The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 97 A brief battle with the Bat Sect's sorcerer and a familiar Mahjong ghost

Li Zhen first came to the hospital to check on Wei Jialiang's condition.

Detective Li was not surprised to see police officers outside the hospital.

A perfectly healthy person suddenly fell into a coma, with all kinds of strange runes painted on his body. The normal reaction would be to call the police.

Li Zhen sent Xiao Gui to check the situation.

Xiao Gui came back and reported that Wei Jialiang had been sent to the emergency room and the doctor said that his vital signs were normal and he was not in danger of death.

This made Li Zhen feel relieved.

If one person dies, his mission is over.

Returning to the park not far away, Li Zhen saw Tirapa waiting for him there.

Tirapa was dressed like a wild man and would attract too much attention if he appeared in the hospital.

He himself felt very guilty, so he offered to wait for Li Zhen here.

Now that Li Zhen has shown his sincerity, it is Tirapa's turn to show his sincerity.

The two took a taxi and headed towards the place Tirapa mentioned.

After getting off the car on a busy street, Tirapa led the way and led Li Zhen to a remote residential area.

"Why are you so obsessed with saving his life? I initially thought you wanted to make money from this, but now it seems that's not the case." Tirapa said casually.

Li Zhen, too lazy to make up an excuse, remained silent.

Tirapa thought to himself, "You've taken a fancy to his soul. What kind of magic do you want to use it to perform?"

"However, this man doesn't seem to be anything special. If you hadn't protected him, he would definitely be dead."

Turning around, he cast a fearful glance at the vampire zombie that had been following Li Zhen. He then said, "This thing is definitely not something a wizard from your Bat Faction could create. What other evil arts have you learned?"

Li Zhen replied, "It was made using a corpse refining method."

"This thing has a very ferocious aura." Tirapa shook his head. "Even I'm a little scared just looking at it. What kind of corpse refining method could have produced this thing?"

"You have all these traces of evil magic on your body, yet you still dare to carry these evil things around with you. You are really brave."

The two of them arrived in front of a residential building. Tirapa looked around and said to Li Zhen in a low voice, "That man's name is Qiachai. Although I really want you to kill him directly, but... he's now mixed up with a powerful gang and secretly serves as a consultant for the gang's casino. You need to be cautious."

Li Zhen asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Haha, of course I have a grudge." Tirapa's face fell. "He's probably responsible for my miserable situation."

"I just brought you here to see him this time to make sure I'm not lying. Although he's not as strong as you, if you want to kill him, it's best to do it in secret because he has a strong background."

"This casino is no ordinary place. Just think about it. If you don't have some connections, you can't open a casino. Without capable people to look after it, it would have been smashed long ago."

"If you take action here, it will cause a lot of trouble."

Li Zhen looked at Tirapa with a bit of surprise.

The reason why Tirapa knows so much about the Bat Clan is probably because he has a grudge against them.

He brought Li Zhen here, obviously wanting to divert the trouble away.

Unexpectedly, he now reminded Li Zhen to be cautious.

Tirapa obviously noticed the change in Li Zhen's expression and said with a smile, "I wanted to use you to kill him, but I am a principled person. I will tell you everything and will not mislead you with information or make you misjudge."

"Okay, no more words, just do it yourself."

After saying that, he came to an iron gate, knocked on the door three times, paused for a moment, and then knocked twice in a row.

The wooden door behind the fence was opened.

A young man with a scar on his face appeared behind the door, looking back and forth at Tirapa and Li Zhen with sharp eyes.

"What are you here for?"

Tirapa replied, "I came to see my fourth uncle."

The young man continued, "Who's the biggest tonight?"

Tirapa replied, “The banker has the biggest prize!”

With a creak, the iron fence was pushed open.

Several ferocious-looking men were standing in the narrow passage.

"Just know the rules, and don't bring anything in that you shouldn't."

As Tirapa walked in, someone briefly searched him.

