But he still completed that action.
Long before his arm was twisted off, long before he threw the dagger, and when the pause revealed that even fate was helping Morioka...
Wen Xishu had already left himself no way out.
He resolutely swallowed that drop of liquid. All bodily reactions—Wen Xishu was unsure if they were brought on by the ninja or by that drop of liquid.
He only felt intense pain all over his body, as his consciousness began to be torn apart by some immense power.
His whole being seemed to be constantly falling and rising at the same time.
An endless violent desire instantly destroyed all rationality as if he was in a desolated village, feeling infinite resentment.
It was a woman's resentment, betrayed by countless people.
This resentment, almost tangible, began to converge, enveloping Wen Xishu entirely, like armor cast around him.
But it also seemed to be completely consuming him.
In Hujiang Restaurant, people thought that the assassin had lost the ability to move, but no one expected the shadows of Morioka Immortal and the councilor to start writhing continuously.
Tens of ninjas suddenly appeared.
They seemed to have sensed a great danger and no longer hid in the dark.
The wealthy patrons had no idea what was happening, thinking it was all part of a performance. But in the next second, a huge blood-red mist erupted from the supposedly incapacitated Wen Xishu.
Under the strange blood fog, Wen Xishu's skin began to pale, and his nails and hair started to grow rapidly.
The clothes he was wearing were corroded by the blood mist, turning red as if dyed scarlet, resembling a blood-red Chinese bridal gown.
At that moment, he even bore some resemblance to Wenren Mirror, revealing a bizarre feminine appearance.
The tens of ninjas were all on high alert, sensing the crisis.
"What's going on?"
"Is this part of the performance too?"
"Grandma... I saw my grandma!"
"Who are you! Why are you pretending to be my brother? Where am I?"
"How can you be here! How can you be here! Damn it, aren't you already dead!"
"Hallucinations... it's all hallucinations!"
"Stop! Whatever this show is, stop it now!"
Everyone started muttering to themselves, making the scene extremely chaotic and noisy. Under the shroud of blood mist, many people were experiencing hallucinations.
Those they had persecuted in the past seemed to emerge from some distant desolate village, seeking their lives!
Only Morioka seemed unaffected by this force. Convincing himself that with so many ninjas present, nothing would go wrong, he nevertheless felt an inexplicable fear rising within him—
Wasn't that man supposed to be beaten half to death by the ninjas? Why did he suddenly stand up? And why had his appearance changed so drastically!
He now looked more like someone from the Netherworld Hell—a
Ghost Groom.
Fear began to drive Morioka to flee. His instincts told him that if he didn't escape now, he would die here.
In the next instant, the Ghost Groom also began his slaughter.
Even though his consciousness was torn apart and covered by endless resentment, it seemed he still remembered his mission.
In the midst of the extreme chaos, he immediately targeted the fleeing man—Morioka.
Morioka was greatly alarmed, not expecting the assassin's speed to have increased to such an exaggerated degree in an instant.
In just a breath, the Ghost Groom had already appeared before him, looking at him with a grim and venomous expression.
It was the first time he had been stared at like this, and for a moment, he was utterly terrified.
But in the next second, tens of ninjas had arrived before him, forming a protective wall of ninjas.
Three of the ninjas quickly drove their alloy blades from their waists into the Ghost Groom's body. In a brief moment, these terrifying ninjas formed an encirclement, immediately organizing an attack to trap the Ghost Groom.
Morioka didn't dare to boast because the assassin seemed lifeless, with no change in expression.
What the hell is this thing?
Is it something more terrifying than ninjas?
Why, even though he had absolute happiness, was he being targeted by such a thing?
The blood-covered Ghost Groom seemed to ignore the blades piercing his body, his gaze once again locking onto Morioka.
His figure seemed to transform into red mist, making him appear ethereal.
Then this terrifying mist exploded, like a storm blowing past.
The upper bodies of six ninjas exploded directly.
The rest of the ninjas' bodies were also affected, becoming a bloody mess. However, shortly after, the flesh began to regenerate, healing at an astonishing speed.
This blood mist explosion not only severely injured the ninjas but also caused many of the wealthy elite in the room to explode into pieces.
The entire hall instantly turned into a scene of carnage.
Yet, somehow... Morioka was still alive.
The Ghost Groom's original goal was to kill Morioka. That was his obsession when he turned into a vengeful ghost. Even if he fell into Hell, even if his consciousness was covered by resentment, even if he lost himself from then on...
He still absolutely had to kill that man.
But Morioka had survived this terrifying blood mist explosion.
A ninja had blocked Morioka, neutralizing the impact on him.
Once again, the Ghost Groom floated over, his red sleeves fluttering. A terrifying blood blade attacked at extreme speed.
But once again, the red blood blade, blocked by the ninjas, changed direction, slashing towards others who were trapped in hallucinations.
