Kapitel 35

She shook her head.

...

Everything happened so fast. Gu Feng, who had just been excited about suddenly being able to see in the dark space, suddenly went blind again and was plunged into boundless darkness...

This feeling is so familiar. Right, it must be the same as what happened at the Sandao Society.

Gu Feng moved his body with difficulty, and he regretted not having summoned the two of them to his side.

I can't blame myself for being reckless; it's because things changed too quickly.

Based on the speed at which it squeezed, it should have taken at least three minutes to get in, but this terrifying thing happened in just three seconds.

Just a second ago, Gu Feng was somewhat skeptical of Chu Yun'er's answer, but he immediately had no choice but to accept that what she said was true. Now, when facing it, he really felt so insignificant, powerless to do anything, and could only be manipulated.

Suddenly, Gu Feng felt a little disheartened. Faced with such a powerful monster-level opponent, according to the logic of the past, even if he worked hard for a lifetime, the strength he could achieve might not even be one ten-thousandth of its. Thinking of this, who could not feel disappointed?

"Don't be discouraged, you still have me. Believe me, as long as you live, I will definitely make you stronger than it in less than three months!"

"Really?" Gu Feng was a little incredulous; its strength was that great.

"Of course it's true."

Gu Feng sneered: "But what's the use of that? We're going to die soon, what's the point of talking about the future?"

"…………" Chu Yun'er was speechless for a moment and was also in a dilemma. Even if her true body were here, she might not be able to defeat it, let alone now that she was possessing the body of Gu Feng, which had not yet been fully developed.

Shi Xin began to feel numb. The same terrifying situation was about to befall her again. Although she had the experience from last time, she was still helpless and could only let the pain of suffocation erode her nerves. Her heart and lungs were severely lacking in oxygen. With a sliver of consciousness left, Shi Xin knew that if this continued, she would not last a minute!

And so, naturally, she remembered what had happened that day.

Ancient style, will you come to save me again?

...

"Brother Feng, save me!" A-Mei-Mao couldn't speak, but could only shout in his heart: "Although I am huge and have a lot of oxygen, I consume it much faster than a normal person. If you don't save me, I'm doomed."

In that life-or-death moment, how could Gu Feng not want to save them? But the problem was that he was already struggling to save himself, so how could he talk about anything else?

Gu Feng struggled, and with the heat in his chest, he found that his strength had increased exponentially. Last time he couldn't move at all, but now he could struggle a little.

But... it was no use. Suffocation completely rendered him unable to fight. Ask yourself, could someone who can easily break through a three-centimeter wooden board do the same when suffocating?

If you answer yes, I can only say you're bragging. Gu Feng simply couldn't withstand it. Even with his power multiplied, the suffocation wouldn't even give him a chance to breathe, let alone exert any force.

Volume 3, Chapter 55: The War Between Humans and Ghosts (Part 1)

This opponent is terrifying.

To this day, I still haven't seen his true face, yet I've been put in life-or-death situations three times because of him. In today's battle, I didn't even have a chance to catch my breath before my soul is about to perish...

Gu Feng's heart suddenly ached. He seemed to be able to hear Shi Xin and A Mao struggling and groaning in pain as they died, but he could do nothing for them!

Chu Yun'er could sense Gu Feng's current state of mind, but with only the seventh soul within her, she couldn't offer any help...

At that moment, they were all plunged into despair, awaiting death.

Chu Yun'er sensed something strange.

The traditional style has changed.

His spirit and soul had ascended to an unparalleled realm, so vast that it was about to squeeze him out of his body. A tremor ran through him, and his chest was already panting under the immense pressure of that force... She could say with certainty that the soul now controlling this physical body was completely unrelated to Gu Feng.

But... why do I have this feeling of déjà vu?

Unbelievable, this feeling stirred up ripples in her heart, which had been dormant for a hundred years and was as still as a mirror.

She almost blurted out, "Zhengyang! Is that you?"

