Chapter 140: Snatching Someone From The Hades
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Cinnabar can protect and ward off evil, while the portrait of a great figure on a hundred-dollar bill carries a powerful aura due to the adoration and support of countless people. It is the most common and easily accessible magical tool in daily life.
If an ordinary person accidentally encounters something dirty or experiences paranormal phenomena while walking at night without any other means of protection, they can use a hundred-dollar bill to ward off evil and resolve the situation.
After sending the message, Lu Miao leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
The sensation of forcibly draining vitality was unpleasant. At this moment, she felt as if her entire body had been emptied, experiencing an unprecedented exhaustion.
She felt a faint pain coming from her waist, where she had been bumped earlier.
Lu Miao couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
From the driver’s seat, Gu Ziheng secretly glanced at Lu Miao through the rearview mirror.
Seeing that her eyes were tightly shut, he didn’t dare to say anything and quietly stabilized the car’s speed.
It wasn’t until the car stopped at Lingyue Manor and Lu Miao got out that Gu Ziheng followed, cautiously speaking up.
“Sister-in-law, please don’t be angry. No matter what Grandma says, in my eyes, you will always be my sister-in-law.”
Looking at the pitiful little puppy in front of her, Lu Miao raised her hand and ruffled his head.
“I understand. The Gu family needs you now. Go back quickly.”
Gu Ziheng nodded, and it was now up to him to hold the Gu family together since his elder brother had disappeared and his second brother was in trouble.
After watching Lu Miao enter the house, he turned and got back in the car.
Lu Miao returned home and was about to go upstairs to freshen up when her expression suddenly changed. She quickly ascended to the rooftop.
In the night sky above her head, thick clouds churned, completely concealing the formation, making it impossible to discern.
News of Gu Shiyan’s accident must have spread, and the other side was trying to take his life completely.
Lu Miao’s wrist flipped, and a ruler-sized peach wood sword appeared in her hand. She pressed her index and middle fingers together, quickly drawing them across the sword.
The originally dull peach wood sword instantly emitted a brilliant light, pointing upwards.
“Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, witness my divine power, gods from all directions, manifest in golden light, break!”
A beam of golden light soared into the sky, directly piercing through the dense clouds.
The dark clouds and mist rolled, enveloping the golden light, attempting to completely devour it.
At the same time, behind the clouds and mist, flickering lights appeared.
The other side had become smarter this time and no longer attempted to repair the flawed formation. Instead, they repeatedly strengthened the originally dim formation.
Due to the shared existence spell, the invisible power of the formation instantly pressed against Lu Miao.
The dazzling golden light gradually weakened, showing signs of being
devoured.
Seeing this, the other side immediately seized the opportunity and the black clouds rushed madly towards Lu Miao along the path of the golden light.
Lu Miao formed hand seals with one hand, clapping them towards the sky to meet the rolling black clouds.
Two invisible forces clashed and surged in mid-air.
The other side launched a fierce attack this time, coupled with Lu Miao’s current weakness. For a while, the outcome was indeterminate.
Gritting her teeth, Lu Miao swung her hand and threw several talismans, setting up a formation around herself. She raised her long sword toward the sky and exerted a forceful stomp on the ground beneath her.
A huge wave of vitality quickly surged into her body from the ground under her feet.
The peach wood sword in his hand instantly shone with a golden light. It was like a gorgeous firework that exploded the surrounding thick clouds and illuminated the entire night sky.
With a rumble, the clouds exploded and turned into rain. The torrential rain fell without any warning.
In a secret room in the capital, a middle-aged man with a clay pot in front of him and candles around him instantly bled from his seven orifices and fell straight to the ground.
“Second brother.”
Boss Lei, who was standing at the side, instantly rushed over with his eyes wide open. He raised his hand and probed under his nose, but he was already not breathing at all.
He did not even have the chance to speak.
The three of them had come here, but he was the only one left!
Once he found the person hiding behind Gu Shiyan, he would turn both Gu Shiyan and that person into his puppets, ensuring they would never have peace even in the afterlife!
A thrilling and life-or-death battle had silently come to an end, and in the eyes of ordinary people, everything that had just happened was nothing more than clouds covering the moon, followed by a sudden downpour.
If Lu Miao were in her prime state, the opponent’s methods would be insufficient to cause her any harm.
However, due to the shared existence spell, she was at her weakest, and after the intense battle, she could no longer hold on and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her body swayed, and she sat down on the ground.
Torrential rain poured down on her, soaking her clothes almost instantly.
After a while, she finally struggled to get up and staggered back to her room, collapsing onto the bed.
On the other side…
Gu Shiyan felt as if he was surrounded by an extremely cold and pitch-black space.
Bone-chilling cold gradually enveloped him, as if he had fallen into an ancient ice cave.
His feet went numb, and he didn’t know how long he had been walking when he faintly saw a tall city gate ahead.
Vague figures entered the gate from all directions.
Gu Shiyan’s footsteps uncontrollably led him towards the gate, getting closer and closer. Just as he was about to step inside…
A warm sensation suddenly emanated from his palm.
Gu Shiyan stood still and looked down at his hand in a daze.
“Gu Shiyan.” A familiar voice sounded in his ear.
Gu Shiyan’s confused eyes moved slightly. “Miao Miao.”
His dormant consciousness gradually awakened, and immediately, an invisible force forcibly pulled him backward. His entire body seemed to be suspended in mid -air and then plummeted, falling into a warm embrace.
Gu Shiyan subconsciously exerted force in his hand, wanting to grab hold of the warm softness in his palm, but his hand suddenly became empty, and he caught nothing.
After an unknown period of time, various noisy sounds faintly reached his ears.
Gu Shiyan abruptly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
“Miao Miao.”
Beside the bed, Gu Xingyu was startled and screamed, falling back to the ground.
On the other side, Shen Qinghe, following the news from Lin Bufan, hastily brought cinnabar and the hundred-dollar bills, arranging them according to Lu Miao’s instructions.
Seeing Gu Shiyan suddenly sit up, Shen Qinghe was momentarily stunned.
She tremblingly touched Gu Shiyan’s cheek and chest with her hand.
Her hand felt warm skin, and a faint heartbeat passed through her palm. Shen Qinghe threw herself at him, hugging him tightly as tears streamed down her face.
Gu Ziheng and Gu Jingxi also rushed over, embracing him with excitement.
The doctors in the clinic were dumbfounded.
They had all seen what happened to Gu Shiyan just now.
There was no breathing, no heartbeat, no pulse, and not even a trace of warmth in his body.
No matter how one looked at it, it was obvious that he had already passed away.
Just follow that master’s instructions and light a cinnabar and put a few hundred yuan bills?
This was too illogical!
The surrounding masters were even more dumbfounded.
With Gu Shiyan’s situation just now, he was snatching her from the hands of the King of Hell!!!
