Chen Hai, who was running all the way, soon reached the entrance. When he arrived, the monster was still madly squeezing in, trying to crush Lin Zhengying to death. However, the surrounding space seemed a bit narrow, which gave it some obstacles. In addition, Lin Zhengying continued to struggle. Because of this, Chen Hai did not arrive too late and the battle was not over yet.
"Master!" Chen Hai shouted, telling Lin Zhengying inside that he had arrived.
Whoosh, two golden rays of light shot out from the monster, and the gap opened by the golden light glued together again the next moment. Lin Zhengying's attack was still as effective as the first one, but the problem was still the same old problem, there was no time to accumulate power, and his damage speed could not exceed the opponent's recovery speed.
"Hu~" After taking a long breath, Chen Hai raised the pistol in his hand and aimed at the monster's head.
Bang, bang, bang, bullets fired continuously, hitting the opponent's head accurately and making several bloody holes. It didn't cause any damage, but it attracted the opponent's attention a little.
After the direction of the arm's growth changed slightly, Chen Hai knew that the other party had diverted some of his attention away from Lin Zhengying, so he opened the switch of the suitcase with his left hand, and then threw it hard at that place.
With a click, the suitcase fell to the ground, and an electromagnetic field burst out from the black box under the effect of special technology.
The monster's body paused, and a human-like shadow flashed in the middle of its body, as if the machine was stuck.
Lin Zhengying inside seized this fleeting opportunity. Under the urging of magic power, the peach wood sword slowed down and cut off all the arms that were still reaching out to him. At the same time, his right hand quickly drew the talisman patterns of palm thunder on the palm of his left hand, and magic power continued to pour into it.
A burst of golden light burst out in his palm, the spell was completed, Lin Zhengying moved instantly, and stuck in front of the monster. He opened his right hand and pressed hard on the target's stomach. This was the most suitable position for Lin Zhengying to attack without jumping.
With a bang, a large hole exploded on his stomach. Lin Zhengying reached out and grabbed the peach wood sword that was flying around his body. Without fear or hesitation, he stabbed it towards the healing wound, wildly enlarging the wound.
Under the severe pain, the monster's attacks became disordered and more violent, slapping Lin Zhengying on the body one slap after another. Lin Zhengying gritted his teeth, maintaining the protective shield on the surface of his body while continuing to attack. If he didn't kill the opponent directly with such a good opportunity now, he might never have another chance later.
Chen Hai outside had done what he could, and the bullets in his pistol were almost exhausted. At this moment, the light seemed to finally penetrate the thick wall of flesh, and a blood-stained figure jumped out from inside following the light.
After rolling onto the ground, he stood up next to Chen Hai.
"Master!" Chen Hai's voice was filled with joy. His efforts were not in vain.
Lin Zhengying stood up but did not respond to Chen Hai's call immediately. Instead, he held the peach wood sword upright in front of him, put his left index and middle fingers together, and pressed them on two-thirds of the sword. He stood straight, as if communicating with some mysterious existence.
Chen Hai looked at the monster nervously. The monster's head turned little by little, and it turned 180 degrees to look at them. The injuries on its body were recovering rapidly. Lin Zhengying had only been out of the hole for a few seconds, and the wound had already recovered by more than half.
Bang, bang! When the monster turned around, rocks from the surrounding walls kept falling and hitting its feet.
With two bangs, Chen Hai fired the last bullet in the gun.
With a click, the huge fangs, whether by luck or something, bit the fast-flying bullet directly. The damaged marks on the fangs caused by the impact force disappeared after a breath, and the bullet head was chewed several times and swallowed by the opponent.
At this moment, Lin Zhengying's accumulation of power was also completed, and a phantom in ancient costume appeared behind his body, the phantom was elegant and majestic at the same time.
Lightning flashes across thousands of miles as demons are slain, and a white dragon soars in the sky.
Lin Zhengying recited a poem that Chen Hai had never heard of. The peach wood sword in his hand flashed with lightning, and a slender white dragon shadow moved on the tip of the sword.
The person he invited was one of the Eight Immortals, the ancestor of all sword immortals in the world, Chunyangzi, Lu Dongbin!