When Li Zhen walked into the room with the vampire zombie, the man searched Li Zhen's body as usual.

The little ghost that appeared behind the vampire zombie jumped to the ground. No one here saw him except Li Zhen who could see it directly.

Even Tirapa didn't see the imp, but he just noticed something was wrong.

The kid went straight to the person who was searching him.

The person who was possessed shuddered, and his face became as cunning as the little ghost's.

He pretended to search Li Zhen and the vampire zombie, then let Li Zhen go.

Passing through this long and narrow passage, Li Zhen heard the sounds of Pai Gow, Mahjong, etc. colliding.

After walking forward for a few dozen meters and then down for a while, I pushed open a door and saw a bustling scene with crowds of people inside.

There are more than ten gambling tables in a space of nearly 100 square meters.

Many gamblers were walking around the gambling tables with their chips, making the place as crowded as a vegetable market.

This should be a basement. There is no ventilation left. The air is very dirty and emits a strong smell of sweat.

In this smoky and foul place, Guan Erye is actually enshrined...

Li Zhen walked into the casino, glanced at Guan Erye on the wall, and then followed Tirapa into the crowd.

After walking around inside, Tirapa's face changed slightly. He suddenly lowered his head and said to Li Zhen in a low voice, "He's here. On the left, the one in the white suit."

"I need to avoid him. He might still have some impression of me. You can deal with him on your own. If you find anything wrong, just slip away and leave me alone."

He pulled up his coat to cover the lower half of his face, turned around and blended into the crowd.

When Li Zhen turned around, he saw Chachai, whom Tirapa mentioned.

The man was of medium build, had short hair, and ordinary looks. There was a black mole on his left cheek, which added a sinister temperament to his face.

The moment he saw this man, Li Zhen had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The confused red-eyed bat in the backpack also began to get restless and started bumping around inside the backpack.

Li Zhen felt a strong desire from the emotions of the red-eyed bat.

Just from this reaction, Li Zhen knew that what Tirapa said must be true.

When Li Zhen saw the other person, the other person also saw Li Zhen.

The other person looked a little confused, as if he had sensed something but was not sure.

He took a few steps towards Li Zhen, his expression changing slightly.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but a smile appeared on his face again.

Pushing aside the crowd in front of him, he walked towards Li Zhen.

Tirapa, who was not far away, kept winking at Li Zhen, but Li Zhen ignored him.

Seeing that Chachai was approaching, Tirapa had no choice but to blend into the crowd farther away.

"What's your surname, sir?"

Walking not far in front of Li Zhen, Qiachai looked Li Zhen up and down. Although he was asking Li Zhen the question, his gaze turned to the backpack on the back of the vampire zombie.

"plum."

Li Zhen was also looking at Qiachai.

Faintly, he seemed to hear a slight "squeaking" sound coming from the other party's body, but he did not see the bat.

This made Li Zhen feel a little strange.

At such a close distance, the red-eyed bat in the backpack became even more agitated and made slight squeaking sounds.

"Mr. Li, are you interested in coming to the box to play?" Qiachai patted his chest, as if there was something dirty on it.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Okay."

"Mr. Li is straightforward. Please come this way!"

Seeing that Li Zhen did not refuse, Qiachai was overjoyed and led Li Zhen into a more internal channel.

Two thugs in short-sleeved shirts were guarding the door of the passage.

They did not stop Li Zhen who followed Qiachai.

When the vampire zombie passed by behind, the two of them tacitly took a step towards the middle to block the vampire zombie.

The vampire zombie crashed head-on into the two men, causing them to stagger and almost fall.

"What do you mean?" The two men were furious and pushed the vampire zombie hard, but failed to move it.

Li Zhen looked at Qiachai: "Can't my people go in together?"

Qiachai glanced at the vampire zombie and said, "This shouldn't be a human, right? It doesn't matter. Let them come in together."

