"Monster!! Surrender now!!"
Sheng Shixun, who was held high in the air by me, was also frightened by my ghostly appearance. His voice trembled, but he still pretended to be calm.
When I looked up at him, he didn't dare to meet my eyes at all. He turned his head guiltily and shouted at Gu Fancheng, "Young Master Gu, you and your wife are great immortals who reversed the Yin-Yang Road in Hong Kong. How can you just watch the zombies run amok in the world? They are evil creatures that will turn thousands of miles of land into a barren wasteland and leave nine out of ten houses empty!"
"Hehe..."
My gradually clearing mind was stabbed with pain again by Sheng Shixun's words. Right! I'm a monster! Si Jiangchen is also a monster!!
But the two of us always wanted to hide in the human world and be ordinary humans. We even wanted to help others...
And what had this Sheng Shixun, who was bent on becoming a god, done?!
He released the evil god, the One-Eyed Buddha Mother, and controlled the infant spirits he had killed. He... he even bewitched the ancient gods to be his henchmen to fulfill his ambition!
He was the real evil creature running amok in the world!
Sheng Shixun's hypocritical face suddenly filled my entire mind. Without thinking, I summoned all my strength and threw the man in my hand towards the secret chamber.
"Ah!!"
Sheng Shixun was like a human sandbag. With a whoosh, he was thrown onto the wall of the secret chamber.
There was a powerful forbidden spell by Si Jiangchen in the secret chamber. Like me, he couldn't enter it at all. He was bounced back and fell heavily to the ground...
"Ugh... ugh..."
Lying face down on the ground, Sheng Shixun let out a wild beast-like growl. Suddenly, he bounced straight up from the ground. Not far from him was where Lu Xiyu was standing. The moment Sheng Shixun looked at Lu Xiyu, his pupils turned blood-red. His look at Lu Xiyu was like that of a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten for hundreds of years. In an instant, he pounced on her!
"Courting death!"
Gu Fancheng's eyes had never left his wife. As soon as Sheng Shixun made a move, he had already blocked in front of Lu Xiyu.
Unexpectedly, although Sheng Shixun seemed to have lost his mind, his cunningness seemed to be innate. Seeing that Gu Fancheng had already formed a sword finger and pointed it at his forehead, he instantly felt danger approaching. He suddenly turned around and pounced on the defenseless Gu Baobao.
"Crunch!"
Gu Baobao was fully focused on protecting Lu Xiyu. She never thought that Sheng Shixun would turn towards her. In a panic, she quickly reached out her hand to push Sheng Shixun's face. This was exactly the opportunity Sheng Shixun was waiting for. He opened his mouth and bit down on Gu Baobao's wrist.
The sound of the flesh being torn was extremely ear-piercing. Gu Baobao was wearing a short-sleeved dress. A spurt of bright red blood had already splashed on her snow-white skin.
It was the result of her struggle. Sheng Shixun wanted to bite her wound desperately and suck her blood. Gu Baobao was a fox fairy. Naturally, she wouldn't sit back and wait for death. As soon as she saw that the situation was not good, she struggled free.
"Baobao!!"
Everyone in the basement exclaimed. Gu Linjun suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist and appeared in front of Sheng Shixun with a mouth full of bright red blood. In the black mist, a huge leopard opened its blood-spitting mouth and grabbed Sheng Shixun's neck. Then it raised its front paw and slapped his shoulder with a "bang". Instantly, Sheng Shixun's head was separated from his body. A stream of blood spurted out of his neck and splashed high up on the ceiling!
"You hurt Miss Baobao! Do you think you can run away?!"
Another cloud of black mist billowed. A pale, faceless ghost blocked the soul of the out-of-body Sheng Shixun.
He was a human who was almost an immortal. His soul was not in a daze when it first left his body. At this moment, he was like a Taoist who had achieved immortality through corpse dissolution. As long as he escaped from his physical body, he could achieve the body of an earthly immortal.
Sheng Shixun's attack on Lu Xiyu was not out of his mind!
