Chapter 537 Feeding Ghosts and Gods
The other side of the rift.
After Astrid hid in, the lack of equipment and the loss of the sensing hook on her armor made it difficult for her to find her way back on her own, and she had to rely on the signals from the opposite side.
At this moment, she closed her eyes and took deep breaths, trying her best to sense the cracks that appeared from time to time around her, saying in her heart, "Hurry up, hurry up..."
This is one side of the rift, and it is part of the rift itself. There may be another world deep behind it. Every moment of staying here may bring some danger.
At this moment, she actually felt that her body was being attacked by some unknown force.
It would have been fine if she had the armor to protect her, but she had to give up the armor in order to escape just now, which resulted in her being exposed in this area without any protection.
She believed Sigrid would find a way to get her back. Not to mention that the company's implants in her body could not be lost, even the data from this battle would not be given up by the company.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt as if something was waking up in the distance behind her, which made her feel a sense of fear deep in her heart.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Just when she was extremely anxious, she suddenly felt a familiar signal wave coming from an open crack in front of her. She jumped there without any hesitation.
But before leaving, she looked back, as if trying to identify what it was, but unfortunately she could not see anything except a vast expanse of white light.
And just a few kilometers away from where she had just been, Gong Ying Changxiu's headless body was lying there, with his head not far away.
The tentacle that dragged him in was now wrapped around him. It seemed like some kind of octopus-like plant, and its tentacles were drilling into his body and head, as if sucking something.
But after a while, this thing began to shake violently, and it could be seen that its own liquid was actually flowing back into Gong Ying Changxiu's body. It wanted to break free but was powerless.
In just a few minutes, the thing turned pale and dry, and finally lay there motionless.
A moment later, from both sides of Gong Ying Changxiu's broken neck, tentacles and flesh buds extended outwards, slowly exploring the outside.
They seemed to be pulling each other and finally touched each other, and then his head was dragged back to his body little by little.
After the two broken necks were completely put together, they were twisted and adjusted by the tentacles and then completely pieced together.
After about a few minutes, Gong Ying Changxiu suddenly opened his eyes. His originally empty eyes slowly regained their spirit, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He brushed away the dry tentacles on his body and stood up.
He moved his neck, and the last bit of blood there quickly disappeared.
At this moment, his aura was much stronger than before. His eyes became extremely deep, and there was a faint black smoke coming out of his body. His loose hair grew to his back, covering most of his face in front.
The secret of Fenglin Pavilion, the art of feeding ghosts and gods!
The spiritual power accumulated by Fenglin Pavilion is not used to attack people, but is stored to nourish the Fenglin ghost. In particular, the core disciples of Fenglin Pavilion who have visited the Ghost Gate will cultivate a second consciousness within their bodies.
When one of the consciousnesses disappears due to a serious injury, the other consciousness will take over the body and do everything possible to repair it and bring the body back to life.
After this transformation, one will achieve a "ghost body" and become even stronger than before. Especially in terms of spiritual power, there will be a great improvement, but this comes at the cost of a "death calamity".
After the ghost body, one must pass the heavenly body. Only after passing the heavenly, human and ghost bodies and completing the divine body can one truly embark on the path of the Sword Sect.
To complete this process, one needs a strong opponent and the body of the person being killed must not be excessively damaged, so the conditions are actually very harsh.
After Gong Ying Changxiu returned from the Ghost Gate of Fenglin Pavilion, he had not yet encountered an opponent who could kill him overseas, so this time he came directly to the central city of Jibei Road, looking for an opportunity when the Heavenly Gate was opened, and the first person he found was Chen Chuan.
He brought four fellow apprentices with him this time to ensure, to a certain extent, that the bodies left behind were largely intact.
Judging from the current situation, he should have fallen on the other side of the rift. His four junior brothers were unable to complete his instructions.
He glanced at the withered tentacles on the ground and smiled, but the outcome was good.
At this moment, his cheeks became extremely thin, and his smile was like that of a devil.
When a human dies, the ghost takes over. This is not without cost. The human and ghost become one, and use up all their essence and blood to perfect themselves, but it also gains greater strength.
He felt the flickering crack in front of him, and with the help of a higher level of spiritual power, he sensed the correct path after a moment. He took a step forward, and in a flash, he had walked out of the crack and was standing on a street.
But this was not the original place. He leaped to a high place, identified the building, and compared it with the map of the underworld. Then he found the direction and rushed towards it.
Soon he arrived at the place where the fight had taken place, but it was empty. There were only a few pools of blood on the ground and a broken knife stuck in the ground.
