Luo Yujing hugged Kusheng with her uninjured arm and found that his clothes were all torn. After feeling around, she found tiny gnaw wounds on his skin. When Kusheng put her hand on his shoulder, he saw bright red blood on her sleeve.
Luo Yujing: "How did you get bitten by a ghost like this?"
Kusheng: "Where else are you injured?"
The two asked at the same time.
And answered at the same time:
Kusheng: “Don’t worry about it.”
Luo Yujing: "Only the arm was injured."
After a pause, they both said at the same time:
Luo Yujing: "What do you mean don't worry about it? It's obviously very serious!"
Kusheng: "The bleeding won't stop. You need to bandage it to stop the bleeding."
They talked a few words in a mess and bumped into each other. It was hard to hear what the other person said. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Damn it!"
These two hateful sentences are the ones I hear most clearly.
Before they could continue their conversation, the evil spirits had already rushed over again. Luo Yujing covered her bleeding arm and took out a yellow talisman from her sleeve and threw it out: "Why are there still so many evil spirits!"
This talisman cannot be used against humans, but it is somewhat useful against evil spirits. At least it can slow down their attacks.
However, when she swung her arm, blood spurted out. Kusheng's brows twitched when he saw it. He forcibly pulled her hand back and drew a hemostatic talisman for her.
The situation was tense, so he could only deal with it briefly. Luo Yujing was so anxious in his arms that she almost cursed: "Stop drawing, the evil spirit is biting you!"
Kusheng said: "I won't die if I get bitten by a ghost, but you will die if you continue to bleed!"
Having said that, when he saw the evil spirit attacking Luo Yujing, he stopped drawing the talisman and killed the evil spirit first. Luo Yujing is not the same as before. Her resentment has faded, just like an ordinary person, and she can't withstand the attack of the evil spirit.
Luo Yujing was furious: "Being a real person... it's really troublesome!"
She thought to herself that it would be better to switch back to the beginning, when she was most resentful and would not be so afraid of evil spirits.
Seeing that Kusheng still had to treat her wound first, Luo Yujing called out, "Zhu Xie Sword, come!"
The Sword of Extermination fell into her intact hand, and she spun it around, using it to drive away the evil spirits that were circling around Kusheng and biting him.
But she could use the sword to temporarily deal with the evil spirits, but she couldn't deal with the Zhong clan members who were possessed by the evil spirits. These people were just possessed, not dead yet, and they were limited when using the sword.
Kusheng finally treated her wound, took the Zhuxie Sword, picked her up and kicked those people out, saying to her: "Don't move your hand, otherwise you won't be able to stop the bleeding!"
Although she spoke loudly, her face was pale, her body was cold, and she didn't even have the strength to wield the Sword of Evil-Slaying.
The place was filled with resentment and hostility, and was as cold as an ice cellar. If anyone entered here and was entangled by the resentment, they would probably get sick if they left, not to mention that she was in such a low state.
They couldn't stay here any longer... However, he was entangled by the evil spirits and couldn't escape. Compared with ordinary people, these evil spirits wanted to devour him more. Even if he found a way to escape now, these evil spirits would continue to chase him. Unless he eliminated these evil spirits, they would not stop.
At this time, the Zhong clan members above came down to the well one after another. They were unaware of the seriousness of the situation and only wanted to catch the "evil spirit" that offended the clan god.
A dozen more people came down. They could not see the well was full of evil spirits, but only saw their own tribesmen fighting with Kusheng. There were also several tribesmen lying nearby with their hearts dug out. They mistakenly thought that it was the work of this "evil Taoist" and became even more angry.
The hostility in this place aroused the vicious and malicious side in their hearts, and they rushed towards Ku Sheng and the other two without hesitation.
The word "Chi" that fixed the head on the neck was about to fall, the person in the arms was breathing heavily and his breath was getting weaker, there were endless evil spirits around him, and there were people who kept destroying the seal...
Kusheng stopped and pinched the finger sleeves on his hands.
