Chapter 041
He took the opportunity to get out from under the statue's elbow...
At this critical moment, Cheng Hui's body suddenly bent into a strange arc and narrowly avoided the attack.
He took the opportunity to crawl out from under the stone statue's elbow and hid on the other side of the stone chamber.
"Hiss—damn, I'd better try to use this move less often in the future." Cheng Hui covered his old waist. Lending his body to Aqiu to avoid the attack was indeed a good idea, but Aqiu's body was too flexible. This was too much of a test for his waist... It felt like it was going to break.
"Sorry." Aqiu's apology was insincere, and Cheng Hui even heard a hint of laughter in it.
He didn't know if it was the influence of the zombie body, but he found that although his defense had increased, his body flexibility had decreased.
Normally it doesn't have much impact, but once Aqiu does this kind of extreme operation, it's a bit unbearable.
"You should practice more. Body flexibility is very important." Aqiu reminded.
Cheng Hui agreed with this. It wasn't that defense was bad, but wouldn't it be better if one could be flexible enough to catch the opponent off guard and hit him?
Xie Wan's stone statue was affected by the material it was made of, and she had used all her strength in that attack just now, so she couldn't catch up for a while.
Cheng Hui was about to poke the painting into pieces, but Xie Wan was still able to hold on.
Seeing that the stone statue of Xie Wan was on its last breath but refused to break, and even turned around to chase him again, Cheng Hui became anxious and tore the portrait in half with his hands.
Xie Wan screamed, and the stone statue exploded, filling the entire stone chamber with smoke.
"Be careful!" Aqiu exclaimed.
Cheng Hui saw a black shadow rushing out from the smoke, which was Xie Wan's ghost body.
At this moment, her whole body was broken, but she still barely maintained her human form. Dark liquid continued to flow out from the wounds on her body. She had a ferocious expression, and it was obvious that she was determined to kill Cheng Hui with all her might.
The previous pursuit had consumed a great deal of Cheng Hui's energy, and he was now completely exhausted.
"I want you to die!!!" Xie Wan screamed and rushed towards Cheng Hui.
Just when Aqiu was anxiously trying to take over Cheng Hui's body again, he saw Cheng Hui, who seemed panicked, suddenly smile.
Aqiu:!!!
Cheng Hui opened his mouth and spit out a small flame towards Xie Wan's ghost body.
The flame was only the size of a fingernail, trembling as if it would go out at any moment, but Xie Wan, who was facing the flame, showed an expression of uncontrollable fear.
"No--!"
The small flame exploded the moment it touched Xie Wan, enveloping her completely.
The blazing flames turned Xie Wan into a torch. Xie Wan struggled in pain and rolled around, but the flames on her body neither spread nor went out.
Cheng Hui quietly watched Xie Wan slowly burn. The huge human-shaped torch was also shrinking, and finally turned into a black bead and fell to the ground.
Cheng Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally safe.
He had many wounds on his body, and he didn't feel anything before, but once he relaxed, he suddenly felt pain all over his body.
He walked over slowly, picked up the bead, looked at it carefully, but didn't see anything special. But for some reason, the more he looked at the bead, the hungrier he became. Finally, he couldn't help but swallowed the bead.
Aqiu:!!!
Aqiu was shocked. No... you knew what it was and you ate it?
"Spit it out!"
"Why spit it out?" Cheng Hui said nonchalantly, smacking his lips. It tasted pretty good, chicken-like and crispy.
"You knew what that thing was, so you ate it?" Lin Qingqiu asked anxiously.
"I don't know, but I instinctively feel that thing is good for me." Cheng Hui said righteously.
Lin Qingqiu was so angry that he almost laughed. Intuition? He admitted that some cultivators' intuition was indeed very sensitive, but you have to know that there are countless ways in this world that can deceive even the secrets of heaven, let alone your intuition?
However, at this time, Cheng Hui was just an inconspicuous little monk. It seemed that no one would deliberately target him, but that might not be the case in the future, so he had to make Cheng Hui remember this lesson.
"Um……"
Before Aqiu could finish his scolding, he suddenly felt a wave of heat sweeping over his body. The warm feeling was as if his entire soul was soaked in warm water. It was so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan.
Cheng Hui: …???
The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward for a while, but fortunately, Lin Qingqiu had nothing special but a thick skin. As long as I wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
As for the sound being heard...if it is heard, then it is heard. Cheng Hui is not an outsider. If he wants to hear it, I can call him anytime.
I'm afraid he doesn't want to listen...
Thinking back to when he had seduced Cheng Hui in every possible way, but he was completely oblivious, Lin Qingqiu suddenly felt resentful... If Cheng Hui hadn't been so stubborn and he hadn't had the courage to force himself on him, why would he still be a pure Yang?
"Are you okay?" Cheng Hui asked cautiously.
"It's okay..." Lin Qingqiu replied lazily.
