If a Shousui man confronted evil spirits, it was a straightforward clash, with neither side gaining any advantage, relying solely on skills.
But the Ghost Walker's Path was different, allowing them to achieve a lot with little effort, never using more than necessary.
Ironically, the things Ghost Walkers often encountered could only be dealt with using such minimalistic tactics; a head-on confrontation might lead to failure.
For instance, like now, faced with this eerie and sinister entity rushing directly at Hu Ma, intending both to interrupt Hu Ma's chanting and to forcibly devour and merge with him.
Relying on this Magic Altar for a direct confrontation, even the Gate Guardian Stone that had supported them for a decade might not withstand it; Hu Ma's Shousui body might also find no advantage.
Thus, Hu Ma lit this candle.
