Their faces were deathly pale, but their eye sockets were deep black, making them look particularly eerie, as if they had just crawled out of the underworld.
Why did you kill us?
“Because you deserve to die,” Qing Chen said calmly. “Even if you could live your lives again, even if you could live them ten thousand times, you would still die. I thought you would have some tricks up your sleeve, I thought you would be as difficult to deal with as Wen Xin… You dare to compare yourselves to Wen Xin? Get out of my way!”
Qing Chen walked past them as if passing through nothingness, but he found that the ghost child could not pass through the human wall. So he turned around and used his already broken body to forcefully push aside all the ghostly figures: "Excuse me."
Cao Wei and the others actually gave in.
Qingchen carefully instructed the ghost child, "Stay close. There are many bad people outside. Don't get kidnapped. Human traffickers are rampant now. Every single one of them should be arrested and imprisoned."
Qing Chen, who is usually quiet and reserved, was at the other extreme at this moment... a chatterbox.
He looked up and said, "The moon is so round tonight."
It's really bright.
However, with the bright moon about to rise overhead, just as a sundial at noon casts almost no shadow, the shadows in this haunted house maze are about to disappear.
The shadow disappeared.
The road will also disappear.
Then he'll be left like a fool, running around the maze with his crippled body.
Without those shadow gates, the paintings of the six demigods would be enough to drive him to his death.
With only an hour left before his return, he encountered a dead end.
Chen Yu had anticipated all of this, so he remained completely unmoved, letting Qing Chen continue to torment the last 20 minutes with the shadow.
The two Demon-Subduing Vajras held defensive positions on the outside of the 'chessboard', steadily cooperating with the Flying Goddess to force Qing Chen into a corner.
It must be said that Chen Yu is an excellent chess player. Even without the period when the shadow disappeared, he would have killed Qing Chen in the maze sooner or later.
The positions of the Demon-Subduing Vajra on the chessboard left Qingchen with no room to move freely.
Qing Chen was like a pawn on a chessboard, cornered by two rooks, two knights, and two cannons.
Once they encounter each other, Chen Yu can use the vast difference between demigods and A-levels to crush Qing Chen, even if Qing Chen is a knight, even if he ate the dragon fish, drank the Jingshan tea, and stole Chen Yu's Purple Orchid Star.
It still didn't work!
Now, Qing Chen's left shoulder, right shoulder, left arm, and right arm are all comminuted fractures, leaving him with no chance of fighting back against Chen Yu.
The vast labyrinth, spanning hundreds of kilometers across the forbidden land, could not accommodate Qing Chen alone!
At this moment, Chen Yu looked at Chen Chuanzhi beside him and said, "How about it? The next generation of knights is about to perish here."
Chen Chuanzhi remained silent, but the deceased Li Bingxi suddenly appeared and said in a sinister tone, "The Chen family's reputation as demigods is well-deserved. But why couldn't you kill Qingzhun outside Forbidden Land No. 002? If you had killed Qingzhun back then, I wouldn't have died, and your painting wouldn't have been lost."
Chen Yu retorted loudly, "He has been a god for a quarter of an hour. How can a mortal kill a god?"
Li Bingxi sneered coldly, "You know he is a god, and you are just a mortal. Do you remember what he said? He is a mountain you can never cross in this lifetime. He wants you to feel fear when you think of him. Chen Yu, your path of cultivation was cut off at that moment. He left you to his younger brother. You are the best whetstone for his younger brother."
Chen Yu sneered: "His brother is about to die. I'll let you see with your own eyes how his brother dies."
"He will travel back in time to become a demigod, and then defeat you just like Li Shutong defeated your father back then."
Chen Yu's expression was ashen: "How could he possibly travel back in time? The haunted house maze is almost gone, how could he possibly travel back in time?"
Both the two people inside and outside the haunted house maze fell into a trap of mental pollution because they violated the amusement park's rules.
However, Qingchen started from the rafting area.
Chen Yu, relying on his demigod strength, managed to hold out for a long time.
Do amusement parks have rules? No.
To be precise, it's about the absence of rules that are almost absolute, like those in forbidden zones.
If it's the rule of the forbidden area, Chen Yu won't be in any trouble.
Those rules that would be 'erased' by ordinary people, Chen Yu could ride his green ox and leave the forbidden land at any time. Even the magical creatures in the forbidden land, such as the Vermilion Bird and the Green Mountain Falcon, might not be able to do anything to him.
But is there any punishment? Yes.
Once you violate its rules, you will gradually fall into the psychological trap set by Li Shentan.
Therefore, those who were punished in this amusement park were killed by Li Shentan, not by the rules.
However, the Demon Whisperer's extremely bizarre killing methods led everyone to believe that it was the rule.
After Chen Yu arrived at the amusement park, it wasn't easy for Li Shentan's hypnosis to work directly on him.
However, after the two demigods clashed remotely, Chen Yu was ultimately outmaneuvered and dragged into the mire and abyss by Li Shentan.
The world of extraordinary beings is like a building, and Chen Yu, this demigod, is someone standing on the rooftop of this building. The higher you go, the colder it gets, and you have no rivals left.
However, Li Shentan and Yan Liuyuan, these two demigods above demigods, were like two dark clouds hanging over the building.
Unable to act frequently, they all fell into an almost irreversible slumber after the amusement park was built.
But they have always been there.
At this moment, Chen Yu manipulated the six demigod paintings, frantically forcing Qing Chen to hide in a corner of the maze.
The moon slowly moved to the top of the sky, and the shadowy paths in the maze disappeared.
Just then, Qingchen suddenly heard someone behind him ask, "Brother, have you seen my mother?"
Qing Chen suddenly turned around and looked at the ghost child behind him. The ghost child had lost the paleness on his face at some point and looked like a normal child.
