Immortal God of War

Chapter 663 - 635: Going Mad and Crazy_1

「Within the Ghost Gate!」

An intense blood mist shrouded everything around them. A group of people walked cautiously through the mist, their countenances overtaken by profound solemnity. These people were none other than Qin Feiyang and his companions. Because the blood mist was so dense, visibility was limited to a mere five meters, so they advanced at a slow pace. However, the journey had been surprisingly quiet, without a single incident.

Dong Zhengyang furrowed his brows. "Qin Feiyang, do you think we’re overthinking this?"

"Is that so?" Qin Feiyang mumbled. But why is the unease in my heart growing stronger?

Suddenly, Lu Xingchen said, "This place isn’t simple. Don’t take it lightly."

"What do you mean?" Dong Zhengyang cast him a shocked and puzzled look.

Lu Xingchen added, "I can’t precisely describe it, but I feel uneasy."

"Hmm?" Qin Feiyang stared quizzically at Lu Xingchen. Even he’s feeling uneasy? It can’t be just an illusion.

"You feel it too?" Seeing Qin Feiyang’s expression, Lu Xingchen furrowed his brows.

"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded.

Immediately, their hearts sank, and they became even more cautious.

However, as they continued their journey, their surroundings remained tranquil, like a serene sea. This was puzzling to them. Why have such feelings come about?

Unconsciously, less than an hour had passed.

Qin Feiyang chuckled bitterly. "Maybe it’s a coincidence we simultaneously had an illusion."

"Indeed!" Lu Xingchen also forced a bitter smile.

But suddenly, Qin Feiyang noticed a layer of blood mist in Lu Xingchen’s eyes.

WHOOSH!

He quickly turned to look at Dong Zhengyang and the others, only to find a faint blood mist filling their eyes too.

What’s going on? Qin Feiyang halted, his face filled with shock and confusion.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Qin Feiyang suddenly stop, Lu Xingchen and the others looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Qin Feiyang prompted, "Quick, look! Is there blood mist in my eyes?"

"What?" The others were startled and then looked into Qin Feiyang’s eyes.

To their surprise, Qin Feiyang’s eyes were also filled with blood mist. The Wolf King’s eyes were the same.

What is happening? They wondered, their faces full of confusion as they looked at each other.

"This is so strange," Qin Feiyang mumbled. He then turned and walked towards Wu Yan and the others, wondering whether everyone was experiencing the same symptom.

However, when he reached Wu Yan and Xui Yang and saw their eyes, he was shocked out of his wits. Not only were their eyes filled with blood mist, but their eyeballs had even turned red! He quickly checked the others’ eyes and found a similar condition to Wu Yan’s.

Very soon, everyone else noticed this anomaly, and panic set in.

"Keep calm!" Lu Xingchen coldly yelled, turning to Qin Feiyang. "We need to speed up."

Qin Feiyang nodded, yelling, "Full speed ahead! Don’t leave the group!"

The crowd nodded.

"Move!" With a wave of his hand, Qin Feiyang led the group forward at a fast pace. The sky was filled with blood mist; they didn’t know where the exit was and could only move forward.

「About fifty seconds later.」

Suddenly, a painful wail, "AHH..." echoed from behind them.

Qin Feiyang immediately stopped and turned around to see Xiang Shaolong lying on the ground, clutching his head and screaming in agony.

"What happened?" Qin Feiyang rushed to Xiang Shaolong’s side and asked Wu Yan.

"I was ahead of him; I don’t know what happened," Wu Yan shrugged.

"I was behind Xiang Shaolong. I know." A short young man stepped forward.

Qin Feiyang urged, "Speak."

The young man explained, "I saw him running and then suddenly collapse. But I’m not sure about the exact circumstances."

Strange, Qin Feiyang frowned.

"Let me check." Lu Xingchen shooed Qin Feiyang away and approached Xiang Shaolong. He asked with a creased brow, "Xiang Shaolong, are you alright?"

However, Xiang Shaolong seemingly didn’t hear him. He stopped screaming, stopped struggling, and lay motionless on the ground.

Lu Xingchen concluded with a relieved smile, "Seems like he’ll be okay."

PHEW! The others let out a long sigh of relief. It had been a false alarm after all.

But Qin Feiyang remained vigilant, fixing his gaze on Xiang Shaolong. I have a feeling this isn’t over. If Xiang Shaolong were really fine, he would have answered Lu Xingchen. But he’s not replying and just lying there. Something’s not right.

Seeing Xiang Shaolong remain still, Lu Xingchen chuckled lightly. "What are you doing, lying there? If you’re okay, get up already."

But Xiang Shaolong was still silent.

What’s happening? The crowd was once again filled with confusion.

Lu Xingchen furrowed his brows, extending his hand to grasp Xiang Shaolong’s arm, intending to pull him up.

"HEHE..." But just then, a sinister laugh abruptly sounded. The one laughing menacingly was Xiang Shaolong himself!

Following immediately, Xiang Shaolong suddenly raised his head and lunged at Lu Xingchen! And in the instant he lifted his head, Qin Feiyang and the others looked completely horrified.

Because the Xiang Shaolong now was totally different from the Xiang Shaolong they knew! His face was now full of striking blood vessels, and his eyes were a complete bloody spectacle! Most importantly, his eyes exuded cruelty, indifference, ruthlessness, and a bloodthirsty glint!

Lu Xingchen was startled by this sudden development and instinctively threw a palm strike.

BOOM!

Xiang Shaolong was sent flying, blood spurting wildly!

