Chapter 147: The Fire Of Revenge

Chapter 147: The Fire Of Revenge

The invasion of the evil spirits had reached a worrisome stage when the seal was completely broken.

All the players who were exploring with their respective parties, were either ambushed and killed by the Evil Troopa or struggling to survive as they made their ways back to the Mansion of the Dead.

Many players were taken aback by the significant yet unexpected increase in the difficulty of the survival mode.

Now, Hu He’s reputation as the malignant player had been made famous across the server. He was deemed by the players as an antagonist who was more terrifying than the Ghost King, and had become public enemy number one in the game.

However, the increase in the difficulty had also united the players once again. They began to assemble at the safe zone of the Mansion of the Dead to discuss how to destroy the Zombie Energy Pillar and how to survive through this crisis.

After the discussion, the players decided that it was time for the Beiqi Army of millions of soldiers to go to war again.

At this moment, the members of the Myth Guild, who destroyed the seal, together with Hu He and the rest, were carrying Hiderigami’s body as they headed for the Cliffs of Desperation.

Everyone seemed excited when they arrived at the cliffs.

They found a secluded place after they left Evil Nightmare City for Hu He to temper Hiderigami.

Initially, Hu He was extremely confident. However, he began to despair after multiple attempts.

As his character class had been digitised, there was a progress bar on top of him as he tempered the dead body.

When he tempered the skull, the value of the progress bar was slowly increasing.

However, when he tempered Hiderigami, he made absolutely no progress. Although he had applied all the methods that he’d learned from the ancient books, with his current ability, he could never temper Hiderigami, the elitest of the Ghost Emperor Realm.

Eventually, Hu He gave up as he could not even break Hiderigami’s defenses, let alone temper him completely.

In fact, he had thought of collecting some herbs that were mentioned in the ancient books to help with the tempering. Yet, his idea was denied by Gu Yu.

Gu Yu reckoned that, with the players’ current abilities and Hiderigami’s strong physique, there was no way the players could defeat him.

Yet, he knew there was a certain place to bring Hiderigami to. At that place, it would no longer be an issue to break Hiderigami’s defense.

Having to carry Hiderigami’s heavy body, they were worn out. During the journey, Little Sha had also helped them a couple of times. However, they still had no idea how to carry Hiderigami up the mountain. The journey was thrilling as Gu Yu and his crew were surrounded by innumerable lingering evils. Without the help of the Loose Zombie Powder, they could have been easily swamped by evil.

When they were halfway up the mountain, Gu Yu waved his hand, gesturing the team to take a rest.

Upon getting the signal, the team immediately let go of Hiderigami’s body, causing it to fall violently onto the ground.

He took a peek at the Attributes Menu and noticed the red alert on their endurance. Gu Yu wiped off his sweat before he took out some food from his personal channel.

“Have some food, everyone. Our endurance has turned red and we still have a long way to go.”

The rest of the team followed suit and took out their food. They found a place to rest before they began to fill their stomachs.

“Boss, apparently there’s a hut and it seems occupied!” the guild members exclaimed as they discovered the white-haired old man’s hut.

Knowing the place rather well, Gu Yu nodded before he strode toward the hut.

The dog saw what was happening, immediately released its bite grip on Hu He, and followed closely behind Gu Yu.

When he arrived at the front door of the hut, Gu Yu gave it a thought before he reached out to knock on the door.

“Old man, are you there?”

A moment later, the door was slowly opened before the disgusted face of the white-haired old man was revealed.

“Young boy, you’re bored and want to hike again?”

The bulging veins on Gu Yu’s forehead throbbed and pulsated.

“I happened to pass by and wanted to pay you a visit.”

“Now that you’ve seen me, can I shut my door already?”

The white-haired old man’s mean reply had taken Gu Yu aback. He regretted deeply having knocked on the old man’s door for no good reason.

“Hey! Isn’t this the dog? Why? You want to have another fight with me?” the white-haired old man suddenly noticed Sun Qi’s presence.

“I’m not afraid of you! The one who gets drunk first is the loser!” Sun Qi, who refused to take things lying down, snapped at the old man.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu glared at Sun Qi, “Drink the wine and see what will happen.”

Sun Qi was immediately intimidated by Gu Yu’s words. He vaguely remembered how he infuriated Gu Yu the last time he was drunk.

Although Sun Qi wished to taste the white-haired old man’s wine again, he understood that they had more important business to attend to. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up the wine.

At this moment, a silhouette appeared at the doorstep. Little Sha stared at the white-haired old man, appearing stunned.

“I think I’ve seen you somewhere before!” Little Sha, who seemed startled, exclaimed.

“Where?” the white-haired old man narrowed his eyes.

“I’ve no idea and I can’t recall anything. However, my instinct tells me that I should be afraid of you.”

Little Sha raised his quivering hand as he spoke, as if he was trying to prove his statement.

Both Gu Yu and Sun Qi were rendered speechless.

