Chen Xiaoyao knows this truth very well.

(Oh my god, it seems that I, Chen Xiaoyao, am really doomed this time. Hey, it’s my fault too. After all, the opponent is a man with great supernatural powers, and he is also an earth-bound spirit. Why am I still trying to destroy him... Now I am playing

Get off the boat,

I can’t blame others. Haha, Master, I can’t help you, I may not be able to continue the tradition for you. Yes, after all, my death will mean that the Chinese tradition will be cut off and completely disappear from the world.)

(Taoism, I am the last trace of true Taoism in China. After my death, it is estimated that there will only be those fake Taoist priests who amass money endlessly in the world. Yeah, I am a little unwilling to think about it...)

Seeing that his physical strength was exhausted and he was sure that he was about to be killed, for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao forgot about his fear and ignored his fear, so he started thinking wildly. The first thing that came to his mind was his long-dead master, who had a lot of expectations for him during his lifetime.

Gao, or in other words, the purpose of accepting him as a disciple was to pass on the Chinese tradition, but unexpectedly, he... thinking about it, his mind was gradually filled with unwillingness and regret.

(It would be great if I could pass on the Chinese Taoism until I die.)

His thoughts were frequently entangled and his mind was in chaos. Let’s not talk about Chen Xiaoyao’s current mental activities. As he ran, as the distance between the two parties became closer and closer, as the chill on his back became stronger and stronger, Chen Xiaoyao was frightened and didn’t know what to do.

It's a good last moment...

An accident happened!

………

His little physical energy was running low after running at high speed, but the reason why Chen Xiaoyao could still persevere was entirely supported by his perseverance. His perseverance, unwilling to accept the severance of his orthodoxy, prompted him to grit his teeth and run wildly, on this forbidden road.

He was struggling in the never-ending corridor on the fifth floor.

It was indeed a desperate struggle. The corridors were empty, and the rooms on both sides were locked. There were no stairs or elevators in the middle. The only ones that existed were roads and endless corridors.

Behind him, a head was chasing, a huge and hideous head with bloody flesh. If you look closely, it looked like a red skull that had lost its skin and was bloody.

"Hey hey hey hey!!!"

Listening to the laughter from behind and feeling the coldness on his back, there was no need to look back. Just by feeling, Chen Xiaoyao knew that the female locust was getting closer and closer. Even though he was not slow due to his Taoist skills, his gradually declining physical strength was very slow.

It is difficult for him to sustain it for a long time. If he continues like this, he will fall to the ground due to exhaustion of physical energy and stop within a minute at most. What will happen to him then? The answer is self-evident.

(I can’t run anymore. I can’t run anymore.)

but……

Who would have thought that just when Chen Xiaoyao was holding on to one more second to live and running like a machine, an accident happened.

Behind, the skull head that had been chasing him suddenly stopped moving, stopped chasing, and stopped on the spot, floating in the air in the corridor.

Why stop the pursuit?

It's not that the female locust chooses to give up, nor is it that the female locust is out of kindness and intends to save the prey's life, but because 'she' wants to kill the opponent as soon as possible, and it is precisely because she wants to kill the prey as soon as possible that 'she' stops chasing.

Is it because you want to kill your prey as quickly as possible that you stop chasing it?

It may seem contradictory at first, but in fact, the situation is not that simple.

In other words, the matter is not over, far from over.

Perhaps realizing that he could not catch up with the living person on the other side in a short period of time, the bullhead suddenly stopped and floated bearishly without any warning. Then, the bullhead turned his head and cast his red gaze at the door of the guest room on the side of the corridor.

squeak.

As the head turned towards the door, a second later, there was a sound, the door opened, and then a blond white woman with blue eyes walked out.

The woman has maintained a sluggish expression since she appeared. If she looks carefully, he will definitely call her name instantly:

Joanna!

Yes, the woman is none other than Qiao Na, the hotel receptionist who was separated from He Fei not long ago!

No one knows what is going on, and no one understands why the manhead appears just after looking at Qiao Na. The only thing that knows or can be seen is that at this moment, under the gaze of the female manhead, the blonde opens the door.

However, just as he stepped into the corridor, an even weirder scene happened in the next moment...

The woman's face began to blur, her body began to blur, and her whole person began to blur. When you look at it again, you will be shocked to find that Qiao Na has changed a person at some point. She has turned into another person who is completely different in appearance, body shape, and even clothing.

woman.

Lan Keer!

The description may seem like a lot, but in fact, all the above happened in just a few seconds. Chen Xiaoyao was at a loss in front of him. He was still running desperately, sweating like rain, unaware of everything happening behind him. As for Lan Keer...

As soon as the transformation was completed, the girl came alive. Under the gaze of the female head's eyes, she walked straight to the right and came to one side of the wall. Then she quickly raised her hand, stretched her hand to the opposite side, grabbed a box embedded in the wall, and held it.

Hold a certain handle, and finally, with a strong force, pull the handle downward.

