Zheng Yue pressed herself tightly against the floor-to-ceiling window, tears streaming down her face, begging in despair, "Don't come closer, please."
"Miss, I can't live without you."
"Just help me."
Wanna's face was ashen, her eyes unfocused like black holes.
Veins like black snakes bulged all over her body, her bones creaking under the immense force of the backlash.
But she felt no pain.
She took two steps back, gathering her strength for another charge.
Just one more!
Once inside, she could drink delicious human blood and eat sweet, tender organs.
"Hehehe."
The thought of the exquisite taste made her drool, saliva gushing down her chin.
"Miss, here I come!"
Wanna's leg muscles suddenly bulged, erupting with all her strength as she assumed her charging stance.
Zheng Yue knew she was in grave danger. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Ah!!!"
"Someone, save me!"
"Anyone will do!"
"I will be eternally grateful and agree to any of your demands!"
*Bang!*
"Stop!"
Accompanying the sound of the door shattering was an enraged roar.
Zheng Yue heard it clearly; the roar belonged to Lin Fan.
The moment Lin Fan entered, the black mist that had enveloped the room dissipated like a popped balloon.
Zheng Ke, who had been dozing next door, suddenly jolted awake, "Not good! Miss is in trouble!"
Zheng Ke leaped up, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and rushed over.
Lin Fan's fists were wreathed in a faint purple glow, his gaze sharp as he fixed on the clearly eerie woman before him.
"Possessed by a ghost! Is this all they do?"
"Yaaah~"
Wanna, possessed by the ghost infant, let out an enraged shriek upon seeing Lin Fan.
It was him!
It was this person!
If not for him, she would have already enjoyed her delicious meal!
"Who are you trying to scare?"
Lin Fan stretched his limbs, not believing this entity was more formidable than the snake demon.
While foreign monks might chant scriptures, foreign demons weren't necessarily so.
"I will kill you!"
Wanna's eyes blazed with a ferocious, bone-chilling hatred.
Her fingernails instantly elongated, ten sharp talons like daggers, glinting with a chilling cold light.
She lunged at Lin Fan.
*Bang bang bang!*
The human and the ghost clashed.
Wanna was not only agile but also possessed surprising strength.
Her sharp talons left bloody gashes on Lin Fan's clothes in mere moments, turning them into tattered rags.
Wanna smirked, her attacks becoming even more fierce, her two sharp claws weaving a net so dense there was no escape.
"Stop!"
Zheng Ke arrived in a hurry, his face paling with shock at the scene.
"Lin Fan!"
"Wanna?"
Zheng Ke was utterly astonished.
He couldn't believe that Wanna, who struggled to open a bottle cap, was currently overpowering Lin Fan.
"Zheng Ke!"
Hiding in the bedroom, Zheng Yue recognized Zheng Ke's voice.
"Miss!"
Zheng Ke was overjoyed. As long as his young lady was safe!
"Hurry and help Lin Fan!"
Zheng Yue shouted.
"Uh? Alright!"
Zheng Ke hesitated for a second, then immediately joined the fray.
When it came to listening to the young lady, he was never wrong!
"Hoo!"
At that moment, Wanna was relentlessly pursuing Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Zheng Ke leaped forward and delivered a powerful kick to Wanna's back.
"Die!"
"You die too!"
Wanna, with her sharp senses, spun around abruptly.
Her eyes were filled with furious hatred, and she extended her sharp claws towards Zheng Ke's leg.
The next second.
*Thump!*
*Screech!*
A dull thud, followed by the sound of tearing fabric.
Blood splattered.
Zheng Ke cried out in pain as he fell to the ground, unable to put weight on one leg.
Five deep gashes marked his leg, blood flowing profusely.
"Heh heh."
Wanna let out a hoarse chuckle, bringing her long, sharp nails to her mouth.
Dripping with sweet, fresh blood and flesh, she savored it with a contented hum.
"Found you!"
A childish voice called from behind.
Lin Fan seized the moment of Wanna's得意忘形, launching a swift attack, appearing behind her in an instant.
A strong arm clamped around her neck, while the other hand moved to her forehead, pressing a pressure point. Lin Fan then rapidly circulated his purple energy.
"Ah~"
Wanna let out a non-human scream.
She thrashed her claws wildly, clawing at Lin Fan's arm.
In an instant, Lin Fan's arm was bleeding profusely.
"Help me!"
Lin Fan yelled at Zheng Ke.
"Okay."
Seeing that Lin Fan had a plan, Zheng Ke, forgetting their previous animosity, rushed forward.
One held her head, the other her legs, pinning her to the ground. Despite her desperate struggles, they held her fast.
Lin Fan placed his palm on her forehead.
"Ah~"
A radiant purple glow ignited, accompanied by an ear-splitting shriek.
Billowing black mist emerged.
The ghost infant's venomous gaze fell upon Lin Fan, its hatred almost tangible.
"Perish!"
Lin Fan intensified the power of his purple energy.
The potent purple energy seeped into Wanna's forehead, strand by strand.
A foul stench wafted out.
But Lin Fan and Zheng Ke ignored it, their grips tightening on Wanna's limbs.
Zheng Ke's muscles tensed to their absolute limit.
He found it hard to believe that Wanna, usually so frail and gentle, could possess such strength.
"Gurgle!"
A guttural gurgling sound emanated from Wanna's throat as she opened her mouth wide, trying to bite Lin Fan's arm.
"Still not behaving?"
Lin Fan exerted all his strength, tightening his grip on Wanna's neck.
A cracking sound echoed.
Wanna's head bent at a terrifying angle, the vertebrae in her neck clearly visible, making one doubt if they would snap any second.
"Zheng Ke, how are you doing?"
Zheng Yue, still in the bedroom, wanted to check.
"Miss, don't come out!"
Zheng Ke shouted, afraid that Wanna in her current state would terrify his young lady.
"Is Lin Fan alright?"
Zheng Yue was more concerned about the mysterious Lin Fan.
After all, Lin Fan possessed extraordinary skills.
Zheng Ke, on the other hand, was just an ordinary warrior.
If there were any demons or monsters, Lin Fan was surely the one to rely on.
"He's..."
Zheng Ke felt a flicker of annoyance. He looked up at Lin Fan and replied, "He's performing an exorcism on Wanna. Miss, please rest assured."
Zheng Yue let out a sigh of relief, her legs suddenly weakening, nearly causing her to collapse.
Leaning against the cabinet, she listened to the ghostly wails from outside, her body slowly slumping.
A while later.
The strange cries outside grew fainter.
Under Lin Fan's assault, the ghost infant was severely weakened.
"Don't let your guard down, be careful of a counterattack."
Lin Fan cautioned.
Wanna, thinking her ruse had been seen through, suddenly writhed.
Zheng Ke yelped in surprise and scrambled to press down on Wanna's lower body.
*Thump thump thump!*
Wanna thrashed like a beached fish, desperately trying to buck them off, to throw off Zheng Ke and Lin Fan.
Lin Fan and Zheng Ke gritted their teeth, pressing down with all their might, refusing to let go.
