Even though Yu Xiaoling, who was possessed by a ghost, dodged Luo Chao's two silver needles, she had to perform a movement that defied the limits of human body flexibility to avoid them.

As a result, Yu Xiaoling, under the ghost's possession, completely fractured her ankle.

With her ankle broken, it was impossible for the ghost-possessed Yu Xiaoling to stand upright physically. Seizing this opportunity, Luo Chao unleashed his full speed, holding three silver needles in each hand, launching an assault on Yu Xiaoling!

The distance between the two closed rapidly, and in an instant, Luo Chao transitioned from long-range attacks to close combat with the possessed Yu Xiaoling.

Ding ding ding——

In the darkness, Luo Chao's silver needles clashed with the ten razor-sharp claws of the possessed Yu Xiaoling, producing a crisp metallic sound.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the two were evenly matched after thirty intense rounds of combat.

In reality, Luo Chao wasn't fighting with full force because he didn't want to harm Yu Xiaoling's body. He intended to save her, and if using full force led to her body's destruction, it would defeat the purpose!

Thus, during the fight, Luo Chao employed clever strategies, targeting the acupuncture points on Yu Xiaoling's body rather than fatal spots.

This approach led to the stalemate over thirty rounds with the possessed Yu Xiaoling.

"Hehehe, there are only two minutes left until midnight, I wonder what you can do then!" sneered the ghost within Yu Xiaoling, knowing Luo Chao dared not exert full strength.

"Don't push your luck. If necessary, I'd rather make Yu Xiaoling a cripple than let her soul be taken by you!" Luo Chao glared at the ghost-possessed Yu Xiaoling, holding a silver needle.

"Oh, I'm so scared! Hehe." The possessed Yu Xiaoling ignored Luo Chao's threats and continued to taunt him.

To her, Luo Chao couldn't dare harm her as long as she was inside Yu Xiaoling.

Swish——

Just then, a shadow flashed, as Luo Chao, clutching silver needles, lunged at the possessed Yu Xiaoling once more.

"Hmph, trying again? Let me tell you, I will possess Yu Xiaoling today no matter what!" said the ghost with a fierce expression, retreating while countering Luo Chao's silver needle attacks with her claws.

Ding ding ding ding ding——

This time, Luo Chao seemed truly angered, his silver needle attacks visibly faster and more frequent.

"Hehe, it's useless, as long as I am possessing Yu Xiaoling, you won't dare to hurt me!" the possessed Yu Xiaoling retreated continuously while defending against Luo Chao's assault.

Thud! Thud!

At that moment, two distinct sounds of silver needles piercing flesh echoed in the air!

Simultaneously, the possessed Yu Xiaoling's body suddenly froze, and Luo Chao seized the opportunity, precisely stabbing a silver needle into Yu Xiaoling's crown chakra.

Yu Xiaoling's body was once again immobilized by Luo Chao's silver needles!

"Awooo!" Meanwhile, a mass of black energy emerged from Yu Xiaoling and rose into the air.

"How did you do it?!" The black shade of the ghost occasionally revealing humanoid features, demanded angrily at Luo Chao.

"Hehe, it was those two silver needles I first shot," Luo Chao pointed to the ground, "as you retreated, you stepped on them!"

"Ridiculous! This defies logic; how could silver needles stay in the ground! The cement ground is much harder than the needles, you know?" The ghost was clearly frustrated by Luo Chao's intricate setup, surprisingly referencing logic in its agitation.

Hearing "logic" from a ghost made Luo Chao find it amusing.

In the past, Luo Chao could shoot silver needles into flesh but not into cement.

The cement was significantly harder, and since the needles were made of silver, a soft metal often used to bite into currency, sticking them in the ground seemed impossible.

However, since advancing to the second layer of the Cultivation Technique, Luo Chao's strength increased dramatically, allowing him to launch needles with enough force to embed them into concrete.

Furthermore, as he launched the two needles, he infused them with his Killing Intent.

Initially, Luo Chao understood Killing Intent as merely a means to detect enemies' positions.

But after noticing that releasing it instilled fear into ghosts, he pondered if it had other unexpected uses.

He recalled an anime from Japan called "Sailing King," where characters cultivated something called Overbearing Aura, toughening weapons or armor when wrapped in it.

Inspired, Luo Chao experimentally wrapped his Killing Intent around his silver needles, unexpectedly finding it effective; the needles penetrated the concrete as smoothly as tofu!

Thus, Luo Chao slyly engaged in close combat with the possessed Yu Xiaoling, masked as an attack but truly maneuvering her into his preset needle trap!

By immobilizing the acupuncture points beneath her feet, Luo Chao was confident about stabilizing her crown chakra to restrain her movements, forcing the female ghost to reveal itself.

Luo Chao watched the ghostly figure like black mist, deliberately showing disdain. "I warned you not to dance so wildly. See? Outwitted again? Being dull even in death, are you?" Luo Chao laughed derisively.

But instead of anger, the female ghost cackled sinisterly, "Hehehe, laugh while you can; it'll be midnight in ten seconds. That's when we're at our peak! Run, or I'll drag you and Yu Xiaoling down with me!"
