"Restart? No, it's not a restart. It's not as efficient as a restart, but it's pretty good."
Zhang Xianguang, who was bound by chains, took a hard look at Gu Chengjun, who was recovering.
Gu Chengjun, who had been cut into two parts by his knife, was recovering quickly at this moment. Some special supernatural power made his body regress like a progress bar and began to recover from the divided state.
But this seemingly amazing recovery method is not actually a restart in the strict sense, because the restart process cannot be so slow. The so-called restart is actually letting the supernatural power affect time, so that oneself or everything within a certain range can
Return to a moment in the past in an instant.
However, for a ghost controller who has died long ago and has not been outside for nearly twenty years, it is incredible to be able to master such a method of recovering from injuries.
However, at this moment, Gu Chengjun obviously had no intention to respond to Zhang Xianguang's compliment.
After recovering, Gu Chengjun only had one thought in his mind.
"Sending you on your way."
When the two bodies merged into one, Gu Chengjun seemed to have made up his mind. He immediately tightened his grip on the chain in his hand, and then pulled it back violently, as if he wanted to use this pull to make the chain further restrain Zhang Xianguang.
.
Suddenly.
As he pulled the chain back, the rusty chain suddenly burst out with a colder aura, as if another murderous pattern was satisfied, and this inexplicable danger began to attack Zhang Xianguang through the chain.
In fact, under the training of Gu Chengjun, Ghost Chain has two killing laws in addition to the killing law of death if touched.
If you pull it, you will die, if you imprison it, you will die.
What seems to be only one chain actually contains three terrible death curses, and this is why Gu Chengjun was called the Forbidden Ghost many years ago.
Even a fierce ghost would find it difficult to withstand the three deadly killing patterns at the same time.
At this moment, as Gu Chengjun pulled, the three fatal supernatural powers were triggered at the same time, and immediately locked onto Zhang Xianguang, who was bound inside.
The attack came suddenly.
The three fatal killing laws are extremely fatal when superimposed with supernatural powers. Gu Chengjun does not believe that Zhang Xianguang can still avoid any harm under such methods.
But such a confrontation method that forcibly triggers three murder patterns is actually an extremely risky behavior, because in a strict sense, Gu Chengjun has actually triggered two of the murder patterns.
When the supernatural attacks an opponent, it will also affect the ghost master himself who launches the attack.
However, the padlock hidden on the chain came into play at this time.
Gu Chengjun's action of pulling back the chain was specially conceived. While pulling back the chain, he also made a tilted posture with his arms to trigger the padlock on the chain to protect him.
With only two supernatural attacks to endure, Gu Chengjun firmly believed that Zhang Xianguang would not be able to withstand the supernatural attacks before him, relying on the protection of the padlock and other means of self-protection.
And things seemed to be just as he expected.
next moment.
Zhang Xianguang, who was still struggling under the chains, immediately stopped moving. He lowered his head, his face became ashen, his body lost the ability to move, and began to rot rapidly, as if he was completely dead.
"Success?"
Gu Chengjun did not expect that Zhang Xianguang would be killed by him like this.
According to his speculation, Zhang Xianguang should have other means, such as some supernatural props that have been collected for many years but have not yet been used.
Gu Chengjun didn't know how many methods Zhang Xianguang had mastered, but he knew very well that his teacher could never be that simple.
For a person born in 1942, judging from his age, Zhang Xianguang has been involved in the supernatural circle for even longer than he has been alive. A ghost controller of this level must have mastered many supernatural methods, and it is impossible for him to be just like this.
killed.
That was when Gu Chengjun had doubts.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Zhang Xianguang's body began to fester rapidly after his death, and the flesh and blood fell off until only a skeleton was left. Then, before the chains continued to be tightened, the bones on the skeleton were broken and turned into powder and scattered on the ground.
Zhang Xianguang's corpse turned into a puddle of ashes out of thin air. Even the ghost chains did not react to the sudden change, and fell in a circle around the ashes, as if they were circling the ashes.
"Something's wrong, this is not caused by the ghost chain attack."
Seeing this scene, Gu Chengjun's eyes instantly became gloomy and his expression changed.
The ghost chain was cultivated by him bit by bit. He knew exactly how to use it to kill people and what the corpse would look like after killing someone.
And the killing ability that turns into a puddle of ashes is definitely not the ability of the Ghost Chain.
There is something wrong with this Zhang Xianguang.
"outside."
Suddenly, Gu Chengjun raised his head and seemed to notice something.
