I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1327: Ghostly Night (Nine Updates)

"Damn it, the thruster malfunctioned!" Just as your Zuku began to move more sluggishly, two enemy Zuku units had already arrived in front of you.

"Out of the way!" Two green beams shot out swiftly, striking the body of one Zuku blocking your path, while the other managed to evade by sinking down.

"Damn it!" Eastern Yunlong’s expression darkened as he shouted, "All of you, get out of the way!"

All enemy Zuku units immediately scattered, leaving you facing the Qinglong ship directly.

"Mu Yun, you killed my cousin! I’ll make you pay for that!"

"Haha, killed your cousin?" You laughed maniacally, opening the world channel and shouting to all machines nearby capable of receiving the signal, "I swear here and now, not only will I destroy you, Eastern Yunlong, but I will also kill every single one of your family members and obliterate everyone connected to you!"

"Die!" The Qinglong ship’s two dragon heads immediately locked onto you, blasting out two massive laser beams directly at you. Simultaneously, dozens of missiles launched from its sides.

"Heh." You smirked darkly, quickly firing two shots at the dragon heads while twisting your machine to evade the laser beams. However, your machine was still struck by one of the missiles.

Red alarms blared instantly. You took out the game glasses from your pocket, chuckled, and said, "Just wait for my revenge!"

At that moment, everyone saw it—without warning, you vanished into thin air. The next second, your Zuku exploded, and at the same time, the Qinglong ship began sounding its own alarms.

"What hap—" A monitor operator’s sentence hadn’t been finished before the Qinglong ship experienced a violent shake.

"What’s going on?" Eastern Yunlong roared almost uncontrollably.

"The main cannon... The main cannon was destroyed by that bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Eastern Yunlong’s raging fury caused him to stand up abruptly, grabbing the officer by the collar and shouting, "How could the Qinglong ship suffer damage from that kind of attack?!"

"The laser he fired struck the energy junction at the precise moment the Qinglong ship was transferring energy. The transfer time is only one-tenth of a second, yet he still—"

Eastern Yunlong finally released the officer but with even greater anger in his eyes: "Mu Yun, mark my words, I’ll hunt you to the ends of the earth, even in the game!"

Just as the Zuku exploded, you had already entered the Arrogance game.

But unlike usual, the place where you appeared was pitch black, so dark that you couldn’t see your own hand.

Flat on your back, the ground beneath you was icy cold. As your right hand moved slightly, it encountered an equally cold and chilling object—a blade. You gripped its hilt and lifted it. It was a remarkably heavy blade.

Recalling the battle at the altar, you realized this was the very blade that you had pulled from its base that day. Yet strangely, it felt as though your life was inexplicably intertwined with this blade.

"What’s going on here?" You stood up, and as you pondered, a chilling wind swept over you, illuminating your surroundings in sudden brightness.

"Hey, I smell a human." An icy voice pierced the silence.

"What a shame it’s a man. If it were a woman, all the better."

"Having human flesh to eat is already a blessing. Don’t be so picky."

Before you, several ghosts and ghouls appeared, each radiating an aura that made you feel deeply uneasy.

"Who are you?" You raised the heavy blade before you.

"Human, are you blind? Can’t you see we’re ghosts?" one of the ghosts taunted with a sinister grin.

"Enough nonsense! I’m asking which faction you belong to, and what this place is called."

"What? You don’t even know where you are, yet you dared to come?" The ghost laughed derisively. "To enlighten you before you die, I’ll tell you: This is the Netherworld, specifically a No-Man’s-Land. Haha, normally King Ming forbids us from attacking strangers, but even King Ming doesn’t control this area. So kid, die here and now."

"Hah, just you lot?" Suddenly, your body vanished. A streak of blue light sliced through the air, prompting a ghost to emit a blood-curdling scream before disintegrating into nothingness.

"That... that blade..."

"Ghostly Night!"

"It’s the Ghostly Night blade!" The ghosts scattered in panic, but the ghouls couldn’t run as fast. One hadn’t even fled far before you caught up. The Ghostly Night blade in your hand radiated blue light, with streaming currents running and swirling across its surface.

"So this blade is actually the Ghostly Night?"

"Ye-yes, of course. Don’t you know?"

You nodded, recognizing the weapon as the treasure Mei Ye had directed you to seize. Pointing the blade at the ghoul, you demanded, "Tell me, where exactly is this place?"

"This is the lower reaches of the Styx River."

"Where is the Ghost King? How do I get to his residence?" Suddenly, you recalled being subordinate to the Skeleton General.

"Follow this river upstream. There are villages along the Styx River—I’m sure they’ll know. I don’t have specifics myself."

"Is this Netherworld filled only with creatures like you?" freewebnøvel.com

"Of course not. Undead creatures only make up one-third of the Netherworld’s population. The rest are living beings, although they belong to different races and are always at war. Unlike us undead, they lack cohesion."

"Where’s the Styx River?"

"Look left." You tilted your head slightly, only for the ghoul to suddenly open its mouth, lunging at you to bite. "Hmph!"

Blue light flashed, the ghoul shrieked and disintegrated into ashes.

Gradually, daylight broke. To your astonishment, on the horizon, a purple sun began to rise! The entire world turned into shades of purple. Looking down, you saw the lifeless ground sprouting vegetation that grew as if alive. Once barren, the area transformed into a lush grove.

Looking further left, the once foggy zone had become a wide river. Water flowed rapidly, its roaring waves echoing loudly.

You leapt onto a tall tree and gazed out. At that moment, you realized the Netherworld was unexpectedly and breathtakingly beautiful.

This place was unlike the human world. The purple sunlight felt warm against your skin. A gentle breeze carried faint hints of floral scent.

You savored the touch of the wind. Meanwhile, the Ghostly Night blade in your hand trembled slightly, producing a resonant hum.

You raised the Ghostly Night high above your head. Under the purple light, the blade radiated dazzling blue energy, its brilliance rivaling the purple sun’s glow! While the blade emitted light, it also sent a stream of pure energy into your meridians. At first faint, it grew stronger and clearer. As the purple sun ascended, the stream surged uncontrollably, hitting you with an overwhelming force. A sweet taste filled your mouth as blood sprayed forth.

"What’s happening?" Bewildered, you inspected yourself. You weren’t injured; instead, you felt reborn, the stream coursing endlessly through your meridians like flowing water.

Exhaling slowly, your eyes gleamed brightly. Then you shouted fervently, "Raging Moon Wave!"
