Holy Bone

Chapter 2009 The Killing Power of the Fourth Realm Magic Weapon, the Ancestral Master's Incense Red Gourd
Clang!
The little girl's long, sharp fingernails struck the headless Jin An in the back, producing a metallic clang that made one's teeth ache and feel extremely uncomfortable.

The headless Jin An's back was still completely unharmed.

The Martial Immortal's physical body is incredibly strong, allowing him to maximize his abilities in close combat.

The headless Jin An reached behind him and hooked her arm, but the little girl dodged his grasp with a swift movement.

However, the headless Jin An also turned around at this moment, making himself and the little girl in mid-air face to face. The headless Jin An let out a cold laugh from his navel, and then opened his navel and spat out a raging fire.

That was no ordinary flame, but the Samadhi True Fire, one of the great divine fires of Taoism.

The Samadhi True Fire specifically burns a person's essence, energy, and spirit, as well as their three souls and seven spirits, causing even more fatal damage to the yin spirit and primordial spirit.

The Samadhi True Fire instantly filled the entire room, leaving the little girl nowhere to hide. She was thoroughly burned by the Heaven-Burning Samadhi True Fire.

"what!"

A roar echoed through the room, sounding like heart-wrenching pain, or perhaps a mixture of anger and resentment.

boom!
The roof shattered completely, and many bricks and tiles tumbled down with a loud crash.

The headless Jin An sensed that the little girl was trying to escape, so he immediately raised his palm and slammed it hard against the three-legged alchemy furnace beside him.

Boom!

A large chunk of the three-legged alchemy furnace was flattened off, and then the massive bronze furnace body, standing ten feet tall, flew out with lightning speed, carrying the burning intent of the Thirty-Six Thunder God Fist and the Samadhi True Fire. It crashed fiercely out of the room and blasted towards the outside world.

"what!"

Not long after the three-legged alchemy furnace flew away, a sharp, strange sound, seemingly both heart-wrenching and filled with anger and resentment, rang out again.

Then, Jin An, whose navel was still spewing Samadhi Fire and whose whole body was covered in Samadhi Fire and whose body was engulfed in flames, also rushed out of the room and followed closely behind the three-legged alchemy furnace.

Just as the three-legged alchemy furnace collided with the little girl who had fled the room, the headless Jin An arrived just in time. Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out in the courtyard outside the room, and a ring of raging fire suddenly burst forth. The fire was so fierce that it covered the entire house, which was only about an acre in size, as if a raging fire had descended from the sky and enveloped the earth.

A black figure, shaped like a "U", with its hands and feet in front and its body behind, was suddenly blown away in a posture that no ordinary person could imitate.

If an ordinary person were to assume this position, they would almost certainly be dead.

However, the original inhabitant of this house today is not an ordinary person, but an absurd and eccentric individual.

The headless Jin An didn't give the little girl a chance to react. After knocking her away, he reached out and grabbed the three-legged alchemy furnace beside him. With a stomp of his foot, the speed of a martial arts immortal reached its peak at this moment.

In an instant, they were behind the little girl.

It was even faster than the little girl.

They came later but arrived first.

The headless Jin An raised the enormous, three-legged alchemy furnace, which was ten feet tall, and slammed it down on the little girl's figure with great force. Boom!

Another ring of fierce Samadhi Fire exploded on the ground, scorching the heavens and the earth, with nothing able to escape.

The ground was dented by the massive bronze three-legged alchemy furnace, which had smashed into it. The dent was nearly ten feet deep, and the furnace was mostly shriveled up and no longer recognizable.

Beneath the Samadhi True Fire alchemy furnace, the little girl struggled, constantly striking the furnace. However, the furnace was completely covered in Samadhi True Fire, which was a fatal blow to a ghost-like spirit like the little girl. Despite striking for a while, she could not break free from the furnace's suppression.

Tell me, why are you targeting my people?

"Did someone send you?"

"Who sent you?"

"Tell me, and I can give you a quick and painless way to die."

"Otherwise, I'll use the Samadhi True Fire to refine you to death!"

The headless Jin An pressed down on the three-legged alchemy furnace with one hand, and shouted from his navel. Every time his navel opened, a large amount of Samadhi True Fire spewed out. The Samadhi True Fire around his body was shaped like a hurricane, making him look like Xing Tian or a fire god, with an extremely terrifying aura.

However, this little girl was also exceptionally ruthless. In this disadvantageous situation, she made the choice to cut off her tail to survive, heartlessly abandoning her lower body and flying away.

Just as the headless Jin An was about to reach out to grab the little girl's upper body that had escaped, the little girl's lower body, which was being pressed down by the three-legged alchemy furnace, suddenly underwent a sudden change.

