Ning Changjiu solved a doubt in his heart.
When he was in the junior general’s hall, the corpse of Wang Yangyu’s son was quite normal. The victim seemed to be killed with one strike.
Ning Qinshui’s demonization was much more complicated and bizarre.
He thought it was done by Blood Feather but it shouldn’t take such a peculiar move. He was suspicious of it but he didn’t think too deeply. Now that he was punched by her, he could feel the horrifying and familiar Qi that had once almost taken over his body. Even he felt somewhat terrified.
Ning Changjiu pulled out the sword. The scarlet moon shone on the sword with pale light, which was washed brightly by the afterward glistening sword Qi.
Ning Changjiu asked, “Why did you show up in the imperial city that day?”
The beautiful girl gently rubbed her red lips with her fingers, asking with laughter, “I’m also curious about one thing. You were clearly dead.
Ning Changjiu looked at the enchanting girl entrenched in the bone prison like a red spider and made a posture of guarding rather than attacked recklessly.“Why didn’t you kill us that day?” Ning Changjiu asked.The bone monster was at the realm of Long Life at least. Now, as the deadly energy immersed into Linhe City, her cultivation level rose greatly. It would not take her long to break through the realm of Long Life and Purple Court. Previously, she was a grand monster that had entered the realm of Purple Court for sure so she wouldn’t be trapped by the inner demon tribulation of the realm of Purple Court.Ms. Bai laughed coquettishly and said, “I followed Ning Qinshui into the imperial city but I lingered around the city’s gate for a long time and then still braced myself to go inside. Since I got what I wanted, I decided to let you go. However, here we met again. You could have a chance to live but you chose the wrong way.”
The scarlet moon above the Linhe City was not high or bright. Under the moonlight, there were still shadows of rows of cabins and earthen buildings.The moment they escaped from the prison of bones, Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling exerted Taoist Hidden Breathing Techniques and hid among the rows of buildings. They went through alleys and lanes and finally stopped under the shadow of a white wall.Ning Xiaoling held against the wall and panted while Ning Changjiu was better, whose white clothes were stained with blood.The alleys in this area were narrow and cold. The snow in many places was not cleared up. Through some lifted windows, the lamplight could be vaguely seen. However, although the room was ablaze with light, it was deathly still and lifeless.“What should we do next?” Ning Xiaoling was still in a state of shock and consulted Changjiu in a low voice.Ning Changjiu said, “Either break the structure of
Ning Xiaoling stared at him with her fear turning into numbness all over her body. She couldn’t even be able to hold the sword.She didn’t come back to her senses until Ning Qinshui asked the question.When she was still Ning Qinshui’s disciple, she never dared to fight back as to his scolding and cursing. She would only speak ill of him behind his back.Now, the old thing she detested appeared before her. Besides, as she said, he was no longer a human being. Her curse worked well but she didn’t feel happy at all. Astonishment and fear instantly clawed through her like a fierce animal.She turned around and took a look at Changjiu only to find that he was extremely composed. Then, she finally felt calm.Ning Changjiu looked at him and clenched the sword more tightly.On the day when he was reborn, he pointed at Ning Qinshui with a streak of Taoist genuine consciousness. Back then, his cultivation le
The ritual had started on the Bridge of Forgetfulness.The five bone copper paintings formed a magnificent scroll. The images also started to move from the first painting.The officials of Hades’s mansion, including Yama, the Black Guard, the White Guard, Old Lady Meng and the Ghost Usher, were waiting by the Bridge of Forgetfulness, who looked sullen.On the throne of bones, Ms. Bai’s green dress became drier and drier, her plump flesh turning into misty snow rapidly. The fog oozed out of her dress. Her whole body became bony and under her black hair was not the pretty face but a rosy skeleton.She left the throne and walked into the first copper painting.This was the painting of the gods’ war. After she threw herself into the painting, the bones of throne were quickly dissembled and put together, taking the shape of the fallen god.The god fell into the mortal world like a shooting star, causing
Ms. Bai’s words were heard by many people.It was the chatelain who was confused in shock at first. He immediately said, “No way. It was me who supervised the closing of the city gate. It was seamlessly closed. There are also people guarding the city wall. How can anyone sneak into the city?”Ms. Bai said, “Yet, we do have a visitor.”The scholar wearing the mourning clothes took a look at the chatelain who was flurried and then snorted, “Now, Ms. Bai is about to take over the power of Hades and the dead spirits in the city won’t die. Whomever the visitor is, what difference can it make? Courting death only.”The chatelain snorted and snapped, “You are only a useless scholar. What do you know? Before Fengdu City is built up, any trivial thing can become a deadly hindrance. Now, we cannot allow any accident. Never!”The scholar turned around and knew that Ms. Bai was not in a good mood now. So, he didn’t argue wi
The yard walls of the Judge’s mansion were crushed and the gate was opened. On the raised rock-like muscles of the big black ox, the red blood beads rolled across the dark furs and splashed in different directions. Amidst the roaring sound of collapse, Ning Qinshui wondered whether he was dim-sighted. He saw a dark figure landed and vanished with Ning Xiaoling.The mad ox crushed the Judge’s mansion and still charged forward into the yard.The ox’s actions just wrenched at Ning Qinshui’s heart. He directly left the two treacherous disciples and the brutal and reckless butcher behind and rushed into the house with the brunch pen, wishing to tear the mad ox apart which dared to ruin the gate.Ning Qinshui rushed into the dark hall. It was dark around. The walls connected with the yard were also crushed. The mad black ox ran wildly in the snowfield of the yard and it screamed as if a beast was roaring. Ning Qinshui was about to step into th
After its neck bone was cracked, the second monster stood still. Then, it just collapsed into countless fragments and dropped into Sha Water, which were engulfed and resolved by the water.The sword was put back into the umbrella.Fluttering its wings, Jiuyu rose and continued springing at the next bone monster with Zhao Xiang’er.Zhao Xiang’er was at the realm of Long Life. It was hard to say who would win in a struggle among those at the same realm but Zhao Xiang’er not only had an extraordinary realm of Long Life but also held a sharp weapon that could almost cut off everything.Most importantly, her killing mind and killing intent were both extremely rich. Besides, she was not particular about the sword moves. Every sword move was the neatest killing act almost without traces.The third bone monster was twice the height of the former two. It swung its thick and long arms in the air like waves, rolling up gus
Ms. Bai stood in the air. The throne fell apart. Instantly, the bones and skulls just attached to her body. Some of them formed a jagged dragon body, some of them joined together and became the bone tail much longer than the body, and some grew out of the hair and turned into a beautiful chignon like a crown. Yet, most of the remaining bones were attached to the body and the four limbs like a suit of bone armor.A pure black crescent and a pure white crescent were hanging above her shoulders. The two crescents drew a terminator in the middle of her enchanting face.Now, Ms. Bai looked like the being in myth, which was somewhere between a beautiful woman and an ancient mythical creature.“Hades...”Ning Qinshui succeeded in putting together the fragments of his soul and looked up. Only by one glance, he couldn’t help kowtowing on his knees.The other officials of hell all bowed together.Ms. Bai didn
