Chapter 613: The Reincarnator's Peculiarity
Chapter 613: The Reincarnator's Peculiarity
"Is... Blade Burner?"
Hu Ma was startled by the newcomer's entry into the battle, noticing a thin man wearing an evil ghost mask.
He recognized the man as one of the Anzhou Reincarnators, the organization that Red Wine Miss belonged to.
"Everyone, stop hiding your true abilities..."
After landing a successful strike, the man flipped out of the way, waving his wide sleeves to shake off the corpse qi that clung to him. With a chilling tone, he said, "Do you really think it's that easy to catch a glimpse of the Ten Clans?"
"I won't hide it from you. I was once summoned from my dreams because of my excessive murderous intent. I thought for sure they would notice me, but when I went there, I realized..."
"Hehe, what am I to them?"
"Those summoned are all heavy-handed killers. I couldn't even make it into the top ten. The person next to me at the time held a half-severed executioner's blade, and he had a whole entourage of evil spirits. Whoever was under his blade was decapitated in one stroke. Now that's what you call a God of Slaughter..."
"That's when I understood. If you have the skills, use them. Hiding and holding back will only prevent you from achieving greatness in this lifetime..."
"..."
"The Blood Pool, summoned to be an executioner in my dreams?"
Hu Ma heard this story for the first time, and it piqued his curiosity.
"Wow, the Blood Pool is the Ten Clans' own, which means you've wielded your blade before them?"
"With my soul summoned, I've completely exposed myself to them. How come the Ten Clans didn't uncover your background?"
However, it was clear that this Blade Burner, by demonstrating his skills, had also startled the other reincarnators. After listening to their explanation, Hu Ma understood the Blade Burner's intention behind his actions.
Reincarnators were cautious, not wanting to be seen by the Ten Clans, which was why they dared not step onto the bridge. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare to fully utilize their abilities for fear of being noticed. But this Blade Burner was the exact opposite of what they should be doing.
His abilities weren't that remarkable, but his murderous intent was off the charts. Before even stepping onto the bridge, he had already caught the attention of the Blood Pool, who summoned him to be an executioner. This was as good as directly entering the Ten Clans' inner circle, yet somehow, he hadn't been discovered.
What did this imply? Did it mean that the Ten Clans' discernment wasn't as sharp as they thought?
"I just want to tell you all..."
The Blade Burner spoke with a chilling tone, "In these chaotic times, exceptional individuals emerge in droves. The Ten Clans' absence doesn't mean they understand everything. They're overwhelmed, and many choose to rise during this turmoil, unwilling to listen to or be controlled by them."
"We all have our abilities, but if we continue to hide and reveal ourselves only in glimpses, it's not that we don't want to step onto the bridge, but rather..."
"...we lack the qualifications to do so."
"If we can't handle this old thing, what's the point of discussing grand plans?"
"This gathering is pointless. Take two Blood Nourishing Pills each and return to your hideouts to await your deaths!"
"..."
These words carried a heavy weight, silencing even the group of reincarnators who were here for amusement.
Boom!
Just then, a deafening noise erupted outside the Yan Family Mansion, followed by the sounds of horses neighing and people shouting, as if something chaotic had occurred. Simultaneously, a strong scent of blood filled the air.
The fresh blood smell, mixed with the fear-laden atmosphere, was incredibly invigorating, as if it had dispersed the dark clouds gathering over Guazhou City.
"That is..."
The reincarnators were startled and looked outside.
Even Yan Laotai, who seemed to have lost his sanity, appeared to sense something and paused momentarily.
"Wow..."
One of the reincarnators exclaimed, "Is that thing outside also something you brought?"
"Afraid that we'd be seen and hold back our true abilities, you used this blood aura to block their vision, allowing us to fight without worry?"
"..."
But this question left the Blade Burner dumbfounded. He shook his head, "No... not exactly..."
"Such a strong blood scent, is someone outside on a killing spree?"
"..."
"..."
Amidst the chaos, it was difficult to explain, but everyone could sense the overwhelming killing aura. It was hard to describe the feeling—a scent of blood and a chilling, eerie sensation that could only come from the deaths of hundreds or thousands of people.
Just moments ago, Hu Ma, in his identity as a Ghost Puppet Enforcer, had unleashed a massacre inside the Yan Family Mansion, shocking the reincarnators.
If one were to describe it, it would be like multiplying Hu Ma's blood-soaked rampage by a hundred or two hundred, resulting in the current commotion outside.
Reincarnators feared being seen, but with a blood cloud like this, who could possibly spot them?
"Roar..."
At that moment, Yan Laotai also seemed to be affected by the blood scent, snapping out of his daze. Driven by his frenzied nature, he rushed towards the outside of the Yan Family Mansion.
