Chapter 119
What Zhang Liang unleashed was the Tianyou Curse, one of the Curses of the Four Arctic Saints, belonging to Marshal Tianyou.
Its purpose was to slaughter all evil spirits and demons.
Black fog churned, and bleak clouds gathered overhead.
Within the roiling mist, a ferocious divine idol could be faintly seen:
Four arms grew from its shoulders, three heads rose from its neck, and it wore golden armor while gripping halberds and spears.
But the entire idol was drenched in blood, its face twisted into a hideous snarl.
It had none of the sacred majesty and solemnity of the true Marshal Tianyou, wreathed in drifting purple qi.
Chang Huaiyuan, stung by shame into courage, reacted the fastest.
“Vile beast! How dare you show disrespect to the young master physician!”
White mist spread everywhere. A giant Jiao more than thirty meters long rose into the air, two bulges swelling from its head, its whole body shimmering with five-colored light, its four feet sharp as blades.
It charged straight in front of Hua Jiunan, blocking the divine idol rushing toward him.
Old Sixth Hui knew exactly how formidable Zhang Liang was.
Although Zhang Liang had been grievously wounded by the Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method, he had, after all, once been the prospective sect leader of the Taiping Sect.
On top of that, he had used ten thousand living people as sacrificial offerings for over a thousand years. By now, he had become a fierce deity in his own right.
“Huaiyuan, don’t rush in! I’ll help you!”
Only by combining the strength of the Chang Immortal and the Gray Immortal could they barely hold back that vicious manifestation of a righteous deity.
Even then, it was only a stalemate. They could not destroy it.
Seeing how dangerous things had become, Eighth Master Chang began slowly backing away again.
Chen Daji hurriedly tried to stop him, instinctively blurting out the command he used when driving a donkey cart.
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!”
“Eighth Master, don’t put it in reverse at a time like this!”
“Watch me deal with him!”
After saying that, Chen Daji decisively punched himself in the nose with a bang.
Blood sprayed everywhere as he kept firing his slingshot at Zhang Liang’s spell.
But seeing the combined strength of Chang Huaiyuan and Old Sixth Hui still being pushed back by the Tianyou Curse, Chen Daji fired his slingshot while howling at the top of his lungs.
“Holy crap, screw your uncle! Don’t come any closer!”
And would you believe it? Chen Daji’s attacks were shockingly effective.
Each time a bloodstained pebble struck the divine idol, it thinned a little.
After several dozen shots, the idol was actually worn down by him until it vanished completely!
The sight left everyone utterly stunned.
They involuntarily stopped fighting and all turned to stare at Chen Daji in unison.
That, however, made Chen Daji lose confidence.
He first carefully checked himself over. He hadn’t exposed anything. His pants were still on…
“Big Brother, all of you keep fighting. Don’t mind me.”
“I’ll just stroll around here for a bit, then head home on my own…”
Inside the Ghost Sedan, Hemp-clad Grandmother pondered to herself:
Could this little brat be no ordinary person either?
An ordinary Pure Yang Body shouldn’t be this domineering before beginning cultivation!
Should I hurry up and have him slit his throat, then follow this old woman in cultivation?…
At that moment, Zhang Liang was practically exploding with rage.
No matter what, he had never expected that after sleeping for a thousand years and finally emerging into the world, he would run into such a massive lineup:
Not only had General Li Guang come in person, and not only had all five great spirit mediums gathered, there were also Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji, two fellows who simply refused to play by common sense!
In his life, Zhang Liang had experienced countless battles.
But had you ever seen anyone open a fight by throwing out their ultimate move?
Had you ever seen anyone use a slingshot to fight ghosts?
The key was, this slingshot was absurdly powerful!
At that thought, the fierce deity erupted completely.
He pointed his Copper Coin Sword toward the sky with his right hand, while his left hand shook the Soul-Summoning Banner with all his might.
“The blue heavens are dead. The yellow heavens shall rise.”
“Jiao God, if you will not emerge now, then when will you?”
“By the law, swift as command!”
As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from beneath the ground.
The sound was so loud it was almost like the roar of a helicopter.
In the blink of an eye, countless strange insects flew out from underground.
They had human-like faces, bodies covered in tiger-like yellow stripes, and a length of intestine dangling from their legs.
They were none other than the Jiao Worms that had once bitten the ancient tomb workers to death.
The moment these Jiao Worms appeared, they immediately threw themselves at everyone indiscriminately.
Packed so densely together, they made one’s skin crawl.
Yet faced with these terrifying things, the great spirit medium Immortal Spirits did not panic in the slightest.
They even exchanged glances and smiled faintly.
Hu Qingshan, the Hu Family Patriarch, spoke in a clear voice.
“We’ll have to trouble you, Brother Yuchan.”
As soon as Hu Qingshan finished speaking, a voice like a cracked gong came from beneath the ground.
“Hu Big Brother, you’re too polite!”
“Being able to help the young master physician and you five patriarchs is an honor for our toad clan.”
As he spoke, a toad the size of a bathtub led countless toads and frogs up out of the earth.
They launched an attack on the Jiao Worms in midair.
The dense swarm of Jiao Worms was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
The book quietly notes:
Having heard Hua Jiunan talk about the Jiao Worms long ago, how could the spirit medium Immortal Spirits possibly have been unprepared?
That was why they had arranged for the toad clan to hide here in advance, all for the sake of dealing with them.
