Chapter 22: Exorcize the Evil
Clang!
A wicked-looking longsword appeared in the scholar’s hand, parrying Li Yanchu’s strike. The moment they exchanged blows, the looming blade-wielding ghost that had hovered in the air vanished into thin mist.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Their blades clashed again and again, ringing with the sound of metal upon metal. Sparks were flying with every strike.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Li Yanchu was pushed back three steps, while the seemingly frail scholar only took one step back.
“You’ve got some skill, young Daoist,” the scholar remarked, feeling surprised.
Li Yanchu frowned. He could feel a chilling qi invade his body, wreaking havoc through his meridians. But in the next instant, the spirit qi he had cultivated from the Yellow Court Classic activated on its own, flushing out the invading yin qi with a surge of warmth.
His blood and vitality were like a roaring furnace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed as fast as lightning. At first, Li Yanchu was at a disadvantage, but once the spirit qi within his body began to circulate, he felt a continuously flowing, inexhaustible energy surging inside him, driving him to fight with greater strength the longer the battle went on.
