Zhong Kui's Diary
Thud thud thud thud!
Bang bang bang bang!
Tap tap tap tap!
The sounds of various weapons intertwined, echoing continuously in the warehouse, and I had a vague sense of foreboding. From the cold smile at the corner of Flower Attacker's mouth, it seemed he did not take these weapons seriously; it was possible that he was not afraid of their attacks.
Looking closely, sure enough, Flower Attacker had transformed into an illusion. Bullets passed straight through his body, and his figure rippled like a breeze brushing across the surface of water. These powerful bullets caused him no harm whatsoever.
Fortunately, the positions of the Special Forces were calculated; even though the bullets passed through Flower Attacker's body, they did not hit anyone else and cause collateral damage.
"Useless, let me handle this!" an Ancient Voice rang out as an old man with white hair and a silver beard spoke.
Isn't Qingcheng's grandfather deaf and mute? Did I guess wrong? This old man is not Qingcheng's grandfather? Then I noticed an orange earplug hanging from his ear and a silver chip placed at his throat. Suddenly, it dawned on me; he must be using high-tech assistance to overcome his deafness.
The old man spread his hands, and a scorching airflow surged forth instantly. A phantom of a Crimson Dragon appeared around him, swirling and occasionally emitting a clear Dragon Roar.
"Go!" The old man waved his hand, and the Crimson Dragon soared into the air, charging towards Flower Attacker.
Flower Attacker smiled coldly, casually forming a Spell with a wave of his hand. A silver semi-transparent wall appeared out of thin air. The Crimson Dragon crashed into the wall as if a large fireball had plunged directly into water, producing a hissing sound and releasing thick white mist. After the mist dissipated, the Crimson Dragon vanished, and the wall shook for a moment before disappearing completely.
Seeing this, the old man snorted and moved his hands in quick succession. Suddenly, countless Spells flew through the air—what with Dragon Roar, tiger roars, flashes of blades, ice and fire, thunder and lightning—various Spell attacks rained down on Flower Attacker, who merely nonchalantly erected silver walls to block them.
On the surface, it seemed that the old man and Flower Attacker were evenly matched in strength; however, in reality, the old man was using all his power while Flower Attacker was casually defending. From this perspective, it seemed that Flower Attacker was stronger.
Both were Grandmaster-level Experts, so why was there still a gap? I wondered if this gap could be filled with numbers. Thinking of this, I shouted: "Kong Xuan, hurry up and help!"
At that moment, those Special Forces had already paired up to control Sha Monk and others. Kong Xuan stepped forward from behind me and smiled wryly at me: "How do you expect me to help? This is a battle between Grandmaster Level experts! What can a kindergarten child like you do to help?"
This analogy is straightforward, leaving me momentarily speechless. After a while, I said, "Then you must first help me break free from this confinement."
Kong Xuan shook his head, "How could a child in kindergarten possibly untie the ropes that an adult has tightly bound?"
This analogy remains just as clear, but damn it, can you provide another example?
The two combatants in the arena were about to determine the victor. The old man was sweating profusely, and the intensity of his attacks was gradually diminishing. In contrast, the Flower Attacker continued to defend casually, clearly indicating that the winning side was the Flower Attacker.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, the old man glanced at me and let out a long howl. A massive sword appeared out of thin air and lunged directly at the Flower Attacker. Meanwhile, he dashed in front of me and reached out to pat my shoulder.
"You old fool seeking death!" the Flower Attacker shouted angrily upon seeing this. With his left hand, he waved in the air, and a Golden Shield appeared in his hand, deflecting the massive sword. His right hand opened wide, and a beam of golden light shot from his palm straight toward the old man's back.
The old man disregarded the golden light and slapped my shoulder. My entire body trembled as I suddenly regained consciousness, feeling a surge of energy flowing into me from my shoulder, coursing throughout my body. At that moment, I realized that several talismans were binding my meridians at various vital points, preventing my energy from flowing smoothly.
Upon closer inspection, I found that these talismans bore the incantations 'Hong,' 'Mu,' 'Na,' 'An,' 'Da,' 'Chi,' 'Gong,' and 'Mu.' It seemed these incantations were causing trouble; as long as I recited them while coming into contact with the Book of Life and Death, they would immobilize me and combine my Yin-Yang Energy with the energy of the Book of Life and Death, turning me into a vessel for their whims.
Once the old man's energy surged into my body, it struck those eight incantations like lightning. Just as it reached the fifth one, the Flower Attacker's attack hit the old man's back.
With a loud thud, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood but did not release my shoulder. Instead, he used that momentum to break through all eight of my talismans. In an instant, I could move my hands and feet again.
