I become a god in another world

Chapter 783 Battle Paper Man Zhang
Chapter 783

However, a few vengeful ghosts are deeply obsessed.

They were filled with resentment in life, and their power grew after death, allowing them to advance in rank due to the many people they had killed.

Upon entering the Ghost Realm of Fengdu, he immediately sought to break the restrictions of the laws.

The vengeful ghost instinctively wanted to escape its shackles.

Just then, Zhao Fusheng was heading towards the gates of hell.

Liu Yizhen's ghostly eagle stared at her and also 'moved'.

The ghost eagle darted away, maintaining a perfect distance from her.

She led the ghost eagle to the gates of hell and stopped there, then stepped back a few paces.

A gilded statue stands before the Gates of Hell, illuminating the entrance to the Ghost Realm of the Sealed Capital.

It stands tall, like a rock, ancient and steadfast, motionless.

Those fierce ghosts who entered the Gate of Hell but then had a change of heart and instinctively wanted to escape were immediately illuminated by thousands of golden rays the moment they turned around, before the two gate gods could even appear.

Under the influence of the ghostly light, the vengeful spirit was frozen in place.

Liu Yizhen's rule: Guard.

The Investiture of the Gods says: The place where it is located is a place of absolute no return.

Obsession combined with innate abilities forms a powerful weapon to suppress vengeful spirits.

The ghosts were frozen in place, and the power of the Gates of Hell manifested itself. The ghosts were obediently escorted onto the ship and led into Hell, awaiting entry into the next cycle of Hell's reincarnation.

……

Seeing that most of the ghosts were under control, Zhao Fusheng's tense nerves relaxed.

Only then did she look at Liu Yizhen's body.

The paper figure Zhang's hidden form was revealed from the massive ghost statue's arm.

This treacherous and wicked man is adept at escaping and hiding; his appearance is ever-changing, he is exceptionally cunning, and difficult to capture.

Zhao Fusheng was closest to him in Wuqing County, yet he still managed to escape.

Yet, this extremely wicked person revealed himself under the shadow of Liu Yizhen's ghostly figure.

Taking advantage of his restraint, Zhao Fusheng freed one hand and immediately summoned the human skin ghost whip.

Holding a God-Slaying Whip in one hand and a Human Skin Ghost Whip in the other, she flashed and appeared in mid-air above the Zhang Mansion, looking down at the old Zhang Mansion of the paper figures.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at Liu Yizhen's arm out of the corner of his eye, confirming the paper figure's form, and then unleashed the God-Slaying Whip:
"A sinner like you doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

‘Boom! ’

Lightning flashed in mid-air.

Blood mist rose from the ground, instantly forming a blood mirror.

The mirror rotates, revealing a ghostly lamp hidden inside.

In a moment, Zhao Fusheng's figure was captured in the blood mirror. For a moment, her consciousness was dazed. She was briefly lost and could not distinguish between heaven and earth. It was as if she was in chaos, her body upside down, with a bright moon in the sky above her head and on the ground.

Her image slowly began to appear in the blood mirror.

The paper doll Zhang possessed extraordinary power, able to absorb her into its body through the laws of nature.

But this chaos lasted only a moment.

The same method can only be used once.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes quickly cleared, and a sharp look appeared between his brows and eyes.

Lightning struck, and with a deafening roar, it shattered the blood-red cloud.

The calm mirror shattered, and the ghost lamp inside was extinguished.

The figure of the paper figure Zhang appeared.

At this moment, he was like a vengeful ghost, his belly ripped open and his intestines ripped out, black energy dissipating from within, but when he saw the ghost mirror shatter, he still wanted to escape.

But as soon as he escaped several feet, the shadow of the God-Slaying Whip transformed into a pale light that swept across the heavens and earth.

The light and shadow were like a rainbow, tearing apart the ghostly realm wherever it went.

The ghost whip then plunged straight in, slicing into the body of the paper figure Zhang.

The whip ripped and strangled the ghost's body, tearing apart the black robe worn by the paper figure Zhang in an instant.

