Chapter 65: Blood Red

It turns out that these people with the blood of the Ancestor Spirit are hiding underground? They ran out of the houses, and there weren’t many of them, just a hundred or so. This is the hidden strength of this town, right?

Perhaps the people of this town have been enduring for them until the old man returns.

At the end of the street, the ten old men who had stood up formed a strange formation. Their steps began to move rhythmically, and the exaggerated movements were full of a strange kind of rhythmic beauty… And the townspeople who had run out of the basement also began to quickly gather, not knowing what to do.

Faced with this scene, Yazi was unusually calm, but instead stared at the poor, strange soul that was walking step by step. He turned to another person who was suspected of being the Holy King and whispered, “It seems that our contribution will be even greater.”

I couldn’t hear this clearly in the noisy town, so I guessed it from Jiezi’s mouth.

More credit? He was referring to the soul of Qiongqi? At this point, it was no longer something that Master and I could interfere with. We could only hide in the crowd and watch quietly. The crowd, which had been obediently silent, finally began to rebel at this time. This rebellion was not fierce at first, but it was not known who took the lead and began to push desperately to get out.

The power of one person may be able to make these subordinates ignore it, but when the power of a group of people erupts, these subordinates also begin to be pushed around.

My master and I did not do this on purpose, but were just being led by the crowd and moving back and forth, engaging in a strange struggle with these subordinates. Just now, because of the incident with the little boy, I had been pushed to the front, but now I could not retreat. If I broke through the so-called “defensive line,” my master and I would be the first to be pushed out.

At this time, Jiazhi was staring at Qiongqi and the Holy King behind him, so he didn’t give any orders to the subordinates. When the surging of the crowd became more intense, one of the subordinates couldn’t help but turn around and hit the person in front of him with the butt of his gun.

Suddenly, the person who was pushing in front of him fell to the ground, covered in blood, and was immediately picked up by the people behind him.

The blood of the people of Xiangxi was finally ignited by this scene. The people of this town did not need to endure anything. I don’t know which man pulled a curved knife from his body and shouted a sentence in Miao. Then, I saw a defenseless subordinate being stabbed in the abdomen by the curved knife…

This is truly a miracle. A cultivator was stabbed by an ordinary person, or rather, because the people of this town had been too restrained before, these subordinates never expected that they would fight back so fiercely, that they would use knives to attack, and that they would attack without hesitation. They were stabbed by a knife without being prepared.

“These people are crazy, kill them.” Perhaps stimulated by the blood, the subordinate was enraged and could not help but roar, then turned around first and began to attack the people of the town first.

I noticed that there wasn’t much blood flowing from the place where the subordinate was stabbed, but a little bit of semi-solid dark red blood oozed out, which looked very strange.

I knew in my heart that this was the man Yang Sheng had transformed… and when he attacked, he was very fierce, directly grabbing the man from the town who had stabbed him. I saw blood spray up as he tore off the man’s arm.

The man from the town roared in fear, but he was not afraid of the strange power that caused the strange things. He also roared in fear, “We will sacrifice our blood to the ancestral spirits. Our souls will be protected by them. Our hatred will be dispersed by their minions. What are we afraid of sacrificing?”

His words successfully incited the people in the town. The pent-up blood was ignited in an instant, and the entire town, men and women alike, responded to this man by roaring… Then I felt a wave of power that neither my master nor I could resist surging from behind us. It was the people behind us trying to break out of the encirclement… At this time, The man who had lost an arm was completely crazy. He roared and rushed towards the subordinate, grabbed the handle of the knife that was still stuck in the subordinate’s stomach, and then, with what could be described as a force of will, desperately stabbed the knife deeper into the subordinate’s stomach.

I got goosebumps on my back… What kind of madness is this? If I’m not mistaken, the man was still repeatedly and laboriously turning the handle of the knife. He was willing to risk his own life and kill.

This may be the “ruthlessness” of the people of Xiangxi, which, once it erupts, cannot be stopped.

It was chaotic, completely chaotic. More and more defenses were broken, and the subordinates and people in the town were fighting in a mess… At this time, Jiazhi finally spoke. His voice was still so strange. It was not very loud, but it spread throughout the town.

