Chapter 163

The sound of shaking became more and more intense.

It was as if something was slapping hard inside the coffin.

Slap!

The first coffin opened, and the coffin lid fell heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

There was no one inside the coffin, only a blood corpse without skin. The blood corpse raised an arm and grabbed at Wu Xian and the others listlessly.

"Ah... ah..."

The blood corpse seemed to want to say something, but he had no vocal cords and couldn't say anything.

Then came the second, the third. Each time a coffin lid fell, it was a loud bang, making the hearts of the eight people tremble.

Most of the things in those coffins were skinless blood corpses, or charred corpses, or unformed rotten flesh, like the residue of the malevolent entities previously eliminated by Wu Xian and the others.

Although their appearance was terrifying, they did not bring too much of a sense of threat to everyone.

Boom!

The last coffin lid fell.

Inside was no longer something nauseating, but the corpse of an old man—it was exactly the old man who had died on the bus at the very beginning!

Except for the eight people including Wu Xian, the corpses of all others had been damaged. Only this old man's corpse remained intact. His body was covered in corpse spots, and his face was deathly pale yet glowing with a green light, looking extremely eerie.

After the old man appeared, all the disgusting things like blood corpses and broken flesh around turned into a black mist and surged towards the old man. The old man's form was deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wei Dian pointed his finger, and a wind blade cut into the black mist.

He tried to interrupt the transformation.

But the wounds cut by the wind blade healed in an instant. During the transformation process, the old man's recovery ability was incredibly strong. Attacking him at this time was the least cost-effective.

This made Wu Xian miss Shi Ji again.

With him there, how could any malevolent entity transform in peace?

Soon, the monster's final image appeared. It was a humanoid monster over two meters tall, with disgusting things like human heads and internal organs hanging on its body. Its huge body was topped with the old man's tiny head, giving people a terrible sense of disharmony.

The monster's left arm was only slightly larger than a normal person's, but its fingers were as sharp as razors, while the right arm was entirely alienated, looking like a huge sickle composed of flesh, blood, and bone.

This deformed flesh monster was the ghost born at the second watch!

Wu Xian shook his head slightly.

So this was it. Although this monster looked a bit scary and belonged to the kind of image that couldn't appear in youth programs, and its strength might be relatively strong, the tension it brought to everyone was actually very weak.

No matter how terrifying a tangible thing is.

It cannot compare to the horror brought by an intangible thing.

Just at this moment.

Clang... Clang, clang!

Suddenly, a slow and two fast gong sounds came from outside, and the night watchman shouted loudly.

"It's the third watch!"

"Third watch, midnight, all is peaceful. Do not light lamps, for the malevolent entities are coming..."

The night watchman finished speaking.

It officially entered the third watch, which is from 11 PM to 1 AM. This period is the time when the Yin and evil aura is most intense in a day.

The eight people in the mourning hall, one by one, lost their composure.

Their scalps were almost about to explode, their hearts were about to stop beating, and a sense of fear climbed into their hearts...

Where is the malevolent entity?

Where is that huge malevolent entity transformed from the old man?

The eight of them had been staring the whole time, not even blinking, but that flesh malevolent entity had disappeared so abruptly!

Wu Xian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He felt a bit regretful; he shouldn't have looked down on this flesh malevolent entity.

It's like how a big cockroach appearing in the house isn't scary, but when the big cockroach disappears, the sense of terror directly goes up several levels.

The same goes for malevolent entities. When you know where the malevolent entity is, the level of fear is average, but when the malevolent entity is present yet invisible, the fear is boundless!

No one knew where this malevolent entity was right now.

Perhaps the hideous bone-and-flesh sickle on its right arm was currently aimed at someone's throat...

Sss...

Granny He did a backflip, her movements more agile than a monkey's.

Her head was covered in sweat, and there was a small wound cut on her neck, with blood flowing out continuously. Just now, the malevolent entity had swung its blade at Granny He's neck; if it weren't for her quick reaction, her head would have already been cut off.

"The malevolent entity is still here, we just can't see him!"

Boom!

Su Mi immediately swung his crescent blade, slashing at the position where Granny He had been just before. After the big blade fell, a cluster of flames burst out; he had even enchanted this crescent blade.

But this slash hit nothing.

After the malevolent entity finished attacking someone, it wouldn't wait in place.

Wei Dian's face was gloomy. If he could laugh, he could still use the breeze to explore the position of the malevolent entity, but in this grave, he was not allowed to laugh.

Pfft!

Hu Yunkuan suddenly let out a miserable cry. His stomach was suddenly scratched with several blood marks, and then his whole person was pressed against the wall, the flesh on his face deformed by the pressure.

Guan Daorong swung his snake spear, stabbing wildly into the air, resolving Hu Yunkuan's predicament.

He didn't like saving people.

But Hu Yunkuan was his partner in the next room; if Hu Yunkuan died, he would have to go to the study by himself.

Then Liang Fang's abdomen was suddenly hit hard.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, and Wei Dian also reacted immediately. Accompanied by pfft sounds, his Gale Incantation injured the malevolent entity, but this level of damage was simply not enough to be fatal to the malevolent entity.

After several harassments.

Everyone tensed their nerves.

They realized that this malevolent entity might be the most terrifying enemy they had faced since entering this Fudi.

Although Liu Baoyu's evil dragon was powerful, it wasn't targeting them.

Du E gritted her teeth.

"Everyone, stand in the middle!"

She used her broom to sweep a circle in the center of the room. After sweeping this circle, the broom suddenly scattered, turning into straw all over the floor; its usage count had been exhausted.

Everyone who had seen her use the broom in the banquet hall earlier immediately understood what she meant.

The places swept by this broom would carry bad luck. As long as that monster stepped on it, it would make mistakes itself, and at that time, this monster would be nothing to fear.

Although Granny He and Su Mi hadn't seen it, seeing everyone's actions, they also followed everyone's example and stood in a small circle within the circle drawn by Du E.

They watched the surroundings vigilantly, so that no matter from which direction the invisible malevolent entity launched an attack, they could realize it at the first moment and counterattack.

This circular defensive formation was indeed very secure.

But Wu Xian still felt a bit uneasy.

Why didn't that malevolent entity try to stop them from forming this formation that was disadvantageous to it?

Wu Xian closed his eyes.

Carefully distinguishing the sounds and smells, the slight increase in perception brought by the improvement in cultivation came in handy in this situation.

Hu... hu...

Heavy breathing came from behind him.

Wu Xian's body stiffened instantly. The reason why the malevolent entity didn't stop them from forming the circular formation was found...

Because from the very beginning.

It had been in the center of this circle!
