Chapter 158 Resurrection!
Those inside naturally sensed what was happening outside. “I didn’t expect them to catch up so quickly. I thought all these fledglings were useless?” The middle-aged man’s usually gloomy face showed some tension. “Activate the outer magic array to stop them.”
Hearing this, the young man quickly went out. At the same time, he saw Wu Bo jump down first while carrying a dog. The little dog barked fiercely twice and pounced after them.
Wu Bo followed closely behind, calling out, “Son! Come back!”
“Wu Bo!” Gu Ye called out, but Wu Bo had already given chase. When he tried to follow, the scene before him had changed. Gu Ye dared not make a move, taking 2 steps back to Xie Cheng, back to back. “This is a magic array.”
“Don’t worry,” Xie Cheng grinned mischievously, tugging at the rope tied to his wrist. “This kid (FX) studies arrays; he understands everything you don’t.”
Fan Xiao was pulled over and breathed a sigh of relief. “Luckily there was a rope; otherwise I would have been lost again.”
Gu Ye urged, “Break the array quickly.”
“Okay.”
While Fan Xiao was breaking the formation, Gu Ye observed his surroundings. The scenery had completely changed; it was all white and shrouded in fog. Gu Ye said, “It wasn’t like this before.”
“I saw it. There were many talismans, just like what we saw outside. This is an ancient tomb.”
“It must have been suppressing something evil; that’s why so many talismans were needed.” Gu Ye frowned. “If it really is Hanba, this will be difficult. I wonder how Wu Bo is doing now.”
“Let’s take it one step at a time. Don’t worry about Wu Bo; he’s cunning.”
Just then, the scenery changed again. Fan Xiao exclaimed happily, “It’s broken!”
There were a number of them here; they were actually gathered nearby. After the white mist dissipated, the stone gate, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, was now closed. Everyone had to figure out how to get out.
Xie Cheng looked at the talismans and characters on the wall and said doubtfully, “Why do I feel like these characters are similar to my master’s?”
Xie Cheng walked closer to examine them. “It really is my master’s handwriting!”
“And this is my master’s!”
“This talisman is from my sect!”
Such statements came one after another, and everyone immediately understood that whatever was sealed here was done by their masters a long time ago.
Xie Cheng pulled out his phone. “I’ll call my master and ask what’s going on.” Upon looking at it, Xie Cheng said helplessly, “No signal. We’ll have to rely on ourselves. Anyone studied archaeology? Come and find the way!”
One of them stepped forward. “I studied archaeological research.”
The two policemen were incredibly impressed. This master’s team truly had all sorts of talents.
The remaining people released hundreds of little ghosts to run through the walls and find a way out. They quickly found the shortest route: demolish the wall! Archaeology and the like are not for them!
To facilitate their operation, Gu Ye helped to open Xiao Wang and Xian Zhang’s heavenly eyes. The moment they opened their eyes, they saw several little ghosts poking their heads out of the wall, saying, “This side is the thinnest! Tear this one down!”
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang were exasperated, facepalming. They were going insane!
The dozen young men worked together and quickly demolished the wall. Beyond it was a passageway. The little ghosts pointed and led everyone to demolish another wall. The Masters rolled up their sleeves and pried open a hole in the wall. Then, one kick each, and the wall was kicked askew.
Next, everyone witnessed the scene detected by the little paper doll earlier. The eerie resurrection ritual was right before their eyes.
The coffin lid had been opened, revealing a skull much larger than a normal human head. A skeleton covered in runes, identical to those on the back of the murdered female doctor, lay on the coffin. A middle-aged man, holding a human skin, stared in shock at the crowd. After a brief pause, he quickly laid the skin down and poured a bucket of blood in. “Quick!”
The other three hurriedly activated the magic circle. With their movement, the coffin shook. Someone shouted, “Not enough resentment! Not enough offerings!”
At this moment, Gu Ye and the others snapped out of their shock and rushed forward. “Offerings my a’ss! Don’t move!”
Originally at the back of the crowd, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang finally squeezed in and shouted, “Don’t move! Put your hands above your heads!”
Upon seeing the scene inside the coffin, Xie Cheng cursed, “Damn it! Not again!!”
