Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 939 The Ghostly Shadow of a Death Row Inmate
Wu Xian looked at Luo Caixia.

Qi Liang's choice was correct and rational. After being hit with twenty lashes, Wu Xian realized that the intensity of the Death Gate far exceeded any area he had experienced before. Even he was not confident that he could escape unscathed, let alone protect the two newcomers in danger.

But the plump Aunt Luo immediately lost her temper, shouting in a hoarse, barely audible voice:

"Who wants to die with you? I haven't lived enough yet. Even if you put on a carefree act, don't try to trick me into dying."

Qi Liang's face was full of bitterness:
"Carefree? If you have a way to live, but choose to die for others, that's what being carefree is. I'm just desperate..."

stomping on...

The regular footsteps of the giant corpse worms rang out.

Wu Xian quickly pulled down his clothes and sprinkled some powder on his waist and hips. The cool sensation relieved his pain slightly, but it couldn't completely cure it. Luo Caixia also swallowed some powder with her drink, and her burning throat became cool.

Qi Liang looked at Wu Xian: "Please help me, I don't dare to do it myself."

Wu Xian nodded gravely, slit Qi Liang's throat with a knife, then took several small, sharp instruments of torture from the wooden table and led Luo Caixia back into the darkness.

boom!
Not long after the two left, a huge and terrifying face squeezed into the interrogation area, swallowed Qi Liang's corpse whole, and chewed it mercilessly, blood seeping from between its teeth.

After devouring the corpses of many prisoners, the giant corpse worm became even more grotesque, and the eyes on its head seemed to be more numerous than before.

This thing is growing stronger by devouring!
……

In the corridor, the light of the Burning Dream Blade dimmed even further.

After passing through the interrogation area, the area behind became eerily quiet.

It's not that there's no sound at all, but rather that sound can't travel very far here, so much so that Wu Xian and Luo Caixia can't determine the location of the giant corpse worm by sound.

This further amplified their fear.

Luo Caixia followed Wu Xian step by step, sweat dripping from her face and back. She had rejected Qi Liang's death invitation in a moment of excitement, but after calming down, she felt that Qi Liang's words made more and more sense.

"Hey Xiao Wu, do you still have those playing cards?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Give me one, please. If something happens to me, please kill me quickly. I've thought about it carefully, and I'm more afraid of not being able to be resurrected after death than of dying."

Wu Xian smiled after hearing this.

This middle-aged woman's transformation from being stubborn to admitting defeat was ridiculously fast, which was somewhat endearing.

He took out a playing card, placed it together with the long steel needle he had taken from the torture chamber, and had Aunt Luo keep it in front of her chest for safekeeping.

When Aunt Luo received the long needle, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her panicked heart calmed down a little.

boned...

Just then, something rolled down the ground and hit Luo Caixia's foot.

Luo Caixia bent down and took a look; she almost fainted from fright.

It was a severed head, its face bluish, its lips black, and the flesh at the cut of its neck curled outwards and rotted. Its bulging, turbid eyes blinked at her.

"what!"

Luo Caixia screamed and kicked the head away.

"Can you see my head?"

The moment the head flew off, Luo Caixia heard a strange, questioning voice. The voice was very odd, unlike anything a human could make, and its source was...

"There's a voice above my head!"

After Luo Caixia told Wu Xian, she subconsciously looked up and saw a prisoner on the ceiling! This prisoner was standing upside down on the ceiling, defying the laws of physics, holding a blood-stained and rusty scimitar in his right hand. He had no head, and the severed end of his neck was pointing directly at Luo Caixia's head. As she looked up, a drop of blood dripped from her throat into her eye, and she blinked subconsciously.

In that instant, the prisoner raised his curved knife and slashed at Luo Caixia's exposed throat, which was exposed because she was looking up!

At the same time, Wu Xian swung his Burning Dream Blade, aiming for Luo Caixia's head.

Luo Caixia herself wasn't a fledgling who had encountered ghosts for the first time. She already possessed twice the speed and strength of an ordinary person, but the blood droplet in her eye revealed her weakness.

So she quickly squatted down, avoiding the danger of having her throat slit, but a huge gash was still cut into her chubby face.

The prisoner was cut in two by Wu Xian's blade, turning to ashes in the flames, and the flame mark on the blade changed to three.

Luo Caixia collapsed to the ground, covering her face, her eyes wide with shock, her heart pounding to its limit. This was the closest she had ever come to death since she began her mission in the blessed land.

"Get up, or you're dead."

Wu Xian, holding Luo Caixia's hand, continued forward along the red line.

boned...

The sound of heads rolling around kept coming from the ground around her. This time, Luo Caixia didn't dare to kick any of them, but even if she didn't kick them, these heads would automatically come to her.

Besides these headless ghosts, there are many other terrifying things in the Gate of Death.

There is a waist-severing ghost wielding a giant guillotine. This ghost hides in the wall and will quietly extend the guillotine when the two are not paying attention. Once the guillotine covers them, it will cut them in half at the waist with a snap.

Fortunately, setting up the guillotine takes time, and the two were constantly moving, so although they were startled many times, neither of them was actually hit.

There is a dismembered ghost that has been torn apart by a chariot. This ghost will suddenly throw out a rope and wrap it around Wu Xian or Luo Caixia's body. If a rope hits, the person will be pulled against the wall and knocked senseless. If two or more ropes hit, there will be tremendous force coming from different directions, pulling the person's body as if it is about to be torn apart.

Wu Xian and Luo Caixia were both very strong, and because there were two of them, when one of them was hit, the other could quickly cut the rope for him.

There are also ghosts that are hanged, skinned, or beaten to death...

Within minutes, Wu Xian and his men had been attacked no less than ten times.

The entire corridor became fraught with danger, with peril coming from every imaginable corner. It wasn't a single evil spirit, nor was there a unified rule; there was only a relentless stream of brutal attacks.

Even Wu Xian couldn't escape unscathed.

At this moment, Wu Xian was somewhat grateful that Luo Caixia was by his side. With her there, he had at least one more pair of eyes to help him guard against any sneak attacks.

Wu Xian could withstand such a high-intensity attack, but Luo Caixia simply couldn't. Her body could still fight, but her mind was already nearing its limit.

Just then, a terrifying ghostly figure appeared in the darkness.

The ghostly figure had no clothes and no intact flesh. It stood there staring straight into the darkness, looking at Wu Xian and Luo Caixia. Although there was no light around it, the two of them could clearly see every detail of its bloody body.

This is a being subjected to slow slicing!

The mere appearance of the Lingchi Ghost made Wu Xian feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

After several rounds of battles, Wu Xian had long since discovered that the order in which they passed through the prison cells when entering the Death Gate, to some extent, represented the strength of the evil spirits after the suppression by the drumbeats was lifted.

The weakest prisoners in the ordinary cells are those with intact bodies. The decapitated ghost is threatening but not particularly strong. The strongest is the 'giant corpse worm' that we saw last. Below the giant corpse worm is the prisoner girl, but she has already left the Death Gate and is staying in the small square on the second floor.

If this inference is correct, then the strength of this Lingchi ghost is second only to that of the prisoner!
Furthermore, when Wu Xian arrived, he saw more than one prisoner subjected to the death by a thousand cuts...

Wu Xian was wary of the Lingchi Ghost, but its terrifying appearance became the final straw that broke Luo Caixia's back.

She screamed in despair, losing all awareness of the evil spirits around her.

Five ropes from the chariot-split demon suddenly emerged from the darkness, simultaneously binding one of Luo Caixia's legs and forcibly pulling her into the darkness with overwhelming force...
