Chapter 49: Black Magic: A Sinister Basement
The unilluminated basement had a sinister air. When Ye Jiuge stretched out her hand, she could not see her five fingers. A cold draft blew out of nowhere, making her blood run cold.
Ye Jiuge retrieved a lighter. She was about to ignite it when a sudden gust of cold, dark wind rushed towards the back of her head. She raised her hand and immediately countered it with a stream of purple Spiritual Light.
Bam!
The two forces met. Countless streams of Spiritual Light erupted from the impact.
Ye Jiuge felt a wicked sensation seeping into her body through her palm, smashing her five viscera and six bowels like a heavy hammer. She could not help but take a few steps back. Blood surged up violently and frothed in her throat.
Fortunately, Wan Ziyang had quick reflexes. He shot multiple fireballs at the shadow ambushing Ye Jiuge. Meanwhile, Bai Songling’s green vines wrapped around Ye Jiuge and lifted her behind him to safety.
Ye Jiuge swallowed the blood in her throat. With the assistance of the light from Wan Ziyang’s fire attacks, she discovered that she had been ambushed by a tall, thin man dressed in black. He had sadistic hooded eyes and sharp cheekbones. His drooping eyelids slanted in a way that obscured the actual shape of his eyes. His pallid hands glowed faintly with a black light. Every time he performed a certain gesture with his hands, a gust of unholy wind was summoned. Needless to say, he was the one who had hurt Ye Yu.
“Are you alright?” Bai Songling asked worriedly when he saw Ye Jiuge’s pale lips.
“I’m fine.” Ye Jiuge swallowed one Nine Transformations Resurrection Pill. Immediately, her blood stopped churning.
