Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 601 Imperial Decree Corpse
"Sure enough, when old people get old, their children and grandchildren are not filial..."
"..."
"?"
They felt that their serious analysis was a bit off, but they couldn't care less now. They hugged the Executioner's Blade tightly, patiently waiting for the experts around them to take action.
He was just a Second Prefecture Gatekeeper. Encountering such an evil thing, he shouldn't be the one to take the lead, right?
Unexpectedly, the reincarnators around him seemed to have the same idea. One after another, they all wore solemn expressions, but none of them made a move. Only when the atmosphere became a little awkward did someone suddenly pick up a stone from the ground and throw it far away.
"Thud!"
The stone fell into the well, making a dull sound. All the reincarnators present took a step back, their expressions even more vigilant.
But seeing that well with extremely strange aura did not make any movement. The wind in the small courtyard disappeared all of a sudden, only the cold gasping still echoing. Immediately, something slowly began to emerge from the well.
"That is..."
At a glance, everyone was shocked at the same time. What they saw first was a pair of...
...dragon horns!
No one had ever seen a real dragon, but the pair of horns would instantly make people think of that kind of creature. They were about a zha (measurement of length) long, branching like deer antlers. Following the pair of dragon horns, what came out of the well was a head covered with purple scales.
However, these scales were not bright and divine, but mottled and scattered, like a fish that had been dead for several months, with most of its scales falling off, filthy and rotten.
Even the smell was like a dead fish. As it crawled out of the well, the strong fishy stench hit their noses.
"Clang, clang..."
Immediately afterwards, the thing had completely emerged from the well. Everyone's expressions were extremely strange: "What is this thing?"
They clearly knew that the thing inside was the old master Yan, but it was really hard to associate it with a human being. Not only did it have crooked dragon horns on its head, but it was also wearing a tattered, filthy dragon robe.
Its body was stiff, its hands and feet had become twisted, its long fingernails were black and grotesque, curled into rolls, and its body was wrapped in thick iron chains, but they were all broken, leaving only half of them.
It looked like a living thing, but its eyes seemed to be empty, and the dark eye sockets stared at everyone.
"Buried alive?"
Also at the same time as seeing this thing, the Ghost Chaser with a pig mask on his face, who had reminded everyone earlier, said in a low voice, "Be careful!"
"The Yan family is really audacious. I heard that the old master Yan was trying to extend his life and stubbornly refused to die, but in reality, the Yan family's descendants were too ambitious and regarded him as a monster to refine."
"These noble lords, treating illnesses and extending their lives, is common, but for someone like him who is so close to the emperor's fate, every year of extension is extremely difficult."
"Perhaps the old master Yan really wanted to extend his life when he was truly alive, and even fantasized about becoming an emperor, but when he approached his end, every day he lived was torment. Instead, the Yan family's children and grandchildren didn't want him to die, so they buried him alive here."
"Using this method to nurture imperial aura, it's no wonder the Yan family is so powerful now, not only surpassing the other two major families in Guazhou, but even after the Iron Threshold General was granted the title of king, they can still suppress him and treat him like a running dog..."
"But the old master Yan has suffered a great crime and has now become a demon, or rather..."
He paused before speaking in a stern voice, full of dread, "A zombie, a zombie that has become an elite!"
"When a mortal becomes a corpse, resentment arises, and swords and weapons cannot harm it."
"When a general becomes a corpse, baleful aura surges, and blood energy soars to the sky."
"And this damn thing, it's like the corpse of an emperor has been reanimated, this is...over the line!"
"..."
"..."
The people next to him turned pale, and even Hu Ma thought, "What that guy said was actually true..."
"...the Yan family's children and grandchildren are indeed unfilial!"
"Clang..."
At that moment, the thing crawled out of the well, suddenly raised its head, its chest heaving violently. The billowing smoke and purple air that filled the small courtyard was like a whale absorbing water, swallowed by it in one gulp.
In the next moment, a crazy and bizarre expression suddenly appeared on the face covered with purple scales. It suddenly faced the crowd and abruptly spewed out a stream of corpse gas.
Whoosh!
Rolling and surging, a misty and chaotic aura suddenly spewed out of its mouth, from left to right, like a hurricane.
Hu Ma had been prepared. When the old monster sucked up all the misty smoke in the courtyard in one breath, he was already prepared. He suddenly faced the corpse gas that was spewing over, but his heart was still confused, and he secretly cried out that it was not good.
He only felt that this aura was extremely heavy, and the key was the sense of superiority. Although it was very strange, it really contained some kind of supreme imperial aura, which actually suppressed people's souls so that they couldn't move, as if they were blown away by the wind.
He hurriedly condensed the Great Mighty Heavenly Duke General Seal Dharma Image. This Dharma Image called upon gods and scolded ghosts, and was not suppressed, which allowed him to gain an advantage and barely stand firm.
