507 Assistance (2/2)
Detective Ma shuddered as he looked towards the face of the female ghost.
”Get lost!”
At this point in time, an explosive exclamation was heard.
”Bang!”
Wood shavings flew about as a piece of the door was smashed on the female ghost. At the same time, Detective Ma seemingly heard his own daughter's voice. ”Father, let's go!”
He stumbled his way and finally arrived at the living room downstairs.
Only now did he realise that his daughter, Ma Xiaoling was with another child. They were pulling Detective Ma's hands, guiding him towards the exit.
”There's a ghost! A ghost!”
Detective Ma started to scream at the top of his lungs.
”There's no use. Other than the 3 of us, there are no more living humans in this residences.”
Fang Yuan scoffed as he looked at his fist. ”Is it... not strong enough?”
It was impossible for any physical object to cause harm to a ghost.
If Fang Yuan restored his cultivation as a True Divine to create the purest form of martial arts willpower, only then would he stand a chance of harming the ghost.
”A ghost from the outside world is already much stronger than the Demon Spirits of the Demonic Heart Realm. This realm is haunted...”
Fang Yuan took a quick look at his stats window.
If he were to use his special ability, he would be able to seal this ghost in him. However, he was not planning to do so.
”I am not desperate enough to rely on my special ability to survive. I will only use my Spirit Sealing Body when I am desperate... More importantly, I have to improve in my other abilities!”
Although the Tantai Family believed that it was impossible to kill spirits from the realm, Fang Yuan thought otherwise and even hoped to test it out by himself.
”What? There are no other survivors? Wait a minute, little child, who are you?”
Detective Ma started to stare at Fang Yuan suspiciously. ”Are you eyeing on my daughter? Let me tell you, if you don't have a betrothal gift worth at least a million dollars, don't ever think about it...”
”Father!”
Ma Xiaoling rolled her eyes. ”Is this the time to have this conversation?”
She realised that the female ghost had already come down from upstairs and were approaching them at a breakneck speed.
”Che!”
Fang Yuan scoffed and stopped in his tracks before staring at this man with a moustache. ”Listen up, I am not interested in your daughter. I only saved you because your daughter has hired me for my services, and that is all! For saving you, the price you will have to pay will be to settle my identity issue and provide me with 3 meals and lodging!”
”What?”
Detective Ma scoffed in a high-pitched voice. ”Dream on!”
”Oh!”
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders. ”If that is so, then you're on your own! I am confident that this ghost will surely catch up to you guys!”
Detective Ma looked at Fang Yuan and the approaching ghost before breaking out in cold sweat. ”Alright, I'll promise you!”
”Very well, I believe you will not go back on your words. This is because you should fear me more than the ghost!”
Fang Yuan turned around and his joints started to crackle. ”13 Successive Flying Eagle Strikes!”
”Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Gusts of wind started to rip even the floorboards apart. Wood shavings flew about as though a tornado was heading towards the female ghost.
”D*mn it!”
Witnessing this scene, Detective Ma rubbed his eyes in disbelief. ”Where this this boy come from? With such a combat power, he must be even more powerful than the special forces, right?”
It wouldn't be as surprising if Detective Ma were to witness this in a matured adult.
More importantly, how could such combat power be found in a young kid as old as his daughter?
Detective Ma felt that his view on the world was becoming obsolete.
”Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Claw marks appeared on the pillars behind and the female ghost was nowhere to be in sight.
”Is it still not powerful enough...”
Fang Yuan composed himself as the wooden block in his hands crumbled into dust.
His stats were now comparable to a young adult. However, his combat prowess were undoubtedly the best in this realm as he represented the most powerful of humans.
Such rare martial arts was still rendered useless against the most ordinary of ghosts! How could the humans of this realm stand any chance against the ghost infestation?
”Must I... really use the Spirit Sealing Body?”
He knew that he could strengthen this physical property of his by sealing spirits.
”However, the more spirits I seal, the more danger I expose myself to. If I cannot sustain, I will immediately experience backlash and become the most devastating... monster!”
Fang Yuan's eyes glistened. Suddenly, he rushed towards Ma Xiaoling and threw a test tube out.
”Whoosh!”
In mid-air, a pair of pale hands were drenched by the concoction from the test tube and started to smoke before retracting back.
”Thank... Thank you!”
Ma Xiaoling was stunned. If not for Fang Yuan, she would have been dead!
”It's too early to thank me. Let's talk about this after we leave the residences... Let's hope that this is a ghost which follows rules!”
Fang Yuan gazed up at the sky. It was slowly brightening as daytime arrived.
Although ghosts were scary, their behaviors were predictable. For instance, they only haunt a certain area and mostly strike at night, laying low in the daytime.
This was not because they were restricted to do so, but it was merely their habits!
If one knew the habits of a particular ghost, one would be able to effectively deal with it!
An exorcist would be required to have good observation and judgemental skills. Of course, there were many who were overconfident with these qualities and were still killed by ghosts!
