Running A Cemetery in North America

Chapter 281 - 186: Iron Yama

In the Original Buddhism, King Yan is also referred to as the ’Twin Kings’. Ancient Buddhist disciples believed that King Yan was not one person, but a pair of siblings. Therefore, the female corpse ridden by Iron Yama is sometimes considered another female incarnation of King Yan.

At the appropriate time, the positions of the female corpse and King Yan would switch, turning into a female Yan King riding a male corpse. However, such a depiction has never been discovered.

Iron Yama has always been a legend on the Tibetan plateau, and when the Great Black Heaven Temple could no longer suppress this demon, people were finally able to witness this legendary fiend.

As Iron Yama drew closer, the female corpse beneath him let out an evil laugh, like stones grinding together, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

Iron Yama didn’t utter a single word, but as Sun Yan gazed at this being as if a myth had descended, his whole body couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.

"It seems we have no choice but to fight. Let’s move." Sun Yan firmly gripped the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal and decisively spoke.

Without a word, Sosia leapt into the Nuo Opera Opening Dance, summoning the Dharma Aspect of the Mountain-Opening Fierce General.

Elise lit three sticks of incense, placed them upright on her head, wore the General Sun Mask, and began the Inviting the God process. Soon, the Dharma Aspect of General Sun appeared behind her.

Sun Yan used the Incense Ash Magical Power, and the Mo Lihai Dharma Aspect emerged one after another, with the three dharma aspects standing proudly on the spot, confronting Iron Yama.

Instead of panicking, Iron Yama opened his mouth to emit a low, prolonged laugh, making even the ground’s accumulated snow begin to tremble.

The female corpse’s limbs moved, carrying Iron Yama as if he were riding a mount, rushing toward Sun Yan and the others.

Wherever Iron Yama went, snow melted rapidly, and insects hidden in the snow died en masse, their appearances pitiful and grim.

With Iron Yama almost upon them, he was the first to swing the skull in his hand, several skulls opened their mouths and came biting at Sun Yan.

"Ha!"

Sun Yan lifted the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal, mana surged, and a thunderbolt as thick as a water barrel shot out, striking Iron Yama squarely in the chest.

The demon’s body glowed, merging his six arms and actually clamped the thunder in his hands; no law could invade him, but instead, the original purple thunder was slowly tainted black.

In Iron Yama’s hands, the thunder showed signs of decay and collapse.

But Sun Yan held Iron Yama at bay; Sosia and Elise were not bystanders.

The two women each unleashed their respective abilities, attacking Iron Yama.

If it has form and substance, there must be a vulnerable point that can be exploited to kill.

Even divine buddhas cannot escape death; how much less so the suppressed demon.

The Mountain-Opening Fierce General wielded the Golden Halberd, roared, swinging it down towards Iron Yama’s head, his momentum and power much more fierce than Sun Yan’s.

General Sun was equally formidable, punching toward Iron Yama’s chest. Both were fierce deities known for battling and vanquishing ghosts, so facing Iron Yama only fueled their ferocity with no room for leniency.

Boom!

The Golden Halberd struck Iron Yama’s skull, the punch landed on his chest.

The Lotus Treasure Gourd Armor on Iron Yama shattered instantly, falling to the ground, while two of his six hands continued to resist Sun Yan’s thunder.

The other four hands each grabbed the Golden Halberd and General Sun’s wrists, attempting to face three opponents alone.

Yet Sun Yan’s Mo Lihai Dharma Aspect had not yet acted. Seeing the stalemate, the Mo Lihai Dharma Aspect picked up the Jade Pipa and played it.

The musical sound waves spread, striking Iron Yama’s body. Though able to maintain the standoff initially, Iron Yama suddenly felt an intense headache, his facial features twisted in agony, and he let out a low, beast-like roar.

It was this slight flaw that allowed the General Sun Dharma Aspect to seize the opportunity, immediately locking Iron Yama’s throat with both arms, explosively releasing power, and holding his upper body immobile.

Seeing this, the Mountain-Opening Fierce General swiftly swung the Golden Halberd at Iron Yama’s neck.

Once the demon’s head was severed, no matter how powerful Iron Yama was, he would be unable to escape death.

As Iron Yama’s head was about to drop, the female corpse carrying him suddenly let out a mournful wail, then quickly flipped over, reversing positions with Iron Yama.

