Chapter 421 Heavenly Master 128: Additional Update for Ji Moxue's Reward
At this moment, Dong Wentao's three roommates were huddled together, fright and coldness making their faces pale as they shook their teeth!
Dong Wentao was shivering from the cold too; no matter how many times he tried calling Shuangshuang Situ, he couldn't get through. He didn't know how many calls he had made, none of which connected, making Dong Wentao feel deflated. He then started calling his family and friends instead!
Dong Wentao's plan was that if he managed to get through, he would have his family and friends convey his current situation to his mentor Situ Shuangshuang and ask her to come rescue him quickly!
Dong Wentao always worried that the cry for help he managed to send to Situ Shuangshuang's phone wasn't secure enough, fearing she might dismiss it as one of his pranks!
After countless attempts, finally, when Dong Wentao was nearly desperate, he reached his elder brother Dong Wenyuan by phone. Even more fortunately, Dong Wenyuan was in the same city where Dong was attending university and promised to drive to Situ Shuangshuang immediately!
The call with Dong Wenyuan lasted a bit longer than the one with Situ Shuangshuang, but not by much. The signal was once again blocked, and afterward, until Dong's phone ran out of battery, he didn't manage another outgoing call!
The same fate befell his three roommates; their phones also died, but they were even less fortunate. Dong at least connected two calls, whereas they didn't get even one call out!
Dong Wentao had now made his call for help; now it was just a wait to see when his mentor would come to his rescue! Dong had immense confidence in Situ Shuangshuang's capabilities, never doubting she could save him. He only feared she might come too late, finding him already devoured by ghosts!
As he watched, more and more wounds appeared on Azure Dragon's body. The body that had tightly protected the car was forcibly torn open by a fierce ghost, and a Ghost Claw squeezed its way in to grab directly at Dong Wentao!
"Ah—"
A more timid boy with Dong Wentao couldn't help but scream, startling Dong, who was already quite nervous, causing him to shudder violently and his hair to stand on end!
Swallowing his fear, Dong Wentao reminded himself he was Situ Shuangshuang's disciple; his mentor had given him so many protective charms, he couldn't disgrace his mentor's reputation by being so cowardly!
Thinking this way, Dong Wentao fought the urge to tremble, pulling a Paper Talisman from his pouch. In his panic, he didn't even notice what type of talisman it was and stuck it directly onto the ghostly hand reaching into the car!
Fortunately, all the talismans Situ Shuangshuang gave Dong were offensive; the one Dong picked happened to be a Fire Talisman. As soon as it touched the ghostly hand, a burst of flames erupted, completely incinerating the Ghost Claw in no time!
The fire was odd—though intense, it only burned the ghost and had no heat for the living, nor did it damage anything inside the car even after the ghostly hand was burned away!
Awooo!
The fierce ghost, having lost its Ghost Claw, emitted a piercing screech. Combined with the eerie atmosphere around, the ghost's wail only added to the creepiness!
Dong Wentao, holding back his terror, took a batch of talisman papers and distributed over ten to each of his three roommates, advising them to stick them on any ghostly claws or heads that tried to enter the car!
The roommates, after witnessing the power of these talismans, felt significantly reassured with them in hand and were much less afraid! With the talismans, any ghost claw or head entering the car was either struck by lightning or burned by fire, and none managed to break through!
With the aid of Dong and others inside, Azure Dragon outside found it a bit easier, not having to cling so tightly to protect the car, dealing with the Evil Ghosts' attacks with some relief.
But this wasn't a sustainable solution. Even momentarily eased, the besieging Evil Ghosts wouldn't retreat. As Azure Dragon gradually struggled again, ghosts, like humans, acted with a herd mentality!
The relentless attacks from the Evil Ghosts stirred the spirits among those initially not intending to attack. After observing that Azure Dragon's defense was waning, they couldn't resist their greed any longer, rushing to attack together!
The behavior of these Evil Ghosts was indeed like a novel's depiction of a group of greedy humans vying for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures! They threw all Underworld rules aside, their ghostly faces greedy and terrifying, a truly horrifying sight!
Outwardly, Dong Wentao managed to keep calm and reassured the classmates behind him, but internally, he was almost in tears with anxiety! He had no idea when his mentor would come to his aid, continuously praying, pleading with the heavens for speed, fearing otherwise he would truly be devoured by these ghosts!
Just imagining such a fate sent chills down Dong Wentao's spine. He harshly slapped a Heavenly Thunder Talisman onto the head of the reckless ghost daring to stick its head in, resolute in his heart that he would never end this way!
Fortunately, what Dong Wentao feared did not happen. Just as his talismans dwindled, and his fear increased, a car sped down from the distance, making a sharp drift before stopping right beside Dong's car!
Through the gaps in Azure Dragon's body, Dong Wentao saw out the window, confirming it was a mortal world car. Immediately, the car door was opened from inside, and a tall, cold-faced girl stepped out, none other than his mentor Situ Shuangshuang!
Seeing his mentor arrive, Dong Wentao's tense heart instantly relaxed, nearly crying tears of joy! He knew, no matter how cold she appeared, his mentor had a warm heart and would definitely come to his rescue!
With Dong Wentao momentarily relaxing, Situ Shuangshuang on the other hand couldn't spare a glance to check on Dong's status. Faced with the layers of Evil Ghosts besieging Dong, Situ Shuangshuang was extremely serious!
Once out of the car, Situ Shuangshuang immediately clasped her hands in the Great Vajra Seal, invoking Divine Power using the Soldier Rune, then drew out a handful of talisman papers and flung them into the air!
Graceful talisman papers lit up in the sky, from which clusters of light emerged, swiftly forming into the Yin Yang Wind Thunder Formation in the sky!
The formation whirled upward, suspended high in the sky, unleashing a multitude of lightning strikes down upon the Evil Ghosts attacking Dong Wentao!
As the lightning descended, piercing ghostly wails echoed one after another! The Evil Ghosts besieging Dong began to scream and flee in all directions! But it was no use; already ensnared by the formation, they couldn't escape the relentless storm of lightning!
Now with Situ Shuangshuang's deeper formation skills, the array's power was extraordinary. All Evil Ghosts besieging Dong Wentao were instantly reduced to ashes!
