The King of Curses

Chapter 59 A Butcher

“The King of Equality…!”

The title of "Ancestor" is known to everyone in the world. No matter whether one's feelings towards those top powerful people are respect, yearning or fear, it is impossible not to be aware of their existence.

And in this era, the title of "King of Equality" is the most feared one among them.

She acts according to her will, and her movements are completely irregular. The ends of the earth are just a step away for her. King Pingdeng can appear anywhere in the world wherever he wishes.

It is like a natural disaster that people cannot resist or predict, and it brings blood and gore wherever it goes.

Therefore, no one can complain even if they die in her hands.

But... if he was born with a worthless life, it would be fine. But for a spell master like him who had a promising future and was used to doing whatever he wanted, how could he accept the fact that he had to die just because of bad luck? !

"Why, why are you here..."

Le Shaowu finally understood that the reason why the space blockade was broken was not because the forbidden object in the hands of the Exorcism Specialist was destroyed by his companions, but because of the appearance of King Pingdeng.

As everyone knows, the special life ban "Avici Hell" possessed by King Pingdeng is the pinnacle of space interference curses, just like the "Tiankui Quanshou" of King Philosopher is the pinnacle of mental interference curses. All curses involving this field will be suppressed and difficult to take effect when facing them.

He opened his eyes wide in horror and suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

This was not because his companions were all dead, but because after the other party turned around, he found that his body had turned into a cement sculpture and could not move.

Unlike the small closed barrier just now, Le Shaowu realized that the space around him had solidified, and even the air on the surface of his skin was no longer flowing. He could not breathe fresh oxygen, so he felt suffocated.

"Why can't I be here?"

The other person laughed.

"You know better than me what you and your companions have done. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about me knocking on your door."

“Wait a minute…!”

His tongue and eyeballs moved with difficulty, as if he and the air had turned into a whole piece of amber, and he was the flying insect wrapped in the resin.

Le Shaowu knew he was going to die, and his heart was filled with despair. He tried to shout:

"Wait... don't kill me yet!"

King Pingdeng actually stopped moving.

"Well, I'll wait."

The other party looked at him with curiosity.

"What do you want to say in your defense?"

Driven by the desire to survive, Le Shaowu's brain was working rapidly and his whole body was sweating.

"I am... that... child of the 'Nine Ghost Mothers'... the most favored one!"

When facing an opponent he cannot defeat, he will use his backstage skills. This trick always works, but at this moment, he is unlucky enough to face one of the strongest in the world. Will it really work?

Yes, that’s right…!
There are others -

An "ancestor"... naturally can only be fought against by another "ancestor"!

"Also, I and...my mother have a connection with the King of Hell—"

He couldn't care less about all these and could only shout with his eyes closed.

"Oh, is that true?"

King Pingdeng stopped approaching.

"Ha ha……"

He found that the restraint on his neck had loosened, and he could finally breathe again, and suddenly he felt the joy of surviving a disaster.

He heard the voice of King Pingdeng light and joyful.

"How to do?"

"...I have a poisonous insect buried in my body. Once I get hurt, Mother will notice it. And Mother has a way to contact the Nether King..."

"Great."

He saw her smiling like a flower.

Le Shaowu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt half of his body lighten, as if he was about to float up——

Then, he glanced to the side and saw that half of his body had been cut off.

With the crown of his head as the center, along a dotted line, from top to bottom, from head to toe... Le Shaowu was split in half.

“Ahhh——?!”

Le Shaowu screamed in pain. He felt no pain. With one eye he could even see the brain inside the other half of the head and the internal organs squirming in the body cavity. This scene was extremely bizarre and completely beyond his psychological endurance.

"Sorry, I don't like torturing people."

King Pingdeng apologized sincerely.

"But this is to kill your entire family, so please be patient."

A curled-up little worm floated out of Le Shaowu's body, fell into King Pingdeng's hands, and was crushed by her.

King Pingdeng closed his eyes.

