Chapter 399: Witchcraft Demon
Chapter 399: Witchcraft Demon
Even the ancestors of the sorcerers pass away, but unlike the Great Sheep Village of the Old Fire Pit, they do not receive incense fire from their ancestors.
According to their customs, their ancestors are also sacrificed to the bugs.
Now, as this group of sorcerers kneel and pray silently, the ancestors who have passed away generation after generation are summoned, forming an ancient and bizarre custom.
It was this realization that made Hu Ma collect the black bones, which are naturally powerful, but the Five Stars Gods have already been beheaded. Although his position remains, his spirituality is gone.
Using the malevolent aura within these bones, Hu Ma can scare away the esteemed guests in the hall, but not those outside.
Through generations of worship and their devout hearts, the sorcerers have offered the divine souls of their ancestors as sacrifices to the poison bugs, creating something powerful and terrifying. Hu Ma can only describe this thing as an evil deity, as he has no other words for it.
He recalled the reminder given to him by Erguotou before coming to the Blood Meat Mine. The esteemed guests in the hall are indeed formidable, with their own hierarchy of cases, platforms, mansions, and palaces. However, the unsealed malevolent spirits in the countryside also have their own ranks and distinctions.
Wandering filth, malevolent spirits, evil beings, and self-proclaimed deities!
These sorcerers have clearly reached this point due to their devotion and generations of worship, creating a terrifying existence beyond malevolent spirits and possessing mysterious powers. Perhaps even higher?
In simple terms, this thing is a bizarre combination of witchcraft and the Old Fire Pit's two forms.
"This damn thing, was Monkey Wine's original purpose to kill this?"
Hu Ma was secretly shocked. He didn't feel it earlier, but now he realizes that Monkey Wine, this dog thing, has the guts to do it...
How can this thing be fought? He glanced at the entering Mr. Sun with his peripheral vision, who was already subconsciously retreating. Although the guests in the hall are powerful, they are now facing something that cannot be measured normally.
Even the strongest among them is just an individual, but the one outside already belongs to the totem of the tribe, and it is impossible to compare it to an individual.
It seems I can't cooperate with Monkey Wine...
According to Monkey Wine's original plan, he wanted to wait until this thing came to the mortal realm and obtained a physical body before killing it. It was just a pipe dream, as even now, it is already terrifying.
As he was thinking, within the valley, the venom bug possessed by the Wugong Clan Leader emitted intermittent cries.
These cries were filled with sorrow and determination, and he knew that they had finally resorted to this last method, and what price the clan would pay for it.
Just as the Dharma King of the One Coin Sect invited the Lotus Mother down from the hall, using himself as a burning candle, these sorcerers are also using this method to invite the "Shaman God" to appear through their worship.
Naturally, no sorcerer's cultivation can compare to the Dharma King, but when all the sorcerers work together, their offering is far greater than that of the Dharma King. The mystic power contained within what they summoned is unimaginably powerful.
However, after this, these sorcerers will likely shorten their lifespans or even die.
But since it has already begun, he issued his final command. The silent worshippers outside the valley simultaneously murmured in a low voice, as if praying in a mysterious way.
As the prayer enveloped them, the shadows cast upon them became increasingly heavy, already engulfing the entire forest outside.
The massive shadow, becoming denser, transformed into a venom basin. From within this basin, something seemed to slowly crawl out, and as it crawled, its shadow grew, inching towards the valley.
"Sizzling..."
The sound of the thing crawling out alone was enough to make one's heart ache and their body feel suffocated, as if crawling with bugs. Even covering one's ears couldn't block out the sound.
The ever-changing shadows seemed to possess mysterious and bizarre powers, threatening to swallow the entire valley.
The red lantern hanging on the pagoda gate, with its faint light, was no match for the enormous black shadow, and it was about to be completely engulfed in an instant.
"This is bad, run for your lives..."
Inside the valley, Old Abacus was so scared that his goat beard stood on end, exclaiming, "This thing can't be dealt with by a mere person. It requires the personal intervention of a hall deity..."
"Even those who have invited it upon themselves can't withstand it..."
On the other side, Mr. Sun San of Iron Bridge was so frightened that his heart raced, and he immediately thought of fleeing. He searched for an escape route, torn between abandoning the Dharma King and his disciples.
"Huff..."
But at that moment, as Hu Ma gazed at the floating red lantern, he took a deep breath, glanced at Monkey Wine in the valley, and muttered to himself, "You said you wanted to get rid of this thing, and I'll cooperate with you..."
"Just hope you don't let me down, kid..."
"..."
After saying this, he glared fiercely, his three pillars of cultivation focused on the incense burner, his entire body turning deathly pale. A chilling gaze emanated from his eyes as he shouted, "Mr. Sun, come and lend a hand!"
"Eh?"
"Upon hearing his loud shout, Iron Bridge Mr. Sun, who was about to make his escape, was completely stunned. He turned around in surprise and asked, "Who are you calling?"
"Why are you interfering with me?"
"Are you so unreserved with others?"
"..."
