Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 361 Blood Vengeance

Soon, the reincarnation system notified that the mission was complete and the rewards were being distributed. Ten minutes later, I returned to Bai Mei Hospital.

Outside, the torrential rain had stopped.

This incredibly difficult and terrifying dungeon rewards everyone with 500 Resentment Crystals! Additionally, upon returning, everyone can claim a reward from the White Plum Hospital Laboratory.

But at that moment, a malevolent aura, like tangible silt, suddenly surged into the villa from all directions!
Countless tiny, colorful poisonous insects surged out of the cracks in the walls, floors, and ceilings like a tide!
"Enemy attack!!" Jiang Jin's pupils shrank sharply as he shouted, his relaxed nerves instantly tensing to the limit!
Everyone quickly ran to the first floor!
Boom!

The villa's main gate, along with the surrounding walls, was smashed to pieces by a tremendous force!
Four figures exuding a terrifying aura, like messengers from hell, appeared before the crowd, stepping on swarms of insects and dust.

The leader was a short old man named Hei Zhong, dressed in brightly colored Miao clothing, with age spots on his face and murky, lewd eyes. He was a level 4 Gu Master of witchcraft!

His gaze swept greedily over the crowd, lingering especially on Reiko Asakawa for a moment, as he made a nauseating tsk-tsk sound.

Beside him stood Chiyo, a LV4 shrine maiden who was summoning spirits. She was holding a white lantern in her hand, and inside the lantern seemed to be sealed countless illusory souls struggling in pain.

The other was a tall, thin man named Xie Xian, whose face was covered with dense, grotesque black stitches resembling centipedes. He was a level 5 cursed demon. He was expressionless, but his lifeless eyes contained a chilling power of curse.

The last one was a rather young-looking man named Sun Ming, who was also a Level 4 Gu Master and one of the founding members of the Insect Cave team.

"The Insect Nest Team's personal guard!" Yu Tianlun's expression changed drastically as he recognized these infamous figures. "What do you want! We, Nirvana, are not an official government team and have no intention of being your enemies!"

"What are we doing?" Kurozuka chuckled maliciously. "Naturally, we're sending you on your way, and while we're at it... collecting the spoils. Surviving Sadako's clutches must have been quite lucrative, right? That Japanese woman was rather pretty..."

"You're courting death!" Jiang Jin was furious, and his killing aura instantly expanded as he raised Zhong Kui's judge's pen!

"Make your move!" Yu Tianlun knew there was no way to resolve this peacefully. Although the enemy's strength was enough to overwhelm their side, they could just hold out for ten minutes!

His peach wood sword gleamed with golden light as he launched his attack on Sun Ming, who appeared to be the weakest.

The war broke out instantly!

Lian Xuan immediately used his spiritual medium technique to try and communicate with the surrounding spirits to interfere with the enemy. However, just as his spiritual power spread out, Xie Feng merely glanced at him indifferently, flicked his finger, and a curse nail shot out like a black lightning bolt, ignoring spatial distance and directly piercing Lian Xuan's brow!

Lian Xuan, a mere LV2, was utterly powerless against Yan Sheng, a LV5 Huo Dou!

Directly killed!

"Brother!!" Lian De's eyes widened in horror!
Lian Xuan's body stiffened, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell straight down.

However, at the very moment of his death, a powerful resentment erupted from his body, and his soul transformed into a hideous evil spirit, roaring as it lunged at the rift!

This is a special phenomenon that occurs when a medium dies... The evil spirit attached to their body and the medium themselves will both become vengeful ghosts!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, reincarnators do not dare to kill mediums easily.

Unfortunately, he was facing a level 5 sorcerer!

Without any further movement, Xie Feng simply opened his mouth and uttered a cryptic syllable. The attacking Lian Xuan evil spirit was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, letting out a shrill scream. Its resentment vanished instantly, returning to the contaminated layer!
"Ants," Xie Feng commented indifferently.

