Zhong Kui's Diary
Our group of ten was blocked at the door by Bip.
The only one who could harm him, Xiao Qingcheng, had lost four-fifths of her magical power and posed no threat to him. As for me, the effectiveness of Transforming Illusions into Reality depended entirely on the opponent's combat strength. It was clear that this Bip had astonishing combat abilities, and I was left with no choice but to take a beating.
Without the firepower support of a handgun, could we break out of this room? Looking at Bip's smug expression at the door, the possibility of making a break for it seemed extremely slim.
Bip didn't make a move, merely watching us with cold eyes and a sinister smile on his lips.
The atmosphere was deathly silent.
The first to lose patience was Fatty. With an angry shout, he charged forward and threw a punch at Bip's head. The force of the punch combined with Fatty's bulk created a whooshing sound as it sliced through the air.
I couldn't help but think that this punch might actually hurt him.
Bip watched Fatty's attack trajectory with an exaggerated sneer, not bothering to dodge. He waited until Fatty's fist was less than ten centimeters from his head before delivering a kick to Fatty's abdomen.
Bang!
Fatty was sent flying backward for four or five meters, crashing to the ground and nearly hitting the cabinet in the middle of the room.
"Fatty! Don't touch that cabinet!"
I saw Fatty struggling to get up, reaching out to use the cabinet for support. I quickly shouted at him. Fatty paused, withdrew his hand, and lost his balance, falling back down. After struggling a couple of times, he decided not to get up and lay there gasping for breath.
Another light reprimand sounded, and turning around, this time it was Aijia Yu and Brother Five who attacked together. Brother Five held a sharp iron spike, thrusting it directly towards Bip's heart, while Aijia Yu spread her fingers wide, aiming to claw at Bip's face. Aijia Yu's finger strength was comparable to that of a bullet.
Bip's expression grew slightly serious; he contracted his chest and grabbed Brother Five's wrist, pulling him forward. He then raised his right knee and struck Brother Five in the abdomen, sending him flying upwards, landing right in front of Aijia Yu's five fingers.
Aijia Yu let out a sharp cry and quickly retracted her fingers, but they still pierced through Brother Five's back, creating five holes from which blood immediately gushed out. This was only possible because Aijia Yu reacted swiftly; otherwise, Brother Five would have been pierced through.
Seeing Aijia Yu retreat, Bip chuckled darkly and casually threw Brother Five forward. Then he clapped both hands forcefully on Brother Five's chest. Brother Five spat out a mouthful of blood mid-air and crashed into Aijia Yu's arms. The impact caused Aijia Yu to also spit out a large mouthful of blood as the two of them tumbled together for three or four meters, unable to get up.
Damn it, it seems that humans and Demons are indeed not on the same level. For someone as formidable as Aijia Yu, she probably posed less of a threat to Bip than I did—of course, that was after I used Transforming Illusions into Reality.
"How about it? Do you two want to come at me again?" Bip turned to look at me and Xiao Qingcheng.
"Of course we do; we have to show some spirit," I nodded at Xiao Qingcheng and took a running leap forward. When I was still three meters away from Bip, I jumped into the air, spun around, and with the momentum and strength from my waist, delivered a powerful sweeping kick aimed at Bip's neck.
At the same time, Xiao Qingcheng stepped forward in coordination with me, thrusting her sword towards Bip's abdomen.
Bip's expression changed as he employed the same tactic again, grabbing my right foot in an attempt to use me as a weapon against Xiao Qingcheng's attack. I sneered; having learned from my previous mistake, as soon as he grabbed my ankle, I pulled my right leg back forcefully while kicking towards his chest with my left foot. At that moment, Xiao Qingcheng's wooden sword was already near his abdomen.
Weighing the pros and cons, Bip surprisingly did not dodge Xiao Qingcheng's wooden sword; instead, he placed one hand in front of his chest to block my kick aimed at him. It seemed he believed that Xiao Qingcheng’s wooden sword wouldn’t harm him after losing four-fifths of her magical power.
My foot struck his palm. Bip grinned strangely as he grabbed both of my feet with his hands and slammed me down to the ground. I was thrown off balance and coughed up a mouthful of blood. But that wasn't the end; Bip forcefully pulled my legs apart as if trying to tear me in half...
Not good; my life is in danger.
Fortunately, at that moment, Xiao Qingcheng’s wooden sword also pierced into Bip’s abdomen. Bip tensed up all over as the sword suddenly couldn’t go any deeper. Because of Xiao Qingcheng’s strike, most of Bip’s strength was diverted to countering her wooden sword, which prevented me from being torn apart. However, things were still dire; both of my legs were firmly held by him, and no matter how hard I struggled, it was futile.
Puff!
Xiao Qingcheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the wooden sword, which immediately flashed with a red light. With a muffled sound, the wooden sword actually pierced in another inch.
"Hehe! Bring it on!" Bip gritted his teeth and said.
Puff!
Xiao Qingcheng spat out another mouthful of blood, but this time the wooden sword could no longer penetrate even a fraction.
Feeling that Bip's grip on my foot had loosened, I suddenly brought my legs together and contracted my waist, flipping myself up. My right hand formed a knife shape and aimed directly at Bip's eyes. Bip let out a sinister laugh and directly tossed me aside. I instantly lost my balance and flew off to the side.
With another sinister laugh, Bip reached out mid-air, his arm extending several feet to grab my throat and lift me up.
