Chapter 670: Chapter 472 Train

Li Yi looked at the dried corpse on the train without hesitation and immediately took out two hundred gold coins and handed them over.

The dried corpse let out a creepy laugh, extended its palm to take the two hundred gold coins, then unexpectedly opened its mouth and spat out two leather train tickets. The tickets had numbers: 64 and 65, and aside from the numbers, there was nothing else on them.

Li Yi took the train tickets and then handed one to Xuan Yuezi.

Although Xuan Yuezi felt a bit disgusted, she still accepted it. She now somewhat understood this world, which is to comply with the rules as much as possible, as doing so could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Although some troubles could be dealt with, committing taboos like before and attracting powerful evil beings would not be good.

The layout inside the old-fashioned train was somewhat peculiar, with a row of seats on each side, leaving most of the space for the middle aisle, making the aisle spacious but the seats rather narrow. However, above each table was a metal plaque indicating the number.

Li Yi held the ticket numbered 64.

He followed the seat numbers along the train to find it.

The carriage was not only occupied by him and Xuan Yuezi; there were also other people taking this train. These people were strange; some were warriors in armor, cowboys with guns and cannons, and even wizards with magic wands and hats... All sorts of people, but they seemed to be locals.

Their weapons, equipment, and even magic books should be from the shops within the building.

However, buying these things required a lot of gold coins.

As Li Yi observed them, these people also observed Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi.

They were filled with apprehension towards Li Yi.

Because not only was Li Yi tall, wearing Jiao Long armor, but his silver eyes were particularly striking in the dim train light. As he walked, the aura of a Martial Artist alone was intimidating, making others awe at his presence; if his Fist Intent erupted, it could instantly intimidate everyone in the carriage.

And although Xuan Yuezi wore a Daoist robe, she was elegant and noble, exuding a dragon and tiger energy between her glances, marking her as extraordinary.

In this world, there is an unwritten rule.

That is, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

Because in this perilous Dark World, beauty often signifies terror; some evil objects love to transform into beautiful women to lure people out of the building, only to mercilessly kill them.

However, besides normal people, there were also some abnormal things on the train.

Li Yi saw a ghastly white skeleton sitting there, with ghostly flames flickering in its hollow eye sockets, and also saw a man with a wolf’s head staring blankly out the window.

Fortunately, he was well-traveled enough to accept these peculiar people and things.

In contrast, Xuan Yuezi was very surprised, looking around because many things did not exist in her world, and certainly not on Earth.

"Number 64, here it is." Li Yi stopped, holding the number from the train ticket at the designated position.

But it seemed his seat was occupied, with an old woman sitting there, dressed exquisitely and adorned with jewelry, wearing a pearl necklace, a jade bracelet on her wrist, and a large emerald gemstone ring on her finger. To someone who didn’t know, she looked like a wealthy lady on a trip.

But this woman was indeed very old; her hand was full of wrinkles, her face painted with ghastly white foundation, exuding a faint corpse-like odor.

Li Yi frowned; he did not like this corpse odor.

Because this smell always meant something eerie and terrifying.

"This is not a normal person." Li Yi instinctively thought, but out of politeness, he said, "Ma’am, you’re sitting in the wrong seat. Number 64 is my seat."

However, the old woman did not respond to Li Yi, continuing to turn her head slightly to look out the window.

"Ma’am, did you hear me? You’re sitting in the wrong seat," he repeated.

But the old woman still did not respond.

"It’s no use, she’s been sitting there for a long time now, I saw her here when I got on the train. You’re unlucky to have bought a ticket for this seat; it’s best to get off and purchase another ticket while the train hasn’t started. With some luck, next time you won’t get number 64."

At this moment, a young man sitting not far away in front, wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, spoke up with a kind reminder.

"Her ticket has long expired; no one can stay on the train indefinitely. Friend, listen to my advice, don’t provoke her. If she indeed has a problem, it would be a big hassle. Keeping her quiet is good enough, at least everyone in this car is still alive," suddenly another passenger reminded in a deep voice.

"No, I can’t let someone take my seat for no reason. This is simply bullying the young." Li Yi would not accept such a thing.

Getting a refund and buying another ticket? What kind of logic is that?

He reached out to pat the old woman, trying to get her out of his seat.

But when Li Yi touched the old woman, she suddenly turned her head, her pitch-black, pupil-less eyes staring at him. At that moment, the lights in the carriage seemed to flicker, as if afraid of the old woman, the light itself avoiding her.