Even his severed arm, which had been removed, merged into the dark clouds. Soon, black, viscous liquid began to flow from the wound, and a new arm was already forming, intertwining with the writhing mass of rotting flesh.
Hu Ma and Blade Burner met, along with the two masks, Pig Face and Dog Face, as they all rushed forward simultaneously. The four of them grabbed hold of the iron chains, forcibly restraining Yan Family Patriarch.
"Everyone, we can't hide anymore..."
Some people, witnessing the situation, took a deep breath and said, "We've been in the Yan family for long enough..."
"For people like us, this is already taking a huge risk..."
"Don't hide it, show us what you've got!"
"..."
As they spoke, someone took out a fan, one side black and the other white, and with a powerful fan, a gust of wild wind blew, drawing out the Imperial Aura from Yan Family Patriarch's body. Although the process was slow and not very effective, it was still working.
"Alas, there are only two Blood Nourishing Pills, but using this technique will require three pounds to replenish..."
"..."
The Reincarnators nearby, some helpless and some pained, could no longer hold back and joined in to help.
A scene unfolded that surprised Hu Ma, as some took out steel nails, others held green skulls, and some waved banners adorned with various animal bones.
Some had a scroll, and one even had a tile from a grave. Even the Temple Guardian Feng Ling took out a bone umbrella with golden patterns, and like earth rats, they scurried to the left and right, chanting incantations with peculiar expressions and cold eyes.
"What kind of immortal stuff is this?"
"This old dog forcefully prolonged his life, using some method that even he couldn't handle, and now he's brought upon himself something that he can't control..."
"Look at the dark clouds in the sky, that's actually something he should have taken responsibility for, but because he's lived to the end of his Imperial Destiny, he can't contain it, so it's spilling out..."
"With that cloud, this old man is invincible!"
"In that case, let's force it to stop, and then use methods for dealing with zombies on him. First, cut off his head, drain his blood, and then crush his body..."
"For making medicinal ingredients!"
"..."
They acted on their words, and it seemed that Blade Burner's words had spurred them on. Seeing someone being so generous, a mass of blood energy shielded the crowd, and they became even more unrestrained. With fierce voices, various treasures were already in play.
Temple Guardian Feng Ling leaped into the air, and the bone umbrella in his hand suddenly opened, releasing it to spin continuously above Yan Family Patriarch's head, forcefully separating him from the dark cloud.
Yan Family Patriarch seemed to instinctively rage, wanting to charge into the sky, but someone nearby moved swiftly, scattering steel nails one by one, all of which fixed onto the iron chains.
Yan Family Patriarch himself emitted an aura that made all things under heaven lighter, but he was firmly tethered to the ground.
Immediately after, the others rushed forward as well. Someone waved a Soul Summoning Banner, summoning the ancestors of the Yan family to kneel before Yan Laotai. Another untied his belt, binding Yan Laotai like a zongzi. Someone held a file, ready to trim Yan Laotai's toenails...
...
...
"Damn it..."
Hu Ma felt a bit dizzy at this point.
I've been in this world for a while, and with my high status, I've seen many treasures. But in all these years, I've never seen as many as they've brought out in this short time...
Have these people stolen treasures from all the schools of the world?
"Hehe, it seems so..."
Blade Burner, standing nearby, also paused for a moment before whispering to Hu Ma, "Red Wine Miss had guessed it. These guys have plenty of good stuff, but they wouldn't reveal them unless forced."
"..."
Hu Ma's mind raced, and he finally understood. Reincarnators indeed rarely dare to take risks, limited by their circumstances.
However, this doesn't mean they lack abilities.
Precisely because they dare not take risks easily and have an inherent lack of innate security, Reincarnators often have a habit of treasure hunting. Just like Er Goutou, the biggest risk he took in his early life was venturing into Old Yin Mountain to obtain a treasure from Fox Coffin Village.
Other Reincarnators aren't any better.
Each of them has a hoarding habit, loving to collect valuable items for themselves.
With more treasures, they can enhance their abilities, ensuring self-protection, and avoiding the need to show off on the bridge.
This is the path that best suits the needs of Reincarnators...
I had just witnessed these people facing the extremely brutal Yan Family Patriarch, and their abilities seemed inadequate. I was a bit disappointed, thinking that even if they combined their strengths, they would still fall short of the Reincarnators' goals.
Only now do I realize that I haven't fully understood Reincarnators, and it takes someone as experienced as Red Wine Miss to grasp the key...
But who is the one slaughtering outside? They've helped us greatly!
Feeling the startling commotion, I wonder if, as we fight Yan Family Patriarch here, the person outside has already started massacring the city?
