Chapter 20: The Speed of Light
In the bathroom, the female ghost walked towards Shu Xiaoman, who was paralyzed on the ground, step by step.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, the bathroom was like a tomb, and only the very light footsteps of the female ghost shook the air uneasily.
But a few steps passed in an instant, and the female ghost stood in front of Shu Xiaoman, her nails began to lengthen, and gradually evolved into five sharp blades with exaggerated proportions, like sickles.
Yin and fierce.
Shu Xiaoman lay motionless on the ground, her consciousness was still awake, but her brain was no longer able to command her body, and her whole body was frozen by the invading ghost qi.
It was useless for her to break free, her body seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible force, and even a simple action like blinking became an unattainable luxury.
"Damn~ Shu Xiaoman! Hurry up and move, at least you can escape or resist if you move! You are a dignified cultivator, it is really inferior to die like this!"
Shu Xiaoman kept saying to herself in her heart, stubbornly struggling desperately, but it was useless, she could only watch.
The edge of the tip of the ghost claw grew larger and larger in the girl's pupils......
Shu Xiaoman suddenly regretted a little, she should have listened to Yang Zhen's words just now and waited, this evil spirit is obviously not something she can deal with alone, maybe the two of them can discuss a solution together, but it is too late to say anything now.
"Am I going to die here?"
A thought crossed her mind, and the girl's eyes lit up with a hint of reluctance.
Suddenly, Shu Xiaoman thought of a spell.
This spell is a secret tradition of the Shu family, specializing in breaking the necromancy, but the user himself will lose a lot of power, and even his life is in danger, and almost no one in the family dares to use it.
But now that her life is hanging by a thread, Shu Xiaoman can't care so much, her mind is in a flash, her brain responds to the spell in the depths of her memory, and then the girl bites the tip of her tongue fiercely, blood gushes out, and a fiery power burns her heart from her throat.
Suddenly the body can move!
Shu Xiaoman didn't dare to delay, and rolled quickly, and the ghost claws were inserted into the tiles against her body.
It's dangerous~
Shu Xiaoman immediately turned over and rushed to the bathroom door.
※※※
Da~Da~Da~
Heavy footsteps made an empty sound on the tiles, Shu Xiaoman rushed forward at great speed, she had to escape here before the female ghost pulled her claws from the floor tiles, and joined Yang Zhen to deal with it together.
Something seemed wrong with the surroundings, the bathroom was very quiet, it was pitch black on both sides, dead as a tomb, and a thin mist swirled around, damp and cold.
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the air, knocking on the girl's nerves one by one, which made Shu Xiaoman uneasy. But after a few seconds, the uneasiness turned to fear, as if the blood in the body was clotting ice slag.
What about the door?
Shu Xiaoman clearly remembers that he pushed open the door of the bathroom and became entangled with the female ghost, no matter how big the bathroom is, it shouldn't have been running for so long and still can't get out, right?
But what about the door?
She turned around, but behind her was a black blur, and then looked forward, there was also darkness in front of her, and she couldn't see anything a few steps away, and the miserable, wet clouds around her became thicker and thicker, almost so thick that they could turn into substance, except for a few huge pillars with shadows in the dense fog, it seemed that between heaven and earth, only one person was left.
At first, Shu Xiaoman didn't notice this layer of fog and dampness, but then he felt that this was not a normal state at all.
"桀桀桀~"
The gloomy laughter was in my ears, like a night owl, piercing and terrifying.
Shu Xiaoman's eyes widened suddenly.
It was an unimaginable nightmare in front of her, the female ghost was behind her, as if she had never been far away, but now all she could see was a ghost head with thick black hair, and she couldn't see her limbs and body at all. It was as if the head was floating in the air.
But that's not the most terrifying.
The most terrifying thing is that this ghost head is no longer a normal humanoid, but a huge head the size of a basketball court!
A gust of wind blowing from nowhere blew through the thick hair, and finally the face of the female ghost appeared—miserable and white, the whole face was almost completely deformed, like a rugged mountain range and valley in front of it, the cracked mouth could almost fit a car, the sharp black teeth flashed on it, and the eyes without pupils revealed endless gloom and horror.