Snap.

There was a crisp sound, and the next moment, darkness fell, all the lights at the top were collectively extinguished, and the originally bright corridor was instantly replaced by darkness.

There's a power outage.

It turns out that what Lan Keer just controlled was the electric switch, which is the main switch that controls the power supply of the entire fifth floor.

Next, an even weirder and even miraculous scene happened:

With the power outage on the floor and the dark environment, the originally endless corridor returned to normal in the blink of an eye. The supernatural ban was lifted instantly. On both sides, the disappeared elevators were revealed, the missing stairs returned to their original state, and the endless corridors also turned around at this moment.

is normal.

This is a gratifying result, a result that countless people have been waiting for for a long time. No matter how you look at it, it is beneficial to mankind. However, it is a blessing in disguise. Things in this world are never absolute, and sometimes bad things may happen.

Good things can happen, and good things can occasionally turn into bad things, and can even send people directly from heaven to the eighteenth level of hell.

ahead.

Da da da da!

(Um?)

As he gritted his teeth and ran, his field of vision suddenly went dark, and the environment suddenly became dark. Just when Chen Xiaoyao suddenly noticed something strange and felt something was wrong, before he could continue to think about it, he saw a wall suddenly appearing two meters in front of him, one representing the end of the corridor.

cement wall!

The result can be imagined. Because he was running so fast from beginning to end, and the wall appeared too suddenly, he was caught off guard. How could the young man stop the brakes and close his feet? In this way, driven by the inertia of the charge, he came into close contact with the wall.

, just hit the opposite wall hard!

Bang!

"oops!"

There was a crashing sound and screams of pain. Chen Xiaoyao was ejected from the wall on the spot and fell to the ground. Along with it, there was also a flying front tooth.

But pain returns pain, pain returns pain, regardless of the bleeding from the corners of his mouth and falling out of his front teeth. At the moment when the young Taoist priest cried out in pain and fell to the ground, Chen Xiaoyao had figured everything out in an instant, understood the answer, and was then swept away by a wave of despair.

Negative words engulfed the whole body.

The lifting of the ban allowed the end of the corridor that had disappeared to reappear, which seemed like a good thing. However, what really caused his pessimism and despair was precisely the restoration of the corridor.

Because, he has no way to escape now!

Ahead, the endless passage that originally had no end was blocked by a wall behind it, and he was just in the corner of the wall, at the end of the corridor!

I thought I could hold on for more than a minute, but unexpectedly the other party refused to let me live for even a minute!

(Grass!)

Unexpectedly, in order to kill him as soon as possible, Nuji took the initiative to unblock him, causing him to fall into a desperate situation in an instant.

There is no road ahead, and there is no hope of escape.

"Woo..."

Back to the topic, driven by fear, as soon as he fell to the ground, Chen Xiaoyao endured the pain and stood up quickly. He covered the bridge of his nose with his hand and turned around in shock. His whole body was terrified. It is true that he now knows that artificial power outage can also break the ban, but it is a pity.

What's more, it's too late to understand now, because...

"Hey hey, hey hey hey, eh hey hey hey hey!".

Sure enough, when he saw that the prey in front of him was blocked by the restored corridor wall, and when he found that the opponent was trapped and had no way to escape, on the opposite side, ten meters away, the skeleton head that had been staying in place smiled and let out a string of oozing words.

He laughed wildly, and then, under the young Taoist priest's eyes that widened in horror, his head changed.

The disappeared pieces of flesh grew back, and the torn epidermis healed again. In just a few seconds, the skeleton returned to its original shape, transforming back into the shape of a disheveled mango head.

What does this mean? What does it mean?

This meant that all the efforts were in vain. The evil-warming charms and mantras that Chen Xiaoyao had tried so hard to use earlier had no effect at all, and they never caused any harm to the woman from the beginning to the end.

And the other party is just a clone, just a clone of that earth-bound spirit!!!

"Ah, ah..."

Ta, da, da.

Seeing the current situation clearly and witnessing this scene, Chen Xiaoyao became afraid. Under the pressure of increasingly intense fear, he involuntarily began to retreat, repeatedly retreating until his back was against the wall, until he could no longer retreat.

There is no doubt that the young man is extremely frightened, but that's all.

Yes, even if the fear reaches its peak, even if there is no way to escape behind him, Chen Xiaoyao is Chen Xiaoyao after all, and he is a Maoshan Taoist priest. At present, he still barely remains calm, while his mind is running rapidly, thinking crazily, trying to figure out how to escape.

After all, the current situation is clear at a glance, and he is like a mouse cornered by a cat. Regardless of whether he feels unwilling to do so, strictly speaking, he is basically dead.

He's dead, blowing out the lamp and pulling out the wax is all over!

(No, I can’t die yet. My lofty ideals have not yet been realized. My Taoist revival has not yet begun. I can’t die. I can’t die here. I must have a way, there must be a way!)
To be continued...
