The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Being afraid before fighting is a big taboo for a warrior.

Zhao Gong knew that there was something wrong with his state of mind. If it was not resolved, it might become his inner demon and he would never be able to break through to the eighth level of martial arts.

Zhao Gong was anxious and wanted to ask Shi Gu for advice. However, after seeing Shi Gu's bloody killing methods, the warriors on the boat all felt resentful towards Shi Gu.

In their opinion, a master with such cruel methods may be more worthy of vigilance than the man-eating demon.

The wind outside the window was blowing hard and the light was getting dimmer, so I had to light candles in the room.

"From now on, we must travel together and not separate."

"That monster is hiding in the dark. You must not act separately. No matter what the other party is, with so many warriors like us, we are still able to fight."

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest seemed to be the person in charge. Zhao Gong recognized him. He was Wu Hai, one of the Jin Mansion's worshippers and a warrior at the peak of the seventh level.

Wu Hai took a bunch of bells and distributed them to everyone, saying solemnly.

"I have some bells here. Take them and tie them on your hands. If anyone is unfortunate enough to be captured by that monster, the bells will remind that person of their location."

Hearing this, everyone took the bells and tied them on their wrists. Zhao Gong took the bell absentmindedly and tied it around his waist.

Seeing this, Wu Hai smiled gently and bowed to everyone.

"Everyone, my young master is in a bad mood. Please forgive me if I have been negligent."

"If you survive this disaster, my master will reward you handsomely. But I want to remind you that besides the man-eating monster, the guy in the daytime doesn't seem to be a good person either."

"You must be on guard."

Hearing this, everyone agreed, only a few people did not respond. Master Zhao Gong and his apprentice did not respond. Apart from these two people, the stubborn Huang Shan frowned and could not help but retort.

"Why do you say that? Manager Liu did something wrong, so his death is not a pity. I think that man did a good job, so the evildoer should be killed."

Wu Hai was not surprised to hear this. Everyone knew Huang Shan's temper, which was stubborn and stubborn. He did not intend to argue with Huang Shan, but just asked him with a smile.

"Brother Huang, I just want to ask you one question. Do you know the name of that person?"

Huang Shan was stunned. He had only met Shi Gu a few times and naturally didn't know Shi Gu's name. After all, Shi Gu had not taken the initiative to announce his name.

Seeing Huang Shan was silent, Wu Hai spoke without hesitation.

"This person is definitely not weak. He was able to easily knock Zhao Gong away with one punch that day. He must be at least a seventh-grade martial artist."

"But you all know how big the ancient city is. You and I know every seventh-rank warrior well."

"But this person seemed to appear out of nowhere. Perhaps he just happened to pass by the ancient city. After he appeared, the ogre followed him."

"If you insist that it's just a coincidence, we can believe it, but we must be on guard against others and never let our guard down against this person."

What Wu Hai said sounded very convincing. Although Huang Shan was stubborn, he listened to it and stopped speaking for Shi Gu.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the room began to express their dissatisfaction with Shi Gu, and the noise in the room became louder again.

"what!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard, and everyone stopped talking. They stood up and rushed out of the house at the same time.

On the long deck of the ship, Xiang Zhiwei walked out of the room awkwardly. His pupils were dull and the big hole in his chest was still there, but his clothes were covered with countless scraps of flesh, completely staining them red.

A crew member saw this scene and shouted in horror.

Looking at the crew member from the end, he slowly opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs. It was discovered that there were actually several rows of teeth in his mouth, which were so sharp and intimidating.

"hiss-"

Xiang Zhiwei made meaningless sounds from his mouth. He didn't understand what was happening and didn't remember who he was. All his rationality had disappeared and only the instinct to eat remained.

He was very hungry. The feeling of hunger that could never be satisfied occupied all his thoughts. He wanted to eat many, many people, eat everyone here.

Xiang Zhiwei took an awkward step forward very slowly. At this moment, a loud shout came from a distance.

"Monster, die!"

I saw a figure passing through the hall at an extremely fast speed, and a nine-ring broadsword chopped from bottom to top towards Xiang Zhiwei's head.

clang! ! ! ! !

The nine-ring broadsword fell on Xiang Zhiwei's head, and it actually made a metallic collision sound. The blade trembled slightly, and the iron rings on the back of the blade kept shaking and colliding with each other.

Xiang Zhiwei's eyes were cloudy and he reached forward with his claws. The man dodged hastily but a piece of his clothes was still torn off. He took several steps back and only at this moment could he see Xiang Zhiwei's face clearly.

