Legendary Battle Pet

With a rustle, the crowd immediately parted, and even Mark took a few steps back, leaving the bedside clear for Divine Iskandar.

Divine Iskandar began to examine Muthu's lifeless body with a serious demeanor. After a thorough examination, Divine Iskandar's expression turned grim.

"This Muthu was possessed by an evil spirit, which consumed his life force. In simpler terms, a ghost has devoured his soul!"

Divine Iskandar's words frightened the villagers in the room half to death.

"Oh my goodness! It actually involves ghosts."

Immediately, Muthu's son, Kamal, said, "Divine Iskandar, my father was very healthy normally; how could he suddenly be possessed by a ghost?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to Divine Iskandar, waiting for his explanation.

Divine Iskandar did not answer directly; instead, he turned to Alun. "You just said that many people in the village have shown similar symptoms to Muthu?"

"Yes, seven or eight have already died, and dozens more are feeling unwell," Alun replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Divine Iskandar nodded. "I understand."

Then, without acknowledging the crowd, he walked out of Muthu's house and onto the village street.

He began to look around, taking out a compass like object to locate something, as if he were measuring or calculating.

Seeing Divine Iskandar's actions, the villagers did not dare to disturb him. About ten minutes later, Divine Iskandar put away the compass and let out a gentle sigh.

"Divine Iskandar, did you find anything?" Mark stepped forward to ask.

In response, Divine Iskandar addressed Mark and the villagers, "The sudden illness and deaths of people in your village are not due to sickness; they are possessed by evil spirits!"

The notion of possession was quite mystical, instantly captivating everyone present. Although Macang Village was isolated, there were many folk legends and customs passed down from their ancestors.

They naturally understood how terrifying it was to be possessed by evil spirits. Instantly, the villagers turned pale, their faces ashen.

"Divine Iskandar, is there still hope for our village?"

Mark asked.

"Every situation has a glimmer of hope. Although this ghostly apparition is strong, it is not invincible,"

Divine Iskandar slowly said, gazing at the sky.

"Please, Divine Iskandar, lend us your help!"

Village chief Mark immediately led the villagers present to kneel down, all shouting in unison.

Hearing this, Divine Iskandar looked at everyone and said, "Go kill a few chickens; we need fresh chicken blood. Also, prepare a piece of peach wood. Today, I, Iskandar, will not be intimidated by this evil spirit. I will confront this malevolent ghost!"

Seeing that Divine Iskandar was willing to help, the villagers of Machang were overwhelmed with gratitude.

Immediately, Mark arranged for several households: those with chickens to kill them, and those with peach wood to gather it. At the same time, Divine Iskandar also asked Mark to gather all the villagers together.

He explained that the more people there were, the stronger the positive energy, and the more fearful the ghost would be.

In response, Mark personally went from house to house, calling on everyone he could move to come together.

After nearly 3,000 people had gathered, Divine Iskandar took the prepared chicken blood and peach wood and led the crowd toward the back mountain of Macang Village. The back mountain was desolate and uninhabited.

Holding the compass to guide his direction, Divine Iskandar turned and twisted through the terrain until he finally arrived at a seemingly inconspicuous patch of grass.

The thousands of villagers also stopped with him. They were all eager to see how Divine Iskandar would capture the ghost.

"That ghost is hiding in this grass!"

Divine Iskandar shouted loudly, causing an uproar among the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. The villagers held an innate fear of things like ghosts and spirits.

"Divine Iskandar, please take action!"

Mark spoke on behalf of the villagers, urging Divine Iskandar to act. Divine Iskandar nodded, "Exorcising demons and eliminating evil is my duty and responsibility!"

As he spoke, he sprinkled chicken blood on the small piece of peach wood and recited incantations as he approached the patch of grass. Using the peach wood as a sword, he began to perform sword techniques among the grass.

With his profound cultivation, Divine Iskandar executed his movements effortlessly, creating a powerful sword wind that was awe inspiring.

The villagers had never seen such impressive techniques before and were instantly captivated.

Divine Iskandar danced with the "sword" while continuously shouting commands.

"Ghostly apparition, come for your life!"

"You evil spirit, not only do you harm people, but you also look so terrifying you deserve to die!"

"Evil spirit, don't be arrogant; watch how I deal with you!"

Divine Iskandar spoke with conviction, fully immersed in the performance. To the villagers, it appeared as though Divine Iskandar was engaging in a fierce battle with the ghost.

The battle between Divine Iskandar and the ghost lasted for about 20 minutes before it paused. Suddenly, Divine Iskandar leaped high into the air and struck down hard with his sword, smashing it into the ground. Instantly, a crack about an inch deep appeared on the surface.

"This ghost is dead! You can rest assured; it will no longer harm the living."

Upon hearing Divine Iskandar's words, the villagers erupted into cheers.

But Divine Iskandar signaled for everyone to be quiet. "I have killed this ghost, but leaving its body here is not good either. Village chief, find a few strong young men with abundant yang energy to dig three feet into the ground here, and you will find the ghost's body."

Huh?

Hearing Divine Iskandar's words, everyone was shocked, not expecting that there would actually be a ghost's body.

The villagers were afraid of ghosts, but they were also very curious to see what a ghost's body looked like.

Thus, under Mark's organization, a few brave young men volunteered and began to dig in the spot designated by Divine Iskandar. Before long, the young men cried out in surprise.
