"Listen up inside, if you don't come out, I'll set fire to the cave entrance and smoke you damn guys to death..." Ghost Gu Hei Pao yelled hoarsely from outside.
The atmosphere inside the cave felt somewhat oppressive. No one had expected Ghost Gu Hei Pao's revenge to come so quickly, leaving them no time to prepare.
Wu Yun had a confrontation with Ghost Gu Hei Pao. If it weren't for Yue Er secretly helping by providing the Ghost Gu San, Wu Yun's bones would likely have been completely corroded by now.
Hearing Ghost Gu Hei Pao's renewed shouting, Wu Yun's face flushed, and she was about to rush out to fight him to the death. Neither side would rest until one was eliminated. However, I quickly intercepted her.
"What do you mean? You think I can't beat him?" Wu Yun directed her anger at me, giving me a look that suggested she'd make me pay if I didn't provide a reasonable explanation.
Knowing she was looking for an excuse, I played along: "Please, senior, calm your anger. He only dares to shout from outside and doesn't dare to come in. You are already exhausted from your previous battle with him. Rushing out to face him now would be falling into his trap. It's better to rest for a while and assess the situation first, wouldn't you agree?"
Wu Yun frowned and glanced at me, then shifted her gaze to Yue Er. She saw Yue Er leaning against the wall, seemingly asleep, and showing no significant reaction to the shouting outside.
She wasn't foolish. Wu Yun now understood that Yue Er was the most formidable among them, especially with the various powders she possessed, which were undoubtedly potent weapons against the Ghost Gu lineage.
Ghost Gu Hei Pao didn't know the situation inside the cave, so he naturally wouldn't dare to barge in. He could only shout from outside. He would only enter once he had ascertained their strength.
"Since you have a plan, I'll listen to your advice." Wu Yun gracefully accepted the suggestion, found a relatively comfortable spot, and sat down, ready to see how I would handle the situation.
"Brother, are you crazy? You're not planning to rush out and fight them yourself, are you?" Zhang Da Biao asked me with a dark expression, looking somewhat indignant.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid? I wouldn't do something suicidal."
"Then what do you plan to do..."
"I plan to negotiate with them," I declared with conviction.
"Ne-negotiate? Are you kidding me? Do you think they'll talk to you?" Zhang Da Biao almost choked on his own saliva, asking with disbelief.
"How will we know if we don't try?" Without further explanation, I sprinkled Ghost Gu San on myself and, under his disbelieving gaze, stepped out of the cave, warning him not to follow.
At some point, a dark cloud had drifted in, casting a somber hue over the sky, giving the impression of an impending storm.
About seven or eight meters from the cave entrance, four figures stood side by side. To be precise, there were three people and a dwarf, all shrouded in black robes. It was undoubtedly Ghost Gu Hei Pao. Su Dan Novel Network.
Another figure was a gaunt old man with an阴翳 expression. His hair had almost completely fallen out, leaving only a few sparse strands. His skin was stretched taut over his bones. If not for the occasional flicker of sharp light in his eyes, I would have mistaken him for a zombie. Behind him stood two strange figures dressed in Qing Dynasty attire, their faces plastered with yellow talismans. These two were undoubtedly zombies.
"A dwarf? This little monkey is the one who broke your Gu Gui? And injured you?" The withered old man merely glanced at me briefly before speaking to Ghost Gu Hei Pao.
"It's this brat. I don't know where he got my lost Ghost Gu San, which is why he broke my Ha Gu and injured Xiao Hong. Otherwise, I would have captured them already..."
"Useless, good-for-nothing! I told you to guard the entrance and not let outsiders in, and you couldn't even stop this little brat. What else can you do..." Ghost Gu Hei Pao's explanation, instead of clarifying, only enraged the withered old man, who berated him fiercely.
I didn't know what their relationship was, but Ghost Gu Hei Pao simply endured the scolding without a word, his eyes glinting with a dark light from within his robe, seemingly resentful.
"Little one, I won't make things difficult for you. Bring out the people in the cave. I, this old man, would like to see who dares to disrupt my affairs," the withered old man said, his voice carrying a heavy Jiangxi accent as he looked at me.
As the saying goes, one doesn't strike a smiling face. I plastered a sincere smile on my face and said, "Senior, we are merely entering the mountains to search for someone. We have no intention of offending you. We implore you to grant us a way out, to let us take our people and leave, how about that?"
"Little one, you speak well, but pleasant words are useless. Since you could break through the dwarf's Gu formation, you must have some skill. Given your apparent respect, I will grant you a complete corpse and then refine you into a zombie to serve me. How about that?"
Damn it! He spoke as if being turned into a zombie by him was the greatest honor. If I agreed, I'd be a fool.
I dropped the smile and replied directly: "You old fossil, I'm speaking politely to you, and you want to turn me into a zombie? Why don't you turn yourself into a zombie first? Go to hell! You piece of trash." After speaking, I directly made the international middle finger gesture and quickly cast the Tian Su Yin on myself.
The withered old man, who had been smiling moments ago, turned ashen-faced as if he had eaten something foul. With a single word, "Courting death," one of the zombies standing behind him flew out.
Before the zombie even reached me, a disgusting corpse stench wafted over, almost making me throw up my yesterday's leftovers.
Roar—
The zombie let out a furious roar, its claws, about a foot long, lunging directly at my chest. If they had hit, they would have pierced straight through me.
"Heavenly Gang Stars illuminate the earth, myriad spirits quickly retreat, ancestors assist me, repelling all demons in one strike! Tian Tui Yin—"
With a fierce shout, a golden light flashed from my hand. The Tian Tui Yin transformed into a golden divine dragon and slammed fiercely into the zombie's chest. The golden light, like a red-hot iron, passed through its chest.
Aowuu—
The zombie let out a pained cry, but that was all. It didn't die on the spot, but its movement speed was reduced. I regretfully slapped my forehead. How could I be so foolish? A zombie's vital spot is its head. If its head is pierced, it would be difficult for it to even jump.
After taking my blow, the zombie's eyes emitted a red glow about a foot long, and its mouth opened to reveal inch-long fangs, lunging to bite my neck.
Even before I cursed the withered old man, I had secretly cast the Tian Su Yin on myself. After dodging its bite, I once again used the Tian Tui Yin, aiming directly for its head.
Bang—
A crisp sound, like tearing leather, echoed. A hole appeared in the zombie's head, and a blackish liquid flowed out. It then collapsed softly onto the ground.
"Huh? Has the inheritor of Yin Gua appeared?"
