Chapter 323
For the first time, Zhou Hu felt a deadly threat.
His lair is being forcibly rewritten and suppressed by a more advanced and domineering set of rules.
He must eliminate the source of the rules—Lin Feng—before he is completely imprisoned.
"boom--!!"
The coffin in the center of the tomb trembled violently, and the lid was blown off with a crash, slamming heavily against the wall.
A thick, inky, and extremely ferocious black-red aura surged out of the coffin, condensing in mid-air into a tall and hideous human figure.
SS-level mystery—Zhou Hu has awakened!
"Time is of the essence, let's go!"
Tang Xiaofu gave a cold shout and fired both guns simultaneously, the bullets whistling through the air as they hurtled towards Zhou Hu's malevolent aura.
The four members of the Fang Squad also launched a fierce attack simultaneously:
Luo Lei, wielding a heavy military-grade bone-chopping knife, leaped forward, the blade striking his opponent's vitals with fierce force.
Lu Ye gripped a pair of short steel daggers, his movements as elusive as a cheetah as he launched surprise attacks, targeting weaknesses and blind spots.
Qin Huo'er raised her repeating crossbow, and arrows rained down to suppress the enemy's movements.
Wang Chui swung his giant iron hammer with both arms and strode forward, each strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, crashing towards Zhou Hu's body.
Seven beasts guarded the field, the team launched a powerful attack, and Lin Feng controlled the rules from the center.
The final battle has officially begun.
Bullets, crossbow bolts, and blades rained down, but each time the blood mist was dispersed, it would coalesce again in the next second.
The malevolent energy not only did not weaken, but became even more intense, corroding the area so that the golden light sizzled and cracked continuously.
"This is useless! It won't kill him at all!" Luo Lei parried with his sword, but the impact caused his tiger's mouth to split open, and blood seeped out.
Lin Feng's gaze was fixed on the wooden coffin, his thoughts racing—
Zhou Hu had long since merged with the tomb, the coffin, and the resentment; the blood mist was merely an outward manifestation of his power. His true weakness must still lie within his body inside the coffin.
Especially the area around the heart.
The best example is the Western movies where nailing a needle into the heart can completely kill a monster.
Anyway, since it's still in the simulation stage, it's worth a try.
Without further hesitation, he took out the evil-repelling short blade—Silent Bone—given to him by Old Master Tang from his personal space.
A fingertip lightly traced the blade, and blood gushed out, soaking the blade completely.
"Xiaofu, teleport me to the coffin! The target isn't the blood mist, it's the heart of the main body inside!"
Tang Xiaofu instantly understood, immediately put away her gun, grabbed Lin Feng's wrist, and unleashed a burst of spatial power.
A faint spatial ripple appeared in the void, and the two figures faded slightly within the ripple, directly crossing the chaotic battle area and appearing out of thin air directly above the coffin.
Zhou Hu let out a fierce roar, and the blood mist launched a frenzied counterattack, but it was firmly restrained by the Seven Beasts Domain.
Lin Feng leaped into the coffin, gripped the blood-stained Silent Bone Short Blade, and with all his might, plunged it into the opponent's left chest, right in front of his heart!
"Well--!!"
A painful roar suddenly exploded, and the black and red evil energy convulsed and disintegrated violently.
The Silent Bone Short Blade, imbued with Lin Feng's supreme yang blood energy, spread its power of exorcism wildly along Zhou Hu's heart, causing Zhou Hu's body to wither and shatter at a visible speed.
The blood mist dissipated, and the resentment was purified.
The SS-level eerie Zhou Hu was completely annihilated under the purification of the power of exorcism.
Having confirmed that the threat had been eliminated, Lin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, focused his mind, and immediately ended the simulation.
Seeing Lin Feng open his eyes, Tang Xiaofu immediately asked, "How is it? Have you found a solution?"
Lin Feng nodded and briefly explained everything that had happened during the deduction: the blood mist could not be dispersed, the main body was hidden at the bottom of the coffin, and the blood could be applied to the Silent Bone Short Blade to deliver a fatal blow.
Upon hearing this, the four members of the Fang Squad's eyes instantly gleamed with excitement.
"There's no time to lose," Tang Xiaofu turned to look at the bronze door, "I'll open the stone door now."
"Wait a moment."
Lin Feng suddenly stepped forward and gently put his arm around Tang Xiaofu's slender waist.
Tang Xiaofu was slightly taken aback.
