Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 38: Trapped in a Barrier! The Ominous Object Attacks!_1
Xie Jiu was startled and quickly looked up into the sky. He remembered that when he was chasing the Destiny Coffin earlier... the night sky was dotted with stars, and the moon was also very bright.
But the problem was... the night sky was now pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
The surroundings were excessively silent.
No sound of cicadas could be heard.
No barking of dogs could be heard.
Nor could one hear the sound of conversations from the houses nearby.
The entire inn seemed to be isolated, as if the night was a vast sea.
And this inn was the only small boat in this vast sea.
There was no beauty in this scene.
It only made one’s flesh creep!
Every hair on one’s body stood on end!
A sinister premonition shrouded his mind, Xie Jiu had already taken out all the tools he carried with him.
His expression was grave and unpleasant, "This time, we chased the Destiny Coffin a bit too hastily and didn’t bring many talismans and magic artifacts with us, it was rash."
Although he had not seen the enemy and had not sensed much activity, Xie Jiu was still so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
Sweat oozed out of the palms of his hands.
It dampened the few talismans he was clutching slightly.
Next to him, Shen Ji Yue was closing her eyes, sensing something.
Soon, she opened her eyes.
Her complexion was no better looking than Xie Jiu’s.
Shen Ji Yue gripped the Xuanhua Axe tightly, her vigilant gaze wandering around Willow Alley, and said, "It’s like we’ve been forcibly pulled into a special sinister formation, unable to communicate with the outside world in here. I can’t call the others from the Divine Path Hundred Kills for the time being."
"In the dark, that unknown enemy... this time, the target is most likely the Destiny Coffin! We cannot afford to lose the Destiny Coffin. We must give it our all, even if it costs us our lives!"
Xie Jiu nodded, he was not afraid to die; he was an orphan taken in by the Divine Path Hundred Kills.
If he had to repay the Divine Path Hundred Kills with his life right now, he could crush his own throat without hesitation!
Just as he was about to say something...
Anomalies suddenly occurred!
The candles that had extinguished for some reason now lit up again. But the rekindled candles were no longer orange-yellow, but a somewhat festive bright red.
Gusts of Yin Energy blew up out of nowhere, making the less-cultivated Xie Jiu stagger.
Xie Jiu quickly steadied himself, and as if sensing something, he looked towards one side of Willow Alley.
All of a sudden!
His pupils contracted!
A wedding procession decked out in celebration appeared from one end of Willow Alley out of nowhere.
Each ’person’ had a pale face like paper, holding a long pole upright in their arms, with a big red lantern hanging on top of each pole.
On the big red lanterns, ’people’ used papercut, cut a double happiness character, and affixed it on them.
A few ’palanquin bearers’ carried a festive red bridal sedan chair, humming a very creepy tune in unison.
What made one’s scalp tingle was that the sedan chair the ’palanquin bearers’ were carrying turned out to be a coffin that looked very much like a bridal sedan!
The coffin was wrapped with festive red cloths with embroidered flowers.
Just like a real wedding procession.
They were not walking but ’floating’ towards the direction of the inn, advancing slowly.
Haunting and inexplicable!!
"Hiss!!!"
"Ominous!!"
After Xie Jiu drew a breath of cold air, he immediately thought of something and was just about to turn around.
However, Shen Ji Yue’s voice interrupted his turning motion.
"No need to look back; there’s one on the other side too. This side is the bride coming to be wed, or should I say..." Shen Ji Yue spoke solemnly, "This side... is the Ghost Bride coming for the wedding."
Shen Ji Yue’s gaze was fixed in that direction, standing there were also a group of ’people’ with very pale faces.
They were stationed on both sides of Willow Alley.
In the middle was a big red bridal sedan chair.
The curtains of the big red bridal sedan were drawn, but one could still vaguely see a fluttering silhouette inside, emitting a creepy Yin Energy.
Chilling!
Trembling!
The bridal procession seemed to stir because it had seen the arrival of the welcoming procession.
Pale-faced "people" on both sides lifted the big red palanquin and moved toward the welcoming procession.
And the inn right behind Xie Jiu and Shen Ji Yue was exactly at the point where the two processions were about to meet!
"I am Shen Ji Yue from the General Banner of the Heavenly Order!"
Shen Ji Yue cleared her mind of distractions, her eyes had become incredibly sharp.
She clenched the Xuanhua Axe and shouted fiercely, "The Destiny Coffin belongs to the Heavenly Order! Whoever dares to touch the Destiny Coffin, I will make sure their soul is scattered and annihilated!"
Her warning seemed to have no effect.
The entrances to Willow Alley were completely blocked, with two groups of malevolent ghosts with dense Yin Energy surging forth.
Their purpose was clear!
They weren’t afraid of warnings either!
"...Damn!"
Seeing that even invoking the name of the Heavenly Order was useless, Shen Ji Yue turned to Xie Jiu and said in a condensed voice, "You deal with the Ghost Groom, I’ll handle the Ghost Bride!"
"Mhm." Xie Jiu, though aware that the prospects were grim, had no choice but to brace himself for the confrontation.
Since the other party knew the name of the Heavenly Order and showed no sign of backing down... it meant that tonight’s battle was unavoidable!
Seeing a large group of evil ghosts about to strike, Xie Jiu didn’t bother with pleasantries and took the initiative to attack!
In a disadvantageous position, if he didn’t strike first...
He might not have another chance to act!
Xie Jiu had already grabbed a stack of talismans, his hands immediately forming a seal. As he moved his hands, the clear sound of a bell rang out distinctly in the quiet night.
That was because an ancient copper bell was tied to the little finger of his right hand. Whenever he moved his finger, the bell would chime.
The sound of the bell brought further clarity to Xie Jiu’s mind.
The Mana within his body became even more active.
His fingertips were already surrounded by a faint Mana fluctuation.
This turned out to be a Magic Artifact!
"The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord taught me to slay ghosts!" Xie Jiu murmured under his breath, but this sentence was shouted out loud.
The next moment!
The stack of talismans in his hand ignited, simultaneously bursting out with a dazzling golden light! The golden light, as if with the power to destroy all in its path, was sent flying towards the crowd of evil ghosts!
The evil ghosts, which were approaching silently, finally made another move.
A few of the ghosts carrying big red lanterns immediately flew in front of the large palanquin.
They raised the big red lanterns together.
The lanterns lit up with a ghastly green flame in the blink of an eye, and the rolling Yin Energy condensed into a thick wall of mist, forming a huge shield in front of the palanquin.
The golden light struck against the wall of Yin Energy mist!
Instantly!
The wall of Yin Energy mist seemed to melt away like butter in a warm stream, rapidly dissolving with a "sizzling" sound!
The golden light also quickly dimmed.
Just as the golden light finally broke through the wall of mist and was about to strike the large palanquin...
"Disperse!"
A voice that made one’s hair stand on end rang out.
Merely uttering one word, the already dimmed golden light directly dispersed!
Seeing this, Xie Jiu immediately bit his tongue, which had just healed, and a mouthful of blood filled with Yang Energy from his tongue tip was spat out by him.
His index and middle fingers were both smeared with the blood from his tongue.
Xie Jiu used his own blood as ink, tracing through the air with dragon and phoenix-like flourishes!
His hands immediately formed a seal, "Divine Path Hundred Kills—So decreed!"
"Imperative!!!"