The summoning spell was completed. Lin Zhengying opened his eyes and two rays of divine light shot out, like two nails, pinning the monster in front of him to the wall.
Lin Zhengying's figure moved forward with the Seven Star Bagua Steps. All of a sudden, seven shadows of Lin Zhengying doing different actions appeared in this small place at the same time. After the shadow stood still, a white dragon leaped out with the violent lightning, dividing the monster into eight pieces of different sizes.
The speed of the Taoist magic exceeded Chen Hai's observation ability. He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the originally ferocious opponent turned into a pile of corpses on the ground.
"Let's go." After Lin Zhengying cut the monster into pieces, he grabbed Chen Hai's hand and pulled him to move quickly in another direction.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
The sound of heartbeat came from nowhere and rang in Chen Hai's ears. Under the influence of this sound, his heartbeat seemed to keep up with the rhythm, and the pattern of beating began to change.
"Master! Is it not dead yet?" Chen Hai followed closely behind Lin Zhengying, covering his ears with both hands, hoping to reduce the sound of his heartbeat.
"It died, but something more troublesome survived."
After arriving at an empty room, Lin Zhengying answered quickly, then reached to his waist and a cinnabar pen fell into his hand.
He took a deep breath and bit his tongue. A mouthful of blood spurted out from the tip of his tongue and fell onto the cinnabar pen in his hand, making the tip of the pen shiny and moist.
Then Chen Hai watched Lin Zhengying draw blood-red talismans on the lintel of the main door of the room, in the middle of the surrounding walls, and other places. When the last stroke was made, the blood on the cinnabar pen had just run out, and the whole room made a sound of squeezing and collision.
"Give me the Taoist robe." Lin Zhengying threw the pen aside and said to Chen Hai.
"Okay." Chen Hai handed the tattered Taoist robe to Lin Zhengying.
Lin Zhengying was seen grabbing the collar of the Taoist robe with both hands, and waving it up and down with force. A stream of light flashed, and the Taoist robe was successfully repaired, becoming just like it was originally.
After the Taoist robe was repaired, Lin Zhengying did not wear it. Instead, he opened it completely and hung it on the lintel of the main door, letting it unfold on its own and serve as a door curtain at this location.
After taking a quick look at the surrounding arrangements, Lin Zhengying formed seals with his hands and muttered something. With a slight sigh, a glowing character shot out from Lin Zhengying's mouth and was directly printed on the door lintel.
After doing all this, Lin Zhengying's feet staggered and he fell to the ground.
Chen Hai was startled and rushed out quickly, serving as a cushion for Lin Zhengying.
"Chen Hai, I've almost figured it out. We are now in a formation that gathers evil spirits." Lin Zhengying said weakly, "The person who set up this formation is very ambitious. He messed up the time just to have enough food. He wants to raise an extremely terrifying ghost king!"
"Then Taoist priest, what should we do?" Chen Hai's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly.
"..."Lin Zhengying sighed and shook his head.
"Or you can rest here, and I will go and snatch those urns. As soon as twelve o'clock comes, I will destroy the urns. Those things are so important. If we destroy them, the formation should be broken!" Chen Hai said quickly.
"It's useless. Before the Ghost King takes shape, the time in this place will never reach twelve o'clock." Lin Zhengying was still shaking his head. "And after the Ghost King takes shape, this formation will have no meaning to exist. People in the formation will have no way to break it."
"You must have a way!" Chen Hai helped Lin Zhengying up. Based on his understanding of Lin Zhengying, he dared to say that his words should be correct. If it was a situation where death was inevitable, Lin Zhengying would never bring him to this place to wait for death. He would definitely go out and fight to the death.
"In a way, yes." Lin Zhengying gave the last few talismans to Chen Hai, "I want to take a gamble. Regardless of whether the gamble succeeds or not, I will not be able to move during this period of time."
"I have used my magic power to freeze this room. The enemy can only enter through the main door. The talisman in your hand can replenish the magic power of the Bagua Robe. If an enemy attacks, I can only rely on you."
"No problem!" Chen Hai took the talisman and accepted the task of protecting Lin Zhengying without saying a word. "I can be trusted. Taoist priest, just do whatever you want to do."
