TSFLIP Chapter 632

“Yun Ji!” Feng Guang called his name.

He turned around and replied calmly, “Don’t be afraid.”

With no moonlight, the darkness was complete—she couldn’t even see her own hands in front of her face. Gripping tightly onto Yun Ji’s hand, she had no idea from which direction the ghost might suddenly attack. Someone wanting to rip off her face just because she was too beautiful? Now that wasn’t exactly flattering!

Thinking back to all those half-hearted years of cultivation—three days of practice, two days of slacking—she suddenly understood why Yan Yu was always so frustrated with her.

In the pitch-black silence, a sharp sound of shattering glass echoed around them. Then, beneath Feng Guang’s feet, a formation lit up in golden light. By its faint glow, she could make out the figure of the man standing protectively in front of her.

Yun Ji spoke calmly, “Don’t leave the boundary of the formation.”

As he finished speaking, a long sword gleaming with a cold light appeared in his right hand. The shards of broken glass flying toward them were deflected by waves of his sword energy, scattering harmlessly away. But then, black hair began spreading out across the walls, growing at a terrifying speed and surging toward the man with the sword.

Of course, Yun Ji wasn’t about to be injured so easily. But the strands of hair weren’t trying to hurt him—they grew back faster and faster every time they were cut by his sword, regenerating and expanding with alarming speed.

Feng Guang, still within the protective barrier, quickly realized the ghost knew she couldn’t beat Yun Ji directly. So she was trying to wear him down. No matter how powerful someone was, stamina had its limits.

But if they couldn’t find where the ghost was hiding, this could turn dangerous…

Feng Guang racked her brain, and then a lightbulb went off. She quickly pulled off her backpack and took out a thick book: The Grand Compendium of Spells—a gift from her master. Both she and Yan Yu had a copy. Yan Yu had practically mastered every page, while Feng Guang, being lazy, had barely cracked hers open. If it weren’t for Tang Xiaole, she wouldn’t have brought it at all.

Now wasn’t the time to praise her foresight. She flipped through the pages and quickly found the Eye-Opening Spell. Her master had told her that under this spell, no ghost or spirit could hide. She focused on the incantation and recited it carefully:

“Heaven’s law is clear, Earth’s law is sharp,
Yin and Yang combined, the water spirit revealed,
Gather divine light, connect Heaven and Earth,
All spells obey, Mirror of Yin and Yang,
True form appears—appear at once!”

The moment she finished the chant, her surroundings became crystal clear. If she had to describe it, it felt like someone with severe nearsightedness suddenly gaining perfect 20/20 vision. She was so focused on examining her environment that she didn’t even realize how impressive it was that she had pulled off such a difficult spell on her very first try.

Her sharpened vision scanned the space, and suddenly, she shouted toward Yun Ji, “She’s hiding in the wall to your right!”

Without hesitation, Yun Ji swung his sword in that direction. A sharp burst of sword energy exploded against the wall, tearing it apart—and the woman in white was flung from it, crashing to the floor. The black hair that had spread through the hallway instantly vanished, and the darkened lights flickered briefly before returning to normal.

Yun Ji turned to her with a look of mild surprise. “So you are good for something after all.”

“Hmph, of course I am!” Feng Guang replied proudly, strutting over to his side.

But suddenly, Yun Ji’s expression shifted. He grabbed her hand and turned swiftly, shielding her with his body.

A single strand of hair, sharp as a blade, slashed across his face. No visible wound appeared, but the skin on the side of his face began to crack, starting from a tiny line, spreading wider and wider, until finally…

His mask shattered.

And underneath, a face no one had ever seen before was revealed.
