The Divine Calculator looked as if he were about to perform a ritual, tense and nervous, his eyes fixed intently on Granny Qian.
"You old hag, take this sword!"
He pointed forward with two fingers, and the Peach Wood Sword he had conjured flew out with a whistle, enveloped in a faint golden light, slashing towards Granny Qian.
"Hehe, you think this thing can take down?"
Granny Qian let out a cold laugh, her body quickly changing. Her previously thin fra suddenly expanded, and black lines appeared on her skin.
The most striking change was the growth of two long horns on her head, and her skin turned from white to a bluish-black, no longer resembling a living human.
The Peach Wood Sword ca down, and Granny Qian reached out a large hand to grab it. However, upon touching the sword, her hand seed to burn, emitting white smoke and a "sizzling" sound.
"Ah! What is this thing?"
Granny Qian abruptly flung the Peach Wood Sword away, a charred mark appearing on her palm.
Seeing this, the Divine Calculator was imdiately pleased: "Hmph, now you see the power of us Daoists? Watch my Soul Suppressing Bell!"
He grasped the copper bell, channeling his mana into it wildly. With a gentle shake, an ethereal sound that seed to cleanse the soul was released, and visible sound waves spread out.
When Granny Qian heard the sound of the copper bell, her world turned topsy-turvy, as if her soul was about to leave her body. A searing pain, like needles, spread throughout her entire being.
Chen Nan, standing by, was also taken aback; he hadn’t expected the Daoist thods of the Divine Calculator to be so effective against Granny Qian, almost like a natural counter.
But he also understood, that hoping to take down Granny Qian with these thods alone was wishful thinking. So, while Granny Qian was subdued, he took large strides forward, his gaze locking in place.
A fierce Demon Qi erupted from him, and in the void appeared the phantoms of a Heavenly Fox, Dragon Elephant, and Demon Ape. Infinite power coalesced around his fist, emitting a blinding light, and then he struck!
Granny Qian, her spirit shaken, only managed to react at the last second, seeing a fist rapidly enlarging in her vision. Fear gripped her heart as she tried to evade, but it was too late.
She opened her mouth and exhaled, a massive influx of Yin Energy surged out, trying to form a Yin Energy wall in front of her to block the attack.
But under Chen Nan’s imnse strength, the wall of condensed Yin Energy shattered instantly, as did Granny Qian’s head!
With a loud bang, Granny Qian’s head burst like a water-filled balloon, yet she seed not dead, for her body remained standing.
Moreover, a large amount of Yin Energy was gathering where her head used to be, seemingly trying to rebuild it.
This scene made Chen Nan’s expression extrely grim; if all Fengdu City’s residents were this hard to kill, they could be in deep trouble.
"Let do it!"
The Divine Calculator shouted, chanting an incantation, and a talisman flew from his chest, transforming into a golden ray that adhered to Granny Qian.
The talisman exploded with a "bang", the golden light causing a massive hole to appear in Granny Qian’s chest, the black Yin Energy thinning significantly, as if purified by the light.
Yet, despite the talisman’s effectiveness against Granny Qian, it was far from enough to kill her with just one Spirit Talisman.
"Damn it, what the hell is this creature?" The Divine Calculator bit his teeth, fear creeping into his heart.
If Chen Nan hadn’t woken him up this ti, who knows how long it would have taken him to realize this was a trap.
"They’re... the Ghost Clan!"
Chen Nan’s expression was grim, this information about the Ghost Clan ca from a Demon Clan woman’s mouth.
"Ghost Clan?" The Divine Calculator’s eyes widened: "Impossible, the Ghost Clan disappeared long ago. How could they be here?"
But recalling Granny Qian’s earlier form, with strange ghost patterns, long horns on her head, and bluish-black skin, matched the legendary Ghost Clan.
In legends, the Ghost Clan were the gatekeepers of Hell, once a powerful race, with even a path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation known as the "Ghost Path" dedicated to them.
The legends were so distant, even the Divine Calculator had only co across them in ancient texts, considering it a re story, never expecting to truly encounter the Ghost Clan.
If the Ghost Clan is real, then is Hell real too? And the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
"Could it be... is this place really Hell?" The Divine Calculator swallowed hard.
Chen Nan glared coldly, seeing Granny Qian’s body gradually restoring amidst the Yin Energy, and suddenly rembered the Demon Suppressing Sword.
When entering Fengdu City, the Demon Suppressing Sword had trembled non-stop. He thought it was due to the dense Yin Energy in Fengdu City. Now, it seed it was because of these Ghost Clan!
"Demon Suppressing Sword, co forth!"
Chen Nan shouted, a red brilliance shone on him, and the Demon Suppressing Sword flew out with an imposing aura, directly into his grasp.
"Oh? A fine sword!"
The Divine Calculator’s eyes lit up at the dense runes on the Demon Suppressing Sword, sincerely admiring it.
Chen Nan ignored him, exerting all his strength, he cut Granny Qian’s body in half with one stroke. Simultaneously, the runes on the Demon Suppressing Sword illuminated, absorbing Granny Qian’s body as Yin Energy!
"It actually works!"
His heart leaped with joy, and now he had the confidence to deal with these Ghost Clan.
The Divine Calculator saw that Granny Qian was already taken care of and hurriedly asked, "Chen Nan, what on earth is going on? How did people turn into the Ghost Clan?"
Chen Nan sighed and called out, "Co in!"
The Demon Clan woman in a black cloak entered from outside, took off her hood, revealing a delicate face, and nodded slightly at the Divine Calculator.
"Demon Clan?" The Divine Calculator was taken aback: "Are you still in the city?"
"Yes and no." The Demon Clan woman sighed, "My other clansn are indeed still in the city, but not by their own will; they were captured!"
"How is that possible?" The Divine Calculator’s eyes widened. He was a witness to the Dragon Fall Island battle, aware that several Demon Kings remained within the Heavenly Cutting Abyss.
Those were Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses!
The Ghost Clan in Fengdu City, although seemingly immortal, should not be a match for the Nascent Soul Realm Demon Kings.
"We’ll explain on the way, let’s go sowhere first."
The Divine Calculator beckoned, leading the two out. It was the ti when Fengdu City’s residents were resting, so the streets outside were empty.
"Where are we going? Shouldn’t we leave quickly?" The Divine Calculator inquired repeatedly.
The Demon Clan woman sighed again, shaking her head.
"It’s no use; we’ve tried!"
