Chapter 174 Host Death
Chapter 174 Host Death (Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month!)
On the surface of the Minjiang River, the Minjiang Grandma shuttled underwater and swam very quickly. Her huge body even raised the river surface by more than ten feet!
Her speed had reached its limit, but behind her, a series of spells were chasing her, several times faster than her speed!
Fei Tianzheng and others were determined to silence them. The first people they wanted to kill were "godmothers" like Minjiang Grandma and Hongshan Niangniang, and then they would kill all the gang members of Caolaohui and Hongshantang, and bring peace to Gongzhou. Then they could rest assured.
They are powerful beings in the realm of refining emptiness and the realm of gods. They have great magical powers. A spell can directly hit an area hundreds of miles away with astonishing power. It is just a matter of a flick of the sleeve to destroy an existence like Minjiang Grandma.
Chen Shi stood on Grandma Minjiang's head and looked back, but saw the raging flames blocking all his vision, leaving only the overwhelming fire.
And under the flames, the water surface began to evaporate rapidly.
The strange thing is that the river water does not boil, but evaporates directly.
A thought popped up in his mind: "I am at the critical moment of life and death, and I am still thinking about these trivial things."
The fire that blocked Chen Shi's vision was just a spell cast by Deputy General Jiang Shouqing, the Zhurong Transformation among the Three Transformations of Qiongtai, which conjured up the corner of the clothes of the god and demon Zhurong.
The real magic is extremely huge, and from Chen Shi’s perspective, he cannot see the whole picture.
And after Zhurong Transformation, there are more than ten other spells, which are only more powerful than Zhurong Transformation!
However, Zhurong changed the fastest and arrived behind Grandma Minjiang first.
Just as Zhu Rong was about to drown them, a dog suddenly barked ahead. Chen Shi looked forward hastily, but saw Granny Sha standing on the river ahead with a bamboo basket in her hand.
Chen Shi remembered this basket. Grandma Sha raised chickens and put the eggs in the basket when they laid.
When the basket is full of eggs, the old woman will carry the basket to the nearest Qiaowan Town market to sell the eggs.
A basket of eggs can be exchanged for dozens of coins.
This is one of the few extra incomes that Granny Sha earns besides summoning spirits.
The reason why Chen Shi knew it so clearly was that he once lived in Grandma Sha's house, where Grandma Sha had little food to eat and, of course, he ate a lot of eggs. At one time, Grandma Sha regarded him as a "bad son" who came to collect debts.
The little old woman threw the bamboo basket in her hand far away, muttering something, and the bamboo basket flew towards them, spinning and getting bigger and bigger. It soon passed Chen Shi, Minjiang Grandma and others, and met the magic of the Gongzhou official who was rolling in from behind!
"Shhhhhh!"
One magical power after another was collected into the bamboo basket, causing the basket to grow larger and smaller. When the last magic power fell into the basket, the bamboo basket spun rapidly, becoming smaller and smaller, and returned to the elbow of Grandma Sha.
"You are so angry, you must have stayed up late many times, right? Can you please give me some face?"
Grandma Sha looked at Fei Tianzheng and others who were flying over, and gently swung the bamboo basket in her hand in the river. The river water then rose into the air, and the water formed eight hexagrams in the air: Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.
The hexagrams of varying lengths were enormous, slowly rotating and spreading out from the surface of the river.
Fei Tianzheng and others were about to pass through, but they saw the hexagram in front of them suddenly change.
Fei Tian was passing through the Kan hexagram. As soon as he passed through this hexagram, he saw surging floods all around, pressing down like a blanket covering the sky and the earth.
He raised his hands to shake the flood and groaned. The flood was heavier than mountains and rivers. With his strength, he was unable to resist it!
Fei Tianzheng simply gave up fighting, and used his physical body to cross the flood. His true energy formed a huge shield, and the surging water immediately submerged him.
He charged into the torrent, but the torrent was endless and he did not know up, down, left, or right.
Xia Chuli entered the Xun Gua and saw a black wind blowing towards him, as if time and space had grown black hair, which almost melted his flesh and bones. He hurriedly summoned his soul, but both he and his soul were blown to the ground and rolled over, unable to keep his body steady.
Yan Jiuling entered the Zhen Gua, but just as he entered the Gua, he saw the heaven and earth suddenly change. Thunders from the sky fell one after another like rain.
