Chapter 133: Witch VS Skeleton Demon
Clatter!
Covered in injuries, Gu Zi Yun crawled out of the pile of gravel. Touching the scratches on her face caused by the gravel, she put her finger in her mouth, sucking the bloodstain she got. Her pure, large eyes looked innocently at Sloan in his lizard form before her.
"Ne, Uncle, do you still want to fight?!"
Holding her finger in her mouth, she gestured towards the Outside…
At this moment, the gunfire inside the Ancient Castle had gradually ceased. Conversely, scattered gunfire was now gradually coming from Outside the Ancient Castle, getting closer and closer.
"Uncle, you probably don't want the Federal Army to see you like this, right!"
Gu Zi Yun said as she walked, arriving before the silver briefcase that had fallen during their fight. She lifted her head, bent down, and picked up the briefcase.
"Ne, if there's nothing else, Uncle, then goodbye!"
Holding the briefcase in one hand, Gu Zi Yun waved at Sloan with a polite gesture, a friendly and cheerful smile, and bright eyes.
If not for the bloodstains all over her face, she would look just like any ordinary South Korean high school girl.
"A polite good kid, but I've already given my Boss my word. When you get old, only credit matters! I can't disappoint the Boss!"
Gu Zi Yun, who had just turned to leave, stopped in her tracks, hearing the voice behind her.
She turned back, looking at Sloan, who had somehow already returned to his human form.
"Uncle, do you want to fight again?"
Sloan tugged at the tattered rags on his body. Under Gu Zi Yun's puzzled gaze, he slipped a string of beads off his wrist.
The beads, carved from high-quality Hetian Seed Jade, emitted a warm jade glow under the Passage lights.
This kind of Hetian Jade, almost reaching the color of mutton fat white jade, carved into beads...
Any expert who saw even one would feel it was a waste of heavenly materials.
Sloan twirled the string of beads he had specifically spent money to assemble. Amidst the crisp sound of the jade colliding, his finger quickly pressed onto a jade bead with a skull pattern.
"Uncle, this bracelet of yours is quite nice. It didn't even break when you turned so big!"
Gu Zi Yun teased, but a hint of wary flashed in her eyes. Her feet, however, kept moving backward!
From her developed sense of smell, she detected a dangerous aura from Sloan's string of beads.
Sloan bit his tongue-tip, spitting a mouthful of tongue-tip blood onto the white jade skull bone bead.
"Crack crack!"
The skull pattern on the white jade bone bead in Sloan's hand seemed to come alive. The skull pattern on it moved, and the sound of bone friction kept coming.
Clatter—
Along with the clatter of the white jade string of beads scattering across the ground, a skeleton demon over two meters tall appeared out of thin air, bringing a gust of phosphorous fire black wind, and lunged straight at Gu Zi Yun.
"Ah xi, what kind of ghost is this!?"
Gu Zi Yun looked at the skeleton demon lunging at her. With a wave of her palm, several pieces of gravel floated up and smacked against the skeleton demon with a series of crackling sounds.
*Clap clap clap clap…!* Some of the gravel hit the skeleton demon's bone, making a series of dull sounds.
Some passed directly through the gaps in its ribs.
However, it was clear that these stones caused no damage to this skeleton whatsoever.
The skeleton demon was surrounded by phosphorous fire black wind, like a grim reaper returned from Hell. In an instant, it arrived before Gu Zi Yun.
As its skull opened and closed, a blast of poison smoke mixed with phosphorous fire black wind shot towards Gu Zi Yun's face.
The refining of a skeleton demon requires the bones of those who died violently as materials, condensing countless fierce souls and vicious spirits, and killing countless living beings to be refined.
The poison smoke it sprays contains corpse poison, which is fatal to anyone who inhales it. For every living being it kills, it can devour their soul. The longer the time, the greater its ferocity.
Although Gu Zi Yun didn't know how formidable the skeleton demon's poison smoke was, she knew she couldn't take it head-on.
She leaned back, her palm grabbing towards the side. The unlucky guard whose neck she had stabbed with a knife earlier was now in shock, not yet completely dead.
He was grabbed by her through psychokinesis and pulled in front of her, acting as a shield.
Whoosh! The skeleton demon sprayed a mouthful of phosphorous fire black wind poison smoke onto the unlucky guard's face.
The guard's body, in shock, twitched, and his entire body went limp.
Inhale! The skeleton demon opened its mouth wide, sucking the poison smoke composed of black wind and phosphorous fire back into its mouth.
