Chapter 189: Grand Sui Killing Sword, Also Known as Dòngzhēn (3rd Release)
Chapter 189: Grand Sui Killing Sword, Also Known as Dòngzhēn (3rd Release)
Escape, must escape!
Chen Huangpi couldn't care less whether this Yama's shadow would punch him.
Even if he was beaten to death.
He didn't want his head to be pressed onto the Yama's shadow's neck.
But where could he escape to?
This Evil-Suppressing Village was just the size of an ordinary village.
The rest of the places were either mountain forests or rivers.
But even if he escaped there, he would probably be overtaken by the Yama's shadow in an instant.
"Huang Er, quickly think of a method."
"A Gui, you make yourself useful too..."Chen Huangpi pinned his hopes on the Brass Oil Lamp and the Life-Reaping Ghost.
Because all of his mental energy was concentrated on those Evil Eyes upon the dual arms and chest of the Yama's shadow.
Those Evil Eyes were squirming.
Attempting to suppress the Yama's shadow's instincts.
This also caused it to stop and go, as if it were lagging.
The Brass Oil Lamp saw this and felt anxious in its heart.
But it truly couldn't think of a method.
"A Gui, what element of the Five Elements does the Yama's shadow belong to?"
"The Yama of the Seventh Hall belongs to earth, but this is a shadow..."
The Life-Reaping Ghost said with difficulty: "Shadows don't count within the Five Elements, they belong to Yin and Yang."
"Fine, then the Five Viscera Temple is useless against it."
The Brass Oil Lamp said urgently: "If I were in my prime, I should be able to arm wrestle with this Yama's shadow, but right now I can't even sense my avatars. Even if I morphed into an evil spirit, I estimate I couldn't withstand a single punch from it."
At the entrance of that Yama Hall, there existed one of its avatars.
That avatar suppressed the Yama Hall.
In that avatar's memory, this Yama's corpse had never made any unusual movements, therefore the Brass Oil Lamp also didn't know how to deal with it.
The Life-Reaping Ghost however said: "Huang Er, back then when the Contract Master illuminated this Yama's shadow, he used your lamplight. If you repeat this old action now, can you make this world completely devoid of light?"
The Brass Oil Lamp said: "Where there is light, there is shadow. Even if I morph into an evil spirit, and my light turns black, that's still light, and it will still be completely useless."
Unless the moon in the sky disappeared right now.
Otherwise, as long as there was the slightest bit of light, that Yama's shadow wouldn't run into Chen Huangpi's shadow.
But right at this moment.
Chen Huangpi suddenly let out a pained muffled groan.
More Evil Eyes were expelled by that Yama's shadow.
So much so that his mind suffered backlash, as if steel nails were piercing his brain.
"Huang Er, A Gui, you guys leave first."
Chen Huangpi gritted his teeth saying: "This Yama's shadow's target is me. It isn't guaranteed to be able to twist my head off. I'll buy time for you guys, go quickly, go quickly!!!"
"No, if we leave, we leave together."
The Brass Oil Lamp shouted: "In the past it didn't twist your head off, we'll set that matter aside for now, but right now if you say it can't twist your head off, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death."
The power of the Yama's shadow was obvious to all.
Most importantly, the Brass Oil Lamp genuinely felt that this ghost place might truly be a cave world opened up by some almighty existence, capable of isolating all contact with the outside world.
Even Guanzhu might not know about the unforeseen events here.
Otherwise, why was it fine after cursing Guanzhu for so long?
If it were in the past, it would have long since felt that obscure sensation of a pair of eyes secretly watching it in the dark.
"Wait, Chen Huangpi, you're using the Dog Rearing Scripture to control me again..."
The Brass Oil Lamp said angrily: "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"
"Huang Er, I am the Rearing Master."
Chen Huangpi feigned relaxedness and said: "Don't worry about me, I can still morph into an evil spirit. That Yama's shadow only has instincts. I'm already fourteen, it cannot outplay me."
Saying so, he waved his hand towards the Brass Oil Lamp.
The latter instantly erupted with bright light.
That was the power of the Escaping One Divine Light!
But right at this moment.
Criss-crossing rays of bloody light suddenly surfaced from the ground exactly beneath Chen Huangpi's feet.
Those bloody lights seemed to revolve according to some specific pattern amongst each other.
Furthermore, numerous bizarre symbols faintly appeared within them.
Chen Huangpi solely took one look, and knew this was a teleportation formation.
Immediately following, Tai Yizi's voice rang out: "Yellow Skinned kid, come in quickly!"
Chen Huangpi blanked for a moment.
His mind instantly relaxed.
So much so that, that Yama's shadow fiercely trembled, shaking off all the Evil Eyes parasitizing its left arm.
Immediately following, this Yama's shadow fiercely smashed a punch towards that formation.
Boom!!!!!!
...
