That last statement from Bai Ying basically the biggest surprised that make all faces in the room change into different sorts of shock. Seeing their faces, Bai Ying sure is satisfied with his own self. Talk about vanity.
"Old man, do you hear that ? Do you hear what that wicked old corpses is saying. You are harming your own great grandson, Cheng Jiayi is your great grandson," Fushe truly hope that Rui Gang can really listened to all that been sprout by the wicked Bai Ying. This old man life is truly pure tragedy that would make even the most tragic drama pale in comparison. Rui Gang had led his life in duplicitous and be the devil advocate himself without his own knowledge. Not only he was used as a puppet, but he also killed his entire family and now would help the wicked person who reduce his life into heartbreak to resurrect his evil Ghost King into the body of his own blood. This is a whole another level of disastrous fate could ever happen to a person.
Rui Gang hand that holding Cheng Jiayi trembled as he try to resist the effect of the mind manipulation been cast upon him. There are a deep level of fury exist within him and he wish, truly wish that he could do something.
"Bai Ying you are so despicable, you deserve to die and languished in the deepest level of hell," master Hui Cheng fury sure are at maximum level as he basically sound similar to Tantai Ying rogue speech rather his usual benevolent Buddhist discourse. But no one would blame or find the monk wrong, in this condition no one would be able to hold their own rage toward the decrepit old man that act like he is the king of the world.
"He he he, well I find it quite astute that a family who was the main culprit in my King destruction would be the main reason why he would be resurrected. The same weapon that once incapacitate him would now become the weapon that would revive him. Talk about being irony," Bai Ying sure find everything that has occur as pleasing to his monstrous heart. His words get sharp glare as a reaction.
"Humm !" Bai Ying suddenly rise from his seat and with a swift movement he has moves toward Rui Gang and chokes his neck with his withered hand, but it seems like steel enclosed Rui Gang neck. Those in the room surprise with this sudden action.
"You really are a great cultivator Rui Gang. Among all my puppet, it is only you who has always try to break the puppet ties in your mind," Bai Ying said with a smile that don't even reach his eyes. His hold on the neck tightened and everyone can see Rui Gang struggle to breath. The cultivators in the room look one another in the eyes, and with a signal from You Qianzhi, they all sprang into action without a doubt. Yang Yulin held his nephew to ensure he does not involve in the fray.
Yang Hong sword produce a glare so bright that he focused on Bai Ying back. You Qianzhi wick lamps is an heirloom weapon, nonetheless, this old Daoist weapon is strings make from spider silk that so sharp it can cut a piece of hair into two half. Ten darts appear out of nowhere and everyone in the room know, that darts are cover with poison that can lead to fatality within seconds in contact. Li Tai saber released a massive amount of energy that would crush someone bone like it just a piece of biscuit. Tantai Ying summon two of his general level ghost corpses and manipulate it to attack the wicked old man that he detest his whole being. This Bai Ying is truly evil, and he deserves to die.
Master Hui Cheng push the staff he hold, and the sound of the metal ring rattle resounded throughout the ward. The abbot start reciting mantra that make him shine and create a protective barrier between Bai Ying and Rui Gang which still holding Cheng Jiayi tightly despite he was choked by Bai Ying.
Feeling the heat of the Buddhist karmic law touching his skin, Bai Ying turn his head and watched these old rats that scurrying with their abysmal attack to defeat him. He give a maniacal laugh that do not bode well for them.
"Ha ha ha ha ha."
The laugh is not just a laugh but an attack that directed to one mentality. With one hand still choking Rui Gang, he release a ball of energy that encounter the attack toward him. You can say this wicked old man sure are proficient in fighting even when facing such a large number disadvantage, he still be able to neutralise their attack and did it without losing a single breath.
"All of you couldn't wait to die and I truly wish I can just finished every single one of you. But my King will return, and I think he deserves his revenges to kill the descendants of men that has destroyed his body and dispersed his soul," Bai Ying remarks with eerie smile while watching their shock faces as none of their attack that cause him harm.
However, during this moment someone appear in front of him and give a punch to the withered old face without mercy. The punch is so strong it make Bai Ying stumble backward and his choke on Rui Gang release. Yang Guang pull a dagger that he place within his jacket and cut his hand before launched a second attack toward the old man who could not believe that someone is basically using brute attack to harm him.
"Guang Er," Yang Hong almost have a heart attack to see this, and he turn to see his second son that also appear surprised. This grandson of his, he would be the reason of his death soon enough.
