Chapter 108: Altar Master’s Vengeful Ghost?

Song Shuhang did not panic as he used to scatter his spiritual energy so he could scout the area. In circ.u.mstances where he couldn’t see, he could fall back on the spiritual energy “scouting” technique he had dabbled in to avoid sinking into complete helplessness.

At the same time, he quickly reached into his pockets with both hands. With his left hand, he pinched a “sword talisman” and with his right hand he pinched an “exorcism talisman”. Ever since that bizarre dream the day before, he had carried these two precious talismans around just in case.

“Even if I never enter the cycle of reincarnation and stay as a ghost forever… I will demand your death for an eternity!” An overflowing torrent of hatred surged towards Song Shuhang, causing the hairs on his body to stand up involuntarily.

No doubt, this was Altar Master’s voice!

Had his hatred and curses before his death caused Altar Master to transform into an immortal ghost thirsting after his life?

What a joke. He hadn’t even been afraid when Altar Master was alive; how could he be scared of the dead Altar Master?

“Since it’s a vengeful immortal ghost… Dispel!” Song Shuhang raised the “exorcism talisman” and shouted steadily. The frantic spiritual energy morphed into a hurricane that swept across the area in a 10 mile radius from him.

Within this hurricane of spiritual energy, all impure ghostly existences and demonic energy would be torn into shreds by the power of the maelstrom. Complete obliteration!

The darkness that had been covering Song Shuhang’s eyes vanished like smoke, along with the hateful cries of Altar Master.

When Song Shuhang’s vision was restored, he saw a ghostly humanoid figure floating five meters directly above him that looked exactly like Altar Master. The howling winds of the hurricane rolled past this ghostly body but… the ghost was actually unharmed!

One must know that the power contained in this “exorcism talisman” could easily tear apart a demon of 2nd Stage True Master realm!

“It endured the exorcism tooth talisman head on?” Song Shuhang hurriedly grabbed the sword talisman, covertly sealing the Altar Master’s ghost.

At that moment, Altar Master’s ghost opened its eyes. Its eye sockets were empty holes; its face was expressionless — it was completely devoid of any sentience.

After the hurricane of spiritual energy dispersed, Altar Master’s ghost was no longer restricted. With a sharp wail, it extended its hands that were curled into claws and pounced towards Song Shuhang. This a.s.sault was akin to the strike of a wild beast, completely unpredictable.

“Foundation Building Fist Technique 3!” Song Shuhang pinched the “sword talisman” and maintained a battle-ready stance. He curled his other hand into a dragon’s claw and struck the sharp claws of Altar Master directly.

He did not use the “sword talisman” straight away — in his scouting state, he saw that the Altar Master’s ghost was in a rather strange condition.

Peng peng!

As the claws of a ghost and a human collided, there was a heavy crash. Song Shuhang could not help but take two steps back.

And Altar Master’s ghost similarly somersaulted backwards three times before steadying its form.

“So weak!” Song Shuhang understood. Altar Master’s ghost was still a newborn and thus extremely weak! Its potential was comparable to back when he was opening his heart acupoint under the hundred days of foundation building. In fact… it was weaker!

More importantly, Altar Master’s ghost did not seem to possess a mind. It could only attack him using its instincts, just like a wild animal.

“Chiiiii!” Altar Master released a piercing shriek and rushed towards Song Shuhang again. Its attack was the same as the one just now as it swiped at him with another ghost claw.

“Foundation Building First Technique 1!” This time Song Shuhang chose to meet the claw with his fist. His right fist shot outwards like a bullet. Simultaneously, he silently recited the Fist Scripture Chant.

After practising it so many times, he had long since been able to effortlessly incorporate the Fist Scripture Chant into his fighting technique.

As his fist exploded outwards, all of the nature’s spiritual energy around him was drawn towards him and compressed on top of his fist.

Since he had already cultivated three rounds at Medicine Master’s residence, his body’s vitality, Qi and spirit were all near depletion. Nonetheless, since he had absorbed the natural spiritual energy of his surroundings, executing a technique or two was no problem.

Hong!

As claw and fist collided, this time, Altar Master’s ghost’s entire hand was shattered by Song Shuhang, dissolving into particles and scattering into s.p.a.ce.

However, Altar Master’s ghost was completely incapable to feeling pain. Its broken claw did not affect it one bit. Moreover, the shattered ghost claw had, on the contrary, resisted the force behind Song Shuhang’s fist!

Altar Master’s ghost screeched and seized the opportunity to throw itself at Song Shuhang’s body. Opening its mouth revealed sharp ghostly teeth that it used to bite at Song Shuhang’s neck. If this bite connected, a large hole would definitely be torn on his neck.