Inside Tai Yizi's house.
A flash of bloody light streaked past.
Chen Huangpi's figure holding the Brass Oil Lamp suddenly appeared.
"Pfft!!!!"
Tai Yizi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, directly paralyzing onto the ground.
Ever since Chen Huangpi executed that Grand Duke Demon Slaying sword qi.
Tai Yizi had been secretly observing everything happening outside.
He originally thought using the teleportation formation to bring Chen Huangpi inside would be fine.
Resulting in that Yama's shadow's punch directly blasting over across the formation. Although he had arranged an unknown number of formations in this room, it still caused him to suffer considerably heavy injuries.
"Tai Yizi, why did you help me?"
Chen Huangpi helped Tai Yizi up.
This Tai Yizi had said that he wouldn't open the door after nightfall, and told him not to go look for him, but to meet up again after daybreak.
But now, he suddenly intervened to save his life.
Tai Yizi said weakly: "Yellow Skinned kid, this old man very much regrets helping you now. That Yama's shadow's punch almost shattered this old man's Dao Foundation, even my immortal body was cracked."
"I will repay you in the future."
"No need for the future, you tell this old man right now, exactly what is your background."
Tai Yizi grabbed Chen Huangpi's hand, saying excitedly: "You know how to use Grand Sui Demon-Slaying, then you must be an inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult. Why didn't you acknowledge this elder previously? Did you think this old man was deceiving you?"
Chen Huangpi hesitated for a moment, saying: "I am not an inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult. That Grand Sui Demon-Slaying, is your Grand Sui Cult's dharma method?"
At the side, the Brass Oil Lamp cast a strange glance at the Life-Reaping Ghost.
The Life-Reaping Ghost's expression was similarly complex.
That Grand Sui Demon-Slaying and the Dog Rearing Scripture, were both Ancient Methods from the memories of Lin Ye and those several other cultivators.
Among them, Grand Sui Demon-Slaying only consisted of this single move.
The Dog Rearing Scripture on the other hand had the complete text.
All along, they had felt the Dog Rearing Scripture was insidious to the extreme, and instead the Grand Sui Demon-Slaying had never been taken to heart.
Because Chen Huangpi only liked to use this move when he first started cultivating.
Later on, as his strength became increasingly powerful, the might of the Grand Sui Demon-Slaying couldn't keep up, and was only useful occasionally when dealing with some small fries.
After all, Chen Huangpi's essential qi was endless.
With a wave of his hand, he could slash out tens of thousands of sword qi.
It was truly an excellent method for slaughter and clearing the field.
But listening to the meaning within this Tai Yizi's words, the Grand Sui Demon-Slaying was seemingly their Grand Sui Cult's dharma method.
"Yellow Skinned kid, you don't need to worry."
Tai Yizi coughed unceasingly, saying displeasedly: "This old man is an elder of the Grand Sui Cult, and you are an inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult. Even if you explain everything exactly as it is, this old man won't do anything to you, but will only protect you."
"But I really am not an inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult."
Chen Huangpi brought his sword fingers together, and a foot-long sword qi seeped out from his fingertips.
"This move, Grand Sui Demon-Slaying, I also obtained unintentionally."
"Yellow Skinned kid, you disappoint this old man far too much."
Tai Yizi said with indignation: "If one has the heart, my Grand Sui Cult's dharma methods can be found everywhere in the world. But if one is not an inheritor of my Grand Sui Cult, it is absolutely impossible to execute the Grand Sui Demon-Slaying."
"Slaying Demons, Executing Evil, Breaking Malice."
"This is the Grand Sui Cult's Three Ultimates Sword Array."
"If an ordinary person obtains it, even if they can understand reading it, and can learn to cultivate it, they also couldn't execute it, because they haven't inherited the Blood of Grand Sui."
The Blood of Grand Sui didn't refer to an actual item.
But rather the absolute core inheritance of the Grand Sui Cult. One needed to worship the Grand Sui at a specific time, specific location, and specific direction, in order to receive the Grand Sui's blessing.
The blessed individual would receive a drop of the Blood of Grand Sui.
That blood wasn't something substantive.
It was merely something that could be seen, touched, and only the blessed individual could feel its existence.
Possessing this drop of the Blood of Grand Sui, the inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult could then execute the various dharma methods of the Grand Sui Cult.
After listening to Tai Yizi finish.
Chen Huangpi couldn't help but not know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't have the Blood of Grand Sui within my body. As for that Grand Sui Demon-Slaying, present-day cultivators call it an Ancient Method. The moment I look at this Ancient Method I know how to use it, the moment I cultivate it I succeed, naturally I can execute it."
"Also, my name actually isn't Yellow Skinned kid."
"Previously seeing you act as Tai Yizi, I also casually made one up to deal with it."
"My surname is Chen, my name is Chen Huangpi."
