Chapter 228 Death Begins

As a powerful soul realm expert, Zhang Xun could feel that many people had died on this floor at some point in the past, and the fear of these people after death still remained. The only strange thing was that after searching for so long, not a single body was found. If this place was really haunted, and the ghost really killed someone, then there must be bodies left behind.

Judging from the blockade outside, it is impossible for anyone here to deal with the corpses.

Following his feeling, Zhang Xun found the door of a room on this floor.

The door was not locked and was ajar.

However, there were many scratches on the wall next to the door. There were bloodstains on those scratches, and it looked like someone had grabbed the wall with his hands while dragging. This showed that there was indeed something in the room.

"Something's wrong."

Zhang Xun frowned as he looked at the scratches, and instinctively felt a little uneasy.

This feeling is not normal.

He is a strong man in the soul realm. In his eyes, some dangers that ordinary people cannot deal with are not worth mentioning at all. But why is there this uneasiness in his heart?

With some doubt, Zhang Xun pushed open the half-open door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he immediately felt a chilly breath enveloping his whole body. Even though he was a cultivator, he couldn't help but shiver. Then he quickly realized that this cold was not in the physical sense, because the temperature in the room was not low. This cold was like an intrusion from the soul.

It is like some kind of energy field that is invisible to normal people, but can indirectly affect people, such as the complete strange object, the Feather of the Luanfeng, when crossing the border.

But there is no energy field in this room.

It seems like it is shrouded by an extremely evil force, which, if it is to be accurately described, should be called supernatural power.

Zhang Xun's eyes were shining. The dark environment had no effect on him at all. He just walked a few steps into the room. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly. Not far in front of him, there was a clothes hanger. On the hanger was an old piece of clothing. The clothes were dark red in color, like a costume, and the wide sleeves were swaying slightly. At first glance, it looked like someone was waving at him.

"An old costume?"

He looked around but didn't find anything unusual. The only thing that was wrong was this old costume.

Moreover, in Zhang Xun's perception, the source of all uneasiness seemed to come from this costume.

But his eyes did not see any trace of the evil spirit.

Zhang Xun thought about it and walked towards the costume. He was quite cautious at first, but he didn't find any danger until he got closer. The closer he got to the dark red costume, the colder the surrounding environment felt. At the same time, he also smelled a faint stench of corpse.

The uneasiness in my heart is magnifying.

But after walking around the costume for a few times, Zhang Xun still couldn't see any clues: "There is no evil spirit possessed by it, and no cosmic energy is emanating from it, just..."

Then he looked at the wide cuffs.

There was darkness inside the sleeves.

Even an evolver of his level could not see through the darkness.

This is the only thing that doesn't make sense.

Finally, Zhang Xun reached out and touched it with some curiosity. He wanted to confirm the material of this old costume. In his opinion, the material of this clothes was very special and did not look like ordinary fabric.

He reached out and touched his cuffs.

It felt cold to the touch, and the material was indeed magical. He stretched out his fingers and rubbed it with a little force. Not to mention cloth, even metal could be deformed by him, and he rubbed off a layer of iron sheet. However, this piece of clothing was only deformed, and there was no sign of damage at all.

Strange object?

This guess immediately popped up in Zhang Xun's mind.

Because only strange objects can be so indestructible.

However, this idea was quickly denied by him, because the clothes did not emit any energy field, which fundamentally denied the possibility of it being a strange object.

But at this moment.

suddenly.

Suddenly, a blue, black, and very cold hand stretched out from the depths of the wide sleeves and grabbed Zhang Xun's wrist. The force was very strong, but for a practitioner, such force was nothing. It was just this sudden scene that made people feel horrified.

Ok?
Zhang Xun's face suddenly changed, and then he instantly realized that the ghost in this building was most likely hiding in this old costume.

However, what was incredible was that more than one hand stretched out from the cuffs of the costume, and then the second, third, and fourth hands stretched out. These cold and blue hands kept climbing and overlapping, covering Zhang Xun's arms. At the same time, a terrifying pulling force came, trying to pull him into the depths of the cuffs.

"Just some evil spirits, they don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is."

