615 Key to Salvation

"We are so dead… We are goners this time…"

Soon, everyone collapsed to the ground. Upon hearing the heavy footsteps approaching, the crowd could feel that death was closing in on them. Despair had flooded the whole area without any mercy.

"Xiaobei… Are we going to be killed this time?"

Luo Puti looked at Chen Xiaobei with pleading eyes.

Previously, Chen Xiaobei managed to save them from two life-threatening events – pulling them out from the pits of despair. At this moment, Luo Puti really hoped that there would be a miracle again!

"I still have a lot of things left unfulfilled… If I die here all would be in vain…"

Losing her composure, Luo Puti could not help but voice out her deepest thoughts. Her crystal-clear eyes slowly turned misty. Her messy hair covered her pale face. It was quite a beautiful scene but there was a feeling of reluctance in it. All those years, she did whatever it took to become the chief inspector of Six Doors. Power and authority were not things that she lusted for. It was all for an incident that she investigated for the longest time she could remember. This incident served as a motivation for her to train herself to be able to increase his combat power in the shortest time possible. That was why she gave up the opportunity to make friends to become part of Six Doors. Even when she was controlled by Poseidon, this incident was the reason why she could persevere till the end! To her surprise, she did not expect that she had to put an end to her perseverance right now. 

"Don't be nervous! Have some faith! There will be a way out eventually!"

"Ehehe… You are really good at consoling yourself! The source of my voodoo curse is from the Yin Qi of dead bodies. There is no way in hell that you can remove this curse! That's right! You guys are going to die anyway! Just stay there and let me do whatever I want! All of you here are no different from the pigs at the slaughterhouse! Don't worry! I will kill you in the end! I want to make you watch while I kill them in front of you! Kill me if you can! Ehehehe…"

A lean and fragile shadow could be seen walking out from the darkness that laid before them.

"He's here… He's here… We are so done for…"

The crowd let out their final wails of despair. Knowing that all hope was lost, more than half of them had lost their minds. Their bodies were shaking uncontrollably and some of them even passed out. Like a statue, Luo Puti lay on the ground as she felt her soul leaving her body.

"Shriveled corpse? Another puppet?"

At that moment, Chen Xiaobei was the only among them that could remain calm while observing the person that approached them slowly. The person looked like a shriveled corpse with only skin and bones left. A sharp dagger could be seen held tightly in his hand. Though he did not look powerful, it was more than enough to kill a group of paralyzed elites.

"Bastard! What now? Who do you want me to kill first? Just point at one and I will fulfill your wish! Ehehehe…"

Xiangxi Phantom Lord's laughing was a direct insult to Chen Xiaobei. From his point of view, everything was already set in stone. What he was about to do next was nothing more than a game. Ignoring him, Chen Xiaobei's mind was whirring, thinking of a way out. He considered the fact that Xiangxi Phantom Lord already had everything under his control, yet still did not dare to show his true self. That was enough to prove that his true self was actually extremely weak! Most of the shamans and wizards would not focus on martial arts. People like Feng Qingyang that practiced martial arts and shamanism was extremely rare.

That being said, the whole thing would be a smooth sailing as long as they could remove the poison from their bodies and find the real Xiangxi Phantom Lord. Now, Chen Xiaobei had to focus and figure out a way to remove the poison from everyone's bodies. Unfortunately, he could not think of a way to do so no matter how hard he tried.

"Bastard! Why are you so quiet? Are you too afraid to say anything? I'm going to start with this woman right here if you still refuse to talk to me! Should I cut her face first or chop off her delicate fingers?"

"I will f*cking torture kill you if you lay a hand on her!"

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei glared at Xiangxi Phantom Lord like a mad dragon! With his powerful and dominant aura emanating from his body, everyone around him was taken aback.

"Ehehe… It seems like I have picked the right person to kill! I'm going to start with her! I want to watch you suffer!"

"I dare you to!!!"

Chen Xiaobei roared once again. His eyes were filled with blood and veins were about to pop out from his skin. With the pressure continued to increase, the mad dragon would definitely destroy everything in its sight once it was freed from the chains. Unfortunately, his current circumstance was no different from sitting in a cage due to the poison. No matter how angry he got, there was nothing he could do if he failed to get rid of this poison from his body.

"What to do now?! What should I do to get rid of this poison from my system?! I will allow anything bad happens to Puti! Never…"

Without wasting any time, Chen Xiaobei was trying his best to find a way out. As the saying goes, your mind will be a mess if you fail to calm yourself down! Seeing that Luo Puti was about to be killed, Chen Xiaobei's was extremely frustrated. He just could not think straight anymore, let alone finding a way that would work!

"Oh right! This is exactly what I want! The greater you suffer the happier I am! Ehehehe…"

At the same time, the shriveled corpse strode towards Luo Puti slowly with a dagger in his hand.

"No!"

At that moment, Chen Xiaobei could not think of a way to save her anymore. All he wished was to take her place to save her life.

"Bastard! Open up your eyes and watch me kill her! The show starts now! Ehehehe…"

However! In a sudden turn of events…

Everyone's attention was drawn to two small spiritsl; a little boy and girl. They flew towards Chen Xiaobei while shouting, "Savior! Savior!"

The reason why everyone placed their attention on them was that the shriveled corpse stopped attacking Luo Puti. Instead, it attacked those two spirits!

"Niu Niu! Nyu Nyu!"

"Why are you guys here?! It's really dangerous! Run!"

"No! We will not run! We can get rid of the poison in your body!"

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei realized why the corpse turned around to attack them. They were the key to their salvation!

"How did you guys end up here? Leave now! If not, I will destroy your spirit!"

Xiangxi Phantom Lord knew better than anyone that the two of them should not be there!