He could feel that there was some kind of supernatural interference on the path outside the ghost photo studio.
This supernatural interference seems to have always existed, but it has never been exposed before.
The reason why he is exposed now is probably not because Zhang Xianguang is dead, but because the real Zhang Xianguang is finally willing to show his face.
immediately.
Gu Chengjun's figure disappeared into the ghost photo studio and appeared on the path outside the ghost photo studio.
Although this path is set up in front of the ghost photo studio, it is also part of the ghost photo studio. As a manager, of course, he can freely appear anywhere in the ghost photo studio, and can only appear in the ghost photo studio.
within the area it belongs to.
But when Gu Chengjun came to the path outside the ghost photo studio, his eyes suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Just on the path in front of the ghost photo studio, a winding path extending from nowhere suddenly appeared and was forcibly inserted beside the path in front of the ghost photo studio. It was unreasonable and did not even pass by the ghost photo studio.
The consent of the library administrator.
What makes people even more frightened is that at this moment, a haze-like darkness is shrouding the winding road.
Darkness fell, and the sky there seemed darker than the sky in the ghost photo studio. It was gray, as if the whole world was gray.
But the winding road was not dark, but lit up with a ray of light.
This ray of light is not a glimmer of light in the darkness, but one, or rather a ray of light gathered together by seven groups of rays of light, which is extremely conspicuous.
And in the middle of this ray of light, Zhang Xianguang stood there motionless.
However, there was not only one Zhang Xianguang standing there, but seven Zhang Xianguang.
These are six people whose looks, clothes, and even the sword they carry are exactly the same as Zhang Xianguang.
Among the seven Zhang Xianguangs, one of them, Zhang Xianguang, seemed to be the main body of all Zhang Xianguangs. There was an oil lamp placed on his head, and the other six Zhang Xianguangs each placed six identical lamps at their feet.
Oil lamp.
Six oil lamps and six Zhang Xianguangs surround the Zhang Xianguang in the middle, forming a hexagon.
The oil lamp above the head and the oil lamps around him are arranged regularly in a shape. When the oil lamp burns, the light is dim and yellow, and it looks a little hazy and blurry when surrounded by darkness. It looks very strange, as if it is a practice scene.
.
But the strangest thing is that while the oil lamp is burning and shining, there seems to be a faint odor in the air.
The smell is a bit stinky, giving people the feeling that they will instinctively want to vomit after smelling it, like the smell of burning corpse oil.
"Seven-star lantern?"
Gu Chengjun immediately identified how the smell was produced, but he actually didn't care about how the smell was produced, because he knew the corpse very well and could tell what kind of smell would be emitted from the place after death.
Know it like the back of your hand.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think of some ancient legends.
When talking about seven lamps, many people will think of the seven-star lamp in folk rumors, commonly known as the "life-extending lamp".
Among the popular sayings, the Seven-Star Lantern has the saying that "if the main lamp is not extinguished within seven days, one period will be added." According to rumors, there are two people who use the Seven-Star Lantern to extend their lives. One is from the Three Kingdoms period.
Zhuge Liang of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty.
However, although Zhang Xianguang has indeed placed seven lamps at the moment, and these seven lamps are burning in fixed positions at the moment, the effect of these seven lamps is not to extend life, but to just look at it.
It is a supernatural method that you will find extremely terrifying.
At this moment, seven oil lamps and six Zhang Xianguangs appeared in Gu Chengjun's sight.
That's not all.
When Zhang Xianguang, who had the corpse oil lamp on his head, was illuminated by the oil lamp, a shadow was reflected on the ground nearby.
This is an abnormal shadow just by looking at it, because this shadow actually shakes and twists, as if it is trying to break free from the ground, as if it will be able to break away from the ground and stand up soon.
Although the shadow seemed to have not been completely perfected and was still in a dark state, the moment Gu Chengjun saw the shadow, he immediately recognized that the outline of the shadow looked very much like a person.
This is the shadow of Zhang Xianguang. The shadow still holds a big knife in his hand. However, this Zhang Xianguang has not yet been fully formed, so he is not standing on the winding path like other complete Zhang Xianguangs.
"This is the Zhang Xianguang that I killed. I see. Is that Zhang Xianguang just a clone?"
Gu Chengjun reacted immediately.
However, despite guessing the answer, such an answer made him feel despair.
At this moment, Zhang Xianguang finally revealed his truly terrifying side.
Not only is his plan terrifying, but the strength he displays is also despairing.