I cursed inwardly; I quickly grabbed his fingers with both hands and tried to pry them apart.
"It's my turn now!" Bip tightened his grip, a surge of power coursing through me. My throat was in excruciating pain, followed by sudden suffocation. I opened my mouth wide and stuck out my tongue, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't draw in even a bit of air.
A Long and the others shouted and rushed over, but their combat power was completely ineffective against Bip. Bip didn't even dodge; A Long and the others' attacks felt like they were striking air.
It was a bizarre scene; A Long and the others were hitting him as if they were attacking an illusion, while this illusion tightened its grip on my throat more and more.
Motherfucker, I'm going to die. I'm going to be choked to death.
I watched as A Long and the others' figures became increasingly illusory, and the sounds in my ears grew fainter.
"Ping!"
Just as I was about to lose consciousness, a sound came from somewhere. Huh, what is that sound? Is my Adam's apple crushed?
With that sound, Xiao Qingcheng shouted angrily, and I vaguely saw a burst of red light in front of me, followed by Bip's shrill scream. The hand that was choking my throat also loosened.
I covered my throat with both hands and stumbled back two steps. A Long and another Black-clad Man helped me steady myself. Suddenly escaping death, I hadn't even processed what had happened when I grabbed A Long's arm tightly with one hand, afraid that this was all a dream, until A Long gritted his teeth and shook me off, bringing me back to my senses.
I really escaped death.
Looking up, I saw that the red light on Xiao Qingcheng's wooden sword was flickering and had already pierced through Bip's body.
"You... you..." Bip pointed a trembling finger at something behind me.
What’s going on? I turned around and saw Fatty standing innocently behind me, while the white Octagram above his head had fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces, along with a phone that was also smashed to bits.
Fatty actually used his phone to smash down that Octagram.
At the critical moment, Fatty managed to break the Restriction of this room.
Fatty, well done!
I almost teared up; if I weren't so unsteady on my feet right now, I would have rushed over to lift Fatty high into the air... and then dropped him on the ground. Motherfucker, why didn't you smash it earlier? Do you know I almost got choked to death?
"Ah..." A piercing scream came from behind me as Bip cried out.
Turning around again, I saw that Xiao Qingcheng had already stepped back, while Bip had been marked with a cross pattern from two strikes by Xiao Qingcheng. The wounds glowed faintly red, with White Star Radiance continuously emanating from them. As the white Starbursts increased, Bip's cries grew more and more mournful. Finally, with a 'pop', Bip's entire body transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.
Finally done!
I rubbed my neck, cleared my throat, and looked at Xiao Qingcheng, giving her a thumbs up and hoarsely saying, "At the critical moment, you really are impressive!"
A Long and the others, seeing that I was fine, went over to help Aijia Yu and Brother Five. Although Aijia Yu and Brother Five were unsteady on their feet, they were still alive.
Being alive is truly wonderful.
Xiao Qingcheng took several deep breaths and smiled at me, saying, "Alright, it's all over."
Cui Gu Yi glanced around and checked the time. "It's now five-thirty. The cleaners from Golden Blade Company will come to clean the office at seven-thirty. This means that Li Feidao will receive the news around eight o'clock. We just need to retreat before eight; we have enough time. A Long, you four should help Brother Five and Aijia Yu out first."
A Long agreed, and the four of them supported Aijia Yu and Brother Five as they staggered out of the room.
Clearing my throat loudly, I walked straight to the cabinet and pulled open the file drawer.
The file drawer was divided into three tiers, each containing about twenty thin booklets. Just as Cui Gu Yi had mentioned earlier, each booklet had at most ten pages. I pulled all of them out in one go, causing them to scatter all over the floor.
"Take all of them; not a single one left behind!" Cui Gu Yi said boldly to me.
I felt a surge of annoyance inside—who does she think she is to talk to me like that? I rolled my eyes in response and pretended not to hear her.
Cui Gu Yi was taken aback for a moment, her brows furrowing as she was about to get angry. Xiao Qingcheng quickly tugged at her sleeve and said to me, "Zheng Nan, can we two girls carry so many books?"
Hearing Xiao Qingcheng say that, I snorted, "Aren't you just trying to destroy the evidence? What's the big deal? I have a lighter; we can just burn it all."
Cui Gu Yi became anxious upon hearing this: "We can't burn it!"
I looked at Cui Gu Yi in surprise. "Why can't we burn it? Do you want to keep this evidence for the world to see?"
Cui Gu Yi was at a loss for words, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. My mind raced with suspicion. Could there be some other hidden agenda? Suddenly, a thought struck me, and I frowned in disdain. "Are you planning to use this evidence to threaten other families?"
As soon as I said this, Cui Gu Yi actually blushed a little. "We can use this as leverage to protect our family, and it can also unite everyone against a common enemy..."
"Forget it, you just want to use this to blackmail other families!" I scoffed and scolded without mercy. "What you're doing is no different from those Li Feidao. In fact, you're even worse than them; at least they acted for the greater good of the country. If this falls into your hands, it will likely become your family's selfish desire."
Cui Gu Yi fell silent for a moment before saying, "This is what my grandfather specifically instructed me to do. How could I not listen?"
Xiao Qingcheng walked over and glanced at the books on the ground, smiling brightly. "Stop getting hung up on this; these books can't be burned. They can only be taken away."
