Chapter 324 Xiaorui, you've arrived just in time!
"Spatial Warp - Initiate!"
The surrounding scenery distorted into blurry light and shadow—the next second, Lin Feng's feet touched solid ground.
He was already standing inside the coffin. Lin Feng waved his right hand, and the Silent Bone Short Blade fell into his palm.
Without any hesitation, he slashed the blade hard with his left index finger.
As the blood gushed out and touched the blade, a faint golden light shone from the gray-white blade.
Lin Feng gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, aimed it at Zhou Hu's heart, and plunged it in hard!
"laugh--!"
The moment the silent bone dagger pierced the heart, it seemed to pierce through a layer of solidified darkness.
Zhou Hu's body convulsed violently, and a muffled and shrill explosion came from his chest. His body, which was originally as stiff as dead iron, instantly broke open with countless fine black lines under the dual impact of Lin Feng's supreme yang blood energy and the power of the Demon-Slaying Blade.
The cracks spread rapidly, and the century-old stiff body could no longer hold on. It began to disintegrate inch by inch from its chest, turning into large pieces of paper ash that peeled off and rose up, silently dissolving in mid-air.
The previously condensed black and red humanoid evil energy immediately lost its foundation. After a period of chaotic turmoil, it dissipated outwards in wisps, like a thick fog swept by a gale, and was swept away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
But in the last instant before Zhou Hu completely dissipated, a wisp of residual evil energy suddenly drifted toward the white ape skeleton tightly bound by five copper chains.
"Click~"
The chains came loose on their own.
The white ape suddenly raised its lowered head, and two eerie green flames suddenly lit up in its empty eye sockets.
Zhou Hu's last words echoed faintly in the tomb: "Kill...they..."
The white ape's remains moved.
Its prostrate, kneeling posture instantly straightened, and a series of stiff, ear-piercing creaking sounds emanated from its back.
Five thick copper chains slid down with a rustling sound and crashed heavily onto the floor tiles.
The next moment, the white ape transformed into a pale afterimage and pounced straight at Lin Feng inside the coffin!
Tang Xiaofu's pupils contracted sharply. With a shout, she stepped forward to block, her short blade firmly pressed against the white ape's bony arm.
Unexpectedly, several cracks suddenly appeared around the skeleton, and the torso twisted in a bizarre way that defied common sense, sliding out from her side, leaving only a skeletal arm wrapped around her weapon.
The main body of the skeleton rose into the air, its withered bones and sharp claws aimed straight for Lin Feng's nape!
Lin Feng had his back to it, having just completed the final blow, and was completely exhausted, leaving him no time to react.
"Lin Feng—!!!"
Tang Xiaofu cried out in alarm, desperately trying to break free, but was tightly entangled by the skeletal arm and unable to escape for a moment.
The white ape's sharp claws tore through the air and stabbed fiercely towards the back of Lin Feng's neck!
That area was completely unprotected, not covered by Lin Feng's armor.
If that claw strike lands firmly, Lin Feng will surely die.
The sharp claws drew closer and closer to the back of his neck: a foot, half a foot, three inches, an inch...
The biting cold sent shivers down my spine and raised a patch of goosebumps.
Lin Feng could even clearly feel death slowly creeping up his spine toward the back of his head.
But that fatal claw ultimately did not fall.
"hiss--"
A strand of hair became entangled in the white ape's wrist.
No, not just one—it's countless.
At the entrance to the tomb, a figure stood there, seemingly out of nowhere.
That's a woman.
Her black hair exploded wildly in an instant, like living black tentacles, growing and extending wildly, covering more than ten meters in an instant, tightly wrapping around the white ape's skeleton from top to bottom.
Each strand of hair was as tough as tempered steel wire, digging deep into the gaps in the white bone, pinning the white ape firmly in mid-air, unable to move.
The ghostly green flames in the white ape's eye sockets flickered violently as it struggled desperately, but it could not break free from the seemingly delicate strands of hair that bound it.
Tang Xiaofu finally shattered the ape-like hand on her arm, looked up, and her pupils suddenly flashed—
"Sister...my younger sister?!"
At the entrance to the tomb chamber, Tang Xiaorui emanated a faint silver light.
Her hair still stretched out as if alive, tightly entwining the white ape's skeleton.
She smiled slightly at Tang Xiaofu: "Still standing there? Make your move!"
Tang Xiaofu snapped back to reality instantly.
She interlaced her fingers, her fingertips rapidly forming a strange hand seal in front of her, a faint, cold black light gradually emanating from between her fingers.
After the black light solidified for a moment, she pointed in mid-air, aiming straight for the white ape's forehead—
"The Yin Pact, released!"
The wisp of black light pierced straight into the white ape's empty eye sockets. Two eerie green ghost flames flickered violently in the white ape's eye sockets, emitting sharp hisses, and finally went out completely with a "poof".
The white ape's skeleton instantly lost all its power, collapsing limply to the ground like a doll whose battery had been removed.
The strands of hair that were wrapped around it slowly loosened, receded back onto Tang Xiaorui's head, and returned to normal long hair.
Tang Xiaorui swayed and barely managed to stand by holding onto the door frame.
Lin Feng rolled out of the coffin, rushed to Tang Xiaorui, picked her up, and spun her around.
"Xiaorui, you arrived just in time!"
Tang Xiaorui's cheeks flushed slightly as he turned her around. She gently patted his shoulder and looked at Tang Xiaofu beside her.
"My right eyelid has been twitching, and I'm worried that my sister won't take good care of you..."
"As expected, even in that dangerous situation, she didn't think to use spatial warp to get you out of there first!"
Lin Feng quickly spoke up to help Tang Xiaofu out of the predicament:
"Don't say that. Sister Xiaofu just used spatial teleportation, so she was very exhausted. Besides, the white ape's attack was sudden. Anyone would have been caught off guard. It's normal."
Tang Xiaorui's gaze suddenly sharpened and landed directly on his lips.
"Why is there a red mark on your lips?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and Tang Xiaofu both jolted awake.
Those were the marks left from their kiss just now, and now that they've been exposed, the atmosphere has instantly become extremely awkward.
Lin Feng quickly explained, "I bit my lip because I used too much force when I killed Zhou Hu."
Tang Xiaorui tiptoed closer, her nose almost touching his: "Where did you bite? Let me see."
Lin Feng pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to press his forehead against hers:
"It's inside the lips, not obvious. Now that you're here, darling, give me a little reward."
Before he could finish speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Tang Xiaorui's cheeks flushed instantly, but she didn't struggle. She simply closed her eyes gently and obediently immersed herself in the sudden kiss.
Tang Xiaofu silently turned her face away, her fingers hanging at her sides unconsciously tightening slightly.
The kiss lasted for a moment, then he slowly released Tang Xiaorui, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes—his energy had not recovered at all.
Sure enough, the special ability that gave him incredible endurance and rapid recovery was only possessed by Tang Xiaofu!
Just then, the snow mountain white eagle raised its head and let out a clear and long cry. With a flap of its wings, its huge figure took off into the air, circled once, and then gradually faded away as if it had merged into the void.
Lin Feng looked up at the receding figure, gently waved his hand, and spoke casually as if bidding farewell to an old friend:
"You've worked hard. Next time we meet, I'll bring you something delicious!"
A faint, clear cry came from the air, as if in response.
