The unfortunate soul whom Gu Shi had grabbed as a human shield turned out to be the only female disciple among the three brought by Sect Leader Cheng Zaili of the Tao Sect.
She just happened to be standing closest to Gu Shi, with no inkling that such an event would occur.
Before anyone could react, the female ghost's claw swept across her face, leaving a deep, bone-exposing, flesh-turning scratch from the temple through the entirety of her face down to her chin.
The female disciple covered her face, screaming repeatedly, as the corpse poison on the female ghost's claws instantly spread over her cheeks and crept toward other parts of her body.
In a moment's time, her face had turned pitch black.
The female ghost, clearly dissatisfied with her new target, raised her claws, intending to strike again.
