"Generally speaking, Lao Gong doesn't fear problems."
His display of fear towards the "mourning dogs that bring death" suggests that they are not as simple on the surface as they appear!
Sword techniques demand agile skills, and if the distance is too close, it's easy to encounter problems.
Moreover, their presence here is in itself one of the problems!
I speak in a deep voice, commanding: "The Eastern Qing Mountain Thunder, the Southern Hengshan Thunder, the Western Huashan Thunder, the Northern Hengshan Thunder, and the Central Songshan Thunder!"
"Five Thunders Speed Forward! By the authority of the Five Thunder Deputy Officials, thus it is commanded!"
At the same time, I palm a spell, stepping forward.
Electric arcs and red lights flashed, as two bursts of red light exploded on the two mourning dogs. Only one hit one of them.
The mournful howls emerged from their mouths, slightly slower for one, while the one with fewer injuries was even more ferociously charging forward.
"Open and honest, cutting evil inch by inch! Heart like the sun and moon, illuminating the heavens and earth!" My tone became more decisive and fierce. I raised my arms in a pushing palm stance and struck forward forcefully!
The talismans, hidden in the cuff of my sleeve, shot out in a rustle.
With adjustments to my actions and additional incantations, I shot at least ten talismans from my sleeve! They all hit the mourning dogs!
It suddenly stopped in place and collapsed with a bang, convulsing continuously and foaming at the mouth.
The other two mourning dogs let out another howl of pain, resembling being frightened, and fled with their tails between their legs.
I wanted to chase after them, but where can a person with two legs run faster than a dog with four? In a blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
"Aiyang...my heart..." It wasn't until now that Lao Gong dared to take big breaths.
The reeds previously scared into scattering in the temple just returned to Huahua's feet.
Huahua was equally wary, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
"Facing Wei Youming... the wraiths in the Reeds don't fear as much... these dogs..."
"I can't explain it, but I just stare at that mourning dog."
At this moment, an abrupt change occurred, it ceased its prior convulsions and its body began to disintegrate inch by inch.
From the flesh cracking, to the bones, and finally turning into a pile of rotten meat, it appeared terrifying and disgusting.
Even though the talisman method speaks of cutting evil spirits inch by inch, this was not due to the talisman's power...
The talismans only harm the corporeal souls, not real weapons chopped wildly.
"Ugh..." Huahua covered her nose, displaying a look of nausea and discomfort.
"Let's go." I grabbed Huahua's wrist and hurriedly walked out of the temple.
As we went around the pile of rotten flesh and bones, a foul stench came toward us.
After passing through the threshold, the wind blowing inside started to disperse the smell somewhat, at least it didn't directly sneak into my and Huahua's noses.
The whole county god temple was filled with ominous wind, even in broad daylight, the sun was barely visible.
This is the power of the Ghosts of the Five Prisons! Beneath the Accompanying Hell, it is not separated by day and night, and wherever they are, they can all resurrect and disturb as ghosts!
"Where is he?" Huahua tried to maintain a calm expression on her face.
I scanned my gaze over the yard.
The simple courtyard had only a few buildings on the left side, besides the outer walls and a main gate.
If... the range of the Accompanying Hell of the Ghosts of the Five Prisons only encompasses this city god temple, then he should be in those few houses?
If the range of the Accompanying Hell is larger, we'll have to talk about it then.
Therefore, I did not advance into those few houses first, but instead headed towards the main gate!
During this time, I did not release Huahua's hand, always ensuring she was beside me.
After all, it is the Ghosts of the Five Prisons; they cannot be underestimated.
As I approached the temple's courtyard entrance, I suddenly felt that someone was staring directly at me. Then, the gaze dissipated, as if I had left and he breathed a sigh of relief?
Next, I stepped out of the temple's courtyard threshold.
Suddenly, sunlight fell upon me, slightly warming up the chill on my body.
A poisonous and terrified gaze came from the opposite direction, and I immediately turned my gaze there, only to see it was Zhou Laohan.
He had a ferocious expression as if he wanted to eat people, becoming very aggressive.
"Are we leaving?" Huahua seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, but she still appeared anxious.
"You catch him!" My tone was decisive.
Then, I let go of Huahua's hand and spoke in a low voice, "Don't come in; I haven't come out yet."
"This..." Huahua just opened her mouth.
The old man, Zhou, seemed to have heard our words and realized our intentions, and he was in a panic to run towards another direction!
I didn't pay attention to him and turned to enter the city god temple.
"Be careful!" Huahua's warning was heard, but her figure chased after Zhou Laohan in my peripheral vision.
In the next instant, I was enveloped by a cold breath, and the temple was still filled with eerie air.
Lao Gong was on Huahua, so this left only me, making me extremely quiet.
I was originally heading towards those houses, but for some inexplicable reason, I walked back to the entrance of my own city god temple.
Lowering my head, my gaze fell upon the remains of the mourning dog that had turned into a pile of flesh and bones. Cold sweat poured down from my forehead, and I was also drenched with sweat on my back.
It seems normal.
But in reality, something was definitely wrong.
The fat in the flesh had a crystalline yellow hue. Upon closer inspection, the muscle texture was not as pronounced, but the meat was very red.
The fat in dog meat is definitely not this color, nor does it present in a granular form.
Only the fat of humans and chickens is like this, and it makes people instinctively feel sick...
The feeling of vomiting rose to my heart.
What kind of ghost is this?
Why did the mourning dog that was defeated turn into such a pile of rotten meat?
A muffled clang rang out again.
It's like someone is hitting me right on my forehead, hitting me on my bones, and almost crushing my brain, breaking my bones!
In a muffled groan, I managed to bear this non-existent pain.
Then, my lips trembled, and I whispered, "Supreme Overlord of the Celestial Star, ceaselessly adapt and change, repel evil and bind demons, protect my life, wisdom be clear and pure, mind and spirit at peace, three souls eternal, no loss of essence or spirit, thus it is commanded!"
Between the sounds of the incantation, it's as if a clear stream flowed through my head.
The intangible pain disappeared without a trace...
The whole person is clear, awake, and comfortable much more...
The clang sound disappeared, and everything became quiet.
At this moment, there was a slight change inside the temple. The city god statue, which had turned into a young woman's head, suddenly started to crack on the face inch by inch.
A tiny amount of soil started to fall off, quickly, the entire face was covered with tiny holes.
There was no sound, she crashed into a thousand pieces, like a landslide, the pieces fell down in a rustle.
The city god statue was gone, leaving only a pile of broken stones and mud.
Through the corner of my eye, the doors of that row of houses on the side were suddenly blown open with a loud bang!
I only saw a woman's figure emerge from within, though she didn't run, she was still coming towards me!
Three disappearances, three advances!
When she approached close to me, it was a youthful, attractive, and somewhat good-looking face.
But in the next moment, the flesh on her face started to disintegrate inch by inch, as if cut by a knife!
The sharp and poisonous scream echoed in my head, accompanied by a desolate and poisonous wail.
"Why!"
"Why can't humans have a moment of peace!"
"And to suffer even after death!"
"Should I? Ah! Am I?"
"You die! You die!"