"If it weren't for Mr. Qiachai's sake, you would have been in trouble today!" One of them said harshly and reluctantly stepped aside.

Li Zhen smiled, followed Chachai with the vampire zombie, and walked towards a private room.

After seeing Li Zhen and Chachai leave together, Tirapa looked a little anxious.

Without mentioning Chachai's background, the environment here is not suitable for taking action.

As a consultant to the casino, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is Chachai's base camp.

Here, Chachai can transfer personnel at will.

And Li Zhen is alone.

The most powerful thing about the bat faction's sorcerers is that they spend a lot of energy to raise an evil creature.

Other sorcerers may need to obtain certain information about their opponents, or obtain something close to them before they can cast a spell on them, but the Bat School can use evil creatures to attack directly at any time.

This is the advantage of the Bat School over other types of sorcerers.

But Li Zhen's bat is in a special state and will definitely be affected when fighting the enemy.

What's more, the other side has a lot of people. What if they are lying in ambush and rush out to hack you to death with their swords when you fail to react in time? What can you do?
Thinking of the embarrassing scene a while ago when he tried to steal corpses in order to change his luck and was almost beaten to death by a group of people, Tirapa felt a little helpless.

Perhaps the evil creature made using the corpse refining method is his trump card?

Tirapa anxiously squeezed through the crowd, wanting to follow to the box to take a look, but as soon as he reached the door leading to the box, he was blocked by the two thugs guarding the door.

The two men were in a bad mood, so naturally they didn't look at Tirapa well.

"You poor bastard, get out of here without an invitation! This is not a place for you!"

Tirapa blushed, but was helpless.

He is indeed poor...

After looking towards the box for a few times, he frowned, turned around and blended into the crowd.

……

After Qiachai pushed open the door of the box and invited Li Zhen in, he said a few words to a waiter outside the box before walking into the box.

The box has good sound insulation. Once the door is closed, all the noisy sounds are blocked out.

There was originally only one female dealer in this box, and with Li Zhen and the other two who came in, there were only three people in total. Although it was narrow, it was not crowded.

Seeing Chacha coming, the female dealer gave up her seat to Chacha.

Qiachai sat down casually, picked up the Pai Gow on the table and knocked it a few times on the gambling table.

"Mahjong, poker, fantan, sic bo, baccarat, which one do you like to play, Mr. Li?" Li Zhen sat down across from Qiachai and said naturally, "I don't gamble."

Qiacha said with a smile, "Since Mr. Li doesn't know how to gamble, what are you doing in the casino? Are you just here with your friends to learn something new?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to gamble. We can just play the simplest game and compare the size of the dice."

He pushed a sieve from the gambling table to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen placed his hand on the sieve: "I've played with this before, but I'm not very proficient in it."

"It's good that you've played it before. Then let's play this tonight." Qiachai said with a smile, "But gambling also requires stakes. Does Mr. Li have any stakes on him?"

"It doesn't matter if there's no bet. If I win, I'll pick something from Mr. Li's body. How about that?"

Li Zhen looked at the sieve cup and asked, "Do we have to gamble tonight?"

"Of course we have to gamble." Qiachai patted the gambling table. "This is a private room. According to our rules, once you come in, you have to play a few rounds before you can leave."

"Oh, Mr. Li can go out if he voluntarily leaves his hands behind."

Li Zhen shook his head: "I haven't heard of this rule."

Qiachai pointed at himself and smiled, revealing his white teeth: "I just ordered it."

Li Zhen looked at Qia Cai for a moment and then laughed too: "If you lose, can I also choose something from your body?"

Qiachai laughed and said, "I have never lost since I entered this casino. Maybe Mr. Li can let me lose once."

"It doesn't mean anything." Li Zhen pushed the sieve away.

The smile on Qiachai's face slowly disappeared: "Mr. Li, what do you think is interesting?"

Li Zhen didn't want to play those roundabout games with Qiachai, so he said directly, "Are you also a sorcerer from the Bat Sect?"