He did not feel his own Ryuruchi here, so he left decisively and returned to the vehicle he had taken to get here.
He walked up and grabbed the car handle, pulled off the entire door and threw it aside, then took out a cross spear from it, turned it in his hand, and then slammed it to the ground.
This cross spear, named "Ghost Dance", is the most suitable weapon to use after achieving the ghost body.
After attaining the ghost body, one must seek to attain the heavenly body.
He fumbled around in the car again, took out a suitcase, opened it, and a round-headed flying insect came out.
The tentacles in front of this thing shook, as if it sensed something, and it flapped its wings and slowly ran into the distant sky against the strong wind. He took a look and followed it.
Inside the command center, Commissioner Liang and others watched Chen Chuan walk up to Chang Kuanghai with serious expressions. It could be said that they were all paying close attention to this battle.
To be honest, they did not force Chen Chuan to deal with Chang Kuanghai. As long as they could hold him back, they could wait for other personnel to arrive and go in to retrieve the split body.
It is really difficult to judge accurately who is stronger between Gong Ying Changxiu and Chang Kuanghai, because the battle between fighters depends not only on their own foundation and combat qualities, but also on their respective style characteristics and even decision-making before the battle.
Chen Chuan could defeat Gong Ying Changxiu, but he wasn't sure if he could defeat Chang Kuanghai. This was because Chang Kuanghai practiced the "Tian Shu Quan," a powerful horizontal training technique designed for charging into battle and killing generals. While Chang Kuanghai wasn't necessarily stronger than Gong Ying Changxiu in terms of physical strength, he was definitely the toughest to beat.
Commissioner Liang thought for a moment and said, "Have someone remind Captain Chen and tell him the background and characteristics of the opponent before him."
"yes."
Although the members of the response team who arrived just now were all killed, there were still field creatures left in the nearby vehicles, which were enough to transmit communication information.
A prompt quickly appeared on Chen Chuan's screen. He glanced at it and understood what was going on. He looked up and said to the tall figure, "Are you saying you want to wait for me here?"
Chang Kuanghai said in a deep voice: "You should remember Wei Wusheng, he and I are from the same school."
Chen Chuan nodded. He had this guess after seeing the information showing that the other party was from the Tianshu Gang. However, the other party's so-called waiting for him should not only be for revenge, but he may also have the same purpose as him.
Chang Kuanghai then said, "You should have felt it. When the Heavenly Gate opens, fighters like us need the right opponents to reach the peak, but opponents are hard to find."
He paused for a moment, "My teacher saw you fight with Junior Brother Wei and predicted at the time that within two years, you would be able to fight me."
He looked at Chen Chuan and said in a deep voice, "He's right. If possible, I would like to give you a little more time, but the time has come and I can't wait any longer."
Chen Chuan looked at him, and at the huge crack behind him. He took the Xuejun Knife and drew it out of its sheath again. He said sincerely, "Mr. Chang, this is unfortunate. I have something to attend to today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for too long."
At this moment, behind them, a team of mercenaries from the company arrived nearby and found a high place to crouch down.
Not far away was the largest and most stable rift in the central city. There must be a splintered entity here. That was their target.
At this moment, they stretched out their guns and pointed them at two people in the distance. Although these two were third-level fighters, they could still hit them with long-range firearms.
But now is not the time to take action, because the two people in front undoubtedly still retain their combat effectiveness. Besides, there are mercenary teams from other companies nearby, which can be said to be competitors, so we must choose the time to take action carefully.
Chang Kuanghai reached out, grabbed the axe stuck in the side, and pulled it up. The axe was about the same height as him, more than three meters long, and looked very heavy, but in his hand, it felt as light as straw, and he walked down from the height.
Chen Chuan picked up the Xuejun Knife and went forward to meet him.
After Chang Kuanghai walked down, he waited for the two sides to get a little closer. He then held the long axe in one hand and swung it at him. Suddenly, a strong sound of breaking through the air was heard, the air seemed to explode, snowflakes flew, and everything in front of him seemed to be split open.
Chen Chuan lowered his center of gravity, spread his feet forward and backward, and held the Xuejun Knife with both hands and moved it upwards!
The two weapons collided with each other, and with a bang, a stream of air shot out from around the two people, completely blowing away the snow on the ground.
Chang Kuanghai was a little surprised to see him blocking the attack without taking a single step back. Since he had mastered the horizontal training, he had never seen anyone other than his master Yu Hongming who could face his axe head-on.
A smile appeared on his rectangular face. This kind of powerful strength and fighting style was exactly the opponent he was expecting.
"good!"
He roared with all his might, swung the axe again, and it swung back, whistling and chopped down again!