A darkness seemed to spread outwards from the old woman.

"You’re sitting in my seat and glaring at me? Get out of the way."

Li Yi, not one to tolerate such behavior, let his Gang Qi erupt from his hand, accompanied by intertwining silver radiance. Then, his Divine Power burst forth, lifting the heavy body of the old man from the seat and tossing him onto an empty seat nearby.

However, this behavior seemed to have enraged the old man, who opened his mouth and let out a beast-like roar. His mouth was full of sharp fangs, and his old, wrinkled body suddenly seemed to stretch out, rapidly growing and enlarging.

This scene startled the other passengers in the carriage.

"There’s definitely something wrong, she’s not human, she’s a monster! Damn, how did she sneak onto the train?" One passenger felt instantly horrified and instinctively considered getting up to leave the train, even if it meant losing a hundred gold coins.

Monster?

Li Yi had never heard of such a thing, but judging by the reactions of others in the carriage, it must be a very dangerous evil object.

Since it wasn’t the old guy occupying the seat, it would be easier to handle.

Without any hesitation, he took a big step forward, letting his Fist Intent explode. In an instant, the other passengers in the carriage appeared dazed, as if they saw Li Yi transform into a wrathful golden deity, towering and imposing like a mountain, now enraged, intent on destroying all evil before him.

Stunned by the Fist Intent, the monster released a sharp scream, like waves of demonic sound that made people feel excruciating pain; even Li Yi felt his soul jump, with a compulsion to leave his body.

Was this a soul attack?

Li Yi wasn’t one to indulge; under the Fist Intent, he extended his fist, the deity in wrath, releasing Mighty Divine Power. Silver radiance intertwined within his Divine Bloodline, mingling with Gang Qi, transforming into a bolt of lightning striking the monster’s head.

Such power was unleashed.

The relatively small carriage’s air exploded.

The monster’s head instantly exploded, and its enlarged body flew backward, crashing heavily against the carriage wall.

The carriage, crafted from some unknown material, withstood such immense impact without any damage, continuing to run steadily.

"Are you kidding me, he punched out a sonic boom?"

Affected by the dispersed residual power, the other passengers immediately widened their eyes in disbelief, with the young man in the leather jacket closest to him unable to help but bleed from his nose, feeling heavy-hearted, his heart pounding violently, a sense of indescribable suffocation.

At such close range, he could feel the air being torn apart; if anyone were caught within, it would be like a small boat entering a vast ocean, the ocean now enraged, he felt insignificant and powerless.

This kind of punch couldn’t possibly be thrown by a human.

"He must be the real monster," the young man in the leather jacket couldn’t help but swallow hard.

There’s nothing scarier on the train than this.

After Li Yi’s punch, the monster did not instantly die; its expanded body, now thin and long, writhed and struggled on the ground. Though it had lost its head, its Life Force remained resilient, wounds even showed signs of healing, and the head seemed to want to regrow. However, the Divine Bloodline’s power spread at the injury, silver lightning intertwined, seemingly possessing the power to dispel evil, preventing its head from regenerating, the wound healing.

"Is this really an evil object, and it’s not dead yet?" He was taken aback.

If it were a normal creature, a punch that shattered its head would definitely have killed it, yet the monster remained vivacious.

No wonder the people in the carriage were so terrified of this thing.

If it were to go on a rampage, no one could stop it; even just now, that scream alone was enough to kill numerous people.

The monster continued to struggle, growing long and sharp claws from its hands and feet, painfully clawing all around, sending sparks flying in the train carriage, leaving clear scratches, but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t regrow its missing head.

"Taiyi, use that scythe from before to finish it," Xuan Yuezi noticed the anomaly and spoke up.

Li Yi immediately realized, he took out a dead soul scythe from the Five Elements Bracelet.

He had many of these, collected from hunting dead soul creatures in the city before.

The scythe was sharp and had the trait of harming souls.

Li Yi wielded the scythe to slash; under tremendous force, the dead soul scythe instantly severed the monster’s hands and feet.

At the severed locations, blood splattered while the wounds showed no sign of healing.

Evidently, the scythe held by dead soul creatures effectively restrained this monster.

The monster now sensed lethal danger; its body began to shrink rapidly, so much so that it transformed into a girl missing limbs. This girl had no face and looked extremely eerie, shrinking pitifully in the corner.

Li Yi felt no pity for monsters, swiftly dismembering the creature again with the scythe.

Blood splattered, quickly absorbed by the train; the scratches left by the monster before were now healing.
