Chapter 228

With a creak.

Zhang Jing slowly pushed open that half-open door. And the moment it opened, everyone felt a cold aura strike, giving people a chill from the depths of their souls.

"Team Leader Zhang Xun, are you here?" Qin Bing asked.

A few people were not afraid either. After all, with five experts joining forces, in this world without transcendence, as long as they weren't targeted by state-level power, they could almost walk sideways, even when facing fierce ghosts, they didn't feel weak at all.

But when a few people walked into the room, they discovered that there was absolutely no trace of Zhang Xun here.

A living person seemed to have really disappeared under everyone's noses.

They didn't suspect Zhang Xun was dead, but thought whether Zhang Xun had suddenly pushed them aside for some reason and slipped away alone?

It was not difficult at all for a Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse to leave this building while avoiding their perception. It was just that the operation was going well; Zhang Xun suddenly leaving had no reason at all and didn't conform to common sense.

"That dark red costume is very special..."

Suddenly, Li Yi's gaze was attracted by that special clothing in the room.

In a modern room, an ancient-like costume appeared. This was very abrupt. After all, this was not a theater, nor was it a clothing store. Ordinary people wouldn't buy such clothes. Of course, it didn't exclude people having hobbies and liking such clothing, but that probability was very small.

The others also looked at that dark red costume one after another.

What was somewhat weird was that clearly there was no wind in this room, but the wide sleeves of that costume kept swaying with the wind, as if waving at them. And there was always a layer of darkness that couldn't be seen clearly inside the costume, appearing somewhat abnormal.

"Look at the cracks on the ground next to that clothing; they weren't formed naturally. They should have been stepped out forcibly by someone."

Then, Qin Bing pointed at the cracks on the ground and said: "The only ones who can do this here are us Evolvers. So this should be the footprints left by team leader Zhang Xun. That is to say, he made a move at some point."

"If that's really the case, then why didn't we hear any sound at all nearby when there was such a big movement just now?" Zhang Jing frowned.

"That's why it's very strange. But I think team leader Zhang Xun's disappearance must have something to do with this," Qin Bing said.

At this moment, Li Yi felt more and more that this room was very wrong. This feeling seemed to have been familiar before, but no matter what, he couldn't recall it. It was just that under an instinctive trend, he wanted to leave here—no, to be precise, to stay away from that dark red old costume.

That was the source of his inner unease.

Although everyone else in the room was fine and there was no Spirit Perception warning, Li Yi decided to trust this instinct of his.

Immediately, he turned and wanted to leave.

However, at this moment.

Creak!

A cold breeze blew, and the originally opened door actually slowly closed at this moment.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of others.

They looked back and saw the door that had been blown shut by the wind.

"Something's wrong. Something in this room seems to not want us to leave. Just now I felt something was wrong. Why would there be a cold wind blowing in a sealed room? Now it seems it might not be a cold wind, but that there is an unknown thing in the room."

Qin Bing immediately reacted at this moment, and he said immediately.

At this moment.

In the darkness, everyone's eyes glowed brightly, trying to find the hidden thing.

But even if they searched the room several times, there was still no direction.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a muffled explosion echoed.

Li Yi blasted out a terrifying strike without hesitation. This punch, let alone a door, would even blast a huge hole in a hard cement wall.

However, the bizarre thing happened again.

Such a powerful force exploded and bombarded this fragile door, but the door didn't move at all. Instead, a powerful counter-shock force came, making Li Yi's palm feel a bit numb.

"Can't break it?" Li Yi's pupils shrank suddenly at this moment, feeling shocked.

However, it wasn't just him who was shocked at this moment; the others also opened their eyes wide, appearing very inconceivable.

"No way, even a Spirit Perception Realm expert wouldn't dare to take such a strike head-on, but it couldn't shatter a door? What on earth is going on?" Qin Bing felt his cognition had been somewhat subverted.

That door wasn't reinforced concrete; it was just an ordinary wooden door. And such force falling on it didn't leave a single mark.

"Forget about the door for now; that costume is somewhat wrong." Suddenly, Zhang Jing's voice revealed a trace of tension.

That wide dark red costume originally hanging on the rack, accompanied by the swaying of the sleeves, actually slowly detached from the rack and floated up. At this moment, this clothing seemed to have become a living thing; they could even see the robe swaying, as if two legs were walking, and it was approaching them slowly and unhurriedly.

"What an evil piece of clothing. Could this thing be the ghost in this building?" Tao Yuan, as a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator, considered himself to have seen a lot, but the scene in front of him was also something people couldn't understand.

"Regardless of what it is, tear this old clothing directly to pieces. Even if it's a ghost, it has to die." After Qin Bing finished speaking, he immediately rushed out. At this moment, a burst of light suddenly appeared on his palm, and then this light became more and more intense, until finally, it actually ignited his entire palm.

That was not fire; it was pure energy condensed, possessing unimaginable destructive power.

Even a cultivator would be seriously injured if touched by that pure energy flame. It was unknown what method this Qin Bing used to control such a ball of energy flame.

However, no one would ask, because who among those who could become world-crossers didn't have a few secrets?

Qin Bing's burning palm hit that old costume instantly.

This seemingly light strike of his was enough to destroy everything in front of him. Even a fierce ghost would be burned to ashes in an instant after touching this energy flame, without leaving a single bit of ash.

"Useless?"