On the other side, a fierce glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and his five ghost eyes suddenly opened, the scarlet ghost domain about to envelop the four people in the insect cave!
"Huh? Interesting ghost power... Who are you? Are you also a medium?" Xie Feng seemed very interested in Yang Jian. He raised his hand again, and this time, five spirit-sealing nails, as thin as cow hair and shimmering with filthy light, shot out, aiming with perfect accuracy at the five open ghost eyes, including Yang Jian's forehead!
Yang Jian felt an extremely insidious sealing force, specifically targeting supernatural beings, approaching him. His ghost domain was forcibly interfered with and compressed!
The five ghost eyes felt a sharp, piercing pain and an urge to close!
"Not good!" Jiang Jin saw this and knew that Yang Jian was restricted in this world and could not fully exert his abilities, and that the evil rift's curse was too much of a counter to him.

Now that the Ghost Eye has been sealed, Yang Jian will surely die if he continues to live!

He made a decisive decision and immediately terminated the summoning contract!
"Yang Jian, go back!"

Yang Jian gave Jiang Jin a deep look. After a violent fluctuation in the fifth layer of the ghost domain, his figure quickly faded and disappeared, returning to his own world.

"One escaped? Wasn't the return route blocked?" Kurozuka coldly turned to Li Shang, "In that case, let's start with you, you little devil who plays with black magic!"

He flicked his finger, and an almost invisible golden stream of light shot towards Li Shang... That was his carefully cultivated natal Golden Silkworm Gu!

It is extremely fast and contains a variety of terrifying properties such as breaking through the body's defenses, corroding the soul, and being extremely poisonous!
Li Shang's expression was extremely solemn. He was a sorcerer and also an expert in curses, so he knew the power of the Golden Silkworm Gu!
He roared, unleashing the full power of a LV4 Blood Descendant. A dense aura of blood-red descending energy filled his body, forming thick blood shields. At the same time, he formed hand seals, attempting to use the Blood Descendant Curse to interfere with the Black Tomb!
boom!
The Golden Silkworm Gu crashed into the blood shield, producing a piercing tearing sound!
The blood shield shattered layer by layer, only to reform layer by layer!

Blood kept spilling from the corner of Li Shang's mouth, and his body trembled violently, but he actually managed to withstand this fatal blow by relying on the principle of mutual restraint of similar elements and his profound understanding of black magic! Although he was severely injured, his breath was weak, and he temporarily lost the ability to fight again, his life was saved!
"Oh? You've got some skill. No wonder you're a reincarnator from the Emu team. You're not much worse than that old devil Mo." Kurozuka was slightly surprised, then revealed a teasing smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Meanwhile, Yu Tianlun and Jiang Jin joined forces, and their battle against Sun Ming reached a fever pitch.

Yu Tianlun unleashed his full array of sorcery, talismans flying and incantations booming. Jiang Jin's judge's pen, though powerful, was utterly ineffective against Sun Ming's witchcraft defenses!
It's important to know that Sun Ming is an elder of the Insect Nest, and a LV4 Gu Mother is equivalent to a LV5 Reincarnator in a normal profession!
In his eyes, Jiang Jin and Yu Tianlun were nothing at all!
His methods were incredibly cunning; he could effortlessly employ all sorts of bizarre Gu techniques, including poisonous mist, illusions, and bone-eating worms.

Ultimately, the difference in their levels was too great. Yu Tianlun was careless and his movements were restricted by Sun Ming's Entangling Silk Gu. Then, a palm struck his chest!
"Pfft!" Yu Tianlun coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, the peach wood sword slipping from his hand.

"Commander!" Jiang Jin rushed over and helped Yu Tianlun up!

Sun Ming looked at Yu Tianlun, who was lying on the ground but still had a stubborn look in his eyes, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "He's a real man, what a pity."

He hesitated for a moment, somewhat reluctant to kill her.

After all, it was an act of bullying the weak, an unfair victory. He wouldn't have wanted to kill Yu Tianlun if it weren't for his wife's orders.

