Just as I was thinking this, Han Zaozi cast another talisman!
The talisman landed on the old woman at the other end!
The two talismans, though they seem formidable, actually have no real power.
The two old women quickly rushed in front of Han Zaozi.
At this moment, Han Zaozi's voice boomed like a bell, as he shouted, "The incantation is: 'Nine heavens' mysterious Thunder, divine evil-dispelling lightning, the mighty will of heaven! One day of Juyu thunder, I command the Five Thunder Judges, hurry up as per the law and command!"
The heavy thunder sound seemed to be about to burst through Qiyuan Village's sky!
The sky outside must be covered with dark clouds, thunder roaring, and lightning flashing unceasingly!
But the dark sky of Qiyuan Village still only had a single ray of white!
The two old women headbutt straight towards Han Zaozi, their sharp, pointed mouths biting down fiercely!
Han Zaozi retreated quickly, just barely avoiding the sudden burst of speed.
However, they didn't stop, charging towards Han Zaozi again!
The leader, with a terrified expression, muttered, "The sky of Qiyuan Village is sealed by grievances too tightly; even when Han Zaozi called down lightning, it couldn't break in! All the spirit guardians are ordered: assist Han Zaozi and eliminate those two demonic entities! Would rather die than retreat! If not, our reputation as spirit guardians will be tarnished. If Han Zaozi falls, we can't live to leave this place!"
As soon as the leader finished speaking, the remaining eight lowly individuals charged out decisively!
"Manifest your divine power! Go dig out that heart!"
"The thickness of the resentment here must come from retribution ghosts, living green corpse spirits, and this pile of bones and flesh!"
"Erasing a few of them might be able to break some of the dreadful prisons!"
"Those two demonic entities are likely not easy to kill!"
The leader said this, and with both hands, he simultaneously reached into his sleeve, and lo and behold, he pulled out two cypress wood hearts and rushed towards Han Zaozi!
I immediately understood the leader's intention.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
Han Zaozi avoided the two old women once more.
The two old women, to my surprise, did not charge forward but instead let out a sharp, piercing howl.
This is not a scream, but rather like they are calling out for something.
Han Zaozi drew another talisman, and the moment the symbol appeared, it fell onto the heads of the two old women.
But when he invoked the lightning with his incantation, the only thing that happened was a rumbling in the sky; no lightning struck down.
" Elder Han! The lightning spell is ineffective; the cypress wood hearts can kill the old women!"
"Quickly eliminate them! They are attracting more of their kind!" The leader shouted shrilly.
The fear surged through me.
There were still old women in the deserted fields, even though twenty or more had been killed outside?
If they bring in more, with the cypress wood hearts in our hands, we would never be able to kill them all.
Even if we could kill these two elderly women who are comparable to ancestors, the others would still be able to exhaust us all.
Thinking, I dared not waste any time, and I took off running towards the sunken area at full speed.
As I looked, Yu Xiu had covered half the distance and was nearly at the center!
Frowning, I thought, why is Yu Xiu so slow?
I quickly arrived at the sunken area, and with one step, I stepped onto the corpse ground!
"Boom!"
My heart jumped intensely, as if it was striking against my chest!
The pain was so intense that I didn't have time to take a breath in, and with a "pu" sound, a mouthful of blood was spat out!
I retreated with a step, leaving the corpse ground, and my heart was jumping up and down in a high-low rhythm. I was panting heavily, feeling the salty taste in my mouth, and my eyelids were twitching.
I suddenly remembered that day when I approached this area, my heart had started to beat in sync with the core's pile of bones and flesh...
Previously, when I approached, I didn't notice any reaction from my heart.
And with the changes here compared to before, last time the coffin containing the heart was visible, and this time it was wrapped in flesh, my instinct was to think that there was no problem here anymore, and I ignored that...
Yu Xiu is still about half the distance to the center, and her steps are very slow...
I only just understood that it wasn't slow...it was the place itself that was too bizarre.
Yu Xiu's ability to reach there proves her strength.
I'm afraid that with just three steps, my heart would shatter...
My peripheral vision quickly glanced at Han Zaozi's side.
The eight lowly individuals, plus the leader assisting from the side, Han Zaozi didn't call down lightning but instead wielded his whisk to deal with the old women using his strong skills.
However, these two old women had tough skin and flesh, and they were already impaled with four cypress wood hearts, but they showed no signs of falling. Instead, they grew even more ferocious. The old women who had eaten the pile of bones and flesh were no longer susceptible to ordinary cypress wood hearts.
I even had an idea that if Han Zaozi could call down lightning, he might be able to kill them.
The best outcome is for me to immediately dig out the heart of the pile of bones and flesh and quickly leave this place!
With my thoughts settled, I looked at Yu Xiu again!
It's been over a minute; Yu Xiu has only taken this step, and she is slowly raising her foot to take another step forward.
Beads of sweat were rolling down my forehead.
Yu Xiu's speed is likely so slow that she may not even reach the very center in a day and night, let alone dig out the heart.
Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my mind and took a step towards the corpse ground.
The moment I landed, there was another "thump," the heartbeat thumping.
My throat felt as if something was going to come out, like blood was about to spit.
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, keeping my eyes wide open, and I didn't retreat!
With another step, my entire body was standing on the corpse ground.
My heart was pounding, each beat seemed to be smashing through my chest, and my brain was throbbing with pain!
I just accepted the reality...
Here, there is no room for technique. It's the heart of the pile of bones and flesh that resists foreign intruders and acts as a protective mechanism.
I was barely able to bear the speed of the heartbeats and took another step back.
Suddenly, it hit me like a bolt of lightning, and I thought of something.
I quickly took out four clear mirrors from my chest!
I used the mirrors to reflect my body!
The copper light flashed briefly, and instantly, the pounding sensation of the heartbeat weakened and became completely normal!
I dare not move too much, maintaining a bit of distance from Han Zaozi and his team, and with my back to them, the four clear mirrors held in front of me. He couldn't see it.
This is also related to their fighting; he simply couldn't spare the time to look at me.
I took deep breaths and walked forward quickly!
My peripheral vision constantly looked at the four mirrors. In the mirrors, it seemed to be hundreds and thousands of thin, gray veins that were trying to pierce into my heart. However, if I looked at my chest with my naked eye, nothing could be seen...
Soon, I passed by Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu looked at me with hollow eyes, slightly dazed.
As I walked further, the number of gray veins wrapping around me in the copper mirrors increased.
They're like tiny snakes, trying to enter my heart!
Probably, the two ways to repel enemies of the pile of bones and flesh are these two.
Either the invader's heart is made to beat until it ruptures, or these strange veins pierce the heart if that fails.
Fortunately, I have the four rules mirrors. But how does Yu Xiu resist?
The thoughts are back to normal. As long as Yu Xiu is fine, I don't need to look at her too much.
In a blink of an eye, I reached the central position.
Here, the depression is even more pronounced, almost like a heart cavity.
The rough skin has large pores that are about the size of a thumbnail, making me feel a chill all over my scalp.
Its heart, constantly beating, is shaking the heart cavity!
