The Mirror Master

Lu Bai’s eyes blazed. He tossed aside the Peach Wood Sword and shot out his other hand.

Before Luo Ben could strike again, Lu Bai slammed his hand onto his shoulder, putting the force of both his arms into the hold.

Luo Ben grunted, completely pinned to the spot and unable to move!

Even with Ghost Possession allowing him to draw on Ghost Qi, unlocking his latent potential and unleashing power far beyond his own, he was still no match for Lu Bai’s Dragon Elephant Power!

But Luo Ben had long since lost consciousness. Under the Great Ghost’s control, he felt no pain as his entire arm began to twist, the sound of his muscles and bones giving way a sickening series of pops and cracks.

It was willing to break the arm just to escape Lu Bai’s grasp.

At the same time, the Ghost Fire on Luo Ben’s body flared violently, surging toward Lu Bai.

A soul-chilling ghostly wail echoed in Lu Bai’s ears.

"Hmph!"

Lu Bai channeled his Blood Qi to activate the Ancient Mirror. Instantly, a vast, dark, abyssal vortex materialized over his chest, casting an eerie glow over Luo Ben.

"Ah!"

The Great Ghost sensed the terror of the Ancient Mirror’s abyss and let out a shrill scream. It shot out of Luo Ben’s body and fled for the outside.

Even if a Ghostly Creature was a full Realm higher than him, the moment the Ancient Mirror was unleashed, it would flee without a second thought.

Through his Eye of Illusion, he saw a long-haired female ghost in a white dress manifest.

Luo Ben’s body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

With a flick of his foot, Lu Bai sent the Peach Wood Sword shooting out like a streak of dark light.

The white-robed female ghost flickered, easily dodging the Peach Wood Sword. She floated in mid-air, her long hair obscuring most of her face, leaving only a single, lifeless eye that was brimming with malice.

This Great Ghost’s Ghost Fire, speed, and Illusion Techniques were clearly a huge leap above those of a Little Ghost.

Lu Bai gave chase, his right hand gripping a Desolate Emperor Coin, but he didn’t throw it rashly.

He didn’t know any techniques for throwing Hidden Weapons, and at this distance, the Great Ghost could easily dodge it.

He didn’t have many Desolate Emperor Coins in hand; he had to make the shot count.

Just then, the Black Dog shot out from Lu Bai’s side, lunging straight for the white-robed female ghost.

"Be careful!"

Lu Bai shouted a warning as he too rushed out the door.

This white-robed female ghost was nothing like the Yin Soul Little Ghosts he had faced before. She was far more formidable!

The white-robed female ghost only feared the object on Lu Bai’s chest. Seeing that a mere Black Dog dared to challenge her, she suddenly opened her mouth. A scarlet tongue lolled out and lashed toward the dog.

The Black Dog abruptly halted its charge. An eerie light flashed in its jet-black eyes as it suddenly opened its mouth.

From the Black Dog’s mouth, streams of Evil Qi spewed forth, rapidly condensing in mid-air to form a strange rune!

"Hm?"

’That’s odd,’ Lu Bai thought.

’That rune looks familiar...’

"The Soul Suppressing Order!"

Lu Bai suddenly recalled.

The Soul Suppressing Order—a Secret Technique derived from the *Nine Netherworld*—was this very rune!

’The Black Dog actually managed to master that Secret Technique!’

The long, scarlet tongue lashed out, striking the Soul Suppressing Order head-on.

The white-robed female ghost shuddered violently. Its long tongue instantly retracted, more than half of its Ghost Fire was extinguished, and it plummeted from the sky!

After unleashing the Soul Suppressing Order, the Black Dog was clearly drained, standing in place and panting heavily.

Lu Bai seized the opportunity and, with a flick of his wrist, sent the Five Emperors Coins flying!

SWOOSH!

The Copper Coins sliced through the air and instantly sank into the white-robed female ghost’s body.

TSSS!

A wisp of green smoke rose from the white-robed female ghost, and a hole was burned through her robes.

But Lu Bai could see clearly that the Five Emperors Coins dealt significantly less damage to the white-robed female ghost than they had to the Painted Skin Ghost!

Lu Bai reached into his robes, grasped the Desolate Emperor Mother Coin, and was just about to strike.

CREAK.

The doors to two other rooms opened.

It was Uncle Fu. He had heard the commotion outside, woken up, and opened his door to investigate.