But the group of Ghost Chasers were all shocked. In an instant, they were blown around by the wind, scattered in a mess, and Hu Ma was dumbfounded: "I really thought these guys didn't want to leave because they had the ability to cross the bridge or fight with the people on the bridge."
"It turns out they're just stubborn, regardless of whether they can win or not, they have to stay and watch the excitement?"
"..."
However, in reality, this group of reincarnators each had their own unique skills. It wasn't that they all couldn't withstand a single blow and were blown to the ground. It was just that some people were not good at head-on confrontation, and some people took the opportunity to avoid it.
Some people had clearly prepared their defensive skills, but were broken by the imperial pressure contained in this mouthful of corpse gas. But in any case, on the surface, they did look very embarrassed.
After a burst of corpse gas was spewed out, only three people were still standing in the field.
Besides Hu Ma, who stood firm with the Great Mighty Heavenly Duke General Seal, the other two were the one wearing a pig mask who revealed the details of the Dragon Transformation Well, and the other was the one wearing a dog mask, but it was not yet known what his special skills were.
Before he could think too much about it, and because the three of them were standing, the Yan family old master, who had crawled out of the well, had surging corpse energy. The chains wrapped around his body actually seemed to come alive.
Like pythons, they instantly lashed out at him and the other two reincarnators. Seeing a dark blur in front of him, Hu Ma hurriedly raised the Executioner's Blade to block.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
Several dull and crisp sounds rang out, and Hu Ma only felt his arms go numb, and the knife in his hand almost flew out.
The force of this thing was far beyond imagination.
He didn't have time to think about it. After blocking the iron chain, he immediately blew on a black bone, and a surge of baleful aura rushed out, but when it hit the old monster's body, it didn't have any effect at all. Instead, it caused it to pounce straight forward, revealing its black claws.
"Thwack!"
But at the same time, the two with the dog mask and the pig mask stepped forward from the left and right and took it on.
"Damn it, dare to spray me?"
At this moment, the group of reincarnators who had been knocked down by the corpse gas were all furious. Some people hurriedly got up from the ground and patted the dirt off their butts. They were obviously really angry at this moment.
If it were at ordinary times, in a place where no one was paying attention, they would just suffer a loss. Encountering such a thing and being blown into a butt-first fall was reasonable, but that wouldn't do now. There were so many fellow villagers watching, who didn't want to save face?
With a shout, one of them took out a scarecrow from beside him and slammed it hard on the ground.
Seeing his appearance, the reincarnators next to him hurriedly stepped aside, thinking that this fellow villager was going to use some powerful move.
But unexpectedly, this person threw the scarecrow on the ground, and then pulled out the ends of several red ropes from inside the straw, and quickly threw them at the people next to him. Immediately, some of them had their arms, some their thighs, and some their wrists wrapped around.
Then he pointed forward and shouted, "Brothers, let's go!"
"Don't worry, no matter how powerful this thing is, I have this treasure to help you carry it..."
"Even if your heads are twisted off by it, it will definitely not hurt you..."
"..."
The people next to him were immediately annoyed: "Damn, you're shouting so fiercely, but you want us to go up?"
"What if your broken scarecrow can't hold on?"
"..."
The man immediately looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, "If it can't hold on, then it's your heads that will fall off."
The reincarnators next to him were immediately annoyed: "Then who the hell can go up?"
They were really frightened by this strange thing, and none of them dared to get close to fight it, only chanting spells from afar.
On the other side, the ones who were really fighting with this old master Yan were Hu Ma and the other two reincarnators. The one wearing a dog mask, wearing a long shirt and quite tall, rushed in front of the old master Yan in one step.
Facing the rolling iron chains that were lashing at him, and the black fingernails that were suddenly stretched straight, he took a deep breath, suddenly raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand, pressed them against his forehead, and then stomped his feet hard, and the ground trembled.
"Whoosh!"
A sacred and heavy aura rose from his body in an instant, the aura of incense coiled around his body, and his whole temperament changed greatly. He actually faced the ferocious and terrifying old master Yan head-on, spreading his hands and feet and colliding with him.
"This person is a Spirit Bearer?"
Hu Ma, who was watching from the side, was also a little surprised: "He used the method of inviting a god to possess his body, but his Spirit Bearing has such a vast divine intent, unlike the Meng family's evil ways?"
But after turning his head for a moment, he suddenly understood: "That's right, this person is a Spirit Bearer, but he bears a Hall God!"
"He burns incense to the Hall God, and his skills are far from comparable to ordinary Spirit Bearers."
"But those Hall Gods are far from comparable to the Prefecture Lord. Each of them is mysterious and has not shown their faces for a long time. How did a reincarnator get close to the Hall God?"
