Blood Mist condensed, and Ghost Fangzi's figure had become extremely ethereal, yet he showed no concern at all.
The chair was shattered!
Ghost Fangzi tilted his head back, laughing mockingly at us.
One by one, blood-red figures emerged from the broken chair, each accompanied by the wailing sounds of vengeful spirits. The sounds were filled with despair, indignation, helplessness, and pain.
"Malicious, **, jealous, bloody," Ghost Fangzi slowly spoke as he looked at those figures. "Each term represents a type of original sin, and each original sin gives rise to such a Blood Demon."
"Blood Demon is evil; its wickedness lies in its ability to unleash the simplest malevolence from the depths of the human heart. Therefore, even Eighteen Layers of Hell dares not suppress an existence like the Blood Demon."
At the same time, around those blood-red Blood Demons, many entities filled with Evil Energy appeared. These entities varied in form, but the one thing they had in common was the ferocity reflected in their predatory eyes.
"You are not unfamiliar with these things, are you?" Ghost Fangzi asked with interest.
"Ghosts," I replied in a low voice.
I was indeed very familiar with these beings; weren't they the ghosts that had escaped from Underworld? Previously, Yama King had even given me a mission to capture ghosts. Why had I never encountered them? It turned out they had always been under Ghost Fangzi's control.
"Blood Demon combined with various ghosts—let's see how you plan to deal with this," Ghost Fangzi said with a smirk as he looked at me. With a twist of his body, he vanished into thin air.
He intended to watch the chaos unfold!
Right now, Ghost Fangzi was merely a Severed Soul. In other words, if he did not rely on other powers, he should not be my match. However, Ghost Fangzi had countless tricks up his sleeve: Ghostly Trap, Voodoo, and now he had concocted a combination of Blood Demon and ghosts.
At this rate, I would eventually be worn down to nothing!
"Whoosh!" A white light rose and landed in front of me; it was Mingyue.
"Young Master, should we set up the Bagua Formation? It seems that only the Bagua Formation can handle this situation."
"How do you know I still know the Bagua Formation?"
"Our abilities are interconnected with you, Young Master. We can only perform what you know," Mingyue explained. "I specialize in spells, talisman magic, and formations. Gentle Breeze excels in close combat and can also serve as your substitute. Just now, he blocked an arrow for you, and he temporarily reverted to his original form. You don't need to worry."
Alright, I somewhat understood the role of Clear Wind and Bright Moon.
We could liken them to two mobile phones; Gentle Breeze is like an old, durable Nokia that can withstand a lot of damage, while Mingyue is like an Apple phone.
The Nokia has limited functions but is tough and reliable.
Although the Apple phone can easily break if not handled carefully, it has many features, even if most people only use a few of them.
Just now, Gentle Breeze blocked an attack for me. Although he reverted to the Seed form, it was like a phone running out of battery; as long as it's recharged, it should recover.
No wonder Mingyue could use my talisman magic before; it turns out that's why.
However, given the current situation with the Chinese-style elements, using the Bagua Formation again doesn't seem like an ideal solution.
First, setting up the Bagua Formation takes too long. Moreover, it's complex and requires too many materials. The ghosts from Ghost Fangzi and the Blood Demon are eyeing me closely and won't give me the time to prepare the Bagua Formation.
But if I don't use the Bagua Formation, how should I deal with Ghost Fangzi's tactics?
Is the best strategy really to retreat?
I’m afraid it’s not my choice to leave.
"Right, I still have a card to play!" I suddenly slapped my forehead, recalling a group of four.
What I dealt with before was outside their jurisdiction, but now...
I took out the Judgment Seal and placed a mark on the ground, then began to chant.
The mark expanded on the ground and transformed into a large door. From the door emerged four figures.
The first one carried a folding stool, the second weighed a brick in his hand, another pulled out a wine bottle, and the last one dragged along a baseball bat.
The Four Great Enforcers of Yama King!
Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!
"Little Anzi, it's been a while since we chatted. What brings us back to work?" The one in front, Dynasty, seemed as if he had just eaten his fill, casually chatting while picking at his teeth and naturally draping an arm over my shoulder.
"Uh..." I still needed something from him, so I felt awkward getting angry.
"Recently, there are fewer and fewer people for Underworld to judge. I was wondering when Little Anzi would let us out to catch those ghosts," Zhao Hu said as he planted his baseball bat on the ground.
"Yeah, let’s see who we’re dealing with this time," Ma Han looked up and said, "Resentful ghosts, hanging ghosts, sharp-tongued ghosts... How about we head out first?"
Ma Han suddenly backed down; he must have seen the Blood Demon.
Dynasty was very displeased with Ma Han's sudden cowardice. He opened a folding stool and sat down directly, saying, “Old Horse, it’s not easy to come out and stretch my muscles; are you leaving?”
“Then how about you handle those few?” Ma Han replied.
“I’ll handle it, what the hell!” Dynasty turned around and saw those Blood Demons sticking their tongues out at him.