The iron-looking finger gloves were fixed on his ten fingers. He tore them off with all his strength.
Luo Yujing saw him throw the gloves aside, revealing the bloody fingers underneath. She was shocked and tried to hold his fingers, but he avoided her.
“Don’t touch.” Kusheng stretched out his fingers. His hands were long and thin, and seemed slightly larger than those of ordinary people. The joints were distinct, and the blood on them had not yet dried, revealing dark purple nails. The nails were growing and becoming sharper visibly with the naked eye, and were full of evil spirits.
He always said that he was a zombie, but Luo Yujing never felt anything. But now that she saw the true appearance of his hands, she felt a little more realistic.
Such a pair of hands fiercely stabbed into the chest of a corpse lying on the ground. The corpse quickly became stiff and cold, the skin turned black and blue, and it sat up from the ground, turning into a zombie!
After doing this repeatedly, all the fresh corpses on the ground turned into zombies.
Luo Yujing then understood why he didn't let her touch his hand just now. With such a powerful hand, she would be turned into a corpse if she touched it.
He was like a plant that suddenly grew poisonous thorns, and he no longer used strength when holding her.
Kusheng pulled his hand out of the corpse's chest: "Go!"
Dozens of corpses that turned into zombies faced off against those people who had lost their minds due to evil spirits. The two sides fought fiercely, temporarily relieving the pressure on this side.
He put Luo Yujing down and made her sit in front of the shrine, then stood in front of it. Kusheng picked up the sword again and killed the evil spirit.
Luo Yujing held the talisman in her hands, occasionally using it to disperse the evil spirits that came through the gaps and beat them back. At the same time, she kept an eye on Kusheng and discovered that his sword-holding posture was a little strange, and his sword-swinging movements were a little slower than usual.
She held back at first, but when she saw smoke coming out of his hand, she couldn't help but guess, "Your hand... Did you remove the seal on your hand? Is the Sword of Extermination rejecting you?!"
The Sword of the Evil Slayer was originally a spiritual sword that could defeat all evil spirits in the world. When Ku Sheng was sealed with his evil spirit, he used the Sword of the Evil Slayer, but he was quite repulsive to it. Now that the seal on his hand was broken, the Sword of the Evil Slayer could no longer stay in his hand peacefully.
After realizing this, Luo Yujing was so angry that she almost forgot the pain in her body. She wished she could immediately get up and grab the sword to kill all the evil spirits for him.
Seeing her irritable look, Kusheng was a little afraid that she would rush over. He turned around and saw the empty shrine, so he pushed her in and said, "Hide in there for a while, don't come out!"
Pushing Luo Yujing into the shrine, Kusheng staggered. The zombies he created killed those people possessed by evil spirits, but the seal on him was not removed, so he suffered backlash.
However, there were no living people down there now. Except for the evil spirits, there were only zombies he created. More than 20 zombies fought with the evil spirits and captured and dispersed them.
Although the Sword of Extermination had some backlash in his hands, he could now tear apart evil spirits with his bare hands, and the situation had improved a lot.
Luo Yujing was pushed into the shrine, which was dark and small, only about one meter high. She knelt at the door and felt her wound bleeding again, so she quickly covered it with her hand.
She knew that it would be better for her to stay here so as not to distract Ku Sheng, so she just cursed "damn it" under her breath and looked at Ku Sheng outside through the gap with worry.
Behind her, on the altar dedicated to the clan god, a shadow emerged from a small bell. This evil ghost was a member of the Zhong clan. Because she committed a serious crime, she was thrown here and killed. She became the first person to become an evil ghost. Miraculously, she retained some of her sanity. She was very fierce and cunning. She hid in the spirit bell of the shrine to conceal her breath. Even Kusheng had not discovered her.
Attracted by the strong smell of blood on Luo Yujing's body, the evil spirit pounced towards her and wanted to dig out her heart and eat it, but he noticed that her body seemed to be somewhat special and had another kind of attraction to her.