"Let's recharge first," Lin Feng said seriously, "so we won't be short of energy when we fight later."
Tang Xiaofu's cheeks flushed instantly, but she did not flinch or refuse.
Lin Feng leaned down and gently kissed her.
The moment their lips touched, Tang Xiaofu instinctively gripped his clothes, letting his breath completely envelop her.
A few seconds later, Lin Feng slowly released her and nodded gently: "You can open the door now."
Tang Xiaofu's face turned as red as a ripe shrimp, but she still forced herself to remain calm, turned around, and walked quickly toward the bronze door.
........................
Studio:
"Tang Xiaofu, your face is as red as a teapot!"
"Brother Feng, I seriously suspect you did this on purpose. I don't know if you have enough energy, but a kiss is definitely a must!"
"Using your position for personal gain, huh! Using 'charging up' as an excuse to date!"
"Who understands! Sprinkling sugar before the final battle—it's way too sweet!"
"Haha, this is a sure thing! After the fight, we'll marry her right away!"
"This isn't just charging up, it's stacking up the love buff!"
........................
Tang Xiaofu grasped the pair of ghost-faced door knockers at the bottom of the door with both hands and slowly knocked them according to the rhythm her father had instructed her to use.
"Thump...thump thump...thump—"
The sound of the copper rings striking the door knocker echoed through the passageway.
A moment later, "Boom—Boom—"
A loud clanging sound of a mechanism turning came from behind the heavy bronze door, and the sound of the lock being released was clearly audible.
Tang Xiaofu took a deep breath and pushed the door open with both hands.
The bronze door slowly opened inward.
A stench of decay, blood, and sweetness wafted towards us. Behind the door was a circular stone chamber about twenty meters in diameter.
In the very center of the stone chamber, a huge vermilion-lacquered wooden coffin was half submerged in the stone layer and half exposed.
In front of the coffin, a complete skeleton of a white ape was firmly locked by five thick copper chains, in a prostrate kneeling posture, with its head lowered and its forehead resting on the floor tiles.
The coffin lid was slightly off-center with a three-finger-wide gap, and fleshy red proliferative tissue spread out from the edge of the gap, clinging to the coffin body like blood vessels.
It's exactly the same as in the simulation.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng gave the order in a stern voice:
"Seven Beasts, heed my command—unleash your full power within your domain of rules, and enter!"
Seven figures shot into the tomb chamber like arrows released from a bow.
The Siberian tiger roared to the sky, and the [Lone Wolf Domain] unfolded with a bang.
A white eagle soars into the sky above the snow-capped mountains, and the [Overlooking Domain] is activated.
A desolate wolf howled mournfully, and the [Hunting Domain] instantly took shape.
The enraged black bear slammed its massive paw into the ground, its [Crushing Domain] crushing everything in its path.
The demon-faced mountain goblin sneered eerily, and the [Deceitful Domain] was activated.
A cheetah galloped around the coffin, activating the [Ultimate Kill Domain].
The African lion roars with its head held high, and the [Dominion Domain] stacks six rules layer upon layer.
The seven domains of rules intertwined and resonated, instantly enveloping the entire stone chamber.
The ghostly hands that were about to emerge from the cracks in the floor tiles froze in mid-air, twitching, unable to extend any further.
"boom--!!"
The coffin in the center of the tomb trembled violently, and the lid was blown off with a crash, slamming heavily against the wall.
A thick, inky, and extremely ferocious black-red aura surged forth from the coffin, coalescing in mid-air into a grotesque humanoid shape—
Blood mist surged, blurring faces, with only a pair of scarlet eyes staring intently at Lin Feng.
Zhou Hu is awake!
"Here it comes!" Tang Xiaofu fired both guns simultaneously, the silver bullets flying in a straight line, precisely piercing the cloud of blood mist.
The four members of the Fang Squad attacked simultaneously—Luo Lei's bone-chopping knife cleaved through the mist, Lu Ye's fine steel dagger tore at the edge of the mist, Qin Huo'er fired a series of crossbow bolts, pinning the blood mist in mid-air, and Wang Chui's heavy hammer shattered the mist with each strike, causing it to scatter and fly everywhere.
The blood mist was dispersed time and time again, only to reform again and again.
It's exactly the same as in the simulation.
Just as he was about to speak, his wrist was suddenly tightened.
Tang Xiaofu had already grabbed him, her gaze resolute: "I'll take you there!"
