Chapter 114: One against a hundred
On the platform, a murderous atmosphere had reached a critical point.
A dazzling flash of lightning accompanied the torrential rain that fell again, like the prelude to everything.
At that moment, I raised the metal rod in my hand high in the air, and Master Hui let out a roar. King Kong used the force of the falling rain to propel him forward… Then, my master’s shout of “Open” echoed throughout the platform.
I have forgotten what kind of battle it was. Fists, shadows of sticks, flesh, and screams… I and Master Hui, who had pushed ourselves to the limit, were no longer just defending in front of my master and the others, but had rushed into the black-robed people to fight. In the square meter or so of open space around us, a “vacuum” zone had formed, because everything close by had been completely destroyed.
The bodies were strewn about, and the heavy rain washed the black, sticky blood stains into red blood water, filling the entire platform with a strange, pungent smell of decay and blood.
This unpleasant smell stimulated my entire nervous system, making me feel that the volcano in my heart had completely erupted, and now all I needed was a good time.
My eyes were bloodshot from killing, but compared to me, Master Hui was still able to maintain a calm demeanor. The only difference was that the murderous intent in him was becoming more and more intense, and the shadow of the Vajra was becoming more and more lifelike.
That gave me the illusion that the angry Vajra was formed by a strong killing intent. The more evil it killed, the more solid it became.
In this most wild battle, I thought it was already the limit of the magnificent, but my master showed me another kind of magic.
At that moment, I heard the most distant sound of a cave opening, ancient and full of vicissitudes, as if it came from the years stretching out a squeaky sound… The sound was not loud, and it was even a little hidden, deliberately low-key and vague, but it was like hitting the heart.
At that moment, the metal rod in my hand, which had been deformed by the most intense fighting, was being inserted into the chest of a black-robed man, crushing the spine and piercing through… At that moment, Master Hui was holding a black-robed man in one hand, roaring, and slamming their heads together, and then in the air, the two heads exploded into the bloodiest “fireworks”…
At that time, the necromancers in black robes, who had been watching the battle, were also moving their steps step by step, preparing to join the battle… Unintentionally, the originally dense group of black-robed people had been scattered by me and Master Hui.
As for the people in green robes, many of their magic skills have reached a limit and are about to explode…
But with the sound of the ancient gate opening, everything seemed to come to a halt in that second.
Mr. Hui and I turned our heads at the same time, and the movements of the black-robed people seemed to have been frozen at that moment. The advanced corpse-refiners stopped, and the magic that had been ready to be used also appeared to have a strange, lingering stagnation at that moment…
“What is that?” I couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, and my whole mind was lost in a state of confusion.
In my eyes, a picture appeared. The mysterious door was opened, but only half-opened. Compared to the size of the door, the gap or half-opening was not even a fraction of it.
A strong wind blew out from the middle of the door, rolling back and immediately dispersing the wind that had appeared on the platform due to the use of magic… The wind was extremely fast, and it immediately filled the entire platform. When it blew past me and Master Hui, my blood-boiling body involuntarily raised a fine, dense goose bumps.
It was cold, extremely cold… cold to the bone and soul! This was all I could feel… At first, I immediately recognized it as the cold wind of the underworld, the real cold wind of the underworld!
The master was still standing under the door, his whole body clasping his hands in a gesture, and the wind behind him blowing his clothes fluttering. At that moment, he had a sense of control over everything.
It was always Master, no matter how far I had come in following in your footsteps… You were always able to leave me with a back view, telling me that you were still the person who could protect me from a young age, someone I could rely on even if I didn’t have to.
“What the hell is this?” I couldn’t help but ask again.
Master Hui dropped the two corpses in his hands and whispered, “The Wu lineage, the ultimate peak of the spirit summoning technique, the Gate of Ghosts. It can also be said to be the ultimate spirit summoning technique that combines the techniques of the lower mausoleum!”
“What does that mean?” I couldn’t help but ask. Why was my master using the top-level Wu-style magic? What was the magic that combined the lower-level magic with the top-level magic? My brain wasn’t enough.
“Just keep reading and you’ll understand,” said Master Hui, who was probably having a hard time explaining it.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black and blue hand grabbed the crack in the door. With the appearance of that hand, everything that had seemed to be paused on the platform just now was restored at this moment… Another lightning bolt flashed, and the wind blew again.
Among the various methods, the fastest thunder spell was the first to be used, and a thunderbolt roared and mercilessly split the position where the master was standing.
“No!” I yelled, and I couldn’t help but run towards it.
But a hand next to me stopped me. I looked back and saw that Master Hui was looking over there with a relaxed expression, and then casually said to me, “A bolt of lightning? What’s that?”
What is a bolt of lightning? For a mortal body, a bolt of lightning is already a limitless existence. I know this best because when I arrived here, I was almost killed by a bolt of lightning.
At that moment of conversation, I was shocked to see why Master Hui was so relaxed. At that moment, a howl of madness resounded throughout the platform. I was shaken to the core by this howl, because I had often used the art of the lower world before, and of course knew what this howl meant.
That was the most senior of the ghosts I could summon with the lower-level Taoist techniques—the Ghost King!
Yes, that was the unique howl of the Ghost King… This feeling of being shocked to the limit made me turn around and look. In the time it took me to say a few words to Master Hui, a huge illusory being had already come out of that door.
A blue-faced demon with fangs, a huge body of blue-black color, a body full of power, this is the most common type of ghost king, the powerful ghost king!
This power refers to the extraordinary concentration of spiritual power, and the meaning of an invincible spirit.
At that moment, the lightning bolt that fell was absorbed by the ghost king, which is why it let out such a thunderous roar…!
“Go!” At this moment, the expression on the master’s face was no longer the usual wretched, indifferent look. His face, full of a messy beard, looked so dignified and serious… He shouted, “Go!” The ghost king, who had endured the lightning, roared and rushed towards the group of people in blue robes.
“This…” I can no longer express my shock in words. It turns out that magic can be used like this.
But this was far from the end. One after another, ghosts and spirits rushed out of the mysterious gate, and the ghost king, ghost generals, and ghost soldiers… all of a sudden, hundreds of them came pouring out.
At this time, the sky also burst out the most magnificent “fireworks” I had expected. There was lightning and thunder, the wind was blowing wildly, and I didn’t know where the little sparks fell from. There were also all kinds of “existences” that the people in green robes had invited, including the ghost heads, etc. … all of a sudden, they filled the entire platform.
“My old Li lineage, one against a hundred, what is not possible, what is not possible? Hahaha…” The door behind the master slowly closed, the master put away his hand gestures, his hands behind his back, his eyes wide open, suddenly shouting a wild cry, followed by a burst of hearty laughter.
Inevitably, various magical techniques appeared around Master Hui and I, but we were also surrounded by two ghost generals and several ghost soldiers, who helped us resist all of this.
Yes, I, a man of the Li family, can fight a hundred with one.
I laughed a few times with my master. At this moment, the volcano in my heart felt a sense of relief. I threw away the metal rod in my hand and suddenly used my head to knock open a black-robed person who was close by!
Yes, that’s it! My Li family is one against a hundred!