After receiving Chen Hai's response, Lin Zhengying sat cross-legged, concentrated his mind, and slowly entered his own inner world.
The layers of gauze left by Alice appeared in front of him. Lin Zhengying waved his hand gently, and the gauze was swept down like a spider web. This thing was defenseless to Lin Zhengying himself.
As the number of gauze meshes decreased, the world in front of Lin Zhengying became clearer and clearer, and soon he saw the materialized scene of his mind. Taking a step forward, he also came to the golden avenue.
The man in the middle of the road raised his head when Lin Zhengying arrived.
"You're here?"
"Well, let me try."
"fine."
After a brief conversation, the man exploded. The next second, Lin Zhengying found himself standing in that place, and the scene in front of him was changing rapidly.
Inside the unfinished building, Chen Hai listened to the increasingly noisy noises outside and felt very nervous. He turned his head to look at Lin Zhengying who was meditating with his eyes closed. He calmed himself and carefully observed the outside world to prevent Bagua Yi from being suddenly attacked, as he would not be able to replenish his energy in time due to his distraction.
Outside the room, at the two ends of the corridor, two Lin Zhengyings holding Qinggang swords faced the ghosts that kept moving towards them, smiled slightly, and their Taoist robes fluttered.
The rules on the fourth floor were not as restrictive as the ones below. They could sense a formation set up by another self in the middle of the corridor. Setting up such a formation in such a place showed that the other self was going to open his heart to face the choice and try to break through the restrictions of his rank.
Not to mention anything else, just for this courage and determination, they have to give themselves a hand.
Aren’t they just ghosts and evil people
When have I, Lin Zhengying, ever been afraid!
Under the flickering lights, the entire fourth floor seemed to be lit up. The two blockers stood firm, not taking a step back, because they were not sure whether the self in the room behind them was ahead of them or behind them on the timeline, so they must not cross that distance.
After a hard fight, the injuries on the blockers became more and more serious, and soon one of them had lost most of his attack and movement abilities. This was when the ghosts who had the hope of advancing to ghost kings were collecting urns and lives everywhere and did not come to besiege them.
Suddenly, the blocker who was almost unable to hold on felt his internal organs begin to twist, as if he had entered an area he should not have entered. At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
At the last moment, he disintegrated himself and exploded into a ball of light, which blew away the ghost in front of him and created a position similar to a firebreak.
Just when the defense line was about to fall, a peach wood sword flew over from the opposite corridor and stuck into the ground. Following the sword came a figure. The new blocker arrived. He pulled out the peach wood sword that was thrown over and swung his Taoist robe, blocking the way there again like a dam.
On the second and third floors, because the overall timeline continues to advance, more and more people here understand that the time where they are is distorted. No one is a fool. Even if there are some deviations in perception, there are more than one person in this building who understands this.
"Ji Jie, what's wrong?" Zheng Yimin asked Ji Jie who suddenly stopped in front of the stairs.
"I seem to feel it." The contaminated peach wood sword in Ji Jie's arms was vibrating slightly.
"What did you feel?" Zheng Yimin continued to ask.
"Someone up there needs it." Ji Jie looked down at the peach wood sword in her hand.
Zheng Yimin paused, "Then what are you waiting for? Send the things over."
Ji Jie looked at Zheng Yimin strangely, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident: Are you planning to die with me
"The only one who can make you feel this way is probably the Taoist priest. He needs this. What does it mean? It means the situation up there is very bad." Zheng Yimin pulled out his pistol and checked the bullets. "As for whether I will die or not, there are so many of me from other timelines in this place. If someone needs to be sacrificed, why can't it be me now?"
"No, I mean you want to go with me too?" Ji Jie asked with a smile.
"Nonsense, what if I don't go with you and you get entangled with a small character?" Zheng Yimin rolled his eyes and responded with a smile, "Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
"That makes sense. How about this? Let's add a stake. The person who goes out this time has to write a case file report on the person who didn't go out. How about that?" While Ji Jie was speaking, she started towards the fourth floor.
"Okay, how many times did you stay?"
"three times."
"Then you're at a loss. I kept it five times."
Bang, bang, bang. After reaching the fourth floor, the continuous sound of gunfire covered up the voices of the two people.
