Chapter 427 Nangong Logs Offline
"That kid Chu Ying is really lucky. He'll live longer than us. You two should get married soon so he won't have any regrets. That way, I can give your grandfather and Grandpa Xu an explanation when I go down."
“They dote on Chu Ying the most. Sometimes even your grandma and your other grandmas get jealous.”
"In the next life, we must all live happily together."
"Heavens, this life has been too bitter. In the next life, please let me and everyone live happily."
With her last breath, Nangong's feet began to slowly dissipate.
"Ghouls are all unfortunate people."
"Although I did nothing wrong in life, I committed an unforgivable sin after death. Promise me you won't make things difficult for them. Let them go or stay as they please. There will be no more corpse demons after I die, okay?"
Nangong gripped Yanluo's sleeve tightly, as if he couldn't die in peace without Yanluo's consent.
Yanluo nodded, indicating that she agreed.
Nangong smiled with relief, nestled in Yanluo's arms, and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
“Xiaoxi, please take her in. I raised her. She’s not very talented, but she’s kind and honest. You’ve known her for a while, so you should know that. When you’re not around, she’s like my own granddaughter. I’ve neglected her lately, and I hope she won’t blame me.”
Nangong's voice was quite weak.
Yanluo's barrier was airtight, but in a daze, Yanluo felt a gentle breeze on his face. The breeze was very warm, and it was impossible for such a breeze to appear on the mountaintop at night, let alone inside his barrier.
Nangong's eyes were vacant, and it was unclear where she was looking.
“I saw it, your grandfather came to pick me up.”
Yan Luo looked in the direction Nangong pointed. His eyes widened, just like Chi Miaomiao's back then. He saw a tall, thin young man with medium-length hair. His bangs covered his eyes, but they couldn't hide the extreme tenderness in his eyes.
Knowing she was about to leave, Nangong used her last strength to gently stroke Yanluo's head.
“My poor child, you look like an empty shell, without those who were by your side. I hope this is the last time I will lose them.”
"I am the end, and I am the beginning. Let's embrace a new life."
"Grandma, I will always love you. In our next life, we must be together and live a happy life together."
Nangong slowly closed her eyes. Her body had not completely dissipated, but Yanluo saw a white spirit rise from Nangong's body, transform into Nangong's appearance, and fly towards the young man who had been waiting not far away.
Nangong grabbed the young man's ear and yanked it hard, his mouth opening and closing as if he were cursing fiercely. The young man could only keep smiling and apologizing.
Finally, the two held each other's hands and gazed at Yanluo, who was also gazing back at them.
Her tears had dried up. In Yanluo's arms lay Nangong's dissipating body. The young man and Nangong, not far away, waved to Yanluo, then drifted away with a warm night breeze. At that moment, Nangong's body also completely vanished.
The Chaos Sword, stuck in Nangong's heart, fell to the ground. Its black blade emitted a strong red light. Yanluo paid no attention to it. His voice was hoarse as he murmured in a low voice, filled with extreme resentment.
"No, don't leave me alone."
The buzzing in his ears grew louder and louder, and Yan Luo's breathing became more and more rapid. He fell to the ground, the barrier was broken, and not only did the buzzing linger in his ears, but Liu Qian's mournful cries also filled the air.
Yanluo fainted.
The perspective shifts to the south, where the [Blizzard] and [Martial Emperor] teams, both at the ninth tier, face off against the left and right guardians of the double ninth-tier Corpse King.
The Left and Right Protectors were second only to Nangong in strength. They were of one mind, and even though their opponents were two ninth-level ghost hunters with several eighth-level assistants by their side, the Left and Right Protectors were not afraid of them at all.
Their bone spikes were quite distinctive; each was a single, but extremely thick spike. The left protector's spike was black, while the right protector's was white. They relentlessly attacked Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen.
Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen were extremely cautious, because if they were injured, their teammates would be in danger. This made them hesitant in both offense and defense, unable to play freely.
The Left Protector manipulated his bone spikes to sweep towards Li Lingzhou. Li Lingzhou did not dodge, but blocked with his sword. He took the opportunity to rush towards the Left Protector and slashed at him with his sword.
The Right Protector wanted to help his sister, but Qin Jinwen stopped him. Qin Jinwen swiftly slashed at the Right Protector with his bone spikes, and the Right Protector, who wanted to use his bone spikes to help his sister, could only retract them to block the blow.
The bone spikes were very hard, and the knife in Qin Jinwen's hand was no pushover either. It was forged from hard ethereal crystal fused with the bone spikes of the corpse demon. For the corpse demon, the bone spikes were both a powerful weapon and a solid shield.
If a ghoul is injured, it must consume its own blood energy to help it recover. If the consumption and replenishment are not balanced, it will also become weak.
The Right Protector knew that the woman before her was of similar strength to herself, so she dared not be overconfident.
The two sisters fought Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen to a standstill, while the two eighth-tier corpse demon followers fared much worse.
Both ninth-tier squads consisted of one ninth-tier ghost hunter and six eighth-tier ghost hunters. Ah Bei and Chen Haonan were beaten to a pulp. Ah Bei had one arm severed, and due to insufficient supplies, his arm had not yet recovered.
Chan Ho-nam wasn't in much better shape. His bone spikes were severed by the onslaught, and his supplies couldn't keep up, meaning he lost his shield.
Zhu Qinlan seized the opportunity and slashed diagonally at Chen Haonan's chest with her sword. Chen Haonan knew he couldn't dodge the sword, so he quickly grabbed a low-level corpse demon fighting against a low-level team to block the sword for him.
This sword strike directly caused the low-level corpse demon to die and dissipate, a shocking scene that left Chen Haonan somewhat shaken.
The battle on the entire wild mountain was only evenly matched in the south and west. After the Ninth Squad quickly cleared the northwest position, Chi Miaomiao led the Ghost Hunters to support the west position.
The situation in the other five locations is not good either. A level 9 squad has to face two level 9 zombie kings. Everyone is trying their best to stall for time. As long as the battle at the abandoned ancient temple on the mountaintop is won, the first squad and the youngest level 9 ghost hunter will come to reinforce them.
Inside the armed helicopter in the night sky, Zhang Bichen was so anxious she was about to jump up and down. She watched as another hour passed, wondering why reinforcements were still nowhere to be seen.
Just as Zhang Bichen was feeling extremely anxious, the sound of several propellers suddenly came from the night sky.
As the armed helicopters turned around, Zhang Bichen saw several armed helicopters flying towards her.
"Great!! Reinforcements have arrived!!!"
Zhang Bichen clenched her fists, her blood boiling with excitement.
Descending along the ropes, one after another, the Ghost Hunters in combat gear joined the battlefield in the wild mountains. Zhang Bichen directed the Ghost Hunters to disperse and provide reinforcements through the helicopter's loudspeaker.
With reinforcements, the ninth-tier ghost hunters were no longer constrained.
The captain of the second squad, "Demon Suppression," displayed an aura of taking on ten opponents single-handedly. The opposing Zodiac Ghosts, "Snake" Yu Jingzi and "Monkey" Wang Sun, were dumbfounded; this guy wasn't like this before.
Is he cheating?