In the black wind, Gu Zi Yun vaguely saw a phantom resembling the guard struggling constantly…
"So what Mom said is true… do people really have souls?"
Gu Zi Yun was somewhat lost in thought. By the time she reacted, a skeleton arm had already pierced through the corpse of the guard in front of her, its five sharp bone claws reaching for her chest.
Hiss! Gu Zi Yun barely reacted, dodging as much as she could, but the skeleton demon's sharp claws still left five bloodstains on her back.
Gu Zi Yun rolled over and quickly leaped into the nearby Laboratory, casually closing the Laboratory's bulletproof glass door.
Leaning against the wall, she touched her injured back.
Opening her palm, the blood on her fingers was faintly black and carried a fishy, foul smell.
"It's poisonous!"
Gu Zi Yun didn't show any expression of fear. Only when she looked down at the briefcase in her hand did she show a hint of disappointment.
Pfft!
Gu Zi Yun rolled and lunged forward. Five sharp bone fingers were slowly retracting from the wall she had just been leaning against.
Through the five holes in the wall, Gu Zi Yun could clearly see the skeleton demon's ribs, which were as white as jade.
Pfft!
Pfft!
The skeleton demon's sharp bone claws stabbed into the wall repeatedly.
The 30MM thick concrete experiment wall, built to high specifications, was not much stronger than tofu in front of its claws.
Seeing the Laboratory wall being dug out with a hole the size of a human head, Gu Zi Yun waved her hand. From the Laboratory tool rack, over a dozen scalpels and medical scissors floated up. Swish swish swish swish…
Amidst bursts of the sound of breaking air, these tools shot out through the holes…
Pfft!
The skeleton demon paused only for a moment before its five sharp claws plunged into the wall again.
Hiss! Just as the skeleton demon extended its claws, Gu Zi Yun dropped to one knee and slid towards the wall.
On the way, she casually picked up a metal chair used to restrain experiment subjects…
Bang! Gu Zi Yun lifted the metal chair, weighing dozens of pounds, and swung it fiercely at the five bone fingers the skeleton demon had just inserted.
Crack!
With the addition of Gu Zi Yun's great strength and psychokinesis, the metal chair was directly dented.
The skeleton demon's five bone fingers, hard as metal and iron, were forcibly bent at the knuckles by her blow, drooping down.
"So even a ghost god can get injured!"
A hint of crazy smile appeared at the corner of Gu Zi Yun's mouth. Using the bent metal leg of the metal chair, she clamped onto the skeleton demon's drooping bone claw and twisted back with all her might.
Bang!
Just as the skeleton demon's bone claw was cracking under Gu Zi Yun's twist, a hollow bullet arced out from the round hole the skeleton demon had made and accurately hit Gu Zi Yun's arm.
The drug effect of the high-strength anesthetic bullet instantly made Gu Zi Yun's vision blurry. She knelt on the ground, and with a clang, the heavy experiment chair in her hand fell beside her.
Hiss! Using her last bit of consciousness, Gu Zi Yun picked up a scalpel that had fallen nearby and fiercely stabbed it into her thigh.
The intense pain instantly sobered Gu Zi Yun up.
She struggled to get up, holding the briefcase! Bang!
After a gunshot, Gu Zi Yun fell heavily onto the ground.
...…
"I should have known not to use such expensive beads. They're too much trouble to find!"
Looking at the mutton fat white jade beads in his hand, counting them repeatedly, still missing a few.
A hint of pain flashed in Sloan's eyes. The money for the beads was earned from his hard work taking orders and murder.
Hearing the faint footsteps from Outside, he held the bone bead and white jade beads in his hand.
Taking a deep breath, Sloan transformed into his tall lizard form, grabbed the unconscious Gu Zi Yun with a large hand, and leaped upstairs in a few steps.
"Mu mu mu… Mu Bei…"
Just as Sloan disappeared, a group of Federal G.I.s crashed through the Gate of the Ancient Castle. Several flashbang grenades and concussion grenades were thrown in first.
After a burst of strong light, there was the sound of Federal G.I.s charging.
Thank you, everyone. After I asked for monthly tickets, they increased by over two hundred, nearly three hundred.
Two chapters today, over 7000 words. I wrote the fighting scenes several times and wasn't satisfied, so I revised them a few times. I'm working these two days and don't have to watch the kids, so I can slack off and code words! Thank you, everyone!
