“Guh!” A mouthful of black blood gushed out from his mouth, and if there was daylight, Tang Qinghong would be able to clearly see the lingering black smoke that arose from it.

He wiped his mouth with the back of his hands, his eyes fixed on the malicious cloud of anger in front of him. The vengeful spirit had already taken on a humanoid form, and had been following behind their group the whole time. In order not to bring any harm to the ordinary people, Tang Qinghong had led the vengeful spirit into the woods. However, this thing was powerful, and as much as he didn’t want to admit, he was definitely outmatched here.

 It would be risky if he pushed too hard, and he was clutching a jade charm in his hand. He could crush it anytime he felt that he couldn’t handle the situation… but when he thought about it, he really had no desire to bow his head to that person. He had miscalculated badly this time, having just come out of the legacy base, and had at least seventy percent of his powers sealed. Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to expend so much effort to deal with such a little thing in front of him!

 This mass of black chi was at most at the level of Chi Induction, but because it had no solid mass and was good at illusions, it was the worst possible match he could be pitted against.

 Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes as he saw a figure approaching. Getting a clearer look at the figure’s face, he didn’t have time to smash the jade talisman. He moved quickly, using the last bit of energy he had left to immobilize the vengeful spirit.

 “Why are you here?!” Tang Qinghong shouted at Gu Xiqiao, his brows furrowed deeply, “Hurry and take the chance to run while I can still hold it, otherwise we’ll both die here today!”

 Gu Xiqiao didn’t reply, seemingly ignoring him as she stared at the black mass silently. Thinking that she had been petrified from fear, Tang Qinghong cursed. He forced himself to soften his voice, his tone gentle as he tried again. “Don’t be afraid, turn around and walk straight down the mountain. Don’t look back, and quickly organize an evacuation once you reach the village.”

 His mission was to protect the ordinary people, if he couldn’t stop this thing here tonight, he was afraid it might cause a catastrophe.

 “I’m not afraid,” Gu Xiqiao said suddenly, turning her head to look at him. Her clear obsidian eyes were bright, not the least affected by him at all. “I’m just thinking about how to kill it.”

 Tang Qinghong wasn’t able to react to that, but no matter how flustered he was, it couldn’t overshadow the elegance and noble air that was within him. “What?”

 “Stand still, don’t move.” A pill appeared out of nowhere onto Gu Xiqiao’s palm, and she quickly flicked it into Tang Qinghong’s mouth before he could close it.

 The pill melted in his mouth, though Tang Qinghong couldn’t taste anything from it. He felt like a refreshing wave of water had been poured into his throat, traveling all the way down his body, quickly evaporating into mist inside and flowing through his entire body in an instant. He felt the injuries on his body recovering slowly, the chi that he had exhausted was also returning to him, even the seals that restricted his powers felt looser.

 What kind of elixir was this? To be able to recover chi?

 He lifted his head, and the scene in front of him left him stunned speechless. Not knowing what she had done, the vengeful spirit who managed to attain a humanoid form had disappeared. It had become a black mass of smoke, and it seemed to be thrashing around wildly, consistently crashing into something unseen, stuck in an area and unable to escape.
