Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 238 War Against King Mu of Zhou
boom!
bang bang bang!
It seems that the being inside the coffin can clearly perceive what is happening in the outside world.

As Hu Ming pulled out his knife, exuding murderous intent, the commotion inside, which had quieted down thanks to the younger brother's calming words, intensified once more.

The stone coffin looked quite heavy, but under the master's actions, the heavy coffin lid actually began to shake violently again.

It's safe to say that the one inside is extremely powerful.

After each violent commotion, a pungent smell of blood could always be smelled through the open crack.

"..."

Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie's expressions immediately changed, turning pale.

Blood Corpse! That was the name that suddenly came to their minds.

Before digging the tunnel, the excavated soil looked as if it had been soaked in blood for three days and three nights.

Now that you smell this blood, it goes without saying what's lying inside the coffin.

"Uncle Hu Ming, put the knife away!"

"Listen to me, don't be impulsive. That person is from over two thousand years ago, kneeling before him isn't a bad thing!"

"Brother, you finally managed to calm it down, please don't provoke it any further, that damn thing is a blood corpse!"

"A blood corpse! Do you know what that means? A monstrous creature! It could tear all five of us to shreds like it was a chick being pinched!"

Looking at Hu Ming's increasingly chilling sneer, the gleaming sword in his hand, and Hu Ming's slow approach to the stone coffin.

Knowing how terrifying the blood corpses were, Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie turned green with fear.

It's over. That guy doesn't have a good temper.

"By now, that person is furious, and there is no longer any chance to continue appeasing and negotiating."

However, before Hu Ming could answer, the young man slowly stood up and drew his sword from his back.

It must have been an illusion; for a fleeting moment, Hu Ming thought he heard the young man let out a silent sigh.
A helpless sigh?
emmm...

"You're too reckless, Hu Ming. We could have gotten through here safely without any problems."

Walking side by side to Hu Ming's side, the young man looked warily at the stone coffin and said calmly.

"There's nothing I can do, I'm just stubborn like this, and I'll never change in this lifetime."

"Anything is fine, but if you want me to submit, to kneel before someone, forget about it for this life or the next!"

"Watch out, they're coming!"

Hu Ming smiled nonchalantly, with a hint of apology in his expression.

Honestly, Hu Ming knew that if he had just given in, none of this would have happened.

But when you live your whole life, you always have to hold on to something.

boom!!!
Before he finished speaking, a distant rumble suddenly came from the stone coffin.

The coffin lid, which was three times larger than a door panel, flew straight out of the stone coffin towards the crowd!
Hu Ming and Xiao Ge need no further introduction; even the most exquisite hidden weapons in the world might not be able to ambush them.

What's more, a flying coffin lid?
At the same time, Wu Sansheng and Panzi quickly grabbed Wu Xie and pinned him down, preventing him from being smashed into mincemeat.

Boom! Another loud rumble echoed.

Looking back, they saw that the opening that Hu Ming and the others had made was completely blocked by the coffin lid!
"Hiss~ This guy doesn't seem to want us to leave!"

Wu Sansheng's lips twitched violently, and he gasped. Even with his more than twenty years of experience working in the fields, this was truly the first time he had ever seen such a fierce and intelligent zombie.

Inside the stone coffin, a bloodied figure, seemingly skinned and bruised, slowly rose, its bloodshot eyes fixed on Jiangnan.

"Eek~~ How scary~~"

Meeting those malicious, scarlet eyes, Hu Ming tilted his head and laughed comically.

If Hu Ming looked a bit more sleazy and wore a pair of brown sunglasses, he really would be a carbon copy of Kizaru…

They say the most cowardly things, but they fight the fiercest battles.

This sentence is probably the most suitable way to describe Hu Ming at this moment.

While everyone was still complaining about Hu Ming's bad habits, Hu Ming had already shot out.

Stepping on clouds and mist, in the blink of an eye, Hu Ming had already flashed to the front of the blood corpse.

Grip the knife with both hands and slash diagonally downwards!
A muffled thud was heard.

That was, after all, a blood corpse, a great calamity. Its blood-soaked hands clasped together in a split second, it gripped the dragon-patterned cloud-swirling blade tightly in its palms.

"roar!!!"

The blood corpse tilted its head forward and roared at Hu Ming.

Although others don't understand the language of corpses, he can still understand such strong emotions.

So, what should I say? Sorry?

Hu Ming grinned, pulled his gloved left hand off the hilt of the knife, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard into the blood corpse's throat!
At the same time, a terrifying force suddenly erupted from his right arm, veins bulging, far surpassing that of humans and even stronger than the most ferocious giant rice dumpling.
The dragon-patterned cloud-swirling blade in his hand pressed down relentlessly and irresistibly towards the blood corpse's neck.

That last strike was far from the limit of Hu Ming's strength.

Having not exercised for over twenty years, that knife wound was at best a warm-up.

boom!!
Unsurprisingly, to the blood corpse's horrified and furious gaze, Hu Ming's powerful left fist shattered its Adam's apple.

Visibly, the blood corpse's eyes became even more crimson, and its gaze turned pained.

But it was no pushover after all. The moment its Adam's apple was shattered, it rolled away like a lazy donkey, narrowly escaping the fatal blow at the last second.

but…

Pfft!!!
Under Hu Mingxi's watchful gaze, the blood corpse, which had just regained its footing, was suddenly pierced through from behind by a precious sword and pinned to the floor!
That's the young man.

"puff!!"

Is this not worthy of being called the blood corpse of King Mu of Zhou, a result of incomplete transformation during his immortality process?
The way blood zombies react when injured is completely different from ordinary rice dumplings; they react more like normal humans—they even vomit blood!

If its Adam's apple hadn't been shattered by Hu Ming, it probably would have already screamed in agony.

With a smile, Hu Ming wielded his precious sword, creating a series of dazzling patterns, and then pinned the blood corpse's hands together to the floor.

"Then, farewell, King Mu of Zhou!"

At the same time, Hu Ming leaned close to the struggling blood corpse's ear, lowered his voice, and said his final farewell.

"Bye-Bye!"