He withstood several bolts of lightning but was nearly struck down. Shocked, he quickly grabbed a Ten Thousand Souls Banner and raised it up!
This flag is only one person tall, and the flagpole is not long either. The flag is triangular in shape, with six white ribbons hanging below.
Above the banner are bull horns, symbolizing Tubo, a bull-headed monster in the underworld. The banner has a complex texture, embroidered with a nine-bend Yellow Spring winding down. There is a palace at each bend of the Yellow Spring, representing the Ten Kings of Hell.
The Tenth Palace is at the bottom of the underworld.
As the banner waved, countless huge skulls appeared behind it. Each skull was about five feet tall, covered in blood, and carried magical powers formed by endless resentment.
Yan Jiuling waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with all his might, and countless bloody skulls moved along with the Banner, flying forward and spewing out netherworld magic fire, burning through the Zhen Gua!
A cold laugh was heard, and Fei Tianzheng also waved a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, killing out of the Kan Gua, sneering: "How can I be disrespectful when my life and property are at stake?"
On the other side, Xia Chuli also raised a Ten Thousand Souls Banner and killed the Xun Gua, and Zhang Xun'an also raised a Ten Thousand Souls Banner and killed the Qian Gua.
The four of them each waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, breaking Granny Sha's Bagua Formation, and the figures of Zhang, Xu, Jiang, Zhai and other important officials appeared.
Grandma Sha's heart skipped a beat. Although these people's cultivation was not as good as hers, there were too many of them, and the four Ten Thousand Souls Banners were not easy to deal with.
Gongzhou was poorly governed, and many people died in recent years, causing great resentment. As a result, many people did not return to the underworld after death, but were directly collected in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
There were more and more evil spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and later they devoured each other, making the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner stronger and stronger. In addition, with the day and night sacrifices by the senior officials, the power of this banner has reached the level of a heavy weapon. Of course, it is still far inferior to the Sheep-Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp.
"Old woman, stop meddling in other people's business! Sir Yang, you two go first, we will take care of her!"
At Fei Tianzheng's command, the commander-in-chief Yang Gui, the educational officer Xu Ming and others immediately flew out, passed Granny Sha, and pounced on Chen Shi and others in the distance.
Granny Sha tried to stop everyone. Just as she moved, she saw Ten Thousand Souls Banners being offered up. The four Ten Thousand Souls Banners were floating in the air, and the power of the ghosts was extremely strong!
Granny Sha was furious: "I am a cultivator of the soul, waving the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in front of me is just showing off your proficiency in front of an expert!"
She shouted, and her soul flew out, transforming into an imperial daughter. She suddenly raised her foot and stomped heavily on the water. Suddenly, countless corpses that died in the river emerged from the bottom of the water, and the piles of bones formed a bone altar on the river surface.
A bluestone road was paved, and the river surface changed suddenly, connecting to the underworld.
When this river reaches the underworld, it becomes part of the Forgetful River. The river surface in front of Grandma Sha is the underworld, and the river surface behind her is the world of the living.
The little old woman has one foot in the underworld and the other in the world of the living. She borrows the power of the underworld and her strength increases dramatically!
She was unwilling to set foot in the underworld easily, because she had too many enemies. She interfered with life and death, and had offended countless underworld officials and ghosts and gods. They were keeping an eye on her. As long as she set foot in the underworld, she would be hunted down by the underworld officials and ghosts and gods.
At the moment, she was worried about Chen Shi's safety and couldn't care less about anything else.
Fei Tianzheng, Xia Chuli and others were dragged into the underworld. Their faces suddenly changed. They saw that all the flesh and blood on their bodies had disappeared and turned into a pile of bones.
"We were dragged into the underworld by the old woman!"
Although the four of them were panicking, they still activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Suddenly, the countless blood skeleton magic powers in the banner were grabbed by Grandma Sha and torn away.
The old woman's spirit was like the empress of the underworld, and even the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was unable to defeat it!
At this moment, lights on the surface of the Minjiang River shone towards this side. It turned out that the ghosts nearby realized that their enemy had entered the underworld again and rushed over here.
Granny Sha broke through the siege of the Ten Thousand Souls Banners on all sides, and the basket flew out, knocking Fei Tianzheng to the ground. She kicked Xia Chuli in the heart, and with a touch of her fingertips, she planted a fire lotus on the chest where Zhang Xun was pressing. She spun half a circle, and a sheep-horn sky lamp appeared in her hand.
