Roar!!

Dragon roars echoed endlessly as a mental storm swept out from the dragon corpse, charging straight for the Bagua Mirror!

The thunderclouds in the sky broke free of Spider-Woman's control and rapidly dissipated; those terrifying bolts of lightning were completely shattered by the mental storm before they could even unleash!

Ugh, ahhhhh!

Spider-Woman was somewhat frantic; she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue her attack!

The Xun trigram lit up, and invisible wind blades rapidly condensed, yet before they could even form, they were blasted apart!

The surrounding wind elements seemed to have another master, entirely ignoring Spider-Woman's control.

Spider-Woman splayed her spider legs and her hair danced wildly!

She was still desperately driving her mental power, trying to wrest back control of the wind elements.

A Spirit Form was no longer constrained by physical flesh, and her mental power had progressed extremely quickly. Judging solely by her mental power, her level could reach that of a Soul Saint!

"Ahhhhhhh!! Move, damn it!!"

The flesh on Spider-Woman's body showed faint signs of disintegrating.

She was nearing her limit.

Splat!

A young girl's chuckle suddenly rang out from within the Undead Demiplane.

Clang!!

The Bagua Mirror was directly shattered by the powerful mental impact.

"Ah!!"

Spider-Woman was filled with shock and terror. It felt as though her bones were being crushed, and the flesh all over her body continuously sloughed off.

Roar!!

Another dragon roar sounded, accompanied by a mental strike, and cracks appeared across all eight trigrams of the Bagua Mirror.

Crack! Snap! Smash!

The cracks spread continuously, and the entire wooden board split apart, reducing to a pile of shattered wood on the ground.

The mirror inside shattered over and over again, turning into tiny fragments, each piece reflecting Spider-Woman's terrified expression!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, faster than the four vctcn teams getting 0-20'd.

Ji Feng didn't react at all.

Spider-Woman shrieked unceasingly, as if enduring excruciating agony.

From amidst the wreckage of the Bagua Mirror, a plume of white smoke rose, drifting toward the nostrils of the dragon corpse before being sucked into its body.

The dragon corpse opened its eyes, its crimson vertical pupils staring right at Ji Feng.

Borrowing the red light within those crimson pupils, Ji Feng saw clearly the wreckage of the Bagua Mirror on the ground, and cold sweat instantly soaked straight through his back.

The young girl's voice sounded once more.

"La-la-la~"

"Big brother, don't bring bad women from outside back home, oh. It's more than enough for just me to wait on you.

I'm here waiting for you at home every day; big brother, don't play outside with other women for so long. Remember to come home, I've already drawn a basin of foot-washing water for you, so soak your feet well~"

This time Ji Feng heard it completely clearly; that young girl's voice was coming directly from the dragon corpse.

Beneath that silvery, crisp voice, Ji Feng quietly activated the Blood Gate.

Flee!

Just how ferocious Spider-Woman was, Ji Feng had seen long ago; he had almost died at the hands of this insidious Spirit Form.

Yet this resurrected dragon corpse was far more dangerous than that Spider-Woman.

"Big brother, where are you going to play? Remember to take the trash out, the house needs to be neat and clean."

Pretending not to hear, Ji Feng pushed open the door and prepared to leave.

"Big brother! Hurry up and take the trash away, don't make the house all stinky!"

The sweat on Ji Feng's back grew heavier and heavier, soaking through completely.

If he didn't clear away all the trash, the dragon corpse would definitely use a mental storm to take his life right then and there.

Under duress, Ji Feng activated his Dragon Pupil, cleaning up the trash within the Undead Demiplane amidst the darkness.

Ji Feng had lived here for three days: the clothes he had changed out of, the scraps of skin peeled from the dragon corpse, and his own vomit from just a moment ago.

Packing all the trash together, Ji Feng finally dared to step through the Blood Gate and return to the cellar.

Arriving in the cellar, Ji Feng let out a long breath.

Had a mutation occurred?

Could this dragon corpse, tainted by the demonic power within the Undead Demiplane, have birthed a new consciousness?

It couldn't possibly be the original ritual of the Red-Eyed Silver Dragon King; since it had already sacrificed itself to him, its consciousness couldn't possibly have been preserved.

