"Fuck!"
Xu Cheng blurted out in shock.
Standing behind him was a person who looked exactly like him.
The same appearance, the same Vulcan posture, and the whole body is surrounded by bright fire clouds.
Without giving Xu Cheng a chance to react, the impostor who suddenly appeared opened his mouth and spit out a thick flame from his mouth.
Xu Cheng condensed a flaming blade with one hand and knocked away the pillar of fire.
In the scattered flames, the counterfeit turned into a beam of fire and rushed straight towards him with a long tail flame.
Xu Cheng was about to parry when the manager's beep sounded suddenly.
【mission failed】
Time was suddenly suspended.
If Bunyasu Arakawa hadn't followed, Ayase Aragaki or Yoshimizu Yasushi would have died.
Xu Cheng immediately chose to watch the replay, wanting to see how the impostor appeared.
It's a pity that you can only see Xu Cheng's own perspective when watching the replay. He didn't notice what happened behind him, so you can't see what happened behind him when watching the replay.
In desperation, Xu Cheng could only choose to reopen.
Time flew backwards, being pulled into countless slender strips of light.
When Xu Cheng's vision recovered, he found that he, Akimiya Yue and Hoshizaki Yukina were hiding in the darkness. Deep in the cave, the two killers were smearing the stone door with blood. There was only a small area left to completely defeat them.
Last week, he already knew that there were a lot of ghosts hidden inside the stone gate. Xu Cheng did not dare to delay any longer and grabbed the hands of Qiu Gongyue and Hoshizaki Yukina respectively.
"Get in!"
Hoshizaki Yukina didn't know why Xu Cheng suddenly chose to act, but without asking any questions, he immediately used his teleportation ability and entered the depths of the cave.
brush!
The three of them suddenly appeared between Arakawa Buntasu, Aragaki Ayase, and Yashimi Yoshizu.
Arakawa Buntai's attention was all on the stone door. He suddenly heard movement from behind and turned around suddenly.
A sharp and sharp blade was reflected in his eyes.
Akimiya Yue had already drawn the sword out of its sheath, and struck Arakawa Buntaishi's face with the sword.
This sneak attack on the old man came so fast and hard that Arakawa Buntai could hardly dodge and watched helplessly as the blade slashed towards his face.
The sharp katana swept across Arakawa Buntais face, but Akimiya Yue's hands did not feel the vibration of the actual object struck.
Arakawa Buntai's body gradually transformed into a lake, but he himself appeared in front of the stone door like a teleport, avoiding Akimiya Yue's attack.
Qiu Gongyue couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She had a premonition that this attack would hit, but it was actually dodged.
And why is Arakawa Buntai's way of evading so similar to her Shadow Raid?
"You've grown a lot, Xinyue."
Arakawa Buntais was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. His hand was almost attacked by Akimiya Yue, but he used the skill of pressing the bottom of the box to avoid the attack.
What surprised him even more was that Qiu Gongyue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, actually learned the fourth-level breathing method, which made him almost unable to react.
A few months ago, she was still stuck on the second level, unable to move. In just a few months, she had made such great progress, which was not much better than her grandfather.
And is all this due to this young man?
Arakawa Buntai's eyes fell on Xu Cheng, and when his eyes met, he felt his heart skip a beat and felt waves of unspeakable pressure.
This made him both shocked and angry. He had always put pressure on others. When did he feel pressure when facing a junior?
Xu Cheng raised his head and his eyes fell on the two killers who were still smearing blood on the stone gate: "Xinyue, stop them."
Qiu Gongyue's eyes narrowed, and an invisible wave instantly spread throughout the cave.
Arakawa Buntai's expression changed: "A wave of murderous intent?"
Isn't this a skill that can only be learned by the fifth-level breathing method?
On the stone gate, the two killers turned their eyes white and fell down directly. Qiu Gongyue's murderous intention wavered without distinction between friend and foe, and the rest of the people in the cave also suffered the attack.
Seeing the savior appear, Aragaki Ayase originally cried with joy, but was stunned by Akimiya Yue, including the two old men of the Yashiki family.
On the contrary, Basi Jishui, who looked stupid, didn't feel much.
"Don't use this trick randomly...ah~~~~"
Hoshizaki Yukina, whose legs were clamped, let out a scream, her voice was greasy and charming.
Qiu Gongyue's head was covered with black lines and she glared at her fiercely.
The originally serious atmosphere was changed by her feverish scream.
When the wave of murderous intent ended, the panting Hoshizaki Yukina hurriedly grabbed Aragaki Ayase and Yashimi Yashimi and teleported away with them to avoid the embarrassment of staying.
