Chapter 643

Gritting his teeth, Mengqi nodded and said, "Senior Brother Qi, be careful."

Jiang Zhiwei had only taken the Recover Pill for less than an hour. If they acted now, their chances of success would be less than 10%. Qi Zhengyan, on the other hand, was luring the monster and the zombie away. Since the monster had no spiritual intelligence, there was at least a 30% chance that it could escape. This was equivalent to Jiang Zhiwei recovering her strength and joining forces to attack. It was also a way of survival in a desperate situation. Therefore, Meng Qi did not stop him after careful consideration.

Of course, the premise was that there were no other monsters on the path that Qi Zhengyan took. Judging from the current situation, it was a good choice.

"You lead it to the left." Penbo Erba pointed at Qi Zhengyan and said, which made Mengqi and the others gnash their teeth in anger.

After the fork, they could vaguely see the mountain path going up. Obviously, it was the first choice to go deep into the Holy Mountain, find the Buddhist temple, and search for treasures. Therefore, Penbo Erba asked Qi Zhengyan to lead the zombie to the left path.

Qi Zhengyan took a deep breath, lifted the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword, and carefully approached the zombie. The further he went, the stronger the Demon Aura and the Death Aura became, which made people tremble in fear.

Fortunately, the Dragon Power around him effectively suppressed the deterrence, so Qi Zhengyan could move freely. With every step he took, the hearts of Mengqi and the others would beat faster. They silently prayed to God for good luck.

As Qi Zhengyan was about three feet away, the zombie moved. Its hollow eyes glowed with a layer of red light. The Demon Aura and the Death Aura around it swelled, and its hands turned into bear paws.

With a swoosh, a white fog filled the air. Qi Zhengyan used the "White Cloud Smoke" to cover himself and hide his breath. He flashed past the zombie and ran to the left path.

As soon as he brushed past it and touched the Demon Aura, the zombie suddenly let out a bloodthirsty and ferocious roar. It subconsciously punched with its left fist. Black Qi condensed and the wind blew.

Chixia emerged from Qi Zhengyan's body and rotated around him like a blooming lotus to deflect the blow.

At the same time, he madly ran forward and changed directions.

The black Qi brushed past him and was deflected by Rosy Glow. It hit the ground and created a deep pit. Looking at it from a distance, it was hard to see the bottom.

Qi Zhengyan staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he did not slow down and continued running. The zombie roared and strode forward, chasing after him.

Meng Qi finally heaved a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the fact that monsters and zombies had no intelligence and relied on their instincts to punch, Qi Zhengyan wouldn't have been able to dodge the punch and use Rosy Afterglow Swing to deflect it. How dangerous!

When Qi Zhengyan and the Zombie Monster disappeared at the end of the path on the left, Murky hurried Meng Qi and the others forward.

When passing the fork, Mengqi looked sideways at the black crack and the storm on the left and said to himself, "Brother Qi, good luck. Maybe you're the only one who can make it back alive …"

Even if Jiang Zhiwei recovered, she did not have much hope of killing Penbo Erba because she had lost her right hand. She could only try her best.

After passing the fork, Mengqi and the others stepped on the mountain path and advanced to the top of Spirited Mountain.

The hurricane sometimes hit him in the face and sometimes hit him from behind. Qi Zhengyan's ears and mouth were filled with the sound of the wind, as if his nose was filled with wind.

But he did not care. He just avoided the black cracks and ran with all his might. He also used them to block the zombies behind him. After a while, the zombies without intelligence were gradually left behind. They were about to get rid of them.

At this moment, Qi Zhengyan suddenly stopped. Despair appeared on the zombie's emotionless face. There was a cliff in front of him. It was bottomless and filled with black cracks. If he fell, he would definitely die.

When he was escaping, he had made choices at several forks. But unexpectedly, he chose a dead end in the end!

"Is this God's arrangement? Is this my fate? "He looked back at the zombies and monsters that were getting closer and closer.

He was born in an ordinary family and had ordinary aptitude. He was an inconspicuous disciple in the sect. Would he be willing to see those talented senior and junior brothers and sisters being praised, improving their strength, becoming famous, and being pursued by others?

Would he be willing to endure the years, live in poverty, and only become the most inconspicuous in Jianghu after many years?

Would he be willing to be entangled with all kinds of trifles and difficulties? He did not have enough money. His wife complained but he was powerless to change it. He could only be ordinary and pin his hopes on his children. He no longer had much to do with himself.

Would he be willing to die here? It was not easy to have the opportunity of reincarnation. He obtained magic skills, elixirs, and weapons that he could not even dream of in the past. His strength improved rapidly and he almost entered the Ranking List of Young Masters. He was about to stand out. He was free to repay kindness and hatred. He was full of hope for the future. But because of God's arrangement, his fate was doomed. He was about to die here. Would he be willing to die here?

His voice echoed and questioned his heart. Some of his past perseverance was gradually collapsing.

No! I am not willing!

If it is God's arrangement, I will kill my way to heaven! If it is fate, I will reverse the cause and effect!

Qi Zhengyan's eyes suddenly turned red.

…

There were dark cracks and dragon-like storms on both sides of the mountain road. The rocks of the Buddha's Pure Land were blown like flour. Mengqi and the others avoided the void cracks in the middle of the road and climbed up.