He was not quite sure what state he was in. He guessed that it was probably because he had made a blood contract with Cheng Hui, but his blood contract was not about plundering, but about Cheng Hui being the master. That was why his soul could temporarily reside in the other's sea of consciousness.
In order to go against the will of heaven, he paid a huge price. His soul was seriously injured, so he had to seal up most of it. But the bead that Cheng Hui swallowed just now allowed him to recover a little. Compared with his huge soul, that little bit was insignificant, but this was the first time he heard of something that could recuperate the soul.
"I'm fine. But does the bead you just swallowed have any effect on you?" Aqiu asked.
Cheng Hui felt it and said, "I feel like my cultivation has improved a lot."
Ah Qiu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant thing would be very useful to both of us."
He didn't bother Cheng Hui with any further questions, and said, "Alright, hurry up and find a way out. We couldn't get out just now, most likely because of Miss Xie. Since he's dead, if there is an exit, it might have been exposed."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hui began to search in the stone chamber. After a while, he found the key.
It’s not really accurate to call it an exit. In fact, the wall behind the statue is very thin, and it seems empty when you knock on it.
Previously, this stone chamber was protected by a magic circle, and Cheng Hui couldn't break the stone wall even if he wanted to. Now that Xie Wan is dead, this place has become a breakthrough point.
He punched down hard. If there was any advantage to becoming a zombie, it was probably that he was much stronger, and even the pain was reduced a lot.
When he threw the punch, the stone wall broke and small stones flew everywhere. Cheng Hui did not rush forward blindly, but waited quietly for a while.
There was no response from the other side, so he picked up another small stone and threw it over. Judging from the echo, the other side seemed to be a stone chamber similar to this one.
He approached the cave entrance carefully, and rushed in with a flash of his body. Suddenly, someone appeared beside him, and a sharp blade slashed towards his arm.
"stop!"
"Cheng Hui?"
The blade stopped just above Cheng Hui's right arm. If the opponent had not stopped in time, Cheng Hui would definitely have been bleeding.
"Ye Qi?" With the help of Fu, who had fought side by side with him before, Cheng Hui could tell at a glance that the sword light came from Ye Qi, the county guard of the Demon Suppression Division.
"Are you coming out from there?" Ye Qi asked in surprise.
Cheng Hui looked around and found that the layout of this room was the same as the one next door, even the position of the stone statue was the same.
However, at this time, the stone statue in the room had fallen to the ground and broken into several pieces. Judging from the traces, it should have been Ye Qi who did it.
"Did you meet anyone here?" Cheng Hui asked.
"Are you talking about Miss Xie?" Ye Qi asked back. "The Miss Xie just now suddenly disappeared."
Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment. Could there be two Miss Xies? Also, could Miss Xie's disappearance be because someone on his side had been burned to death?
He told his story, and Ye Qi also shared his experience. After the two sides verified each other's experience, they found that Miss Xie seemed to be fooling them both at the same time, and her purpose was nothing more than to make them worship the stone statue.
Cheng Hui took a look and saw that the fake face of the stone statue in Ye Qi's room had not been removed yet. He punched it, revealing the face of Miss Xie hidden inside the stone statue.
"Evil god? What does Miss Xie want to do?" Ye Qi came from the Demon Suppression Division and had been exposed to many things related to the worship of wild gods. He realized something was wrong the first time he saw the stone statue, but he didn't expect that the person hidden inside the stone statue was Miss Xie.
Although the evil god has a bad reputation, he is related to God after all, and it is not easy to cultivate him. Looking at Miss Xie's condition, it is obvious that she has achieved some success. This is not right.
"After we went down the well, we were forced to separate. Could Master Xuan Tan and Xin Er Niang have also encountered Miss Xie's incarnation?" Cheng Hui asked.
Ye Qi frowned: "I'm not worried about Master Xuan Tan, but Xin Er Niang might be fooled."
Cheng Hui shared the same view. Although the old monk looked kind-hearted, he would not be merciful if he could become a demon hunter and live for so long. He was just afraid that Xin Erniang, a little girl with little social experience, would take advantage of him.
"Then let's find someone first."
Ye Qi agreed, and the two of them quickly searched for clues around them.
Fortunately, the underground space did not seem to be very large, and the two soon found a hidden road in a corner of the passage.
After breaking through the wall blocking the way, they found another passage behind it. Walking along the passage, they found the third stone chamber.
When they went in, they saw Master Xuan Tan panting, as if he had also experienced a fierce battle.
After joining Master Xuan Tan, Xin Erniang was the only one left. But she was also the most dangerous among them.
After breaking the wall behind the stone statue in Master Xuan Tan's stone chamber, Xin Er Niang was indeed seen.
But at this moment, Xin Erniang was kneeling on the futon, head bowed, praying devoutly. Her arm was cut, and bright red blood continued to flow into the futon, and was absorbed by the magic circle on the ground.
