#49 - Chapter 49: A Narrow Escape, the Bone-Transforming Path
Zhang Baisui grinned, revealing a cruel smile. Immediately, he drew the treasure sword forged from copper coins behind him and slashed at Li Ergou on the ground.
The copper coin sword emitted a blood-red glow, and just as it was about to strike Li Ergou, Zhang Baisui saw a cold light shoot towards him. At that critical moment, Zhu Zhu suddenly threw out her own sword.
Then, enduring the sharp pain, she leaped to Li Ergou's side and shouted, "Let's go!"
Li Ergou knew that he couldn't win in a fight and needed to run quickly, or his life would be over.
This time, he was determined to practice martial arts diligently with Stone when he returned.
He suppressed the pain, picked up Zhu Zhu, rolled on the ground, and then pushed off with his legs, using the force to rush out.
"Hold on tight to me, don't let go!" Li Ergou shouted.
Zhu Zhu nodded, "I know, I know."
At that moment, Zhu Zhu clung to Li Ergou like an octopus. He held her and ran quickly, while Zhang Baisui chuckled, "Want to run? Dream on."
He stomped his feet fiercely, and his body soared into the air, leaping more than ten meters with each jump, which was terrifying.
Zhu Zhu exclaimed, "Damn, he really is a cultivator of the divine path. Luckily, he doesn't bother using spells on us, or we'd be dead."
Li Ergou had no time to talk; he just wanted to escape. The cave was full of rubble, and he could be tripped if he wasn't careful, so he used all his focus to scout the path while running.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Baisui caught up in just a few leaps.
"Bang!" He actually got ahead of them.
Then, he formed a hand seal, and the sharp copper coin sword flew through the air, slashing towards them.
"Careful, it's the art of controlling the sword!" Zhu Zhu exclaimed.
Li Ergou braked suddenly, using a boulder beside him to forcefully change direction. The copper coin sword grazed his scalp, and a strand of black hair flew in the air.
Li Ergou was stunned by the attack, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He thought, 'Is this the method of the divine path? It's so powerful.'
Zhang Baisui was not annoyed by missing Li Ergou; instead, he chuckled and said, "Oh, what an agile fellow, able to avoid my fatal blow. But this will only make your heart more fearful. Your soul will be even more useful then. If I nurture it well, I might even create a ghost king.
Hahaha, hahaha... Consider yourself lucky, kid. My flying sword power can only extend ten meters; otherwise, you wouldn't be able to escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and his voice also changed, becoming much rougher. The voice said, "Kill me, kill me! I'm here to stop myself, kid, come and kill me quickly!"
Li Ergou was dumbfounded, wondering what was wrong with this person, as if he had suddenly become a different person.
Zhu Zhu said, "This person may have developed schizophrenia from cultivation, ignore him."
Li Ergou didn't plan to pay attention to that guy, but suddenly there was no road ahead. Fortunately, he saw a small hole in the corner. The hole was small, only allowing people to crawl in with their backs bent.
Now that he had no way out, he crawled in without thinking too much, taking advantage of the guy's mental confusion.
At this moment, Zhang Baisui recovered, and the voice in his mouth became sharp again, as if talking to the air or to himself, "Damn it, why aren't you dead yet? Why do you have to torture me? You are me, and I am you. Isn't it good to live well?
As long as we collect the flesh and blood of forty-nine babies and refine the Blood Infant Pill, we can cultivate the Bone-Melting Path. Then you and I will completely merge into one. Isn't that good?"
His roar gave Li Ergou the opportunity and time. He had already crawled into the cave. Unexpectedly, the cave was different. The space here was not small, with a radius of dozens of feet. There were many stalactites inside, either hanging upside down or standing upright.
What surprised him most was that in the center of the cave, there was a huge stone statue. It was a monster statue with a dog's head and a human body, about ten feet tall.
What was even more unexpected was that there were nine eyes on the dog's head.
Li Ergou seemed to suddenly remember that Big White Elephant had sadly mentioned yesterday that there was a rumor in the town about a Heavenly Dog Cave, but no one had ever found it. So, this must be the Heavenly Dog Cave, and this statue must be the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Dog.
Before he could think too much, he saw the copper coin sword fly in, and he quickly dodged.
After a while, Zhang Baisui also crawled in from the outside of the cave. When he saw the scene in the cave, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and laugh loudly, "Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, you kid is actually my lucky star. So this is the legendary Heavenly Dog Cave.
Hehehe, great, after I kill you, I'll take a good look at what secrets this statue holds."
Li Ergou secretly thought it was bad, only thinking about escaping. At this moment, this was really a dead end. He looked around, with no way to run.
However, Zhang Baisui had already come at him with his sword. Helpless, he could only run around the stalactites.
Zhang Baisui chased for a while, panting and roaring, "Damn guy, you can't escape anyway, come here quickly, let me give you a sword."
"Stinky Taoist, want to kill me? You'll die of exhaustion. If you have the ability, put down your sword and let's fight barehanded. What's the big deal with you holding a sword?"
Zhang Baisui suddenly stopped. He smiled evilly, "Really? You want to fight me hand-to-hand?"
Li Ergou thought, 'Is this Zhang Baisui stupid? He actually believed what I said casually.' He couldn't help but come up with a plan, constantly nodding, "Okay, you put down your sword, and I'll fight you one-on-one without running away."
Zhang Baisui threw down his sword without hesitation, but sneered in his heart, "Kid, as long as you are within ten steps of me, I will definitely use the flying sword technique to cut you in half, letting you play tricks on me."
Zhu Zhu whispered in Li Ergou's ear, "Don't believe his nonsense, he knows the art of controlling the sword."
Li Ergou had already seen this person's art of controlling the sword. He naturally had a plan in his mind, letting this guy put down his sword. He was just calculating how long it would take him to run out of the cave and whether he could run out before he launched the art of controlling the sword.
Zhang Baisui chuckled, "I threw the sword, come over here."
Li Ergou was about to speak, but unexpectedly, a black shadow at the entrance of the cave suddenly pounced on Zhang Baisui. This thing was extremely fast. Before Zhang Baisui and Li Ergou could react, the thing had already knocked Zhang Baisui to the ground. Then it began to frantically grab and bite Zhang Baisui.