He knew that he had been bitten by me. Soon, his physical body would turn into a zombie and lose his three souls. In that case, he would never have the chance to become a god again. In that instant, he decided to abandon his physical body!! In that case, if he cultivated into a ghost immortal in the state of a ghost, just like Lord Zhong Kui, it would also be a state of achieving immortality!!
When he rushed towards Lu Xiyu, he saw that the spell formed by Gu Fancheng's hands was actually a spell to suppress ghosts. At that time, he was startled. He was afraid that his thoughts had been guessed by Gu Fancheng, so he turned to attack Gu Baobao.
Sure enough, the spotted leopard couldn't hold back and fulfilled Sheng Shixun's wish.
Just as he was proudly leaving his body and wanted to hide in a secluded place to practice again, he bumped into the faceless ghost messenger head-on.
That guy was originally a great underworld messenger who captured the dead souls. Now seeing that Sheng Shixun wanted to slip away, he immediately shook the iron chain and deftly put it around his neck!
"Bold!! Bold ghost messenger, I am the body of an earthly immortal! You can't lock me up!"
Unlike ordinary people who would immediately lose consciousness when caught by the soul-catching chain, Sheng Shixun grabbed the black chain and shouted at the faceless ghost messenger!
He had already entered the Taoist register at the Mansion of the Lord of Mount Tai. He was not under the jurisdiction of the underworld.
Unexpectedly, the faceless ghost messenger was even more arrogant than him. He shook the chain and wrapped it around Sheng Shixun a few more times out of thin air. "What kind of bullshit earthly immortal body! Even if you are a great Luo immortal for hurting Miss Baobao, you won't be able to escape my punishment!"
The soul-catching chain of the underworld messengers was the result of the blessing of countless thoughts over thousands of years. Even the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had to obediently follow it to the underworld when he was locked by it back then. How could a newly dead half-immortal like Sheng Shixun catch the eye of the faceless ghost messenger?!!
He sneered twice. Countless sharp iron spikes suddenly appeared on the black chain. They were like thorns and pierced into Sheng Shixun's soul body. The intense pain that went straight into his soul made him couldn't help but let out a series of miserable screams.
"So noisy!!"
"Get him out of here!"
Gu Fancheng and Gu Linjun frowned at the same time.
The faceless ghost messenger didn't wait for Sheng Shixun to cause any more trouble. He bowed to everyone, reached out his hand and made a swipe in the void. Instantly, a long crack appeared in the air. The faceless ghost messenger dragged the screaming Sheng Shixun and disappeared into the void and darkness!
"Baobao, how are you?"
Gu Linjun reached out and supported the staggering Gu Baobao. A large piece of flesh was missing from the little girl's wrist. The bloody wound twitched, as if something alive was trying to squeeze out of the flesh.
"I... I, I seem to be done for!"
A layer of blood-red had already dyed Gu Baobao's brown glass-like pupils.
"Is Baobao going to turn into a zombie?!!" Gu Jinjin's face beside her was full of fear and worry. "It's all your fault!! You just bite people randomly!"
Gu Jinjin didn't know how to express his emotions. Suddenly, he pointed at me and said, "You... you monster! You return my Baobao!!"
I didn't expect things to develop like this either. My already chaotic mind was made even more confused by the smell of blood. When I heard Gu Jinjin's stern accusation, a voice suddenly sneered at me in my mind.
"Look, this is your end!"
The voice mocked, "In order not to harm others, you starved and ate raw corn, grass roots and tree bark. You worked so hard, but what you got was just other people's baseless blame? Why do you have to suffer for yourself?"
I knew that this voice was trying to bewitch me, so I quickly covered my ears with my hands.
"You know what you need to do!"
The voice went straight into my mind. I couldn't block it at all. "Si Jiangchen's divine sense has been destroyed by those talismans. If you want to save him, you have to become a real immortal zombie!!"
"Get out!! Get out!" I buried my head in my hands desperately, trying to block out the temptation of that voice.
"I know you can't bear to eat A Wen!"
The voice lingered around me like a ghost that could get in everywhere. "Actually, you don't have to eat him. That Lu Xiyu in front of you is the descendant of the demon king, and... that Mr. Gu, tsk tsk tsk, the reincarnation of a great demon! Eating either of them would be more useful than A Wen..."