Worst!
Shu Xiaoman sent out blue-white lightning and silver swords again, and her face seemed to turn a little pale in an instant. The lightning was instantly engulfed by the giant mouth, and the silver sword supported it for a moment and burst into flames.
Shu Xiaoman's heart sank, her hands were sealed, her lips opened lightly, and a series of high-pitched dragon groans emanated from the girl's throat, and in an instant, her body shimmered like stars, shining brightly, and a huge virtual image appeared behind herself, obviously preparing some high-level spells.
A sudden shock interrupted her, and the girl almost fell, followed by a violent shaking of the mountain, and the surrounding scene began to gradually crumble, collapse, and the ground cracked one after another, and the five huge pillars in the dense fog around her were also tilting and collapsing towards her......
"Was there an earthquake?"
The surrounding scene was like the end of the world, the five huge pillars were collapsing towards the girl, Shu Xiaoman hurriedly got up and wanted to dodge, but another violent shock threw her to the ground, she raised her head, and the huge pillar body continued to grow larger in the girl's pupils.
Wait!
Shu Xiaoman suddenly saw a white giant appear under his body.
It was a huge body dressed in white!
It's the body of that female ghost!
At this moment, Shu Xiaoman suddenly realized that she had always been in the palm of the female ghost, and the five collapsed pillars were her five fingers!
Her face turned pale all of a sudden, as if she had swallowed a whole bowl of rice overnight, and for a moment, she was frightened and frustrated...... All kinds of negative emotions came to her heart, and an unprecedented sense of despair engulfed her consciousness.
I should have listened to Yang Zhen if I knew it......
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine to take in this world, and the girl watched in amazement as five huge fingers pressed against her—now she knew that it wasn't an earthquake, but a female ghost closing her palms.
"When my hands are tightened, that's when I die~"
She thought like this, just as the rabbit under the tiger's claws would never think of running away, in the face of such absolute power, Shu Xiaoman's whole person had been swallowed up by boundless despair, and she didn't want to move at all, just watching the ghost hand gradually close.
But at this moment!
A figure of unknown person suddenly burst out and flew past her.
Shu Xiaoman was taken aback:
Yang Zhen?!
Before the thought is over, the sword has appeared.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment at this moment, and the slender blade drew a graceful light arc in the air: one, two, three, four...... Ten Slashes...... 100 Slashes...... Thousand Slash ...... As if by magic, Onimaru Kunitsuna changed from one to two, two to four, and four to eight in the hands of the boy...... In an instant, countless flashes of swords flashed.
This is because the speed has surpassed time, and the world around Yang Zhen has been slowed down countless times, so in Shu Xiaoman's opinion, Yang Zhen's slash is as if countless knives have been cut out in an instant, in fact, it is just countless pictures that have been interrupted by the pause of time pieced together, and the flashing knife light is intertwined into a gorgeous light curtain, which dazzles her, but she is fascinated.
Flying Sword Stream - Slash at the speed of light!
For some reason, two huge English letters suddenly appeared in Shu Xiaoman's mind at this moment:
K!O!
Shu Xiaoman found that she was back in the corridor again, and Yang Zhen was not far in front of her, maintaining the posture of the last slash, solidifying.
Behind him, the evil ghost who was still fangs and claws a moment ago froze there, a pair of miserable white ghost hands unconsciously stretched out into the air, and in the eyes without pupils, the gloomy and terrifying bursts that were originally revealed had disappeared, and all that remained was a kind of dissolution similar to confusion......
Then, the huge body of the female ghost collapsed, scattered into countless pieces, gradually vaporized, and finally disappeared completely.
Yang Zhen got up slowly, and the blade of his right hand slid against the sheath, and the carp mouth - the sheath led - the knife was accepted, and the clouds flowed.
"Are you alright?" he asked softly as he walked up to the girl.
“...... It's okay. Shu Xiaoman lowered his head.
For some reason, her cheeks were a little hot at this moment.