However, the old costume was still intact and hadn't been destroyed. Instead, the moment Qin Bing touched the old costume, deep in that shadow of the costume that couldn't be melted away, a pale, blackish, and cold palm suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Bing's wrist.

This kind of attack came abruptly, without any warning, making Qin Bing unable to even react.

No one could have thought that there would be something hidden inside that clothing. Clearly, it had been checked more than once just now, and there was nothing in that clothing.

A cold aura passed along his arm to his whole body, making Qin Bing feel an inexplicable sense of crisis. Even if there was no Spirit Perception warning now, he understood that if he didn't get rid of it as soon as possible, he would be in danger.

"Get lost."

Qin Bing shouted violently, and a burst of energy fire appeared on his arm, trying to force back the cold palm, but it had no effect at all.

This kind of energy fire that was enough to easily destroy fierce ghosts in their world failed here, and had no effect at all on that palm that wasn't a living person.

After realizing this point, Qin Bing exerted force again, trying to shake off the restraint by his own powerful strength.

However, it was still useless.

Those weird blue-black palms stretched out from inside the costume one after another, densely packed, and spread along Qin Bing's arm at an unimaginable speed. It seemed that in just a few seconds, his entire body would be swallowed.

However, at this moment.

Li Yi's tall figure arrived across the air. His vertical pupils glowed, and he delivered a punch. Under the explosion of the fist Gang, he smashed directly onto Qin Bing's arm.

Bang!

Blood and broken bones splashed.

One of Qin Bing's arms was instantly broken off. He seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly, and at the same time, a flash of panic and unease flashed in his eyes unconsciously.

"Li Yi, what are you doing?" Zhang Jing was stunned and said hurriedly.

"Losing an arm is better than losing your life. Qin Bing, what do you say?" Li Yi retreated rapidly again at this moment, widening the distance from that old costume.

"You're right, losing an arm is better than losing your life." Qin Bing's broken arm was bleeding profusely. His expression was somewhat pale, but he didn't blame Li Yi.

Under that kind of situation just now, breaking the arm was the best choice.

"You guys be careful. This thing is very weird. The methods used to deal with fierce ghosts before have no effect here at all. And relying on brute force alone can't deal with this thing. It looks very weak, but in reality, if you get entangled, you can't get away at all. I'm now a bit suspicious that team leader Zhang Xun might have already been killed by this piece of clothing."

Qin Bing said while immediately stopping the bleeding for himself, and at the same time, he stated a terrifying conjecture.

If even a Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse like Zhang Xun died under this weird piece of clothing, then they were even less likely to be opponents.

"Leave here, don't fight hard." Xu Xu Qiu Mei had already retreated at this moment. She looked left and right, and immediately rushed toward the only window in the room.

Her long, tight legs kicked violently, trying to shatter the window.

However, the weird situation appeared again.

Clearly the force was amazing, but that seemingly fragile glass had no movement at all, just like Li Yi dealing with that door just now, with no effect.

"How could this be..." Xu Xu Qiu Mei was stunned.

"Are you kidding me? Five of us, four Spirit Perception Realm experts, can't even break a door or a window? Let me try." Zhang Jing didn't believe in evil. She used her guidance technique, and one of her fingers glowed, bright and crystal clear, then pointed at the glass window.

This strike, which was enough to destroy a wall, also didn't cause any ripples.

That window was still intact.

"Sure enough, whether it's pure force or cosmic energy, none of them can deal with the ghosts of this world..." Li Yi's expression turned gloomy at this moment.

His fist Gang condensed just now couldn't shake the door, so martial arts Qi and blood were also useless.

Force, cosmic energy, Qi and blood—all three had been tried. What remained was Primordial Spirit attack.

"Let's try using Spirit Perception on the glass window together." Li Yi suggested at this moment: "Maybe Primordial Spirit consciousness attack can be useful."

"Okay!"

The group didn't have any hesitation. In the darkness, pairs of eyes glowed suddenly.

They didn't attack that weird costume, but only wanted to break the glass window and escape here. If even the glass window couldn't be broken, then it would be truly desperate.

As the Spirit Perception appeared, the dark room suddenly brightened.

But that glass window was still intact.

It could be seen that Primordial Spirit consciousness attack was also useless.

"Even this doesn't work?" Qin Bing's somewhat pale expression became even uglier.

At this moment, the others also fell silent, feeling that something was wrong.

This world might not be as safe as they had imagined before. This world might be very dangerous, very dangerous. It was just that these dangers were covered up by the fake prosperity on the surface. When they first entered this world, they didn't notice it. Now, after they actively explored this supernatural weird power, they understood.

What to do now?

At this moment, everyone had no ideas. The atmosphere in the room became oppressive and suffocating immediately. A kind of despair and horror began to breed in everyone's heart.

Because that wide old costume was constantly walking toward them. And in that costume, not only were there blue-black weird palms stretching out, but also a pair of dead man's legs without shoes reached out.

It was as if some terrifying thing that had been silent for a long time was waking up.

Five people were trapped in the room, unable to escape, and unable to destroy this costume. Their powerful strength had no place to be used at all. Just like ordinary people, they could only surrender.

"Are we going to be wiped out here on the first day of crossing worlds?" Zhang Jing's slender body kept retreating at this moment, the horror on her face becoming more and more obvious: "What on earth is the ghost in this world? Why is there no way to deal with it with any means? If this is the case, then why are there still people alive in this world? Shouldn't they have been killed by ghosts long ago?"