“Can you guys stop acting like fools? Have the evil spirits polluted your brains with their zombie energy?”

The white-haired old man stared at Little Sha as though he, who was still quivering and appearing extremely frightened, was a madman.

“They’re real fools!” a disappointed sigh came from the distance.

Everyone turned to find the source of the voice, only to see Hiderigami, who was still lying on the ground, looking in their direction.

When the crowd was dispersed, Hiderigami could finally take a good look at the white-haired old man’s face. Immediately, Hiderigami put on a somber expression.

“You…”

Slap!

A clear and loud slap resonated across the atmosphere. The onlookers were shocked to find a red slap mark on the cheek of Hiderigami, who was supposed to be indestructible.

The slap, which appeared out of nowhere, had absolutely stunned Hiderigami. When he finally regained his composure, he seemed enraged.

“You…”

Slap!

The shadow of another palm was born out of thin hair before it struck across Hiderigami’s cheek mercilessly, causing his head to reel.

At that moment, the white-haired old man’s voice rang in Hiderigami’s head.

“Do you believe that I’ll kill you if you make another heedless statement?”

Although Hiderigami was furious for being threatened, he remained quiet, knowing that this old man truly had the ability to kill him.

He knew that the old man, just like himself, had also achieved the Ghost Emperor Realm. Therefore, he might not even be able to defeat the old man even if he was at the peak realm.

Gu Yu and the rest were stunned by the scene, not knowing where the slaps came from.

As they pondered the questions, they turned to gaze at the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man wore a solemn expression.

“It seems like the power of the Demonic God. I reckon that the Demonic God’s seal has become loose.”

Gu Yu was flustered.

He then asked in a skeptical manner, “It’s really the Demonic God?”

“I suppose it’s the Demonic God. Otherwise, how did the energy come from nowhere?” the white-haired old man experienced no flushed cheeks and palpitation as he lied, as if he was merely stating the fact.

The old man’s statement further confused Gu Yu. Although the shadow of the palm appeared when Hiderigami was staring at the white-haired old man, it seemed like the languid and weak old man did not have the ability to hurt Hiderigami physically.

“Anyway, don’t disturb me. I need to sleep now. There are evil spirits everywhere out there. So, stay on your guard.”

The white-haired old man took a glance at the crowd and his eyes eventually fixed on Hiderigami. He gave Hiderigami a menacing glare before he returned to the hut and conveniently shut the door behind him.

A grin appeared on the white-haired old man’s face after he entered the hut.

“The evil spirits, Mu Zhiguang, and Hiderigami have all appeared. It’s getting merrier now. I am anticipating a good show! Hehe!”

At that instant, Gu Yu and a few others approached Hiderigami who appeared nervous and awkward.

They asked, “Who slapped you?”

Hiderigami did not answer their question. Yet, there was a hint of rage in his eyes.

Seeing that he was receiving no reply, Gu Yu did not dwell on it. He waved his hand and immediately the others went forward to carry Hiderigami’s body before they continued their journey to the peak.

After they walked on the mountain road for half an hour, they heard an old hoarse voice in their heads.

“Hiderigami!”

Hiderigami widened his eyes in vigilance the moment he heard the voice that he was rather familiar with. It was from the person whom he was most afraid of — the Demonic God.

“Haha! You actually have the guts to come here. Hahaha!”

It was a hysterical laugh.

“Demonic God, my boss, I’ve carried out the task that you assigned to me. Yet, I failed to kill him. Therefore, I’ve brought him to you,” Gu Yu quickly explained.

“Good job! You didn’t disappoint me. Hahaha!”

Then, a black fog appeared beneath their feet and they immediately lost their balance. The clouds around the mountains ran past their sight as they rode on the black fog and headed for the mountain peak speedily.

Hiderigami was perturbed.

Although the Demonic God had been sealed, they were in his territory and he God could, more or less, release some of his energy. He would be doomed if he was brought to the peak of the mountain.

“Roar!”

Hiderigami’s face was flushed red as he put in a strenuous effort to release the original Power of Blood Qi from his blood core. He had to escape from the restraint of the black fog even if he had to break his blood core.

However, when he finally released his Blood Qi, it was immediately subdued by the black fog.

“Hiderigami, stop struggling. There’s no way for you to run away from me since you’re already here. Nevertheless, you’re merely a weakling.”

Being called a weakling by the Demonic God, Hiderigami was not furious at all. Instead, he was overwhelmed by immense fear.

Within a blink of an eye, they had gone through the clouds and arrived at the mountain peak. Then, the black fog was dispersed.

At this moment, in front of the pillar pagoda that was built on the mountain peak, a pair of crimson eyes, which were concealed by the black fog, was glaring at Hiderigami.

“Hiderigami! Hiderigami! Hiderigami!”

The overlapping voices resonated in everyone’s head. Some voices were mumbling, some were yelling, and some were roaring. The voices triggered their negative emotions before the crowd fell to the ground, one after another, with a stoned expression.

