I Became a God in a Horror Game (Unlimited)
Chapter 357

The yellow talisman passed through Kong Xuyang’s side. Kong Xuyang quickly moved sideways and grabbed it with two fingers. He scanned the runes on it and sneered, “Low-level Yin Corpse Talisman?”

“Bai Liu’s dream is getting more and more beautiful.” Kong Xuyang smiled contemptuously and coldly. “Do you want to use a mere Yin Corpse Charm to break free from the inescapable net I set up long ago? Trying to turn things around and manipulate the Yin objects I control?”

After saying that, Kong Xuyang shook his fingers, and the two yellow talismans in his hands spontaneously ignited without wind, emitting blue-purple flames, and soon turned into ashes. He sneered, “Truly just wishful thinking. Even ghosts would reject such a small amount of Yin Energy.”

Yellow talismans kept coming out from the cracks in the tomb door, flying around, but were intercepted by Kong Xuyang and burned.

The disdain and complacency on Kong Xuyang’s face became increasingly more obvious. “It’s useless to make a final struggle before death. It’s almost a quarter past twelve.”

“Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng will be trapped in the underworld forever, right?” Yang Zhi stared at the crack in the tomb door. Logically, he should be relieved, but for some reason, he was getting more and more nervous. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his lips turning pallid and dry. “Brother Kong, is there really no solution to that Yin-Yang Separation Talisman?”

Kong Xuyang looked at Yang Zhi strangely and said, “You have also played Yinshan Village before. Don’t you know that the use of Taoist magic in this dungeon is based on Taoism and karma?”

“According to the setting of this game, the Yin-Yang Separation Talisman is a spell. If you use it, you must be lucky enough to escape at midnight when the Yin-Yang Intersection Talisman becomes ineffective. But we are guarding the tomb door now, and Bai Liu is trapped in my trap, so he can’t escape even if he has wings.”

“Or maybe a very advanced and upright Maoshan Taoist priest can undo the spell, but there is no such person at this stage in the dungeon. According to the Taoist teachings, anyone who uses evil magic will have it backfire on them. For example, Bai Liu is having it backfire on him right now.”

Yang Zhi forced a smile and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “That’s right.”

Although Yang Zhi knew in his heart that this was indeed the case, for some reason, the uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. If Kong Xuyang had not been guarding the crack of the door waiting for corpses, Yang Zhi would have wanted to turn around and leave.

Kong Xuyang leisurely watched the Yin Corpse Talismans that kept coming out of the door’s crack with interest. Later, he was too lazy to stop them. He lowered his head to glance at the watch, raised the corner of his mouth and began to count down slowly, “Ten.”

“Nine.”

Yang Zhi was so flustered that he couldn’t help but interrupt Kong Xuyang’s countdown, “Brother Kong, why don’t we go first, what if Bai Liu…”

“What if?” Kong Xuyang rolled his eyes impatiently, “I don’t understand just what you are afraid of. Bai Liu has no chance of turning things around, unless there is a decent Taoist priest with profound Taoism to help…”

Bai Liu’s unhurried voice came from the tomb door, “Eight.”

Yang Zhi and Kong Xuyang both paused and slowly turned their heads to look towards the tomb door.

Bai Liu’s clear voice counted down again, “Seven.”

Yang Zhi took a step back with a look of horror, pointed at the tomb door and said, “Brother Kong, Bai Liu is also counting down!”

“He’s just bluffing, why are you running away!” Kong Xuyang held Yang Zhi’s shoulders to prevent him from retreating as he stared fiercely at the crack of the tomb door, “I want to see what tricks he can come up with— Four.”

Bai Liu’s voice was calm, “Three.”

“Two.” Kong Xuyang spat in a cold tone, “Don’t worry, we just have to wait to win.”

Bai Liu said undisturbed, “One.”

