Chapter 43 Ghoul
Looking at the expanding gap, Liu Haoyu knew this couldn’t go on.Although the outside world was dark, as the gap widened, he clearly saw the monster wrestling with him.Although its face had withered, like a dried corpse.Liu Haoyu still recognized the other party.This person was Gu Mingyuan!But at this moment, he had long lost any signs of life, and he was not a physical entity, yet he could move like a normal person.If it’s neither a ghost nor a living person, then there’s only one possibility.A zombie, or rather… a ghoul!The gap continued to widen, and the gap that could only accommodate an arm was now large enough for a person’s head to fit in.“What great strength…”Liu Haoyu gritted his teeth. “Help me pull out the fire axe!”Since Liu Haoyu’s hands were tightly gripping the coffin, he could only ask Qin Liu to help him pull out the fire axe.“Oh, oh!”Seeing this, Qin Liu also reached behind Liu Haoyu and fumbled for a while before finally grabbing the handle of the fire axe.Since it was a single-handed axe, it wasn’t too heavy, and even Qin Liu could easily pick it up.“Aim for his head and smash!”“Okay.”It was difficult to exert force inside the narrow black coffin.However, the situation was critical, and Qin Liu didn’t care about that much. She aimed at Gu Mingyuan’s head and smashed down hard. “Pfft!”With a dull thud, Qin Liu didn’t know if she had hit him, but she could feel some viscous, stinky liquid falling on her face.“Bang!”There was a sound of something falling outside the coffin. Liu Haoyu seized the opportunity, kicked open the coffin lid, picked up Qin Liu, and rushed out directly.Qin Liu, carried on Liu Haoyu’s shoulder, was bumped around for a while, but she clearly saw that the fire axe was embedded in Gu Mingyuan’s face, which was full of stitch marks.Liu Haoyu naturally couldn’t retrieve the axe now.Gu Mingyuan was also a ghost exorcist in his life, and his strength was equally strong.After all, if you think about it carefully, it’s not like a weakling to be able to set up a life-sustaining formation.And now that he was dead, although he hadn’t turned into a ghost, he had been turned into a ghoul.This caused him to retain most of his original strength, and even gain some of the caster’s abilities.If he fought head-on, Liu Haoyu knew he had a chance of winning, but even if he won, he wouldn’t be unharmed. At best, it would be a mutual destruction.In the current situation, being injured was no different from death.What was even more important was that even if he won against this ghoul, when the real culprit behind him returned… then he would have absolutely no chance of winning.So the only thing he could do was run.Liu Haoyu held a Zhenlei Talisman in one hand and carried Qin Liu on his shoulder like a sack.The bumpy ride almost made Qin Liu carsick.She saw the ghoul behind them standing up, its eager and frantic expression seeming to wish it could tear her to pieces.“Blood… blood… soul… so beautiful…”Gu Mingyuan muttered incoherent sounds, then pulled the fire axe from his face, held it in his hand, and ran towards them at full speed.The violent black shadow, like an enraged fierce beast, with its extreme speed and terrifying oppressive feeling, made Liu Haoyu dare not stop for half a step.“Leave her… leave her!”The roar from behind was accompanied by a strong killing intent. Liu Haoyu knew very well that if Qin Liu fell into the hands of this monster, she would surely die!Therefore, even though the distance between them was getting closer and closer, he could not put Qin Liu down.“Zhenlei Talisman!”Seeing the other party pressing closer, Liu Haoyu threw four or five Zhenlei Talismans behind him in an attempt to stop the other party’s progress.However, Gu Mingyuan, who was also a ghost exorcist in his life, not only did not evade upon seeing these talismans, but instead muttered something unintelligible with his mouth.When the last syllable fell from his mouth, the lightning strike released by the Zhenlei Talisman was completely drawn into the ground.“Damn it!”Liu Haoyu just wanted to curse at this moment.He had to admit that these powerful ghost exorcists, if not properly dealt with after death, were not to be trifled with. “Run that way!”Under Qin Liu’s guidance, Liu Haoyu jumped out of the second-floor window and landed in the backyard.Although there was no one here, the commotion on the second floor had attracted the servants and guards in the mansion, and they were also coming here.At that time, they would be caught between enemies and friends, and it would be even more impossible to escape.“Put me down,” Qin Liu, who was carried on his shoulder, patted Liu Haoyu’s back and said, “They shouldn’t harm me…”But before she could finish, an angry roar came from the second-floor window.Hearing this, Liu Haoyu said directly. “Do you think this irrational monster will spare your life?”Facing Liu Haoyu’s question, Qin Liu also fell silent.She wasn’t stupid.With her powerful spiritual sight, she could clearly perceive Gu Mingyuan’s desire for her and his naked killing intent.“Monsters who become ghouls will be tormented by hunger forever,”“It craves souls, but even after eating souls, it has no internal organs to digest them,”“So it will always be hungry and always want to eat,”“Have you considered the strength of your soul?”“To it, it’s even more tempting than Tang Sanzang’s flesh.”Liu Haoyu said to Qin Liu as he ran. “So now, listen to me, escaping from here is the most important thing!”“But the problem is, isn’t there a barrier here?”If she could really sneak away, Qin Liu wouldn’t have been locked in this place all along.However, Liu Haoyu seemed to have thought of a solution while escaping.He took out a blank talisman from his backpack.And said to Qin Liu. “Remember, Qin Liu.”“Formations are like precision instruments. It only takes a little time to completely destroy them, and even change the way they are used…”“During these past few days, I have been studying the barrier of this wall, precisely to prevent such a situation from happening.”“Now, I only need two minutes… and I can open a gap in this barrier.”Behind them, the mansion was filled with continuous screams and wails.Accompanying them were the roars of the ghoul.Obviously, the ghoul had run into the servants who came to check the situation.Taking advantage of the servants and guards to delay the ghoul, Liu Haoyu bit his index finger and kept drawing something on the talisman.