Spider-web-like cracks appeared in the space in front of him, revealing a void passage; at the other end of the passage was a huge underground cave.

The tunnel is deep and dense with water networks, and upside-down, glowing stalactites can be seen everywhere.

King Pingdeng raised the dagger in his hand and expanded the void.

The end of the passage extends further, and the view continues downward from the cave, eventually arriving at a bottomless abyss.

The valley bottom was pitch dark without a trace of light, emitting a strong stench, and the place was shrouded in an overwhelming miasma.

Beneath the abyss, there were piles of corpses of all sizes, some belonging to humans, some belonging to birds and beasts... Countless corpses piled up to form an abyss.

In the endless darkness, a pair of cold bright yellow eyes slowly opened.

That is a giant beast lurking in this abyss of bones!

The core of the Ghost Mother Society, which is said to have a close connection with the Nether King, the so-called "Nine-Child Ghost Mother" -

Not human at all...

With a terrifying inhalation sound like the rise and fall of the sea tide, the miasma in the abyss quickly dissipated and was swallowed by the giant beast.

Without the obstruction of miasma, the light from above the valley brought light back into the abyss and illuminated the entire appearance of the giant beast.

It awakened from a century-long slumber and slowly raised its jagged legs. Its skin looked like both an ancient tree and a rock. Before it fully stood up, its body was already as tall as a hundred-story building.

It has a pair of broken and rotten wings, hanging quietly on both sides of its body.

Hundreds of mummies were hanging on it, all with distorted faces, shaking slightly with the movements of the giant beast, and some even wailed like living people.

Then, it raised its head and saw the cave in the void.

It sensed that on the other side of the space, there was a group of insignificant ants; it also felt that the child who was connected to it by blood was suffering great pain.

Anger burned in its huge pupils, and its wings that covered the sky and the sun opened little by little. Suddenly, wind and clouds surged, and the whole valley was shaking.

It is ready to fly, to the human world to make a mess, to teach those ignorant humans a lesson.

"hello."

Then, it saw a tiny figure in front of it.

The ferocious beast looked down and saw the woman raising a knife towards it and said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, big guy. Say goodbye to this world."

……

Along with a terrifying roar like a storm and the loud sound of a giant creature falling to the ground, the void hole disappeared.

Le Shaowu was still alive. Although half of his body was chopped off, this should have resulted in his immediate death, but the power of King Pingdeng solidified it, so that his internal organs could still function, and he could even... still think.

"Where's that man?"

King Pingdeng put away his knife and asked in a low voice.

Killing the evil demon "Nine-Child Ghost Mother" that had been rampant in the world since ancient times was just a piece of cake for her, and she remained spotless.

However, no one answered her question.

"……coward."

For the first time, an expression other than a smile appeared on Queen Pingdeng's face, and she spoke coldly, as if that person was standing right in front of her.

"The Nether King didn't come."

She turned to Le Shaowu.

Before he could say anything, he saw her raise her hand.

Blood splattered everywhere and corpses fell to the ground.

The head that was chopped in two fell down and landed on the top of the human head memorial, and was buried with his brothers and sisters.

"Hey, Dongsheng, what do you think?"

Captain Feng asked in a low voice.

"What do I think?"

Cen Dongsheng sighed tiredly.

"I wonder if we got away with it."

He was protecting the young survivor.

The little girl has woken up and is now staring at the woman not far away, lost in thought.

He originally wanted to cover the little girl's eyes. After all, the series of scenes that just happened were too horrifying and enough to cause lifelong psychological trauma to minors.

...But the result was that even he himself was stunned and unable to react.

First, when King Pingdeng appeared, he casually built a terrifying murderous aura of human heads, forcing people to close their eyes; then, he split Le Shaowu into two halves, shattered the space, and killed the big boss "Nine-Child Ghost Mother" thousands of miles away with one sword.

"Yes, we were in great danger against Le Shaowu, so we planned to take the survivors with us to escape, but we didn't expect that he would have companions. Otherwise, uh..."

