I become a god in another world

Chapter 704 Forced to Reveal True Form
Chapter 704
Paper Man Zhang is now in a dangerous situation.

He stripped the human skin, which bore Zang Junji's mark, causing Zang Junji's laws to erupt.

At the same time, he and Sun Shaoyin's ghost eyes met, and he was pulled into the Ghost Realm of Reincarnation.

Within the ghost realm, his fear took on a physical form.

This person committed evil throughout his life. After the tragedy at the Zang Family Ancestral Hall, he caused many ghostly disasters. At this time, a horde of ghosts erupted in the realm of reincarnation, surrounding, chasing, and marking him.

……

Upon seeing this, Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The Paper Man Zhang is utterly wicked, and his harm far surpasses that of ghosts.

Although the calamity of the Chang family in Wuqing County was terrible, there are ways to break the laws of the underworld, but the darkness in people's hearts is like an abyss, unpredictable.

Now that we've finally managed to trap the paper effigy Zhang here, if we don't kill him now, when will we ever get another chance?

As soon as Zhao Fusheng thought of this, she immediately twisted her wrist, and a pale white ghost whip appeared in her hand.

She reached out and flicked the ghost whip, and the vengeful ghost, filled with resentment, instantly transformed into a pale white bone dagger. She raised the dagger and stabbed it fiercely into the body of the paper figure Zhang.

With a 'thud,' the dagger pierced into the body of the paper figure Zhang, first breaking through the skin and then twisting into the rotten flesh inside.

As Zhang the Paper Doll himself said, he pieced together the remains of a large number of vengeful ghosts to create his current body. The black robe he wears is a stolen coffin lid from the ancient capital that was used to imprison headless ghosts. The coffin lid itself was taken from the seventeenth level of the ancient capital's ghost realm, which in itself signifies a law for suppressing vengeful ghosts.

He stole the ghost coffin back then to suppress his own vengeful ghost body, similar to how he transformed his own body into a special 'ghost prison,' using his robes as 'guardians' to suppress the vengeful ghost body and prevent its resurrection.

Zhao Fusheng's slash startled the ghosts.

A large amount of black energy suddenly exploded out.

'Oh!'

This violent shockwave produced a sharp scream, and wisps of black energy shot out from the wound, transforming into skulls that hurtled towards Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head, displaying the supernatural power of the Three-Eyed Demon: three heads appeared on her neck, and four extra arms grew on her shoulders.

As soon as the three heads and six arms appeared, they opened their three huge mouths and swallowed the surging black ghost heads.

The moment she inhaled the black energy, the malevolent aura was far more ferocious than she had imagined.

Miniature skulls, shrunk dozens of times, formed imprints on her cheeks and forehead. But in the next instant, a ghost pen suddenly appeared in one of Zhao Fusheng's hands, writing diligently: "Subject to the Boundless Blessing Heavenly Venerable."

After finishing writing, he added a venomous curse: "May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings, in the spring of the 248th year of the Great Han Dynasty, someone in Wan'an County will surely die from a ghostly calamity."

Zhao Fusheng turned a deaf ear to the curse of the Qiankun Brush.

The more the Qiankun Brush curses, the more effective it becomes—next year's problems can wait until next year; as long as she doesn't die from ghostly calamity this year, she'll consider herself a winner.

The Qiankun Brush writes another curse: Under the red moon, a hundred ghosts roam the night.

While inflicting the curse, the power of the Qiankun Brush transformed into protection.

The paper doll Zhang's ghost head turned on Zhao Fusheng. When the black mini ghost head appeared as a brand on Zhao Fusheng's cheeks and forehead, at the same time a thin line of blood, as if alive, began to crawl under her skin.

Wherever the bloodline reached, it devoured the ghost heads, consuming the black energy one by one with unparalleled speed.

At the same time, Zhao Fusheng swayed his six arms.

The dagger that Erlang Shen's demon whip had transformed into immediately split into several pieces, each of which became a long whip, a long spear, and a sword, which she held in her hands.

She cleaved all six arms at once, turning the ghost heads into malevolent energy in the blink of an eye, which she then swallowed one by one into her three mouths.

Relying on the Qiankun Brush as a base, Zhao Fusheng was not afraid of the backlash from the Paper Man Zhang's malevolent energy at all.

In a single exchange, she extinguished the paper doll Zhang's instinctive resistance, and then struck again, hitting the paper doll Zhang's ghostly body.

With a loud 'bang,' the paper figure Zhang Gui was struck.

A huge dent was punched into his back, his bones shattered inch by inch, and the black aura at the point of impact was so thick that it turned into a large pool of black matter resembling ghost ink.

The black energy seeped into his body and traveled around him at an extremely fast speed.

"Hehe." Zhao Fusheng gave a forced smile.

Taking advantage of Zhang's illness, they wanted to kill him.

In an instant, the black energy spread from the back of the paper figure to his limbs, bones, and head. The black energy surged to his fingertips and the top of his head, paused for a moment, and then exploded violently with a 'bang'.

