Bleach Volume 2: The Entry Chapter 7: The Entry (Part 2)
Who would have thought that Mao Jiang did not pounce again, but instead glared fiercely at the three of them, suddenly let out a long howl towards the moon, and with a swift movement, he plunged into the vast night sky with a nose-piercing bloody smell.
Obviously, Mao Zedong had no confidence in winning after suffering heavy losses, so he fled hastily!
Right after that, something even more astonishing happened: the corpse of Mao Jing's body didn't fall to the ground, instead it drew a blood-red trajectory in mid-air and flew into the thick night sky!
"Fly, fly stiff!?" Ouyang Xuan fainted and bitterly smiled: "Isn't this not Mao Jiang, we are dealing with Fei Jiang?!"
"No, it should be a hairy corpse!" Lin Danfeng quickly reacted and exclaimed: "If it were a flying corpse, we would not be its opponent at all. That's god-like strength, and we would have been done for long ago! However, looking at the strength of this hairy corpse and its ability to fly, it seems that this hairy corpse is evolving into a flying corpse and has already possessed some of the abilities of a flying corpse. No wonder it came out again tonight in such a hurry after sucking blood yesterday, it's because it urgently needs energy to evolve!"
"Yes!" Lin Danhong added: "I heard Father say that the real flying corpse has a completely red body, and its eyes are upwards!"
"It's okay, it's okay! However, if this guy hadn't acquired some of Fei Jiao's abilities, my flames wouldn't have been extinguished so easily!" Ouyang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, as if he had gained some insight: Indeed, only divine-like abilities could extinguish Zhu Rong's 'Samadhi True Fire'!
"It's not good!" Lin Danfeng sighed anxiously: "Although the hairy corpse suffered a severe blow from us tonight, its vitality has not been damaged. It is in the critical stage of evolving into a flying corpse and will definitely come out to commit crimes again soon! If we let this hairy corpse evolve successfully, it would be a disaster for humanity!"
"Lin, I have a question!" Ouyang Xuan said with a bitter smile, gritting his teeth: "Isn't that flying corpse also called a Gui? You said before that the female Gui goddess in mythology could assist Huangdi in battle, which means it still has a righteous side. Now that this hairy corpse has evolved into a flying corpse, will it be like the female Gui goddess and no longer harass us mortals?"
"That's not the same!" Lin Danfeng shook his head and said: "The female Baigui was originally the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, and after being cursed by the evil god, she directly became a Baigui, but her wisdom was not lost, so her divine consciousness can still be kept clear. Moreover, with the help of the Yellow Emperor's super powerful magic, the evil energy of the female Baigui cannot dominate. And ordinary zombies are relying on absorbing human blood to evolve, after becoming a Baigui they will only become more ferocious, and won't suddenly become benevolent!"
"Which means we have to take it down before it fully evolves, otherwise things will get out of hand!"
"It's probably like this!" Lin Danfeng and Lin Danhong, brother and sister, looked at each other and sighed in unison!
"I'm dizzy!" Ouyang Xuan was speechless to the sky: "No way, I just came on stage and met such a powerful opponent, is there any justice in heaven?! Brother Lin, Dan Hong sister, this Mao Jiang is too formidable, it's not something we three can handle, let's find a few more helpers!"
Lindan Feng said helplessly: "Zombie is immune to any physical attack, only talismans and some special abilities can work. But in our Dragon Group, the five brothers of the Pang family are good at physical attacks; 'Lightning', 'Wind Blade', 'Winged Man', 'Golden Tiger', 'Water Star', 'Wood Child' and 'Earth Dragon' are all skilled in physical attacks. On the other hand, 'Soul Occupier' only knows divination, and 'Ghost Eye' only knows exorcism, they are not good at dealing with zombies at all. If we let them come, not only can't they handle the zombie, but they may also lose their lives!"
"What can we do? It's up to us three!" Ou Yang Xuan was somewhat surprised.
"It's probably just the three of us now! However, 'Winged Man' might be able to help a bit! He has wings and can fly in the air, maybe he can stop Mao Jiang's escape!" Lin Danfeng said with some lack of confidence.
"But with just the three of us, it's hard to kill Miao Jie, isn't tonight a good example!? Moreover, since Miao Jie suffered a loss tonight, its future actions will definitely be unpredictable, and we'll also have a hard time finding its trail again. What are we going to do!?" Ou Yang Xuan was at a loss.
"Haha, it's really miserable!" Lin Danfeng sighed: "Drought demons have only appeared six or seven times in Chinese history, with an average of several hundred years between each appearance. However, every time they appear, it takes the combined efforts of many powerful experts to eradicate them! The most recent one was over a hundred years ago in Xi Zhou. At that time, our Mao Shan Zhu You Zong was at its peak, and all seven of its top masters joined forces, with four dying and two being crippled, just to resolve it! However, since then, the strength of our Mao Shan Zhu You Zong has declined dramatically. Now, apart from us two, only my father is still alive!"
