Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Nie Shuangshuang had no intention of killing Zhu Zhen. Without figuring out what Zhu Zhen really was, Nie Shuangshuang wouldn’t kill him, so the Thousand Silk Entanglement only tied up Zhu Zhen’s hands and feet.

However, Nie Shuangshuang didn’t relax in her cutting down of the surrounding ghost demons. While controlling Zhu Zhen, the speed of other Thousand Silk Entanglement attacks accelerated, directly finishing off the remaining ghost demons.

While everyone else was busy fighting, Nie Shuangshuang suddenly turned on her own people. For a moment, everyone around was stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.

Fortunately, the surrounding ghost demons were also cleared out, so everyone stopped and, holding their weapons, looked at Nie Shuangshuang, then at Zhu Zhen, who was tied up like a dumpling, not knowing how to react.

It was Zhu Zhen’s friends who reacted first and immediately tried to go forward to rescue Zhu Zhen.

Nie Shuangshuang gave them a cold stare, the Thousand Silk Entanglement moved at her will and instantly controlled the three male cultivators as well, preventing them from causing trouble. Then she raised a hand, forcing Zhu Zhen to lift the hand he had been clutching.

Nie Shuangshuang raised a hand, pointed at his clenched fist, Zhu Zhen’s hand trembled, then involuntarily opened, revealing fine powder scattered in his palm to everyone.

Nie Shuangshuang called over to Xu Fengsheng, "Sect Master Xu, could you please take a look at what this powder in his palm really is?" Xu Fengsheng, as the Sect Master of the Dan Dao Sect, was knowledgeable about strange items.

This action by Nie Shuangshuang also made everyone realize something was wrong. In an instant, those who still wanted to take action also stopped and turned their attention to Xu Fengsheng.

Xu Fengsheng, with a serious expression, leaned over, first covering his hands with spiritual energy, then cautiously pinched a bit of the powder from Zhu Zhen’s hand with two fingers.

After pinching it in his hand, he placed it under his nose to sniff. Momentarily, Xu Fengsheng’s face turned extremely unpleasant and he glared fiercely at Zhu Zhen, saying to Nie Shuangshuang, "This thing is Transcendance Tribulation Stage ghost demon demon core powder."

"Of what use is Transcendance Tribulation Stage ghost demon demon core powder?" Yun Jue asked, frowning at Xu Fengsheng.

Everyone else was also looking at Xu Fengsheng, but they all had a feeling that this thing was definitely not for a good purpose.

Indeed, Xu Fengsheng looked at Zhu Zhen with great disgust and said, "The demon core of a ghost demon is highly toxic, cultivators cannot touch it, but for ghost demons it’s like Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to a cultivator.

The inner core of a ghost demon can enhance a ghost demon’s cultivation level, increasing their level, the stronger the ghost demon’s inner core, the more potent its effect.

If crushed into powder and scattered on the ground, the aura of the ghost demon inner core would emanate, attracting countless ghost demons scrambling for it."

This cleared up any doubts the crowd had about why a usually solitary High-level Ghost Demon would suddenly congregate and attack them; it was Zhu Zhen’s doing.

The ones most unable to accept this result were Zhu Zhen’s three male cultivator companions. They never imagined that Zhu Zhen would do such a thing as they had completely trusted him before, wholeheartedly siding with him.

Zhu Zhen scheming like this meant he was also counting their lives into the mix, not treating them as companions at all.

The others were also very upset, each of their gazes towards Zhu Zhen carrying killing intent, fortunately, this time Nie Shuangshuang noticed it in time.

If Nie Shuangshuang had not noticed, who knows how many High-level Ghost Demons would have been drawn in by Zhu Zhen. Even if they could slaughter them, if Zhu Zhen kept drawing more, it would be dangerous for them eventually.

Xu Fengsheng took a small bag and carefully collected the ghost demon inner core powder from Zhu Zhen’s hand.

Then he took out a stick of incense and lit it, soon covering the aura of ghost demon inner core powder that Zhu Zhen had spread.

"Zhu Zhen, why did you do this? Did you know you’d be killing us with such an action!"

"Zhu Zhen, don’t you have a conscience, betraying us like this, after all, we’ve done trusting you and speaking good for you!"

"Luo Feng is right, you’re possessed by a ghost demon, where have you hidden the real Zhu Zhen?"

Zhu Zhen’s three companions looked at him with angry red eyes, continuously accusing him, while Zhu Zhen knew he’d been caught in the act and couldn’t escape, so he just coldly laughed without a word.

Nie Shuangshuang looked at Zhu Zhen and didn’t intend to waste words. She knew asking him what he was wouldn’t yield answers, so she decided to use spiritual power to directly explore inside Zhu Zhen’s body, convinced she would find out his identity.

But before Nie Shuangshuang’s spiritual power touched Zhu Zhen’s body, his face suddenly twisted in pain, and the blood vessels under his skin instantaneously bulged.

Veins burst into alarming bulges, pulsating under the skin as if bugs crawled within them, or like the blood gushing through at breakneck speed.

Zhu Zhen’s face turned an ominous red, his veins throbbing, his eyes bulging as though they might pop out, and everyone watched as Zhu Zhen’s blood vessels abruptly ruptured, spraying a mist of blood which spattered everywhere.

Zhu Zhen’s body gave two violent shakes before collapsing to the ground, eyes wide open, devoid of any breath.

All this transpired in a split second, giving no one time to react before Zhu Zhen was dead!

This sudden turn caught everyone by surprise, causing the crowd to stand around Zhu Zhen’s body at a loss, eventually finding upon investigation that Zhu Zhen had truly stopped breathing.

Moreover, Zhu Zhen’s body began to age rapidly and decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into a pile of slime-like goop, continuously emitting a pungent odor.

Everyone couldn’t help but step back, covering their noses, as the situation was too disgusting.

"What on earth was that thing? Did it commit suicide to prevent us from discovering its secrets?" Gong Ziyun asked with a disgusted expression, leaning into Beichen Ran’s embrace.

Nie Shuangshuang frowned, saying nothing, as she always felt an inexplicable familiarity coming from Zhu Zhen’s body.

It felt as if she had once fought a life-and-death battle with him, yet her memory told her it was all a misconception.

Moreover, Nie Shuangshuang sensed that this Zhu Zhen didn’t seem dead, but Zhu Zhen had already decayed into nothing before her eyes, leaving no suspicious place.

No matter how unwilling they felt since he was dead, Zhu Zhen’s companions, including Luo Feng, were checked thoroughly. After realizing nothing was wrong, everyone rushed to leave the Nantian Ghost Kingdom.

After Nie Shuangshuang and the others had left for nearly an hour, where Zhu Zhen had died, the blood sprayed from Zhu Zhen’s body, which had seeped into the ground as a bloody mist, began to rise to the surface again.

The droplets of blood surfaced, slowly gathering together, eventually forming a humanoid figure made of blood, that figure watched the departing silhouettes of Nie Shuangshuang, remaining motionless for a long time.
