Chapter 932: Netherworld Hound
"Go! Guys, kill these underworld officers! Take the Book of Life and Death! This place will be ours!" With that, Yuan Er led the charge into the city.
To Bai Lingmiao's surprise, the divine skills used by these Xinsu were mostly not the cultivation capabilities of Xinsu, but rather the bizarre and varied divine skills from other sects.
These Xinsu were just like Li Huowang, learning things from other places.
Seeing a continuous stream of underworld soldiers pouring out, Bai Lingmiao's suspicions deepened. "There's Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence here, and this Fengdu City, could this really be the underworld?"
"If there truly is an underworld, then wouldn't my family be here?"
However, seeing the battle raging at the city gate, Bai Lingmiao quickly refocused, pulling out a human bone rosary from her bosom.
She slowly closed her eyes, chanting Buddhist scriptures from the Zhong Yin Temple with a compassionate look, slowly rotating the human bone rosary made of eyebrow-shaped bones in her hand.
With each twist of the rosary in her hand, ghost messengers with fatal wounds died instantly in the distance.
During Bai Lingmiao's chanting pauses, Second God took control of her lower body.
Her half-beast face cracked into a grin, black fingernails fiercely drumming on the bone drum. "Feet on the ground, head to the sky! Wearing a woven robe, holding a whip! First drive the red, then the yellow, driving the spirit mongoose with the mourning king!"
As her entire flesh quickly merged with various beasts, organs extended from her body, Second God moved with back-jointed legs, charging forward, leaving a trail of blood and carnage.
Underworld officers and ghost generals kept coming from Fengdu City, but Yuan Er and the others, looking at the corpses on the ground, seemed hopeful and pushed harder in their use of divine skills.
As the bodies around piled up higher and higher, a judge with half a menacing face and half a decayed one floated over on the wind.
The spell abruptly stopped, Second God looked in surprise at the giant judge towering above humans. "There's really a judge, this ghostly place is looking more and more like the underworld."
Hearing this, Bai Lingmiao's chanting paused briefly, but she quickly resumed, turning the rosary and chanting again.
When the judge settled on a roof of a gloomy house, glaring down below with eyeless sockets, he bellowed theatrically: "Hmph~! How unreasonable!!"
With that, he raised his judge's pen, swiftly sketching on the dark purple book in his hand.
As he sketched, the corpses scattered all around suddenly revived, standing up again to surround Bai Lingmiao and the others.
Unaware, Bai Lingmiao's chanting stopped, she opened her mouth in shock, watching the Book of Life and Death in the judge's hand.
"It's real, everything they said is true! That's the real Book of Life and Death! With that, I can bring the whole village back to life!"
"Grab it!" With Second God's shout, both Xinsu and Bai Lu abandoned their surrounding foes, rushing towards the judge.
"Hmph!" The judge looked at these people with a disdainful expression, lifting his judge's pen, he gazed at one person, and with a gentle stroke in the Book of Life and Death, a Bai Lu suddenly stiffened and fell dead.
As he turned his gaze to the bearded Xinsu, about to mark the Book of Life and Death again, Bai Lingmiao appeared before him.
As the judge's pen fell, Bai Lingmiao simultaneously tapped the Xinsu on the head.
As the pen lifted, the bearded Xinsu stood there intact, soul unwritten by the Book of Life and Death.
When someone attempts to tamper with another's death, as the Fate Commander of death, Heart Pan, Bai Lingmiao would find it disgraceful if she couldn't stop it.
"Don't fear! While I'm here, he can't alter your life and death! Hurry, seize the Book of Life and Death!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became reckless, charging towards the judge harder.
Many even abandoned defense, letting the underworld officers strike them, since they couldn't die in this place.
Continuing to sketch on the Book of Life and Death, seeing no effect, the judge on the rooftop panicked, immediately floating up, preparing to retreat and reassess.
"Old immortal arrives, don't forget the Three Treasures, treasures thrice! Immortal Lock, Fairy Rope, with Soul-Sealing Bottle after! Toss the three treasures at you, if not held tight, kick with feet, if not bound, step fully!"
The drumbeat abruptly paused, Second God raised the drum whip with force, swung it towards the judge in the sky, then pulled it down vigorously.
Subsequently, the judge seemed to genuinely be pulled by something, losing control and falling.
As the judge landed, trying to get up but already too late, in the distance the Bai Lus threw their Saintess high up and towards here.
Second God laughed maniacally, charging up, thrusting black fingernails into the judge's cheeks, tearing fiercely, ripping apart the judge's entire jaw.
As Second God acted, Bai Lingmiao was not idle, she reached out and grabbed the judge's Book of Life and Death, pulling hard.
When she snatched the taller-than-herself Book of Life and Death, feeling its heavy weight in her arms, Bai Lingmiao couldn't help but cry, surely bringing her family back!
Yet the ensuing scene took them all by surprise, as the underworld officers retreated like tides, another judge holding a Book of Life and Death slowly floated down.
However, it wasn't over, on another side, yet another judge with a Book of Life and Death floated down.
Judges continued to appear one after another, once everything settled, nine new judges stood before them.
Looking at the Book of Life and Death in her arms, then at those in the judges' hands, Bai Lingmiao cried out: "What the hell is going on!"
"The Ten Courts of King Yama naturally have ten judges! You didn't know?" Yuan Er, with a very grim expression, hurried over with the Xinsu.
"Who told you there are ten judges?"
"Naturally, my grandmother told me, and all the old folks in the village say so, how come you don't know about something so basic?"
Hearing this, a terrifying guess took hold in Bai Lingmiao's mind, causing her body to tremble violently.
"I wronged you before, didn't expect you indeed to handle it, if one judge can be dealt with, surely nine can too, right?" Yuan Er gripped his magic artifact tightly, asking.
Second God immediately understood Bai Lingmiao's thoughts, looking at Yuan Er to remind: "Nine judges we can certainly handle, but I'm just afraid of the Netherworld hound in the underworld!"
"Netherworld hound?"
