Urban Immortal Lord

And clearly, when the green will-o'-the-wisp could not get close to Xia Tian, ​​he confirmed that his inner guess was correct. The "Humanity Law" he practiced was indeed able to restrain the spells cast by otherworldly beings. In fact, Xia Tian sensed with his divine sense that the will-o'-the-wisp was retreating steadily and was in a state of complete suppression!

"Listen up, you ghost ahead! I advise you to surrender, or I will beat you to a pulp and condemn you to eternal damnation!" Xia Tian raised an eyebrow, his gaze ruthlessly fixed on the female ghost in mid-air, and said in a cold voice.

"Arrogant!" The female ghost let out a strange cry from mid-air and said in a sinister voice, "You ignorant brat, how dare you ruin my good time! Today I will devour you alive!"

"Stubborn to the end!" Xia Tian shook his head upon seeing this, and then his spiritual power surged suddenly. Immediately afterwards, a phantom three-foot-long sword appeared on his back, condensing into a sword aura. The long sword was horizontal in the air, facing the female ghost from afar.

This was the second time Xia Tian had activated the sword spirit. He knew that with his current strength, if he were to confront this female ghost head-on, he could protect himself, but he would not be able to subdue or kill her.

It should be noted that, according to Xia Tian's divine sense, this female ghost's cultivation level was several levels higher than his. Even though his "Humanity Law" could suppress otherworldly beings, he was at most invincible.

Therefore, Xia Tian decided to activate the sword spirit. This time, because he tried his best to suppress the power of the sword spirit, it did not create a strange phenomenon in the world like last time.

"The Spirit of the Sword and Fairy!"

In mid-air, the female ghost showed deep fear upon seeing this, her expression shifting uncertainly, already showing signs of retreating. Then, she glanced at the little girl in the courtyard with a gloomy gaze, instantly revealing a fierce glint, and a wave of malevolent energy swept out.

"court death!"

Xia Tian was furious when he saw the female ghost in the sky attacking the girl not far away. He immediately activated his sword and swung his sword. The sword was as powerful as a rainbow, cutting through the sky and slashing down at the female ghost with unstoppable force.

"what!"

The sword spirit pierced directly through the female ghost's body. The female ghost let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground, but the sword spirit's power remained undiminished, firmly pinning the female ghost to the ground.

The next second, Xia Tian took a step forward and appeared directly beside the female ghost. He made a hand seal, ready to strike, and looked indifferently at the female ghost who was pinned to the ground, saying, "I'll give you two choices: submit or die."

The female ghost's form is now illusory, and she has been severely injured by the sword spirit. Her life hangs in the balance, all thanks to Xia Tian's single thought.

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to submit!" the female ghost pleaded, looking pitifully at Xia Tian, ​​her beauty captivating, a far cry from her previous ferocious appearance.

"Words are no proof." Xia Tian shook his head. He naturally wouldn't easily believe the female ghost's words. Then, he bit his middle finger, flicked it, and a drop of blood appeared in front of the female ghost. He then said, "Don't resist. Release your consciousness and sign the master-servant contract. Then I will spare your life."

The method Xia Tian used was naturally the contract technique obtained from the scattered memories of the Hermit of the Forgotten River. It should be noted that the Hermit of the Forgotten River was a cultivator in the ghost realm in his previous life, so he naturally had the means to control ghosts, and this means was the soul contract technique.

Seeing this, the female ghost hesitated for a moment before obediently releasing her divine sense. She knew that once the master-servant contract was established, life and death were entirely in the hands of the caster.

When Xia Tian saw that the female ghost had released her divine sense, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that activating the sword spirit required too much spiritual energy, and he couldn't hold on for long.

Summer dared not delay any longer and quickly channeled a wisp of spiritual power, enveloping his heart's blood, into the female ghost's consciousness. Soon, he planted the master-servant contract in the female ghost's sea of ​​consciousness.

With the planting of the master-servant contract, Xia Tian sensed that his divine sense had established a profound connection with the female ghost. It seemed that as long as he wished, he could activate his divine sense to judge the female ghost's life and death.

Afterwards, Xia Tian withdrew his sword spirit and staggered back a few steps, clearly due to excessive depletion of spiritual energy and some physical exhaustion.

"This servant greets Master!" The female ghost stood up and bowed to Xia Tian when she saw that Xia Tian had withdrawn his sword spirit.

Seeing this, Xia Tian said in a low voice, "You should leave now. I will summon you after I have finished dealing with things here."

Upon hearing this, the female ghost transformed into a gust of yin wind and vanished directly from the backyard.

After doing all this, Xia Tian looked up at the crowd and saw that they were all still in shock, clearly not yet recovered from their previous horror.

"Master Xia, thanks to you this time, I was able to escape with my life. I am deeply grateful and will do anything to help you in the future!" Zhang Banxian was the first to come to his senses and then said to Xia Tian with a respectful expression.

"Alright, you stinky Taoist priest, your skills are lacking, yet you dare to catch ghosts. It's truly an eye-opener for me, hahaha." Xia Tian looked at Zhang Banxian and laughed and scolded.

"Isn't this all for the sake of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, sacrificing my life for justice?" Zhang Banxian quickly said with a smile.

Seeing this, Xia Tian said irritably, "Come on, I know what kind of person you are. You actually dared to cheat and swindle people, even coming to the S Director's house. You really have a lot of nerve."

As the two were talking, everyone slowly came to their senses and began to greet Xia Tian.

"Master, thank you for subduing the female ghost and saving my daughter's life." Hu S and his wife said respectfully to Xia Tian, ​​their eyes filled with a hint of awe.

"Mr. S, you're too kind. I'm just doing what I'm asked of you," Xia Tian said calmly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant. You should know that the person standing in front of him was the mayor of M City, the head of the city, the second-in-command of M City, a deputy director-level cadre, with astonishing power.

If an ordinary person were to meet such a high-ranking official, they would probably be speechless, but clearly, Xia Tian was not among them.

Seeing that the young man in front of him was neither humble nor arrogant, and showed no fear of him whatsoever, Hu S couldn't help but think more highly of Xia Tian.

As the mayor of a city, holding a high position, he naturally knows some things about the Chinese martial arts world. People in the martial arts world are more or less arrogant, but he did not feel any arrogance in Xia Tian. Instead, he had the feeling of a king descending to earth.

"Entrusted by someone?" Mayor Hu's face showed a hint of doubt, then he looked at Lin Zhiyuan and smiled, "Old Lin, this master wasn't invited by you, was he?"

"Of course, I invited him to treat your daughter. I originally thought your youngest daughter was ill, and with Doctor Xia's miraculous medical skills, I was confident I could cure her. But I never expected that she was possessed by a ghost, and that medicine could not cure her." Lin Zhiyuan sighed and said, "What I have seen and heard today has truly broadened my horizons. Doctor Xia is incredibly powerful, and I admire him greatly."

Xia Tian shook his head, then said seriously to everyone, "I hope you can keep today's events a secret and not spread them around."

"Of course, I would have done the same even if Master Xia hadn't said so," Mayor Hu quickly replied.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xia Tian's gaze fell on the little girl in Mayor Hu's wife's arms, and he let out a sound of surprise.