The human skin blanket that Paper Doll Zhang plundered was merely a malevolent object accompanying the substitute ghost, not a precious or mysterious item. Most importantly, the substitute ghost was originally just a fierce ghost of the evil level. How could this human skin blanket withstand the blow of Erlang Shen's power? At this moment, it shattered into thousands upon thousands of skin fragments, which flew around.

Old Mrs. Chang's vengeful ghost immediately seized the opportunity.

For Granny Chang of Wuqing County, absorbing ghosts had become an instinct.

Old Mrs. Chang, who was walking towards Zhao Fusheng, immediately stopped.

It held Chang Hao in its arms, and the two ghosts took root on the spot, instantly forming a towering ghost tree.

The ghost tree was lush and leafy, and its branches transformed into a giant net, completely scooping up and covering the shattered ghost body of the paper figure.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Fusheng smiled.

The next moment, the ghost tree grabbed the paper figure's mangled body, and its branches turned into sharp hooks that pierced into the countless mangled limbs and fragments.

A special ghost festival unfolds.

The Ghost Tree reads the life stories of Paper Man Zhang and the remains of the vengeful ghosts he commands, pulling them into the cycle of reincarnation.

Treetops drooped down, beginning to condense ghost niches, with different pale faces hanging in the ghost realm like large 'ginseng fruits' with stems.

A vine pierced through the center of these 'ginseng fruits'.

The ghost tree remained in place.

……

This was an unusually ideal outcome for Zhao Fusheng—the paper figure Zhang actually suppressed the ghost tree all by himself.

She didn't know how long the paper doll Zhang could maintain a balance with the ghost tree, but at this moment, her pressure suddenly eased, and she immediately turned around and headed towards the shrine where Meng Po and the others were.

Zhao Fusheng simultaneously wielded the knife, gun, sword, and whip in his hands, breaking the connection between the shrine and the paper effigy.

The bloodlines were severed one by one.

With one hand, Zhao Fusheng held a scroll of ghostly scrolls radiating blood-red light in her palm.

The ghost stele transformed into the shadow of a phantom, towering mountain, looming above her head. With her Qiankun Brush, she pointed out in the void: "The Six Paths manifest, the severed ties of the shrine are rekindled!"
The moment the blood-written words were written, they transformed into laws.

A blood-red light emanated from within the shrine, as if two giant hands were in the shadows, supporting the crooked and broken shrine.

One by one, the shrines were stabilized. Zhao Fusheng, bearing immense weight, carried all the shrines on his shoulders and pulled them out of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

Meng Po and the others inside the shrine slowly awoke.

"grown ups--"

The moment the consciousness of the people in Wan'an County and the capital returned to its original state, they cried out in horror:

"What just happened?"

Everyone's consciousness remained in the earlier moment: a pool of blood suddenly appeared on the ground, and just as everyone was puzzled, a twisted and pieced-together ghost corpse suddenly emerged in the very center of the pool.

The ghost corpse lay supine in the blood pool, facing Zhao Fusheng directly.

The moment the ghostly corpse appeared, Zhao Fusheng was immediately pulled into reincarnation.

Having experienced the ghostly calamity in Jin County, Meng Po and the others immediately recognized Sun Shaoyin's identity.

Although everyone was somewhat prepared when Paper Man Zhang appeared carrying Sun Shaoyin's ghost head, they still couldn't escape when Sun Shaoyin's reincarnation laws were unleashed and were swept up in them. Meng Po only remembered Paper Man Zhang's figure appearing above Zhao Fusheng's body; when she tried to intervene, she was trapped in a nightmare.

She dreamt of returning to the night decades ago when she received the letter written in blood.

That night, the same blood-written letter was presented to her in a different way. She was trapped in a nightmare, and the evil aura in her heart deepened. She almost forgot what she wanted to do before sinking into the nightmare, until Zhao Fusheng forcibly 'awakened' her with the law.

Upon waking, Meng Po recalled the previous events and was greatly alarmed:
"Sir, the paper figure Zhang Ta—"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the scene around her.

With the recovery of Granny Chang, the towering ghost tree that had originally disappeared was gone.

But at this moment, a ghost tree reappeared in the ghost realm. This ghost tree was not as big as the previous one, but it was now covered with fierce ghosts.

Meng Po paused for a moment, and Zhao Fusheng said:

"He has been pulled into the cycle of reincarnation."

This is not the time to discuss these matters in detail, Zhao Fusheng said in a deep voice:

"I need to find a way to suppress them—"

The Paper Doll Zhang, the Reincarnation Blood Pool, and the Ghost Tree form a delicate balance of mutual suppression. If Zhao Fusheng could subdue both of them at this time, it would be a great thing for him.

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Yu Lingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the time of the incident, she originally wanted to reverse time and let time flow backward to the past—but after the law of reincarnation restarted, she lost consciousness for a moment and was trapped in the time of that year.

For a demon tamer, the moment of subduing a vengeful spirit should be the nightmare in their heart.

Unfortunately, Yu Lingzhu's recurring nightmares did not occur when she was controlling ghosts, but rather when Old Lady Chang died.

