However, it was still a step too late. One of the ghost officials tried to block the black light with the water and fire stick in his hand, but was interrupted. The black light went straight through his chest. The other one was hit directly on the head by the black light, and together with the previous one, he turned into a white paper silhouette and spontaneously combusted.
In just a few breaths, two of the four ghost officials died and one was injured. The remaining one could not control the water ghost at all, and the ghost broke free from its chains and escaped.
Just when Shen Luo thought that the water ghost was rescued, the water beast suddenly rushed to him and opened its mouth to suck.
An invisible gravitational force suddenly emerged from its huge, pitch-black mouth, and it actually sucked the water ghost directly over and swallowed it into its stomach. Then, as if it had taken a tonic, a layer of black light appeared on its body.
After swallowing the water ghost, it was still not satisfied. It opened its mouth and sucked, then pulled the injured ghost over and swallowed it into its stomach. The black light on its body suddenly became brighter, and a strong murderous aura emanated from its whole body.
"You bold ghost, you actually dared to eat the ghost messenger alive, you are seeking death." The pale-faced scholar was furious and shouted loudly.
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already floated over, and he stomped his feet heavily on the back of the river beast like a mountain falling down.
There was a loud bang!
The river-controlling beast was hit by a huge force, and its limbs suddenly bent and it fell to the ground.
The pale-faced scholar standing on his back suddenly stretched out a hand from his sleeve, holding a black brush about a foot long.
Shen Luo's eyes fell on the black brush, and he immediately felt that it looked very familiar. Just as he was wondering, he heard the pale-faced scholar shouting, "Hegui subdued the demon, hooked the soul and led the spirit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Confucian robe on his body changed, and a layer of dark green flames ignited as if it was on fire.
As the fireworks passed, the scholar's robe disappeared, replaced by a set of yamen runner's uniform that was not much different from the standard one worn by the ghost catcher. The slight difference was that there was a palm-sized copper plate on his waist with the words "Yinsi" engraved on it.
At the same time, the pale-faced scholar's face also changed. It became longer and longer while becoming redder, and suddenly turned into a red horse face.
"The Horse-Faced Soul-Catching Demon, it's you!" The moment Shen Luo saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but screamed.
The shout was quite loud and apparently reached the ears of Horse-Faced Monster.
He couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, slowed down his movements, and looked towards Shen Luo.
But at this moment, the water beast under him suddenly turned over like a bull, arched its back, pushed the horse's face down, turned its body, and ran towards the bridge head with all four hooves.
"Evil creature, where are you going!" Upon seeing this, the Horse-Faced Soul-Catcher made a hand gesture, pointed the tip of his pen into the air, and let out a loud shout.
The next moment, a red light suddenly flashed on the back of the river-suppressing water beast, and the mark of a red spider lily suddenly emerged, turning into an octagonal rune light array, covering the water beast's head.
A restraining force emanated from the light array, preventing the water beast from running and almost freezing it in place.
The horse-faced figure chased after it and landed in front of the river-suppressing beast. He held a pen in one hand and kept writing in the air in front of him. Dark red runes emerged and condensed into a circular rune array in mid-air.
