Bai Ying is now heavily trenched with the smell of blood and sacrificial chant that mystically continue even though most of the cultist member was killed one after another by the two executioners in black robes. He alone now continue the frightening mantra while dancing in a kind of abandoned manner. Fushe watching it with some kind of bewitching attitude as the old man circling the stone altar while whispering the mystical mantra.
This seriously a kind of demonic and devilish act that no human shall ever attempt to emulate, think Fushe. Specifically, when Bai Ying start showing non-human feature on his face and the eyes that now turn blood red. The elongated fingernail and sharp fangs start appearing on his physical feature and Bai Ying seems not care about his physical changes. What kind of mantra that this man is basically performed that he slowly losing his human feature. Is this the payment mete out by this sacrificial charm, for the performer of the ritual to slowly succumb to become a beast himself.
Then what is left of him after he resurrect his Ghost King ? Fushe wander, looking at Bai Ying but that old man is too far gone. When he finally finished the ritual dance, the two executioners pull him down, one push the stone dagger into Bai Ying's heart, pulled his pulsating heart out, and the other push the yin dagger deep into his throat. The scream that he want to release disappeared just like that. The two men in the robes look at him with deep smirk then throw his wizened old body among the member of Ghost King loyalist.
Even Fushe is surprised with what suddenly occur. The two persons pull their robes, and Fushe is surprised to see the young faces of these two individuals. One is a man in his early 20s and the other is a young woman that has long illustrious blonde hair that almost look like spurned gold.
Rui Gang shuddered as the effect that Bai Ying have on him disappear but before he could do anything, the man already pull him up like he just a mere doll and throw him toward the death body. The female look at Cheng Jiayi and fondly caress the beautiful fair faces.
"Soon our King shall reborn, soon," she whispered sonorously, and the young man nodded with eyes that shone with unholy red ruby. They both does not seem any better than the wizened Bai Ying, but their action of killing both complicit and the main culprit is a bit of bizarre and it makes Fushe wonder if all the Ghost King follower is basically mentally challenged. I mean if you kill everyone that work for the Ghost King, who will going to serve him after his resurrection. So, it shows how this men and women work for the Ghost King is totally retarded to be honest.
Anyway, it is much better if they are killing one another before even their enemy arrived, it will make the life of other easier, think Fushe. However, before he can start being happy with the current event, the area is suddenly fill with another group of men in robes, but they are robust and with a weird spell they start burning the death body on the sacrificial ground. The dark green fire is nothing to scorned about with how easily they melt the death body. Fushe start feeling nervous once again, specifically seeing that Rui Gang is among those death body.
"Stupid Bai Ying, who would waste a Diyu Gu King only for a rogues Ghost King that has no value whatsoever, this body, this divine physique only suitable for our benevolent and noble King of Yin," remarks the lady with blonde hair.
"He thinks that living in the body of his Ghost King is the stupid Jiang Rui, do he think he can assimilate the noble body of King of Yin, stupid, but thanks to him he bring us the best vessel for our exalted King, my King your time has come," the Lady is not less obsessed than Bai Ying and her eyes bright with unholy red colour. The man by his side smile as they both starting kneeling rapturously and chanting the same mystical mantra, however, the sounds is far more refine and polished.
Fushe has a literal headache when he listened the mantra. Why he feel he shall know this mantra, but he just cannot exactly pinpoint where he have listened to such bloody mystical mantra. He look at the other men in robes, they at some point take over the place of the previous cultist and start chanting the same mantra.
This time the effect is instantaneous. Even Fushe the layman can see the different of the mantra chanting by this group and the one previously led by Bai Ying. Fushe now can be pretty sure, this two groups are together but have totally different aim. The original soul intended for this sacrificial ritual never was the Ghost King from 100 years ago, instead the King of Yin. It surprising Fushe that the King which only exist in myth have such a follower, that adept in masking their identity and in fact backstabbing the person who has working hard for them.
Seriously, that Bai Ying deserves the bad luck he had but these peoples is not any less evil than Bai Ying, they are the original puppet master that ingeniously work behind the shadow. Now, they reap the benefit that Bai Ying has working harder for 100 of years. But still, their aim is to resurrect someone evil into Cheng Jiayi body.
As the mantra reach their zenith, the wind start blowing rampantly, with animal howl incessantly and the entire place seems fell into scarier world of red and greenish light. This is far potent and slowly Fushe can see a black shadow start appearing in front Cheng Jiayi body.
