Chapter 66

Two sounds spread in the air and reverberated in Mu Yi’s head . The copper lamp wasn’t very useful to him currently . The light of the lamp continued to dim .

Mu Yi’s expression hardened . Xugui was already hard enough to deal with but now a mysterious spirit protector was attacking him too . Mu Yi didn’t really have time to analyze the situation in depth . The doors he walked through had shut behind him .

He was isolated from the outside world inside the hall . Nian Nuer was outside . Mu Yi could only rely on himself .

Mu Yi wasn’t worried before the doors had closed on their own, but he was now aware that Nian Nuer hadn’t followed him . His heart started pounding . He was more worried about Nian Nuer than himself .

He didn’t know what the spirit protector’s motive was for helping Xugui . Nian Nuer would be fine as long as he didn’t die or disappear . Nian Nuer had great mental abilities . She had the potential to become a Ghost King . Xugui would never kill a ghost like her .

Mu Yi felt a bit relieved as the thought crossed his mind . He glanced around . An wind filled with evil intent was blowing, whistling sounds spread through the air, but the wind was unable to get close to Mu Yi . Only the constant clinging sounds were enough to make his heart beat faster .

Mu Yi didn’t know where the clinging sounds were coming from . He hadn’t seen the spirit protector or Xugui yet . A black silhouette suddenly appeared above him .

It was a real ferocious ghost! Mu Yi couldn’t underestimate the ghost even if it had no mental abilities . The ferocious ghost had also appeared precisely when the flame of the copper lamp was at its weakest .

Mu Yi reacted quickly though . White lights appeared in his hand and landed on the ferocious ghost . The white lights dispersed . The ferocious ghost shrieked in fright and dashed away .

Mu Yi threw an evil spirit slaying charm that had forced the ghost back, but he had no time to be happy . Two black hands appeared immediately and grabbed his ankles . Mu Yi couldn’t move after that . He sensed a cold and evil strength surrounding his legs .

Mu Yi couldn’t focus on why the body protection charm didn’t work or why the copper lamp wasn’t effective either . He just took out an exorcism charm and used it on himself . Mu Yi rarely used exorcism charms on himself .

They contained a certain kind of power which could help him focus, however, they also had side effects . Mu Yi was healthy so it didn’t matter too much if he used one occasionally . He just couldn’t do it all the time .

Since he sensed a cold and evil strength penetrate his body, he didn’t hesitate to use one . The exorcism charm started to take effect right away . Mu Yi sensed that the cold and evil strength was dispersing .

He felt his body becoming lighter . He was taken over by a sensation . It felt like he was floating in the wind . He knew without a doubt he was hallucinating . Mu Yi sensed a strange strength surrounding him .

It was as if he was in the middle of crashing waves in the ocean . Mu Yi was struggling because everything was happening so fast . It was rather difficult for him to keep calm .

He didn’t do anything careless . He was convinced that he had to experience such things to become stronger . He would have to deal with these things a first time, a second time, a third time and many more to grow .

Another exorcism charm exploded . Mu Yi moved quickly and broke free from the assassin’s hands . The ferocious ghost he had attacked before came back as soon as he was free . Mu Yi was merciless this time and his mind strength rolled out in waves .

The flame of Mu Yi’s copper lamp flared up . A large fire appeared within the lamp and illuminated the ferocious ghost . The ferocious ghost screamed in agony and started burning . The flame wasn’t real, of course . It was only a void fire .

Mu Yi was able to use mind strength to carry out deadly attacks with the copper lamp . This ferocious ghost wasn’t stronger than Nian Nuer . He burned up without being able to fight and turned to ashes . Mu Yi was amazed by the power of the copper lamp . It was the first time he had really used it to attack .

Mu Yi was very tired after the attack . He also had a headache . If he continued using so much of his strength, he wouldn’t be able to continue using the copper lamp . He turned off the copper lamp after destroying the ferocious ghost to conserve his strength .

Mu Yi wished he could use the copper lamp constantly but it was impossible . The spirit protector and Xugui still hadn’t shown up . However, Mu Yi only had one-third of his mind strength left .

He initially had three five thunders charms, but he had used one to kill Zheng Zicong . He wanted to keep the other two for Xugui and the spirit protector .

He had to be careful since he was low on charms and strength . There was the wind in the hall and all the ghosts to contend with as well . He would need mind strength to use the body protection charms, exorcism charms and evil spirit slaying charms .

He would be like a tiger without teeth if he was left with no mind strength . Killing him wouldn’t be hard . Mu Yi was still at the level of the first difficulty . He could only use mind strength and nothing else .

He had to reach the second difficulty . At that time, a mysterious and precious power would activate within his body . He wouldn’t need to worry about mind strength then because his body strength would be enough for defense .

The ghosts in the room didn’t hesitate or hide away anymore once he turned off the copper lamp . Mu Yi heard the clinging sounds again . He felt as if he had fallen into an ocean . Loud sounds resonated in Mu Yi’s mind . He was slowly falling into an illusion .

He raised his head and saw a gigantic insect . Its tongue was so long it could reach its abdomen . It kept moving its tongue like a snake . It had no head only a tongue and a body .

It looked ferocious and hideous . It was a ferocious ghost with no eyes . Mu Yi saw the ghost . It raised its hands and moved towards Mu Yi . It intended to kill him .

“My child, come to me,” a voice said .

Mu Yi was terrified . He looked desperate and hopeless . At that very moment, someone appeared .
