As the sword light flashed, Zhou Yingting vanished from her original position.

When she reappeared, Zhou Yingting was already in front of the black-clad woman.

The black-clad woman clearly hadn't expected Zhou Yingting's sword to be so powerful.

Before she could react, she saw the sword light sweeping towards her.

Seeing this, the black-clad woman panicked, and with a swipe of her hands, a spray of blood erupted.

Her face instantly turned deathly pale.

However, this move wasn't futile, as the little ghosts hidden in the darkness shrieked at the sight of the blood and lunged towards her.

The sword light intended for the opponent first struck the little ghosts.

But Zhou Yingting's sword light passed through the little ghosts and heavily landed on the opponent.

With this strike, there was no sound; the sword simply pierced through the opponent's body.

The sword light shone from behind her body.

This scene caught Wu Zhongyi and others' attention, and they looked over instinctively.

Upon seeing Zhou Yingting's sword penetrate the opponent's body, they were stunned, their gazes filled with bewilderment.

The power of this sword exceeded their expectations.

Zhou Yingting's strength is so formidable!

At this moment, Wu Zhongyi and others exchanged glances, their eyes full of shock.

They too had tried to deal with this woman earlier, but all their attacks were neutralized.

It seemed the opponent had extraordinarily strong defensive measures, and they couldn't break through.

Yet Zhou Yingting's sword cut her in half; this attack power... is terrifying.

With this thought, they stared dumbfounded at Zhou Yingting.

Zhou Yingting had already sheathed her sword and stood, instinctively glancing at her weapon, seeing it was unmarred, she continued to gaze at the woman.

"Don't be careless, this woman might not be dead yet, as the surroundings haven't cleared."

Zhou Yingting warned the others who seemed to relax a bit.

The area remained pitch black, uncertain of what the woman had done.

Hearing this, Wu Zhongyi and others quickly looked at the woman.

She was clearly split in two, yet she seemed not to be dead.

Instead, she summoned nearby ghosts to reconnect her severed parts.

It appeared she intended to heal using those ghosts.

Seeing this, Wu Zhongyi's expression changed, and he rushed forward, "No, don't let her succeed!"

Given her strangeness, who knows what would happen if she succeeded.

Under the current circumstances, the best option is to kill her outright!

With this in mind, Wu Zhongyi hastily called others to attack the woman.

The woman clearly ignored Wu Zhongyi and his group's attack, focusing solely on Zhou Yingting.

Through their earlier encounter, she was sure.

Wu Zhongyi and others weren't a threat, only Zhou Yingting was.

If she guarded against Zhou Yingting, she could leave safely.

Noticing her actions, Wu Zhongyi and others saw her disregard for them and focus on Zhou Yingting, making them furious.

"Kill her!"

Wu Zhongyi shouted, igniting a fire in his hand and struck fiercely.

As he attacked, the entire room lit up, and even the surrounding darkness faded slightly.

But when he struck down, the strange entity attached to the woman opened its mouth to bite Wu Zhongyi's hand.

Wu Zhongyi was about to attack in anger but paused, pulling back his hand quickly.

Though not afraid of fighting her, the entity on her was truly frightening.

After all, he saw Fang You's tragedy firsthand, naturally not daring to take risks.

His halt led the others to also stop, focusing their gaze on Zhou Yingting.

Zhou Yingting could tell what was on their minds by their looks and approached the woman.

In her hand was a candle.

As the candle approached, the strange entity attached to the woman started to struggle.

The entity wanted to detach from her, but the woman was unwilling.

Her survival depended on the entity; if it left, she would surely die.

Seeing Zhou Yingting approach with the candle, fear gripped her, knowing the entity feared the candle.

She hurriedly tore remnants of her black robe to cover the entity.

She realized from their earlier clash that if she blocked the candlelight, Zhou Yingting's candle would be ineffective.

But Wu Zhongyi and others wouldn't let her succeed.

If they couldn't deal with the entity, surely they could handle the cloth?

If not tear it, at least take it away.

Thinking this, they rushed forward, trying to burn the cloth and seize it.

As they advanced, Zhou Yingting wasn't idle, holding the Han Sword and striking at the woman.

Instantly, a bright light akin to sword energy rushed towards the woman.

This sword energy was far fiercer than before.

The woman, seeing it, her pupils constricted, instinctively trying to evade.

Already familiar with the sword light's power, she didn't want to experience it again.

But it was so fast, she couldn't dodge, and in an instant, it was before her.

The entity at her waist opened its mouth, swallowing part of the sword light.

Yet the remaining sword light pierced through her body.

The light's momentum didn't stop, striking the wall behind, leaving a huge, neat cut.

Pierced through, the woman let out a cry of pain, desperately grasping the entity to stitch her body.

She tried to hold the entity, but it struggled, trying to escape.

Holding the candle, Zhou Yingting rapidly approached.

As the candle neared, the entity began to turn transparent.

It seemed the candlelight could harm the entity.

Experiencing this, Zhou Yingting raised an eyebrow.

This candle was handy, able to harm the entity.

Buying this candle was indeed a wise choice!

Thinking this, Zhou Yingting continued towards the entity.

It was time to strike while they were down.

The entity, unable to bear it anymore, bit the woman, tearing her arm.

Then, with the arm, it vanished in the darkness.

After the entity escaped, the woman's split body burst apart, her blood like foul-smelling sewer water, nauseating.

Zhou Yingting, seeing her fall, stepped back, cautiously watching her.

These types, at death's door, might have some tricks for pulling others down.
