"Am I too suspicious?" Xiang Nan frowned.
Nowadays, Xiang Nan was already very cautious. If he didn't know how to take a cut and learn a lesson, then no one would be pitiful even if he died.
He immediately cast his lightning-like eyes, and a flash of lightning flashed through his pupils, focusing on observing the ghost sculptures.
Looking at it, he felt relieved. Those sculptures were stones, and they were solid stones. Other than that, there wasn't even the slightest bit of excess.
Not to mention the fluctuations of Essence and Demonic Qi.
"No problem, I was too overly concerned." Xiang Nan patted Meng Die on the shoulder and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Meng Die obediently shook her head and said, "No …"
Creak
Before Meng Die could utter the word "hungry", another strange sound came from behind the two of them.
This time, even Dream butterfly could hear it clearly, and her expression instantly changed.
Xiang Nan turned around and saw that there was nothing strange behind him. It was just the sculptures and the broken walls, but it seemed that something was wrong.
He shook his head and was about to turn around to ask Dream butterfly, but when his head had just turned back, and only half of it, his entire neck stiffened.
Xiang Nan's expression changed abruptly. He turned his head back with difficulty. With this look, he immediately took two steps back and said, "Holy shit! I've really seen a ghost!"
He finally realized something was amiss.
The reason for that was because those sculptures had all lowered their heads at the beginning, but now, when they looked over, all of the sculptures had raised their heads! Moreover, their faces were all aimed at Xiang Nan and Dream butterfly !
Such a strange scene caused Xiang Nan to have goosebumps.
"Ah! The talisman has lit up!" Dream butterfly hurriedly pointed at her chest. She opened her outer garment and saw a sparkling light within it.
Creak … creak
At this moment, the sculptures all stood up.
These things had strange legs, they looked like dog legs, and their knees were turned backwards.
On their faces, there was a nose the length of a finger, and their fangs flickered with cold light under the moonlight.
"What is it? Pretend to be a ghost!" Xiang Nan slanted his greatsaber and slashed down at a sculpture.
The sharp lightning saber light illuminated several city walls. Those strange sculptures all soared into the sky, flapping their large black wings one after another. They floated in mid-air, looking down at Xiang Nan and the other from above.
One of the ghosts rushed down from the sky and let out a cry similar to that of a baby crying.
Xiang Nan slashed forward, and the ghost used its sharp claws to firmly grasp the blade. Its sharp claws rubbed against the blade, making a grating sound.
"Such great strength?" Xiang Nan was shocked
The ghost actually flapped its wings and flew upwards, wanting to snatch away Xiang Nan's giant saber. Fortunately, the giant saber's grip was shaped like a dragon claw and was already wrapped around Xiang Nan's arm. This snatch was not able to snatch it away.
Xiang Nan pointed his left hand at the ghost's forehead and pointed at Mo Ke's power.
The flame finger hit the ghost, knocking its head backwards and dropping some rubble.
Xiang Nan took back the huge saber and leapt into the air, cleverly slicing the strange man in half!
But at this moment, an even stranger scene appeared. The ghost that had been split in half was actually automatically connected together and flapped its wings as it flew away.
Immediately after, numerous ghosts and monsters swooped down together in the darkness.
"What the hell?" Dream butterfly was shocked, "Are these things immortal?"
She hurriedly raised the talisman. The holy light emitted by the talisman immediately caused the ghosts to chuckle and emit large amounts of black smoke.
These ghosts hurriedly flew back high. After circling a few times, they seemed to be sure that the talisman wouldn't harm their lives, so they pounced down again.
"Yang Flame Saber Technique!" Xiang Nan held the huge saber horizontally and made a posture of drawing the saber.
As the ghosts approached, he swiftly drew out his saber. In an instant, he slashed thirteen times in a row. In a second, he slashed thirty-nine times!
Thirty-nine sharp lightning saber lights shot into the sky, turning into a fan-shaped light.
The ghosts shrouded in the saber light were all cut into pieces and fell to the ground.
However, the rubble quickly healed and continued to gather together to form new ghosts.
"Run!" Xiang Nan took advantage of the fact that the ghosts hadn't completely healed, and grabbed the Dream butterfly and sprinted wildly.
After the two of them ran for a distance, the ghost behind them had already flapped its wings and started chasing after them.
"Eh? There's a pavilion shining there!" Meng Die pointed to the left.
Xiang Nan simply hugged her in his arms and dodged into the pavilion two times in a row.
This was a very small pavilion. There was only a simple stone table and four stone stools inside. The pavilion was octagonal in shape and had a blurry diameter of about four meters.
However, strangely enough, the entire pavilion emitted a hazy layer of white light.
After the ghosts chased after the pavilion, they didn't dare to approach it anymore. They all circled around the pavilion.
The battle between Xiang Nan and the ghosts had attracted even more ghosts from afar. For a moment, the sky outside the pavilion was filled with dark ghosts, and black wings fluttered and flapped everywhere.
At this moment, Xiang Nan and Dream butterfly seemed to be in hell.
In the dark world, apart from this small glowing pavilion, everything seemed so unreal.
At this moment, a dazed dot of light appeared in the darkness. The dot of light was getting closer and closer, but it was a lantern.
The one holding the lantern was a woman wearing strange clothes.
"Someone?" Dream butterfly hid in Xiang Nan's arms and said, "There are actually people in this kind of place. Why don't those ghosts attack her?"
As she spoke, the woman walked closer and closer, and her mouth emitted waves of creepy laughter.
This kind of laughter was terrifying. It was like the cry of a baby, the scream of a woman, the scream of a man, and the groan of an old man mixed together.
When the woman walked near the pavilion, both Xiang Nan and Meng Die felt their scalps go numb!
Because they saw the woman's face.
That woman had no face at all. Her face was only flat, only a huge crescent-shaped mouth, like a crack.
The corners of their mouths were raised high to their ears.
The "woman" tilted her head and suddenly let out a terrifying scream towards the pavilion.
"Zha!!"
Hearing the cry, Meng Die's ears bled and she jumped out of Xiang Nan's embrace. She walked out of the pavilion in a daze.
Xiang Nan felt dizzy, as if countless insects were crazily drilling through his mind.
He grabbed the Dream butterfly and shouted in a low voice, "Nine Purities Cosmos Art!"
The circulation of the cultivation technique made Xiang Nan feel much better. He took out Dream butterfly's talisman and stuffed it into her mouth.
Meng Die was in a trance for a moment, and her eyes finally regained their clarity.