Even though Gu Chengjun thinks he is not bad in the supernatural world, he is not good enough to compete with Zhang Xianguang in front of him.
In the supernatural world, he had never seen any ghost master who could display such a level of supernatural power.
If there is really a one-on-one fight, Gu Chengjun is still somewhat confident that he can defeat Zhang Xianguang without being able to restart each other.
But for the situation in front of us, we can come up with the answer just by briefly evaluating it in our mind.
If measured according to the strength of the previous Zhang Xianguang, Gu Chengjun can only be confident of defeating three such Zhang Xianguang at most.
This is already his limit.
But right now, there are seven Zhang Xianguangs like this, and there is even an eighth Zhang Xianguang being gestated in the light of the corpse oil lamp.
This means that unless the weird corpse oil lamps are destroyed one by one, or all Zhang Xianguang in front of him is killed at the same time, Zhang Xianguang can not only restart, but can even create seven clones during the restart.
With such a gap, it is impossible for a ghost controller of this era to face a ghost controller of Zhang Xianguang's level alone.
Even during the Republic of China, this kind of ability was enough to be considered top-notch.
"Chengjun, I will give you one last chance and hand over the chains voluntarily. I will not embarrass you. Otherwise, you know the consequences of going against me. I have been planning the Peach Blossom Spring plan for a long time. There is absolutely no possibility of failure. You can't stop it.
mine."
After revealing his methods, Zhang Xianguang, who had a corpse oil lamp on his head, spoke.
He didn't seem to mind that a clone died before, and he even showed partiality towards Gu Chengjun at this moment.
It was precisely because of this that he did not take action as soon as Gu Chengjun showed up.
Otherwise, if seven swords were swung down at the same time, let alone Gu Chengjun, even if Gu Chengjun and Gu Li were both father and son, Zhang Xianguang would not be able to kill him with one blow.
Hearing this, Gu Chengjun sighed, and then smiled slightly, but the smile was a little complicated: "Teacher, what you say is like water, and it is difficult to recover. There is no regret medicine in the world. You taught me this truth."
As he spoke, he took off the chains wrapped around his arms little by little.
Then, he threw the ghost chain to the ground with all his strength.
"well……"
Hearing Gu Chengjun's answer, Zhang Xianguang was not surprised. Instead, he seemed to have guessed Gu Chengjun's persistence, and felt extremely contradictory between pride and unbearable.
What I am proud of is that the students I once taught still remember what I said and implement it to this day.
What I couldn't bear was to have to confront such an outstanding student with swords, or even kill him with my own hands.
That is, at the moment when the ghost chain fell to the ground, some terrible taboo seemed to be triggered.
"Crash--!"
"Crash--!"
For a moment, the gray surroundings seemed to be filled with a darkness as rich as ink, and in this darkness where one couldn't even see his fingers, bursts of clashing sounds of iron cables rang out, followed by countless strange rusty iron chains suddenly falling from the sky.
Stretching out from the darkness, they are intertwined and intertwined, swarming towards the seven beams of light on the winding path like a dragnet.
"I'll send you on your way first."
However, at this moment, facing the overwhelming chains, Zhang Xianguang, who was surrounded in the middle, finally showed a trace of ferocity in his eyes. He stared at Gu Chengjun, and after saying goodbye, he raised the big knife in his hand and faced the former
The student slashed over violently.
…
"boom!"
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The door to the ghost photo studio was forced open.
A figure holding a broadsword walked in slowly, exuding an aura that could make anyone tremble, as if this person had just experienced a life-and-death fight.
"it's over?"
In the hall, a man with strange tattoos asked after seeing Zhang Xianguang.
His words sounded like he was asking, but his tone was full of matter-of-fact meaning.
"it's over."
The big knife in Zhang Xianguang's hand disappeared. He raised his hand and looked at the rusty chain in his hand with some regret.
He looked at the rusty chain, his eyes seemed to be missing someone, and also seemed to be missing the past time: "If you are so willing to remember what I said in the past, why don't you want to listen to me now?
What’s your opinion?”
I didn't stay long in the memories of the past.
"Let's go."
Zhang Xianguang turned around and left first.
However, when he was on the winding road back to the Ghost Post Office, and before leaving, he turned back and took a look at the Ghost Photo Gallery.
"You killed two of my clones with one person. In addition, you also destroyed two of my oil lamps. Chengjun, you are really outstanding. It's a pity that you and I couldn't join forces in the end."
After a moment of emotion, he and his teammates walked towards the winding path until their figures disappeared along the path to the ghost photo studio.
