Four of us, including myself, rushed towards the Mountain Ghost. Aside from Major Ma continuously firing his weapon, we, the Triangle, swung our swords at the Mountain Ghost. Especially Lime, who struck with such force that blood gushed out. Although Xianxian and I managed to inflict a wound that bled, it was nowhere near as powerful as Lime's attack.
Suddenly, I was astonished to notice that the Mountain Ghost's healing ability seemed to have slowed down significantly!
Perhaps our actions had once again thoroughly enraged the Mountain Ghost. As its suction diminished, the others fell to the ground, their faces pale and filled with terror.
The Mountain Ghost turned its massive body and lunged at us fiercely. In an instant, Lime was thrown back without any warning; I barely saw how the Mountain Ghost attacked! Following that, Xianxian and then Major Ma were also sent flying.
My mind raced; the Mountain Ghost's speed was too fast, and it vanished in an instant. By the time I felt a gust of wind rushing towards me, my body had already taken a heavy blow and was sent flying.
I coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to stabilize my breathing.
It had been a long time since I had sustained such severe injuries since my last hospitalization after jumping off a mountain!
As I got up from the ground, I heard Xianxian spitting out blood while telling Major Ma, "Officer Ma, cough cough, please take those people away from here."
"Okay, leave it to me!" Major Ma gasped while leaning against a tree. To cover him, Lime charged forward again and struck the Mountain Ghost but was still swatted away due to being caught off guard. At that moment, Major Ma dashed out; the few people on the ground were already incapacitated. After urging them a few times amidst the chaos, only we from Triangle and an old black monster remained.
The weather grew even darker, and the air felt heavier; each breath felt like my lungs were being compressed.
Repeated falls and being knocked back could not stop our advance. Here, we could not retreat or back down!
I could tolerate my own weakness, but I could not accept fleeing in the face of adversity!
Mountain Ghost is just a stepping stone; jumping on it may lead to an even more perilous path ahead. But if I retreat, the road may be flat, yet it is merely a lifeless dead end. Fate has given me The Dead and a pair of Ghost Rings, not to escape difficulties!
I will face challenges head-on! I will fight my way through bloodshed to find a path to survival!
Bang...
All I could hear was the sound of “Feng Zi,” and then nothing else.
My body felt as if it were being torn apart. I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, staring intently ahead, my gaze unfocused, yet I witnessed a scene that would be Eternal Life unforgettable!
I saw my own soul!
No, it should be said that my soul was already half out of my body, as if it were glued together with my physical form. Mountain Ghost was pulling from one side while I was tugging from the other, stretching longer and longer, feeling the breath of death creeping closer. In that moment, I saw Mountain Ghost's eyes—blood-red eyes filled with a greedy glint called 'desire'!
It actually wanted to claim my soul for itself!
I couldn't help but force a bitter smile; indeed, it had noticed the difference in my soul!
As my soul was about to be completely separated, my Consciousness began to blur. I wanted to resist, but I couldn't move, feeling the heart-wrenching pain tearing through me, piercing deep into my soul!
This was not the first time I had sensed the breath of death, yet this time fear surged within me. I really didn't want to think about it—was I going to die just as The League of Shadows was formed? Damn it, can’t this just stop messing with me!
I don't want to die!
I was furious! I was truly angry! Why should I give my soul to this Old Tortoise! Not only for myself but also for the being within me, I absolutely refuse to hand over my soul to anyone! No one at all!
Perhaps the thoughts were too heavy, as I felt a cool breath flowing from my wrist into my heart. That refreshing sensation was like the essence of heaven and earth, gradually soothing the wounds and dissipating the pain. Suddenly opening my eyes, I saw a soft green light shimmering on my wrist; it was the Cat's Eye Stone!
In an instant, I felt countless powers surging from my fingertips into my body, wave after wave. Could it be that I was actually absorbing the power of the Mountain Ghost?!
At that moment, time seemed to stop, and the air became thick. I sensed that unfamiliar power within me, an alien aura that was ancient yet exuded evil! It nearly drove me insane!
But in the next second, the evil aura seemed to find a breakthrough, rushing into The Dead, leaving only a massive energy essence crashing around inside me as if in an uninhabited land.
...
When I woke up, it was already three days later. Xianxian excitedly told me that the Old Tortoise was dead, reduced to nothing but dust, dead beyond measure!
“How did he die?” I asked, looking at the group by my bedside in confusion, only to find Lime among them.
“Feng, are you okay?”
“Feng Zi, are you alright?”
...
“This is a long story,” Xianxian said as he stood up and urged everyone to leave. “What are you all doing here? Go back! My brother just woke up and needs to rest. We can talk about anything tomorrow.”
Seeing everyone wanting to say something but holding back their words, I couldn't help but smile slightly. In the end, I said nothing because it seemed that what happened next could not be revealed.
Once everyone had left, Xianxian finally sat down on the stool and excitedly began to recount what had happened that day.
It turned out that the three of us were evenly matched against Mountain Ghost, but we gradually started to fall behind. Then I was pulled into the air by Mountain Ghost, and even after being blasted by Thunderclap, Old Tortoise didn’t give up on trying to absorb me. The two of them were almost out of strength when suddenly Old Wang let out a crazy roar. In the end, his body shriveled up and then exploded. When he woke up, he saw a ground full of black debris, and I was also unconscious.
I nodded thoughtfully. I didn’t hold back about the two of them, so I crossed my legs and sat on the bed, saying, “At that time, Old Tortoise wanted to absorb my soul, but I naturally refused, so…” I explained my situation to them.
Lime didn’t react much, but Xianxian suddenly jumped up and grabbed my wrist, looking at Cat's Eye Stone and asking, “What kind of treasure is this?”
I shook my head, staring at Lime with a look of grievance. It seemed that he was the only one who knew about it, yet he refused to say anything.
“I forgot,” Lime said nonchalantly.
Xianxian and I both sighed. “So you’re saying that Old Tortoise originally wanted to absorb you but ended up having all its essence absorbed instead? That’s why it turned into debris?”
I nodded and replied, “That’s the only way to think about it.” I was really glad to have The Dead in hand; otherwise, if I absorbed Mountain Ghost’s essence and couldn’t control the evil energy, I would go insane myself!
Xianxian immediately looked at me with envy and jealousy and asked, “How do you feel now?”
I jumped off the bed, clenched my fists, and laughed, “I feel great! Right now, I could take down a bull with my bare hands!”
Xianxian exclaimed that I was a freak while Lime seemed to have a suspicious smirk at the corner of his mouth…