Beneath his robes, his battered and bruised body was revealed to the crowd.

It was a pale, pieced-together ghost skin, upon which strange patterns appeared.

The vengeful spirits that died at the hands of Zhang the Paper Doll, and were trapped in his body, turned into little black marks, piecing together terrifying and inexplicable totems within his body, forming the Ghost Painting Bureau!

These patterns are chaotic and disordered, yet they carry a sinister and eerie aura that captivates the soul, giving one the immediate risk of having their soul and life stolen.

"You treacherous, cunning villain, is this your ghostly form?!"

Amidst Zhao Fusheng's furious roar, the ghost whip struck down.

‘Boom! ’

Thunderous roar.

The ghost whip struck the paper figure Zhang's back, leaving a whip shadow.

The moment the white rainbow branded itself onto the ghost skin, the lingering shadow of the whip traveled in all directions of the ghost painting, like a dragon baring its fangs and claws, tearing apart the vengeful spirit within the ghost skin.

The ghosts screamed silently, and fine cracks appeared on the black canvas.

The canvas was torn.

Zhao Fusheng succeeded in his attack, but he was not pleased.

At this moment, she entered a mysterious and extraordinary state: as if her emotions had been stripped away.

The immense grief initially brought about by Liu Yizhen's death was contained, and the shock of Magistrate Pang's death faded away.

She became calm, focusing solely on disassembling the paper figure.

After the canvas cracked, Zhao Fusheng stabbed the paper figure Zhang's abdomen with the Ghost Whip. Then, he twisted his wrist, and the human skin Ghost Whip he held in his other hand transformed into a gleaming scimitar.

The blade pierced the belly, hooked onto the paper figure's internal organs, and tore it apart with force, slicing the body in two.

Amidst the putrid stench, a large amount of black gas expanded and dispersed in all directions, transforming into vengeful ghosts and vengeful spirits.

Zhao Fusheng paid no attention to these vengeful ghosts.

She knew that Chen Duozi, Fan Bisi, and others would drive these vengeful ghosts into the Fengdu Ghost Domain.

"I'll cut off your little hand."

Zhao Fusheng said:

"These hands have committed countless evil deeds, killing numerous people and creating numerous injustices."

"I'll cut off your little feet."

She read aloud:
"You travel far and wide, bringing misfortune wherever you go—"

With swift movements, she used the God-Slaying Whip as a secondary tool to restrain the paper figure Zhang, while simultaneously using the Human Skin Ghost Knife as the primary tool to dissect Zhang's body.

The paper figure Zhang was restrained by the God-Slaying Whip and fixed in place by her.

With a swift stroke of her knife, his body was severed.

However, at the site of the severed limbs and broken body, a sticky black mist remained.

Moreover, they seemed to possess a spirit; even after being separated, they remained together, surrounding the paper figure Zhang.

The paper figure Zhang only smiled and remained silent.

After a while, he said:
"My body is a composite of parts."

They were not his original body, yet he willingly merged with them, "because we are all people with great obsessions, and we are willing to band together."

Paper Doll Zhang Dao:

"They were all cowards when they were alive."

As he spoke, he wiggled his toes, the severed toes trembling, and said:

"These are the footprints of Sun Shaoyin."

Sun Shaoyin's law is about reincarnation, but the so-called "reincarnation" is nothing more than another form of escapism.

He was powerless to change the existing outcome while he was alive, and he was determined to turn back time to the time before he and Shen Yishu were married.
After Sun Shaoyin's death, the vengeful ghost revived and formed an obsession.

Obsessions also vary in strength.

As Zhang the Paper Doll said, Sun Shaoyin was unable to resolve his predicament while alive, and the laws of the world still apply to the strong after his death.

“That’s the gaze of Yu Lingzhu from Wuqing County.” As he spoke, his pupils contracted, and in an instant, his eyes rippled like waves, capturing Zhao Fusheng’s gaze.