She held back; her fading seventh soul could no longer allow her to communicate with such a vast soul using her spiritual power. Doing so would only result in her soul being crushed to pieces…

Even though the disparity in power meant she could no longer see what was happening outside through this body, Chu Yun'er smiled—a very happy smile. How long ago was it that she had once had the experience of communicating with his soul? It seemed like hundreds of years ago, yet it also felt like this was just the beginning…

Shixin had already prepared herself to close her eyes and await death. In her mind, she could already vaguely see the beautiful scene of her mother coming to pick her up. She reached out her hand; just one step away, she could escape this suffocating pain and enjoy endless family bliss...

Should we be happy or sad?

A single, glistening tear slid down her cheek…

Was it because he was overjoyed to see his mother after a long separation that he cried tears of joy?

Or is it a sense of helplessness and disappointment towards those who have high expectations of you?

She could feel her hand touching her mother; she was just one step away from escaping. Once her tears, which were about to fall, splashed into brilliant blooms, the final soft sound would probably be her swan song in this life!

In that final moment, she felt her hand being grasped and pulled forcefully. In an instant, her mother, who had just been greeting her with a smile, and the enchanting scene surrounded by clouds, shattered and vanished without a trace…

The final, tearful cry vanished under the merciless footsteps of "Gu Feng". The next moment, Ah Mao, who was about to go to heaven to eat his last supper, smacked his lips and looked at Gu Feng, who had no expression on his face, with a look of confusion. His face clearly showed his frustration, as if he wanted to roar and say, "Why didn't you wait for me to eat first before breaking my beautiful dream?"

It was only then that the two of them came to their senses and realized that they could breathe again.

"Gu Feng" released their hands, transforming into a swift shadow as it chased after the wretched thing that had retreated into the tunnel.

Having suffocated for so long, the two of them could only gasp for breath, forgetting everything else. When they finally went inside, they discovered something unbelievable…

A bearded man with straight, unbent joints, dressed in ancient general's armor, stretched out his two hands with pale green fingernails, confronting the ancient style.

Oh my god!!! This isn't... a zombie?!

Ah Mao's eyes widened, and he bit his finger, too scared to speak. It was terrifying! Although he had always believed in ghosts and had even encountered some incredible paranormal events, nothing like coming face-to-face with a zombie like this... Damn, he never even dared to dream of such a thing before. If only he had a camera to take a picture to remember it, he would definitely think he was bragging if he told Xiao Bing and the others about it later...

Shi Xin was a little confused. That feeling was back with Gu Feng, that cold and murderous atmosphere, that emotionless and indifferent expression... What's wrong with Gu Feng? Is he... still Gu Feng?

That general must have been incredibly powerful in life, and even now that he's dead and turned into a zombie, he still exudes that aura of dominance.

The two sides faced off for more than ten seconds before a thrilling battle between humans and ghosts began with a zombie's ghostly charge and thrust.

Gu Feng's reaction was incredibly fast; he spun around and kicked the zombie from behind within a fraction of a second of its attack.

Ah Mao was extremely worried about the zombie, whose body was on the verge of falling apart after being buried for who knows how many years. Few in the entire Sandao Society could withstand Gu Feng's powerful back kick. He had once witnessed him kick a wall; although the wall didn't look very sturdy, it would be impossible to knock it down without some real material. As the zombie was about to be hit by that kick, Ah Mao had already mentally pictured the horrific scene of it flying seven feet backward, smashing through the wall and shattering…

What happened next was truly astonishing. The zombie thrust its belly forward as if to deliver a kick to Gu Feng. Its feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and after the impact, it sent Gu Feng flying without even a sway.

Fortunately, Gu Feng didn't seem to be hurt. He quickly stood up and continued to attack. The zombie's attack method was very simple: besides stabbing with its straight arms, it relied on its indestructible body to withstand the attacks.

Volume 3, Chapter 56: The Battle Between Humans and Ghosts (Part 2)

Even such a simple move caused Gu Feng a lot of trouble. No matter how fierce the move was, it was like an egg hitting a rock, with no effect whatsoever. The only thing he got hurt was his own backlash.

