Chapter 675: A Cudgel Strikes the Great Ancestor
Chapter 675: A Cudgel Strikes the Great Ancestor
"You..."
It was only when Hu Ma's voice carried the infinite authority of the Evil Suppression Bureau, pressing down on his head, that the Meng family patriarch suddenly reacted. He had been shocked by the appearance of the Hu family here and their collusion with the malevolent spirit.
But at this moment, seeing the Evil Suppression Bureau, he suddenly realized, "Oh no, does this little dog want to..."
"...silence me!"
"..."
In the past, he would never have dared to associate himself with the idea of silencing.
Hu Ma's talk about the Yin Deity Palace and stealing destiny was something he didn't take to heart at all; anyone could spout nonsense like that.
But looking at the Evil Suppression Bureau, with its ominous and heavy gaze fixed on him, and seeing the Golden Armored Warriors marching out from within, his heart truly trembled for the first time.
At this moment, he couldn't suppress the panic in his heart. He suddenly shouted, quickly retreated, and raised the Yin Deity Palace order in his hand, loudly calling for the Palace Deity to intervene.
However, the thirty-six Palace Deities, upon appearing, could even tilt the City of the Wrongly Dead with their presence. Their towering figures were almost as if they reached from the Netherworld to the heavens, but now, facing the Golden Armored Warriors, they suddenly fell silent.
The originally towering figures seemed to shrink as the Golden Armored Warriors approached, as if they were mere shadows. The closer the golden light came, the smaller their forms became.
Even with the Meng family patriarch's stern orders, they fell silent one by one, some slowly lowering their heads, while others quietly sank into the depths of the Netherworld.
At this moment, the Meng family patriarch was terrified, feeling a genuine and profound fear for the first time, as if recalling the fierce battle that shook the Underworld and the mortal realm when the Evil Suppression Bureau was first established.
Seeing the Golden Armored Warriors advancing side by side, their dazzling golden light causing dizziness all around, he couldn't help but cry out, "Great Ancestor, save me!"
"..."
"..."
"Hua!"
At the same time, as Hu Ma summoned the Evil Suppression Bureau, the Meng family's Great Ancestor had gone mad.
He greedily and viciously stared at Dragon Well Master's Life Spirit Temple, countless tendrils hanging down, frantically infiltrating the temple, only to find it empty, devoid of what he sought. He had been tricked.
This caused him to fly into a rage, his fury rolling forth as he quickly approached, intending to devour the malevolent spirit and its Life Spirit Temple.
This had happened just moments ago. Faced with its ferocity, Dragon Well Master showed no resistance, but the appearance of the Evil Suppression Bureau suddenly caught its attention. At the same time, Dragon Well Master turned to look at the Evil Suppression Bureau.
"Is this how it is?"
Dragon Well Master gazed at the Evil Suppression Bureau, his eyes clear and slightly surprised, as if suddenly understanding something, and his heart felt a sudden clarity.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Even the existence in the old pond has fallen into our hands?"
"So that's how it is, worthy of the Old Lord's brows..."
Boom!
It was precisely because the appearance of the Evil Suppression Bureau instantly attracted the attention of the Meng family's Great Ancestor. Now, with the Golden Armored Warriors focusing on him, the Meng family patriarch, who had urgently shouted out the Meng family's ultimate skill, was finally saved by the Great Ancestor...
Or perhaps it was the Great Ancestor, upon seeing the Evil Suppression Bureau, whose innate anger and ferocity surpassed even its desire for Dragon Well Master.
Suddenly, countless blood-colored tendrils, one after another, surged towards the Evil Suppression Bureau. Upon closer inspection, they were arms, not only piercing through the countless Golden Armored Warriors but also reaching towards Hu Ma on the high platform.
Even within the Evil Suppression Bureau, Hu Ma felt the indescribable sinister aura and the almost irresistible pressure.
It was as if, in front of the Meng family's Great Ancestor, even the Evil Suppression Bureau couldn't provide him with a sense of security. However, he was also well aware of the urgency of the situation, knowing that this encounter was inevitable, so he hardened his resolve, abruptly rose with his cudgel, and shouted,
"Before the Evil Suppression Bureau, what demon dares to run amok?"
"..."
With his shout, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble. The Golden Armored Codex on the table seemed to be stirred by the wind, flipping noisily, and the awakened Golden Armored Warriors within the Evil Suppression Bureau marched in unison, their eyes gleaming with golden light, their divine might shaking the heavens. They raised their spears and let out a deafening roar.
These Golden Armored Warriors, except for the two who had been awake from the start, seemingly guarding the Evil Suppression Bureau, were all in a state of slumber.
When Hu Ma opened the Evil Suppression Bureau, he had also awakened some of them, but now, for the first time, he fully opened the Golden Armored Codex, awakening all one hundred and eight Golden Armored Warriors within the Bureau, shaking off their divine might.
The mere power of their awakening caused the Netherworld to tremble.