In the instant Zhao Fusheng was stunned, the paper figure Zhang said again:
“I even managed to get Zhu Guangling’s footprints. See how capable I am—”

As soon as he finished speaking, countless strange footprints suddenly appeared around him.

As soon as the footprints appeared, his severed limbs were joined into them, and then the Law of Resurrection was activated again: all the fragmented bodies were reassembled in the same way.

The shattered arm was reattached, and the cut-open belly was sealed away.

His collapsed body stood up.

Before long, he was standing in front of Zhao Fusheng again.

This person is indestructible and cannot be killed.

When Zhao Fusheng opened his eyes again after a brief moment of distraction, he saw the paper figure Zhang standing in front of him once more.

This scene was both expected and unexpected. She wasn't angry; instead, she raised the God-Slaying Whip and the Human Skin Ghost Blade in her hands again.

Paper Man Zhang sneered, and his figure flashed. His trace remained, but in the reflection of Liu Yizhen's golden ghost statue, he had already disappeared.

Instead, his decaying form reappeared in mid-air.

"You have footprints, and so do I!"

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, he invited Zhu Guangling to come out.

Zhu Guangling reappears in the world, measuring the footprints of paper figures.

He stole Zhu Guangling's rules; how can something fake be mistaken for the real thing?
As the wandering deity moved about, the surroundings became shrouded in mist.

In the rain and mist, countless strange footprints suddenly appeared.

Zhu Guangling's ghostly figure stepped on each of these footprints, completely retrieving them, and then caught up with the paper figure Zhang at an incredibly fast speed.

A pair of footprints were left on the paper figure Zhang, and the Law of the Vengeful Ghost was activated: Tracing Back the Soul.

The paper figure Zhang's frozen body began to disintegrate.

The bodies of those countless vengeful ghosts with great obsessions in this world were disintegrated one by one, eventually returning to the headless ghost realm of fifty-eight years ago.

The ghost was supposed to return to its original state, but blood suddenly began to seep from the paper figure's face.

A diagonal bloodstain ran across his face, and on one half of his face, a tightly closed eye suddenly opened.

Those eyes were bloodshot, filled with the malice of the world.

As the ghost's eyes darted around, they looked at Zhu Guangling.

The once-powerful emperor activated his extraordinary laws: one cannot pry into his past, nor can one trace his shadow.

Zhu Guangling's laws shattered.

The rain and fog dissipated in an instant.

The paper figure of Zhang had somehow escaped Zhu Guangling's control and was once again above the former Zhang family residence.

He sat cross-legged, his ghostly eyes wide open.

Countless crimson threads floated around his body—the remains of the vengeful ghosts that Zhu Guangling had 'erased' with his laws were all bound by these crimson threads, becoming a source of malevolent energy to nourish him.

His current appearance was 80% similar to Zang Junji in the seventeenth level of hell that day.

"You want to emulate Zang Junji and suppress hell?"

Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

Paper figure Zhang nodded:
"I once said that I initially wanted to ward off ghosts, but—"

He gave a cold laugh and said nothing more.

Although he was speaking calmly with Zhao Fusheng, after a brief pause, his ghostly eyes suddenly widened:

"Come and die!"

The ghostly eye turned blood red and suddenly expanded rapidly, transforming into a lake of blood.

The lake surface ripples, reflecting a full moon within.

Within the blood lake, the pale face of the paper doll reappeared.

In a short while, the face rapidly changed. The 'face' in the blood lake receded inward, the blood lines were erased, and the face turned deathly pale, vaguely transforming into Zhao Fusheng's face.

The scenery around Zhao Fusheng began to blur, and blood mist began to rise from it at some point.

Paper Man Zhang wanted to suck her into the Blood Lake, so he used the same trick again.

But she was not afraid. Instead, she took Xu Yu's Qiankun Brush and wrote: "Boundless merit, impervious to all evil!"
At this moment, she held the God-Slaying Whip, possessed great merit, and commanded the seventeen levels of the Ghost Prison, making it difficult for the Qiankun Brush to stir up any more trouble.