Ah Mao's gaze towards Gu Feng suddenly filled with confusion.

Is this still my Feng Ge?

This kind of relentless pursuit doesn't seem to be his style. If it really is Brother Feng, shouldn't he stop and think of a solution first?

eccentric!

Watching Gu Feng relentlessly launch futile attacks, Ah Mao's brows were already furrowed. After being injured so many times, how come there was no expression on his face?

Suddenly, Ah Mao's eyebrows relaxed, and the ancient style stopped...

The zombie seemed to be momentarily stunned, its empty eyes staring at him with confusion.

The "ancient style" suddenly strikes again, stopping and starting again, which is a tactic to deceive the enemy.

Such speed! It seemed as if the rapid friction between the fingers and the air had created a yellow arc of light...

Shixin clearly remembered that Gu Feng's final, fierce move at that school that day also looked just like that.

Yang Yi Divine Finger!

If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Feng's hand will break on the zombie's rock-solid chest. Because the force generated by a mere finger might have some effect when it's stuck in soft flesh, but try sticking it into a steel plate and see what it feels like.

Everything was unexpected once again. The Yang Yi Divine Finger, which was infused with spiritual power, passed right through it as if it were a tattered piece of white paper.

The old general stared blankly at the "human" before him, momentarily stunned. If it had thoughts, it would surely wonder, how is this possible? My body, which bullets can't penetrate, was pierced by his finger? What happened?

After a brief two-second pause, the zombie suddenly let out a sharp, piercing shriek from its throat and thrust its hands out without mercy.

"Gu Feng" tried to stop, but the zombie forcefully clamped his hands inside its body. The strength, as firm as an iron clamp, rendered him completely immobile, and he could only watch helplessly as the ghastly green claws pierced through his shoulders...

Ah Mao shook his head incredulously. Before the two shocking wounds could bleed, they were covered by a golden light. When the light dissipated, they were completely healed.

The trapped right hand clenched into a fist, while the left hand formed a strange gesture. Under a subtle, mysterious light, the zombie was suddenly sent flying, and the right hand was successfully freed.

"Gu Feng" suddenly bit his middle finger, quickly wrote some strange things on his left hand, which looked like talismans used by Taoist priests, and with a shout, went to meet the zombie.

"Why does he look just like a Taoist priest from Maoshan on TV? When did Brother Feng become so powerful? Wow, with him protecting us, we won't be afraid of anything anymore?"

Ah Mao stared blankly at Gu Feng, who was going on a rampage, and thought in surprise.

The speed at which Gu Feng pursued him could only be described as lightning-fast. The hopping zombie seemed to realize the power of the talisman in his hand, and it bounced backward.

Seeing this bizarre situation where a zombie was actually frightened into fleeing, Shixin was speechless for a moment...

The zombie stumbled back a few steps before its back slammed heavily against the solid wall. Gu Feng's raised left hand was already aimed straight at its head. Everyone knew that if it ate this hotpot, it would be doomed. The zombie wasn't stupid; it, which should have been mindless, came up with a rather clumsy but effective method...

It's unclear how his supposedly immobile ankle joints could generate such abnormal jumping power, allowing Gu Feng to squeeze through his crotch in an instant, leaving him facing that dark tunnel...

"Gu Feng" turned around without blushing or panting, and the zombie had already turned into a blur and jumped in.

Without hesitation, he followed her inside, but Shixin's eyes were drawn to a beam of light that suddenly shone out.

In this dark underground, apart from the twinkling stars in the sky, there was truly no light. Suddenly, a green light, which should have been unremarkable, shone through a crack in the wall and became the focus of attention.

Shi Xin approached the wall and, judging by touch, it should be built of granite slabs. The source of the green light was behind the stone wall, which might never have been discovered again, but the heavy impact of the zombie had loosened the gaps and caused dirt to fall, making its existence known.

Shixin suddenly remembered the mural she had just seen, the one in the yellow robe that the old man had given the green bead to the tomb owner.

So what kind of bead is it?