What is that shadow ? Fushe is now start panicking and he look around the place. Looking at Rui Gang that in the dazed. Does this man have his head hit too much that he has lost his lucidity, think Fushe.
The men and women chanting crazily like their life depend on it, and as they sense the present of the black shadow, the woman rise and start dancing like an antiquity shaman, prancing with two pairs of giant feather that she will occasionally hit to Cheng Jiayi body. The young man with her, who held a beating heart taken from Bai Ying, hold it upon Cheng Jiayi lips.
"The blood of loyal retainer, the flesh of enemy, O, bless soul of the King of forgotten people, blessed ye and return to this world unto this vessel, I solemnly prepare for thee."
The young man must be some sort of priest as he utter this word with precision and not even flinched when he cut his own arm, to let the blood from his main artery fell into Cheng Jiayi lips. Fushe could see the black shadow now looming large on top of Cheng Jiayi body and the eye of the shadow is ruby red like blood.
However, it is during this moment that someone appear, and with him the smell of lightning and thunder emanates from his every being. The person standing right in front of the altar and the young man who so engrossed with the ritual, look up with a sharp and murderous eyes.
"You come seek death," he remarks sharply toward the teenager that appear out of nowhere. Yang Guang eyes that now molten gold look at his red blood eyes.
"I come to save my friend," he reply and without a doubt he reach for the young man. The female priest that realise someone has come to disturb the resurrection of their king, growl and lunged toward Yang Guang.
"Continue Lin Jing, I will kill this young charlatan," remarks the woman as she move swiftly, the pair of feathers that seems soft and smooth becoming the sharpest metal when the woman wield it toward Yang Guang. The young man swiftly dodge it and as he care naught of the weapons handle by the woman, he channel a large amount of lightning energy through his finger to the sharp feather weapon.
"Arghhh !" The woman scream as the purple lightning that dance merrily on Yang Guang hand is now attacking her without any mercy. Moreover, as this lightning start pursuing the smell of evil and corruption in her blood.
"Lin Jing," she screamed with frightening voice as she cannot avoid the lightning attack. This lightning is weird that it specifically latched onto the immortal necklace she wear. The origin of her ongoing power and youth is the necklace of King of Yin that have harvested thousands of life. But the lightning going exactly toward the necklace.
The man call Lin Jing only spare her a glance before he is hastening the blood sacrificial ritual. Unworthy woman, she could not even hold a single attack of that young teenager. What used is the King of Yin of such follower. Useless and just full of vanity.
The woman scream as the necklace destroyed by such pure power of lightning that controlled by Yang Guang. Fushe witness this with excitement as he start chanting the sonata of how great his master is. But Yang Guang does not care of it, he turn toward the young man but in that time those men and women in robes start attacking Yang Guang.
They would not allow Yang Guang to stop the sacrificial ritual for their King resurrection. Fushe look at it with nervousness, but Yang Guang sure does not look worried. He moves as swiftly as the wind and dodge the attacked from the robe's men and women. At the same time, his finger swiftly move, and tens of talisman flew out and directly landed in several corner of the sacrificial ground.
Once all the talisman place securely on its designated place, his molten gold eyes shone brightly before he clench his finger and whisper, "Blast !"
The whole place which is under the radius of the blasting charm explode directly and it affected the robes men. Their screaming voice sound so pitifully and their injury come in all sizes. Some is lucky that they only have a small burn injury but there those that even lose large chunk of their skin. Yang Guang, while fighting and blasting the robes men does not forget to rescue the dazed Rui Gang. But he does not have any time to handle the dazed old Daoist, thus, he just throw him out of the sacrificial ground and Fushe can heard the thud sound from where he is floating on the stone altar. That sure would bruise crazily, hope it will not turn him stupid. He has already lived like a puppet for the past 40 years; it would be absolute tragic if he turn stupid after released from Bai Ying puppet charm.
Yang Guang does not tarry and moves like lightning toward the man priest name Lin Jing. However, Lin Jing does not allow Yang Guang to come closer to the stone altar. He throw two dolls toward Yang Guang and just as it reach the ground, those two dolls turn into two vicious warrior with bloody weapon. They both attacked Yang Guang swiftly and brutally. One of them hold a pair of thorn hammer while the other one hold a large sharp axe. Those two dolls definitely not just a mere enchanted doll.
"Ohh, that dolls, master be careful. That is the Crazy Yaksha puppet, it will release corpse powder that is fatal to human," Fushe scream to his master as he realised what kind of dolls that man Lin Jing throw to his master.
Darn, this man Lin Jing is the real deal.
