I can rewind time to prevent death

At this moment, Yan Junze dared not open the Black Spirit Umbrella, because these guys were connected head to tail. Who knew if their powers were united, and if he rashly opened the umbrella, it was unknown whether it could eliminate so many Possession Spirits at once.

However, after a test just now, he could confirm that as long as he got involved, at least two or three Possession Spirits would latch onto him.

Rewind!

Time rewound to before Yan Junze touched the person with the raised arm. He turned back and asked Gao Meng, "Brother Gao, when the time comes, can you strike directly and interrupt the black qi spreading towards me?"

Gao Meng did not understand for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

Yan Junze explained, "I plan to draw out a small part of the Possession Spirits, and I'm confident I can break them one by one. Just help me block the subsequent Possession Spirits without touching them, preventing these guys from swarming out. Just don't direct all their attention towards me."

Understanding, Gao Meng asked, "Are you confident you can kill them?"

Yan Junze raised the Black Spirit Umbrella in his hand but said nothing.

"No problem," Gao Meng nodded. His body slightly swelled, his blood-red eyes shone even brighter as he fixed his gaze on Yan Junze's movements, ready to spring into action.

After signaling to Gao Meng that he was about to start, Yan Junze stretched out his right hand and slowly reached towards the raised arm.

Just like before the Rewind, the black qi had already begun to spread before his fingers could fully touch the other person.

With experience from before, Yan Junze sensed quickly, and soon his arm was entwined with black qi.

He immediately retreated, as did the other Semi-Spirit Bodies, while Gao Meng watched his movements unblinkingly.

"Now!" Yan Junze suddenly said.

Gao Meng's blood-red pupils flared brightly, and the things in front of him seemed to twist under the Blood Gleam.

Heeding Yan Junze's words, he didn't touch the black qi with his hands. Clearly, this method consumed a great deal of his energy, but the power was just as astonishing.

The Blood Gleam seemed to possess a cutting function, forcibly splitting the affected magnetic field.

Yan Junze sensed that there were exactly two Possession Spirits on his side. He signaled Gao Meng to stop, and immediately opened the Black Spirit Umbrella, enveloping his body within.

Under the umbrella, three forces converged to create a powerful repelling and crushing force, squeezing the two struggling and frantically colliding Possession Spirits into two black spheres that burst with a bang.

This time, Yan Junze was prepared. Though he was holding the handle of the umbrella, he immediately stepped aside. The blast of air buffeted him so fiercely that he could hardly open his eyes, and he ended up disheveled, though it was much better than if he had been unprepared.

With two less Possession Spirits on the other side, the situation seemed a bit more relaxed. Of the five people originally standing still, the second one, the four-star Exorcist Lin Guo, moved slightly. It was evident that his arm was slowly lowering.

However, despite moving, it was still very slow and labored.

"One more time!" Yan Junze said.

Gao Meng nodded without hesitation.

Because he had to block the Possession Spirits from a distance, he had exerted all his might, consuming a lot of energy and momentarily unable to speak.

But Gao Meng was clear that he could only trigger the "Blood Gleam" one more time, and this Semi-Spirit Body would likely fade away.

However, there was no time to worry about that now. Judging from the reactions of the five people, they were close to breaking free, and Yan Junze's strategy clearly worked well.

Just as he was about to touch the raised hand again, a wave of black qi spread toward him.

Yan Junze lingered for a moment before retracting his hand, and as the suction occurred, more black qi began to envelop him.

This time it felt intense. Yan Junze sensed that there was a bit too much black qi. Without time to think further, he immediately said, "Cut it off now!"

Gao Meng's Blood Gleam erupted immediately, the blood-light-enshrouded magnetic field trembled, blocking the Possession Spirits that continued to surge towards Yan Junze.

This time, however, it was clearly not as easy as before. Gao Meng trembled all over, having used up all his strength, his mouth wide open, he emitted a deep roar.

A hand formed of black qi, which was originally preparing to follow the previous black qi toward Yan Junze, seemed to be in pain under the Blood Gleam and quickly withdrew, and the black qi was finally interrupted. A large mass of black qi enveloping a Possession Spirit surged into Yan Junze's body.

Yan Junze had already covered his whole body with the Black Spirit Umbrella once again.

This time, he felt there were more than three Possession Spirits in this mass of black qi.

Indeed, the original three forces inside the umbrella pressed down hard, and the mass of black qi was forcibly divided into four streams, forming four black spheres.

The four black spheres kept colliding, trying to break free, but the structure within the Black Spirit Umbrella, like an invisible net, made it impossible for them to escape.

This time it took a little longer, about twenty seconds, before the four spheres burst one by one.

Since the black qi had already detached from his body, Yan Junze let go of the handle of the umbrella altogether. The Black Spirit Umbrella eerily stood suspended in mid-air, not falling.

Yan Junze stepped back a few paces, watching the four spheres burst one after another. The wave of energy released inside the umbrella did not reach him.

However, after the four spheres exploded, it seemed that a smaller sphere was suddenly sucked into the umbrella and disappeared without a trace.

Yan Junze was startled, walked over to grab the handle of the umbrella, and looked carefully, but found nothing amiss.
