Chapter 17

By then, Feng Yingjun had crept up beside Pi Gui, raising a shovel she had picked up from who knew where. “You old bastard, today I’ll clean house for Maoshan!”

Before Feng Yingjun could bring the shovel down, someone suddenly grabbed her from behind!

The shovel was snatched out of her hands. The attacker lowered his head, bit into Feng Yingjun’s neck, and ripped out a chunk of flesh!

“Luo Gui!” I roared in fury.

Luo Gui’s eyes were bloodshot. He grinned wildly and hurled the shovel at me.

I dodged to the side. He kept Feng Yingjun locked in his grip, and blood sprayed from the wound on her neck.

The yin energy in the cave seemed to grow even stronger.

Under Luo Gui’s protection, Pi Gui retreated with him toward the cave entrance.

Just then, Luo Hong, who was lying on the ground, grabbed Luo Gui. “Don’t leave me behind. Take me with you.”

Luo Gui looked down at Luo Hong and said, word by word, “You betrayed me, traitor!”

Then Luo Gui stomped down hard on Luo Hong’s head!

Once. Twice.

Something burst open, scattering red and white across the ground.

I seized the chance and charged at Luo Gui, but someone was even faster than me.

“Pi Gui, I’ll kill you!”

Li Lun raised his knife and stabbed at Pi Gui. Luo Gui tried to help Pi Gui, but I punched him right in the face!

I pulled Feng Yingjun away and pinned Luo Gui to the ground.

Pi Gui was dragged by Li Lun toward the pool full of starving fish.

By now, almost all of Li Lun’s and Pi Gui’s men were lying on the ground, unable to move.

Pi Gui wailed and screamed Luo Gui’s name. “Save me! Hurry, save me! Didn’t you want a new body? I can give you one. I’ll give you everything!”

Luo Gui shouted and tried to struggle up, but I slammed another punch into his face.

Behind me, there was a splash as Li Lun threw Pi Gui into the pool. The surface of the water instantly began to churn.

At that moment, Luo Gui somehow found a burst of strength and actually broke free from my hold, lunging toward the pool.

I was about to go after him, but in the last bit of firelight, I saw black smoke starting to pour out of several stone chambers behind the pool.

That black smoke was far denser than what had been on Li Xiong.

The temperature in the entire cave seemed to drop by several degrees.

“Something’s wrong. There’s definitely something real at the bottom of this cave!”

Feng Yingjun helped Lili up. “Run, Big Brother! We definitely can’t beat this thing!”

I hoisted Lili onto my back, grabbed Feng Yingjun, and ran out of the cave.

Anyone who could still move was desperately fleeing for their life.

The three of us ended up at the very back.

The cave had been dug in a hurry back then, and there were no proper steps at all.

Going down had been easy, but climbing up was exhausting.

Feng Yingjun was injured, and I was carrying Lili on my back.

The black smoke at the bottom of the cave kept rising, getting closer and closer.

At last, we reached the final steep slope.

Blood was still flowing from Feng Yingjun’s neck, and her arms were trembling. She couldn’t climb anymore.

“Wait for me. I’ll go up first.”

Carrying Lili, I climbed up the steep slope first. Then I put Lili down and turned back to pull Yingjun up.

With my help, Yingjun had climbed halfway when someone suddenly grabbed her leg.

A hideous face gradually emerged from the pitch-black smoke.

Luo Gui still wasn’t dead!