Qiachai leaned back in his chair. "You sensed it too? Why? Are you surprised?"

"The Bat Clan doesn't have many sorcerers to begin with, and I never expected to see one on Hong Kong Island... Do you dare to attack them directly?!"

His expression suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly.

The chair behind him fell to the ground with a bang.

The sound of "hehe" laughter rang out in the box, making Qiachai feel numb.

He gritted his teeth and pulled off the necklace from around his neck.

Hanging on the necklace was a white skull the size of a thumb.

At this time, the eyes of the skull were emitting a faint red light.

If it weren't for the skull working, he would have been killed by the little ghost who suddenly appeared.

As a sorcerer, Qiachai naturally knew that the one who attacked him just now was the little ghost raised by the person opposite.

In anger, he quickly recited a few spells and slammed the small skull pendant onto the gambling table.

The red light in the skeleton's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and then a thin red smoke came out of its mouth.

The little ghost had no choice but to show up.

It was very afraid of the red mist and the skull, and did not dare to approach the area covered by the red mist.

"quack!"

The little skeleton head let out a strange cry, flew up from the gambling table, chased after the little ghost, and almost bit the little ghost with its open mouth.

The little ghost let out a cry of surprise and disappeared from where he was.

However, no matter where it appeared, the skull would chase it there, and the chase in the box was very lively for a while.

But the box was too narrow, and the little ghost quickly ran out of the box, and the skull also chased after him through the wall.

"I sensed your bat aura is very weak. You must be just getting started in black magic." Qiachai sneered, "Just because you have a good little ghost, you dare to attack me first? Unfortunately, now your little ghost has escaped. What other tricks do you have?"

Qiachai clapped his hands triumphantly.

A little ghost with its tongue sticking out appeared behind Li Zhen.

Qiachai ordered, "Get on him! Make him dig his eyes out!"

The kid raised his right leg, but hesitated and put it back.

Qiachai was startled and said angrily, "I'll let you get on top of him!"

The little ghost still didn't dare to step forward.

Qiachai became even angrier, clasped his hands together, and quickly recited a spell.

The little ghost held his head in pain and wailed, but still did not dare to approach Li Zhen.

"Your little ghost's perception is sharper than yours." Li Zhen stood up. "Is that all you have? How disappointing."

Since practicing the "Five Elements Evil Sublimation Method", Li Zhen has been able to suppress the evil spirits in his body.

The evil energy from the devil will only erupt when he is fighting with others or when his emotions are out of control.

At this time, his face was still as pale as before, and the round spots on his skin had not disappeared. He looked eerie, but not as scary as before.

Unless someone has keen perception, others may not be able to feel the terrifying power of Li Zhen.

This Chachai was one of the others.

Li Zhen was originally afraid that Qiachai would be scared away when he saw him, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly invite him to the box, which created the best opportunity for him to escape.

So he ignored Tirappa before.

He didn't stay in this world for long, so he didn't want to waste time, nor was he afraid of causing any trouble.

On the contrary, the bigger the trouble, the better.

In this way, you might encounter a more powerful sorcerer or ghost...

Seeing that Li Zhen was fine, Qiacai's expression changed slightly.

The red mist spit out by the skull can not only deal with ghosts, but also confuse people's minds without their knowledge.

But what's going on with this person in front of me? He doesn't even react at all.

And the little ghost didn't even dare to get close to him...

In fact, as soon as the little ghost appeared, Qiachai sensed the fear in the little ghost's heart.

He naturally assumed that the little ghost was afraid of him as its master.

The quality of his little ghosts was not high. After they were sacrificed and refined, their mental state was very low. After being dealt with by him for a while, they were very afraid of him.

Now it seems that this kid is not afraid of him, but afraid of the man surnamed Li?

Feeling uneasy, Chachai took a few steps back and looked at the man in front of him again.

"Who are you?"