The last number of the countdown sounded, and it was exactly a quarter past twelve. A gray haze quickly spread from both sides of the tomb passage. The baby-like laughter of the paper figurines and the coquettish giggles of brides became jarring. They seemed to come out from the tomb door at a distance.

“Invite guests onto the road to the underworld, dwell in a house of the underworld, and become residents of the underworld!”

These evil creatures seemed to be dragging Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng into the tomb, making sounds of clothes rubbing against each other and soles of shoes kicking on the ground.

Mu Sicheng struggled as hard as he could, “Get off! Let Bai Liu and I go!!”

Kong Xuyang was delighted, “It’s done!”

Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and was overjoyed, “Brother Kong, we won…”

Before Yang Zhi could finish saying the word “won”, a red light suddenly burst out from the crack of the tomb door, and a deafening loud sound came out.

The sound pulsated and throbbed, and each pulse made the ground vibrate violently, as if a massive object was jumping up and down on the ground repeatedly, shaking the underground tomb from side to side.

Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi were shaken several times by the vibration. Kong Xuyang held onto the wall in time to stabilize his body. Yang Zhi was startled so much that he fell to the ground, landing on his butt. He stared blankly at the tomb door that had cracked due to the vibration, “…What the hell is this?! Is there such a thing in the tomb?!”

The gloomy gray color that originally covered the tomb door faded away in an instant, and the paper figurines along with the brides inside made faint, fearful discussions before the sounds of footsteps and paper were heard, as if they were running away.

Kong Xuyang’s expression changed drastically, “What happened?! How did the Yin-Yang Separation Talisman get unlocked?! Bai Liu can’t possibly undo this talisman!”

“There is no living person in this instance of Yinshan Village who can break the evil spell of Maoshan!” Kong Xuyang was utterly confused, and took several steps back in front of the tomb door that kept cracking. “The only NPC who can, Taoist Priest Ma, who could sacrifice himself to break the evil spell, was driven away by me at the beginning! What happened?!”

The brick-walled tomb door cracked inch by inch as it vibrated, and a glaring red light appeared from inside. A hoarse roar, similar to that of a wild beast awakening, came from a distance, and as the roar spread, waves of evil energy disseminated, making the back of one’s neck feel frigid.

The tomb door split open, and Bai Liu’s pale face appeared behind it. Two fangs appeared on the side of his mouth as he looked at Kong Xuyang with a grin, “You set a good trap. There is indeed no living Taoist priest who can solve the evil spell.”

“But there are Taoist ghosts who can undo the evil spells.” Bai Liu smiled halfheartedly, “Have you forgotten who this tomb is buried to?”

Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi were both silent, then slowly and stiffly turned their heads to look at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu raised the Yin Corpse Curse that Kong Xuyang had initially laughed at, and said with a smile, “This little bit of Yin Energy is indeed rejected by ghosts, but it is enough to wake up the master here.”

Kong Xuyang looked in disbelief at the zombie behind Bai Liu, who was approaching him. The zombie was wearing Taoist clothes, holding up his hands with long and thick black nails, jumping high step by step.

The zombie’s body was covered with brand new and sloppily written yellow talismans, almost completely covering its face, leaving only a pair of black eyes and the bluish-green, wrinkled, dry skin around its eyes. Those yellow talismans were actually Yin Corpse Charms.

With just one look, Kong Xuyang knew this thing was the most dangerous monster in the entire Yinshan Village dungeon — the Hundred-Year-Old Zombie Taoist.

There were many burial objects in the tomb along with many villagers in Yinshan Village who died without reincarnating, just to gather enough yin energy and resentment to create this zombie.

Yang Zhi collapsed first. “Bai Liu, are you crazy?! If we wake it up, we will all die!”

“I know.” Bai Liu was unmoved. He shrugged to show his regret with a half-hearted smile on his face. “But I’m going to die anyway, and I thought since I’m here, it would be more cost-effective to drag you to be buried with me.”

