Chapter 7

However, Fan Dongliu ultimately suffered from his youth! He never expected that the chi monster would open its mouth and vomit out a blackish-green, indescribably putrid liquid, which splashed onto Fan Dongliu’s face. Not only that, the liquid also swept away the black mist surrounding the chi monster’s body!

The black mist was not something easy to deal with. It was the placenta that surrounded the chi monster’s body after its death, infused with the souls of the people it had killed in revenge. It corroded the heart and bones and was adept at defiling various magical artifacts. The compass, splashed with a few drops, immediately hissed and emitted white smoke, more exaggerated than if sulfuric acid had been poured on it.

With a successful strike, the heavily wounded chi monster immediately crawled over greedily, revealing its charred and sharp teeth, and bit down fiercely on Fan Dongliu!

However, this bite, which was supposed to be a sure hit, froze in mid-air!!!

At this moment, Fan Dongliu, who had his eyes tightly closed and appeared to be in pain, held the jade flute he had been holding. His right hand suddenly pulled out a fine sword that shone with a cold light. The sword flashed, piercing into the chest of the ferocious chi monster, and was immediately pulled out.

This thrust and pull were executed with a dragging technique, creating a terrifying wound. More astonishingly, the four actions of drawing the flute, pulling out the sword, thrusting, and withdrawing were performed in one fluid motion, like flowing clouds and water, pleasing to the eye!

Fan Dongliu, having landed a successful strike, still kept his eyes closed, but his expression carried a regal arrogance. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he couldn’t help but whisper softly:

“With just your puny strength, you think you can defile and corrode me? You should know that my fate and soul have long been tainted by a force a thousand times, no! Ten thousand times stronger than you! Your petty poison is nothing!”

As he spoke, a jade pendant at his waist began to emit a faint light, clearly detoxifying. The wound on the chi monster, where it was stabbed, emitted a hissing white smoke. Clearly, the sword in the flute was no ordinary weapon. After being tainted by the chi monster’s evil blood, it shone with a crystalline light, showing no signs of being defiled.

However, this ghostly creature was extremely vicious and refused to abandon the fresh blood before it. Despite repeated severe injuries, it circled around the tightly closed-eyed Fan Dongliu a few times and pounced again. Its two black ghostly claws waved wildly, and it looked as if, once it got close, Fan Dongliu would either die or lose a piece of flesh.

Fan Dongliu sighed lightly. The sharp, slender sword in the flute suddenly thrust out again, flashing with light. This time, it pierced through the chi monster’s left eye, straight into the unopened eye on its forehead!

This thrust was simple and unadorned, but the chi monster, which had been raging, immediately froze in place, fell to the ground along the direction the sword was pulled out, and a large amount of white, viscous fluid flowed from the wound, clearly indicating that it was dead.

Having successfully killed the enemy, Fan Dongliu sheathed the sword with a somewhat desolate demeanor and sighed slightly. He seemed somewhat dissatisfied with his previous performance, but his eyes were now bleeding, which was normal, as the eyeballs are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. However, the blood quickly turned from black to red, indicating that he was recovering and was not seriously injured.

Then, Fan Dongliu turned to Lin Fengjin. Although his eyes were tightly closed and he was also heavily injured, in this instant, he still appeared handsome and dignified, like a fallen prince. He then walked over step by step, extremely steadily, without revealing any weaknesses.

After experiencing the chi monster’s ambush, Fan Dongliu had clearly matured!

“You, how can you still see me?” Lin Fengjin, who was lying on the ground, couldn’t help but hiss. At this moment, he was extremely disheveled and listless, with red veins in his eyes, covered in mud from head to toe, a stark contrast to Fan Dongliu, who looked like a prince compared to a beggar!

“Everything in heaven and earth is governed by the five virtues. The wind is my eyes,” Fan Dongliu continued to approach calmly. By the time he finished speaking, he was already less than five meters away from Lin Fengjin!

“Why do you want to kill me?!” Lin Fengjin’s face was distorted. Under the immense pressure of life and death, these words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

Fan Dongliu said indifferently:

“Ask the King of Hell after you die. If you must blame someone, blame the fact that we bear the same destiny!”