The four men were truly surprised that these fledglings of the mystical arts sect had found them so quickly. They hurriedly channeled their resentful energy, wishing they could complete every step of the process right away. Blood was bubbling and gurgling inside the coffin, with a faint, low gr0aning sound emanating from within. It was like an old man with something stuck in his throat, making a resounding buzzing noise.
Gu Ye reacted swiftly and picked up a stone. He drew a talisman on it, and then smashed the rock at the coffin. With a loud clang, the sound inside was like hitting metal. From that sound alone, the Masters knew what was inside was not to be trifled with.
Dozens of Masters tried their best to attack and unleashed their most powerful techniques. As the blood was completely absorbed, the buzzing sound grew stronger. Then, a blood-red arm emerged from the coffin. Everyone gasped, and Gu Ye tossed aside the talisman, shouting, “Back off!”
The coffin shook, and a blood-stained skeleton sat up inside. Horrifyingly, its head still had flesh and blood. A large, ugly face looked over, its blue eyes gradually turning red. “AO!!”
A howl shook everyone, making them dizzy. This was on a completely different level from the jiāngshī princess from before.
Just as everyone’s attention was focused on the sitting-up jiāngshī, the 2 Taoist priests seized their opportunity and tried to run. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang reacted swiftly, shooting each of them in the legs. “Don’t move! The next shot will be your heads!”
Just then, the skeleton in the coffin suddenly stood up and grabbed the nearest old Taoist priest. With its 2 skeletal hands, it seized the old man’s body and tore him apart. Blood sprayed all over the skeleton, which made it let out another excited howl. Then, it threw away the corpse and flew to another old Taoist priest. It grabbed him and bit his neck.
“Not Hanba!”
“This is a male jiāngshī, not Hanba!”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man with a gloomy face quietly took a few steps back, pressing his hand against the wall.
Gu Ye’s expression turned cold. “Qingyi!”
A cold wind blew by, and the man was grabbed by the neck and thrown to the ground. The old man screamed, and Qingyi appeared, stepping on his head.
Gu Ye warned Xiao Wang, “That old man was the one who started this. Don’t let him get away.”
At this moment, a young man rushed in, “Master!”
The jiāngshī had just finished drinking blood when it saw the person who had just rushed in. It flew over happily and bit the person’s neck.
“Master! Save me…”
The old man who was pinned to the ground by Qingyi didn’t panic when seeing this. Instead, he smiled and said, “7 sacrifices, it’s complete now.”
Hearing that, the young man looked at his master in disbelief, unable to believe his master would say such a thing.
The middle-aged man gave a few sinister laughs. “You will all die! Everyone must die! This world deserves to die!”
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang rushed over and handcuffed the old man and another Taoist priest who was trembling with fear. The Masters had already taken up positions, ready to deal with this newly resurrected jiāngshī.
Gu Ye looked at the middle-aged man and frowned. “I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before. What’s your name?”
“Gu Ye! Come help!”
Xie Cheng shouted at Gu Ye, “Wait until we get back to talk about this! People are dying, a’right?!”
Xie Cheng had already tied a whip around the jiāngshī’s neck. The thin neck bone had no flesh and looked extremely fragile. However, even with Xie Cheng and several others strangling it together, they couldn’t break it.
Gu Ye rushed forward, wielding his cinnabar brush. With a flick and a hook, a talisman was formed and swiftly flung over to wrap around the jiāngshī’s neck. But before the hold could be reinforced, the talisman was violently blasted away.
“AO!!” The deafening howl gave everyone a splitting headache. Immediately afterward, a dozen young men charged forward, brandishing copper coin swords. The blows felt like striking steel against bone. The attackers were unharmed, but several of the copper coin swords were shattered by the impact, scattering coins everywhere.
Gu Ye saw this wouldn’t work and exclaimed, “Brother Wang! Come on! The people need you!”
Xiao Wang mustered his courage and rushed forward. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Ye pulled a dagger from Xie Cheng’s waist. He grabbed Xiao Wang’s hand and said, “The people need the blood of the police!”
“Frick!” Even with his good temper, Xiao Wang couldn’t help cursing after hearing Gu Ye’s words. After swearing, he gritted his teeth and said, “Do it!”
The author has something to say:
Xiao Wang: This is too much for me.