No matter how Ji Feng thought about it, he couldn't make sense of it.

No, once he reached the Sun Moon Empire later, he would have to find someone who studied Soul Beasts to ask about this.

Ji Feng walked out of the cellar and tossed the trash aside casually. Suddenly, he felt as though someone was watching him.

Clatter-clatter-clatter!

The sound of white bones grinding against each other echoed endlessly from underground.

Something was wrong!

Alarm bells rang fiercely in Ji Feng's heart!

He needed to get out of here quickly!

Ji Feng had just thought to use Dragon Shadow Strike to swiftly exit the backyard when a skeleton suddenly appeared at the front gate, blocking his path!

Its skeleton was tall and large, and it held a curved blade in its hand.

It was that man from the Holy Spirit Cult!

He could use that curved blade too!

Wasn't he buried in the ground?

How did he come back?

He wasn't the only skeleton; behind this skeleton, quite a few white bones roamed back and forth.

The sound of "clatter-clatter-clatter" came from behind once more. Ji Feng looked back to inspect and saw two skeletons stuck in the window frame, grinding against each other.

There were also countless skeletons pacing around the courtyard; some skeletons smashed a hole through the surrounding wall, forcing their way in and getting themselves stuck so firmly they couldn't move.

Every single skeleton had crawled out from the earth.

What was going on!

After thinking for a few seconds, Ji Feng knew the answer.

These skeletons had previously been controlled by Spider-Woman, used by her to hunt down victims for slaughter.

Now that Spider-Woman was dead, they had lost control.

Clearly, they were extremely interested in the living, and Ji Feng-a fully living human-had completely stirred their appetite!

The curved blade hacked straight toward Ji Feng, and he dodged continuously.

He wasn't afraid of the curved blade; he was afraid of being swallowed by a sea of skeletons!

Without the Blade of Life and with Electrolux still asleep, he didn't know even half an undead spell.

If he were swallowed by the skeleton sea, he would undoubtedly be drained of his Soul Power and die.

Though his Soul Power reserves were substantial, they weren't infinite either.

Dodging the curved blade's hacking attacks, Ji Feng searched for a way out.

Until he was pressed against the corner of the wall, Ji Feng had nowhere left to retreat.

Retreat back into the Undead Demiplane?

Yet this gang of skeletons was also controlled by Spirit Forms, meaning they could see the Blood Gate just as well.

What if they all rushed in together?

Besides, Ji Feng relied on fresh blood to locate the Douluo Continent, and these skeletons loved drinking blood!

If his blood were completely drained, Ji Feng would be trapped within the Undead Demiplane forever.

There was no other choice; he had to charge through by force!

Dragon Shadow Strike!

Covering a distance of five meters, Ji Feng sprinted directly toward the manor's front gate.

As a result, the surrounding skeletons had all vanished?

They left?

The moment he used a Soul Skill, they left?

Scared off by dragon might?

Impossible, they weren't Soul Beasts!

Ji Feng could still sense danger.

He prepared to bolt outside, only to see a crowd of skeletons blocking his path, led by none other than the blade-wielding skeleton!

Another slash came down, and Ji Feng sidestepped to avoid it.

The blade wind pierced straight into the ground, striking the trash Ji Feng had discarded earlier.

A bag of trash spilled across the ground, and various miscellaneous items tumbled out right before the skeletons.

All the skeletons stopped dead in their tracks, as if struck by lightning.

They seemed to have beheld a great terror.

It was the shattered Bagua Mirror!

This Bagua Mirror was Spider-Woman's relic.

The skeletons rapidly retreated, pulling back like a receding tide.

Seizing the opportunity, Ji Feng picked up a fragment of the Bagua Mirror, which bore the Kun trigram pattern.

Why grab the Kun trigram? Because Ji Feng was a ten-year old-fan of chicken-gege, and he believed chicken-gege would bless him.

Grasping the Kun Trigram Mirror Fragment in his hand, Ji Feng charged forward continuously, attempting to break through the skeletons' encirclement.

Yet they quickly halted their retreat.

They stood in place, empty eye sockets staring fixedly at Ji Feng.