"You said you can learn the fluctuation of murderous intent by using the breathing method at the fifth level?" Xu Cheng asked Arakawa Buntai curiously.
During this period, he has been trying to learn from Qiu Gongyue about Shadow Raid and Murderous Intention Fluctuation. The former still has some ideas, but the latter is totally unclear. Qiu Gongyue herself doesn't understand what's going on.
I originally thought this was her innate ability, but I didn't expect that Arakawa Buntai actually knew her.
"That's right, although I don't know how you learned it, Xinyue." Arakawa Buntai looked amazed, "But as far as I know, the murderous intention wave is a skill that can only be learned by the fifth-level breathing method."
He had calmed down and was quickly thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
"We're not here to chat with you."
Akimiya Yue held the knife in both hands, pointed at Arakawa Buntaishi, with cold eyes, and asked: "Why did you betray us to the Countermeasures Department?"
The Countermeasures Department originally set up a trap to ambush Xu Cheng and Akimiya Yue. Without the cooperation of Arakawa Buntais, the plan would not have been so easy to succeed.
And his subsequent defection also confirmed this.
A look of helplessness appeared on Arakawa Buntai's hard face: "It's a long story..."
Xu Cheng interrupted him: "Then let's make the story short."
Arakawa Buntais was not unhappy about being interrupted, but instead showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
As an experienced killer, he knows exactly what countermeasures to take against any enemy.
These two young men are extremely talented and powerful. If they fight with them, both sides will suffer losses, and they may even become angry on the spot.
The most correct approach is to avoid fighting and use verbal confrontation instead.
As long as he drags them into the rhythm of his conversation, Arakawa Buntais is confident enough to convince the two to not use force for the time being.
"The reason why I cooperate with the Countermeasures Department..."
Just as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the entire cave.
Akimiya Yue and Arakawa Buntai just felt something strange, but Xu Cheng's expression changed. After a week of experience, he knew that this was a sign that the evil ghost in the stone gate had awakened.
But there is still a small area on the stone door that is not smeared with blood. Will this also cause the evil ghost to wake up?
This cold wind made people very uncomfortable, and Arakawa Buntai subconsciously took out the cross pendant in his arms.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, his heart suddenly felt cold. Xu Cheng had already hit him with a palm from the air.
Break the air!
His speed was not what it used to be, and Arakawa Buntai had no time to react.
Peng!
With a sound of flesh and blood exploding, Arakawa Buntais' shoulder was blown open by the force of the air. Amidst the splatters of blood and flesh, the arm holding the cross pendant spun and flew out.
"ah!
"
Arakawa Buntais, with half of his shoulders missing, let out a miserable cry of pain, staggered back a few steps, and leaned his back against the stone door.
He stared at Xu Cheng with a ferocious face, and his heart was filled with shock and anger: "Are you going to kill me?"
Didn’t you agree to talk first?
Why did you suddenly attack an old man like me?
Moreover, Xu Cheng's blow made Arakawa Buntai scared. The separation of Gangqi from the body is a characteristic of the fifth-level breathing method.
"Sorry, my hand slipped."
Xu Cheng apologized without sincerity. If he really wanted to kill Arakawa Buntai, he would just hit him on the head instead of aiming for the shoulder.
The task requires asking him for his true purpose.
Xu Cheng subconsciously rushed over to subdue him, but suddenly a large number of bloody hands appeared from the stone door and grabbed Arakawa Buntai's body.
There was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he opened his eyes and shouted: "Save me..."
Before he finished speaking, he was instantly dragged into blood.
Xu Cheng had already rushed to the stone door, and his outstretched hand missed Arakawa Buntai's body by just one centimeter and he failed to catch it.
"One Sword Dominates"
More bloody hands poked out from the door, trying to drag Xu Cheng in, but after touching his body, they were immediately burned back.
Xu Cheng took the opportunity to retreat and saw Arakawa Buntai being dragged in by the ghost. He thought the mission had failed.
But the manager's prompt tone did not appear.
"You take those two old men away first."
Xu Cheng warned Qiu Gongyue that she had no means to deal with the evil spirits, and it was useless to stay.
Akimiya Yue didn't understand why Xu Cheng suddenly shot and injured Arakawa Buntai, but out of trust she didn't ask any questions, nodded, turned around and dragged the two old men from the Yashi family away.
Xu Cheng stayed in the cave and waited for the stone door to open. He was going to enter the secret realm of shadow again to see what was going on inside. Anyway, there were four chances to come back again.
The blood on the stone door surged, and just when Xu Cheng thought it would turn into a torrent, a huge bloody hand suddenly poked out of the door.
Then another hand, and finally a head.