The white-robed female ghost had fallen extremely close to Uncle Fu’s doorway.

The moment Uncle Fu opened his door, he was hit by a gust of sinister, cold air.

The next moment, Uncle Fu lost consciousness.

Lu Bai watched as the white-robed female ghost possessed Uncle Fu. If he threw the Desolate Emperor Mother Coin now, it wouldn’t do much damage to the ghost and would instead harm Uncle Fu.

Knowing she was outmatched, the white-robed female ghost possessed Uncle Fu and, without a moment’s hesitation, turned and fled.

Lu Bai caught up in a few quick strides. An idea flashed through his mind, and he let out a sudden, powerful shout.

"ROAR!"

A tiger’s roar erupted out of nowhere, like a clap of thunder, right beside Uncle Fu’s ear.

The Secret Technique—Silent Shock!

Uncle Fu’s body convulsed.

The tiger’s roar blasted the white-robed female ghost out of Uncle Fu’s body. Its ghostly form was significantly dimmer, and it flickered unsteadily, nearly dissipating completely!

A shock to the soul, bringing all things to a standstill.

Although Lu Bai had used the Ancient Mirror to master this Secret Technique, he hadn’t truly understood its essence.

Only now did he understand.

A tiger is a creature of pure yang; its Blood Qi is the epitome of the masculine and unyielding. A tiger’s roar in the forest doesn’t just make all beasts submit; even Ghostly Creatures and other evils flee from it in terror.

Some Yin Souls and Ghostly Creatures are even compelled by tigers to become Chang Ghosts, helping the beast to prey on humans.

Silent Shock originated from the *White Tiger Stance*.

This roar was far more terrifying than that of any ordinary tiger!

If it had been a Yin Soul, that single roar would have been enough to shatter it completely!

The white-robed female ghost was forced from its host by Silent Shock. Uncle Fu’s vision went black, and he too collapsed unconscious.

He hadn’t been injured by the ghost; he had simply been knocked out by Lu Bai’s shout.

While the white-robed female ghost’s Soul Body was weak, Lu Bai strode forward and slammed his fist into it!

His fist alone didn’t do much damage to the ghost.

But clutched in his palm was the Desolate Emperor Mother Coin!

Hitting it with his fist was the same as pressing the Desolate Emperor Mother Coin directly into its body!

SIZZLE!

Billowing green smoke poured from the white-robed female ghost. Her long hair burst into flames, her white robes were burned full of holes, and her Soul Body began to rapidly dissolve!

"Ah!"

The white-robed female ghost let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Lu Bai channeled the Ancient Mirror again. The abyssal vortex appeared on his chest, its eerie glow unleashing immense power.

Having suffered one devastating blow after another, the white-robed female ghost was powerless to resist. It transformed into a wisp of dark light and disappeared into Lu Bai’s chest!

A new ball of Soul Light appeared on the mirror’s surface.

And it was a Level 2 Soul Light, transformed from a Great Ghost!

Only then did Lu Bai finally let out a breath of relief.

"What happened?"

Another door in the courtyard was pushed open. The woman of the Wang Family clutched her forehead, leaning on the doorframe with an alarmed and uncertain expression.

She had been jolted from her sleep by the tiger’s roar.

The roar had left her ears ringing and her head throbbing.

From not far away came the sound of many hurried footsteps.

The members of the Luo Family, awakened by the roar, lit torches and came running.

"Brother Xiaolu!"

"What’s going on!"

As the Luo Family members arrived, they suddenly shivered.

Although Lu Bai had absorbed the white-robed female ghost, the residual Ghost Qi had not yet dissipated, and the courtyard was chillingly dense with Yin Qi.

"What’s happening?"

Seeing Luo Ben on the ground, Luo Xiao rushed forward to help him up.

Luo Mingzhao also came forward to investigate. Seeing Luo Ben in his nightclothes, clutching a dagger, and lying collapsed in front of Lu Bai’s door, he couldn’t help but frown deeply.

"What’s gotten into Xiaoben? Is he possessed?"

Luo Mingzhao muttered.

"He is."

Lu Bai helped Uncle Fu up and back into his room. He came out and explained, "Just now, an evil spirit possessed Xiaoben. It knocked on my door in the middle of the night, intending to use him to attack me.

The spirit stimulated his latent potential, causing him to expend too much energy. That, combined with the invasion of sinister energy, is why he passed out. His life shouldn’t be in danger, but he’ll need some time to recover."
