811 The Person That Walked Out Of The Door (1/2)
One step, two steps…
The disciples slowly walked towards the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground. It didn't take long before he was standing behind him.
”Senior brother w.a.n.g, senior brother w.a.n.g. What's wrong?” the disciple shouted carefully, gripping his sword as tight as he could just in case anything went wrong.
However, the middle-aged man ignored him completely. He just kept his head low and murmured softly.
The disciple was a little freaked out to see that.
Although there were no ghosts in this world, but the middle-aged man was acting so strangely that the disciple couldn't help but make connections between the two.
”Senior brother w.a.n.g, I'm Lu Xiaochuan…” the disciple took another step forward and introduced himself as he cautiously put a hand on the man's shoulder.
However, as soon as he did that, he heard the sound of bones cracking.
Crack!
After that, the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground.
They heard a bunch of heartrending sounds, and the middle-aged man's body became smaller and smaller. He eventually crumpled to the ground as all his bones were broken.
This scene made Lu Xiaochuan's hair stood on end.
Even though he had killed someone before, such a creepy way of dying was too much for him to handle.
However, Lu Xiaochuan didn't run away immediately, which showed that he was mentally tough. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the man's body, he heard someone shouting.
”Junior brother Lu, run!”
”Run?!” Lu Xiaochuan trembled and intuitively retreated. Despite that, he felt his entire body being crushed by a terrifying pressure right when he was about to take the first step.
Following which, he kneeled down on the ground uncontrollably.
Most importantly, the pressure was pressing so hard against his chest that it was making a buzzing noise.
”Glub, Gu… Gu…” Lu Xiaochuan made a low and deep sound, and with that, he was closing his palms together.
This was an eerie sight to behold, especially for the disciples standing behind him.
The only word that could describe what was happening, was 'possessed'.
The middle-aged man, senior brother w.a.n.g, kneeled down in front of Heaven Receiving Door.
Lu Xiaochuan, who went to check on him, also kneeled down after he touched senior brother w.a.n.g. His position even seemed like he was welcoming senior brother w.a.n.g.
”It's a ghost!” the disciple in white was freaked out and he ran away without ever stopping.
It wasn't just because this was out of control. More importantly, what happened at the Heaven Receiving Door was too horrifying.
The other two disciples were pale as a sheet as well when they saw this.
It was too harrowing.
So many people had 'died' in just mere moments. The ground was painted red by the blood, producing a blood-chilling scene.
Wait a minute, the blood on the ground?!
The two disciples went agape when they saw the blood on the ground, because it seemed to be following a weird pattern.
It felt like a… Diagram!
Furthermore, it was a huge circle that contained extremely complicated symbols which were formed by the blood.
There were eight of these symbols!
”Blood… Blood Offering Ill.u.s.tration!” One of the disciples finally started trembling, because he had seen the same diagram a few months ago.
The only difference was, the Blood Offering Ill.u.s.tration was in the sky when he saw it the first time. However, it was on the ground this time.
Most importantly, the eighth symbol on the Blood Offering Ill.u.s.tration was slowly coagulating and glowing with a b.l.o.o.d.y radiance.
”This is wrong, something's wrong. Eight… That's it, eight of them! Eight people died… This is strange!”
The other disciple looked towards the bodies on the ground and became stunned when he realized something.
There were exactly eight disciples that died.
Of the eight disciples guarding the Heaven Receiving Door, six died on the spot. Senior brother w.a.n.g was dragged away and started 'praying' in front of the door, following which, junior brother Lu went to take his place. Adding up the six deceased disciples and the other two who kneeled down in front of the door, it just so happened that there were eight of them.
