The living undead's control over the corpses, with their arms and fingers moving as if possessed, these malevolent spirits that never decay or dissolve are all driven by the souls of grievances.
Even more shocking to me is that the souls of child corpses can control the bodies.
I actually thought that it had been in the water for too long, and it was an old corpse immersed in water, so it couldn't do it after coming ashore. That's why the old Gong could possess him!
So in that case, was it not a drowning suicide? It seems he died on land, but was forcibly submerged underwater after death?
For a moment, my thoughts felt like a knot in my head.
I dare not pause or delay, I take off running in another direction towards the collapsed, half destroyed temple.
The two father-and-son corpses flanked the Bull Ghost, and for a time, the heavy collisions and the piercing sounds of penetration were continuously heard.
Although the child corpse is a Blue Ghost, it can't compare to the Bull Ghost.
That shaman's level is unknown, but it is also far less capable.
Old Gong is a ghost that could eat Wei Youming's arm, yet he was scattered by the Bull Ghost, and he hasn't recovered yet.
They can't hold out for long.
I pushed through the broken bricks and rafters and rushed into the temple.
It seemed to have collapsed halfway, but actually, it was just the beams that had fallen. It was the shaman trying to resurrect; the four walls were still intact and undamaged.
The remaining parts of the beams have a wobbly, tottering feeling...
Not that something is unstable, but rather, it seems as if... the ground is moving?
My scalp felt numb in waves, what's going on here?
Struggling to suppress the unease in my heart, I quickly sweep my gaze over the back end of the beam, and immediately catch sight of something.
It seems to be disk-shaped, but it's wrapped up by a messy clot of something red.
Taking quick steps, I leap forward and grab the item, one end of which is tied with a rope. I pull it sharply to break the rope!
Only when I landed did I see that the blood-stained thing was actually a piece of raw flesh!
After peeling it open, lying in the palm of my hand was a sefhor's compass!
The compass is something I'm not very familiar with. Mao You has used one, and so had the previous master Shao Si. In fact, Shao Si even used the compass as a magical tool!
I immediately understand that it should be the item used by the Shaman to suppress the Bull Ghost!
But I don't know why it's hanging here, wrapped in blood and flesh.
Stepping out of the temple with great strides, the scene in front of my eyes was particularly gruesome. The Shaman's corpse had been forced apart into two parts, and his gray intestines were scattered on the ground.
The child corpse was repeatedly thrown into the air, with the Bull Ghost using its horn to catch it. However, its body was resilient and had not been completely pierced yet.
A wailing and shrieking sound erupted from the child corpse, making my scalp numb!
"Ghost thing! Come over!" I shouted fiercely, the sound like thunder.
The Bull Ghost suddenly twisted its body, and the child corpse landed heavily, and it charged towards me with its legs!
This time facing me again, it was the sharp horns! It seemed to want to stab me straight through!
I took a deep, forceful breath, maintaining composure!
As I reached into my waistband, I put the compass away.
Then I gripped the copper mallet and the half-foot copper sword!
"Tianfu Spiritual God, the Power of the Underworld! Hold the golden mallet, investigate the ghosts by name! Great Heaven Martial Artists, General Meng Luo, hasten to investigate, do not stop, as per the decree of the Emperor of Fengdu!"
The incantation was almost about to break.
This incantation, I have not used before, and at first, I thought there was no gold mallet, but later when I got a copper mallet, I realized that I was not strong enough to wield it.
It was not until now, after a transformation on the Leishen Cliff, and with life and death hanging in the balance, that my willpower has become drastically different from before!
I only feel a huge surge of energy above my body, especially in my legs.
Bending my body, I suddenly leap forward!
I leaped up almost a meter high, and I swung my arms down fiercely!
The half-foot copper sword is for cutting, and the copper mallet is for hammering!
There was a thunderous boom!
The Bull Ghost's head caved in a deep hole, and I slammed it down to the ground with great force.
The massive backlash caused my palms to ache painfully, and my body was sent flying out, crashing into the broken pieces of the beam that had previously been shattered.
The Bull Ghost quivered and stood up, roaring and charging at me again.
I breathed heavily, stood up, and then released the copper mallet, took out the compass, and ran towards the Bull Ghost!
At this moment, the Bull Ghost's movements were no longer as agile as before.
I was not taking an unnecessary risk to bash a stone with an egg, but rather, I felt that the demonic aura of the Bull Ghost, buried here for so many years, had likely grown much stronger than before. This is why it covered the compass with blood and flesh.
I had to injure it to have a complete grip on the situation!
Otherwise, if it was as agile as before, I might be decapitated just by getting close to it!
I stepped with utmost stability, and in an instant, I was within a hand's reach of the Bull Ghost.
The compass, I violently slammed into its forehead wound, with all my might, embedding it into the concave bone that I had struck out of it!
The needle spun wildly, the Bull Ghost let out a shrill roar, and again it slammed heavily into my chest.
As I was flung away by it, its horn still sliced across my waist, a piercing pain shot through me, and blood spurted out.
I landed heavily again, the momentum making me collide with the temple wall, and I felt as if my spine was about to snap.
The Bull Ghost did not charge forward anymore, but instead stood still with a dazed expression.
A loud crack was heard, and the bloodied bones scattered and shattered to the ground.
As the Bull Ghost's head fell to the ground, its copper bell-like eyes kept streaming blood.
It kept making a faint clanging sound inside its head, as if it was trying to force out the compass, but the compass was stuck too tight and could not be taken out at all...
A surge of white mist was swirling around the bull's head, as if to restore it, but the compass was trapped in the skull, blocking this process.
I feel like I understand something, but yet I don't...
The ground shakes even more violently, as if a landslide is about to occur.
"Uncle, run!" Old Gong's head finally solidified. His entire face was contorted with fury.
I took deep breaths, stood up from the ground, and quickly put away the copper mallet and half-foot copper sword.
Then, I hoarsely ordered Old Gong to go and use the child corpse for possession.
Old Gong grunted, saying, "Uncle, it's time to save our lives!"
He looked extremely worried!
I turned my head, glaring at Old Gong, and shouted, "Go!"
Old Gong shivered, as if frightened by my gaze.
His head suddenly hit the ground, rolling towards the child corpse.
I quickly walked towards the two segments of the Shaman's corpse, grabbed one segment with each hand, and clamped them onto my waist.
The child corpse swayed and stood up, its eyeballs rolling around, looking extremely frightened.
I didn't utter a sound. I took off running, breaking out of the temple's range and heading towards the direction outside of NiuTi Village.
The child corpse stumbled, but quickly caught up to me!
The moon is bright and shining.
On one side of the mountain, white smoke kept rising, and continuous muffled thunder rumbled!
I even saw huge round boulders jumping into the forest, only to bounce back and come crashing towards our direction!
We're like running for our lives!
When the fallen rocks increased, we were constantly hit by shattered stones on our bodies and faces. Stones a little larger than those would seem to punch a hole through our heads, while smaller ones made our faces and bodies burn with pain!
Even some large rocks were whooshing over our heads!
I myself don't know, at the brink of life and death, my willpower would be so strong, and my body would possess such great potential!
When I and the child corpse possessed by Old Gong broke out of NiuTi Village, thunderous roars shook the sky, and vast amounts of sand, rocks, and debris poured down from the mountains, completely burying the entire NiuTi Village...