"I'll give you one last chance. If you can't satisfy me, you'll die."

Qiachai's face changed drastically.

Taking a deep breath, he knelt on the ground.

He struck his chest three times.

Then, he chanted a spell in a loud voice.

Suddenly, Qiachai's throat bulged high, as if something was trying to squeeze out from it.

The constriction in his throat forced him to stop chanting the spell.

"Ho...ho..."

Chachai, whose cheeks turned red from choking, raised his head and stretched his neck as far as he could.

Something gray struggled to crawl out of his throat.

It was a bat the size of three fingers!

After crawling out of Qiachai's mouth, the bat spread its wings, opened its mouth, and let out a sharp scream, as if announcing its presence.

There was quite a commotion here, and some people had already noticed something was wrong.

Just as the bat was calling, the door of the box slammed open with a bang. Someone tried to forcefully break the door open.

But inside the box, pressing against the door was a vampire zombie whose strength far exceeded that of an ordinary human.

No matter how hard they banged on the door, they couldn't open it at all.

"Is this the evil creature you cultivated?" Li Zhen observed the little bat.

This bat's aura is far inferior to that of the red-eyed bat. It looks skinny and probably hasn't even completed its first metamorphosis.

With a grim expression, Chachai held the bat in his hands and shouted, "Please, Lord of Bones, kill the enemy for me. I will offer more blood and flesh as sacrifices!"

The bat did not attack Li Zhen, but instead bit Qiachai's hand directly. After sucking enough blood, it looked at Li Zhen.

The bat's eyes are pitch black, like two black beads hanging on its face.

Li Zhen, who was looking into those eyes, suddenly felt a little panic in his mind, but the panic quickly disappeared like ripples in a lake.

"Just to make people panic?"

Li Zhen was very disappointed with the other bat he saw.

He took the initiative to walk towards Chachai.

The bat held in Qiachai's palm felt Li Zhen's provocation and flew towards Li Zhen angrily, but was easily caught by Li Zhen.

The bat was not very fast. To Li Zhen, who had a powerful soul, it was no different from an ordinary flying bird.

The bat's teeth bit Li Zhen's index finger, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

Feeling Li Zhen's call, the red-eyed bat, which had already been stimulated to wake up, squeezed open the zipper, flew out of the backpack impatiently, and pounced on the bat in an instant.

There is a huge difference in size between the two.

Li Zhen loosened his hand, and the red-eyed bat that was biting the bat fell to the ground.

As soon as its wings spread, they completely wrapped the bat underneath.

For a moment, all that could be heard was a shrill "squeaking" sound.

When Qiachai saw Li Zhen catch the bat, his mind was in a mess.

When he saw the huge red-eyed bat pounce on its own bat to the ground, his whole body began to tremble.

"Once... No! That's not right! Two transformations... Impossible..."

As the bat let out a shrill scream, Qiachai suddenly hugged his chest and let out a miserable cry.

After the bat was bitten to death by the red-eyed bat, Qiachai's head tilted and he died with it.

Li Zhen grabbed the red-eyed bat that was wolfing down the vampire zombie and was about to swallow the bat together, and placed it on the chest of the vampire zombie.

Suddenly, a big hole was torn in the wall behind the box.

A man with short white hair, a suit, and scars all over his face walked into the box.

The man held a bone in each hand, and his aura was as ferocious as a demon, especially his eyes, which were extremely aggressive. No matter who he looked at, people could clearly feel his cruelty.

"My friend, you broke the rules of our casino. If you don't give us an explanation, how are we going to survive in the world of Jianghu?"

After taking a look at the dead Chachai, the man turned his attention to Li Zhen.

His right hand moved slightly.

The two white bones suddenly knocked together, making a "clang" sound.

The room became even more eerie.

A tall ghost appeared silently behind the man.

The ghost was wearing a tattered robe, with long hair tangled behind him like weeds, and mahjong tiles were embedded in his dry, brown face...
