Rebirth of the City Immortal

Chapter 617 Beetle!beetle! (one)

Behind Zhang Haowen, an illusory human-shaped phantom quietly floated in the air, staring at him with blurred and empty eyes.

"It's actually true! It's actually true!"

The blue veins on Zhang Haowen's forehead were beating wildly, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He believed that there were ghosts in this world, but he had never seen them with his own eyes. At this moment, he suddenly saw a ghost. Even though his cultivation had reached the late stage of Daoist, he was much stronger than this second-level ghost, and he couldn't help being frightened.

Yes, the "ghost" behind Zhang Haowen is one of the hundreds of ghosts released by Ouyang Fugui earlier!

Zhang Haowen didn't dare to act rashly, firstly because he didn't know whether his combat skills would be useful against "ghosts", and secondly because he was afraid that there would be too much noise, so he would lure the two Juejia brothers over.

Fortunately, the "ghost" just floated quietly in the sky for some reason, and did not show any intention of attacking.

While Zhang Haowen breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Time passed little by little in this deadly stalemate, and Zhang Haowen gradually became anxious.

The two brothers of the Jue family didn't think of the possibility of hiding people in the top of the tree for a while, but it doesn't mean they never thought of it.

"Left and right are just dead, it's better to fight than to sit and wait for death!"

Zhang Haowen gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed, and he slowly climbed up from the branch. The true energy in his body had already been prepared, and as long as the "ghost" dared to make any changes, he would immediately launch a counterattack.

What made Zhang Haowen breathe a sigh of relief was that the "ghost" did not move from the beginning to the end.

However, when Zhang Haowen focused all his attention on Yinhun, a black beetle the size of a fingernail appeared at some point on the branch where he was hiding.

This beetle was no different from ordinary beetles, Zhang Haowen actually noticed it, but he was staring at the ghost with all his attention at the moment, and didn't take this beetle to heart.

The beetle crawled slowly on the branches, and gradually approached Zhang Haowen's body. Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!

The black beetle suddenly shot out a bloody light, kicked the branch with its hind foot, and the whole body turned into a black streamer and shot towards Zhang Haowen.

Its speed was unimaginably fast, and Zhang Haowen was hit by it before he had time to dodge.

In order not to be discovered by the two of them, Zhang Haowen even took the protective essence into his body, so when the black beetle suddenly attacked, he was completely defenseless.

Even if a beetle pounced on him, Zhang Haowen didn't worry too much, he was a late-stage Daoist, even if he hadn't deliberately tempered his fleshy body, his fleshy body was by no means something ordinary bugs could bite.

But Zhang Haowen's eyes widened in horror the next moment, and he let out an extremely painful scream.

On his arm, the black beetle easily bit through his skin, and got into his body in an instant.

A small bulge quickly passed through Zhang Haowen's arm, and went up rapidly along his arm, and where the bulge passed, the skin was all dry and cracked.

Zhang Haowen screamed in pain, desperately urging his true energy to force the beetle out, but no matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do with the beetle, and the bulge still firmly approached his shoulder.

Once the beetle reaches the shoulder, it can take advantage of the opportunity to burrow into Zhang Haowen's chest—the chest where the internal organs are located!

Zhang Haowen's face was so distorted that he suddenly let out a scream, and grabbed the arm that had been penetrated by the beetle with his other hand and pulled it hard, tearing his arm off forcefully!
The black beetle quickly got out of the broken arm, and repeated its tricks again, turning into a ball of blood, trying to pounce on Zhang Haowen again.

Zhang Haowen almost gritted his teeth, staring at the black beetle with hatred, took out a gleaming silver hook from his intact arm, and slashed down on the black beetle fiercely.

That silver hook is unparalleled in sharpness, it is a half-broken golden core magic weapon!

The blood light of the beetle's incarnation collided with the silver hook of the magic weapon, making a light "ding" sound, and then the silver hook easily split it in half.

However, after killing the beetle, Zhang Haowen's face became even more ugly, because two figures he least wanted to see appeared under the tree.

"I didn't expect you to be hiding in a tree!"

Ju Wugui narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Haowen, with both sarcasm and ridicule in his tone:
"What? Do you still want us to invite you down?"

Zhang Haowen looked up first, and found that the ghost figure floating in the air had disappeared without a trace, sighed deeply, and jumped down from the tree.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhang Haowen didn't act too badly, he just calmly looked at Absolutely No Illness and Absolutely No Regret, and said:
"Now that I've reached this point, I don't have anything to say, but don't say anything like arresting me without a fight. Even if I die, I will splash blood on your faces!"

"Before I die, I have a question I want to ask you. It would be best if you are willing to answer. If you are not willing, just do it!"

"What question do you want to ask? Just ask." Jue Wubing walked up to Zhang Haowen slowly, and took the time to straighten his clothes.

"You Jue family has no grievances or enmity with our Zhang family, why do you want to do this to the Zhang family? My Zhang family is full of young and old, why don't you let any one go?!"

Zhang Haowen's eyes were scarlet, and he asked angrily.

"So you wanted to ask this."

Jue Wubing chuckled lightly, pointed at the Tengu warriors surrounding him with a smile, and said, "For them!"

Zhang Haowen was stunned for a moment, and looked at those Tengu warriors in confusion, and then, after he heard Jue Wubing's next words, he went completely crazy.

"For the sake of our comparison a hundred years ago, I will tell you mercifully."

Jue Wubing's faint voice echoed in the air, and he spoke an answer that drove Zhang Haowen almost crazy.

"They are the members of your Zhang family! Your Zhang family is full of families, and all the existences above innate have been refined into Tengu warriors by us!"

"Our Jue family has been doing this in secret, but not long ago, the Tengu warrior we worked so hard to refine had an accident. We had no choice but to start from scratch."

"Originally, we didn't set our target on your Zhang family, but the Zhang family was forced to leave Zhang's city and hide in a place that no one knows!"

"Jie Jie, there are so many fighters in the Zhang family, and there are hundreds of them who are above innate. As long as the Zhang family is brought together, the number of Tiangu warriors refined can reach more than half of the number we need, and there are no ghosts. I feel like no one will be able to find out who we are!"

"Now, do you understand?"