The next moment, the tendrils the Meng family's Great Ancestor extended towards the Evil Suppression Bureau shattered and disappeared into nothingness, while the Golden Armored Warriors, with their spears and roars, pushed back the Meng family's Great Ancestor, who was hidden in the layers of void.
The entity, naturally more furious, with a sullen face, revealed a clear and genuine anger. After taking a slight step back, it became even more ferocious, as if it was about to pounce directly towards the Evil Suppression Bureau.
"Take my cudgel!"
Facing the wrath of the Master Meng, Hu Ma's heart also sank, filled with an intangible sense of panic that seemed to engulf him from above.
It seemed that just staring directly at the other party would cause one's soul to scatter and one's physical body to crumble. Countless sinister and bizarre entities rapidly surged into his body, almost instantly assimilating him.
Even before entering the Netherworld, he had been warned not to stare directly at other ghosts in the Netherworld. When one does, the memories and perceptions of the ghost's previous life would flood into one's body. The longer one stares, the easier it is to be assimilated.
Now, facing Master Meng, this feeling was magnified a millionfold.
But what of it?
Having started, he would see it through. Since he had already raised the cudgel, he might as well be more assertive. Instead, he plucked up his courage and mustered his energy, swinging the cudgel directly towards the direction where Master Meng had appeared.
The Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel was short, and Hu Ma, being inside the Evil Suppression Bureau, was at least a thousand li away from Master Meng, with the height difference being immeasurable.
But now, in the Netherworld, Hu Ma, borrowing the might of the Evil Suppression Bureau, took the cudgel and aimed to strike it on Master Meng's head.
However, given the distance and disparity, the weight of the Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel had never been as heavy as it was at this moment. Hu Ma mustered all his strength, barely managing to lift it, his body and soul almost collapsing under the immense weight.
Fortunately, he had just consumed the Purple Great Guardian, making him much sturdier than before. With this, he managed to swing the cudgel.
Immediately after, something beyond anyone's imagination happened, as if a dream-like scene unfolded.
The nine-ring copper chain of the Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel gradually moved, emitting a long, leisurely hum. The sound of the iron rings clinking together seemed to echo back and forth within the City of the Wrongly Dead, not fading but growing louder.
Certain entities within the City of the Wrongly Dead seemed to merge with the deep hum of the Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel. As the cudgel was swung, it seemed to awaken some power that had been dormant for hundreds or even thousands of years, a power that hadn't been activated even when striking the Governor of Guanzhou.
Facing the sinister and evil gaze of Master Meng, the cudgel began to radiate infinite golden light, dispelling the ghostly mist that had shrouded the City of the Wrongly Dead for countless years.
It was as if the rust on the Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel was being washed away, revealing its most original and true form.
"Huff..."
Deep within the City of the Wrongly Dead, a low, flowing breath emerged. Some long-buried entities, affected by the aura of the Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel, had their flesh and blood decayed, leaving only the skeletal skulls. Under the golden light, their shadows became visible.
From a distance, the golden light from the cudgel seemed to enter their eye sockets, as if they too had regained their vitality. Quietly observing Hu Ma's Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel, they caused the cudgel's golden light to roar and its weight to suddenly increase.
Hu Ma never expected this change; he only felt that the Evil Suppression Golden Cudgel suddenly gained the power to wither the old and destroy the new, striking towards the Nine Heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Layer upon layer of strange, piercing sounds, as if something heavy was being torn apart, rang out beneath the cudgel. It was as if layers of dark clouds were breaking apart, rippling in circles beneath the cudgel.
The entire Netherworld violently shook with the swing of the cudgel. The golden light pierced through the heavens and earth, and Hu Ma's cudgel truly and solidly struck Master Meng's head without holding back.
"Dong!"
Master Meng's ashen and gloomy face seemed to be struck with a sense of astonishment. The terror within him intensified, forcing him to retract his aura, and he even seemed to be stunned for a moment.
The four corners of the world instantly became quiet, with no movement for a long time.
The Meng Family Patriarch, who had just been shouting for the Great Ancestor to save him, now stood frozen, eyes wide open, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Old... Great Ancestor, you've been struck?"
On the stone platform, Second Pot had a wooden expression, gripping his thigh tightly and pinching it. "What kind of illusion is this? It's so powerful! It can't be real; such an absurd thing couldn't possibly happen. It's all fake... fake..."
"Before I leave, I get to witness this grand spectacle. It's worth it, worth it..."
At this moment, when everything was silent, on the stone platform, Dragon Well Master burst into laughter. He turned towards the Evil Suppression Bureau and the golden armored deities within, nodding slightly. The last of his regrets finally dissipated at this moment.
"It turns out that we have all become aware of our past mistakes, and not for a moment have we been idle..."
"The Ten Surnames have made great progress, and so have we."
"In this world, those who can truly be called deities, though their endings were tragic and their paths twisted, have finally been returned to their rightful places..."
