Chapter 70

The ghost maiden's efficiency was truly remarkable; she quickly found Wang Junqi, who was in a dire situation.

"Master, I've found him!"

The ghost maiden's voice, transmitted through a soul connection, reached Dongfang Xiuzhe's ears, along with the location she had discovered.

Since the ghost maiden was still just a basic spirit, her offensive capabilities were very weak. Otherwise, she could have rescued Wang Junqi first.

"Very good!"

A smile curved the corners of his mouth, and Dongfang Xiuzhe's figure vanished from the spot.

The "Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts" were unaware that they had provoked a yin-yang master, and the consequences would be severe.

※※※※※※※※※

Wang Junqi was tightly bound to a tree trunk with sturdy ropes, her slender body almost breaking from the pressure, and her pale face devoid of any color.

Not far from her were the dismembered bodies of the little boy and girl who had been with her just moments ago.

She had just witnessed how they used sharp blades to tear her classmates apart into a pile of flesh.

The bloody and gruesome process was unbearable to watch, and the agonizing screams of the victims still echoed in her mind.

"Why are you killing us? What have we done wrong?"

Wang Junqi's once bright eyes now lacked any luster, and she seemed like a soulless shell.

Her mental state was showing signs of collapse, which was extremely dangerous!

"Little girl, I must admit, your performance has surprised me. First, you managed to escape from the three of us, and now you can face death so calmly. Not bad, really not bad!"

The Gut-Slitter said with a sinister smile, his expression resembling the ghostly figures of the black and white guardians, giving off a chilling sensation.

However, Wang Junqi's eyes remained vacant, staring ahead, though she was still alive, her heart was gradually dying!

Was a genius in magic about to fall here?

Seeing that Wang Junqi showed no reaction, the Gut-Slitter was not angry. He was confident that his methods would make this teenage girl cry in terror.

He loved to see the expressions of pain, fear, and despair on others' faces, a twisted pleasure of his!

He grabbed her hair and lifted her face, saying to himself, "To be honest, it's a pity to kill you like this! But I am very curious about your heart. I want to see what makes it different, so I will cut it out and take a look."

He then brandished the blood-dripping blade threateningly!

"Oh? No reaction at all? Are you really not afraid? Very well, very well indeed!"

A sinister gleam appeared in his eyes, and with a swift movement of his arm, the blade flashed, cutting through Wang Junqi's clothes, revealing her smooth, black-pearl-like skin and the undeveloped female features.

Wang Junqi remained motionless, like a dead person!

Licking the blood from the blade, the Gut-Slitter said with a sinister smile, "I will peel your chest open inch by inch, and I won't let you die immediately. You should thank me; I will let you experience what it means to be worse than dead. I love to hear those agonizing screams, ha ha~"

"Get on with it, Gut-Slitter, don't dawdle. If you don't, I'll take over!" the Corpse-Dismemberer urged impatiently.

"What's the rush? Don't you think it's a pity to kill her so quickly?"

As the Gut-Slitter spoke, he slowly moved the blade toward her chest.

Just as the tip of the blade was about to touch her skin, a green light suddenly appeared, blocking the Gut-Slitter's view.

This unexpected turn of events made the Gut-Slitter instinctively pull back his hand and step backward, eyeing the green light warily.

"What... what is this thing?" the Gut-Slitter asked in surprise.

The Corpse-Dismemberer and the Skin-Peeler behind him also stared at the green light in shock, unsure of what it was!

The green light hovered between Wang Junqi and the Gut-Slitter, as if protecting the bound girl.

As the Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts speculated about the green light, a cold, childlike voice suddenly rang out from the air.

"Ghost maiden, well done. I will reward you later."

The green light was actually the ghost maiden, who jumped with joy at the praise.

"Who? Who is speaking?"

The Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.

A "whoosh" sound, like a gust of wind, swept past.

When the Three Corpse-Eating Ghosts realized what had happened, they were horrified to see a new person, specifically a little boy, standing not far from them.

The little boy flicked his wrist, and a water blade cut through the sturdy ropes, then he caught the nearly falling Wang Junqi in his arms.

"Junqi... Junqi, it's me!"

He called out several times, but the girl in his arms remained unresponsive.

"What the hell? Where did this brat come from?" the Gut-Slitter's surprised voice came from behind.

Dongfang Xiuzhe took out a piece of his own clothing from a storage ring and draped it over Wang Junqi, though it was a bit small, it was better than nothing!

"Junqi, wait a moment. I'll deal with these three pests first, then I'll tend to your injuries!"

Placing Wang Junqi on the grass, Dongfang Xiuzhe's cold, icy face stared directly at the three ugly figures before him.

"This is getting more and more interesting. The little girl surprised me, and now this sudden appearance of a boy has surprised me even more. I can't wait to hear his screams of agony!"

The Gut-Slitter stared at Dongfang Xiuzhe with a bloodthirsty look, his blade ready to strike.

"Gut-Slitter, let me handle this boy!"

The Corpse-Dismemberer stepped forward with a fanatical look in his eyes, staring at Dongfang Xiuzhe.

Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled coldly and said with a mocking tone, "Don't be in a hurry. I will make you scream enough very soon!"

"Ha ha~ Did you hear what he just said? Ha ha~~"

The Corpse-Dismemberer laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

The Gut-Slitter also laughed, "Boy, you're still too young!"

"Boy, if you beg me, I can guarantee a quick and painless death with one strike," the Corpse-Dismemberer said as if he were a good person.

The Skin-Peeler chimed in, "In your next life, remember to drink more milk and grow your teeth before you talk like that. This life, you just had bad luck to meet us!"

Hearing their taunts, Dongfang Xiuzhe did not get angry; instead, his smile grew wider.

Next life?

Wanting a next life?

"Let me tell you, you won't even have a next next life," he paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "because—I won't let you reincarnate!"