The lower body, which was originally missing its upper body, instantly grew back to its upper body, restoring it to a complete body.

The little girl, who was trapped under the three-legged alchemy furnace, let out a shrill and resentful scream. She then slapped the furnace open and escaped.

The little girl, who had managed to escape again, did not run away. Instead, driven by an intense desire for revenge, she turned around and attacked the headless Jin An.

Meanwhile, the little girl who had previously escaped also grew back her complete lower body, transforming into a fully human form, and then once again charged towards the headless Jin An.

"That's interesting."

"it is good."

"bring it on."

With his headless belly button opening and closing, Jin An uttered words as loud as thunder, and the entire courtyard was filled with the swirling power of masculine energy.

Two little girls flew in from the left and right, casting evil hand seals. One of them conjured hundreds of yakshas and thousands of demons, while the other conjured hundreds of powerful demons. Ignoring the Samadhi True Fire burning their bodies, they charged together at the headless Jin'an.

The headless Jin'an's counterattack was simple.

He let out a cold snort from his navel and also formed hand seals to fight.

But the hand seals he used were Taoist hand seals, grand and powerful righteous hand seals.

With the left hand, form the ancient Chinese character "兵" (bing) in nine-character mantra; with the right hand, form the ancient Chinese character "者" (zhe) in nine-character mantra.

Soldiers can increase the potential limit.

Those who practice this can enhance their Taoist and magical abilities.

The appearance of these two elements was like adding wings to a tiger, or the finishing touch to a dragon, making the already powerful and imposing headless Jin An even more awe-inspiring and unstoppable.

When the headless Jin'an unleashed the ancient nine-character mantra "Zhe," the first to benefit were the Samadhi True Fire that spewed forth across the sky.

As if aided by divine intervention, the Samadhi True Fire suddenly surged two or three times, and faintly showed signs of turning from red to purple. Purple aura came from the east, and purple aura symbolizes loyalty and righteousness. Purple has the auspicious meaning of saints, immortals, and omens of good fortune in Taoism. It has a sacred color and is the power to achieve enlightenment, become an immortal, and become an ancestor.

For example, when Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west, the gatekeeper Yin happy saw purple clouds swirling in the east and sensed that a sage was about to arrive. Sure enough, Lao Tzu arrived riding a blue ox. This shows the supreme and sacred significance of purple in Taoism and among the common people.

Therefore, the purple hue of the Samadhi True Fire indicates that this fire has a hidden intention to advance to a higher level.

Therefore, although the number of the Yakshas and Demons that the little girl attacked was large, reaching hundreds or even thousands, most of them were still burned away by the Samadhi True Fire of the Headless Jin'an, leaving only a small number that approached the Headless Jin'an to launch an attack.

What awaits the remaining half of the Yaksha and the powerful ghost is the headless Jin'an's ancient nine-character mantra battle.

Boom!

Boom! The two fists collided, and a dazzling burst of lightning and fire erupted between them, containing both the thunderous intent of the Thunder God Fist and the burning intent of the Samadhi True Fire.

The little girl fought with all her might, and once she unleashed her full power in a battle, her strength was indeed extraordinary. This time, she was not knocked away by the headless Jin An.

Instead, they fought to a standstill, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

"Ok?"

"As expected, it's the fourth realm."

"explain."

"Who exactly sent you to target my Five Internal Organs Taoist Temple and my Criminal Investigation Department?!"

"Deal with my Jin'an!"

The headless Jin'an opened and closed his navel, spewing out a large amount of Samadhi True Fire.

But what awaited him was the little girl's relentless attack, as she opened her blood-red maw.

It was indeed a gaping, blood-red maw.

What was originally a small, peach-shaped mouth has now opened into a deep, dark maw, almost the size of a head. There are no white teeth like one would expect, only endless blackness, a blackness that sends chills down one's spine.

Then, it spat out an enormous, blood-weeping talisman from its gaping maw.

Upon seeing the blood-stained token, the headless Jin An immediately thought of array talismans.

Because he had studied the "Yin Yang Qing Nang Jing", "Shen Feng Tong Kao", and "Qi Men Dun Jia Yin Fu Jing Yang Fu Jing Si Ji", he had a deep understanding of formations and recognized the purpose of the blood-staining formation talisman that the little girl spat out at a glance.

A talisman that can be used by a fourth-realm demon or monster must be extraordinary.

This time, the headless Jin An no longer held back. He took out the red gourd, and as soon as he lifted the gourd lid, boom!

The 11,322 incense sticks from the Five Internal Organs Taoist Ancestral Masters inside the red gourd transformed into an astonishing raging fire, which burst forth with a thunderous roar, like a river or lake erupting, instantly covering the entire sky above the illusion.

