi felt a bit frightened.

If not for wearing Qi Bao's pearl, he might have suffered a substantial loss today.

"Now you'll take one from me!"

"Splitting Mountain!"

Lou Yi got angry and threw a third punch forward.

His chest rose and fell rhythmically, the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique operated at high speed, and the entire right fist turned blood-red, with even a billowing white steam visible coming off it.

'Hu!'

This punch had more force than before, with a sound deep and heavy, like a prehistoric beast's low roar.

At the same time, an invisible energy emitted from the surface of the fist, covering the location Lou Yi sensed the sound.

"Ah!"

The second scream issued, and compared to last time, it noticeably carried a tone of pain and rage.

'Bang!'

Lou Yi's head also took a heavy hit from the sound wave.

This time, prepared and with the presence of the purple Treasure Pearl, Lou Yi did not sink into confusion like before.

Even so, he still felt a splitting headache.

"Get lost!"

Lou Yi was enraged, the Mountain Opening Skill activated again.

His arm turned into an indiscernible black blur, the fist into a Red Agate, and in an instant, he threw five consecutive punches at the source of the sound, each punch utilizing 100% of his strength!

"Ah!"

The ghastly creature let out consecutive screams.

The candlestick that had been suspended in the air also fell to the ground with a 'clang,' clearly heavily injured and unable to control physical objects anymore.

Even its form couldn't be concealed anymore, gradually appearing in the air as a vague white shadow.

The white shadow vanished in an instant, darting towards the direction of a dry well.

"Trying to escape?"

Lou Yi sneered, his right foot stomped fiercely into the ground, causing a deep pit to form instantly in the muddy earth.

At the same time, his body shot like a cannonball behind the white shadow, reaching its rear in no time.

"Die!"

In mid-air, every muscle in Lou Yi's body tensed, his back arched like a bow, his waist like a string, and his right arm like an arrow, delivering a hook punch heavily towards the white shadow!

"Splitting Mountain!"

Lou Yi felt a metallic taste rise in his throat.

This was the consequence of excessively using advanced skills, but in order to eliminate this ghastly creature, he pressed on with force.

"Ah!"

The white shadow emitted a scream, its vague form flickered unsteadily, as if about to be extinguished like a candle in the wind.

However, it managed to withstand, continuing its flight towards the dry well, just one step away from the wellhead.

"Dragon Piercing!"

Lou Yi mobilized Secret Blood to impact the Candle Dragon Acupoint, feeling a tingling in his chest, with his inner Qi-Blood surging forth for a second explosion.

Every muscle in his body visibly bulged, all aligned in one direction, rolling like waves and surging dramatically towards the right arm!

The single punch he had exhausted his strength on birthed a second, stronger force.

This force made Lou Yi's fist itch and swell, as if it would explode without release.

'Boom!'

The punch landed, the air shattered, akin to a thunderous explosion out of the blue.

The white ghastly shadow, about to escape to a safe zone, froze in place.

It expanded and contracted repeatedly, finally exploding with a 'pa', leaving no trace in the world.

Only a white pearl fell into Lou Yi's hand.

This pearl was the size of a longan seed, slightly smaller than the purple Treasure Pearl, emitting a faint glow in the darkness, clearly a treasure.

At the same time, familiar semi-transparent small text appeared: 'Energy +3, absorb it?'

'Yes.' Lou Yi silently chanted in his heart.

This ghostly being increased energy more than an average martial artist or spirit creature.

However, it's also much more dangerous.

If he hadn't mastered the Mountain Opening skill, he might not have made it out of this house.

Lou Yi wiped under his nose, his fingertips stained with red, his brain nearly splitting.

The Mountain Opening skill consumes extreme amounts of energy, overuse can deplete Primordial Qi.

Thus, Lou Yi's appearance was somewhat terrifying at this moment.

Nose bleeding, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, face pale, eyes lifeless, as though he had suffered a severe illness and was not long for this world.

The name column in the Attribute Panel turned from pure green to pale red, with a faint '+' sign appearing behind it.

Expend a bit of energy.

A cool liquid entered his body from the void, quickly repairing his injuries in all limbs and bones...

Having settled the ghastly creature, Lou Yi wasted no more time, heading out of the house.

Just then, his ears twitched, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the silent village, the night wind carried over the faint sound of a distant conversation.

"Hehe, that kid's been fooled inside, should be biting the dust now!"

"Just him alone isn't enough."

"Rest assured, I've already lured three waves of people in, should have worn that grudge spirit down enough, perfect for us to take advantage."

"Nice, you've done well, I'll mention this to the young master."

"Thank you, Master Lei, for the kind words..."
