Chapter 161: Siege [2]

The normally beautiful and attractive doctor, Xiaomei, suddenly had her eye sockets sink deep into her face, and her skin wrinkled up, as if she had instantly transformed from a blooming young maiden into an old woman in her sixties or seventies.

The tight nurse's uniform that had looked sexy and bewitching just a moment ago now appeared somewhat sickening on Xiaomei.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuxin frowned and said, "There is something unclean on her; it has sucked out the vital essence of a living person!"

Hearing this, Yan Yu quickly commanded the ghost face to activate its Heavenly Eye.

The infirmary was dimly lit, and no one noticed that a third eye had grown on Yan Yu's forehead.

Within the vision of the Heavenly Eye, Yan Yu saw a female ghost clinging to Xiaomei's back. The female ghost had her mouth wide open, almost swallowing half of Xiaomei's head, and her teeth were deeply pierced into Xiaomei's glabella, continuously draining the life force from Xiaomei's body straight into the ghost!

This female ghost was none other than the one Yan Yu had driven out of Li Hu's body just moments ago—she was the mastermind behind all this!

Having now drained the vital essence of an entire living person, the female ghost tossed Xiaomei's corpse to the ground like trash. Her cultivation soared madly, far surpassing her previous level of forty years of power.

Yin energy swept through the entire infirmary, causing the medicine racks on the walls to rattle. The terrifying oppressive force directly shattered the light bulb on the ceiling!

In an instant, the infirmary was plunged into complete darkness.

"Boss, someone is coming to attack from outside, what should we do?" Fatty shouted from outside.

Liu Yuxin turned back and said to Meng Guohui's subordinates, "Hold those guys off and protect Mr. Yan's friends. My younger brother will be here to reinforce us soon!"

"Understood, Dr. Liu!" Meng Guohui's men all drew their weapons and guarded the doorway.

"It seems this female ghost is ours to deal with." Yan Yu grinned.

Liu Yuxin did not dare to let her guard down: "Yan Yu, although I am a disciple of Mount Longhu, I don't know many Daoist techniques."

"Understood, I've got this!"

With that, Yan Yu suddenly rushed forward, throwing a punch into the empty air through the dark!

"Ah—"

With a miserable shriek, a pale blue spiritual body was knocked to the ground by Yan Yu's single punch!

"How can you see me?!" the female ghost cried out in astonishment.

Yan Yu pointed to the third eye on his forehead: "With this here, all evil spirits have nowhere to hide!"

Yan Yu's Heavenly Eye could not only see evil spirits but also possessed night-vision capabilities. With the Heavenly Eye activated, he could clearly see every corner of the infirmary.

Hearing this, the female ghost stopped hiding and prepared for a frontal assault, but instead of facing Yan Yu directly, she flew straight toward Liu Yuxin!

"Dr. Liu, watch out!"

Yan Yu's expression shifted, and he rushed forward, but no matter how fast his speed was, it could not match the flying speed of a ghost.

The female ghost arrived before Liu Yuxin instantly. Only when the two were less than ten centimeters apart did Liu Yuxin see the ghostly face inches away from her!

Terrified, Liu Yuxin stumbled backward, her ten Yin-Yang fingers unable to come in handy for the moment.

Just as the female ghost bared her fangs, preparing to bite Liu Yuxin the same way she had bitten Xiaomei, Yan Yu finally caught up, grabbed the female ghost by the ankle, and forcefully pulled her back!

"You can't stop me!"

The female ghost sneered, her body suddenly stretching out. Although her feet had been pulled by Yan Yu to the other side of the room, her head remained right in front of Liu Yuxin!

Seeing this, Yan Yu immediately shouted: "By decree of Yuqing, command all thy gods. Thunder Supreme Sage, destroy souls and scatter spirits. Thousands of heads severed, ten millions forms sheared. Dare you disobey, and your bones shall turn to dust!"

"Palm-Thunder!"

A flash of golden light illuminated the infirmary, accompanied by a sound like deafening thunder, followed immediately by the screams of the female ghost!

Struck by Yan Yu's Palm-Thunder, the female ghost's body instantly snapped back to its original size as Yan Yu forcefully dragged her back.

"I'll bite you to death!"

Driven frantic, the female ghost didn't even give herself a moment to catch her breath, lunging at Yan Yu with her still-gaping mouth!

"Mr. Yan, watch out!" Liu Yuxin quickly made her move. Ten strands of thread woven from Yin energy coiled around the female ghost's neck like pythons, forcibly preventing her from biting Yan Yu!

"Hehe, Dr. Liu, our teamwork is quite pleasant!" Yan Yu laughed.

With one pulling the ghost's ankle and the other pulling the ghost's head, even a fierce ghost with over forty years of cultivation was restrained for the moment. Following this, Yan Yu only needed to execute any random Daoist technique to blast the female ghost into scattered smoke and dust.

Liu Yuxin also let out a sigh of relief.

As she stepped back, she suddenly felt as though she had bumped into someone. Turning around, she saw a golden mask appear before her eyes.

"Liu Yuxin, I wasn't coming after you, yet you delivered yourselves right to my doorstep!"

"Wei Xian?!" Liu Yuxin's expression changed drastically.

Wei Xian did not give Liu Yuxin the slightest chance, striking the back of her neck with a single palm strike. The frail Liu Yuxin instantly lost consciousness, and the ten threads of Yin energy binding the female ghost vanished as well!

"Dr. Liu!"

Yan Yu's face darkened as he hurriedly released his grip. The female ghost, harboring great fear toward Yan Yu, flew straight to Wei Xian's side the moment she broke free.

" Brat, you've ruined quite a few of our plans!" Wei Xian said in a deep voice.

"Who are you people?" Yan Yu's expression was grim.

Wei Xian did not answer, merely hooked a finger at the space behind him and stepped aside.

Only then did Yan Yu see that the hallway outside was littered with the corpses of Meng Guohui's subordinates, while the fatty and the other two had been knocked unconscious and dumped in a corner.

Wei Xian sneered, "This matter originally had nothing to do with you, but since you insisted on meddling, you can't blame us for being ruthless."

Yan Yu seemed to realize something: "You're the gang that tried to capture Dr. Liu back at the Yuxintang... You're members of the Ghost Valley Cult?!"

"Kid, you've got a sharp mind. Unfortunately, you'll never have the chance to use it again!"

"Attack, kill this brat for me!"

Knowing that Yan Yu possessed extraordinary martial prowess and that even a forty-year fierce ghost was no match for him, Wei Xian issued a direct command, sending out everyone under his control, both human and ghost alike!

In an instant, a massive number of forces flooded into the narrow infirmary!

Yan Yu instantly spun around and overturned a medicine rack, using it as a natural barrier. Wei Xian's subordinates had to climb over the rack to approach Yan Yu, which successfully slowed down their advance.

Taking advantage of the time it took them to cross the obstacle, Yan Yu reached into Xiaomei's medical kit from earlier and grabbed a handful of surgical tools!

Scalpels, right-angle clamps, surgical tweezers, and other instruments flew from Yan Yu's hands like throwing daggers; whenever they left his grip, someone would shriek in agony!

In just a dozen seconds, five or six men in black lay crumpled on the ground. Some clutched their eyes, some their knees, and others their chests—every single one of them had a surgical tool embedded in their body!

While the fallen medicine rack could stop living people, it couldn't stop ghosts. The resilient female ghost made a comeback, bringing along two additional fierce ghosts with twenty years of cultivation as they closed in on Yan Yu!
