Chapter 5
Jisheng Cult
After seeing this, Xu Bai felt his hair stand on end, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
The fact that the corpse could move was already beyond his understanding.
The original host was not a big shot to begin with, so he did not have any memories of this.
But he knew one thing, and that was to strike first.
The Ghost Head Saber slashed horizontally. Genuine Qi surged and slashed diagonally along the hand.
The hand on the edge of the wooden box was cut off by the Ghost Head Saber and fell to the ground. There was no blood flowing out from the wound. Instead, what flowed out was disgusting corpse oil.
“Bang!”
A steady thud came from the wooden box. Then the lid burst open and the dead woman in red stood up.
The ropes that bound her hands and feet had already broken. One of her hands had been cut off by Xu Bai, and corpse oil was flowing out.
The most bizarre thing was her eyes. Her pupils had already disappeared, leaving behind a pale color.
“Ah!”
When a few bodyguards saw this situation, they were so frightened that they peed their pants and could not even hold their sabers steadily.
Xu Bai raised his head and looked at the sunlight in the sky.
In this broad daylight, it turned out that haunting was possible?
This world did not seem to be as simple as he thought. The scene in front of him could not be explained by common sense.
Of course, now was not the time to think about this.
After the female corpse in red appeared, she only paused for a moment before pouncing toward Xu Bai.
When she got closer, Xu Bai could smell the stench of her corpse.
Due to the sunlight, for some reason, a large area of livor mortis had become visible on the body of the female corpse in red. It looked disgusting and a little horrifying.
“Father… Father…”
A hoarse voice came from the female corpse in red. It was emotionless and filled with coldness and gloom.
“I’m still single, so I won’t take in a daughter.” Xu Bai brandished his Ghost Head Saber and slashed at the female corpse in red.
The Ghost Head Saber was sharp, and together with the Bone Breaking Saber Technique, it pierced through the top of the female corpse’s head.
However, the blade was only halfway through when it was stuck at the neck.
The corpse of the woman in red was filled with thick corpse oil, preventing Ghost Head Blade from escaping.
Even though she was cut by the Ghost Head Saber, the red-robed female corpse did not seem to feel any pain and continued to pounce on Xu Bai.
The nails on her remaining right hand expanded, emitting a ferocious aura.
A strong gust of wind swept past and she grabbed at Xu Bai’s face.
“You dare to hurt my face?” Xu Bai was furious.
Although Ghost Head Saber was stuck, he took advantage of the situation and fell. At the same time, he used his right foot to support the waist of the female corpse in red.
“Hey!”
He swung the Ghost Head Saber with all his might, and the red-robed female corpse was flung away by the kick of his feet.
“Run!”
The red-robed female corpse was thrown towards where the bodyguards were standing. When the bodyguards saw such a monster thrown at them, they hurriedly shouted and dispersed.
“Bang!”
With a dull thud, the red-robed female corpse fell to the ground.
Xu Bai leaned on his Ghost Head Saber and stood up from the ground.
“Crack! Crack!”
The sound of bones breaking could be heard. The red-robed female corpse’s joints turned upside down. She propped herself up on the ground and made an arching posture.
Her head was hanging upside down. Due to the fact that Xu Bai had split her in half, the corpse oil inside her was dripping out.
This posture was so special.
“Father… Father…”
An emotionless voice was heard again. The red-robed female corpse crawled toward Xu Bai in this strange posture.
“Don’t slander me!”
Xu Bai held the Ghost Head Saber in his hand. When the woman in red approached him, he suddenly lowered his body and swung his long saber against the ground.
“Swoosh!”
With a swing of the long saber, the red-robed female corpse’s other hand broke. She fell to the ground and rolled a few times.
If he couldn’t cut off her head, he could cut off her hand.
Xu Bai thought about it. He had cut off a hand before, and he could do it again now.
Even though the female corpse in red had lost her hands, she still tried her best to stand up.
However, Xu Bai did not intend to let go of this opportunity. He raised his Ghost Head Saber and slashed twice.
The legs of the female corpse in red were cut off by the Ghost Head Saber, leaving only her body squirming on the ground.
Her wriggling movement was very slow, and most of the threat was gone.
Xu Bai did not let his guard down just like that. He swung his Ghost Head Saber again and severed the red-robed female corpse’s head from her neck.
At this moment, the red-robed female corpse struggled a few times and finally stopped moving.
The bodyguards surrounded him, their faces filled with disbelief.
This scene had already exceeded their understanding.
“Does anyone know what this is?” Xu Bai asked.
The bodyguards shook their heads in unison, indicating that they did not know.
One of the bodyguards mustered his courage and said, “When it called out ‘Father’, could it be just a unique call?. I mean, maybe it was saying die, die,
die
.”
Xu Bai: “…”
Was this important?
Most importantly, the bodyguards had never seen these things before. They were all unranked martial artists. To put it bluntly, they only had a few tricks up their sleeves to make a living in the Bodyguard Agency.
Not to mention a moving female corpse, they had never even seen a slightly bigger scene.
It was already good enough that they didn’t cry.
The bodyguards didn’t know the reason, so Xu Bai didn’t ask further.
He looked at the silver in the wooden box and said, “Let’s split it.”
As soon as he said this, the entire place fell silent.
A few bodyguards stared at the money in the wooden box with shiny gazes.
With such a large box of silver, even if it was divided equally, it could last them a long time.
But now that Xu Bai was still here, no one dared to move.
“Life isn’t easy. I don’t care. Let’s get moving.” Xu Bai waved his hand nonchalantly.
The bodyguards looked at each other. A few bold bodyguards stepped forward and carefully took a few silver ingots.
With someone taking the lead, the other bodyguards also stepped forward.
Everyone took out a few silver ingots. In the end, there were still more than ten silver ingots left.
Xu Bai took the remaining silver and turned to look at the bodyguards around him.
When Xu Bai’s gaze swept over them, the bodyguards all shuddered.
“Everyone, you can’t live without money in this world. This bit of money is enough for everyone to live in luxury for a period of time,” Xu Bai said with a smile.
The bodyguards did not understand what he meant.
“Our Bodyguard Agency has failed this time. The head of the Bodyguard Agency is dead, and all the money has been stolen by the Raging Tiger Bandits. When we return, the county office will definitely question us,” Xu Bai continued.
Failed?
They had indeed failed.
But didn’t they split the money equally?
A few bodyguards couldn’t think straight and hadn’t reacted yet.
The smart ones had already understood.
“Yes, yes, yes. All the money has been robbed. We risked our lives and managed to escape.” One of the bodyguards raised his hand and continued what Xu Bai said.
There was a saying that money moved people’s hearts. After the bodyguard’s reminder, the others understood what he meant.
“We have to go back to Sheng County. We also have to report this matter to the officials. As for the fact that this place has been wiped out, we don’t know anything either.” Xu Bai held the hilt of the saber and smiled.
After that short while, he understood many things.
Since he had already transmigrated, he should live a good life.
It was impossible for him to wander the world without a place to stay.
Therefore, he still had to return to the county and settle down first.
If he went back alone, it would definitely arouse suspicion. However, with so many people going back together, the suspicion would be reduced to the minimum.
Coupled with this collusion, it was even safer.
If they took the money, they would be in the same boat. The bodyguards would definitely not want anything to happen.
After reaching an agreement, Xu Bai began to search the other houses.
Unfortunately, he did not find anything else.
Under Xu Bai’s lead, they set fire to the Raging Tiger Bandits’ stronghold and burned it to the ground. They changed into the clothes of the bodyguard agency before leaving the Raging Tiger Bandits.
