The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 30: Devouring Ghosts
Li Zhen suddenly grabbed the grinning red-eyed bat with his left hand, and slapped the top of the red-eyed bat's head with his right hand. A thin needle that appeared in his hand at some point pierced into the top of the red-eyed bat's head.

The red-eyed bat squeaked, and its red eyes flashed with a faint red light, making it look even more ferocious, but not as ferocious as Li Zhen who caught it.

Li Zhen bit his tongue cruelly and sprayed a mouthful of blood mist on the red-eyed bat.

A large amount of blood mist gathered into drops and flowed down along the thin needle on the top of the red-eyed bat's head.

"Eat it!"

Li Zhen loosened his left hand.

The red-eyed bat dyed red by the blood mist immediately disappeared in his hand.

The little girl in red with a blue face changed drastically, and her figure flickered repeatedly, as if she was being chased by something terrible.

Until it suddenly stopped, and the red-eyed bat appeared on its body without warning.

A strange "squeak" sound was heard, and the red-eyed bat opened its ferocious mouth and bit the little girl in red on the head.

"You... are so cruel..."

The originally illusory evil ghost seemed to have suffered substantial damage. It let out a weak scream and then turned into mist and was swallowed by the red-eyed bat.

As soon as it inhaled the mist, the red-eyed bat screamed a few times, flapped its wings desperately, and struggled to fly towards Li Zhen.

It tried its best but failed to fly to Li Zhen, and finally fell in front of Li Zhen in pain.

At this time, Li Zhen did not have the extra energy to care about the red-eyed bat.

Just as the red-eyed bat swallowed the evil ghost, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His whole body turned cold and he lost consciousness in an instant.

A huge chill seemed to emerge from deep within his body, making him feel as if his invisible soul and consciousness were gradually being frozen.

Along with this chill, what gushed out were the violent emotions suppressed by Li Zhen and various cruel murder scenes.

Li Zhen himself had not actually seen many cruel things. What flashed through his mind more were the murder scenes of evil spirits in the building.

Many people were killed in various cruel ways and felt indescribable pain before falling into endless darkness.

Those desperate faces are very impactful.

But the violent Li Zhen did not feel uncomfortable, but felt a hint of pleasure.

This was not the emotion he should have, but the emotion of the evil spirit.

Definitely...

This is the side effect of "Ghost Eater".

Li Zhen closed his eyes with a grim expression.

Low and strange spells came out intermittently from his mouth.

"The dark wind... opens its throat, offering a bloody sacrifice to the Ghost Gate... devours the remaining souls, gnaws at the remaining bones... Three souls enter its abdomen, seven spirits transform into power, and black flames burn its heart..."

The screaming red-eyed bat kept rolling on the ground, like an inflated balloon, its body sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking.

A terrifying and hideous human face can be vaguely seen on the exaggeratedly bulging skin of the red-eyed bat.

"You...will die a horrible death!"

The shrill curse drowned out Li Zhen's chanting.

I was never going to die well...

Li Zhen slowly stretched out his trembling right palm.

Press down.

The fine needle on the red-eyed bat's head was pressed completely into the bat's head.

A small amount of blood flowed out from Li Zhen's palm and flowed into the head of the red-eyed bat along the thin needle.

"Use the bat of hell to devour all evil, Takārakshasas..."

The red-eyed bat squeaked a few times, and the sounds became weaker and weaker.

The evil ghost's screams gradually disappeared.

If nothing unexpected had happened before, Li Zhen would have rushed to Zhang Jinqiang's house and tried to devour the ghost while it was in a weak state.

Although the sudden appearance of Master Danyang changed the course of events, it did not change the outcome.

The evil spirits are now weaker and easier to devour.

There was almost no effective resistance in this process.

The reason why Li Zhen chose to take risks by fighting ghosts was not only to complete the mission, but also to devour the evil ghosts in the fastest way without interference.

Later, they chose to enter here directly, in large part because they were looking for an opportunity to devour the evil spirit. Such a powerful evil spirit would definitely undergo a complete transformation as long as the red-eyed bat completed the devouring ritual.

Li Zhen, who has the red-eyed bat as his natal evil creature and is connected to its mind, can also make rapid progress in his black magic.

The torches, ponds, and gloomy fog disappeared silently.

The surroundings became a mess.

This place seems to be a damp underground cave, or a hole between the foundations of a building.

Li Zhen closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the side of the cave with his head down.

The sound of chanting with strange rhythm continuously floated out from his body.

……

"Master, master..."

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhen seemed to hear a familiar voice.

He could no longer tell whether this was a dream or someone was really calling him.

"Master, are you okay?"

Li Zhen struggled to open his eyes and saw a slightly blurry light source moving towards him.

He rubbed his eyes, but they became more blurry.

The light source was already approaching. Its large figure swayed before Li Zhen and said worriedly, "Master, your eyes... seem to be bleeding..."

"Is it blood?"

Li Zhen suddenly understood.

He wiped the blood from his eyes with his sleeve.

The vision gradually became clear.

The fat boy's fat face appeared in front of him.

"Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just need to rest for a while."

"Then... what about the evil spirits?"

"No, how is Zhang Xiaolan?"

"She was taken to the hospital in the early morning, and the doctor said she would give birth today."

"What time is it now?"

"It was a little after seven in the morning. I didn't dare come to see the master before daybreak. I came after daybreak."

"You did very well."

Li Zhen wanted to get up from the ground, but his whole body went numb as soon as he moved, and he almost fell to the ground.

Fatty quickly supported Li Zhen.

Li Zhen felt a little uncomfortable for a moment because he didn't hear the sound of the red-eyed bat.

But his mind was in a daze at the moment, and it took him a while to remember what he had done last night.

He picked up the unconscious red-eyed bat from the ground and put it into the bag on his chest.

The red-eyed bat seemed to have undergone great changes, but Li Zhen did not have the energy to observe the changes in the red-eyed bat.

His spirit was squeezed to the limit and he just wanted to have a good sleep.

This scene looked completely different to Fatty.

This Master Li had not only planned his actions in advance, but he also braved the danger to himself and personally went to the bottom of the building to face the terrifying evil spirit...

Judging from the master's appearance, he must have experienced a fierce battle last night, maybe even fought bloody battles all night long.

Even the master's favorite pet bat fell into a coma, which shows how dangerous it is to face the evil ghost.

Although it was a bit thrilling over there, it was definitely nothing compared to this side.

This is the true master...

Although the method is a bit evil...

The fat boy who was carefully supporting Li Zhen admired Li Zhen very much in his heart.
