Chapter 58 (1/2)

The black umbrella that had fallen by Li Ang’s side vibrated for no reason.

The sprinting demon abruptly stopped. A red line had suddenly appeared on his stubby neck.

Clink…

Blood spurted from Zou Zhengze’s neck, painting the walls in red.

The demon scratched his neck a few times and extracted a short strand of hair.

It was a short, black, sharp strand of hair.

This female hair strand was hanging vertically from the corridor’s ceiling. As Zou Zhengze was charging forward, this strand of hair cut his throat.

Zou Zhengze would have been beheaded if his body had not been so sturdy or if the hair strand had been more ductile.

Unfortunately, there was no what-if.

Swoosh.

As though a trap had been activated, countless black thin hair strands crawled from the corridor walls. They coiled together like vines, forming a long rope and creating a huge net that assaulted Zou Zhengze.

“Hmph!”

The demon smirked as dense Demonic Qi surged and swept across the corridor.

Chai Cuiqiao, who was hiding under the floor, paled. As a vengeful ghost, she was most afraid of demons like this, who possessed abundant blood Qi.

“Where are you going?”

Zou Zhengze was about to pry out the vengeful ghost when Li Ang lifted himself from the wall with a crack and took a deep breath.

The Ripple Breathing Technique circulated to its maximum capacity. Meanwhile, blood rushed through his bloodstream and his muscles shook as a burning-hot ripple surged through his body.

The ripple energy circulated to its limit, causing ‘ripple scampering’.

Adrenaline was secreted once more. The intense pain rooted him in reality. This was the very first time Li Ang clearly felt his every muscle, bone, vein, and organ…

Zou Zhengze suddenly sensed danger. Subconsciously, he lifted both his arms, creating something that looked like a shield in front of him. Through the gap between his arms, he saw Li Ang kick the wall behind him.

In an instant, Li Ang appeared in front of Zou Zhengze. An extremely powerful ripple was concentrated at the tip of the dagger’s blade in Li Ang’s hand, forming a bright star-shaped silver flare.

Clink…

The energy known as “silver scampered ripple” extended from the dagger’s blade, allowing the whole blade to pierce Zou Zhengze’s skin and flesh without any obstructions.

Compared to Zou Zhengze’s three-meter-tall body, the wound created by the dagger was insignificant. However, the ripple, which was capable of repressing all Yin Qi, spread all over his body through the wound and corroded it.

In the blink of an eye, the palm of the three-eyed giant was corroded halfway through. Flesh dripped onto the floor like melted candle wax, exposing the disorderly bone spurs concealed within.

In the face of this excruciating pain, Zou Zhengze could no longer maintain his previous calmness. His face contorted and the red-black runes on his skin once again squirmed like tadpoles. He looked even more frightening than Tyrant in the video game Resident Evil.

The dark cloud whirlpool suspended in the air stopped swirling, and the souls floating in mid-air suddenly could not sense the warm and peaceful breeze anymore, which made them look stunned and confused.

Chai Cuiqiao flew out of the building and headed toward the lost souls with a pale face. She then reached out, grabbed the wrists of two souls, and dragged them back down to stuff them back into their own bodies.