"We're both from the Blood Xiu Guardian lineage. There's no distinction between insiders and outsiders here. Everyone in this valley is either our junior brother or our friend. Do you want to stand by and watch them die?"
Hu Ma's stern shout echoed, and at the same time, he faced the profoundly dark and distorted figure in the darkness, a sinister presence. He took a step forward, and as he did, the red lanterns seemed to come to life, casting a mysterious blood-red light.
"Good!"
Mr. Sun was also concerned about his reputation. He liked to emphasize his seniority among the Blood Xiu Guardians. Hearing Hu Ma's words and seeing everyone in the valley turn their eyes towards him, he also let out a stern shout.
At that moment, they were equals, but things were different now, weren't they?
Amid the shouting, he had already rushed forward several steps and stood side by side with Hu Ma, one on the left and the other on the right, outside the pagoda gate.
At the same time, the thing in the venom basin was climbing faster and higher, and its shadow was growing larger as it quickly spread towards the valley.
"Haa!"
Both Hu Ma and Mr. Sun had stepped outside the pagoda gate and stood on either side, facing the invisible yet terrifying black shadow. Suddenly, they both made their moves. One embraced with open arms and bowed forward, while the other struck with a left fist and right palm, creating a powerful impact.
"Huala!"
The Four Ghost Bow Greeting, Mr. Sun's signature skill, was unleashed. Both of them were enveloped in a ghostly aura, like two fierce gate-guarding evil spirits. It seemed as if the pagoda gate had transformed into the Ghost Gate, with swirling malevolent winds surrounding them, temporarily blocking the shadow's advance.
"Sizzling..."
The creature crawling out of the massive black shadow hadn't expected anyone to block its path. The chaotic and eerie sounds became more urgent.
The shadow, like a menacing monster with gaping jaws, was eager to devour the two of them and surge into the valley.
However, the ones blocking its path were none other than two Blood Xiu Guardians who had entered the mansion. Even with their mysterious powers, they could withstand this attack for a moment. By guarding the pagoda gate, they not only prevented the shadow from entering the valley but also kept the red lanterns above from extinguishing.
"Youngster, it's time for you to make your move..."
Mr. Sun knew the pressure he was under. Even as a Blood Xiu Guardian, he had no desire to fight this thing. Out of face, he helped Hu Ma block it for a moment, but he couldn't hold it back for long.
This young Blood Xiu Guardian who had entered the mansion clearly had a significant background. By asking for his assistance, he must be trying to buy some time to use other techniques. Additionally, Mr. Sun couldn't just abandon everyone and flee. So, he reluctantly agreed to help.
However, if the youngster had no other tricks up his sleeve, Mr. Sun would simply let go and return to his alchemy for three to five decades before coming back to face this adversary.
This was his confidence in returning; he would hold it off for a while. After all, if he couldn't stop it, he could always run.
But he hadn't expected that just as he had this thought, Hu Ma, who had bowed deeply to the black shadow, suddenly retreated, leaving Mr. Sun to bear the full pressure.
"?"
Mr. Sun was dumbfounded. "Does this young man have no respect for martial ethics?"
Fortunately, Hu Ma didn't turn and flee. Instead, he took two steps back, drew his jagged blade, and thrust it into the ground, temporarily blocking the shadow with the malevolent qi emanating from the blade.
At the same time, he quickly took seven steps, following the steps described in the Spirit Suppressing Scripture. He extended his hand and shouted, "Summon Sword!"
Little Hong Tang, who was standing by, rushed forward with a redwood sword in her hand. Midway, she turned the sword hilt and handed it to Hu Ma. The next moment, Hu Ma completed his steps and stood in the position he had chosen earlier.
A few days ago, under the pretext of patrolling to guard against sorcerers, he had secretly set up one trap after another and made preparations for the altar, lacking only the final sealing object.
And now, with his entire body transformed into a deathly presence, he himself became the sealing object, completing the final requirement for the altar.
This was the first benefit he received after entering the mansion as a Blood Xiu Guardian. Finally, he had the chance to combine his skills in Blood Xiu and Ghost Summoning.
Standing firmly, the altar was complete. He stared at the enormous, eerie, and mysterious black shadow, holding the redwood sword and pointing it at the red lantern. With a deep voice, he commanded, "Red Lantern Soul Maiden Hanyaojiao, Lady Red Lantern, please cross the bridge of the netherworld!"
"Red Lantern Lady, assist me..."
"..."
But that was just a superficial skill. In secret, he pinched his fingers and stamped his foot, reciting the Year-Guardian Dissolution Charm: "Heaven and Earth, Listen to My Command, Spirits and Ghosts, Do Not Hinder, Divine Light Dissolves All Evil Qi, Bright Sky, Clear World!"
"My Words are My Command, My Command is Law, Swiftly!"
"..."
Finally, Hu Ma had the opportunity to use the 'Dissolve' charm from the four major charms—'Restrain,' 'Shackle,' 'Dissolve,' and 'Kill'—as described in the Seasonal Guardian Scroll.