"To the end?!"

"How is this possible? Aren't you dead?!"

Amid exclamations, a group of seventh-rank warriors on the boat came one after another, gathered together, and exclaimed in amazement at Xiang Zhiwei who had "come back from the dead".

He twisted his head slightly and took a stiff and clumsy step forward. He looked like a baby who had just learned to walk, quite funny.

Everyone looked at Xiang Zhiwei, whose chest was empty, and suddenly fell silent, with expressions of surprise and fear.

Can a person survive without his internal organs?

In other words, if a person has lost his internal organs but is still alive, is he still a person?

"The demon's methods are truly bizarre and strange. Brother Xiang, you should rest in peace."

One of them sighed, strode forward, and raised his palms. His palms were like flowing light and instantly landed on Xiang Zhiwei's head.

Boom! With a muffled sound, Xiang Zhiwei did not move at all, but the man retreated again and again, his palms twitching slightly, with a look of fear.

With the palm strike just now, he felt as if he had hit a heavy block of iron, and his palm became numb.

"Everyone be careful! Brother Xiang's body is as hard as iron. It's hard to hurt him."

After taking a step towards the end, he stopped. He realized that his speed was too slow and he couldn't keep up with the other party. And there seemed to be a voice in the dark, telling him what to do.

So he put his feet together, put his hands vertically in front of his chest, exerted force suddenly, and jumped out.

However, Xiang Zhiwei's body shot out at an angle and pounced on the crowd at an extremely fast speed. Everyone was shocked and immediately scattered and retreated, with the sound of bells ringing continuously.

When retreating, several masters who used hidden weapons exerted their strength one after another, and countless hidden weapons fell towards them like heavy rain.

clang!clang!clang!

He leaped towards Zhiwei, and countless hidden weapons fell on his body, creating sparks and bouncing away one after another.

In the chaos, one person escaped a little slower and was grabbed by Xiang Zhiwei. The man was shocked but couldn't break free. At this moment, Zhao Gong raised his palms and a ball of ink floated between his palms. He stepped forward and brought down a palm, hitting Xiang Zhiwei's chest.

Boom! With a loud bang, Xiang Zhiwei's body flew out backwards, and the man also successfully escaped.

Zhao Gong concentrated his energy and gathered a ball of black water the size of his palm. He looked into the distance and saw Xiang Zhiwei lying on the ground in a rather embarrassed manner with a big hole in his chest.

Seeing this, Zhao Gong's expression relaxed, he felt relieved, and said to everyone.

"Don't panic, this isn't true invulnerability. With our combined strength, we can break through the opponent's flesh and blood."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down and stopped running around. They just looked at the big hole in Xiang Zhiwei's chest and were still a little scared.

If it were an ordinary person, Zhao Gong's palm just now would be enough to take his life, but Xiang Zhiwei jumped up again and rushed towards the crowd again without any fear.

The crowd calmed down and started fighting with Xiang Zhiwei. Between attack and defense, with sword and knife, Xiang Zhiwei's body soon showed various wounds.

During this period, every attack of Zhao Gong could create a big hole in Xiang Zhiwei's body, but only the head was unusually hard. After being hit by three palms, although the face collapsed, it did not look like it was about to explode.

But it is only a matter of time before Xiang Zhiwei is completely destroyed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gong gathered a ball of black water again, rushed over quickly, and slapped Xiang Zhiwei's head with one palm.

Suddenly, a gleam of light lit up in Xiang Zhiwei's cloudy eyes, and his originally stiff arms suddenly moved with palm power, emitting golden light. When Zhao Gong slapped down with his palm, Xiang Zhiwei also slapped Zhao Gong on the chest.

Snapped!

Zhao Gong's body flew backwards with a bang, and he was seriously injured as he was caught off guard.

On the other side, Xiang Zhiwei was like a living person, exhaling slowly, his true energy circulating, his flesh and blood twitching, and he was gradually recovering as before. Even the big hole in his chest was filled with new flesh and blood.

Zhao Gong looked horrified, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, and stared at Xiang Zhiwei, unable to speak.

Xiang Zhiwei was also a little confused. He looked at his pale palms, and his lips moved, and a hoarse human voice came out.

"I'm... so hungry."

Upon seeing this, everyone grabbed Zhao Gong and retreated repeatedly. This Xiang Zhiwei had a body of iron and steel and was already difficult to deal with, but now he could circulate his true energy like a living person. What should they do?

