Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Moths to the Flame_1

Having passed through the corridor, your vision suddenly cleared.

It looked like a square here, about the size of three basketball courts combined, and circular in shape.

What surprised you was that there seemed to be a gigantic black object in the center of the square, entirely shrouded by a black fog. Despite the fervent gaze of your eyes, you still couldn’t make it out clearly.

"What is that thing? Why can’t even light penetrate it?" Sun Lin aimed the beam of his Wolf’s eye flashlight at the black object, but as soon as the light touched it, it was lost, preventing a clear view.

"Yes, it’s like the light is being absorbed."

Du Xishan wanted to approach, but you urgently pulled him back: "Don’t go near it!"

Du Xishan felt your breathing suddenly become a bit rapid and asked, "Mu Yun, what’s wrong?"

"There’s something wrong with this thing!"

You stared fixedly at everything in front of you, in your eyes, the black fog seemed like a living entity, constantly devouring the light that Du Xishan was shining toward it.

"This thing definitely has a problem. It gives me the feeling of a slumbering demon."

At this moment, even the always composed Saintess showed a hint of alarm.

"I don’t understand." Du Xishan turned his head to glance at the skeletons in the passage, then looked towards the black fog, "Why would so many people willingly sit there waiting for death instead of leaving? Could it be that this thing really does possess such powerful magic power, compelling them to wait regardless of their lives?"

"Bang!"

Just as Du Xishan finished speaking, a booming impact came from the end of the corridor behind them.

Everyone turned to look, and it was only then that they realized, it wasn’t that those people wanted to sit and wait for death, but that they had no other choice—as a stone perfectly fitting the crack of the passageway suddenly fell, sealing the entire passage.

There was no way out!

"I’ll go take a look."

Sun Lin turned, intending to examine the stone, but you grabbed his shoulder and shook your head at him: "It’s no use, this is a trap. The designer had calculated everything clearly. Once you pass through the corridor, the Broken dragon stone would automatically fall, trapping us alive in here."

"What do we do then?"

The Saintess slowly raised her right hand and pointed at the massive object in front of her, "The only way is to unveil the black fog and see what’s really inside. Moreover, I can feel that the two things we’re looking for are in there."

As she said this, the Saintess slightly bowed her head, and in an angle invisible to you, a sharp glitter flashed in her eyes.

Upon the Saintess’s words, Shadow One couldn’t help but exchange glances with Shadow Two beside him. Shadow Two nodded and took out a glass bottle sealed with Talisman Paper from his rucksack. You merely glanced at it, and immediately frowned, because you could clearly see that the bottle actually contained human blood!

"What are you doing?"

Shadow Two did not respond and simultaneously drew out his Tang Knife, sprinkling the human blood from the bottle onto the blade.

The instant the human blood touched the Tang Knife, you were astonished to find the entire blade glow red.

"Blood Slaughter Knife?"

You did not expect these seemingly easygoing women to use such a malevolent weapon!

The blood in that bottle was not merely extracted from human vessels; it was concocted using the heart blood of infants no older than seventy days. That seemingly small bottle of fresh blood required the processing of at least seven infants!

Shadow Two said nothing as she placed her palm on the blade, dragging it from the tip to the bottom, simultaneously smearing her own blood onto the blade.

At that moment, the blade’s light greatly intensified!

With focused eyes, Shadow Two immediately transformed into a streaking shadow, sprinting towards the black fog!

The red-glowing Tang Knife seemed to fuse with her, striking the black fog with an unreturnable, unstoppable momentum!

"Ying——"

A harsh, piercing sound tore through the air, penetrating the eardrums of everyone present as if it was going to burst all their eardrums!

However, the seemingly powerful attack of Shadow Two had no effect on the black mist at all, not even allowing Shadow Two to glance back at her companions with whom she had shared life and death...

A living person, a vibrant and radiant life, just disappeared like that!

"Tch!"

It’s indescribable what kind of feeling it is, but your heart sinks.

Although for you, these women are only temporary companions, and maybe in the next moment, you would become enemies; but watching Shadow Two being swallowed by the black mist without a sound, you feel very upset.

"Shadow Three, Shadow Four, Shadow Five!" In the face of Shadow Two’s death, Shadow One didn’t even blink, coldly issuing orders.

"Present!"

Three women dressed in black shouted in unison, taking out a bottle of Blood Slaughter each from their packs and replicating the same method Shadow Two had just used.

"Wait a minute, don’t rush it, let’s think of another way."

"Do you have a way to dispel the black mist?" The Saintess turned her head to look at you, her eyes carrying a hint of scorn.

You took a glance at the black mist, shook your head slightly. To be honest, you weren’t sure if there was a way to remove the black mist without exhausting a great deal of your physical strength and vitality; if an emergency were to occur at that time, it would truly be the end for you, Du Xishan, and Sun Lin.

Frankly speaking, you are not a saint; you can’t selflessly serve others, especially a group of indifferent, cold-hearted assassins and zealots.

"If you have no way, then please step aside." The Saintess dismissed you coldly.

The three Shadow Guards let out a fierce cry, lunging at the black mist like moths to a flame, transforming into three red streaking arrows, aiming straight for the black mist!

At that moment, you closed your eyes in anguish.

You didn’t need to see it to know the outcome.

Why?

What era is it?

Why does such a scene still occur?

For whom are they truly sacrificing their lives?

Who is so reckless with life, so devoid of humanity?

From the original ten, four were gone in an instant, and both Du Xishan and Sun Lin couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, unable to believe that such dedicated people still existed.

"Shadow Six." Shadow One looked towards Shadow Six.

Shadow Six nodded slightly, also taking out the Blood Slaughter from her pack.

And just as Shadow Six and Shadow One were about to open the Blood Slaughter, you suddenly roared at them in anger, a roar akin to that of a wild beast!

"Enough!!! What are you trying to do!? Are you idiots!?" you bellowed at them crazily, almost hysterical, "Are your lives really so worthless!?"

Shadow One looked at you, speaking in a very calm tone, "Master Li, thank you."

After speaking, Shadow One opened the Blood Slaughter.

"Wait!"

You were furious, filled with an intense desire to hit someone. With no other thoughts in your head, you immediately took out a stack of Talisman Paper from your pocket and said to Shadow One, "Give me the Blood Slaughter!"