"It seems that this flying corpse is really formidable! Oh, right, since Uncle is still alive, let him come out and our strength will increase greatly, maybe we can even solve the problem of Mao Gui!" Ouyang Xuan suddenly suggested.
"Alas!" Lin Danhong suddenly sighed and said, "My old man, three years ago in the Northeast, he had a big battle with a demon class, although he won, but also got a bit half-paralyzed! He can still move his mouth, but if something really happens, he'll probably just add trouble for us!"
Ouyang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat and bitterly said: "The Maoshan sect isn't just the one branch of Zhu Yuzong, can't you find someone else!?"
"Alas!" Lin Danfeng sighed helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "As far as I know, Zhu Youzong is now the only surviving branch of the Mao Shan Sect. The other branches have all been lost! You don't even think about it, nowadays people are busy making money, even those who believe in the teachings are few, let alone someone willing to put in hard work to learn Mao Shan magic!"
Ouyang Xuan was speechless, and bitterly smiled: "So that's how it is. Your Maoshan Sect has declined even more miserably than martial arts! However, in the famous mountains and great rivers of China, aren't there some eccentric masters who know magic? Hurry up and send someone to find them to come and assist!"
"Ouyang, those people are like dragons that appear and disappear without a trace, how can we find them!? Maybe in one or two years, we won't be able to find even one, and even if we do, who knows if they'll be willing to help. And this Miao Jie might evolve into a Fei Jie within one or two months, you can't use distant water to solve the thirst of the present!" Lin Danfeng patted his hand, with a face full of helplessness.
"Damn it, since there's no one to help and we don't need to save anyone else either, it's too dangerous. I refuse to believe that three of us can't take down this despicable zombie!" Ouyang Xuan was forced into a corner and said viciously.
"Go for it!" Lin Danfeng nodded: "But if we can't, after Mao Jiang evolves into Fei Jiang and causes a big mess, who knows, maybe some hermit will come out of the mountains!"
Ouyang Xuan was speechless and discontentedly said, "Don't be so pessimistic, okay? Today we still managed to escape with our lives, didn't we?"
"Hehe, exactly! Until the end, it's still uncertain who will be the one to take down the deer!" Lin Danfeng also laughed.
"Never mind, Brother Ouyang has lost a lot of blood, let's hurry back to the base for treatment, corpse poison is very toxic!" Lin Dan reminded with a red face.
"Right, right, right, I don't want to become a zombie!" Ou Yang Xuan only then remembered that he was injured and his face changed greatly.
"Hehe, don't worry, our Dragon Team can cure the corpse poison! And even if you're poisoned, it's not a big deal, you won't become a zombie, that's just a folk legend!" Lin Danfeng comforted.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ouyang Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exclaimed in relief: "I'd rather die than become that terrifying creature!"
"Let's go, we'll support you!" Lin Danfeng and Lin Danhong helped Ouyang up, and from the rooftop they jumped down.
Downstairs, Ouyang Xuan and the others came down. In the darkness, Director Liu rushed over with a terrified face, trembling and asking: "Th-th-three comrades, h-h-how is it?"
Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan and the other two heard a commotion nearby, as if someone was quarreling. They wondered: "The zombies have been severely injured by us and escaped! What's going on with all the noise?"
"It's not just the rooftop, it's a ghost shouting and waking up many ordinary people, they all want to come and see something strange, Comrades are desperately blocking them!" Director Liu was sweating profusely.
Ouyang Xuan and three others were speechless: "Look, zombies! These ordinary people are really fearless because of their ignorance!"
"This, Director Liu, tonight's matter is a state secret, and we must issue a gag order to all police officers. Otherwise, we have the right to arrest you! Do you understand?" Lin Danfeng said somewhat threateningly.
"Understood, understood!" Director Liu hastily nodded his head, but hesitated and said: "However, many people have heard these bursts of ghostly wails, how can we explain this to the common folk?"
"Just say there are a few lions running out of the zoo, can't you just catch them?" Ouyang Xuan said impatiently.
Wow! This is also okay?! The crowd goes wild!
"Alright, alright!" Director Liu's face was wooden as he nodded, his heart racing with anxiety.
"Hurry up, hurry up! My blood is almost drained!" Ouyang Xuan cried out in distress.
"Alright, alright!" Lin Danfeng and Lin Danhong hastily helped Ouyang Xuan into the car and then drove back to the Longzu base deep in Miyun.