“Blood Demon,” Dynasty also backed down. “That Brother Yin, did you provoke these things?”
“Do you know someone called Ghost Fangzi?”
“...” Dynasty was speechless.
“Come on, big brother!” Ma Han urged. “Aren’t you here to stretch your muscles? That’s a Blood Demon, tough enough to take a hit.”
“But I can’t take a hit,” Dynasty defended himself. “Besides, this is beyond our mission scope. It’s one thing to deal with ghosts, but Blood Demon is almost on par with a Demon God.”
“Little Anzi, how about this: we’ll help you deal with the ghosts, but for that Blood Demon, you’ll have to figure it out yourself, okay?” Ma Han said shamelessly.
Dynasty Ma Han, their specialty was attacks targeting souls. Ghosts are actually a variant of Vengeful Spirits, so the four of them were more than capable of handling ghosts.
But the Blood Demon was different; despite having "demon" in its name, it had nothing to do with souls.
“I never expected anything from you in the first place,” I said disdainfully to Ma Han. “I’ll handle those Blood Demons myself; you just take care of the ghosts.”
The conversation was not over when the dynasty, seemingly afraid that I would change my mind, rushed out with their people.
Well, being able to deal with the ghosts is indeed a great help.
Faced with several Blood Demons, the three magical beasts formed from mana were not very useful. On the contrary, they consumed a lot of my mana, and reluctantly, I had to disperse the three beasts.
Blood Demons are a very difficult existence to define.
They have no soul, no thoughts, and lack all the basic qualities that a living being should possess.
Like Witches, Blood Demons were originally kept in the Underworld to punish those who attempted to escape it. However, at some point, their existence began to change.
Blood Demons exist by absorbing the emotions of others; thus, their environment influences their nature.
In the Underworld, especially within it, they are constantly surrounded by Resentment and Blood Qi. Over time, how could Blood Demons turn out well?
Later on, Blood Demons slowly withdrew from the Underworld's system and were sealed away.
I don't know how Ghost Fangzi managed to get hold of these Blood Demons.
“Recitation of the Ten Faults, Zhu Yao Chang, Ten Thousand Emperors set the ritual. Silent River and Sea, Mountain Hidden in Clouds. Sun and Moon Stand Still, The Celestial Gem Cannot Move. Demonic Binding, Ghostly Purification. Revive the Dead, White Bone Transformation. Scholar of Ultimate Learning, Recitation of the Ten Faults. Thus Five Emperors' Guards, Three Realms Suppression, Demonic Essence Lost Eyes, Ghost Demon Extermination, Dying to Save, Obtain Life After Death. Therefore Scholar, Pollution Has Not Cleared, Body Not Yet Enlightened, Summon the Ten Directions, Unestablished Authority, Deity of Earth, Binding Spirit; yet dead only cannot be reborn. Recite This Chapter Lightly; one’s body will suffer calamity. Offering Respectful Tribute; Portal Prosperity. Eternal Prosperity with good causes and conditions. Disaster-Free; Divine Guardian. The Sutra is Profound and Wonderful; Unparalleled Jade Capital. Limitless Salvation for The Origin of All Paths; Majestic Brahma; virtue difficult to surpass.”
To deal with Blood Demons, attacks are ineffective—whether physical or spiritual. The only way to handle Blood Demons is through transcendence.
At this moment, the Transcendental Sutra comes into play.
The Transcendental Sutra in Eight Treasures Mystique is actually different from the Transcendental Sutra I am currently reciting.
The Transcendental Sutra I am reciting is merely a scripture, formally titled "Taishang Dongxuan Lingbao Wuliang Du Ren Shangpin Miaojing," and the author is unknown.
Reciting the Transcendental Sutra does not mean one has entered the realm of the Transcendental Sutra; everyone has their own way of guiding others. The Transcendental Sutra is just a scripture that can be universally applied in this regard.
Buddha guides people through Buddhist teachings, and Guanyin Bodhisattva guides people through compassionate methods; these are all manifestations of the Transcendental Sutra. For me to enter this path of the Transcendental Sutra, the first thing I need to do is find my own way of guiding others.
This is much harder than simply reciting scriptures! As a result, even now, I have not truly begun to cultivate the Transcendental Sutra.
After finishing the last line of scripture, I looked up and saw that those Blood Demons had no reaction at all. It seems that reciting the Transcendental Sutra might work on lesser demons, but to deal with Blood Demons, I was overestimating its effectiveness.
At that moment, one of the Blood Demons opened its mouth, revealing a set of sharp teeth.
"Oh no," I thought to myself, realizing that the Blood Demon was about to attack me.
A tremendous pulling force emanated from the Blood Demon's mouth, and I faintly heard a mournful wailing sound in my ears. At that moment, the Blood Demon was consuming my emotions while using its own emotions to influence me.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Blood Demon; if I were truly affected by it,
I would lose my true self and become like a Puppet.
At that point, if Ghost Fangzi wanted to take over my body, it would be as easy as pie.
