Chapter 1286 The Returnee's Notes (360)
The spirits he had used before were not very effective, but when he tried to imitate Master Yue's method, he was surprised to find that it worked!
The thunder outside grew louder and louder, while the doors and windows inside the house were tightly shut. There was no wind or rain, but the candlelight flickered incessantly, and the ceiling light, which had been turned off, crackled and flickered.
Chen Qi thought it was a problem with the magnetic field. Just as he was about to light the fourth lamp, a cat suddenly jumped onto the window directly opposite. Its eyes shone brightly in the darkness, which caught Chen Qi's attention.
Before he could react, a small clicking sound came from the door, but it was well covered by the thunder.
In that instant, the dampness from outside rushed in, and Chen Qigang turned around and was kicked. Before he could even see who it was, he felt a cold sensation gripping his neck.
"you......!"
In the instant the lightning flashed, he finally saw Xie Ning's face clearly, as well as the mask that he had just resisted and knocked off.
"It's Mu Yan, and also... Xie Ning..."
From the moment Xie Ning realized someone had broken in to his death, only a moment had passed; Xie Ning gave Chen Qi no chance to retaliate whatsoever.
Too much talk leads to mistakes, and too much action leads to excess.
Chen Qi stared intently, his eyes filled with resentment. Everything was clearly moving in a positive direction... Why did Xie Ning come looking for him? Why did Xie Ning want to kill him? Why didn't he even give him a chance to say a word?
If he had known this would happen, he should have killed Mu Yan back then, and perhaps none of this would have happened later.
Meow~
A sliver of firelight was reflected in the black egg's eyes, and then something like a bolt of lightning suddenly shot in from the window behind it. The two combined, and Chen Qi's soul felt a burning pain.
The screams echoed in the room. Chen Qi vaguely wondered if the souls he had refined were also in such pain.
Xie Ning's tense body slowly relaxed, but in that instant, Chen Qi's soul was suddenly sucked away, and then an extremely strong force directly knocked her back and slammed her against the wall.
"uh-huh."
Xie Ning clutched his aching shoulder, and seeing that the black egg had also been blown away, he still reached out and caught it.
Looking up, she met a pair of pitch-black eyes, completely black with no white in them. Her face was full of wrinkles, and her white hair hung down to the ground. She sat in the coffin, staring at Xie Ning without blinking.
Chen Qi's voice had completely disappeared.
He had already been devoured by the bride, but what Xie Ning didn't know was that the bride's last step in regaining consciousness was to have Chen Qi.
Xie Ning only knew that Chen Qi had taken a lot of souls to refine, but she had no idea that there was such a... living corpse hidden in this house.
"Click-click—" The bride opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but she couldn't even utter simple words, only making some meaningless clicking sounds, like the sound of sandpaper being rubbed.
The remaining three lamps were reflected in her dark eyes. Xie Ning tried to reach out and grasp the sword, but she felt the gravity around her increase many times over, making it impossible for her to move.
Black Egg lay on the ground, and a trace of blood oozed from its mouth due to the pressure.
The wind and rain hadn't stopped, making the surroundings eerily quiet.
The thing slowly moved in front of Xie Ning, curiously examining her.
Xie Ning could smell a strong, putrid stench emanating from it, a stench that was frightening. She wasn't afraid, but she felt uncomfortable.
Because that's the smell of rotting corpses, and an even stronger version at that.
The withered fingers touched Xie Ning's cheek. The long, black nails seemed too sharp; with just a light touch, they cut Xie Ning's face.
A trickle of blood flowed from the wound and then stained the bride's hands.
Xie Ningping took a deep breath. She could actually see confusion on the face of this living corpse. What was it wondering about?
