C208 Snow Charcoal

The runes engraved on the wooden tablet were all glowing with a golden light, as the runes on the wooden tablet circulated on the surface, as if it had a life of its own.

Chen En stood solemnly on the ground as he chanted the mantra and incantations of Taoism.

The evil ghost was trapped in the formation created by the wooden tablet and had nowhere to hide. The flesh that had just formed on its body was instantly melted by the scorching yang energy and turned into pieces of black mist.

The evil spirit screamed as it tried to escape, but it had nowhere to run. The golden light continued to evaporate the evil energy in its body.

However, the golden light array that Chen En set up was not formed by a real Taoist magic tool, so its power was much weaker. Moreover, in the dense Miasma, the peach wood tablet's erosion speed was also very fast.

Seeing that the golden light array was about to have a flaw, Chen En quickly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out the essence blood that he had cultivated for many years to increase the power of the golden light array.

This mouthful of blood essence was as positive as it could be. The golden light formation that was about to collapse immediately disappeared.

The general's evil spirit let out a bloodcurdling shriek. More than half of the body of the general that had been carried out of the tomb had been absorbed by the yang qi. Only his upper body remained.

The evil spirit had a weak soul to begin with. Now that it had been refined like this by the yang energy, its strength had already been reduced by more than half.

However, it was unwilling to die just like that. After all, it had been tortured for a long time, and its resentment had already been gathered to a deep point. It really wanted revenge.

The evil spirit gathered all its strength and fiercely crashed into the golden light array with a desperate stance.

Chen En was greatly alarmed. He knew that the remaining power of the golden light array he had set up could not withstand a single strike from the evil spirit. If it really hit the golden light array, it would collapse in an instant.

However, Chen En had no other choice. The disparity in power made it impossible for him to eliminate this evil spirit. He could only rely on the power of the formation to fight it.

Chen En raised all of his power and took out a golden character rune from his chest pocket. He chanted an incantation and his finger touched the blood on his tongue as he pointed it at the rune.

"Hu!"

The incantation was immediately set ablaze. An incomparably vast and powerful aura was being emitted from it.

This was the Pure-Yang talisman that Old Taoist had personally set up when the sun was at its highest in the sky. Old Taoist was afraid that Chen En would not be able to deal with this evil ghost in the future.

This talisman was one of the most overbearing talismans in the world. When used, it would be able to burst forth with an extremely powerful masculine energy in a short period of time. It was the nemesis of all evil spirits in the world.

However, there were great disadvantages to using this talisman. Those who had a high cultivation base could completely lose their ability to use it for a short period of time, up to a few months and at least a dozen days. For those who only used this talisman, the most severe cost was losing their lives.

It could be said that the rune was a move that injured the enemy one thousand times and injured itself for eight hundred times. So, unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen En did not want to use the rune.

And this moment, was precisely the moment when he was absolutely forced to do so.

He formed a spell with his hand and absorbed the Supreme Yang Qi from the Charms of Pure Yang into his body. Immediately, he felt as if he was the descendant of a master from a sect. His body was filled with a masculine aura that restrained evil.

The general's evil spirit collided violently, shattering the golden light array formed by countless golden words, and ferociously pounced towards Chen En.

Chen En's hand became a sword finger in front of his chest. He calmly looked at the incoming evil ghost. His eyes were calm, as if there were endless stars in the universe flowing within them.

His sword fingers gently pointed at the evil ghost that was pouncing towards him. The evil ghost was restrained in the air by some sort of force, and no matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free from the restraining force.

"Pfft …!"

Chen En, on the other hand, spat out a mouthful of blood due to the excessive erosion from the Yang Qi.

His own cultivation was not yet able to freely release the Charms of Pure Yang. If he forcefully used it, his body would inevitably suffer a backlash from being unable to withstand the extreme Yang energy.

Chen En spat out a mouthful of blood and the power that was binding the General's Evil Ghost was greatly reduced. The Evil Ghost knew that he was no match for Chen En at that moment so it spun in the air and wanted to escape.

Chen En had used his last trump card, so how could he let it escape? He pointed with his sword and shouted, "Heavenly Lightning Earthen Fire, behead the ghost and exterminate the evil, come!"

Following his shout, a thunderous explosion came from the sky.1

The thunder fell from the gray clouds and struck the general's evil ghost with a "pa" sound.

"Hu …!"

The golden flames instantly wrapped around the general evil ghost, completely trapping it within the flames.

The general evil ghost let out a mournful scream. When that scream reached Chen En's ears, he felt as if his heart was trembling.

This general evil ghost was also known as the cycle of karma. When he was alive, he had killed countless people, but after he died, he was designed to be trapped in a tomb chamber, tortured day and night, unable to reincarnate.

This was a karmic retribution. If one day he was able to escape this trap and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, he might even be able to reincarnate into an adult in his next life.

However, he lost himself in that torment, and in the end became the fiendish devil of this world. He even attempted to break out from that trap, becoming a calamity.

At that moment, Chen En watched as the general's evil spirit was slowly burnt away by the golden flames. A hint of disappointment appeared in his heart.

The golden flames disappeared along with the general's evil spirit, and the abnormal phenomena caused by the general's evil spirit breaking out of the trap had also slowly returned to normal.

The power of the Pure Yang Symbol inside Chen En's body dissipated. He knelt on the ground, as if he had lost all of his strength.

After that, the incident caused by the military grave gradually calmed down, so Chen En did not leave. On one hand, he had lost all of his ability, and he did not have the intention to continue wandering around; on the other hand, he was afraid that there would be more troubles here and he wanted to stay.

"Old man, I have been disrespectful to you before. Please forgive me."

When Jiang Chen heard this, the admiration in his heart rose involuntarily.

This old man was a true chivalrous person. For the sake of the lives of the villagers, he had almost died at the hands of the general evil ghost.

In the end, he had eliminated that evil ghost, but he had lost all of his cultivation and could no longer exorcise evil spirits or defend his Dao. To someone in his sect, this was even worse than killing him!

"Ha!" Heh! It's fine, I'm already very happy if you can believe it. After all, if this were to be known, very few people would believe it! Modern people no longer believe what I have said. In their eyes, this is nothing more than feudal superstition. "

The old man waved his hand with a rare smile on his face.

"Elder Chen, then is the reason behind the current problem in Bai Family Old House, because of the hidden danger that was left in the tomb back then?"

Jiang Chen continued.

Although dozens of years had passed, the influence of the General's Evil Spirit on that place must have been great. Otherwise, the problem wouldn't have persisted until now.

"Yes, and no."

Chen En shook his head and sighed, "Actually, it's a very sad thing. Although the general evil spirit was killed by me, but that place has been eroded by the resentment of the evil spirit for a long time, so I stayed here to avoid any more problems. After all, it's very easy to gather evil spirits and ghosts in places with extreme yin energy."