The force was so fierce that a huge orange-red mushroom cloud, more than ten acres in size, was lifted up from where the red gourd was located, sweeping away the surrounding black mist, trees, buildings, rocks, and town.

It was as if the sun had come out, the clouds and fog had dispersed, and the blue sky had been revealed. The surroundings were suddenly clean and clear, and even the sky was spotless, without a trace of darkness.

As soon as the fire appeared, it was violently sucked back into the red gourd, along with the two little girls.

Boom!
The red gourd suddenly fell to the ground, landing in a deep pit.

That deep pit, with its still-drying crimson magma, was created when the red gourd erupted with the power of 11,322 incense sticks, burning the ground into a deep crimson pit.

This deep pit is in the underworld; it's enough to bury hundreds of people.

All the surrounding buildings collapsed and disappeared, leaving only ruins and rubble. Each piece of brick was no bigger than a palm, demonstrating the devastation.

And all of this is naturally the power unleashed by the prayers and vows of 11,322 incense sticks.

This was the first time that Wu Tou Jin An had used the power of the Red Gourd after it was conferred the fourth level. As expected, it was the most powerful magic weapon he possessed besides those divine artifacts, and every time it was used, the commotion was enormous.

This is the power of the ancestral master's incense offerings.

Exquisite craftsmanship.

Stunningly beautiful.

The little girl, however, had vanished without a trace, having long been absorbed back into the red gourd by the power of the 11,322 incense offerings.

After the red gourd landed, it shook violently for a short while, but the shaking soon lessened and it stopped moving altogether.

At this moment, Jin An raised his hand, rolled up the red gourd, and gently placed it in his hand.

The little girl inside the red gourd has been burned to death.

Anyway, this little girl is just a mindless, evil, and vengeful spirit. Whether we catch her or not makes no difference; we can refine her if we want.

There's nothing to worry about.

However, Wu Tou Jin An frowned inwardly. It was strange that the red gourd had killed the little girl, yet there was no response from the Great Dao or any sign of good karma.
Just as the headless Jin An was still wondering what was going on, the scene of ruins in front of him slowly dissipated. When he turned around and looked around, he found himself standing on the wooden plank walkway of the cliffside street in the underworld.

A light mist hangs in the distance, obscuring the future.

A light mist hung in the air behind us, obscuring the path we had come from.

The headless Jin An glanced down at the red gourd, then snorted coldly from his navel. He carried the red gourd in one hand and the compass plate in the other, and continued walking deeper into the wooden plank walkway.

His current appearance is strikingly similar to that of a Taoist deity who has indulged in wine and meat, and is so drunk that he is unaware of how many years have passed in the mortal world...

The headless Jin'an continued forward, but the light fog in front of him never dissipated. There was always a layer of light fog that did not obstruct his vision, neither a thick fog that made it impossible to see the road, nor a trivial fog, but a light fog that was neither too deep nor too shallow, and it lingered around him slowly.

The headless Jin An continued forward, glancing down at the compass every now and then. He ignored the incense altars, temples, teahouses, and other buildings that appeared along the wooden plank road, walking straight past them without going in to investigate as he had done at the beginning.

Just as the headless Jin An had traveled for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the rustling whispers in his ears grew louder and clearer, and he could clearly hear people talking.

"Count to ten."

"No peeking."

"Run! Hahaha!"

……

"Run! It's that little jinx!"

"We must never let this little jinx get close to us. My mother says she's a bad thing, and anyone who touches her will be unlucky for life!"

"Yeah, yeah, who would date a jinx like that? If people found out, they'd be looked down upon for life!"

……

Then, the headless Jin'an saw a girl with two braids, carrying a bundle of firewood on her back, walking with difficulty from the hazy mountains behind her towards the town.

When he saw the little girl, Wu Tou Jin An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "This is getting interesting."

In the town, at the house, I put down the firewood in the kitchen, went back to the front door to lock it, and then went to my room to call my mother for dinner...

The exact same scene, without a single mistake, was experienced by the headless Jin'an once again. Then, when the scene came to the point where the little girl had finished eating in her mother's room and was about to play hide-and-seek, the familiar scene happened again.

The little girl attacked the headless Jin'an.

This time, the headless Jin'an was experienced and too lazy to engage in a useless magical battle with the little girl. He directly uncorked the red gourd bottle, and 11,322 incense sticks burst forth with their power. With a little help from him, the little girl, who hadn't even unleashed her full power, was sucked back into the red gourd...

Then the house and town vanished without a trace. He stood once more on the wooden plank walkway of the cliffside street in the underworld, continuing his journey through the light mist, holding the red gourd and the jade compass...
