Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Resentful Spirit_1

Ning Fan strode towards Shen Bingying, having just thrown the Amulet that landed on her.

"Save me! Save me! Please save my life! If you can save me, I can give you a lot of money!"

Shen Bingying scrambled to Ning Fan’s side, desperately clinging to his feet, pleading earnestly.

"Ning Fan! What, what’s going on?"

"Mr. Ning, those are malevolent spirits, you—you must be careful!"

Behind him, Xu Yourong and Ge Tiangang had also caught up, and upon seeing what was unfolding before them, they spoke in alarm and fear.

"Both of you, fall back."

Ning Fan said indifferently, then looked down at Shen Bingying and said, "You too, fall back."

Thereafter, Ning Fan took a step towards the black Qi.

Shen Bingying got up with a mixture of rolling and crawling, running to the side of Xu Yourong and Ge Tiangang, trembling all over.

Xu Yourong was also pale; she had previously told Ning Fan that tomb exploration was interesting simply as an excuse to be with him, but she actually feared these things the most.

"These black Qi are called malevolent spirits, formed naturally over time by the people or objects buried in the Underground Palace, but ordinary spirits wouldn’t be this powerful. These spirits being so formidable means that the owner of this Underground Palace is probably no ordinary person..."

While explaining, Ge Tiangang continued to retreat with the two women, his face also full of dread as he pondered to himself.

If he had come alone today and encountered these ferocious spirits, he would either have to flee immediately or die right here.

But now...

Ge Tiangang looked towards Ning Fan at the front, hoping he could handle the spirits, otherwise, he would certainly turn and flee.

Hiss hiss hiss...

At this moment, various spirits, drawn by Ning Fan, slowly floated in mid-air, gradually moving closer to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan glanced at the Amulet he had thrown towards Shen Bingying, which was now dim and dark, evidently depleted of power.

An Amulet had only blocked three malevolent spirits and had not managed to destroy them – it merely injured them.

So, with dozens, perhaps hundreds of spirits here, relying only on Amulets was clearly not going to be enough.

"Time to get to work."

Ning Fan infused Spiritual Power into the Jade ring on his hand, and in an instant, one large and one small Filial Aura flew out.

Hiss!

As the Filial Aura burst forth, they saw the multitude of spirits and immediately emitted an excited hiss.

To the Filial Aura, these spirits were all food!

Hiss hiss hiss hiss...

The hundreds of spirits also sensed the Filial Aura and, not to be outdone, made noise in defiance.

Both sides instantly clashed with each other, fighting viciously.

The Filial Aura was stronger than the malevolent spirits; in a one-on-one situation, they could easily tear and devour a cluster of spirits.

However, they were vastly outnumbered.

The Filial Aura kept tearing apart spirits, but more of them kept coming relentlessly, tearing at the Filial Aura.

These spirits were much stronger than Corpse Qi, and with their numbers being like ants that could bite to death an elephant, the Filial Aura quickly fell into disadvantage and looked to be overwhelmed and consumed by the multitude!

Ning Fan shook his head; it seemed he had to take matters into his own hands.

Actually, it was his first time seeing spirits like these, which according to Ge Tiangang could be considered similar to the Corpse Qi and Filial Aura, all manifestations formed from death.

Had it been before he received his mother’s legacy, Ning Fan would never have believed in the existence of these things.

But having received his mother’s legacy, his vision had greatly expanded, and how could these spirits frighten him now?

"You entities were born from death, it’s best you cease to exist."

Ning Fan uttered a low command and pulled out a stack of Amulets, throwing them one after another at the spirits.

Although Amulets were designed for defense, being thrown by Ning Fan like darts, they became offensive weapons.

Hiss hiss hiss...

The spirits that were hit by the Amulets cried out strangly, as their bodies twisted, shrank, and dissipated.

On average, an Amulet could eliminate about one cluster of spirits.

But numbers don’t lie, and there were just too many spirits!

Ning Fan had only about a dozen Amulets in his hand, and they were quickly used up.

The Filial Aura had barely managed to fight to a draw with a dozen spirits.

The remaining tens of spirits all leaped towards Ning Fan.

Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed, and Spiritual Power covered his hands as he dashed towards the onslaught of spirits.

Thump thump thump...

With Spiritual Power enveloping his hands, Ning Fan was able to send a cluster of spirits flying with each palm strike, but he couldn’t obliterate them, as the wounded spirits flew back to attack once more.

For a moment, although Ning Fan kept repelling the spirits, his Spiritual Power began to deplete rapidly.

Seeing this, it wouldn’t be long before the situation became dangerous.

"Ning Fan, take this Amulet of mine quickly!"

Xu Yourong, in utter desperation, took out her own Amulet and shouted towards Ning Fan.

Despair once again crossed Shen Bingying’s face. She had thought that Ning Fan was a lifesaving straw, but now it seemed that even he was a clay Buddha crossing a river—hardly able to save himself!

As for Ge Tiangang, his feet had already moved half a step back, ready to abandon the two women and make his own escape!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

At this point, the tens of spirits as if possessing a shared consciousness, combined into a formation and shot towards Ning Fan like a volley of missiles.

Thump thump thump thump thump...

Ning Fan swung his arms, repeatedly delivering palm strikes, until at last, his Spiritual Power was exhausted!

Whoosh!

A cluster of spirits finally broke through, lunging onto Ning Fan’s hand.

Instantly, Ning Fan’s hand turned pitch black.
