The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 68 The Fortified Pass, Guan Yu, and the Stone Platform

Wang Min and Jiang Hao have disappeared!

The courtyard and house that we came from are gone. All that remains is a large lotus pond shrouded in mist. Eight wooden paths, each adorned with blood-red lanterns, lead across the pond to its depths. There is no other way to go.

Zhou Fengchen looked at the lotus pond, then at the wall behind him, and then at the hazy night sky. All around was deathly silent, as if he were all alone, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

"Wang Min, Jiang Hao..."

He shouted a few times, the echoes dispersing much of the fog, but no one responded.

He took a deep breath and opened his third eye to look at the lotus pond and the wooden village road in front of him. The village road became much more illusory, with layers upon layers, but it quickly returned to its original state.

Zhou Fengchen didn't understand what was going on either, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He tried to calm himself down and think about where Wang Min and the other person had gone.

They must have seen the lotus pond and the village road, but it's unclear whether they panicked and abandoned us to run away first, or whether they were captured by some ghostly force.

It seems that for now we can only choose any path and see where it leads.

Thinking of this, he entered the third village path. As soon as he stepped onto it, the wooden planks under his feet made a creaking and thumping sound that carried far in the quiet night. He tried to see what his surroundings looked like, but the fog obscured everything, and he couldn't see anything clearly. This feeling was very uncomfortable.

The village path wasn't straight either; it was winding and twisting, and the lanterns overhead swayed, emitting a faint red glow. The further you went, the more eerie it felt.

After walking for twenty minutes, with no sign of the end, Zhou Fengchen grew anxious and was about to run forward when suddenly a person appeared from the fog ahead.

Zhou Fengchen was startled at first glance. The man wore a green cloth over his head, had a long beard, wore armor, carried a long sword, and had a bright red face. His phoenix eyes glared as he coldly proclaimed, "Who goes there?!"

Holy crap! Guan Yu, Lord Guan the Second?

Zhou Fengchen cursed under his breath, rubbed his eyes, and looked again. Yes! It was Guan Yu!

"Who goes there? State your name!"

Guan Yu, tall and imposing, asked again in a cold tone.

Zhou Fengchen swallowed hard and said, "Would you believe me if I said I was Liu Bei?"

"Big brother?" Guan Yu was startled, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand clattered to the ground.

"hehe……"

Zhou Fengchen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Is he some kind of idiot?" He gritted his teeth and said in a serious tone, "Oh! Second brother!"

"Brother!" Guan Yu rushed over, tears streaming down his face, and sang: "How I miss you so much~ Ah~ That day I rode my horse and whipped it on~"

Zhou Fengchen's lips twitched. He started acting out a play without warning. How was he supposed to respond?

Guan Yu sang for a while, then grabbed Zhou Fengchen's arm with both hands, "Big brother! I—"

At this point, his eyes darted around in a strange way, fixing on Zhou Fengchen's heart.

Zhou Fengchen had been waiting for this moment, and he cursed, "Fuck your mother!" He then kicked Zhou Fengchen in the groin.

Guan Yu screamed and squatted down. Zhou Fengchen took the opportunity to make a hand seal and stab him on the head: "Xuanqi, Tongming Finger".

puff!

Guan Yu's head was like a rotten watermelon, with red and white splattered all over the ground. He fell to the ground, twitched twice, and transformed into a middle-aged man covered in hair.

Zhou Fengchen didn't bother to look again and ran forward, thinking to himself, "Damn it, I just killed a Guan Yu. Will anyone believe me if I tell them?"

After running for another five minutes, the village path came to an end. In front of us was a square stone platform. Behind the platform was pitch black, like an abyss, and we couldn't see anything at all.

When Zhou Fengchen reached the stone platform, he looked around but neither Wang Min nor Jiang Hao were there. He was extremely anxious and shouted twice, but no one answered.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a person stumbled out from one of the village paths, wailing, "Brother, it's me!"

Zhou Fengchen looked closely and saw that it was Jiang Hao. He was in a terrible state, his body was tattered and torn, and there were bloodstains on his neck and face.

He quickly went to greet him and asked, "Jiang Hao, where did you come from?"

Jiang Hao was terrified and could barely speak. "You pushed my sister-in-law and me out of the wall, and then an old lady hit us with a broom. It hurt so much, I was in a hurry to escape her, so I ran to the wooden bridge, thinking I'd wait for you at the end. But then I encountered two women fighting on the way, and then they both came and attacked me. Those two crazy lunatics called me a heartless man. I don't even know them! If you hadn't shouted those two times just now, they would have beaten me to death by now..."

Zhou Fengchen had no idea what he was talking about. She looked up behind him and, seeing that no one was chasing after them, asked anxiously, "Where's Wang Min? You mean... sister-in-law?"

Jiang Hao, panting heavily, thought for a moment and said, "I'm not quite sure either. When that old lady hit me, she seemed to have run to the fourth wooden bridge on the left."

"Don't just say it's like that, which one is it?" Zhou Fengchen said angrily.

Jiang Hao nodded in confirmation: "It's the fourth one!"

Zhou Fengchen pointed to the village path and counted. The fourth path on the left opposite should now be the fourth path on the right. He then pulled Jiang Hao and ran inside.

The village road was still shrouded in mist, with red lanterns casting a faint glow. The two ran for a while, and then three people appeared around a bend ahead. Zhou Fengchen glanced at them and immediately flew into a rage.

Of the three men, two were hairy-faced and the other was Wang Min. Wang Min was unconscious and leaning against the railing, while the two hairy-faced men were furtively preparing to strip her clothes off.

Zhou Fengchen dared not imagine what would happen if he arrived a little later. He lightly stepped forward and used his lightness skill to dart over. When he arrived, without saying a word, he kicked one man away and punched another man's head until it was smashed.

The man who had been thrown out staggered to his feet, baring his teeth and revealing his ferocious nature, looking like a demon, and opened his mouth to bite.

"Xuan San, Lock Yin Claw!" Zhou Fengchen flashed to the monster's side, grabbed and crushed its neck, then kicked the two "corpses" cleanly into the lotus pond with a double kick.

Jiang Hao, who had followed, was stunned and babbled incoherently, "Brother! You can fly? Your kung fu is even better than Bruce Lee's!"

Zhou Fengchen ignored him, helped Wang Min up, and slapped him on the forehead, "Wake up!"

Wang Min groggily opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Fengchen in front of him, then at his own open collar, his expression changed, and he slapped Zhou Fengchen, "You pervert, what are you doing!?"

Zhou Fengchen grabbed her hand and said irritably, "Hey, lady! Don't you know where we are? Who has time to be a pervert with you? Hurry up and button your clothes up!"

Jiang Hao then realized that Wang Min wasn't Zhou Fengchen's woman, and said in a trembling voice, "Beautiful lady, it seems we've encountered a ghost! Let's get up and run!"

Wang Min sighed, buttoned up his collar, and asked in a low voice, "Where is this? How do we get out?"

Zhou Fengchen looked around and said, "I don't know where this is either. There was a stone platform over there that I didn't see clearly. Let's go take a look."

As they spoke, the three ran towards the end and soon reached the stone platform. Zhou Fengchen stood on the side and peered down, only to be met with a pungent, fishy smell. It was pitch black and he couldn't see what was inside. Just as he was about to use his Heavenly Eye to take another look, Wang Min and Jiang Hao, unable to resist their curiosity, also came over and peered down.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the darkness. Zhou Fengchen's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Run!"

That's too late!

Suddenly, a white, sticky thing emerged from the darkness, wrapped around the three of them, and pulled them downwards.
