Chapter 1564: Chapter 1558: Summary (Part 2)

The man in official attire hadn’t felt this sensation for hundreds of years.

This feeling reminded him of a type of pain he experienced when he was still alive in this world.

It’s like swallowing a dense mass of blades.

In an instant, capable of slicing a person’s mouth, throat, and internal organs into pieces.

The most crucial part is that death isn’t immediate.

Or rather, it’s very difficult to die.

It’s akin to being chopped into pieces.

But the thousand cuts start on the exterior.

This!

Starts from inside the human body.

The level of agony, or fear induced, is even more terrifying.

"Pfft!" The man in official attire immediately fell to the ground, spewing a stream of black blood from his mouth.

His face grew even paler, emaciated in haste.

Right now, blood was exceedingly precious to him.

Just now, not only did he fail to absorb any blood.

But instead, vomited out a mouthful.

And continued to vomit afterwards.

Hands clutching his throat, frantically clawing at it.

In an instant, he completely lost his combat abilities.

Bear in mind, this was a zombie as powerful as the Peak Soldier King.

Nearby, the injured woman in red also had her red dress torn quite a bit.

She noticed the situation here.

And had no desire to continue the fight with the middle-aged man.

She withdrew and drifted to her master’s side.

With a face filled with bewilderment.

What exactly happened?

How did the master end up like this!

This whole time, in her heart, the master was invincible.

And now?

Being beaten by two minor characters into such a state?

Among them, a man she previously knocked away.

What on earth transpired?

Xu Hong and Wenhai were also taken aback.

They vaguely understood that their blood had a certain restraint on the man in official attire.

Unexpectedly.

The effect was immense!

This was completely beyond their expectations.

If they hadn’t known earlier, they would have thought the Small Returning Pill had such an effect.

Seeing this scene, they might truly believe that this zombie faints at the sight of blood.

Or speculate another dreadful thought.

That is, our blood might be poisonous!

The red-clothed ghost squatted down, ready to help the man in official attire up.

But, the man in official attire completely ignored the gesture.

Still lying on the ground, using his hands to clutch his body, deliriously rolling around.

Xu Hong and Wenhai felt that it was time to consult the boss.

Therefore, they asked, "Boss, what do we do now?"

"Should we kill him?"

Lin Xi glanced at the man in official attire on the ground, momentarily choosing not to intervene, and instead said to Xu Hong and Wenhai, "Reflect on yourselves first!"

"What negligence occurred this time?"

"What details were overlooked!"

If he hadn’t come, there’s a likelihood that these two subordinates might have been killed.

Or rather, it’s not a mere possibility.

It’s a very high probability.

In terms of strength, the man in official attire was indeed superior to them.

Of course, they also had substantial advantages.

Yet failed to exploit them.

Xu Hong and Wenhai bowed their heads, blushing deeply.

First, when there was any unusual movement, they should have phoned the boss before investigating, regardless of the circumstances.

Moreover, it wouldn’t have affected anything significantly.

Yet, their trace of arrogance prevented them from making the call.

Bear in mind, the sudden change in climate is not something ordinary people can achieve.

Second, upon discovering the passage in the rockery, they should have called without hesitation, or asked others to call.

Unfortunately, upon entering, they were overwhelmed by the disclosed sinister aura.

Leading them to almost be wiped out.

Third, after entering, engaging in combat, and swallowing the Small Returning Pill, they should have detected the anomaly.

That is, the opponent’s weakened state and apprehension.

This detail was overlooked by them.

Causing them to still be subdued.

Bear in mind, by that point, they already held the advantage.

But were careless.

Or rather, the belief they couldn’t win affected them.

In expert duel, lack of confidence is the greatest hindrance.

Both thought about these, further deepening their blush.

After years of experience, they didn’t expect to make such mistakes.

Seeing the two realize their faults, Lin Xi nodded subtly in his heart.

In truth, he wasn’t aiming to reprimand them.

Given the circumstances!

No one could foresee.

Besides, with their King of Soldiers level prowess and so many people.

When encountering something genuinely weird, they can still handle it.

Unexpectedly, they ran into this kind of ghostly thing.

No one could anticipate.

This type of thing can influence people’s minds to a certain degree.

Causing!

Missteps step by step.

Moreover, Lin Xi couldn’t deny something.

Even if he encountered a being immune to blades or guns, and had an innate aura constantly weakening the opponent’s prowess, he’d be stumped too.

But here’s one thing.

Even when facing the strongest adversaries.

He’s calm and constantly analyzing.

As for something utterly irresistible.

Even calmness won’t help.

All it takes is a punch to defeat you.

Analyzing all you want is futile.

However, the zombie’s strength is slightly stronger than Xu Hong and Wenhai combined, plus the dragon aura from the Small Returning Pill.

Ultimately bringing both sides’ strengths on par.

Just that, they were influenced.

Perhaps a sign of giving up emerged mentally.

Simultaneously failing to recognize their own substantial aura.

Had they leveraged it, the outcome might differ.

This requires innate understanding, otherwise is hard to notice.

This isn’t necessarily their fault.

But after this encounter, the two will likely handle such sinister beings with more resilience.

After all.

Such appearing sinister beings are enormously powerful.

Globally, so many occurrences.

The strongest estimated being similar to this.

Bear in mind, facing such, apart from innate, it’s hard to counter.

Even innate faced, there’s potentiality for their escape.

Then, Lin Xi’s gaze fell on the man in official attire who ceased to roll.

Blood!

Ultimately still too scarce.

Furthermore, the dragon aura having been diluted, leaving only a trace in the blood.

Thus, the man in official attire had quieted down.

However, the injuries were very severe.

Prowess drastically diminished.

Possibly now, an initial level Soldier King could defeat him.

The red-clad ghost nearby also wasn’t particularly strong.

For the middle-aged man was not foolish.

He’d observed Xu Hong and Wenhai, surprised when they began cutting themselves.

Afterwards, realizing something shifted.

And cut himself once.

But with less effect on the red-clad sinister being.

Not due to dragon aura.

But because the ghost can dematerialize.

Moreover, move swiftly, his dagger struggled to pierce.

"Explain your origins!" Lin Xi demanded the two sinister beings on the ground.