The upper body of a giant ghost climbed out of the stone door. The body was made up of countless humanoid figures, densely packed together. Countless bloody hands stretched out from inside, scratching randomly. This scene was enough to put patients with trypophobia on the spot. Twitching and falling ill.
"ah!
"
Li Gui roared mournfully towards Xu Cheng.
This roar of filial piety could not distinguish between male and female, and it made people's heads feel dull, their consciousness blurred, and a strong sense of fear arose in their hearts.
Xu Cheng switched ability cards and used the Emotion Master to peel off the fear. Flames burst out from the pores of his body and enveloped his whole body.
boom!
He suspended in the air in a Vulcan posture, condensed a flame spear with one hand, and threw it at the giant ghost.
The giant ghost opened its mouth and vomited, and a large amount of smelly blood spurted out from the air, colliding with Xu Cheng's flame gun.
boom!
Hot flames and blood exploded, accompanied by a sizzling sound. The high-temperature flames evaporated the blood, and thick steam suddenly filled the entire space.
The steam was covered in flames the next moment, and Xu Cheng created a sea of fire, turning the entire space into a huge oven.
The giant ghost was roasted by the flames and smoked. The countless ghosts gathered on it were constantly being destroyed by the burning flames, and countless screams were heard.
"ah!
"
The giant ghost couldn't stand the sea of fire, so he opened his mouth and roared again, and countless ghosts in his body also roared together.
Countless voices gathered together to form a deafening scream. The sound waves were like a fierce typhoon, directly blowing out the sea of fire.
Xu Cheng was blown around in the air, and the giant ghost had already raised a ghost hand and slapped him down.
His whole body turned into flames and dispersed, avoiding the attack of the ghost hand, re-condensing his body above his arms, holding a flaming blade in both hands, and slashed with the knife.
The huge ghost hand was cut off from the middle, and countless ghosts flew out from the cut, like a storm of crows, rushing towards Xu Cheng.
Even if they collided and were annihilated by the flames, the other ghosts would follow in succession, trying to extinguish the flames on Xu Cheng's body.
Xu Cheng was knocked back in the air and kept retreating. Feeling that the power of the Vulcan remains was being consumed, he could only turn into flames and disperse.
The group of ghosts lost their target and were like a dense school of fish, wandering in the cave.
The scattered flames fell to all parts of the cave, and boiled up again in an instant, forming a sea of hot fire.
The scorching flames quickly condensed together to form Xu Cheng's appearance. His whole body was exuding seemingly endless light and heat, and even his face became unclear. All the power of the Vulcan's remains had been stimulated by him.
The giant ghost sensed danger and recalled the wandering ghosts.
Xu Cheng turned into a beam of fire and rushed towards the giant ghost.
"ah!
"
The giant ghost screamed and slapped him down with its other ghost hand.
boom!
Xu Cheng hit the ghost's hand with his head, directly penetrated the ghost's hand, rushed up along the arm, and finally fell into the giant ghost's mouth.
It subconsciously closed its mouth and swallowed Xu Cheng in one gulp.
The next moment, the body suddenly expanded, countless cracks burst out, and rays of light radiated from the cracks.
The giant ghost's body expanded to its limit, and finally exploded with a loud bang.
The endless flames spurted out from its body, annihilating all the countless ghosts, and turned into ashes all over the sky amidst bursts of shrill screams.
The flames instantly spread throughout the cave, wiping out the evil ghosts that had been lingering in the stone gate for nearly a hundred years. Then they suddenly retreated, and they all gathered into human form.
Xu Cheng fell from the sky, canceled the flame body, and breathed a sigh of relief.
This group of fierce ghosts is extremely powerful, and the power they exert when they come together is terrifying.
Fortunately, the Vulcan wreckage actually has the effect of restraining ghosts. Otherwise, with only ability cards or killer cards, there would be no way to deal with the ghosts, and they would have to run away.
The hundred-year-old ghost was wiped out, and a corpse fell out. It was the Arakawa Buntaishi who had been dragged in just now.
Xu Cheng hurriedly went over to check and found that Arakawa Buntai was dead. In addition to his shoulders and arms being blown apart by Xu Cheng, there were traces of bites from evil ghosts everywhere on his body, and he was almost inhuman shape.
"Zhuo, these people are dead, what about my mission?"
Xu Cheng felt numb. Arakawa Buntais was the target of the mission, and the manager asked him to find out his true purpose.
But now that everyone is dead, we can't let a dead person speak, right?
Well, wait a minute!
Xu Cheng suddenly reacted and punched hard with his hands.
He suddenly understood why the manager did not prompt that the mission failed when the mission target died.
