This is Mrs. Book!
Her cheeks were quivering continuously, and with a soft pop, another steel needle shot out from her lips.
A sudden sharp pain shot through my knee.
I didn't have time to react and thumped to the ground halfway kneeling.
My breathing was heavy, my eyes wide, and with my uninjured right hand clenched into a fist, I slammed it down onto the ground, aiming at the jade tile!
Two successive shattering sounds shot towards me!
The wrist of my right hand, and the other knee, were struck by a similarly severe pain.
I felt like I was being engulfed by everything.
This pain feels eerily similar to the pain Sun Dashai inflicted upon me.
My body was constrained as if I had been struck at an acupuncture point, making it difficult to move.
Those in the lower nine were only about ten meters away from me, completely surrounding me!
Maru was the first to lead the charge, showing a sickly excitement as he revealed only his nose and eyes.
It's too late to break the jade tiles.
The only things left in my heart were dissatisfaction and regret.
It should have been a finger, everyone knows that the Night Yin Jade Tile of the City God is a treasure, and they will certainly be terrified.
Using my finger, Mrs. Book shouldn't have acted so quickly.
I felt like I was falling into an ice cave, landing in the hands of the City God, and there was no good ending for me. It wouldn't be that easy to escape……
Mr. Yang is too cunning!
But now, I can only submit helplessly...
Just at this moment, an odd scene unfolded.
Dense white fog appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire third sub-level of the City God Hall.
In the cold and silent atmosphere, there was also a hint of gentleness.
My vision was greatly interfered with.
Someone was screaming in terror: "The ghost mist is very thick! There is an old ghost inside!"
"Seize Luo Xian God! It must be him causing trouble!" the head steward's loud and fierce voice echoed.
Everything happened so quickly, just in a moment.
The fog in front of me was broken by a gush.
Maru, blood oozing from his mouth, rushed to my face. It was evident that he had used the Yang poison blood on his tongue.
He raised a copper coin sword, the edge of which wasn't open yet. However, copper coin swords are used for beating corpses, and human bones have no hardness compared to a copper coin sword.
Following that, he swung his copper coin sword forcefully towards my lower abdomen!
This wasn't enough to kill me, but it was enough to cripple my Dan Tian and make me a useless person!
"You know my weak spot, so you must also know the art of controlling the dead!" Maru roared excitedly.
My forehead was drenched in sweat, but I couldn't avoid it.
Next,
A figure stepped out from my side.
The legs were creamy and evenly proportioned, and the back was almost perfect without a single blemish.
The lotus arm raised, perfectly landing on Maru's cheek.
Maru's eyes suddenly widened as if he hadn't realized there was a third person present.
Maru's eyes showed even greater fear because the third person had no head.
The copper coin sword seemed to change its position, but it was too late.
The hand of the headless woman was pulled off.
It was very easy, like pulling up a carrot in soft mud.
Maru's head and body had already been separated.
A smooth wound, as if cut open by the sharpest blade.
The lower half of Maru's mask was twisted abnormally.
A wailing cry erupted from his mouth.
It only lasted for half a second before returning to quietness, his eyes were lifeless and ashen.
Humans have a reaction time to death.
The headless woman was too fast, causing Maru's head to fall off before he could react and scream in terror.
Maru's body fell heavily to the ground with a clang.
This process may have only taken two or three seconds.
There seemed to be a dividing line in the fog, with one part surrounding me and the headless woman, which allowed us to see.
The other part enveloped the rear, obstructing our vision.
The next person emerged from that fog.
He held a beheading sword high in his hand, with a ferocious expression on his face.
That ferocious expression disappeared instantly, turning into fear.
The headless woman effortlessly threw her arms, and Maru's head crashed into his own.
"Bloody Vengeful Ghost!" he stammered, his legs trembling as he took a more unsteady step backward.
The headless woman walked lightly, stepping into the fog.
No one charged forward.
I only heard a continuous stream of screams of terror, with the most frequent word being "run."
Sweat droplets ran down my face.
The heart that was originally sinking up quickly wanted to jump out of my throat.
Because I always thought that since the headless woman had walked away in shoes, she wouldn't come back.
I didn't expect... she's back again...
I gritted my teeth and managed to pull out the steel needle from my left wrist artery with my right hand.
Following that, I pulled out the needles from both knees with my right hand.
Although the pain of the needle wounds was excruciating and piercing to my heart, the injuries were not severe. Except for the pain, I regained my basic ability to move, picked up the jade tile, and aimed it at the second ghost.
Maru's body lay on the ground at an awkward angle.
Blood from his neck flowed across the ground, soaking his own body.
I forced open his hand, took the copper coin sword, and then used it to open the door lock next to the staircase.
I yanked the steel door open violently, and the creaking sounds made goosebumps appear all over my body.
The blackened corridor, with its edge kick line, was marked with green survival channel signs.
The screams in the hall echoed one after another.
I didn't know how the headless woman would stop.
My heart was cold.
I have no mercy for them.
I pitied them, who pitied me?
I almost fell into the hands of the City God, and I would have been at his mercy.
I stepped into the corridor, and the voice-controlled light turned on. I walked up quickly.
The environment was actually quite claustrophobic, and I constantly felt like someone might suddenly emerge from the other side of the stairs.
A minute or two seemed incredibly long.
I emerged from the ground floor, passed through the underground parking garage, exited the community, and reached the roadside.
My palm was stained with a lot of Maru's blood, but fortunately, my clothes were not.
I cleaned the blood off the greenway by the roadside, and I stuck the copper coin sword haphazardly into the grass.
I took two more pieces of paper and wiped away the bloodstains caused by the two guards' shock on my nose and mouth.
That was quite a narrow escape.
Thank goodness I made it out safely.
I was relieved, but I couldn't help feeling that I had lost the gong, weighing heavily on my heart.
A taxi approached, its green plate indicating it was driverless.
I hailed a taxi and climbed in, asking the driver to take the lead.
Then I dialed down's phone number.
A beep, and the phone connected.
"Hello?" HuanYing's voice was slightly nervous: "Are you okay? Are you at a safe place? How fast?"
HuanYing asked three questions in succession.
"I'm fine, just got out of the City God Hall, got into a taxi, give me an address, I don't have many places to go in Jinyang City," I replied.
HuanYing was silent for a second before telling me an address.
I relayed the address to the driver.
It was late at night, the road was quiet with no cars, and it still took more than half an hour to reach the destination.
Here is a bustling commercial street.
Unlike the commercial street in Gucheng that Xie's home is located on, this place is more new-fashioned.
The large shopping mall's three-story billboard light boxes almost lit up half of the street.
Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong.
Several cold and creepy gazes, as if staring at me.
I looked in the direction of those gazes, but saw nothing at all.
However, I'm sure that I have been noticed.
It was right for HuanYing not to let me go home.
There were no fewer than five people keeping an eye on me.
They were doing their jobs diligently, but they didn't seem to know about the current situation in the City God Hall.
I stood quietly by the side of the road waiting.
After about ten minutes, a white sports car stopped beside me.
HuanYing quickly got out of the car, gave it a quick glance, furrowed her eyebrows, and then turned to look at me.
"Good, you haven't..."
HuanYing cut off abruptly, looking slightly surprised, "Blood smell?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Something is wrong with them." I replied.