“Old man, are you really going to fight to the death? If you consider handing over ten people with the strongest bloodline of the Ancestor Wushen, plus letting us take this poor and strange remnant soul, your town can still be preserved.”

At this time, Jiazhi was still thinking about making a deal, as if the chaos of the town fighting in an instant had no effect on him at all. In his eyes, this credit was probably very important.

“No deal. I never wanted to save the town. If the fish die, the net will break. Our children and grandchildren have never been afraid of dying in battle. It is better to die in battle than to be taken away by you. You bandits, do you think I don’t know? You have already quietly taken away at least five of our people from the town.” The old man coldly rejected Jiezi’s proposal.

I didn’t expect the old man to be so decisive, and he had a rather strong impulse to disregard the consequences… Perhaps I can understand that before, on the mountain, it was his time to hesitate. Since he had already come down the mountain, he was prepared to die with the net.

“If that’s the case, then…” Jiazhi raised his hand at this point. I knew that this was Jiazhi’s decision to go shopping, and the holy king behind him did not object at all.

It was a bright sunny day, and the streets were white with snow… At this time, the ten old men were running fast, almost gathering together, with the chanting of the “Great God” spell, and the breathing of the people in the town with the blood of the ancestral gods.

The sound of ordinary people in the town fighting and killing with Yazi’s subordinates.

Some people had already fallen, their bodies covered in blood, unable to get up again… They were ordinary people from the town. Even if Yang Sheng’s subordinates did not use their powers, how could ordinary people possibly stand a chance against them? The people of this town were able to temporarily create a stalemate situation by relying on their numerical superiority and a sense of blood.

Against this backdrop, the poor, broken soul that calmly walked down the street was still the same. Its mouth occasionally opened and closed, and the broken soul it was holding was swallowed by it.

Its eyes were so indifferent… as if all this chaos had nothing to do with it.

Jiazi looked at the old man with a sneer and squinted, but not at him, but at the poor soul of the Qiongqi… Then he put down his hand without hesitation, and then the town echoed with his shout: “Shoot me, shoot the bullets in the gun, and if there is one left, kill him! After shooting, don’t worry about anything, kill, kill, kill…”

A madman… an absolute madman, how could he give such an order! A town, over a thousand lives! Even if Yang Sheng is capable, can he handle such a big matter? After all, there are many ordinary people here, and this is no longer an internal conflict within the circle of cultivators, but a matter that has violated the power of the state. If it is exposed and not suppressed, the consequences…

The possibility of exposure is very high. After all, there is still a temporary government office here… Do they want to see the entire town being bloodied when they go to work?

So, I said that Jiazhi was an absolute madman, but behind this, if you think about it carefully… there is definitely the shadow of Yang Sheng in it. Thinking about Yang Sheng’s style of doing things, I think the craziest person should be Yang Sheng!

Jiazi gave the order, and those subordinates who had already gone crazy completely went crazy. They no longer smashed things with the butt of a gun, but instead raised their guns…

At this time, the poor Qi remnant, who had been calmly ‘walking’ and had not made a move, suddenly stopped, and for the first time, his cold eyes met Jiazhi’s eyes… Then, without a sound, an explosive aura instantly ‘exploded’ from Qi Qi’s body… Qi Qi’s body moved.

I couldn’t capture its speed even with my third eye open… But I could see that just now, the fiery energy, with a strong sense of killing intent, burst out of Qiongqi’s body. This energy was so fierce that when it exploded, it immediately became a storm of energy, swirling and enveloping the subordinates from all directions. Then Qiongqi’s figure disappeared.

Is this the legendary spirit power of the beast? It is absolutely overwhelming… I remembered that I was still fighting with it this morning, and my heart couldn’t help but tighten.

Ordinary people may feel the presence of Qiongqi in the unusual aura, and I believe the people in this town have a special way of sensing it. But at this moment, the whirlwind in the middle of the ground is already an indescribably oppressive and terrifying scene.

At this time, my master and I had already been pushed back to the “defensive line” and were taking advantage of the chaos to hide in a corner and observe everything. It was not yet the right time to retreat unharmed, but we were finally being targeted.