As he spoke, he continued to advance, clearly not intending to give Lin Fengjin any time to delay!

At this moment, Lin Fengjin suddenly remembered the feeling he had before!

The feeling of being grabbed by the head by the man in front of him, which was utterly overwhelming,

It was the first time Lin Fengjin had faced life and death so profoundly and so fiercely!!!

He could clearly feel his soul and life being stripped away bit by bit from the top of his head, being absorbed with a sinister laugh!!!

It was the humble and tragic feeling of being food, and the pain of being utterly helpless against the enemy! The powerlessness and helplessness, coupled with the resulting madness and pain, were Lin Fengjin’s worst nightmare.

“... No...!!”

“Don’t...!!”

“Don’t...!”

In extreme fear and anger, looking at the elegant and beautiful youth approaching step by step like a demon...

At this moment, Lin Fengjin’s face, covered in tears, blood, and snot, suddenly felt something inside him break! And it broke with a “crack,” cleanly and decisively, like a wafer cookie being snapped, even scattering a few dry crumbs at the edges.

At this moment, Lin Fengjin’s mind was strangely filled with an illusion, as if he was not in the moonlit haunted house but thousands of meters above the ground, with the wind howling fiercely, spinning headfirst at high speed toward the ground, his eyes seeing the earth, which was rapidly spinning and growing larger!

This illusion flashed and disappeared, and what reappeared before Lin Fengjin was the mortal enemy who had approached him.

Although Fan Dongliu’s eyes were tightly closed, the sharp and pointed sword in his hand shone with a fierce light. He suddenly attacked Lin Fengjin, and to outsiders, it was just a flash of light, but in reality, he had made four consecutive slashes, targeting Lin Fengjin’s left and right arms and left and right legs! The speed of the attack was so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye.

Fan Dongliu’s intention was clear: to ensure there were no further complications, he wanted to render Lin Fengjin completely defenseless, eliminate any potential resistance, and then quickly leave after sucking him dry.

However, at this moment, Lin Fengjin’s eyes showed a subtle change. Despite his heavy breathing and apparent resignation, his eyes suddenly emitted a strange light!! Only those who met his gaze could feel that his eyes seemed to be filled with many incredibly flexible threads, swirling and intertwining in the air, very resilient and sticky!

“How can I die here? How can I die here? If the heavens chose me to come to this world, was it just to bury me in this damned haunted house?!!” Lin Fengjin suddenly roared, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the sharp blade coming toward him.

At this moment, under the threat of death, the pride, arrogance, and madness hidden deep within him erupted in an instant!!!

“Even if I die, I want to see clearly how this blade cuts my throat! Come on!”

However, just as the incredibly sharp sword was about to slash half a meter from Lin Fengjin’s face, something strange happened.

Lin Fengjin suddenly felt that the sword, which had been a blur of countless images and impossible to catch, seemed to have plunged into an extremely viscous paste, moving so slowly that it seemed to be inching closer, clearly aiming for his left shoulder, and it was a vertical slash from top to bottom.

“How can this be?” Lin Fengjin’s shock was indescribable, but his body instinctively made a dodging move.

He immediately realized that although the enemy’s movements had slowed down, his own movements had become even slower. If the enemy’s attack speed was one centimeter per second, his dodging speed could only be described as half a millimeter per second!

At this moment, Lin Fengjin felt that his mind was incredibly clear and focused, free of any distractions. As soon as he thought, it seemed as if all the cells in his brain were revolving around the problem. Analyzing the situation, he immediately concluded:

It wasn’t that Fan Dongliu’s attack speed had slowed down, but that the flow of time had somehow been slowed down in his perception! Therefore, although his mind and analysis could keep up, even far exceeding the attack speed, his body’s poor physical condition had not improved, making it extremely difficult to react.

With a light “sizzle,” blood splattered, and Lin Fengjin grunted in pain. His left shoulder was severely injured, and a large piece of flesh was cut off. However, after experiencing the torture of being drained of his life force, this pain was trivial, and he could still react as quickly as his body allowed to dodge.
