Chapter 386: Conspiracy In The Dark
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The atmosphere of the night became strange.
The people who had already won held their breaths. A chill went from their tailbones to their skulls. Their hearts were beating non-stop as if they were going to jump out of their throats in the next moment.
In the next second, they saw the darkness in the distance clearly.
One of them was covered in blood, emitting a strong stench. He stood up stiffly, his eyes red, looking extremely terrifying under the cover of the night.
And the position this person was standing at was the spot where their fourth brother had died.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“Resurrected from the dead? No, what the h.e.l.l, I’m seeing the devil!”
“It’s over, it’s all over!”
Immediately, a few people who were unable to maintain their composure and had unstable dao hearts turned pale. They shouted and their eyes drifted as they scattered in all directions with light footsteps.
“Don’t run!”
Wu Su seemed to have thought of something as he shouted loudly and pulled the person beside him who was about to escape.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
One after another, strange sounds rang out!
One after another, corpses covered in fresh blood and with disjointed limbs stood up!
Their eyes were red!
“Ah!”
“Save me!”
Those who had their dao hearts broken and were about to run away had barely taken a few steps when ‘resurrected’ people appeared beside them.
When these ‘resurrected’ people saw the living people, their eyes turned red. They opened their mouths and bit at the nearest living person.
Wu Su and Ren Mu raised their bodies and wanted to save them. However, as soon as they took out their weapons, they saw a ferocious figure that looked like a wild beast charging at them.
A tree that only three people could hug was broken in half by fourth brother. The broken trunk was full of debris, but this still couldn’t slow him down.
In the next second, he was already in front of the two people.
“Not good!”
Wu Su shouted.
He wanted to counterattack, but it was too late. He could only hurriedly raise his hand to block in front of him and use a few life-saving skills.
“d.a.m.n it!”
Ren Mu had never thought that his resurrected fourth brother would be the first to target the two of them.
There was a humming sound at Ren Mu’s waist. A sword emitting blue light appeared out of thin air, as if it had cut through the darkness of day. The humming of the sword was accompanied by the sound of waves and water flowing. It was very strange.
Bang!
The life-saving talismans that Wu Su had released shattered one by one!
The blue light of the sword in Ren Mu’s hand dimmed, and a crack appeared. Blood flowed out from between his thumb and forefinger.
Fourth brother’s attack had succeeded. In the blink of an eye, he swept out another leg. This leg carried a dense baleful aura. Before the leg had even arrived, the baleful aura was already pressing down on people.
Wu Su and Ren Mu vomited blood wildly. They were sent flying like weeds. After smas.h.i.+ng down one tree after another, they fell heavily to the ground.
Fourth brother narrowed his eyes and shot out a ray of blood. He felt that the two of them were still alive. He stomped his foot and rushed forward, intending to uproot the weeds.
However, before he could take a step forward, Lin Bai lightly stepped on fourth brother’s knee and removed the force from his body, causing fourth brother to freeze on the spot.
“Your opponent is me.”
Lin Bai said coldly.
Qi Long, Ren Mu, and Wu Su were all heavily injured. Ren Mu and Wu Su’s injuries were especially serious. Lin Bai knew that he needed to deal with this “Fourth brother” in front of him as soon as possible, or else the two of them would be doomed.
Fourth brother froze on the spot. His expression was ferocious, and there were already fangs growing out of the corner of his mouth. His pair of scarlet eyes glanced to his side.
Those bandits who were already dead should have killed those guards who were in a daze.
However, fourth brother didn’t expect that there were a few small beasts fighting with the resurrected bandits and gaining the upper hand.
“Do you still understand what I’m saying?” Lin Bai asked tentatively.
He didn’t see any emotion in fourth brother’s eyes. He only saw an almost real violence.
Huff…
A heavy breathing sound came from the corner of his fourth brother’s mouth. It was as if he was a magical beast.
“He has no humanity left…”
A clear and elegant voice sounded from the darkness. Lin Bai immediately smelled a faint fragrance.
Luo Ningyu.
“The fourth leader of the Black Cloud Stronghold has been using a secret skill. He has become a magical puppet that only knows how to fight and only knows how to devour blood and flesh.”
Luo Ningyu introduced in detail. Her expression was very calm, as if she was used to seeing this scene.
“Devil puppets don’t know pain. When they fight, they often injure their enemies by a thousand and injure themselves by eight hundred. You have to be careful.”
Lin Bai clenched his hands tightly.
Lin Bai frowned slightly. “Then I’ll help you get rid of it!”
After saying this, Lin Bai clenched his right hand into a claw shape and made a slight grab in the air. A small pitch-black cauldron that gave off an ancient and holy aura appeared out of thin air.
Luo Ningyu’s eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, rippled, and the color between her brows and the corner of her mouth faded.
Buzz!
Lin Bai pushed his right hand forward, and the small cauldron directly smashed toward his fourth brother.
Demonic qi surged around his fourth brother’s body, enveloping him like armor. When he saw the small cauldron, he was confused for a moment. Then, he charged straight toward the small cauldron and toward Lin Bai.
Lin Bai frowned, but his hand did not show any mercy.
The small cauldron smashed into fourth brother’s chest as easily as breaking a dried twig. It shattered his chest, and his bones and flesh flowed all over the ground.
Fourth brother’s expression did not change, and his attack did not stop for a moment. His two hands formed into claws and clawed towards Lin Bai.
Demon qi surrounded his claws, and he was the first to touch Lin Bai.
However, Lin Bai was clearly prepared. His right leg had already been pulled out, and he fiercely kicked fourth brother’s jaw from the bottom up.
Bang!
Blood and teeth flew everywhere!
His fourth brother ‘flew’ upwards due to this force.
“Let’s end it here!”
Lin Bai’s eyes were cold. The small tripod in his hand had been thrown out and smashed on his fourth brother’s head. It exploded like a balloon.
His fourth brother’s headless body collapsed on the ground. Black blood flowed all over the ground, but his body did not move at all.
In the dense forest far away.
“Hiss!”
“What kind of treasure is Lin Bai and that small cauldron of his? He actually killed the fourth brother of the Black Cloud Stronghold with one strike?”
A two-meter-tall man wearing night clothes clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Humph, Little doyle. We can’t stay here for long. Lu, are you done?”
A man covered in black said coldly. He didn’t care about what happened in front of him at all.
“Okay, heh!” Luo Ningyu laughed sinisterly. “Now, our mission has been completed.”
The man in the black shadow nodded silently and disappeared in the next second.
The remaining two people took one last look at Lin Bai and the others at the village entrance. The smile on their lips also disappeared.
…
Luo Ningyu glanced around coldly. After a long while, she said softly, “There are no more survivors.”
“Yes.” Lin Bai nodded. “The commotion just now may have disturbed the people in the convoy. We have to go back and pacify them as soon as possible. I’m afraid Rong Ziyi is already too busy.”
Qi Long and the other two had already been brought back by the doctors in the convoy for treatment.
The doctors in the convoy were all selected by Luo Ningyu. Their medical skills were extraordinary, so Lin Bai was relieved.