Seeing that they were about to reach a flat land, Mengqi stopped. There was a giant snake, almost as tall as a small mountain, coiled there.

This giant snake was also full of Death Qi and Demonic Qi. There was a yellowish decaying liquid flowing on the surface of its body. Its bones were exposed and traces of black gas were flowing.

"Snake Dang …" Penbo Erba recognized this giant snake.

It was a good friend of its former master, the Nine-headed Bug. It was only one step away from condensing the Real Body of the Snake-like Snake. Later, it followed the Nine-headed Bug to Spirited Mountain and disappeared. Unexpectedly, it died here.

As for the cause of death, Penbo Erba could not tell that Snake Dang had decayed to such an extent.

"It's also become a haunting dead thing …" Meng Qi was a half-baked monk after all. He noticed that this giant snake had also turned into a corpse, just like the monster from before.

But Spirited Mountain was a pure land, not a place where Yin Qi gathered. It was understandable that some monsters would turn into zombies after death because of their special skills. But why did all the monsters turn into zombies?

Could it be that the war had changed the law of heaven and earth here?

"You, go and lead it away." Seeing Snake Dang, Penbo Erba's legs turned to jelly. He did not have the courage to fight it. Besides, Snake Dang's Precious Weapon was not with him. Even if he risked his life to kill it, it would be meaningless. So he pointed to Luo Shengyi and asked him to come forward.

It had only been an hour since Jiang Zhiwei took the elixir. With the precedent of killing Qi Zhengyan, Luo Shengyi's strength had recovered a lot. Simply leading the monster away was more likely than killing Penbo Erba. So he pondered for a moment and signaled Mengqi not to rush and stood up.

Luring the monster now was better than luring it later. If they went any further, they might encounter monsters at the Demon King or Arhat level!

Seeing that Luo Shengyi had made up his mind, Mengqi did not say much and wished him good luck.

Luo Shengyi's Lightness Skill was not outstanding. He did not have "White Cloud Smoke" or "Rosy Afterglow Swing", so he had to be more careful.

When he was close, he picked up a stone and flicked it at the back of Snake Dang. Wrapped in genuine Qi, the stone flew over Snake Dang and landed on the ground with a thud.

Snake Dang moved. Its eyes were like two lanterns, red and frightening. It turned its head and spat out a mouthful of venom. The stone rotted and turned into liquid, leaving a hole in the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Luo Shengyi ran past it as fast as a frightened horse and went straight to the right.

Snake Dang loosened its coiled body and occupied the road. It chased after Luo Shengyi with a rustling sound. After a while, Snake Dang's tail finally left.

"Let's go!" Penbo Erba seized the opportunity. With a wave, he rushed through the pass with the other three. In the distance, the Buddhist temple came into view.

Luo Shengyi ran all the way and changed his direction when he encountered a fork in the road. When he found a hidden gap, he hid in it directly, held his breath, and restrained his breath.

Snake Dang's lantern-like red eyes approached. Luo Shengyi held his breath. He could hold his breath for a long time because his Nine Acupores were opened and his internal circulation was formed.

The huge head of the snake swayed to the gap. Luo Shengyi's heart almost stopped beating. Then it swayed to the gap. Without intelligence, its sensitivity to things was greatly reduced.

Until Snake Dang was far away, Luo Shengyi breathed a long sigh of relief. He was lucky. It had been like this in the last Death Task, and it would be the same next time. All he had to do was hide here and wait for his return.

Suddenly, a chill came from behind. Luo Shengyi rushed forward without thinking. He saw a white-haired monster coming out of the gap. Its teeth were bared and it made a hissing sound.

Luo Shengyi rolled on the ground and was about to run away when he found that the white-haired monster was blocking his way and he could see Snake Dang's tail on the other side.

"My luck is gone, my luck is gone …"

"I'm just a Rogue Cultivator without a sect. I've been struggling and going through hardships to get to where I am today. My name is on the Ranking List of Young Masters. How can I die here?"

"How can I accept this?"

"Samsara tasks, difficulties, and obstacles. Compared with the disciples of the big sects, my resources and aptitude are much worse. I have to be cautious, desperate, and self-centered. But all my efforts are for nothing today?"

"I can't accept this!"

Luo Shengyi shouted in his heart. He stared at the white-haired monster and punched with all his strength with his right fist.

This punch was strong, heavy, and towering. It was like a mountain pressing down and suddenly bent the white-haired monster's legs.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided and a strong wind blew. The white-haired monster took a step back and Luo Shengyi's right fist was broken.

"Chance!" He habitually punched with his left fist to force the white-haired monster away and run away. But his body was empty and he had no strength left. His left fist was as soft as a lover's whining.

He had not recovered from his injury and strength, so he could only do what he did just now …

The white-haired monster roared and did not dodge. It threw itself on Luo Shengyi and sank its teeth into Luo Shengyi's neck.

"I can't accept this!" There was only one voice in Luo Shengyi's heart.

"I can't accept this!"

It was completely silent.

…

Many Buddhist temples came into view. Mengqi and the others walked for more than an hour before they found a half-collapsed Buddhist temple. Only the Mahavira Hall was still standing.

"Go in and search." Penbo Erba's eyes lit up and he ordered Jiang Zhiwei.

Jiang Zhiwei walked out silently. She made eye contact with Mengqi and nodded slightly.

"My injury is healed. I can start now!"
