The man screamed in agony, feeling his strength being drained away.
But a golden light flashed by, forcing the ghost child to retreat.
Some fearful onlookers stepped back, but others, driven by curiosity, approached cautiously to catch a glimpse of the mysterious creature.
The ghost child suddenly raised its head, revealing a terrifying countenance.
"A ghost!" exclaimed the crowd, instantly thrown into panic.
They tried to retreat, but it was too late.
The ghost child had already chosen its prey and lunged towards another unfortunate soul.
"Monster!" a slightly youthful voice rang out, "Senior Sister!" Zhi Mi, dressed in a gray robe and wielding a peach wood sword, swung it towards the horrifying child.
Temporarily repelled, the child immediately unleashed its haunting web.
The web ensnared the child within its grasp.
As soon as the child made contact with the web, a sizzling sound emanated from its hands, feet, and skin.
