Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

In the dimly lit corridor, the bronze door, along with Qi Xie, was overturned by an inexplicable force.

The bronze door tumbled several times in the air and flew eight or nine meters away.

Qi Xie lightly touched the wall with his toes, rolled half a circle in the air, steadied himself, and landed lightly. He raised his head, squinted at the ghost bride, and a flash of crimson crossed his eyes:

"Is this... a sharing of the Ghost Bridegroom's power?"

From his perspective, enhanced by the [Spirit Sight], a thick, almost tangible black mist was gushing out from the Ghost Bride, with crimson flashes within it like lightning in dark clouds.

The concentration of this strange energy was almost twice as strong as when she first appeared.

The ghost bride had countless wounds on her body, exposed bone fragments and shattered tissues that were indistinguishable from different parts of her body, and was oozing thick, black, foul blood.

The damage Qi Xie inflicted on her was too great, and it would not heal in a short time.

But her severed right hand has regenerated.

At this moment, the ghost bride, with her long black hair, floated in mid-air, raised like a venomous snake, and stared menacingly at Qi Xie.

This is a manifestation of her further increase in power, but it is also a disguise.

However, this disguise was completely ineffective against Qi Xie's [Spirit Sight] ability to see through weaknesses.

Above the ghost bride's head, eerie black mist swirled and churned like a vortex.

That is the core weakness of the ghost bride.

Qi Xie held the Blood Axe by his side, using his right hand to lift it while keeping his left hand free so he could retrieve other sealed artifacts from the shadows to provide support at any time.

He didn't attack immediately because he noticed something unusual about the ghost bride.

"This ghost bride... isn't she missing a veil?"

Qi Xie narrowed his eyes slightly.

As a seasoned blogger who unpacks "blind boxes," he has dug up and seen many tomb owners dressed in ghost wedding attire.

Therefore, he had seen the style of the ghost bride's wedding dress before.

In his memory, this style of ghost wedding dress should also have a red veil.

Looking at the ghost bride's attire, Qi Xie imagined for a moment and realized that if there were a red veil, it would cover her most vulnerable spot.

"Is it because the red veil is gone, so you're using your hair to cover your weakness?"

Qi Xie's thoughts raced.

Why isn't the red veil on?

Either the ghost bride hid herself, or she was kidnapped.

Considering that no one else should be going to the back room to do something reckless besides himself, Qi Xie was more inclined to the former.

The question is, what could be so important that the ghost bride would rather use her own hair to cover herself than hide her red veil?

What could be more important than covering up your weaknesses?

"I haven't read any guides. Does this ghost bride have any hidden mechanics?"

Qi Xie didn't rush to attack. While stretching his limbs, he turned his head and called out to Bai Yiyi.

Bai Yiyi and Wang Shan had both read the walkthrough for this dungeon, so there might be some points they could refer to.

Upon hearing Qi Xie's voice, the two paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Qi Xie was still waiting for a reply when he suddenly heard a gust of wind beside him!

Before he could turn around, Qi Xie leaned back and bent over, his body almost parallel to the ground.

A sharp, blood-red fingernail, at least forty centimeters long, whistled past Qi Xie's nose.

Qi Xie braced his free left hand on the ground, twisted his waist in mid-air with a move similar to street dance, and kicked the ghost bride in the face.

He kicked the ghost bride away.

Qi Xie used his left hand to exert force, twisted in mid-air, and landed gracefully facing the ghost bride with a mocking smile.

Throughout the entire process, the blood axe he was holding in his right hand didn't even disrupt his balance.

This is how terrifying B-level flesh enhancement skills are.

The ghost bride got up from the ground, her face twisted from being kicked. She looked at Qi Xie with a mixture of shock and wariness, and only one thought crossed her mind—this guy is human?

The force of that kick was so terrifying that it felt like she had been injured by the Universiade.

"You're getting impatient."

Qi Xie casually tossed the blood axe over his shoulder with one hand and chuckled:

"You deliberately cover the top of your head to conceal your weakness, making it look like you're trying to hide something, thus drawing the participants' attention to the weakness on the top of your head."

In reality, you are not worried about your weaknesses being discovered.

If I'm not mistaken, you're not even worried about your weaknesses being exploited, because you don't care.

The reason you don't care is probably related to some kind of mechanism. I guess it's related to a red veil.

So you're so eager to attack me, trying to hide something from me..."

Qi Xie spoke slowly and deliberately, while the ghost bride's expression gradually became ferocious, filled with murderous intent.

"Mr. Qi!"

Just then, Bai Yiyi shouted, speaking urgently:

"I remember now! The Ghost Bride has a hidden mechanic: she can't be killed! Some participants tried to eliminate her before, but she reappeared in less than ten minutes..."

call out!

Bai Yiyi hadn't finished speaking yet.

Black hair lashed out like a venomous snake, hurtling straight toward her with a whooshing sound!

Bai Yiyi's pupils contracted.

call--!

The sound of a heavy object breaking through the wind arose.

All the strands of hair were cut off.

Qi Xie stood in front of Bai Yiyi, the blood-red axe in his hand gleaming sharply, and looked at the ghost bride with a light tone:

"Looks like I guessed right—that red veil was the key item for your resurrection, wasn't it?"

"Oh……"

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, the ghost bride grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and sneered:

"Interesting kid, but what good will it do you if you find out? You still can't do anything to me."

Let me tell you, my veil is in my wedding room. As long as the veil is still there, I can be resurrected indefinitely, while you will lose everything if you die even once!

From the moment you barged into the back room, you were destined to die!

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qi Xie's face darkened, revealing a somewhat solemn expression:

"If I just run away, can you stop me?"

"..."

The ghost bride's eye twitched.

Can she do it?

That's really not possible.

Even with the combined power of her husband, the ghost groom, she wasn't confident she could defeat the incredibly powerful and somewhat eerie young man before her.

But on second thought, it might not be so bad if we could get rid of this young man.

If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?

I'll let you go, and I'll kill the others, okay?

"Looks like you can't stop me now~?"

Qi Xie's expression turned somewhat comical, and he mocked in an extremely irritating tone.

The ghost bride's forehead veins bulged as she gritted her teeth and said:

"Yes, I can't stop you. What good would it do me to mercifully allow you to flee in such a sorry state!"

"Ah~ I see~ You won't stop me from leaving, right~ Hmm~"

"But that's the mindset of the weak."

Qi Xie changed the subject, the comical expression on his face gradually disappearing, replaced by calm.

But this calmness carries a certain absolute confidence and domineering attitude.

"Let's start from here."

"I will pave the way with your corpse until I find your wedding chamber, and then I will tear your red veil to shreds."

Qi Xie's voice was calm and gentle, yet it sounded incredibly arrogant to the ears:

"If you show up once, I'll kill you once; if you show up ten times, I'll kill you ten times."