It is no longer the ghost child, but Qingchen himself when he was a child.
The ghost child calling for his home in the dark slide is the scar he can't erase.
Qing Chen laughed: "I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Turns out you're the person I am inside. No wonder my subconscious was taken over by Li Shentan once you were devoured by the gecko lizard."
The child didn't reply, but instead asked to himself, "Brother, have you seen my mom? She said she was going to buy me candied hawthorns, but she's gone."
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. It was the afternoon when he was first abandoned by Zhang Wanfang. He waited from noon until dusk, until someone asked him about it, until someone called the police.
I didn't see my mother return until night.
His mother said they were lost, but Qingchen already knew at that time that he had already been abandoned once.
Qing Chen smiled, squatted down, and stroked the child's head, saying, "Good boy, come with your brother. That mother doesn't matter. Your brother can give you everything, everything you want: the path of cultivation, power, and money."
The child shook off his hand and cried loudly, "I want my mom!"
Qing Chen squatted silently in place. Suddenly, he hugged the child and said, "Don't cry. You will meet a very, very good master in the future. One day, you will travel to a place called Prison No. 18, where your brother will be secretly watching you in the dark. Although you will experience some setbacks, your life will get better."
"Really?" the child asked. "Brother, have you put it down?"
Qing Chen smiled and said, "I've let it go... I've gone through this internal struggle. I'm actually a little more at ease now. I can get through this internal struggle, but I'm afraid I can't get over the hurdle in Chen Yu's heart."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked behind him. Kyung Joon was leaning against the maze wall with a smile: "Long time no see."
Qingchen said earnestly, "Brother, thank you. You are an insurmountable mountain for Chen Yu in his life. He will surely die in this battle. I can overcome this inner struggle, but he cannot."
At this moment, Qingchen finally understood how his master, Li Shutong, had managed to break free, because the knights had already overcome their inner demons from the day they embarked on the path of cultivation.
Li Shutong was able to break out, and Chen Yu might have been able to break out before the clash of metal, but now he definitely can't.
Qingzhun asked with a smile, "You came here because you were worried that you weren't entirely confident, right? You know that Li Shentan, Yan Liuyuan, and Ren Xiaosu's power is here, so you wanted to use their strength against them to deal with Chen Yu. Even if you can't break through to demigod level, you might still have a chance to keep Chen Yu here."
“Hmm,” Qingchen nodded, “but there were too many unexpected things. I didn’t expect to fall into mental pollution as soon as I walked in. Of course, I’m not in a really desperate situation yet, I still have a chance.”
Qingzhun said with a smile, "As expected of my brother, but your mind is about to collapse. Although you have passed the test of your heart, every ghost you create weakens your own mental will... Look behind you, there are already more than six hundred ghosts following you... When they split into a thousand, your consciousness may be extinguished in this infinite division."
This is Li Shentan's method of killing:
When you kill a ghost you see, you are actually erasing a part of your own spirit and will.
Even if you don't kill them and leave them alone, they will continue to split, dividing your mind and will into a thousand parts, until you lose your control and become a collection of a thousand personalities.
Qing Chen laughed and said, "I will be able to return to the surface world soon. There, I can use a shroud and a syringe."
“Good idea,” Kyung-jun nodded, “but how are you going to get back? Look, they’re here. Your way is gone.”
Qing Chen looked up at the goddesses flying down from the sky. They were all holding red ribbons and rushing towards him without hesitation.
On Qingchen's left and right sides, two Vajra Subduers had already launched their attacks.
He stood in the center of the battlefield, as all the gods and Buddhas came to kill him!
kill!
However, at that moment, Qing Chen smiled slightly: "It's not only the moon and the sun that can cast shadows."
At the critical moment, the Vajra Pestle came rushing in like thunder, and the red ribbon swept out like a long whip.
Amidst numerous crises... a golden bolt of lightning struck outside the battlefield.
Thunder Strike, a D-level skill of the Thunder Mage in the Superconducting World.
Actually, this thing doesn't do any harm to demigods at all, but whether it does harm or not is not important; what's important is that it emits light.
Where there is light, there is shadow.
In an instant, the light of a thunderous strike burst forth behind the maze wall opposite Qing Chen, and the shadow of the maze wall instantly engulfed Qing Chen!
Qing Chen, arms hanging limply, looked at the goddess before him with a smile: "Chen Yu, I will surely kill you."
Boom!
The vajra and the red ribbon fell, colliding with each other with a deafening sound, but the center of all this attack... Qing Chen, was nowhere to be seen!
The light of the Thunder Strike came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the shadow passage opened and closed again, and Qing Chen's figure was four hundred meters away!
Lightning burst forth continuously. This D-level skill consumes very little lightning paste. Qing Chen had deliberately left a Divine Slash unused, just to wait for this moment!
Several bolts of lightning struck in succession, and in just three breaths, Qing Chen had already reached several kilometers away from the battlefield!
This time, no matter how hard the six demigods tried to catch up, they could no longer touch a single hair on Qing Chen's head.
Qing Chen's body contains enough lightning essence to withstand at least dozens of lightning strikes, which is why he believes he can hold out until the moment of his return!
A frenzied attack began, but no matter how hard the demigod painting tried, it was to no avail.
Outside the haunted house maze, Chen Yu was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy when he tore off his sleeve, revealing his arms.
Those arms were adorned with two tattoos of the water god Gonggong!
Chen Yu used his fingernails as knives to cut his own skin, only to see two water gods soar into the sky and fly towards the haunted house maze!
The paintings of the Chen family painters were easily destroyed, stolen, or even betrayed by their own people. So a hundred years ago, a painter with extraordinary talent appeared in the Chen family. He tattooed the paintings on his body and nourished them with his own blood every day!
