Fight!
Before Su Shi'er even reached the scene, he had already thrown out the Yuanyang Umbrella.
At the same time, he wielded a sword in one hand and clutched a dozen High Grade and Top Grade Talismans he had acquired from the market in the other.
An orange streak of light flashed by, landing just before the vengeful spirits could devour the white-robed man, protecting everyone present.
"Zzzzz..."
A sound like crackling electricity echoed.
The vengeful spirits and evil ghosts showed expressions of extreme pain upon touching the Yuanyang Umbrella.
This Yuanyang Umbrella was a Top Grade Ritual Artifact, slightly inferior to the white-robed man's Fire Cloud Shield, but it excelled in its pure yang energy.
It was especially effective against these ghostly beings!
"Who?!"
Seeing his attack thwarted, the Red-Eyed Child's face changed, and he immediately turned to look in the direction from which the Yuanyang Umbrella had flown.
Turning his head, he saw a figure in blue, wielding a silver Flying Sword, slashing towards him.
"Hmph! A mere seventh level Qi Refining cultivator dares to challenge me? Courting death!"
Once he saw the intruder's cultivation level, the Red-Eyed Child felt reassured.
Forming hand seals, Yin energy surged around him, coalescing into a long serpent that lunged at Su Shi'er.
Su Shi'er held his sword, True Essence surging within him, the blade aimed directly at the incoming Yin energy.
"Crack!"
In the next second, a crisp sound was heard.
The Silver Light Sword shattered under the impact of the Yin energy.
Su Shi'er's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he quickly summoned the Ice Shield and activated the blood light shield.
"Crack!"
The Yin energy struck the Ice Shield fiercely, covering it with cracks before finally dissipating.
Su Shi'er felt a pang of heartache. In just one exchange, he had lost two High Grade Ritual Artifacts, a significant loss.
But the battle had already begun, and it was too late for regrets. Ignoring his heartache, he flipped his hand, and the dozen talismans he had prepared in advance transformed into streams of light, turning into a dozen fire crows in the air, spewing flames as they dove towards the opponent.

The Red-Eyed Child remained unfazed, clearly prepared. With a shake of his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a more violent gust of evil wind swept forth, dispersing the airborne attacks completely.
"Hmph! You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve, kid. But unfortunately, you're still too green in front of me..."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Before the Red-Eyed Child could finish his sentence, seven cold glints appeared before him.
He never expected this guy to be so cunning, launching three waves of attacks right off the bat. Caught off guard, he could only watch as seven Soul-Breaking Nails shot into his chest.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
A series of sparks flew as the seven Soul-Breaking Nails were all deflected.
Su Shi'er's pupils contracted as he noticed the opponent was wearing a defensive soft armor artifact.
Seeing his attack fail, he didn't hesitate and immediately retreated with the wind.
"Trying to leave now? Don't you think it's too late?"
"You might not have high cultivation, but you've got plenty of tricks. Unfortunately, such petty skills dare to show off in front of me."
"I'd like to see what other tricks you have!"
The Red-Eyed Child smirked with a hint of mockery.
Su Shi'er felt a chill down his spine, sensing danger.
Turning his head, he saw tens of thousands of vengeful spirits and evil ghosts howling, surging towards him like a tide.
In front of him, the Red-Eyed Child was also chanting incantations, brewing an astonishing momentum.
"Damn it! I've been outsmarted by this old man!"
Su Shi'er's mouth twitched, immediately realizing that while he was plotting against the opponent, the opponent was also plotting against him.
These old foxes were indeed as cunning as monkeys!
Taking a deep breath, he dared not be careless.
With a wave of his hand, the Yuanyang Ruler appeared in his grasp.
Infusing it with True Essence, an orange glow of Yuanyang burst forth, forming a shield of light around Su Shi'er.
Faced with the aura emanating from the Yuanyang Ruler, the surrounding vengeful spirits and evil ghosts halted, showing considerable apprehension.
"What? A pseudo-Spiritual Artifact of Yuanyang Supreme Treasure?!"
"Hmph! You've got quite the collection of treasures, kid. It's hard enough for an ordinary cultivator to obtain even one, yet you have so many. And two Yuanyang treasures at that. Today, I absolutely cannot let you live!"
"Attack! In this Evil Pit, where Yin is strong and Yang is weak, what good are Yuanyang treasures?"
The Red-Eyed Child glared at Su Shi'er, his heart trembling, eyes filled with murderous intent.
Su Shi'er's skillful maneuvers and these treasures made him deeply wary.
And wielding a pseudo-Spiritual Artifact level Yuanyang Supreme Treasure was a deadly counter to someone like him, a practitioner of evil arts!
Such an opponent could not be allowed to grow.
As he spoke, the Red-Eyed Child cast a spell, chanting incantations.
As the sound reverberated, the vengeful spirits and evil ghosts, initially hesitant, surged towards Su Shi'er as if invigorated.
"Zzzzz..."
With the Yuanyang orange glow enveloping Su Shi'er, any evil ghost that approached perished instantly, yet they showed no fear.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of evil ghosts vanished.
And the light shield emitted by the Yuanyang Ruler did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it grew even stronger.
Within the Yuanyang Ruler, the Yunyang Spirit Fire danced joyfully, growing from its original two-thirds fist size to the size of an entire fist.
This scene caught Su Shi'er by surprise.
Hmm? Could the Yunyang Spirit Fire actually use these vengeful spirits and evil ghosts as fuel to grow stronger?!
Su Shi'er was secretly astonished, but not a bit pleased.
In a different time, place, or situation, this would undoubtedly be a great boon for him.
But now, the enlarged Yunyang Spirit Fire was consuming his True Essence at an alarming rate.
For a moment, Su Shi'er couldn't help but feel bitter.
Not far away, the Red-Eyed Child was also startled by this sudden turn of events.
"What? It's actually a pure Yang Spirit Fire?"
"Who is this kid, and why does he have so many treasures?!"
The Red-Eyed Child muttered to himself, beginning to suspect that this might be a scion of some great power.
With so many treasures, such wealth, even he felt slightly inferior.
"Hmph! No matter your background, at this point, don't think you'll leave alive."
"I'd like to see if you can still control that Spirit Fire as it grows!"
"At worst, I'll lose these evil ghosts and find another place to refine souls!"
With a muffled snort, the Red-Eyed Child's eyes were sharp, instantly discerning Su Shi'er's predicament.
With a cold laugh, he quickened his incantations.
"Zzzzz..."
Countless vengeful spirits and evil ghosts threw themselves into the flames.
In no time, the Yunyang Spirit Fire grew to the size of a sandbag.
The flames leapt vigorously, threatening to break free from Su Shi'er at any moment.
To maintain the Yuanyang Ruler and Yunyang Spirit Fire, Su Shi'er's True Essence was nearly depleted in a short span.
"No, this can't go on. If the Spirit Fire loses control, even if I'm not killed by this old demon, I'll be drained or burned to death by the Spirit Fire."
Su Shi'er frowned, feeling increasingly anxious.
At this moment, he could already feel the scorching heat emanating from the Spirit Fire.
The Yunyang Spirit Fire was effective against evil spirits and demons, but it was still fire, capable of harming others and objects alike.
Taking a deep breath, Su Shi'er knew he couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Resolute, he forced more True Essence, tossing the Yuanyang Ruler into the air.