The little man standing on the sheep's back opened his eyes, and the flames coming out of his crown suddenly expanded. A ray of light with a sinister aura shot out and shone on Yan Jiuling's body with a whoosh.
Yan Jiuling's soul was hit by the light, broke out of his body, flew backwards, and was knocked hundreds of miles away in an instant!
Granny Sha retracted her right foot, and the bluestone road retracted backwards with a rustling sound. The underworld, the Forgotten River, and the ghost messengers who came in the boat all disappeared.
The little old woman, holding a lantern in one hand and a basket in the other, leaped up into the air and flew away.
Fei Tianzheng and four others were left on the Forgetful River in the underworld. They were terrified and wanted to chase after Grandma Sha, but they had no idea where to start.
Yan Jiuling hurriedly recalled his soul, and it flew over here at a rapid speed.
But when the cold wind from the underworld blew, his soul felt chilled and he couldn't help but shiver several times. In an instant, his soul's cultivation was reduced by as much as 10%.
"We are trapped in the underworld!" Fei Tianzheng said with a gloomy face. Before he finished speaking, a gloomy aura suddenly rushed over him, and a sinister voice said, "Your life span is not over yet, why are you barging in? Go back!"
The evil energy pounced on them, and the four of them rolled backwards, unable to stop it.
When the four of them stood firmly, they saw light all around them. It was completely different from the underworld. They had returned to the world of the living!
They regained their flesh and blood, and after calming down from the shock, they hurriedly chased in the direction Chen Shi and others had left.
At this moment, the four people suddenly felt a light shining from the darkness onto their souls, illuminating their three souls and seven spirits.
"There's still half an hour left."
In the underworld, a sinister voice echoed over the Forgotten River, "I will come to take you away..."
Minjiang Grandma carried Chen Shi all the way and rushed into Gongzhou City. From behind, nine senior officials including the commander-in-chief Yang Gui and the educational officer Xu Ming rushed over aggressively. Everyone chased into the city. Suddenly, a big flesh-red rabbit leaped up and rushed to the riverside, intending to rescue Chen Shi and others.
Upon seeing this, the garrison eunuch Cen Xuefu immediately jumped up and intercepted the majestic rabbit halfway.
He was so powerful that he knocked the majestic rabbit down with just a wave of his hand.
The two landed on the ground, and the Minjiang River was just a few dozen steps away. Eunuch Cen blocked the majestic rabbit's way to the Minjiang River and shouted in a low voice: "Yutian City, stop!"
The majestic rabbit stopped immediately, wondering: "Master Cen, do you recognize me?"
"Even if you turned into ashes, we would still recognize you!"
Eunuch Cen pulled him aside and said quickly, "Now the lords have to clear the place, leaving behind a good reputation for fighting the demons. You and Hongshan Hall are their stains, and must be eradicated. We will give you a chance to live, so leave quickly! Go as far as you can, and never return to Gongzhou again!"
The majestic rabbit was Yu Tiancheng. Upon hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Cen, but I can't leave! I have to take my brothers with me! And I want to take Queen Hongshan with me too!"
Eunuch Cen kicked him over and said angrily, "Fuck you, this is not the time to talk about loyalty! Don't let me see you again, otherwise my family will not talk about friendship, and will kill you if necessary!"
He cursed and flew away, gritting his teeth and saying, "If I don't go along with them, I'll die! Don't follow me!"
Yu Tiancheng stood up, rushed out of the ruins, and struggled to catch up.
Just as Yang Du, the commander, and his companions were about to catch up with Min Jiang Po Po, Qing Yang suddenly rushed out from the side and bumped into Ma Weigong, knocking him over and over, and crashing into a house on the other side of the river bank, raising a cloud of dust and broken bricks and tiles.
The Green Sheep Man stood up, his body as fast as the wind, and swung his claws to attack Cui Yongzhi, Gu Ping'an and others. Everyone shouted, "Work together to capture this sheep!"
Qingyang was in high spirits of killing. A pair of long horns flew out from his head, like two scimitars, spinning and dancing, slashing at the nine people repeatedly!
On the other side, a bearded man walked over from the river surface. Nine fox tails reaching into the sky appeared in the void behind him. They swayed slightly, cutting the Minjiang River in half, forming a natural moat that protected Minjiang Grandma, Hongshan Goddess and others.