Kusheng was killing evil spirits. With the help of those zombies, the number of evil spirits decreased sharply and he killed them faster and faster.
Suddenly, a burst of violent energy erupted from behind him. Behind him was only the shrine and Luo Yujing inside it. He turned around suddenly and saw that the shrine door was smashed open. The figure in white clothes was struggling to grab the shrine railing and looked up at him.
The face was distorted and half of it was surrounded by black air.
"Ah!" she screamed.
The evil ghost was snatching her body and devouring her soul.
"Evil ghost, retreat!" Ku Sheng shouted, and hurried forward to throw the talisman paper on her. But his talisman paper had no effect on her, just like when she was full of evil ghost's resentment at the beginning, his talisman paper had no effect on her.
This body is Luo Yujing's amulet, and now it also becomes the amulet of the evil ghost.
"Hehe, hehe!" The evil spirit that seized Luo Yujing's body used her body to make a giggling sound. Luo Yujing had very little resentment left, and she was no match for her. She devoured her soul, and she struggled and screamed in pain.
Kusheng held her down, more anxious than ever before. He could have killed the evil spirit, but now the evil spirit was entangled with Luo Yujing's soul. If he killed her, he would kill Luo Yujing as well.
He had long known that this was not Luo Yujing's own body, but he had not expected such a dilemma to arise today.
In a flash, the black energy on Luo Yujing's body became thicker. Kusheng was still frowning, not knowing what to do. Luo Yujing struggled to get up, grabbed the Zhuxie Sword beside him, and used the sword to pierce his body.
She still had the fierce side of a ghost. Before Kusheng made a decision, she had already taken action. She would rather die under the sword than have her soul devoured by a ghost and then have her body occupied.
This sword caused great damage to the evil ghost. Ku Sheng quickly grasped the sword in one hand and chanted a spell, tearing the evil ghost out of Luo Yujing's body.
The evil ghost that was torn out still refused to give up and tried to drill into Luo Yujing's body. Seeing this, Kusheng stabbed her with the Zhuxie Sword and used his blood as a talisman to hit her body. The evil ghost immediately burned like oil encountering fire.
Luo Yujing leaned against the shrine with her face as pale as paper, and the wound on her abdomen kept bleeding. Kusheng reached out to draw a hemostatic talisman for her, but when he saw his own sharp dark purple nails, he put it down again and searched for the yellow hemostatic talisman he had prepared earlier and stuck it on her lower abdomen.
But this talisman could only stop the bleeding temporarily and could not heal the wounds in her body.
The zombies were blocking the evil ghost. Kusheng took a look at this place and felt anxious. He wanted to send Luo Yujing out to find someone to treat him.
"Life is hard..."
Hearing her call, Kusheng leaned over to pick her up: "It's okay, we can go out soon."
Luo Yujing grabbed his arm, her eyes a little distracted: "I..."
Ku Sheng stopped moving. He saw that Luo Yujing's body was like a broken jade bottle, with the water inside overflowing.
—Some of her soul had been devoured by the evil spirit and was now dispersing and escaping from her body.
Not only would she die, she would even have her soul torn apart, just like the fate of those evil spirits... But she had clearly tried so hard to dissipate her resentment, yet she still had to end up like this.
Luo Yujing looked into his eyes and seemed to realize something. Her expression was like the calm trance she felt after inhaling the soul-soothing incense.
She said: "I... wanted to die very much at one point, but why, every time, I felt... regret before I died."
"I don't want to... die."
—I don’t want to die.
Ku Sheng knelt on one knee beside her and heard her say this.
He suddenly pressed the iron cover on his lips with one hand, paused, and then pulled it open with force, revealing his lips that were also sewn with red thread. The red thread used as a seal was torn off by his sharp nails, and blood oozes out.
With his mouth full of blood, he embraced Luo Yujing and brushed away the hair on her neck. The ferocious fangs that grew out of his mouth, mixed with his blood, pierced deeply into her neck.