It suddenly became Iron Yama underneath as a carrier, bearing the female corpse.

The dried skin of the female corpse peeled off, immediately stretching wide and soaring into the air, transforming into a huge curtain that enveloped the snowy ground wholly.

Sun Yan and the others were instantly engulfed in darkness, surprisingly feeling the dried skin unbearably heavy, attempting to pin them to the ground, unable to move.

The surface of the dried skin revealed a large amount of Tibetan script, clearly indicating it was a Magical Artifact.

Sun Yan felt a sudden panic in his heart, he sensed something approaching him.

The thing moved incredibly fast, before Sun Yan could react, a horrifying skull face appeared before him.

"Heh heh heh..."

The female corpse laughed inexplicably, her hands reaching towards Sun Yan’s chest, the copper rings on her hands clinking.

Sun Yan quickly blocked with the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal in front of him, striking the female corpse’s hands precisely, in an instant, a huge electric arc erupted, and Sun Yan pulled something out of his pocket and sprinkled it on the female corpse’s face.

It was the Lotus Spirit Water that Sun Yan had requested from Master Bazaar before leaving the Lotus Temple.

Sizzle!

When the spirit water was poured on the female corpse’s face, it was like acid splashing, white smoke filled the air from her face, and she let out a painful screech from her mouth.

This purifying substance is highly effective against demons.

Otherwise, the evil people from Zhaxi wouldn’t dare to break into the Lotus Temple.

Seizing this opportunity, the Mo Lihai Dharma directly grabbed the female corpse’s face with one hand, and as his hand applied pressure, her skull began to crack apart.

But she was no match for Mo Lihai, Sun Yan looked around and couldn’t spot the figures of Sosia and Elise, feeling anxious, he only wanted to escape the cover of this dried skin quickly.

Without holding back, he crazily infused incense ash magical power into the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal, causing the strongest dazzling lightning ever to explode.

A thunder column as thick as a barrel shot up into the sky, directly shattering the dried skin above Sun Yan’s head, before the female corpse could react, the lightning-emitting Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal was already slapped onto her face.

Boom!

Dark clouds gathered, a bolt of Celestial Thunder struck down, hitting the female corpse directly, the powerful thunder turned the female corpse into charcoal on the spot, as the cold wind blew, it scattered into black ash all over the ground.

"Woo ah, woo ah."

At the moment the female corpse was struck and obliterated by Celestial Thunder, a mournful cry suddenly sounded under the nearby dried skin.

It was the Iron Yama who, upon seeing the female corpse dead, his entire body started uncontrollably swelling, growing increasingly larger.

And as his size increased, the aura he emitted became more and more dangerous, causing Sun Yan to feel a slight unease in his heart.

"Can’t let him go on any longer, kill him now!" Sun Yan shouted.

Sosia and Elise, crawling out from the dried skin, were shocked at the sight and, under Sun Yan’s urging, began using their incense ash magical powers.

At this moment, the Mountain-Opening Fierce General, Mo Lihai, and General Sun’s three Dharma Aspects were also continuously growing larger, the Dharma Aspects becoming even more solid and heavy, evenly matched with the Iron Yama.

Kill!

The three Dharma Aspects attacked simultaneously, sending vicious strikes at Iron Yama.

Iron Yama lashed out with his six arms, holding skulls wreathed in black fog, as soon as the four collided, the entire ground trembled, the snow-covered surface started to crack, and an earthquake began.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Despite Iron Yama’s strength, he couldn’t withstand the simultaneous attacks of the three Dharma Aspects, his body instantly exploded, turning into a flurry of black snow.

Feeling the earth cracking, the Great Black Heaven Temple also began to collapse due to the tremor.

"Run!" Sun Yan shouted, hurriedly taking Sosia and Elise and fled to the distance.

He was not afraid of the earthquake, but rather felt a vague sense of something awakening below the Great Black Heaven Temple.

The aura made him immensely fearful, if confronted with it, all of them might die with no place to bury, this place was absolutely not suitable for lingering.

After the three had fled several miles away, the Great Black Heaven Temple could no longer support itself, the beams in the temple cracked and it turned into ruins.

A massive figure slowly crawled out from beneath the earth, countless giant tentacles waving in the air, like a bizarre black forest.

Unfortunately, Sun Yan and the other two had already left long ago and couldn’t witness this scene.
