The skin was a pale purple with a hint of red, not the blood-red hue of a corpse, but more translucent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
A thin worm suddenly emerged from his ear and quickly inserted into his nose.
A tingling sensation surged up, as if there were fine worms wriggling beneath the skin!
Lao Gong squeezed his eyes hard, urging us to run.
My father held my shoulder and pulled me slowly backwards...
The feeling that had been lingering now vanished completely. I no longer wanted to search the room.
The man lying on the bed was the Taoist who had been troubled by the blood of a deceased person.
After leaving the room, Lao Gong took a deep breath, and then a pull force came into play, causing the door to close slowly.
Later, Lao Gong mumbled something incoherently in his mouth, the sound was particularly faint and could only be heard by me and my father.
In the next moment, Lao Gong rolled in a certain direction.
My father's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he immediately rushed in that direction. Of course, I dared not stop either.
The Yin-Yang Master understands the orientation of sand and water, the Yin-Yang layout. Lao Gao indeed does not know the way around here, but if he just calculates roughly, he will understand it.
Within a few minutes, we passed through the large mansion and arrived at the front door of the residence that we had never been before.
The inside of the vermilion door had many horizontal bars, showing the thickness of the door.
The ground was covered with a red carpet, ready for the newlyweds to walk on.
However, in over twenty years, everything had turned into a lifeless silence, and Qi Yoyo would never have the chance to survive and leave this place again.
"It was a narrow escape... We must never come here again. The Taoist's body is no weaker than Xin Bo," my father muttered.
Xin Bo?
These two characters slightly sounded familiar.
I faintly recalled that during the time in the dungeon of Hei City Temple, there was a person who was imprisoned for offending Xin Bo. We also saved a woman in the temple and gave her all the keys to the dungeon. That woman was the daughter of a prisoner.
It seems that Xin Bo in Hei City Temple is not only highly respected but also stronger in power.
My dad walked forward and pulled the door open.
Lao Gao finally dared to breathe heavily, and with a creaking sound, the door was fully opened.
Suddenly, Lao Gao shouted loudly, "Master, be careful!"
The ghostly voice was eerie, yet incredibly penetrating, causing a sudden shift in the atmosphere throughout the courtyard!
And my father was pierced through the chest with a sword, flying backward and crashing onto a pavilion with a loud thud, causing the pavilion to collapse instantly!
For a moment, my father was silent, and it was unclear if he was alive or dead!
My heart was filled with terror, as if I were facing a formidable enemy!
Daring not to look at my father, I knew danger was outside the mansion.
Stay silent,
A silence akin to an extreme point!
No one entered from outside the mansion.
At the pavilion, my father was crawling, making painful groans and a faint moan.
No matter how strong a person is, it's hard to endure bone fracture and tendon rupture.
"Who!"
I couldn't bear it any longer, and loudly shouted.
There was a heavy thud, and a figure fell in!
As she hit the ground, she rolled continuously, making a loud thud, landing inside the collapsed pavilion — it was my mother!
My mother's body was much weaker than my father's, and she was directly thrown unconscious in one fell swoop.
"Lu Xianshen, how come you're too scared to move an inch?"
The voice carried a slight hint of old age, yet it was full of vitality.
Miao Yi!
The sound of footsteps drew near, and a tall figure halted at the mansion's gate.
A round face, exuding an inexplicable ease, Miao Yi's eyes were cold, yet his face was smiling.
"Daring and presumptuous, how dare you disrupt the formations I set up in Juqu Mountain. Even more sinister and cunning, you even followed Lu Muye and Gu Qing two people. If it weren't for you breaking the formation, causing the Three Martial Sage's statue to react, I would really let you escape!"
"Indeed, as the dragon begets dragon, and the phoenix begets phoenix, you Lu Xianshen are also someone who digs up graves and exhumed corpses."
Miao Yi spoke in a resounding voice, commanding, "You! For disrupting my formation in Juqu Mountain, you deserve to die! Lu Muye and Gu Qing, for desecrating the grave of my former deputy abbot, causing his body to be left outside and for allowing him to be infected with pestilence, you deserve to die even more!"
"Crimes and sins upon crimes, today, I will crush you to ashes!"
Miao Yi's tone was truly righteous and unwavering, carrying a grand righteousness.
I was trembling internally, my hands clenching into fists tightly!
I opened my eyes wide, staring fixedly at Miao Yi, filled with hatred that almost pierced through my chest. Inch upon inch, rivers of blood kept rising to the surface!
"Did the Law Image of the Three Martial Sages let you come?"
"You've personified the meaning of being sanctimonious. Even with the power of the Immortal of the Path, can you descend from such a large Juqu Mountain in less than an hour?"
"Or are you already in the form of a cicada, with your divine being manifested?"
"You have been following me!"
"You... are trying to kill me!"
"Because you think that once I join Juqu Mountain, you won't like it."
"Because you think that the Lu family is in the wrong, and it's wrong at its core. Even if they possess Tian Gong Spring and benefit from what I mentioned, you still can't see it!"
"What you see is only your own interests! You are nothing more than a fake Taoist, and you are not even a patch on the Immortal of the Path!"
I spoke with certainty, my words like precious gems!
"Reckless!" Miao Yi's face suddenly showed a trace of anger.
"It's because I've hit the nail on the head that you look so panicked!" I wouldn't stop there, shouting again fiercely!
"Find death!"
Miao Yi intertwined his hands and suddenly swept forward.
Two peach-wood swords were suddenly flung out, shooting straight towards my chest!
Withdrawing the Gao Tian Chu, I quickly swung it.
It was clearly made of wood, but Miao Yi's strength was too profound. The impact on the Gao Tian Chu produced a sound akin to metal striking stone.
"You dare resist? Hmph!"
Miao Yi stepped forward with his right leg and formed a palm gesture with one hand.
His strength was too profound, and I barely heard him chant. All I saw was a flash of a container voice.
Two talismans suddenly shot out from his sleeve, one directly towards my face, and the other heading straight for Lao Gao!
"We're dead! We're dead!"
Lao Gao couldn't avoid Miao Yi's attack, and he shrieked.
I roared in a low voice, stepping forward, my arms swinging simultaneously. I struck one talisman with the Gao Tian Chu and lunged at the other with the Gao Tian Sword!
There was a faint rustling sound.
One talisman was shattered by the Gao Tian Chu, while the other was directly pierced by the Gao Tian Sword!
But I didn't have time, nor did I feel any joy; Miao Yi had already disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in front of me!
A heavy slap landed on my chest!
I felt as if my body had been pierced through!
I was thrown backward with great force!
I collided with a wall, the pain felt like all my bones were shattered...
Crushing.
Complete crushing!
The Immortal of the Path actually had no intention of killing me. Plus, there was a remnant of the Heavenly Immortal at that time, how could I have suffered such severe injuries?
To be honest, this was the first and only time I faced a true mortal in a hand-to-hand combat.
Not... facing someone, but being pounded by someone without mercy!
"Huh? I didn't expect to not die..."
Miao Yi appeared very surprised and contemplated deeply.
