Chapter 102: Only a burnt leather bag remained.
A black cat lay at Lu Shijing's feet, its emerald green eyes curiously staring at the Gu Kings.
As if sensing something, the Blazing Fire Gu Kings suddenly began to retreat in fear, no longer daring to approach Lu Shijing and Yun Shu.
The retreat of the Blazing Fire Gu King only fueled the black cat's hunting instincts, causing it to pounce on the insects.
At first, the black cat would pounce on a Gu King and put it in its mouth to eat, but there were too many Gu Kings and it couldn't hunt them all, so it would jump over and kill them with a single paw.
Before long, a pile of dead Gu worms appeared on the ground, and the black cat lazily lay down and slowly ate them.
"My Gu King!"
A piercing scream rang out.
Mr. Gu's eyes were filled with rage. His only hobby was studying these things, and these Gu Kings were his lifeblood, yet they were killed by a cat.
"You damned cat, give me back my Gu King!"
Mr. Gu grabbed a chair from the room and threw it at the black cat.
"What kind of skill is it to bully a kitten?"
Before Mr. Gu could even see clearly, Yun Shu was already in front of him, grabbing the chair in his hand.
Yun Shu pushed her hand forward suddenly, and spiritual power surged from her hand, turning the chair in Mr. Gu's hand into dust.
"Meow!"
As the powder dissipated, a pair of cold and disdainful emerald green eyes appeared before Mr. Gu's eyes.
The black cat suddenly jumped up and scratched at him with its sharp claws, tearing the black veil on his body and causing many more Gu worms to fall down.
"Ah! You...you're asking for it!"
Mr. Gu clutched his wound and retreated repeatedly, then took out a specially made bone flute and blew it.
The Gu worms that had fallen to the ground had sprouted wings and swarmed towards the black cat.
Yun Shu and Lu Shijing were worried about the black cat when they saw that after the Gu worms surrounded it, its body turned transparent and floated in mid-air like a soul.
"Awoo!"
The black cat crouched on the ground, opened its mouth wide, roared fiercely, and then began to inhale the Gu worms surrounding it in a whirlwind.
"Hiccup!"
The black cat let out a burp, and the Gu worms disappeared. Yun Shu could clearly see that the black cat's belly had become round and bulging, and its body had changed from a transparent state to a solid state.
Mr. Gu stared in horror at the scene. "You...you ate my Gu worm and you're unharmed! You're definitely not a cat, what kind of monster are you?!"
The black cat ignored him completely, licking its paws while giving him a disdainful look.
"Without these bugs, let's see what you can do! Prepare to die!"
The black cat ate all of Yun Shu's Gu worms, and she kicked Mr. Gu.
"puff……!"
Mr. Gu fell to the ground, flying three meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his internal injuries becoming even more severe.
He never expected that they would bring a monster that actually ate all the Gu worms he had refined over the years!
Mr. Gu's eyes were filled with resentment.
However, apart from using Gu worms, he himself did not know any martial arts and was no match for Yun Shu and Lu Shijing at all.
"You just wait!"
Mr. Gu struggled to his feet and quickly flung a handful of highly poisonous red powder toward Yun Shu and Lu Shijing.
Yun Shu was about to walk towards him, but she quickly took several steps back and went to the window to open it.
Immediately afterwards.
She flicked a wind-summoning talisman, and a gust of wind rose in the room, scattering the highly poisonous red powder.
Mr. Gu took the opportunity to run to the outside corridor.
But Yun Shu quickly caught up with him.
Just as Yun Shu was about to catch up with him, Mr. Gu noticed that the room next door was open, and that weakling Sheng Shimin was peeking at the situation outside from behind the door.
Mr. Gu's eyes hardened, and he turned and ran towards the room where Sheng Shimin was.
"Don't come any closer!"
Sheng Shimin was startled and was about to close the door, but Mr. Gu pushed hard from the outside and used one leg to block the door from closing it.
"Open the door if you don't want to die!"
Mr. Gu glared fiercely at Sheng Shimin, then said to Yun Shu, who had caught up with him, "I've cast a spell on your friend. If you don't want him to die, don't come any closer!"
Yun Shu paused, her eyes turning icy. "Even now, you still want to harm people? Believe me, I'll make sure your soul is scattered to the winds!"
"Oh."
Mr. Gu sneered, mustered all his strength to push open the door to the room, and hid inside.
He originally intended to take Sheng Shimin hostage, but when he entered the room, he found that she was gone.
Where are they?
Mr. Gu locked the door from the inside, looked at the empty room, and frowned in confusion.
"Forget it, I'll just jump out the window and escape!"
Mr. Gu found the window and was about to run towards it when he lost his footing and tumbled down the stairs.
"ah!"
Mr. Gu's screams continued as he looked in horror at the stair railing beside him. "How did a perfectly good room turn into a staircase!"
At this time.
A cold whisper reached his ear, "Those who harmed my son deserve to die."
Mr. Gu appeared on the stairs at some point and rolled directly from the second floor to the first floor.
He was already seriously injured, and then he fell down the stairs like this, so painful that he collapsed on the ground and didn't even have the strength to stand up.
With a bang.
The sound of Yun Shu kicking down the door came from upstairs.
Mr. Gu looked up and glanced at it.
He still couldn't understand why he had suddenly appeared on the stairs from a closed room.
But Yun Shu and her companions were still upstairs, which was the perfect opportunity for him to escape.
A strong will to survive made Mr. Gu try to get up, but because he was too badly injured, he trembled all over and beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
He managed to get up, but the next second, he felt something binding his ankles, and he fell back to the ground.
"What is that?!"
He turned his head to look.
From the first step of the stairs, long, jet-black hair emerged and wrapped around his ankle.
"This is……"
He gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine and goosebumps rise all over his body.
"A ghost! Help...!"
His cries for help came to an abrupt end.
The long hair around his ankles quickly spread over his body, tightly wrapping around his neck and strangling him to death.
After Mr. Gu died, his soul floated out of his body and saw a complete human skin floating out from the stairwell. The skin was full of wrinkles and burns.
The human skin had a pair of blood-red eyes that stared straight at him.
This is what it looks like after the Blazing Fire Gu worm takes effect. The Gu worm inside the body will continuously generate flames, burning the person's internal organs and burning them to death from the inside out.
After a person dies, all that remains is a burnt skin; the flesh and bones inside have been burned away.
"It's you!"
Mr. Gu instantly recognized her identity: Sheng Weiping's deceased first wife!