The Brass Oil Lamp at the side also said: "Old man, you genuinely misunderstood. Your Grand Sui Cult was in the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty. The Great Qian Immortal Dynasty was sealed by Emperor Chen the moment the Heaven and Earth Mutation began, how could there possibly be an inheritor in the outside world."
"This old man doesn't believe it..."
Tai Yizi sneered coldly: "Since this immortal treasure of yours knows of Emperor Chen, doesn't that exactly prove that you guys came out from the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty?"
"Emperor Chen is my Eldest Uncle."
Chen Huangpi said helplessly: "We... How could I possibly not know him."
"Emperor Chen is your Eldest Uncle?"
Tai Yizi couldn't help but chuckle mockingly: "Yellow Skinned kid, although my Grand Sui Cult isn't considered close with that figure, we still obey his commands. If you are truly Emperor Chen's nephew, would the Grand Sui Cult let you out?"
Although Tai Yizi had been trapped in this ghost place since the Heaven and Earth Mutation.
And his own time had even been devoured many times.
But there was nothing wrong with his memory.
In the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, the surname Chen was the imperial surname. Emperor Chen had numerous nephews, but not just any nephew could address him as Eldest Uncle.
If this Chen Huangpi's Eldest Uncle was truly Emperor Chen.
Wouldn't the Grand Sui Cult offer him up and treat him like the future Sect Master?
"Yellow Skinned kid, it would be fine if you used these words to deceive others, others wouldn't know."
Tai Yizi said earnestly with good intentions: "But using it to deceive this old man is not right. You and this old man are both family of the Grand Sui Cult."
Chen Huangpi said somewhat irritably: "I didn't deceive you. My Eldest Uncle is truly Emperor Chen, and I am not an inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult, I don't have any Blood of Grand Sui."
"Also, the Dao Lord you're looking for is exactly my Master."
"Shush!!!"
Tai Yizi's expression drastically changed, saying nervously: "Yellow Skinned kid, you absolutely cannot just sprout these words. This old man believes your Eldest Uncle is Emperor Chen, and also believes you aren't an inheritor of the Grand Sui Cult. As for the matter of the Dao Lord, don't mention it ever again in the future."
"You bring up Emperor Chen; Emperor Chen attends to myriad affairs daily, he wouldn't mind this kind of small matter."
"It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge the Grand Sui Cult; the Grand Sui Cult acknowledges you."
"But the Dao Lord... treat it like this old man never heard these words."
"Right, how come you kid only know a single move, the Grand Sui Demon-Slaying."
Tai Yizi said with some hesitation: "Slaying Demons, Executing Evil, Breaking Malice, this is the Three Ultimates Sword Array. With your cultivation, logically speaking, you should have already mastered the Four Symbols, Five Elements, Eight Extremities, and Ten-Direction Life and Death Killing Arrays, as well as the changes of Yin and Yang."
"Does the Grand Sui Cult have this many dharma methods?"
"My Grand Sui Cult is at any rate one of the three Great Cults of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty. What do mere dharma methods amount to? What makes the Grand Sui Cult formidable isn't its dharma methods, but the Ultimate Treasure Suppressing the Cult."
Chen Huangpi's eyes lit up as he said: "Is our Grand Sui Cult that formidable? There's even an ultimate treasure."
Tai Yizi sneered mockingly: "You kid are putting on an act with this old man again. That ultimate treasure is precisely the Grand Sui Killing Sword you saw when bestowing you the Blood of Grand Sui."
"Back then the Sect Master held this sword and engaged in a dharma battle with that existence, completely holding out for three hundred moves before suffering defeat."
When bringing up past events, even Tai Yizi subconsciously puffed out his chest, saying proudly: "The one that suffered defeat was the Sect Master, not the Grand Sui Killing Sword. That existence even once explicitly stated that if the Grand Sui Killing Sword met a more suitable Sword Master, it would unleash its strongest might."
"Then is that Grand Sui Killing Sword still in our Cult?"
"The replica is still there."
"Then what about the real one?"
"The real one?"
Tai Yizi said with some lamentation: "The real one was naturally taken away by a more suitable Sword Master, and its name was even changed from Grand Sui Killing Sword to Dòngzhēn. However, our Grand Sui Cult privately only acknowledges its original name."
Hearing these words, Chen Huangpi said in stupefaction: "So, the existence that defeated the Grand Sui Cult's Sect Master, took the Grand Sui Killing Sword away?"
Tai Yizi sighed saying: "That figure already said a more suitable Sword Master. Under the heavens, who else could be more suitable than that figure?"
Chen Huangpi cast a glance at the Brass Oil Lamp.
He solely saw the Brass Oil Lamp completely dumbfounded, with an expression as if it had seen a ghost.
"Fuck me, so that sword of Guanzhu's was actually also snatched!"
