Living Funeral
Her complexion turned pale, and I quickly asked, "What’s wrong? What is it?"
Gao Qing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "Something's not right. I’m afraid something bad is going to happen."
Gao Ling asked, "What kind of bad thing? If something is going to happen, we should leave quickly."
Gao Qing replied to Gao Ling, "It's not that easy to leave. Look behind you."
Upon hearing Gao Qing's words, we hurriedly turned to look behind us, only to see a layer of faint white mist rising. Zhao Fan spoke up, "It’s foggy."
Gao Qing interjected, "That’s not fog; that’s Yin Sha energy."
No way, that’s Yin Sha energy, so much of it. I suddenly felt heavy-hearted, but I wasn’t as scared as before. Holding the Hundred Ghosts Diagram in my hand, I was tense to the point of almost losing my breath. The flashlight beam kept shining on a specific spot—the withered claw. At that moment, I wondered if the Nine Corpse was about to crawl out from the ground.
Gao Qing looked very pale. She had been here before but hadn’t gone inside; back then, she had come with her parents and hadn’t entered either. Was this time a reckless move?
At that moment, a corpse crawled out from the ground, revealing half of its body. The light shone on it, making it look exceptionally terrifying. Behind us, the Yin Sha energy spread thickly, while in front was the Nine Corpse Formation. We were truly in a dilemma; the situation was dire. I took a deep breath and said to Gao Qing, "How about we charge through? Those corpses haven’t crawled out yet."
Gao Qing looked at me as if I were foolish and said, "Anyone can take risks here, but Gao Ling cannot."
After Gao Qing spoke, both Gao Ling and I looked at her in surprise. She had always looked down on Gao Ling before; now she was saying this—it really caught us off guard.
However, Gao Ling wasn’t having it. "Who are you to tell me what to do? Gao Qing."
Gao Qing replied, "I may not care about other things you do, but this is something I must intervene in."
At that moment, I felt as if a stone was pressing down on my chest; it was suffocating me. Gao Qing continued, "The Nine Corpse Formation hasn’t been broken yet, which means it has been awakened. Chen Fei, I've already discussed the dangers with you before. Of course, I'm not blaming you because I decided to come here too."
Indeed, this time I led the way; if we were going to be guinea pigs, I had my share of responsibility.
Besides, I still had the Suppression of the Hundred Demons Diagram in my hand, so it shouldn’t be that terrifying. I was trying to muster courage for myself to get through this place.
After a moment of hesitation, I said, "I'll go first."
Gao Ling called out to me, "No, you can't take that risk," and Zhao Fan also urged me not to go.
However, if no one stepped forward, it was likely that everyone here would face an accident. I took a deep breath and quickened my pace towards the Nine Corpse Formation.
Once inside, I felt the pressure enveloping me, as if a sinister aura was wrapping around me.
At that moment, a corpse was almost crawling out from the ground. I sprinted forward but didn’t get far before I was tripped.
A withered claw grabbed my ankle. I pulled out my dagger and swung at it, but I couldn't sever the claw. In the end, I had no choice but to use the Hundred Ghosts Diagram, which made the hand disappear.
I got back up and continued to run, but again didn’t get far before both of my feet were grabbed by corpses. Damn it, my body fell straight to the ground.
Damn it, it hurt so much. I wanted to break free, but this time it wasn’t that simple; the corpse held onto my feet and dragged me as if trying to pull me in.
I had no chance to resist. Even though I had the Hundred Ghosts Diagram in hand, it was out of reach! I tried to get up, but it was difficult.
At that moment, Gao Ling shouted, "I'll help you."
But all I heard was Gao Ling's voice without seeing her come over.
I used every life-saving method I knew; first, I broke my fingertip and then held a mouthful of Tongue Blood. Damn it, let’s see if this works. If I survive this, then damn it, I'll surely have good fortune in the future.
As I thought this, my body was being dragged backward. My stomach scraped against the ground; it hurt like hell.
I cried out in pain as I was dragged to a stop. Then two withered hands pressed down on mine.
Now all four of my limbs were restrained; I felt almost completely incapacitated.
My heart raced in panic, but just then, a Peach Wood Sword suddenly fell down and pierced through one of the withered claws.
He only asked, "What are you doing here?"
With the help of the flashlight, I could see clearly that it was Zhang Xun, which truly surprised me. The hand with the withered claws had immediately retracted after being pierced.
At that moment, I had a mouthful of blood and couldn't speak. It seemed Zhang Xun understood, as he said to me, "Spit your blood onto my hand." He extended a slender, fair hand towards me. Without hesitation, I spat out some of my Tongue Blood onto his palm. Zhang Xun acted quickly, swiftly applying my Tongue Blood onto his Peach Wood Sword. Then, he moved rapidly to force those withered claws back.
Zhang Xun helped me up and said, "Don't you know this place is off-limits?"
I replied, "I have important matters to attend to; I had no choice but to come."
Zhang Xun looked at me for a moment and fell silent. I took a deep breath and asked him, "Can we still move forward?"
Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "We can't escape now. The corpses in this Nine Corpse Formation are centuries-old; they were deliberately placed here. Living people cannot enter. The only way in is to become a corpse yourself."
Hearing Zhang Xun's tone, I wondered if there was truly no other way. Just as I finished speaking, a sound of breaking earth echoed around us. Brown, withered corpses began to crawl out from the ground—nine corpses in total—surrounding both me and Zhang Xun.
These corpses had expressionless faces and looked terrifying.
In an instant, Zhang Xun's situation became precarious. He said to me, "Chen Fei, don't panic; we will be fine."
I nodded in response. I understood that at that moment, one of Zhang Xun's Peach Wood Swords was already stained red with my blood.
Zhang Xun instructed me, "Wait for me to tear open a gap; then you should escape through that opening."
I was speechless.
After saying that, I found myself at a loss for words. Last time on Coffin Street, when we encountered the Hundred Demons Carrying the Coffin, if it hadn't been for Zhang Xun blocking them for us, we would have been in serious trouble.
Did I really want Zhang Xun to do the same thing for me again? After some contemplation, I felt that I owed him too much already; this couldn't continue.
I said to Zhang Xun, "This time let's face it together!"
"Can you do it? You’ve come this far, Chen Fei," Zhang Xun said.
It wasn’t easy for me to reach this point. I replied to Zhang Xun, "No matter what happened in 198, whether it was Jiang Changsheng or me, or even Fatty Zhang, none of that matters now. I only know that you have saved my life many times."
As soon as I finished speaking, the Nine Corpses approached us, and Zhang Xun fell silent.
Thus, we began to face the Nine Corpses. However, after a brief exchange, both Zhang Xun and I were injured. I started to feel something was off; these corpses seemed impossible to kill, relentlessly entangling us.
My back was slashed with several bloody wounds, but when the corpses touched my blood, they emitted a strange sound.
"This isn’t going to work!" Zhang Xun exclaimed.
I knew that too, but there was no better solution. At this rate, they could very well drag us to our deaths.
The Nine Corpses surged forward again. Zhang Xun and I stood back to back, wielding the Suppression of the Hundred Demons Diagram. Zhang Xun held the Peach Wood Sword and suddenly said, "You know, I just remembered something."
"What did you remember?" I asked.
Zhang Xun replied that he recalled the past, remembering you and her death. Hearing this made me pause; I couldn’t find the words to respond.
At that moment, the Nine Corpses pressed in on us all at once, their sinister energy intensifying. Suddenly, Gao Qing shouted, "Chen Fei, look for the Yang Position!"