Symbolizing the gloomy atmosphere of the underworld, all the scattered paper figures dissipated as the zombie Taoist priest with red light emitting from him jumped closer. When the zombie Taoist priest was about to jump to the tomb door, a seemingly invisible road blocked the zombie’s path, preventing it from jumping further.

Kong Xuyang stared at it intently, his heart almost jumping out of his throat. “It’s the Yin-Yang Separation Talisman that’s taking effect!”

“Hurry up and trap it!” Yang Zhi’s face turned colourless with fear. He prayed with both hands that the talisman drawn by Bai Liu would be very effective and could trap the end level boss.

Fuck, if this thing is really released, what the hell can they still play? Running was useless so they’d just be waiting to die!

The zombie Taoist priest with yellow talismans all over his face exhaled a visible breath of white air from his lips. He slowly lowered his head with his pair of black purple eyes looking down at the road. The nail of his right index finger moved slightly, seemingly drawing talismans and pinching fingers in the air.

“It can’t be…” Yang Zhi was stunned, “It still remembers how to do these Taoist techniques after it died?!”

“It has profound Taoism and is very familiar with these techniques.” Bai Liu touched his chin thoughtfully and smiled, “It seems to meet the conditions for undoing the talisman?”

As expected, the ripple-like membrane on the road was broken after the zombie Taoist’s fingernail touched it for the last time. It sniffed twice in the air and came towards Kong Xuyang without hesitation.

“Fuck!” Kong Xuyang cursed, pulled out a stack of yellow talismans and threw them behind him while sticking them on himself, then turned and ran, “Bai Liu, even if you got it out, you don’t have any means of self-defense. You will be the first to die in the pursuit, not me!”

“I can still clear the game even if you die! I can still survive, and I can still win!”

Bai Liu’s smile deepened, and he asked softly, “Really?”

The next second, the Taoist zombie seemed not to have seen Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng standing at the door. He jumped right between them and chased after Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who were running in front.

Yang Zhi, who was running after Kong Xuyang, heard the sound of jumping approaching quickly from behind. He turned around and was stunned. He turned back and frantically pulled Kong Xuyang’s sleeve, his voice so shrill that it almost split. “Brother Kong! That zombie didn’t chase Bai Liu and his teammate! It chased us directly!”

Kong Xuyang looked back, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but scream. He frantically flung yellow talismans to stop the zombie, who could kill them with his nails if he jumped again. “How is this happening?!”

In the hands of this powerful zombie, those yellow talismans were all undone in just a few breaths, and then it leaped and chased after them again.

Looking at the zombie Taoist’s retreating back and listening to the hysterical screams of Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, Mu Sicheng felt refreshed but also slightly confused.

Mu Sicheng looked down in confusion at himself, who had completely returned to normal the moment the Yin-Yang Separation Talisman lost its effect. He turned to look at Bai Liu and said, “If this zombie Taoist wanted to kill living people, then why didn’t this zombie Taoist go after us? We are also living people now, yet it completely ignored us.”

“This Taoist zombie is not hunting down living people.” Bai Liu nonchalantly watched the Taoist zombie’s retreating back. “It’s hunting down outsiders.”

Mu Sicheng was getting more and more confused. “Outsiders? Do you mean people who are not from Yinshan Village? But if Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi are considered outsiders, aren’t we also considered outsiders?”

“We were outsiders originally.” Bai Liu smiled and touched Mu Sicheng’s head affectionately, “But after you married more than 30 wives from Yinshan Village, we are no longer outsiders.”

Mu Sicheng: “…”

Mu Sicheng pointed at the zombie’s back and retorted aggrievedly, “No, according to this, you didn’t marry someone from Yinshan Village, right? You are also an outsider. Why didn’t the zombie chase you?”

“What are you talking about, silly child?” Bai Liu’s eyes became more and more affectionate. “I presided over your wedding, ate at your table, and made trouble in your bridal chamber. Of course, I am considered an elder from your family. How can I be considered an outsider?”

Mu Sicheng: “…”