However, at that very moment...

A nauseating stench, a mixture of pus and blood, suddenly filled the air!
A figure dressed in splendid attire, with a bulky build and a veil covering his face, appeared like a ghost at the dilapidated entrance of the villa.

The leader of the Insect Nest team...Lady Pussy! A terrifying being near LV5!
She didn't even glance at Sun Ming; she simply opened her mouth slightly.

call out!
A long tongue covered in suckers, resembling a mosquito's beak, shot out with speed beyond visual perception! It precisely pierced... the neck of Yu Tianlun, who lay on the ground!
"Commander!!!" Jiang Jin, Lian De, and the others all let out a heart-wrenching roar at this moment.

Yu Tianlun suddenly arched his body, his eyes bulged, and a strange "hoarse" sound came from his throat.

He could feel the suckers on the tongue frantically sucking his blood and life force, while an even more insidious blood gu, full of rotten and proliferative power, was being injected into his body through the tongue!

Beneath his skin, one festering sore after another began to rapidly swell up, oozing pus and blood!
"No!!!" Witnessing his commander suffer such torture firsthand, Jiang Jin completely lost his mind!

He personally witnessed Ye Xiu suffering from the Blood Gu and the Pustule!

Unfortunately... Reiko drank the all-purpose antidote!

At the wedding, even the most powerful Zhu You reincarnator in Yongmeng could barely keep Ye Xiu alive!

"Lingzi, quick, bring me the [Essence of Life]!" Jiang Jin had to give it a try!
He currently... has no second [Lanruo Temple] dungeon resentment crystal to dispel the poison!

In order to buy time for Lingzi, Jiang Jin ignored the absolute difference in levels, burned all the power of his newly promoted LV3, compressed the killing domain to the extreme and attached it to the Moon Yin Blade, and rushed towards Lady Pustupid!

"Chang Wuyong said you could threaten me in the future, but as you are now, you're nothing special." A mocking smile seemed to curl at the corner of Lady Pustules' mouth beneath her veil.

The tongue that had been inserted into Yu Tianlun's neck suddenly retracted, and then lashed out casually like a whip!
Snapped!
The speed was so fast that Jiang Jin couldn't react at all!

The blade light condensed by the Moon Shadow Blade shattered instantly. He was as if he had been hit by a speeding truck. His chest caved in, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out of his mouth. His life force plummeted like a cliff!

Once again... death!
Russian nesting dolls, another layer broken!
After Jiang Jin was resurrected, Lady Pustules showed a surprised expression.

"You actually have such a rare substitute for someone else?"

It's important to know that for a substitute item to work, it needs to be prioritized by the reincarnation system. The Gu poison of the Festering Sore can't pass the priority judgment of more than 90% of protective items and substitute items, making it even more terrifying than the curse of the LV5 Nightmare Witch!
Li Shang, who was originally severely injured and listless, suddenly had a resolute light flash in his eyes! He saw Jiang Jin in grave danger, and he saw Yu Tianlun suffering a fate worse than death from the blood gu poisoning he had been given!
"Deputy Regiment Commander Jiang!" Li Shang roared like a wild beast. A surge of power from who knows where made him spring up from the ground. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he used his last strength to hold tightly to Lady Pussy, who was about to continue her attack!
As the second Soul Imprint granted by Ye Xiu, if Jiang Jin faces death, the Soul Imprint will automatically command Li Shang to fight to the death to protect Jiang Jin! This is the terrifying power of a Level 5 Soul Master's Soul Imprint!
At this moment, the LV4 Blood Descendant power within Li Shang's body was reversing, burning, and compressing wildly in an unprecedented way!
His body swelled up as if inflated, and countless protruding, writhing blood-red runes appeared on his skin!
"Bloodfall... Soul Explosion!!!"

Li Shang let out his last roar!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
A self-destruction, formed from the entire life, soul, and cultivation of a Level 4 sorcerer, erupted with a deafening roar! Terrifying crimson energy, mixed with the most vicious curses, exploded on Lady Pussy like a crimson sun!

