Chapter 82 - 16_3
He had just charged in with the others when he saw a cat-faced old woman standing at the doorway of the old house. Li Sanjiang, holding the Peach Wood Sword, stopped in his tracks, waiting for Liu Jinxia and Run Sheng to go first.
Then, for some inexplicable reason, the cat-faced old woman lunged towards Li Sanjiang and even impaled herself on the Peach Wood Sword in his hands, piercing straight through her.
Afterward, there was a cacophony of ghostly wails, cat screeching, and the old lady’s screams until... it all went silent!
At that moment, Mr. Shan felt as if he would slap himself twice to see if his eyes were deceiving him. A Corpse Demon who had everyone running in circles and made him mockingly imitate dog urination... just like that, it was vanquished?
Li Sanjiang himself was somewhat surprised. He even flicked the Peach Wood Sword in his hand and commented:
"It must be genuine peachwood, the quality from the state-run furniture factory is truly reliable indeed."
...
"Make way, make way!" Li Sanjiang gestured towards the three people lying on the ground, "They have been cursed and are still unconscious. Everyone go scoop up some ’golden potion’ from nearby clay jars, heat it till it’s warm, and pour it down their throats."
In truth, Li Sanjiang knew that Liu Xiazi was the most skilled at exorcism, but firstly Liu Xiazi was injured and not in good condition, and secondly, he was clear about what those three really were; they had it coming.
Immediately, the villagers divided into two groups. One group was responsible for carrying the Niu family siblings to the tent set up for the ritual, while the other went to scoop out the ’golden potion’ from the jars, clearly more excited and quick-footed.
Inside the tent, it quickly filled up with people. Some villagers who were initially asleep were startled awake by the noise or summoned by neighbors to come and join in the spectacle.