"HEHE..." But as if immune to pain, he got up from the ground instantly, a creepy grin on his extremely hideous face, and threw himself at the nearest woman.

What on earth is happening? Everyone was startled. The woman, seeing Xiang Shaolong lunging towards her, went pale and retreated hastily.

Dong Zhengyang frowned. "He seems to have gone mad."

Qin Feiyang said, "No, he hasn’t gone mad. He has lost his sanity."

"Wake up!" Lu Xingchen roared, rushing forward to grab Xiang Shaolong’s neck, and then slapped him across the face.

PUFF! Xiang Shaolong immediately vomited blood, all his teeth shattering.

Despite this, there was no sign of him regaining his senses. He grimaced and guffawed, acting as if possessed.

How did it come to this? Qin Feiyang frowned.

Logically speaking, Lu Xingchen’s slap should have brought Xiang Shaolong back to his senses. So why hasn’t it had any effect?

Suddenly, he looked at the blood mist in the void, his face filled with bewilderment. Could it be this blood mist causing trouble?

Dong Zhengyang called out, "Lu Xingchen, don’t waste any more time! Let’s get moving!" This place is eerie; I don’t want to stick around for another moment, he thought.

"What about him?" Lu Xingchen frowned. (The ’him’ referred to Xiang Shaolong, of course.)

Dong Zhengyang said, "Do as you wish, just don’t hold everyone up."

"AH..."

However, before he finished speaking, another shriek of agony echoed. Everyone hastily looked over, only to see that the one screaming was the woman Xiang Shaolong had previously attacked. Just like Xiang Shaolong before her, she was down on one knee, tightly holding her head, her face contorted in extreme pain.

Moreover, terrifying bloody lines were quickly crawling across her face. Seeing all this, everyone present was stunned and horrified!

Qin Feiyang also scrutinized the woman, but suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he looked up at the woman’s head.

Suddenly, his expression grew serious. He looked at the heads of the others and asserted firmly, "There can be no doubt!"

"What?" Everyone looked at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang said, "Their transformation is related to this blood mist."

"Blood mist?" Everyone was astonished.

Qin Feiyang continued, "This blood mist can seep into our Sea of Consciousness, eroding our sanity and making us lose ourselves in madness. Look at her head; a faint trace of blood mist is seeping into the top of her head. It’s not just her; our sanity is also being devoured by the blood mist."

Everyone immediately looked at the woman. Indeed, traces of blood mist were seeping into the top of her head. They were not very obvious, which was why it hadn’t been noticed before.

Shen Long asked, "Won’t we end up like them then?"

"Definitely," Qin Feiyang responded. "It’s just because both her and Xiang Shaolong have the lowest cultivation levels, so they lost their sanity before us."

As soon as these words were out, confusion reigned, with everyone feeling threatened.

"Senior Brother Qin, you must help us!"

"I don’t want to die!"

"I’ll kneel before you! I’ll kowtow to you..."

Suddenly, Wu Yan and Xui Yang ran up to Qin Feiyang, kneeling directly and pleading.

"Senior Brother Qin, we’ll kneel too! We’ll kowtow too! Please show us mercy and save us!"

Seeing this, everyone else, except for Dong Zhengyang and a few others, also knelt, their faces filled with desperation.

If the exit had been in sight, they certainly wouldn’t have turned to Qin Feiyang. But now, not even a shadow of the exit is visible. Who knows how long they will have to stay here? And this blood mist is still incessantly seeping into their heads; they could go down the same path as Xiang Shaolong and the woman at any moment. Qin Feiyang is their only hope for survival now.

"HEHE..." It happened in a flash!

The woman finally stopped screaming and began to cackle. With her hair disheveled and eyes bloodshot, she lunged towards the crowd, looking like a demon straight out of hell.

At the same time, two more people lost their sanity. They struggled painfully for a bit and then lunged towards the people around them, like starving wolves!

"Dammit!" Dong Zhengyang cursed and instantly took action, ending the lives of those three.

Then, he turned his head towards Qin Feiyang, his voice grave. "Although I don’t feel like helping them either, their current state is pitiful. How about we help them one more time?"

"Those who appear pitiful have brought it upon themselves," the Wolf King sneered.

Dongfang Wuheng sighed. "We all come from Spirit State. Should we be so heartless?"

"Heartless?" The Wolf King seemed startled, then laughed in anger.

Dongfang Wuheng frowned, eventually smiling apologetically. "I misspoke. My apologies." He doesn’t want to offend Qin Feiyang or the Wolf King in the current situation, he thought.

"Does an apology wrap it up?" the Wolf King chuckled coldly.

"And what would you have me do?" Dongfang Wuheng asked. "Kneel down in apology like they are?"

The Wolf King’s eyes shone with a fierce light, as if it was about to take action, but Qin Feiyang stopped it, conveying in a low voice, "Ignore him."

He then looked at Wu Yan and the others, saying, "I will not allow you to enter the fortress again. However, seeing as Dong Zhengyang pleaded on your behalf, I can have the Wolf King escort you. Whether you live or die in the end will depend on your luck and Fortune."

Dong Zhengyang nodded. "That’s fine. The Wolf King is fast; you guys will have a greater chance of survival."

That’s it? Wu Yan and the others looked disappointed, but despite their resentment, they dared not show it. Because Dongfang Wuheng’s comment just then had already angered the Wolf King and Qin Feiyang. If they dared utter another word, Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King surely wouldn’t take them along, leaving them with absolutely no hope. But at least now, they still had a ray of hope.
