Chapter 719: Chapter 205: Ghost Veil (9K Words Mega Chapter)_2

"Buzz... buzz... crack!"

A few moments later.

The silver pendant hanging in front of Yan Li, which was responsible for guarding his physical safety, emitted the sound of unbearable breakage!

The metal collapsed, denting...

His face sunk into the compartment, witnessing the hellish scene inside; Ling Wei and the other two had shattered into pieces of flesh, while Zhou Xiao in the black suit on the seat was oozing crimson ghostly light.

A long knife had pierced through Zhou Xiao’s cheek.

Zhou Xiao smiled and looked up.

His cheek... no longer had flesh, only a few broken bones remained, eerily red light moving without wind, like the Ghost Veil draped over Zhou Xiao’s face.

No, that’s not right...

Yan Li’s gaze turned somewhat vacant.

Clearly, in the Deep Sea’s rating of items... the "Ghost Veil" was only a C-grade sealed item, yet Zhou Xiao’s strength had increased so tremendously after wearing it!

Zhou Xiao, looking up, asked Yan Li, who was slowly being pulled into the compartment.

"I just wanted to resolve this situation quietly... Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yan Li struggled to keep breathing.

His mind raced frantically... seeking a reliable way to deal with the situation at hand, yet he discovered a terrifying fact: within Zhou Xiao’s train compartment domain, the link to Deep Sea had also been cut off.

Due to unknown reasons, this extraordinary event had been severely underestimated... It far exceeded the "B- level" danger rating and was definitely not a case that a third-stage Transcendent could handle alone.

Like being enwound by spider silk, Yan Li.

In his mind, there were only two words.

No solution.

...

...

There was dead silence within the compartment.

Crimson blood light infiltrated every corner of the compartment; even after driving out of the tunnel, the last compartment remained bloody and dark.

Zhou Xiao enjoyed all this.

His lips curled slightly, completely satisfied... However, the next moment, at the other end of the compartment, a knocking sound was heard.

"Thud. Thud, thud."

Yan Li, almost completely pulled into the compartment, stared blankly at this scene.

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

At such a critical moment... how could there possibly be someone knocking?

Due to the emergency, Ling Wei’s group of three Initial Stage Transcendents had specifically reserved two compartments; the one before the last compartment had been set with sealed items, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter... Then Yan Li remembered what Wei Shu had said to him, that there might be another "High-level Transcendent" on this train, but after reaching the rear of the train, he had released his spiritual power.

From the beginning to the end, he had not sensed the presence of any other Transcendents.

Even now.

It was the same.

In Yan Li’s Spiritual Sense... the person standing outside knocking at the door seemed like a non-existent ghost.

His own spiritual power could not sense it?

Could it be a very strong Spiritual Transcendent?

In the darkness, Yan Li felt he saw a glimmer of hope!

And in Zhou Xiao’s Spiritual Sense, the same situation occurred.

The expression was already gone from Zhou Xiao’s skull-faced Ghost Veil.

But his skull face instantly darkened.

Because within his spiritual power, he couldn’t sense any living beings at the door.

Immediately.

The door was opened.

Standing at the door were a young man and woman.

Indeed, it was a very eye-catching pair, but only one attracted attention, the silent yet excessively beautiful young woman, dressed in an ancient red and white ritual attire, so beautiful that one could hardly look directly, as if she had walked out of a painting.

As for the unremarkable young man, he maintained a smile and slowly walked in, as if the prior knocking was merely a courtesy, that he would enter this way regardless of whether there was a response or not...

Gu Shen’s gaze overlooked the bloodiness on the floor.

He looked at Yan Li, who had fallen into the compartment, and Zhou Xiao, who was sitting at the end of the compartment, and politely inquired.

"It’s too dark, can I turn on a light?"

Yan Li suddenly felt very ironic.

In this compartment, where was there still a "light" to turn on?

Zhou Xiao’s domain filled every inch of space, probably an approaching fully developed Spiritual Domain, perhaps a special ability of the "Ghost Veil"; stepping into this domain was akin to delivering oneself to death.

The irony, was that the "mysterious Transcendent" he had placed his hopes on turned out to be just a young guy, looking about twenty years old. This young guy didn’t exhibit a trace of "Extraordinary Aura" at all, just like an ordinary person.

Such a person, of course, could not provide any sense of security.

They might... all die together.

Yan Li painfully closed his eyes.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Zhou Xiao’s gaze was fixed on the exquisitely beautiful woman in the ritual attire, not moving away for a moment... she was a beauty he had never seen in his life, and the blood flowing in her must be exceedingly sweet.

As for that noisy young man.

He didn’t spare him another glance, only instinctively raised his hand, wanting to directly destroy this guy’s physical body... just like how he had killed the three young Transcendents earlier.

The compartment was filled with "lines".

And the next moment.

Gu Shen turned on the light.

Of course, he didn’t physically touch the lights in the compartment.

Gu Shen pinched his fingers together, gently swept them across his brow, a blazing firelight ignited on his forehead.

The sudden bright light immediately filled the entire compartment!
