Being stared at by this devastatingly beautiful "Goddess of Death," Wu Tianfeng felt no joy, nor any wicked thoughts.
All he felt was fear.
Lin Zhitong, by herself, had fought against over fifty disciples of various folk sects, and without killing any of them, had incapacitated them all.
Even if she didn't summon the Ghost King for help in the end, defeating Wu Tianfeng would be more than enough.
Moreover, Yan Shouyi stood by, watching intently.
This was an almost certain death scenario for Wu Tianfeng.
Unless a miracle occurred, or some mysterious expert intervened, but Wu Tianfeng didn't believe the Crimson Flower Society had any remaining trump cards.
Even if they did, that trump card might not be a match for Yan Shouyi and Lin Zhitong!
After careful consideration, Wu Tianfeng found he had no chance of winning, and fear gradually took hold.
He knelt on the ground with a *thump*, repeatedly kowtowing to Lin Zhitong!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"I was just following my father's orders. You should go find him!"
"Please spare my life, I'll agree to any condition!"
Lin Zhitong listened silently, then let out a disdainful light laugh.
Even his excuses and pleas for mercy seemed so weak.
Where was the arrogance he displayed earlier?
If you want us, a couple, to show you mercy, did you ever show mercy to our child? Did you show mercy to Uncle-Master Lü Jing?!
Lin Zhitong's anger flared; she didn't want to listen to Wu Tianfeng's blather any longer.
She lifted her Red God Umbrella, then kicked the end of it. The Red God Umbrella immediately shot out like a hurled spear, turning into a stream of light as it flew towards Wu Tianfeng!
*Slish!*
Wu Tianfeng had no time to react. By the time he did, he could no longer beg for mercy with his kowtows.
Because the Red God Umbrella pierced his chest, pinning him to the ground!
Wu Tianfeng felt a drilling pain, but the intensity of it prevented him from crying out in agony.
His consciousness gradually blurred, his eyelids grew heavy, and finally, with a sense of unwillingness, he closed his eyes, his hands hanging limply.
Lin Zhitong watched the deceased Wu Tianfeng coldly.
She thought killing Wu Tianfeng would appease her anger, but now she realized he had died too easily.
It was too kind to him.
However, besides Li Genmiao, there was no one else Lin Zhitong needed to get revenge on.
She stood still, closed her eyes, and tried to regulate her breathing, and also to calm her heart.
Yan Shouyi watched from the utility pole. Seeing Wu Tianfeng dead, he sighed and then leaped down.
Finally, he could get down...
Yan Shouyi regretted sitting on the utility pole earlier. Sitting for a while was fine, but sitting for too long made his backside ache.
"It's temporarily over."
Yan Shouyi reached out and stroked Lin Zhitong's face, comforting her, "We need to clean up the mess and then send Sect Leader Lü Jing's body back to the Lü Mountain Sect."
Lin Zhitong opened her eyes; her emotions had stabilized considerably.
She pursed her lips and finally nodded at Yan Shouyi.
"You go back to the van and wait. I'll deal with Wu Tianfeng's body."
Yan Shouyi finished speaking and turned to handle the corpse.
However, he was shocked to discover that Wu Tianfeng, who should have been pinned to the ground, had vanished!
On the ground, there was only a hole left by the Red God Umbrella and a pool of blood.
And Wu Tianfeng, along with the Red God Umbrella, was gone!
"Wu Tianfeng isn't dead!?" Yan Shouyi exclaimed in alarm, turning back immediately and thinking of Lin Zhitong!
Lin Zhitong was about to return to the minivan when she saw someone standing on it.
That person had a bloody hole in their chest, was bowing their head and stooping, and held her Red God Umbrella in their hand!
Lin Zhitong's expression changed!
*Whoosh—*
The person suddenly threw the Red God Umbrella, which flew towards Lin Zhitong with extreme speed, like an arrow released from a bow!
The shadow of the Red God Umbrella magnified in Lin Zhitong's pupils, and in a blink of an eye, it was upon her!
Just as the Red God Umbrella was about to pierce Lin Zhitong's body, Yan Shouyi suddenly appeared beside her and caught the Red God Umbrella, forcefully stopping it!
When the Red God Umbrella stopped, its tip was only a hair's breadth away from Lin Zhitong's abdomen!
"You little girl, be careful, Wu Tianfeng isn't dead!"
Yan Shouyi straightened up and returned the Red God Umbrella to Lin Zhitong.
Lin Zhitong took the Red God Umbrella and narrowed her eyes, staring at the figure standing on the minivan.
That person was indeed Wu Tianfeng, but his aura was completely different from before.
"I can't hear his heartbeat," Yan Shouyi said in a low voice.
No heartbeat meant he was either dead or a walking corpse.
What had happened to Wu Tianfeng? What power had "resurrected" him?
Under the moonlight, Wu Tianfeng lowered his head, his disheveled scalp hanging down.
Suddenly, his back began to twitch violently, as if something was writhing beneath his skin.
The next second, several *slish* sounds echoed, followed by the emergence of jointed limbs, like spider legs, from his back!
One... two... three... a total of eight!
Eight limbs protruded, their sharp ends piercing the roof of the minivan, lifting Wu Tianfeng into the air.
Each limb was as thick as an adult's thigh!
That wasn't all. From Wu Tianfeng's tailbone, a black scorpion's tail grew, curved, with a fearsome barb hovering over Wu Tianfeng's head, clearly carrying potent poison!
"Heh..."
Wu Tianfeng seemed to have awakened. He exhaled a breath and then suddenly spread his limbs, letting out a sharp cry!!
The sound was not human, but more like a monster's!
Yan Shouyi stepped forward, shielding Lin Zhitong behind him, his gaze solemn:
"Wu Tianfeng is strange. Be careful."
Instead, Lin Zhitong sidestepped Yan Shouyi and stood in front of him: "No matter what monster he's become, it wasn't satisfying enough to kill him the first time. If I can kill him twice, three times, then it will truly be satisfying!"
Hey, dear, aren't you being a bit of a pervert...
Lin Zhitong was currently in a state of furious rage, so Yan Shouyi could only think these words in his mind and dared not say them aloud.
Otherwise, he feared Lin Zhitong might twist his head off as well.
Wu Tianfeng slowly raised his head. His eyeballs had turned blood-red, and his pupils had shrunk to small black dots, looking extremely sinister.
"So this is the power of the Absolute Gu... I really should thank Clan Leader Teng, even though he has already betrayed me..."
Wu Tianfeng extended his hand, clenched it into a fist, making a *crackling* sound, and muttered to himself:
"The Absolute Gu is a Gu worm cultivated by the Gu tribe for a thousand years, its power is unimaginable... But if the Absolute Gu dies, its corresponding host will also die. That is to say, if I die, Clan Leader Teng will surely die... Heh, father went to Clan Leader Teng to ask for the Absolute Gu, and he was reluctant at first, but in the end, he still handed it over obediently..."
"Now that I possess the power of the Absolute Gu, let alone killing you two, escaping from Rongcheng is still more than enough!!"