"Hurry up, lets help that young Yang, Yang Hong, finally your Yang family produce a descendant that is worthy of your family legacy," Tantai Ying remarks as he jump into the fray between Yang Guang and Bai Ying. That young man sure are dare devil and bold.
Yang Guang on the other hand pull Bai Ying arm and he smeared the red blood from the cut on his hand. This blood full of his Yang essence and as soon as that blood seep into the clothes, it cause the old man screamed in pain. Bai Ying stare at Yang Guang with full of hatred but Yang Guang does not bother to care about that old man, his feet already make a sharp kick to his stomach and Bai Ying like a kite that break from its' thread fly several meter away.
Tantai Ying cringe seeing the young man action toward such a decrepit old man that age perhaps more than 200 years old. Even other could not help but swallow their saliva seen this young man fierce and ruthless attack. Yang Guang hurried back toward Cheng Jiayi and take the whimpering teen from Rui Gang arm. He clearly still try to fight the hold that Bai Ying have on him.
Cheng Jiayi sure are in the world of pain. Something in his body make him cannot stop shivering. The pain, the coldness, and he trap in the sea of blood with tens of thousands of soul calling to him and asked for release.
"Master, he does not look good. What can we do, master. The Gu it is almost hatched, if it hatched it would possess Cheng Jiayi body and make it ready for the Ghost King," Fushe do not cease his babbling while seeing his master carry the delirious Cheng Jiayi toward the bed while try not to aggravate the injury he already suffer. The blood cause by the Yin dagger still soaking his cloth and he look even paler than the time he first submitted to hospital.
"Master Mu," Yang Guang turn toward the wunuo shaman that have already hurried to their side. Anyway, this is more of his expertise. He carefully look at swollen area that was penetrated with Yin dagger and the cold dagger still release a cold Yin energy continuously toward the Gu King. A frown directly mar his face as he hiss when he touch the Yin dagger.
"This is worse, this Yin dagger, it keep feeding the Gu King with Yin energy to make it hatch but I am surprised that it still not hatching even with the amount of Yin energy Cheng Jiayi also has," Mu Ying said. He pull the button of vest he wear upon his Tang suit and from it, he pull a bamboo tube. Before he can proceed anything, a crash sound can be heard.
Yang Guang turn around and he bit his lips with resentment. "Master continue the treatment," he remarks before he pull his dagger once again. He deepened the cut he already done and start write a protective circle charm around the hospital bed with his own blood. Fushe now bite his own finger seen his master action.
"Master, stop this. It will harm your foundation if you continue using your own blood essence," he remarks with exasperation. Yang Guang does not make a sound but continue writing the protective circle until it finished, and a spark of light appear.
Mu Ying is basically surprised to see the flare of the protective circle which transcribe by Yang Guang, and he look at the young man with solemn eyes. Yang Guang look at him and then to Cheng Jiayi, "Master Mu I hope you can help remove the Gu King from his body," he remarks. The wunuo shaman look at him then he nodded before starting chanting something in the olden language of Hmong.
Yang Guang turn and take notice the battle between Bai Ying and the other master cultivator. He has expense his own Yang blood essence to cause damage to the protection charm the old man wear throughout his body and due to that he start receiving the backlash from natural world that would always repel unnatural creature such as Bai Ying. He defied old age and death by using cheat and life of innocents. That is what now tormenting him.
Bai Ying wipe the blood that trickle from his mouth and he look at each of the cultivators with hatred.
"Do you think you guys have winning ha ha ha," Bai Ying laugh hysterically at the end of his word. Just as how sudden he begin his laugh, just like that he stop it and look at them with abhorrence before he pull something out of his cloth. It is a small xun. Seeing that wind music instrument he take out, there is an incredulity in their eyes. But someone face directly change.
"Hurry up, stop him. Don't let him blow that xun," Yang Hong remarks sharply and they all move all at once, but Bai Ying only smile as he start blowing the xun with specific rhythm that enchanting but at the same time make you feel deride from inside.
In this moment, outside where cultivator still stand guarding and manage the effect of intense Yin energy release before, all feel silent when they heard the single sound of that xun blow.
"Argh," the wandering cultivator could not believe, the Daoist from Baiyun Monastery that speak amicably with him just a few seconds ago would suddenly push a long dagger toward him. He dies before anything. The young Daoist turn and everyone around them look at him in horror. But he seems does not in control, his pair of eyes look in dazed.
These occurs to almost every corner of the protective enchantment. These dazed cultivators suddenly pull out their weapon and attack other. All of the cultivators are totally taken surprise with sudden event. Everyone try to prevent their friends, fellow clan members or recent acquaintances from continue their attack.
Just like that, pandemonium begin.
