Chapter 735: If I Don’t Go to Hell, Who Will?!
“Mr. Ye is… dead?”
Yuan Qitai and the rest felt like they were struck by lightning and almost fainted.
Plop!
Shi Qianhan knelt on one knee, his body twitching uncontrollably, “Brother Ye, have a safe journey!”
Luo Tianya took a deep breath in before closing his eyes in pain. His fists were tightly clenched.
“You bastard!”
A furious roar rang out, and Xiao Yuanjing glared at the two of them, “Who asked you to send him flying out of the ghost ship? You deserve to die!”
The reason why he wanted to kill Ye Chen was to eliminate future troubles. Most importantly, Ye Chen had the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet. It had got something to do with the Xiao Clan’s plan for the past hundred years!
Now that Ye Chen had been thrown into the black fog, he naturally lost the whereabouts of the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet completely. How could he not be furious?
“Despicable!”
Luo Tianya raised his eyes and locked onto Xiao Yuanjing with an extremely cold gaze, “If it weren’t for your man ambushing Brother Ye from behind, how could he have flown out of the ghost ship?”
“Xiao Yuanjing!”
Shi Qianhan roared as killing intent surged in his eyes, “We’ve already accomplished our mission. You should at least hand over Yu’er to me, right?”
If it were not for Yu’er, why would he be threatened? He would not have attacked Ye Chen either. At that moment, he wished he could tear Xiao Yuanjing into pieces.
Xiao Yuanjing felt a chill run down his spine when he met their gazes. However, he still smirked coldly and said, “I only asked you to kill Ye. I didn’t ask you to send him flying. You guys upset me, so how could I satisfy you guys?”
Boom…
Luo Tianya took a step forward, and his might shook the heavens, “Are you going back on your word?”
Xiao Yuanjing immediately denied, “Don’t worry. As long as I leave the ghost ship alive, I will naturally let Luo Shuiyao go!”
Although Ye Chen was dead now, he knew very well that he had offended Luo Tianya and Shi Qianhan at the same time. He only had a Pseudo Emperor Stage zombie, so it was impossible for him to be Shi Qianhan’s opponent.
As such, Luo Shuiyao and the female corpse in the ice coffin were his only cards. As long as he held them firmly in his hands, Shi Qianhan and Luo Tianya would not dare to act rashly!
“You…”
Luo Tianya and Shi Qianhan were instantly enraged. If looks could kill, Xiao Yuanjing would have died countless times.
Right at this moment, one of the masters shouted, “Oh, no! The black fog is coming!”
Everyone looked over at that moment and saw wisps of black fog entering the hole that Ye Chen had broken through. They looked like leeches wriggling.
Before anyone could react, the black fog rushed toward them like it had smelled blood.
A member of the Luo family was hit by the black fog, and his entire body was sucked into it. Following that, an incomparably shrill scream rang out.
“Ahhhhh!
“Save me, save me…”
Crack, crack…
A hair-raising sound rang out from the black fog, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.
The scream disappeared.
The black fog attacked everyone again. At the crucial moment, Master Yizhen decisively took off the prayer beads hanging in front of his chest. The prayer beads immediately emitted a blinding golden light. The golden light seemed to be a resplendent canopy that completely blocked the black fog.
However, Master Yizhen’s face was extremely pale. The light from the prayer beads in his hand began to dim, clearly unable to last much longer.
“Let me help you!”
Zhang Wuming, the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, formed a seal with both hands, making a lotus flower mark. As soon as the lotus mark landed, it suddenly expanded. Purple qi soared into the sky, blocking the black fog in front of everyone.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
This sudden scene terrified everyone. Xiao Yuanjing grabbed Luo Shuiyao with one hand, called out to Bai Shaoyu, who was carrying the ice coffin, and ran towards the fourth floor of the ghost ship.
“Shameless!”
Seeing this, Luo Tianya and the rest were exasperated. It was one thing for Xiao Yuanjing to not stay behind to defend the enemy at such a critical moment, but he had abandoned them and fled.
“Xiao Yuanjing, give Yu’er back!”
Shi Qianhan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was disheveled as he chased after them. His eyes were filled with hatred and resentment!
At the crucial moment, Master Yizhen shouted, “Fellow Luo, Fellow Zhang, leave. I can’t hold on for much longer!”
“Master!” Luo Tianya’s face paled.
“Let’s go, let’s go, or we’ll all die. There’s more and more of this black fog. We can’t hold it alone!”
Master Yizhen laughed loudly, “The reason why I boarded the ghost ship was to neutralize the ghost ship and save the hundreds of thousands of people from my cultivation world in the sea of misery. Today, I’m willing to sacrifice myself to feed the devil and buy time for everyone!”
Hearing those words, everyone felt their hearts ache. In the end, Luo Tianya took a deep breath in and said, “Let’s go!”
With that, he led everyone towards the fourth floor of the ghost ship.
After they left, the prayer beads in Master Yi Zhen’s hands exploded. He spat a mouthful of blood, and the black fog surged over again.
“Amitabha. If I don’t enter hell, who will?!”
Master Yizhen immediately cut his palm, and golden blood flowed out of the huge wound.
“How many times have I been reborn, and how many times have I died? I’ve been like this since ancient times, and there’s nothing special about me. I’ve returned to my roots, but there’s nothing…”
He chanted the scriptures softly. When the black fog was about to reach him, he waved his shriveled hands and sprinkled his own blood.
As a Buddhist, he was willing to use his life and cultivation to destroy the evil thing in front of him to buy time for Luo Tianya and the rest.
“Pfft…”
Golden blood splattered across the sky like a heavenly fire burning the plains. As soon as the black fog that rushed over touched the golden blood, it immediately emitted crackling sounds like beans being fried.
Screams immediately sounded from the black fog.
Even so, the black fog continued to surge toward Master Yizhen maniacally. In the end, the golden blood in Master Yizhen’s body was almost exhausted.
He immediately sat down cross-legged and slapped his palm on the top of his head. The remaining golden blood flowed rapidly from the top of his head to his body. Soon, Master Yizhen’s entire body turned golden, as if he was a Buddha covered in a layer of golden powder.
“Namo amitabhaya tathagataya…”
Sanskrit chants similar to the chanting of the Buddhas slowly came out of Master Yizhen’s mouth. His body hovered in the air as if he had transformed into a scorching sun, radiating a scorching light…
If one looked closely, they would discover that his body was burning.
…
Xiao Yuanjing and Bai Shaoyu rushed to the fourth floor of the ghost ship.
Seeing that there was no way out, Bai Shaoyu’s heart sank, “Yuanjing, what do we do now? Are we all going to die on the ghost ship?”
