run?
I want to run too, but the problem is, how do I run?
I almost collapsed from exhaustion after killing that leggy woman.
The ghosts we're facing now are neither ordinary ghosts nor underworld officials.
It's the underworld!!
Four still!!!
However, sitting idly by and waiting to die is not an option, and I am not the type of person who would sit and wait to die.
Even if it means death, we'll give it our all, even if it's just to raise a speck of dust in the eye of the storm.
I bit my tongue, spitting blood onto the cleaver, and roared as I slashed at the underworld official who was controlling Liu Sandao's soul with iron chains.
I thought that even if I risked my life, I could at least manage to cut him once, right?
However, ideals are lofty, but reality is even more skeletal than a woman weighing forty pounds.
I had only taken half a step forward when the underworld official slowly raised his right index finger and pointed it at me.
My body suddenly floated uncontrollably in mid-air, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't move.
As Yin Si's fingers gently pressed down, it felt like a mountain was pressing down on my back, and I slammed heavily to the ground with a 'thud,' feeling like my bones were about to shatter.
Before I could even catch my breath, he once again played cat and mouse, his five fingers together, and slowly raised his right hand.
Instantly, I felt my breath catch in my throat, and an invisible hand suddenly appeared on my neck, gripping my neck tightly and lifting me into the air again.
Following the reversal of his palm, it spun continuously in mid-air.
With a "whoosh!" I couldn't hold it in and vomited.
At that moment, let alone holding a kitchen knife, even breathing felt like a luxury.
Especially when he flipped his right hand, my internal organs felt like they were turning over, and my intestines felt like they were about to come out of my mouth.
Is this the power of the underworld?
Just as the underworld official lifted me into the air again, preparing to perform another magnificent 360-degree spin, another underworld official next to him started talking nonsense.
Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I knew from the way Liu Sandao looked at me that they were tired of playing around and were going to take me to hell.
The next second, a similar iron chain bound my hands and feet.
When this chilling iron chain was wrapped around my body, I realized what that feeling was like.
cold!
This coldness doesn't come from the skin, but from the very bones, from the depths of the soul.
I felt like every pore, every drop of blood in my body was frozen, and my soul was trembling, as if it were about to be pulled out of my body.
"call!"
A gust of cold wind blew in, and the desks and chairs in the manager's office flew into the air.
The furniture, glass, and iron gates shook violently under the onslaught of the gale.
With a loud bang, the iron door of the office was smashed open by a strong gust of wind, and an even stronger surge of yin energy rushed out.
At the same time, the office floor suddenly cracked open, and a huge black vortex appeared.
Within the vortex, countless vengeful spirits roared madly.
One by one, withered, skeletal hands reached out from the vortex, as if trying to crawl out.
The four underworld officials gathered together and began to chatter amongst themselves.
As they spoke, a black vortex silently appeared beneath their feet.
As the vortex expanded, their bodies slowly sank downwards along with its rotation.
At the same time, Liu Sandao and I were also out of control, our feet involuntarily moving towards the huge vortex in the middle of the floor.
The moment my foot touched the edge of the vortex, a bone-chilling cold instantly spread from my ankle throughout my body.
I could clearly feel countless cold, sticky hands gripping my ankles tightly, pulling me down with all their might.
I instinctively tried to break free, but found my legs to be as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
"Young man, this time it's my fault that you've been harmed!" Liu Sandao's face was full of bitterness, and his voice was full of self-blame.
I forced a smile and tried to comfort him.
"Brother Liu, please don't say that. If it weren't for your help before, I would have died long ago. Life and death are predestined, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later. But, is this the eighteenth level of hell?"
Just as we were about to be completely pulled into the vortex, a deafening roar of a wild beast suddenly rang in our ears.
It sounds a bit like a tiger roaring in the mountains, or like the deep, muffled growl of a lion.
But upon closer listening, it doesn't quite sound like that; instead, it sounds like the roar of a Qilin from legend.
As the roar resounded, the furniture that had been floating in mid-air in the office crashed to the ground.
Half of each of the four underworld officials had already entered the vortex.
Upon hearing the roar, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly emerged from the vortex.
It was making gibberish noises.
Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, their panicked expressions and hurried movements showed that they were extremely surprised and terrified by the sudden shouts.
The chains binding me seemed to be affected by some powerful force, making a buzzing sound and trembling violently, as if they were about to break at any moment.
The four underworld officials who were talking suddenly turned to me and Liu Sandao.
At the same time, four iron chains shot out from our sleeves and wrapped tightly around our bodies again.
This time, the chains were tightened even more.
Liu Sandao's soul was squeezed out of shape and let out a shrill scream.
I felt like my head was about to explode, the pain was excruciating, my body felt lighter and lighter, my vision gradually blurred, and I could even see the top of my head.
My soul is being slowly extracted from my body.
