The lights in the villa had long been extinguished, leaving only two flickering emergency lights.
The Taotie Ghost continued to swell, its head now as large as half of Bai Zhuo's body, resembling a giant elephant. The small mouth on its face made it even more terrifying. This Taotie Ghost had the ability to touch Underworld entities even when it was under control, and now that it had broken free, it seemed to show signs of materialization, its power astonishing!
Bai Zhuo felt a wave of retreat wash over him. He was merely a part-time Yin-Yang master, and this horrifying creature was far beyond the realm of ordinary ghosts; it likely had nearly a thousand years of cultivation!
Despite its enormous size, the Taotie Ghost remained incredibly agile. It circled Bai Zhuo a few times like a fierce tiger preparing to pounce. Bai Zhuo rolled away just in time to narrowly avoid the attack. The black malevolent energy from the Taotie Ghost dripped onto the floor like saliva, sizzling and corroding large patches of the wooden surface. The Taotie Ghost let out a laugh that was neither male nor female: "Become a part of me! Ha ha ha!"
Bai Zhuo scrambled to his feet and ran toward the kitchen, shutting the sliding door behind him.
"Woo woo woo... I will consume your soul and devour your flesh! Hahaha! Did you think hiding in here would help? You’re just trapping yourself... Hahaha!" the Taotie Ghost taunted.
In the kitchen, there was a bowl of Black Dog Blood that had yet to be taken out. Bai Zhuo hurriedly smeared some of the blood on his hands and began to draw on the glass sliding door. Within moments, an uneven Blood Light Curse Seal resembling twisted characters appeared on the glass.
After finishing, a wave of dizziness hit him; this was a sign of overexertion for a Yin-Yang master. There was no time to rest as Bai Zhuo quickly formed Hand Seals and shouted, "Heavenly Sunlight, Rising Sun in the East, my Blood Command Talisman, sweep away misfortune with this exorcism command! Benevolence protects me, Protect Me, Ding Chou, benevolence guides me... conceal and hide, Urgent Command." This was actually a dual Curse Seal!
To have both an exorcism spell and a protective spell drawn on the same surface while both were effective was simply unbelievable. Was Bai Zhuo really just a part-time Yin-Yang master?
The blood symbol Curse Seal on the glass sliding door glowed brightly, and with a hum, Bai Zhuo's world fell silent; he could hear not a single sound from outside. He watched as the massive Taotie Ghost repeatedly slammed against the glass door but was continually repelled by the magical power of the blood symbol Curse Seal!
Finally able to catch his breath, Bai Zhuo collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air.
"Am I really going to die here? I refuse to accept it!" Bai Zhuo muttered to himself. "I'm still a virgin, damn it! I can't just die like this..." He pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts, the only number he could call was Elder Ge's. With a desperate hope, he dialed the number.
"Bang! Bang, bang!" The Taotie Ghost kept slamming against the sliding door, making the entire room tremble.
"Cough!" In less than a minute, a crack appeared in the glass door of the kitchen, threatening to shatter at any moment! Bai Zhuo was drenched in cold sweat; he had already used his strongest spells and had no more tricks up his sleeve.
"Hello, who is this?" At that moment, Bai Zhuo's phone connected! He excitedly answered, "Hello, Elder Ge! It's me, Bai Zhuo!"
"Bai Zhuo? Oh, it's you. Although you haven't paid respects to your ancestors recently, just call me Master for now. Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Master, it's urgent! What is the weakness of the Taotie Ghost?"
"What? The Taotie Ghost? You’re going to die! How did you encounter a Taotie Ghost? Where are you? Hold on, I'm coming right over!"
"I'm at Building 18 in Liangye District Phase Two. Master, please tell me its weakness!"
"Its weakness is its eyes, located under its armpits. But just hitting its eyes..." Elder Ge was still talking, but Bai Zhuo didn't have time to listen anymore. The Exorcism Talisman spell finally couldn't withstand the Taotie Ghost's attack; the sliding door shattered into pieces. Bai Zhuo rolled forward beneath the Taotie Ghost and was met with a horrifying sight.
Its four eyes were as large as fists, embedded under its armpits. Its abdomen was covered in a mass of faces—at least twenty of them! These faces were twisted and grimacing, exuding an eerie presence. As Bai Zhuo rolled past its belly, the four previously closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and those faces followed suit, all glaring menacingly at him.
Bai Zhuo escaped from beneath the Taotie Ghost but was horrified by what he saw and gagged repeatedly. Just imagine how terrifying it would be for over twenty faces to be on one body!
"Alpaca! This is truly unacceptable! How many people have you harmed to gain such power?" Bai Zhuo gagged again as he cursed while running out of the room. The Taotie Ghost realized its weakness had been exposed; its massive head let out a roar at Bai Zhuo's retreating figure and chased after him with even more ferocity than before, like a wild beast!
"You can't escape! I'm going to eat you!" The Taotie Ghost relentlessly pursued, but Bai Zhuo suddenly turned around, crouched down, and pointed his two fingers directly at its armpit. "All soldiers, advance together!"
"Ahh~" The Taotie Ghost let out a terrible scream as one of its eyes was injured, dark energy continuously flowing from that eye like blood. Bai Zhuo was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, the twenty or so faces on the Taotie Ghost's abdomen all roared in unison, shaking Bai Zhuo back several steps, leaving him stunned.
"I'll make sure you die a miserable death!" The Taotie Ghost suddenly stood upright, towering over two stories high, with more than twenty faces densely packed facing Bai Zhuo. Some were crying, some were laughing. Faced with this grotesque and terrifying sight, even though Bai Zhuo was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.
"Damn it, this thing is about to unleash a big move!" Bai Zhuo's heart raced in panic, but he was immobilized by the sound waves and couldn't move at all!
The Taotie Ghost stood tall, its twenty or so faces slowly closing their eyes as they began to chant towards Bai Zhuo. Surprisingly, the chanting sounded incredibly beautiful, like a choir or a nursery rhyme, reminiscent of the lullabies sung by mothers.
"Yellow Springs Road~ River of Forgetfulness~ Three Life Stone by the River of Forgetfulness. Ghost Gate~ Bridge of Helplessness~ Bridge of Helplessness, Meng Po Soup~" The childlike voices echoed ethereally and melodiously in Bai Zhuo's ears, lingering endlessly.
"So tired... I miss Mommy, I miss Daddy. And my little sister, and Grandpa."
"If you're tired, go down and find them. They are thinking of you too."
"Okay! If I go down, I can see them. It would be wonderful to be together forever! Mommy... Sister!"
Bai Zhuo's gaze became vacant as his soul gradually began to leave his body, his consciousness fading into emptiness. His soul took step after step towards the Taotie Ghost, while the ghost's chanting grew louder and more beautiful. The enormous mouth on the ghost's head opened wide as if it were smiling.
