"Mr. Zhou!"
"Mr. Zhou, you've finally arrived!"
Respectful and fervent voices emanated from these sixth-tier powerhouses.
They stared intently at Fang Xiu.
Everyone followed their gaze and froze on the spot. What was going on? Why were they talking about Mr. Zhou but looking at Fang Xiu?
Fang Xiu narrowed his eyes, a strange darkness surging within them, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Interesting."
The next moment, something magical happened. Fang Xiu's body seemed to appear as a double image, as if two people were standing together and overlapping.
Slowly, a tall man in a Zhongshan suit emerged from Fang Xiu's body. His steps were steady, but he seemed to be able to shrink the distance between people, covering dozens of meters in a single step. His speed was astonishing.
So much so that no one could see his face clearly. This figure in a Zhongshan suit had already appeared a hundred meters away. He continued walking, and it seemed as if invisible steps appeared in the air, carrying him step by step toward the sky.
Finally, it stood still in the sky, towering before the enormous, dark spatial rift, its proud and upright figure facing the abyss, leaving everyone with only a mysterious and unpredictable back view, its back to all living beings.
"Brother Xiu... Brother Xiu, that Mr. Zhou just walked out of your body!?" Yang Ming looked at Fang Xiu in shock.
Luo Qingxin, standing to the side, shook her head: "It didn't come out of the body. It should just be that the place where Brother Xiu was standing happened to be the place where Mr. Zhou appeared, and the two figures overlapped."
Luo Qingxin's explanation was relatively realistic, and most people thought so too. After all, everything in front of them was like a holographic projection, unable to interact with reality. So how could Mr. Zhou possibly walk out of Fang Xiu's body? It must be that their positions just happened to overlap.
Only Fang Xiu himself knew that this was probably not a coincidence.
With Mr. Zhou's appearance, the eyes of the pawnshop owner and several other sixth-level experts instantly became fervent, sweeping away their previous dejection. It was as if as long as Mr. Zhou came, they would be full of hope, and even if they faced the most terrifying desperate situation, they could turn the tide.
"Mr. Zhou, what should we do now?" the pawnshop owner asked.
Yang Ming scratched his head, feeling that these words sounded familiar.
Mr. Zhou did not turn around, but stared at the shattering sky and said calmly, "White Stone Town has become the anchor point for the invasion of the mortal world from the other side. No one can change this. The only way now is to completely seal the space where White Stone Town is located."
The pawnshop owner looked troubled: "But, Mr. Zhou, sealing the space where White Stone Town is located is not difficult, but the problem is that the anchor point on the other side is here. What kind of seal in this world can block the anchor point?"
"It's alright, just leave the Heart of Forbidden Evil here."
Upon hearing this, the pawnshop owner and others were immediately shocked and became extremely anxious.
"Mr. Zhou, you mustn't!"
"There's no need to persuade me anymore; my mind is made up."
After saying this, under everyone's gaze, Mr. Zhou slowly extended his right hand and then plunged it into his own heart.
A moment later, he pulled out a bright red, beating heart connected to countless blood vessels.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The moment this heart appeared, a heartbeat like a drum echoed throughout the world, a sound that made people feel depressed and suffocated, and slowed the flow of blood throughout their bodies.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xiu frowned. He hadn't expected that the so-called Heart of Forbidden Demons was actually Zhou Qingfeng's heart.
What's going on?
Could Zhou Qingfeng be a forbidden ghost?
Or perhaps Zhou Qingfeng, like himself, also had strange organs transplanted into his body?
The next moment, Zhou Qingfeng gently tossed the heart in his hand, and the heart immediately hung high in the sky. The heartbeat sounded like thunder, and with its beating, the entire world seemed to tremble.
Countless dense blood vessels grew wildly from the heart, filling the sky in the blink of an eye.
The scene was utterly horrifying. The sky was filled with countless crimson, twisted blood vessels, like needles and thread, while the sky itself was made of cloth. The blood vessels were piercing into the sky, stitching it up.
As the blood vessels were repaired, the eerie phenomena surging from the spatial rifts began to decrease. But this was not the end; the blood vessels continued to extend into the endless void, covering the sky, the ground, and everything visible to the naked eye.
Everyone stared in horror at the ground, where countless blood vessels, like millions of pythons, spread wildly across the earth, as if a carpet of blood vessels had been laid out on the ground, and soon they reached the feet of everyone.
By this time, the entire area of Baishi Town, spanning hundreds of miles, was covered by blood vessels.
After the blood vessels spread, they began to slowly disappear into the void and the ground, vanishing as if in a hallucination.
"This is why the burial ground was formed?! Could this be the true appearance of the burial ground?!" someone exclaimed in horror.
Originally, the burial site should have looked like a dense network of blood vessels, wrapped up like a woven sack, but now all of these blood vessels have been hidden.
"Mr. Zhou, are you... are you alright?" The pawnshop owner asked worriedly, looking at Zhou Qingfeng who had lost his heart.
"It's alright." Zhou Qingfeng's voice rang out. Even with a bloody hole ripped out of his chest and his heart gone, his voice remained calm: "I'll leave this place to you now. I'm going to seal the other spatial nodes."
Several sixth-tier powerhouses immediately paled: "Absolutely not! Mr. Zhou, you've already given up a heart. To seal other spatial nodes, are you trying to dismantle your own body?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. He was somewhat puzzled. The information he had obtained from the Ghost Pawnshop clearly indicated that the dismembered forbidden ghosts were suppressing spatial nodes around the world. So why was it that here, Zhou Qingfeng was using his own body to suppress them? Could it be... that Zhou Qingfeng was a forbidden ghost?
That's absolutely impossible!
That leaves only one explanation: Zhou Qingfeng has most likely fused with forbidden monsters, just like he fused with nightmares.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingfeng had already studied the concept of the supernatural a hundred years ago. However, at that time, he was still a savior and was only using the power of the supernatural to learn from their techniques in order to subdue them. It was only in his later years that he planned to become a supernatural being completely.
Zhou Qingfeng's calm voice rang out again: "Now there is only one way. With my crippled body, I will suppress all the spatial nodes. In the past, the strange creatures could only enter the real world through spatial gaps, but once the spatial nodes are opened, it is like opening a window. The number and quality of the strange creatures entering will increase rapidly."
If I do not suppress the spatial nodes, the world will surely be destroyed.
Moreover, if I were dismembered and my limbs placed at various spatial nodes, I could use the special connections between them to form a seal that covers the world. Once this seal is formed, it can protect the present world from strange attacks for a hundred years.
The pawnshop owner's eyes were filled with worry, admiration, and reluctance.
