Chapter 42 So, what is the price?
Amidst the maniacal laughter, the mirror behind the Buddha statue instantly erupted with dazzling white light.
This white light attacked Qin Liu. If Qin Liu, in her spiritualized form, were to be illuminated by this white light, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Qin Liu dared not let her guard down and dodged the white light with a flash.
“Damn it…” the young girl muttered under her breath, “Was our intelligence wrong?”
Qin Liu could clearly feel that the white light emitted from the mirror was far more stable than before, and it was also very easy for the opponent to control.
It was as if someone was secretly helping Gu Qianyang.
Who perfected the final steps of the Mirror Door for this old bastard?
Qin Liu couldn’t figure it out, but Gu Qianyang naturally wouldn’t give her the chance to think.
More mirrors appeared in the room, and beams of light shot towards Qin Liu one after another.
Gu Qianyang’s goal had been clear from beginning to end: to take Qin Liu’s life.
“Hahaha!!”
Watching Qin Liu dodge in a desperate manner, unable to even get close to him, Gu Qianyang felt a strange sense of relief.
“I had countless opportunities,”
“But how long can you keep dodging?”
Looking at the flickering red shadow in the sky, Liu Haoyu also realized the seriousness of the situation.
He quickly said to Qin Liu.
“Return to Hong Yu!”
“Don’t even think about it.”
The evil Buddha statue moved at this moment. Its arm suddenly reversed, and an eye in its palm shot out a laser, shattering the Hong Yu in Liu Haoyu’s hand.
“Did you really think I didn’t know your vessel, Qin Liu?”
Looking at the evil Buddha statue before him, Liu Haoyu’s gaze became extremely solemn.
He admitted that he had still underestimated Gu Qianyang.
Who would have thought that he could perfect the Mirror Door even without one sacrifice?
And he even used the corpse of the ghost exorcist Gu Wanxue to create a powerful evil Buddha statue.
The situation was very unfavorable for him and Qin Liu.
Looking at the increasing number of mirrors in the room, Liu Haoyu also understood that he needed to find a way to break through as soon as possible.
He took out three blank yellow papers, bit his index finger, and drew three blood talismans on them.
These were Zhenlei Talismans, but Zhenlei Talismans drawn with blood were many times stronger than those drawn with ink.
If classified within the ghost exorcist profession, the name of such talismans should be Blood Thunder Talismans.
However, since the formation remained the same, Liu Haoyu still habitually referred to them as Zhenlei Talismans.
Looking at the talismans emitting a faint bloody glow in Liu Haoyu’s hand, the evil Buddha statue let out a dismissive cold laugh.
“Tricks.”
As they spoke, the evil Buddha statue blocked in front with its eight spider-like hands, directly scattering the bloody lightning bolt thrown by Liu Haoyu.
After ceasing to be human, with the power of the evil Buddha statue, he was no longer someone Liu Haoyu could contend with.
Looking at this evil Buddha statue that was impervious to swords and guns, and unaffected by water and fire, Liu Haoyu fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he was like an ordinary person, while the evil Buddha statue was like a tank, leaving him helpless.
However, just as they were at their wits’ end, two figures wearing black and white robes suddenly appeared in the room.
These were Black Impermanence and White Impermanence!
“You’ve brought this upon yourself…”
White Impermanence waved the mourning stick in his hand, and all the mirrors stopped, no matter how Gu Qianyang commanded them.
“What’s going on!?”
It looked at the Black and White Impermanence before it in disbelief.
“What did you do?”
“Heh heh~” White Impermanence let out a mocking laugh. “Why don’t you guess how your Mirror Door was suddenly perfected? Of course, King Yama helped you complete the final step.”
“But the price…”
Before White Impermanence’s voice could fall, Black Impermanence’s voice rang out again.
“Heaven and Earth Formation, Forbidden.”
As Black Impermanence’s voice fell, all the mirrors turned their muzzles and aimed at the evil Buddha statue.
“Damn it!”
Gu Qianyang clearly did not expect that the Mirror Door he created would be taken advantage of by others. He was both angry and hateful. The blood-red eyes of the evil Buddha statue glared at the four people before it. If looks could kill, these four would have already been sliced into a thousand pieces.
But anger was useless. Even if it itself were to be hit by these mirrors, it would be dragged into that terrifying Hell of Reincarnation.
Gu Qianyang naturally did not want to die. Possessing the evil Buddha statue, he immediately smashed through the ceiling above his head, attempting to escape to the surface.
However, it was obvious that Qin Liu, who had been shot at for so long, would not give him a chance to escape.
The moment the mirror beams stopped, her figure instantly appeared above the evil Buddha statue.
The lantern in her hand ignited with an eerie green flame, and then Qin Liu sprinkled all of that flame down.
The green ghost fire swept through the entire body of the evil Buddha statue like a prairie fire.
Amidst the wails, the mirror beams followed, hitting the evil Buddha statue squarely.
When the dust settled, Qin Liu looked at the motionless evil Buddha statue on the ground, her brows furrowed tightly.
“Something’s wrong… Gu Qianyang’s soul isn’t inside the Buddha statue.”
Gu Qianyang had been controlling this evil Buddha statue using his soul, but now, in the remnants of the evil Buddha statue, his trace could not be felt.
Liu Haoyu also realized this, but soon, he thought of something.
“There is another tunnel exit to the east of here. Gu Qianyang must have run in that direction.”
“Let’s pursue.”
——————
“Qin Liu, Qin Liu…”
Gu Qianyang’s soul returned to his headless, incomplete corpse. He tried to stand up from the ground, but was completely unable to. Powerless, he could only crawl forward inch by inch, his voice becoming increasingly deranged.
“Qin Liu, Qin Liu, Qin Liu!!!”
His obsession with Qin Liu had made him extremely paranoid and angry.
But feeling Qin Liu’s aura getting closer and closer, Gu Qianyang knew that if he didn’t escape now, he would definitely die and completely lose the chance to make a comeback.
He certainly would not give up just like that.
Gu Qianyang’s mangled body stumbled deeper into the tunnel. Black blood constantly seeped from his severed neck, leaving a viscous trail on the ground.
“As long as… I escape…”
His fingers dug deep into the soil, exposing white bones beneath the rotten flesh.
As someone from the 1980s, he knew that this tunnel had another exit, leading to the mass graves of Panwang Mountain. As long as he kept crawling forward, he was sure to escape.
In the damp tunnel, he could faintly hear footsteps behind him, getting closer and closer…
Gu Qianyang’s mutilated body trembled violently. He crawled forward with all his might.
“Almost… almost there…”
The exit of the tunnel appeared before Gu Qianyang. He used his last bit of strength to stand up.
However, the moment his hand grasped the door panel, a cold voice echoed in his ear.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, old beast.”