Even a near-LV5 level pustular sorcerer like Lady Pustular would suffer severe damage in the face of a desperate counterattack from a LV4 sorcerer! In fact, if she weren't a sorcerer but a near-LV5 level sage of an ordinary profession, she would most likely be killed on the spot!
"Aaaaah!" She let out a painful and angry groan. Her bloated body staggered as she was blown apart, and the veil of pus covering her face was torn in half, revealing a small part of her rotten, hideous face covered with pustules!
The protective Gu light surrounding her body swayed violently, clearly indicating that she was seriously injured!
As for Li Shang, his body was completely destroyed, his soul scattered!
"Li Shang!!" Jiang Jin, who had just been resurrected by the Matryoshka doll technique and whose consciousness was still in a chaotic state, was terrified when he saw this scene!

"Go!!" Gao Gongwei reacted extremely quickly. Taking advantage of the moment when Lady Pustuca was injured and the others in the Insect Cave were also stunned by the shockwave of the self-destruction, he grabbed the weak Jiang Jin who had just been resurrected, and also grabbed Lingzi, who was almost scared out of her wits and could not be saved by using [Life Essence], as well as Lian De, who was also seriously injured, and frantically fled backward!

And at this time...

Yu Tianlun's empty eyes gazed at the sky.

He once shed the official robes of a censor, later became a reincarnator, and founded the Dawn Team because of his admiration for the Light Wheel Team...

Later, the team suffered a major setback during the [Night Parade of One Hundred Demons]...

Countless companions died... He and Yinqiu left the dawn...

The Nirvana team was founded in the hope that I could start over and be reborn...

However, I never got to see that day...

Yinqiu......

I've come to keep you company...

Jiang Jin, the Nirvana team, from now on... is in your hands!
……

"Jiang Jin! Run!" Gao Gongwei shouted hoarsely!
"Trying to leave?" Kurozuka sneered, about to give chase...

But at that moment, the white light of return shone on Jiang Jin, Lian De, Ling Zi, and Gao Gongwei at the same time.

Their figures began to blur and become illusory in the light.

The last thing Jiang Jin saw was Yu Tianlun lying in a pool of blood, his body covered in pustules, already a corpse; the scorched ground left after Li Shang's self-destruction; the spot where Lian Xuan disappeared; and the four nightmarish figures of the Insect Nest team.

"Insect Nest...Lady Pussy...I, Jiang Jin, swear here and now! I will raze the Insect Nest to the ground and tear you to pieces to avenge this grudge!!!"

The roar, filled with endless resentment and murderous intent, abruptly ceased in the returning white light.

……

The white light dissipated, and I returned to the radiology department inside Baimei Hospital.

Jiang Jin, Lian De, and Asakawa Reiko appeared in front of the radiology department's control panel, looking disheveled.

After a brief silence...

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh...!!!"

Jiang Jin suddenly knelt down, staring at the text prompt on his left retina:

“Reincarnator Jiang Jin, the leader of the Nirvana Team, Yu Tianlun, has died. As the deputy leader, you will temporarily assume the position of leader. If a new leader is not elected within ten days, you will officially succeed as the leader of the Nirvana Team.”

This completely confirms Yu Tianlun's death!

He looked up to the sky and let out a mournful roar like a wounded lone wolf, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain, boundless hatred, and endless regret!

Meanwhile, Lian De, standing to the side, was also seething with rage, so much so that he almost bit his lip until it bled.

"Commander! Lian Xuan! And Li Shang!" Jiang Jin's eyes were bloodshot. He recalled the tragic scene just now and clearly remembered that Madam Pustuca mentioned that she wanted to kill him because of Chang Wuyong's divination!

He roared hoarsely, "Lady Pustuca! And Chang Wuyong! I, Jiang Jin, swear to the heavens! I will spare no expense! I will exhaust all my strength! I will kill you!!!"