The moment these eight large characters, imbued with a bloody light, were written, the law was instantly established.

The writing immediately dispersed, turning into a blood mist that enveloped her.

With her current strength, she could wield the words written with the Qiankun Brush, transforming them into the unparalleled principles of the world.

The evil spirits could not see into her life or invade her body.

The Blood Mirror of Reincarnation dared not capture her image again, and the Footprints of the Vengeful Ghost dared not trace her life story any further.

……

Within that lake of blood, Zhao Fusheng's face, which was not yet fully formed in the mirror, immediately shattered and transformed back into the disheveled paper figure of Zhang.

Blood streamed down his face, staining the Blood Lake, and the Blood Mirror shattered instantly.

The moment the blood-stained mirror shattered, Zhao Fusheng's eyes cleared.

She stood like a god in mid-air, coldly turning her head to look at Liu Yizhen's ghostly golden statue.

In the reflection of the golden ghost statue, the paper figure Zhang had long since lost all movement in its original spot.

"The underworld messengers, Ox-Head and Horse-Face!"

At Zhao Fusheng's command, the two ghosts appeared in the world.

In Wan'an County, near the former residence of the Zhang family, the villagers who were lucky enough to survive but did not flee saw the Ox-Head and Horse-Face appear.

As soon as the two ghosts appeared, they immediately seized the fierce ghost.

Horse-faced demons search for their former heads, while Qiao Yuesheng, wielding a large knife, pulls the paper figure Zhang into his ghostly dream.

In an instant, the paper figure Zhang fled between heaven and earth, with the two ghosts turning into black shadows and following behind.

Neither side would give way, and they chased each other relentlessly.

Just then, Paper Man Zhang waved his hand, and several paper figures were thrown out.

The paper figures flew in mid-air, and a cold wind rushed into them, instantly transforming them into swaying 'living people'.

Before the 'living man' could even stand still, the two demons arrived: Horse-face reached out and ripped off the 'living man's' head; Ox-head drew his knife and chopped off the 'living man's' head.

However, there were quite a few of these 'living people,' and they were like soldiers formed from scattered paper. The two ghosts moved among the paper figures, but were easily escaped by the paper figures in an instant.

After escaping, he didn't run away, but instead stood still in mid-air:

"You have a pass to the underworld, and I have a theatrical troupe!"

After saying that, he pulled out a string of paper figures from his sleeve.

The paper figures swelled in the wind and transformed into members of a theatrical troupe the moment they landed.

These paper puppets immediately set up a stage and began to perform.

The laws governing genuine and counterfeit ghosts are relative. Counterfeits are naturally inferior to the Yellow Springs Road Guide, but the Yellow Springs Road Guide attracts ghosts, while the Paper Doll Zhang is ruthless and wants to attract the souls of the living.

Clang!
Amidst the noise, the people of Wan'an County were stunned. As soon as the eerie gongs and drums sounded, they couldn't help but head towards the paper doll troupe.

……

Paper Man Zhang had used this trick in Wuqing County before.

He used human lives as bait to interfere with Zhao Fusheng's attempt to lure away the ghosts and spirits.

At this point, he resorted to the same old trick.

He understood that Zhao Fusheng was no longer the same person she used to be, so he didn't confront her head-on. Instead, he tried to sabotage Zhao Fusheng by harming ordinary people and using any means necessary.

But Zhao Fusheng had anticipated his movements.

Liu Huacheng reappeared.

It holds a register of ten thousand names in one hand and a "Qiankun Pen" in the other.

With a flick of the brush, the paper puppet troupe that had just appeared was silently erased.

The rule of binding the souls of the living was interrupted. The people who were about to walk towards the paper doll troupe came to their senses. They looked bewildered and stood frozen in place, not knowing what had happened.

Liu Huacheng walked towards the living people, and the ghostly shadow passed through them one by one. It wanted to take their lives, but the lifespan and death of these people had already been recorded in its ghost book. Once the law was established, even the owner of the book of life and death could not break the rule.
