The voice rumbled like thunder from the Ninth Heaven. It rolled forward like a raging wave, crashing against the tide of ghosts. The ghosts howled miserably, and hundreds of ghosts retreated. Innumerable spiritual essences flew into the air. It was unknown how many vengeful spirits and malicious ghosts were shattered by this voice.
Du Kang looked at the figure that appeared above the bronze gate in shock. The figure wore a high crown and a broad belt. He wore a long robe with wide sleeves and a three-foot Qingfeng Sword at his waist. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking straight ahead.
It was a person, a lonely person. His face was thin, but he was very resolute. His eyes were deep and firm, and his eyebrows were like swords. He stood in front of the bronze gate, facing the countless vengeful spirits and malicious ghosts that were rushing at him. He stood still and motionless.
"This is …" Du Kang was stunned. This person's spirit made Du Kang couldn't help but admire him.
Suddenly, the person looked over. Their eyes collided in mid-air. It was only for a moment, but it felt like an eternity. A calm voice sounded in Du Kang's ears.
"A hundred ghosts wreak havoc in the human world at night. The Iron Buddha subdued the devil for five hundred years. A common scholar imitated the sages and lived in seclusion in the forest. I abandoned my mortal body to forge the right path. I guarded the peace of the common people. Thirty-six years have passed, and I await the future generations to advance."
The voice was right in his ears, but it felt like it was far away. In a trance, Du Kang's divine sense was shaken away. When he looked again, the person was holding a sword in his hand, standing in the wind and walking forward without a trace of hesitation.
"Where the Dao is, even if there are millions of people, I will go forward!"
A faint voice cut through thousands of words. There was no need for heroic words, no more tears of blood or laments. It was just a sentence and a back view that moved forward with indomitable will.
Du Kang woke up with a start. He raised his head and looked around. There were no more vengeful spirits or vengeful ghosts, not to mention the scholar who was moving forward with his sword. There was only a stone statue of Confucius in front of him that was half the height of a man. He had just spat out a mouthful of blood into the eyes of the stone statue, and now the blood dripped down like the stone statue was shedding tears. The bloody tears rolled down his cheeks, and a kind of melancholy that was difficult to be appeased filled his heart. Du Kang wanted nothing more than to let out a long and loud roar.
"Xiao Pang, what's wrong?"
Cang Jin's voice came from behind. Du Kang raised his head and secretly wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. He turned around and smiled, saying that he was fine. He felt much better after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from above. The two of them looked at each other. Du Kang pulled out his Octane Blast and rushed up to the second floor. Cang Jin retreated to the bottom of the stairs and leaped up. He grabbed the window sill of a bedroom on the second floor with both hands and lightly pushed himself up.
"Who are you? Stop!"
Du Kang rushed to the staircase on the second floor and saw a figure stumbling over. When the figure saw him, he actually turned around and ran back. As he ran, he was shouting nonsense. Du Kang couldn't hear what he was shouting.
Du Kang quickly chased after him. The man didn't run very fast, and in just two or three steps, Du Kang had already caught up to him. He raised his hand and placed it on the man's shoulder, and with a forceful tug, the man lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
"Shut up, don't move!"
Du Kang stepped on the man's chest and pressed his Octane Blast on the man's head. He said coldly, and the scream immediately stopped.
Through the moonlight and light shining in through the window, Du Kang could barely see that the person he had grabbed was a young girl. She was dressed like a student. Her hair was disheveled, and there were traces of blood on her face. She looked at him with a pair of big eyes that were filled with panic and fear.
"One point is the sky is clear, two points is the earth is clear. Demons and ghosts, show yourselves!"
His left hand made a sword gesture in front of his eyes. A trace of azure-gold light flashed in Du Kang's eyes. When he looked at the girl he had grabbed, he realized that she was actually a living person.
"Damn it, it's a mistake. It's a living person."
Du Kang cursed his bad luck in his heart. He lifted his leg to let the girl on the ground get up. However, his Octane Blast was still pressed between the girl's eyebrows.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
Do you want to die? "
Du Kang could see the danger of this place from the strange phenomenon of the stone statue on the first floor. Moreover, Xiao Bai had also introduced that this old dormitory building of the nursing school was a famous place of ghosts in Dongguang. Few people dared to come here during the day, let alone in the middle of the night. Seeing a living person at this time was even more suspicious than seeing a ghost.
"You … are you human?"
The girl was obviously shocked by the sudden appearance of Du Kang. She stammered and asked. Seeing Du Kang nod, she immediately jumped up as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She lowered her head and dodged the Octane Blast. She hugged Du Kang's arm and said in a choked voice, "Hurry up and take me away. He's going to catch up. He's going to catch up!"
"Who's going to catch up?"
"He's not human. He's scarier than the devil."
As the girl spoke, she pulled Du Kang and ran downstairs desperately. She looked back from time to time as if a man-eating monster would rush out of the darkness behind them at any time.
As if to confirm what the girl said, there was another burst of messy footsteps. A naked man suddenly broke open the door of a dormitory and rushed out. He looked around and stared at Du Kang.
He let out a roar like an injured beast and rushed over quickly.
"There's still someone here. Isn't this place haunted?"
Du Kang felt inexplicable. Seeing a naked man rushing in front of him, Du Kang did not hold back. He lifted his leg and kicked the man's stomach.
With a loud bang, how could the man withstand Du Kang's kick? He fell to the ground on his back, and the back of his head hit the marble floor with a loud bang. He slid back five or six meters before he stopped. He struggled to stand up with his hands on the wall. He lowered his head, panting heavily, and the muscles all over his body trembled.
Du Kang was not in a hurry to make his move. He stood where he was and grabbed the girl who was like a frightened rabbit. He sized up the man in front of him. He was naked and fat. His shaved head was shiny. His head was round like a big meatball. There were folds of flesh on his neck. There was a large patch of black chest hair on his chest. His body was black. At first glance, he looked like a hairless bear that had turned into a spirit.
"Hey, who are you?"
Du Kang touched the tip of his nose with his finger. Seeing that the man in front of him was not a good person, he shook the Octane Blast in his hand and asked coldly.
"Hehe, hehe …" The black fatty laughed strangely and did not answer. He patted his body twice with his big hands. His fat shook and he pounced on Xiao Bing again.
"Hey, did you not understand what I said?"
Du Kang moved sideways to avoid the fat man and shielded the girl behind him. He pointed at the fat man's nose and scolded, "You'd better answer my questions honestly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Xiao Pang, you don't need to be polite with him!"
Cang Jin's angry voice came from the other end of the corridor. Before Du Kang could see what was going on, the black fatty flew up.
He was hit in the chin by an uppercut from Cang Jin. The fat man, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, flew up like a sandbag and slammed into the ceiling. With a loud bang, he fell down again.