She was attending Old Mrs. Chang's funeral.

……

Zhao Fusheng was unaware of Yu Lingzhu's thoughts. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the paper figure Zhang had not yet been revived to quickly eliminate this major threat.

But before she could finish speaking, a strange thing happened.

The 'figures' hanging under the ghost tree have changed without anyone noticing.

Although the ghost's forehead was pierced by the ghost tree vines, its expression remained numb and cold, like a dummy. However, in the time it took for the people to talk, it had already undergone a transformation.

The facial muscles of these 'ghostly accomplices' began to twitch.

Zhao Fusheng's face immediately turned gloomy. As the envoy of the Investiture of the Gods, she sensed the change in the evil aura of this place immediately.

The paper doll Zhang was more powerful than she had imagined, and he woke up faster than she had expected.

In a short time, the hanging ghosts twisted their muscles, and their noses, eyebrows, eyes, and lips changed, all turning into the same face in the span of a single breath.

“Zang Xiongwu!” Zhao Fusheng sighed silently.

"Zang Xiongwu!" Liu Yizhen frowned and shouted.

……

This face is exactly what the paper figure Zhang looked like when he was young, more than fifty years ago, when the ghostly calamity broke out at the Zang family's old ancestral hall.

"Hey hey hey."

These ghostly figures, all with changed appearances, began to let out a grotesque laugh in unison.

"Hahaha."

The reaction of the Ghost Clan has already defied the laws of the Ghost Tree.

Zhao Fusheng felt a pang of regret in his heart.

Her actions were swift; upon regaining consciousness, she first sent the paper effigy into 'reincarnation,' trapping him; then she immediately rescued her companions and repaired the shrine.

All of this happened in a very short time, and unexpectedly, in just this short while, the paper figure Zhang Hui had already recovered.

She had a bad feeling: if she missed this opportunity, it might not be easy to capture Paper Man Zhang again today.

Although he sensed something was wrong, Zhao Fusheng was still unwilling to give up.

Just then, these ghostly accomplices, all bearing the same face of Zang Xiongwu, spoke:

"After so many years, I almost forgot what I used to look like."

When everyone was trapped in the Ghost Realm, they had spoken with the 'people' inside, but that was under the influence of the Ghost Realm and before the vengeful ghost of Old Lady Chang was revived.

At this moment, the ghostly calamity was completely out of control. If the paper figure Zhang was suppressed by the ghost tree, he should have become a ghost servant in an instant—or he should have been given a separate shrine to the ghost god according to the laws of the ghost tree and hung high for 'worship'.

Regardless of the outcome, he will be controlled by the Ghost Tree.

Although he seemed to still be restricted by the Ghost Tree, his clear consciousness seemed to suppress the laws of the Ghost Tree.

Everyone was startled and horrified.

Zhao Fusheng remained calm and composed.
"You've spent these years associating with ghosts, and you're no longer the same person you were—"

As she spoke to the paper figure Zhang, the last word was still on her lips when her figure swayed, and then countless black wisps of energy dissipated from her body.

Zhao Fusheng's multiple figures "walked out" from their original positions, transforming into swift shadows that flew towards each of the paper figures.

Countless three-headed, six-armed "Zhao Fusheng" figures moved in all directions, conjuring up hundreds of human figures, each wielding a knife, spear, sword, or halberd, and forcefully stabbing at the ghostly figure of the paper effigy.

A menacing aura surged forth.

Each spear pierced the ghostly creatures hanging from the tree.

But at the instant they were struck, sky lanterns suddenly ignited within these demonic accomplices.

As the sky lanterns lit up, the heavy, hanging corpses slowly began to float up. When the ghost accomplices were stabbed, they shattered with a 'bang,' and the huge shockwave split the ghost corpses into countless fragments of different sizes, like a violent storm.

……

All these strange changes happened in a very short time, and everyone was stunned.

But the matter was not over.

“Hehehehehe——”

The paper figure Zhang Xiaosheng appears like a persistent ghost.

Instead of splattering blood and flesh, the shattered corpses turned into burning pieces of 'human skin paper' as they fell.

These burning human skin papers seemed to be attracted by some strange force, and began to converge in the same direction.

Before long, all the burning 'human skin paper' came together, and then they pieced themselves together, forming a huge paper figure in the blink of an eye.

This paper figure was about ten zhang tall, enormous, with firelight hidden inside its belly, and its face was strange and distorted.

"Paper Doll Zhang!"

At this moment, the paper figure Zhang resembled the terrifying appearance of Zhao Fusheng when he first met him and then suddenly set him on fire.

However, Zhao Fusheng had just been reborn at that time and was not strong enough to detect the true strength beneath his terrifying appearance.

She is no longer the same as before. When she confronts Zhang, the paper doll, she can sense the immense malevolent energy hidden beneath his terrifying human skin.

Pieces of human skin were being pieced together, the firelight inside like the most intense flames in the world. A wisp of blood turned into a thin thread, stitching together the broken pieces of skin to restore them to their original state.