"Use... the Book of Life and Death... to defeat him!" The old man spat out another mouthful of blood; his body went limp and he collapsed toward me, fainting.
With the Book of Life and Death in my left hand and the Blazing Barrier in my right, I could only support the old man with my shoulder. Fortunately, Kong Xuan was quick on his feet and rushed over to help the old man aside while shouting, "Xiao Da Ye! Xiao Da Ye!"
This old man was indeed Qingcheng's grandfather. That means he is also my grandfather. Damn it! Flower Attacker, I'm telling you, this feud has escalated!
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Da Ye had fallen to the ground, the Flower Attacker disdainfully shook his head at me: "Don't come up here to seek death; I'm afraid I'll dirty my hands!"
He then walked over to the Satellite and reached out as if triggering some switch. A silver card slot popped out from the front of the Satellite. The Flower Attacker placed his magic circle onto the card slot.
"Don't let him put it in!" Kong Xuan shouted at me.
Damn, just a moment ago he was a Grandmaster, and compared to him, you are like a kindergarten child. What about me? Am I a baby or a fetus? Even if the formation is put into the Satellite, what difference does it make? This Satellite is still far from being complete.
Hearing Kong Xuan's pig-like scream, his subordinates showed no hesitation and charged towards the Flower Attacker. With his left hand extended forward, he smeared a page of the Book of Life and Death across the Flower Attacker's face.
The Flower Attacker's expression changed slightly; he was quite wary of this page from the Book of Life and Death. He stepped back, scolded lightly, and his right hand changed color as if wearing a wooden glove, directly striking my arm.
A sharp pain shot through my arm; under the Flower Attacker's full force, it felt as if my arm had been struck by a massive iron rod. My left arm instantly lost all sensation, but because my arm was numb, I still held onto the Book of Life and Death.
I suppressed the intense pain and shouted, "Burn, Firebird!"
At the same time, the golden sphere in my right hand smashed towards the Flower Attacker. As soon as I finished speaking, a burst of golden mist erupted from the sphere.
The Flower Attacker seemed somewhat surprised, not knowing what I meant by that shout. Moreover, since I was so close to him, he had no time to dodge and could only reach out to grab the golden sphere.
At the moment the Flower Attacker caught the golden sphere, the golden mist suddenly vanished. The Flower Attacker looked momentarily stunned before loosening his grip; the golden sphere clattered to the ground and rolled to my feet.
Having been through this before, I naturally knew what the disappearance of the golden mist represented. Damn it, the Flower Attacker actually managed to break through the Blazing Barrier's Restriction. Firebird, oh Firebird, I never expected you to be so useless; what a waste of such an impressive name.
The Flower Attacker looked at me coldly and spat out a mouthful of blood with a sneer. Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, he said, "I didn't expect you had this up your sleeve? Heh heh, so what? I'm still standing here. Looks like I need to kill you first."
My scalp tingled; hearing such threatening words from someone else might not be so alarming, but coming from the Flower Attacker made it chilling. With his super strong martial skills combined with Grandmaster-level magic power, it seemed I had no way out except death.
Since death was inevitable anyway, I might as well struggle desperately. I bent down to pick up the golden sphere from the Blazing Barrier and took a few steps back. Since I could activate it once, perhaps I could activate it again. Without hesitation, I channeled energy from the Book of Life and Death to strike at the golden sphere once more.
The Flower Attacker seemed to sense my intentions; his expression changed as he flipped his palm over and shot a beam of golden light towards me. In that instant, I once again entered the space of the Blazing Barrier.
"Firebird! Firebird!" I shouted loudly.
"I'm really at a loss for how to thank you, Master. You've brought me back to life again. My gratitude is like the endless flow of a river..."
"Stop! Stop!" I quickly interrupted Firebird's chatter. "Are you sure you've been reactivated? Good, let's head out and do it again!"
"Master, that guy is not easy to deal with," Firebird said, sounding a bit downcast. "I'm afraid doing it again would be futile!"
"It will be useful; that guy is already spitting blood! Besides, what are you afraid of? Even if he breaks your Restriction and puts you to sleep, I can still reactivate you!" I said angrily. "Hurry up, don't slack off; the whole world is waiting for you to save them!"
"Alright, since you insist, let's do it a few more times!" Firebird reluctantly agreed and sent me out of the space.
As soon as my consciousness returned to the warehouse, a beam of golden light shot straight towards me. For a moment, I couldn't react in time. Damn, I might be done for.
At that moment, a figure rushed over and blocked the golden light with their body.
It was Kong Xuan; he used his body to shield me from the golden light. After being hit by it, Kong Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Damn!" I shouted angrily and dashed towards Flower Attacker.