Granny Sha also caught up at this time. Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Finally we arrived in time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the bearded man behind her and asked in surprise, "Xiaoliang, where is Xiaoshi?"
The bearded man laughed and said, "It's on the back of the black carp dragon..."
He turned his head and was shocked to see that there were only Hongshan Niangniang, Hei Guo and Li Tianqing on the back of Minjiang Grandma, but Chen Shi was nowhere to be seen!
The bearded man's forehead was covered with sweat. "It was clearly there just now!"
In just a blink of an eye, Chen Shi disappeared!
Granny Sha raised her foot and stomped it hard. She made a sword finger with her hand, pointed it out, and shouted, "Chase the soul!"
A stream of green smoke shot out from the sky like a sharp arrow, chasing after Chen Shi's soul!
Granny Sha flew up to catch up with the green smoke and shouted, "Qingyang, come and stop them! Xiaoliang, follow me! They can snatch someone right under your nose and hide it from you. I may not be able to deal with them!"
Qing Yang smiled and said, "Leave it to me, don't worry!"
Before he finished speaking, Fei Tianzheng and four others arrived here with four Ten Thousand Souls Banners.
Qing Yang's heart skipped a beat: "It seems the old woman has given me a desperate task..."
He roared angrily and revealed his true form. A giant sheep as big as a mountain with lumps of flesh all over its body. It stood up, with white light emitting from its eyes and golden fire coming out of its nose. It stood in the Minjiang River, with the water just covering its hooves.
"Come on! Fight with your Grandpa Qing!"
He rushed towards the thirteen officials.
Granny Sha and Hu Xiaoliang quickly followed the smoke, one in front and one behind. They saw the smoke swirling around in Gongzhou City. It was obvious that the man who kidnapped Chen Shi was hiding in the city to avoid them.
"Who kidnapped Xiao Shi?"
Suddenly, the sound of swords was heard, and the two swords, Shrike and Slender, caught up with the two men. Hu Xiaoliang was about to knock them down, but Granny Sha shook her head and said, "It was Xiao Wangsun, he meant no harm."
The bearded man Hu Xiaoliang looked over and saw Xiao Wangsun, wearing a brocade robe inside and a purple robe outside, with a purple gold crown on his head, leaping like the wind, and following them.
Xiao Wangsun also had a close relationship with Chen Shi. When he saw Chen Shi in distress, he immediately came to rescue him.
At this moment, the green smoke in front suddenly stopped, and then dissipated with a snap.
Granny Sha stopped and froze on the spot.
The bearded man urged, "Granny, hurry up and chase after him!"
Granny Sha showed fear on her face and murmured, "Dead, dead... Xiao Shi is dead!"
The old beggar was escaping quickly in the city with Chen Shi. Just now, he quietly made a move and captured Chen Shi with a flick of his bamboo stick. Unexpectedly, Granny Sha's reaction was too fast and he had no time to escape.
"My dear scholar, the old woman is chasing you so hard, she must have locked onto your soul. I, an old beggar, don't want to be caught up by them."
The old beggar laughed, suddenly pointed a finger at Chen Shi's forehead and said with a smile, "So, you'd better die."
Chen Shi was about to speak when suddenly his vision went dark and he fell on his back.
The old beggar's magic power surged, and he stood up, saying: "What I want is your immortal body that has been refined by water and fire, not your soul. Only Chen Yindu cares about the life and death of his grandson, I don't care."
At this moment, Chen Shi, who had died, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him strangely.
The old beggar was stunned and asked in confusion: "With this finger of mine, even a Yangshen master who can kill three corpses would be crippled if not killed. Why can't I kill you?"
He was about to attack again when he saw "Chen Shi" laughing.
"The host is dead?"
"Host?" The old beggar didn't understand what he meant.
"Chen Shi" stretched his body, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
"So, this body...can't trap me anymore?!"
The old beggar was about to speak when suddenly "Chen Shi" grabbed his neck.
"Crack!"
His neck was broken and his head was tilted to one side!
"Every time I try to come out, that old guy always beats me back! This time, let's see who dares—"
"Chen Shi" roared towards the sky, and the demonic energy around his body gushed out. In an instant, the sky suddenly darkened, and the area within a hundred miles turned into a demonic domain!