Zhang Xun suddenly shouted, and energy surged all over his body. He instantly emitted a brilliant light. This light was like the energy burst of a strange object, which could instantly repel any creature around him, including evil spirits. However, as his energy burst, the strange hand that was holding him was not affected at all, but continued to erode his arm. In just a moment, one of his arms had been pulled into the sleeve of the costume. What was even more strange was that the costume that was originally hung on the hanger actually stood up slowly like a tall living person, and opened its collar, covering Zhang Xun.

Inside the costume was a bottomless darkness, like an abyss, which enveloped him and seemed to swallow him whole.

Zhang Xun's face suddenly changed, and the power of the soul realm strongman suddenly burst out.
At this moment, the hard ground roared, and deep cracks appeared under his feet. His whole body was glowing, and he tried to use his powerful strength to break free from the restraints, tear the old costume into pieces, and defeat the evil spirit in front of him.

However, no matter how strong he was or how he released the energy in his body, he could not destroy this old costume or break free.

And until now, his soul perception had not given any warning.

"How could this happen?" Zhang Xun was shocked and angry because he couldn't understand this scene.

Why can't a strong man like me in the soul realm deal with a piece of clothing?
If this were to be told to others, who would believe it?
However, the tall costume enveloped him, and he was unable to resist. He could only watch as the darkness enveloped him. At the same time, in the darkness, he also felt countless hands pulling him, as if trying to pull him deeper into the darkness.

At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that if he fell into that darkness, there would be no way he would come back alive.

Now Zhang Xun understood why this place was blocked and why there were no bodies found after the haunting. It turned out that all the dead people were eaten by this old costume.

"Am I going to die here? No." Zhang Xun roared unwillingly. His whole body was bright and the cosmic energy in his body was released again. In the light, an illusory figure of Zhang Xun rushed out.

That is his soul.

The strong ones in the soul realm have already condensed their souls. At critical moments, they can leave their bodies and allow their souls to move. The souls can even cross tiny wormholes and go to another world.

However, there are great risks in the soul crossing the boundary. If one is not careful, one will become a silent being. Moreover, the soul after crossing the boundary is easily eroded and eventually die.

But now Zhang Xun can no longer care about these.

He had completely understood that the ghosts in this world were very special, completely different from the evil ghosts they knew. It seemed that there was no way to kill them at all, because even with his full strength at the soul level, he was unable to harm the ghosts here at all. If he did not escape under such circumstances, he would be dead.

However, the moment Zhang Xun's soul rushed out, it was entangled by the sleeves of the old costume. Under the pulling force, his soul seemed to be torn apart.

"What a joke, even souls can be captured? What the hell kind of world is this?" Zhang Xun's soul was terrified at this moment.

However, the old costume did not give him room to struggle. As the dark red sleeves pulled, his soul was dragged into darkness.

A powerful soul realm expert just disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace at all.

Then the room fell silent again.

But no one else outside noticed anything that happened here.

This is not normal.

You have to know that practitioners in the Spiritual Perception Realm have amazing hearing and perception, and they can hear any movement. However, Zhang Xun made such a loud noise in the room, but no one came to check.

It was not until a moment later that everyone who had finished exploring this floor discovered something was wrong.
Zhang Xun is missing?
It's a little ridiculous, but it seems to be true.

Zhang Xun, the team leader, was missing.

"No way, this floor is so small, they can hear everything we say, and how can people disappear like this?" Qin Bing said in disbelief.

"It's true that we haven't found any trace of the captain." Zhang Jing said. She shouted a few times and her voice echoed, but there was no response.

Tao Yuan frowned and said, "I'm afraid something has happened, but I just saw Captain Zhang Xun going over there."

Then he pointed.

It was a corridor, and at the end of the corridor there seemed to be a room with a half-open door and darkness inside.

"Let's go and take a look?" Zhang Jing asked tentatively.

"Okay." The others had no objection.

But Li Yi didn't know why, it seemed like there was a voice telling him not to go over there and not to be curious.

suddenly.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, causing his body to sway slightly, and his pupils unconsciously turned black at this moment.

But soon.

The tingling sensation disappeared, and Li Yi returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