You know, Xiang Zhiwei was one of the strongest people on the ship, and only Zhao Gong could slightly suppress him. Now Zhao Gong was seriously injured due to carelessness. Who else can stop him?

He stretched his arms a little, exhaled gently again, then looked at everyone and spoke softly.

"Everyone, I had a dream."

"Oh, what dream?"

Suddenly, someone spoke softly, but the voice came from behind Xiang Zhiwei. Xiang Zhiwei was startled and turned around abruptly.

The next moment, a knife line flashed by, and before Xiang Zhiwei could see anything clearly, the light in front of his eyes completely disappeared.

Shi Gu, holding a long knife in his hand, passed by Xiang Zhiwei. After a few steps, a head rolled to his feet.

Chapter 25: Zombie (Part 2)

The long sword was as sharp as the night sky, without a drop of blood on it, and it lightly slashed across the deck. Shi Gu, with his long hair fluttering, walked past in a black robe.

The head rolled to Shi Gu's feet, its facial features were stunned, but it could no longer make any other expression. Perhaps before death, Xiang Zhiwei was unable to understand what had happened.

Today, he died twice.

The headless body did not twitch, but fell straight into the dust like a stone.

Shi Gu sheathed his knife, squatted beside Xiang Zhiwei's body, looked at it carefully, and whispered to himself.

"A living being after death? No...it should still be the original spirit, but the strength of the body has become stronger."

"Is it a zombie?"

Shi Gu was talking to himself, and the people not far away were looking at Shi Gu, silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.

The "Xiang Zhiwei" who had been besieged by them for half a day had his head chopped off by Shi Gu with a single blow. It was done so casually that even the dumbest person would know the gap between them and Shi Gu.

Shi Gu frowned, looked at Xiang Zhiwei's corpse, stretched out his finger, and stroked his chest.

His fingers were like knives. The body that could originally withstand swords and knives became like a piece of tofu under the bone-releasing fingers. It was cut open in one go, revealing the flesh and blood inside.

After releasing the bones and turning over the flesh, he examined it carefully for a long time, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Xiang Zhiwei's internal organs that were dug out did not regenerate, and under the new flesh and blood, there was only an empty shell. However, in his last moments, he was able to use his true energy and speak human words, and it was obvious that he had developed self-awareness.

With all these things, Shi Gu could only think of the great demon, the zombie, that the Buddhist master had mentioned.

Seven hundred years ago, the people in the ancient city were not poisoned, but a big demon came to the city. His name was Zhuang. Zhuang liked to eat people and was not afraid of water or fire. At the same time, anyone bitten by him would be transformed into an alternative existence called zombie.

Shi Gu had never seen a zombie, nor had he seen the zombies under his command. In fact, the big demon zombie had been killed by Master Foye seven hundred years ago, and his subordinate zombies have been dormant since then, recuperating and not daring to show their heads.

But why do these zombies dare to come out and eat people now?

Shi Gu's eyes were dark, and he thought of many things. He slowly stood up, waved his sleeves, and a murderous aura fell like a raging flame, turning Xiang Zhiwei's body into ashes.

When everyone saw this, they felt a chill in their bodies and their expressions became unnatural. Zhao Gong, who was seriously injured, smiled weakly and spoke first.

"Senior, have you found out anything?"

Shi Gu shook his head, glanced at the crowd, and spoke softly.

"I know a little bit, but it's too much trouble to explain, so I won't tell you."

If it had been earlier, someone would have come out to confront Shi Gu, but now everyone kept silent, not daring to show any expression, and just looked at Shi Gu in shock and fear.

Shi Gu suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked past the crowd, looked straight ahead, and spoke softly.

"What about Jin Buwan?"

Zhao Gong said weakly, supported by his master Jiu Shi.

"Young Master Jin is in a bad mood and has gone back to his room to rest. Senior, do you have anything to do with him?"

Shi Gu's expression gradually turned cold, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"In a bad mood? I think he should be jumping for joy right now."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, then they came to their senses and after careful thought, they all frowned. Zhao Gong was the same. He asked Shi Gu.

"Senior, do you mean that the ogre incident is related to Young Master Jin? If so, do you have any evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu's eyes darkened and he spoke slowly.

"I've always been curious about why he booked all the boats. I originally thought he wanted to make friends with you, but from what I've seen over the past two days, he hasn't deliberately tried to get closer to you."
