The two retreated step by step, trying to avoid both the bloody hand and Ming Pei, facing numerous obstacles.
Fu Guan was still able to cope, but Qian Chang's body was soon torn to pieces by the bloody hand.
A black heavy sword swung from behind, severing the arms on the wall. Taking advantage of a moment when they were catching their breath, Fu Guan and Qian Chang slid across the wall to the vicinity of the main tomb chamber. As they left, they each grabbed one of the other two, pulling Jiang Xiaowan and Yao Shu back to hide.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Shu was positioned alone at the forefront, blocking the spearhead with her sword, and heard a faint clicking sound from Ye Zhan's black heavy sword.
"You two are really something..."
These words were practically squeezed out between clenched teeth. A force as heavy as a thousand pounds pressed down, and the reforged greatsword shattered in less than three seconds.
The rapidly approaching spearhead had no cushioning. Jiang Xiaowan took a step forward, and blue ripples spread out from her feet. A blue ring expanded, and other players within a five-meter radius were stared at by the skill.
In an instant, everyone's movements became slow and sluggish, as if playing a video in slow motion.
In a mere second, the visual structure was altered enough for Shi Jinzhe to react. A burst of golden light appeared, and the penetrating wound in Lin Shu's chest healed instantly.
However, the spearhead did not change its direction of attack, and it struck again after it had healed. In the tense moment, Qian Chang suddenly shouted a reminder, "Change the plot!"
However, Lin Shu couldn't think of any lines that fit the character's personality in half a second. Just as she was about to be stabbed for the second time, Yao Shu shouted, "If you die, A Zong will be mine!"
Hearing this, Lin Shu felt a surge of anger rising within her, and she instantly rolled to the side to avoid a fatal blow.
Mingpei's gun followed closely behind, pressing down hard. Her back slammed against the wall behind her, creating a spiderweb-like crack. Pressing her chest, Lin Shu braced herself on the ground and was lifted up by a Queen card, avoiding the bloody arm behind her.
The triple array of protection, healing, and purification was activated silently. Yao Shu's shout attracted Ming Pei's attention, and she turned around and attacked. The heavy resentment made her heart ache and she couldn't breathe. Fortunately, the array resolved the crisis in time.
The spear was sheathed, and Mingpei remained in darkness. Shehe said to Huang Yingzong, "Activate your skill."
The tomb corridor was in terrible condition. There was a distance between the nine people and Ming Pei. He didn't come over on his own. If the fighting continued like this, the place would collapse.
At this point, area-of-effect skill cards must be activated to bring Mingpei from the darkness into another area.
The black and white checkerboard pattern reappeared, and the headless man, whose true appearance had not been clearly seen by everyone that night, finally revealed himself.
A thick cloud of black mist hung over his severed neck, and a black flame the size of a small mountain rose from his back. Within each burst of flame, a pair of hands struggled to escape, and occasionally, heads, their features obscured by mist, would try to push their way out.
The spearhead gleamed with silver light, its brightness clashing with the decapitated Ming Pei. Every wisp of his aura was filled with hatred and resentment, and he stood there as if he were the human embodiment of the word "brutality."
A chilling wind swept across the chessboard, and the unfamiliar surroundings prevented him from launching an immediate attack. Without a head, no one could observe Ming Pei's expression; Shi Jinzhe could only discern from his grip on the gun that Ming Pei was in a state of extreme alertness.
There were no offerings, and so many people were killed during the war…
No, it wasn't just during wartime; he could gouge out the eyes and pull out the tongues of anyone who died in the Yu family, and he could even kill people after he himself died.
Shi Jinzhe stared intently at the faces that kept emerging from his back. There were so many enemy soldiers' skeletons in the tomb. Who killed them?
Is that Mingpei? Has he always been here? But if he has always been here, why did he appear in the small building that night?
And those bloodied arms in the corridor...
If Mingpei could gouge out eyes and pull out tongues, then it's not impossible for him to skin invading enemies.
[He appeared suddenly after Qian Chang was choked by the Blood Hand.]
After giving this hint, Shekh walked towards Mingpei, who was enveloped in resentment.
The two were about to clash. Mingpei wielded his spear with wide, sweeping strokes, and with each swing, the player at the very edge of the chessboard would be met with a wave of resentment.
Shi Jin bent his fingers and put them in front of his mouth. He didn't understand guns, but he heard Lin Shu explain that Pei's fighting style was extremely crazy, a kind of madness that had completely lost its rationality and was only focused on the desire to kill.
Time has stood still in Banshan Town for a hundred years, which is why some townspeople still live in the past, but Banshan Bao Temple is not within the scope of this time freeze.
For a century, no one worshipped Mingpei; his pagoda halfway up the mountain was occupied by unknown ghosts and spirits…
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him: Mingpei wanted to kill Yao Shu that day because she had worshipped something unclean, and that thing was the eyeless woman who had appeared with Mingpei at the beginning.
At that time, the blind woman returned from Banshanbao Temple with the group. She wanted to kill Yao Shu because the two wishes Yao Shu made had indeed come true in a certain sense.
Especially the latter one, the wish that Huang Yingzong would like her, Huang Yingzong did indeed fawn over Yao Shu under the control of the blind woman.
If the vow comes true, then you must fulfill your promise.
So even though the red envelope had been returned, the blind woman still wanted to take Yao Shu's life. She wanted to kill Yao Shu first and then transfer the body to Lin Shu with Huang Yingzong's help.
When the blind woman died, Ming Pei did not appear, but he appeared when they were about to enter Yu Qiongzhi's main tomb chamber, which shows that Ming Pei did not care about the blind woman's life or death.
The only person Shi Jinzhe could think of who would treat him like this was Yu Qiongzhi's stepmother.
So when Mingpei went to the small building that day, he was in a daze and mistakenly thought that Yao Shu, who made a wish to Yu Qiongzhi's stepmother, was in cahoots with her. He believed that one is influenced by one's surroundings and wanted to eliminate her completely.
As for his sudden departure, Shi Jinzhe's gaze remained fixed on the gun in Ming Pei's hand.
Schech fired the prototype of this gun, and he probably didn't want people to recognize him in his current appearance.
