Chapter 441: Ghost Pupil
Strands of black hair pierced into the cement, hanging from the ceiling.
Holding the black umbrella, Lu Fei touched the ground with the tip of his foot and, with a light leap, was lifted into the air by the black umbrella.
"Boss, be careful!"
Huzi looked up at Lu Fei, who was getting closer and closer to the red circle, his face filled with tension.
Lu Fei's eyes were fixed on the circle, and the pattern inside was becoming clearer and clearer.
What is it?
The runes on the wall began to quiver, and Lu Fei's black hair started to tremble. His eyes widened, and he gripped the thunder-struck jujube wood stick tightly with his other hand.
Huzi gazed at the blood-red circle on the ceiling, feeling an ominous premonition.
Seeing that the boss had already flown beneath the circle, his heart felt like it was stuck in his throat.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a chill around his ankle.
Turning back, he saw a gaunt gambler, who didn't know when, had crawled up beside him, its pale hand clutching his ankle.
"Damn! Trying to ambush me, Huzi? Go to hell!"
Huzi was greatly alarmed, and with a fierce slash of his knife, he directly chopped off the gambler's head.
The gambler instantly turned to ashes.
"Dare to ambush Hu Zi Lord, you don't want to live....." Huzi was cursing when he suddenly froze, looking up.
Dark, malevolent energy pervaded the area, and before he knew it, it was filled with emaciated gamblers.
Their eyes, filled with extreme greed, all fixed on him intently.
Huzi broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
How did they all come out at once?
"Do you think I'm easy to bully! Damn it, I'll fight you!"
Huzi swung his knife towards the gamblers.
Lu Fei had been led by the black umbrella to beneath the circle, which had a diameter of about one meter. The pattern in the center was blurry, and Lu Fei squinted his eyes to examine it carefully.
The runes around trembled, and the circle seemed to be spinning.
Suddenly.
At the center, a blood-red eye appeared.
"Not good!"
Lu Fei felt an ominous sensation, but it was too late for him to act.
As the eye gently opened, its crimson pupil fixed on Lu Fei.
Cold and sinister.
It seemed as if it could pierce through the soul with a single glance.
Lu Fei instantly felt his body turn icy cold, as if he were frozen in place, unable to move.
The thunderstruck wood remained in his hand, and his black hair also stopped moving at that moment, making him appear like a puppet suspended in mid-air.
He wanted to call Hu Zi for help, but his throat couldn't produce any sound.
Moreover, Hu Zi was entangled by the gambler and could not spare any attention.
The Yin energy kept rising, flowing along the series of runes, like an endless blood transfusion providing nourishment to those eyes.
Behind the eyes, there seemed to be sinister and bizarre shadows flickering in and out of sight.
Lu Fei was forced to stare into the bloody pupils, his eyes piercing with pain.
From those crimson pupils, blood lines emerged, reaching towards his eyes.
"Damn it!"
Lu Fei was burning with anxiety.
Desperately circulating his magic power from the dantian, he activated the thunderbolt jujube wood stick in his hand.
The blood lines had already reached right before his eyes.
Boom!
The power of lightning erupted.
Faint electric light flickered on the jujube wood stick.
The blood-colored eye seemed to be dazzled by this light.
Lu Fei felt his body slightly loosen and seized the opportunity, golden scales flashing on his shoulder.
He could move his body now.
While tilting his head back, he swung the thunderstruck wood forcefully at the blood-colored eye.
Boom!
The electric light was blinding.
The blood line rapidly retracted.
The black hair frantically detached from the ceiling, Lu Fei held a black umbrella, swaying as he fell back to the ground, staggering a few steps before steadying himself.
The gamblers around, like sharks drawn to the scent of blood, immediately surrounded him.
"Boss!"
Huzi hurriedly came to support, waving his ghost-head saber like a flaming wheel, clearing out the surrounding circle of gamblers.
Lu Fei quickly followed, taking out his ghost-whipping whip.
Working together, they finally managed to drive back this wave of gamblers.
Breathing heavily for a few moments, Lu Fei cautiously raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.
Those blood eyes were actually closed.
Around them, there were charred marks where lightning had struck.
"It seems I need to hit the pupils!" Lu Fei furrowed his brow, feeling very troubled.
The blood-red eyes opened, and once caught by those eerie, scarlet pupils, one couldn't move, let alone attack.
Who would have thought that such a formidable ghost would be lurking beneath this casino!
From the looks of it, it must have been kept here for many years. Just one eye is so powerful; if it were fully grown, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The more Lu Fei thought about it, the more his heart raced in fear.
Just who exactly is Xuan Yinzi?
"Boss, what should we do?" Hu Zi's clothes were completely drenched in sweat, and he was almost completely drained of strength.
This was all thanks to his superior physical condition. If it had been any ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have survived the second wave of attacks from the gambling ghosts.
Lu Fei gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment.
"Hu Zi, it's up to you this time!"
"Me?"
Hu Zi was startled.
Lu Fei stuffed the black umbrella into his hand.
"Take him up!" Lu Fei patted the umbrella canopy.
The black umbrella trembled, and fine strands of hair floated out, with the edges stained red by blood, carefully flying towards the ceiling.
"Once we get out, I won't let those two bastards off!"
Lu Fei gritted his teeth, his face turning grim.
"Boss, can I do it?" Hu Zi shivered, his legs trembling.
"Hu Zi, a man must never say he can't!" Lu Fei encouraged him sternly.
Hu Zi had a grimace on his face, but he did not let go of the black umbrella, his feet leaving the ground and gradually moving closer to the ceiling.
The red circle was rotating.
The blood-red eyes trembled slightly, as if they could open at any moment.
Huzi was quaking with fear, gritting his teeth. Seeing that the blood eyes remained motionless, he raised his ghosthead saber and thrust it towards the eyes.
"Death is a given, but life lasts for ten thousand years! Boss, I'm no coward!"
The blood eyes suddenly opened.
The crimson pupils immediately locked onto Huzi.
The ghosthead saber hung from the ceiling, and Huzi's body stiffened. He seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly.
Crimson bloodlines extended from the pupils, reaching towards Huzi's eyes.
It's out!
At this moment, Lu Fei leaped up and swung a stick forcefully at the crimson pupil.
Electric sparks flew.
Like a dazzling bolt of lightning.
The blood line suddenly recoiled, swiftly retreating backwards.
"Yellow Springs Umbrella, hurry!"
As Lu Fei shouted, several thin strands of hair, like brave soldiers rushing to their death, still flew out, wrapping around the retracting blood line, preventing the eerie eye from closing.
Instantly, blood flowed down along the hair, staining it red.
The black hair trembled violently.
Red petals fell from the umbrella's pages, withering and turning black quickly.
Boom!
In that instant, the lightning shot in like a bright, sharp sword, piercing into the crimson pupil.
Blood splattered, and the pupil instantly shattered.
The black hair snapped.
Huzi, holding the Yellow Spring Umbrella, suddenly fell to the ground.
"It's still not enough!"
Lu Fei, staring intently at the cracked blood eye, channeled his magic power and hastily struck it with all his might.
Boom!
The blood eye exploded with a thunderous roar, and eyeballs rained down like a shower, quickly rotting and turning into a pool of black water.
Lu Fei used his whip to fend off those eyeballs and looked up again.
All around, the runes on the walls were oozing streams of blood.
A large hole had split open in the ceiling, from which black smoke billowed out.
Outside, there seemed to be figures moving about.
