章節 45: Chapter 18: The End of the Long Night_3
"If the fierce ghost's ferocious firepower and resurrection ability made Kong Yulin feel troubled and fearful, then the scene of this man dismembering evil spirits dozens of times relentlessly, even continuing to fight when reduced to a skeleton, left her with only one impression: shock.
Kong Yulin had never witnessed this level of superpower; she couldn't perceive the limits of this man at all, only feeling that if he could still fight, she saw no possibility of escaping from his hands.
She had no resurrection ability, nor was she unkillable; she was just an ordinary Curse Forbidden Master.
... She didn't dare to gamble.
Kong Yulin understood, so she threw away the dagger and slowly backed away, raising her hands simultaneously.
"I understand, Mr. Cen, there is about half a day left until the Ghost House disappears. During this time, I won't appear in front of you two. Once the spatial isolation disappears, I will leave immediately."
Cen Dongsheng had lost the interest in paying attention to her. He walked over to An Zhizhen and extended his hand to her.
Then his hand was tightly grasped by the woman.
Kong Yulin watched the hand-holding couple, realizing these two had completely dismissed her presence, thus breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around to leave.
...
An Zhizhen was about to speak when Cen Dongsheng winked at her and whispered urgently:
"I... can't hold on much longer, need to rest."
Though he showed contempt for the opponent earlier in demeanor, deep down, he paid close attention to Kong Yulin's every move.
The reason he didn't retreat was that, the more critical the moment, the less weakness should be shown.
If his true condition were discovered, given the greedy nature of some Curse Forbidden Masters, they probably would not just leave with what they wanted.
In fact, if she really dared to gamble, he would definitely be the loser. His and Sister Zhen's lives actually hung in Kong Yulin's mind.
Sister Zhen nodded, silently supporting the young man's weight with her shoulder.
With An Zhizhen's help, he managed to stand firm, squinting into the distance to ensure the opponent had completely vanished from sight.
...
After walking to a corner, Cen Dongsheng's body suddenly wobbled, then he collapsed as if he were exhausted.
"Dongsheng?!"
Sister Zhen's voice, filled with surprise and worry, reached his ears.
"I'm, I'm alright..."
He slid down the wall, sitting on the ground and mumbling; his eyelids began to droop, his shoulders felt tremendously heavy, sagging along with them.
"Just let me, let me rest for a while..."
Cen Dongsheng's consciousness was gradually drifting away.
It seemed that the exhaustion brought by activating the "Undying Bone" for the first time exceeded his original capacity, causing an unsuitable condition...
Once his spirit relaxed slightly, waves of fatigue surged from every corner of his body, swiftly dragging his consciousness into the ocean of slumber.
At the very last moment before losing consciousness, he felt a soft embrace.
That feeling was as warm as spring, wrapping him in an endless darkness that brought peace of mind.
...
"You did very well, Dongsheng."
In a secluded corner of the hallway, only she and the unconscious young man were present.
An Zhizhen held the young man's head in her lap.
Her eyes lowered, she whispered softly in Cen Dongsheng's ear.
"Really well, well done... exceeded my expectations, truly remarkable."
Like a mother praising her child, her tone was filled with tenderness, her slender fingers gently caressing his cheek.
...
Outside, the endless night shrouding Xiaokang Building began to retreat slowly, with faint daylight seeping through the shattered spatial gaps.
The residents, who had been hiding scared in the camp, began to calm down and step out of their tents when no further terrifying commotions came from inside the building.
As they noticed the surrounding world and the sky brightening up, even those mostly oblivious to the situation over the past week started to realize that this sudden turmoil seemed about to end.
With the core removed, the spatial isolation effect caused by the "ghost house transformation" began to dissipate. All the chaotic order returned to normal, and they were about to return from the supernatural zone to the Human World.
Fear and confusion no longer marked people's expressions, their nerves, tightly wound for survival, relaxed a bit.
They felt tired and sleepy, involuntarily closing their eyes, some even dropping down to sleep soundly on the ground without regard for manners.
Undoubtedly, it would be the calmest sleep they've had in their whole lives..."