However, the crowd was merely affected by the lingering negative emotions. The main target of the negative emotions was Hiderigami, who was already lying on the ground.

At this instant, the bloody sea within Hiderigami’s head was raging with furious waves. The laugh of the bloody boy continued to ring by his ear. He felt like a lonely yacht that was sailing the bloody sea and would be engulfed by the bloody waves at any time.

His fear was growing.

Under the attack of the Demonic God’s negative emotions, the fear within Hiderigami was continuously being magnified. He grimaced in pain. Eventually, he could not endure it any longer and began to cry in agony.

“Hahaha. Hiderigami, look how pathetic you are. What happened to your egoistic self who used to be able to manipulate death? You once told me that being weak is a sin. Look at you now, weakling. Hahaha!”

After sensing the fear within Hiderigami, the Demonic God began to laugh hysterically.

He had been waiting for this day for a very long time. He almost thought that he would never be able to take revenge.

This moment was what kept him hopeful as he suffered through the innumerable days within the seal.

The Demonic God was extremely satisfied and pleased as he watched Hiderigami who was shivering in fear.

Despite the fact that they were only suffering from the lingering negative emotions, the players could not deal with it anymore.

Gu Yu begged, “Demonic God, please stop the energy. We can’t take it any longer!”

The Demonic God did not answer. He turned to stare at Gu Yu with his crimson eyes silently yet menacingly.

Then, the negative emotions started to fade. Their faces were no longer pale. Yet, there was still a bit of fear that remained on their faces.

They felt as though they had just returned from death’s doorsteps.

Among them, Little Sha was suffering the worst. Not only his hands, but his whole body, was quivering.

Witnessing the power of the scariest demonic deity of the Land of Beiqi, his heart almost stopped. This time, he did not even have the strength to run away. He squatted down as he massaged his cheeks, appearing as though he was going to die of fear.

They heard that Gu Yu addressed this man as the Demonic God and had already figured out who the owner of this pair of crimson eyes was. Nevertheless, they had watched the video of the fight between Hiderigami and the Demonic God.

However, save for Gu Yu and the dog Sun Qi, the others only understood the power which was presented by the Demonic God’s clone.

“Demonic God, is the mission considered accomplished?”

“Yes, it’s accomplished. After we kill Hiderigami, I’ll teach you the secret to develop the Blood Seed.”

Gu Yu was happy as he heard the Demonic God’s answer. He knew that this was his opportunity to grow stronger.

At this moment, a man appeared bashfully beside Gu Yu.

He asked, “Can I have his body after you kill him?”

The crowd remained quiet and curious.

Everyone, including the Demonic God, had their gaze fixed on Hu He.

They were rendered speechless by this man who was obsessed with dead bodies.

“Are you a descendant of the Zombie Forgemasters?” the Demonic God threw a glimpse at Hu He and he immediately unearthed Hu He’s background.

Hu He giggled as he scratched his head.

“Sure!”

Hu He was overjoyed upon listening to Demonic God’s answer. Yet, Gu Yu was astounded.

He had seen a part of the Demonic God’s memory and understood how much hatred the Demonic God held against Hiderigami. He reckoned that the Demonic God would certainly dismember Hiderigami, and did not expect the Demonic God to willingly hand the body of Hiderigami to Hu He.

“Temper it into a zombie spirit and forbid it to rest in peace. That’s such a great idea! He can’t die so easily. This idea is surprisingly good!”

The Demonic God’s reply had answered Gu Yu’s doubt. He instinctively turned to look at the gleeful Hu He.

When this boy obtained Hiderigami’s body, he might not be able to do anything to the dead body currently. However, if he succeeded in the future, Gu Yu could not imagine how powerful this player would become.

An indestructible body would be turned into a terrifying zombie spirit. Then, he would be basically peerless.

However, as the Demonic God had agreed and Hu He had helped throughout the mission, Gu Yu did not want to go against them.

He said, “Demonic God, do it now!”

The Demonic God, once again, shifted his gaze back to Hiderigami, who seemed extremely agonized and terrified.

The mountain peak briefly quaked before Hiderigami was enveloped and swallowed by a crimson fire.

The fire was extremely domineering. The skin of Hiderigami of the Ghost Emperor Realm immediately split open. Meanwhile, his blood, which was oozing out of his skin, continued to fuel the flare.

“Aaahhhhhh! Demonic God!” the physical pain had awakened Hiderigami’s consciousness. He opened his crimson eyes and glared at the Demonic God.

“Enjoy the gift I prepared for you. I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time. I didn’t expect to be able to hand it to you personally.”

After the Demonic God finished his words, a blood pattern appeared beneath Hiderigami’s body. A cross with many metal chains slowly materialized at the center of the blood pattern.

“Let me feel your fear before you die. Ha!”

The burning metal chains ensnared Hiderigami and tied him to the cross.

The flare continued to rage as the shadow of the Demonic God slowly appeared behind the burning cross…