Captain Feng's expression was indescribably complicated.

"Thanks to... King Pingdeng."

Cen Dongsheng could understand his feelings.

After all, King Pingdeng does not have a good reputation.

The Nether King is certainly hated, especially by forces like the Ruling Bureau that pursue social order and are willing to protect ordinary people; but the threat posed by the Equality King to a peaceful society is no less than the former.

Not only the lawful curse masters, but even the criminals and sorcerers in the underground society are afraid of her existence.

But Cen Dongsheng said:
"Yes, thanks to her. Not only us, but after the death of the Nine-Child Ghost Mother, the Ghost Mother Society will also fall apart, and this way more people will be saved."

"..."

Captain Feng's expression became even more interesting.

Cen Dongsheng could guess his plan. The man in front of him really considered sacrificing himself to push the upper echelons of the ruling bureau to sanction the Ghost Mother Society.

But in the final analysis, this is just a gamble on a possibility; but for King Pingdeng, it is a trivial matter that he can do whenever he wants.

"Aren't you going to thank her?"

Cen Dongsheng said.

"I……"

Captain Feng smiled bitterly. When he was about to say something, his colleague beside him couldn't help but speak up:

"Wait, wait a minute, this isn't over yet, is it? You... aren't you worried about being killed by the King of Equality?"

His voice was still trembling. Facing the demons of the Ghost Mother Society, a sorcerer who was more powerful than himself, he could still risk his life and muster up the courage to resist; but facing the King of Equality, he felt exhausted just standing.

The gap is so huge that it can be said to be the distance between "man" and "God".

Cen Dongsheng and Captain Feng looked at each other.

"I don't think so." Captain Feng shook his head. "If she really intended to kill someone, our heads would definitely not be on our necks by now."

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about King Pingdeng knocking on your door." Cen Dongsheng shrugged. "Didn't she say that just now?"

Of course, no one mentioned the fact that they were commissioners of the Ruling Bureau at this moment - only a fool would think that King Pingdeng would let them go because of their so-called identity and background.

Cen Dongsheng even felt that if that demon boy had not said something extra, the Nine-Child Ghost Mother might still be alive and well.

That was a monster that had survived from ancient times and wreaked havoc on the world for thousands of years. It was second only to the evil god among ghosts and monsters. But now, just because Le Shaowu habitually revealed the backstage information, his entire family, including his mother, died.

Cen Dongsheng looked at the woman's back and took a step forward.

He was going to say thank you.

"Wait for me, Cen Dongsheng."

Captain Feng held him down.

"Why, you're not even allowed to say thank you?"

"…It doesn't matter if you say thank you, but from your tone, you don't really think that the King of Equality killed people just to uphold justice, do you?"

He warned seriously.

"I advise you to think it over carefully. The deeds of each ancestor are the first things that the ruling bureau requires to be memorized after joining the office. You know very well who she is."

Cen Dongsheng did not answer.

Yes, he knew it very well.

but……

Cen Dongsheng couldn't help but recall the middle-aged man who rushed into the evil spirit and sought his own death, and the companions who wandered with him and lost their families in the "passing of the ghost soldiers".

The demon boy Le Shaowu died, and the Nine-Child Ghost Mother fell. If the Ghost Mother Society was one of the culprits behind the "ghost soldiers passing through"...

If the people he knew who were trapped in hell could know about this, would they be able to feel a sense of redemption and comfort from it?
……

Yi Qingyan's gaze swept across the human head.

She raised her hand and looked at her palm in the moonlight.

The hands are as soft as catkins and the skin is as smooth as cream. There is no doubt that these are a pair of beautiful hands. They could belong to an artist, a young girl, or a stunning beauty...

The only thing is, it doesn’t look like the hands of a butcher whose hands are stained with the blood of millions of people.

Yi Qingyan seemed to be bored and let out a sigh that only she could hear.

She was ready to leave this place.

Just then, she heard footsteps. Someone was approaching her.

Yi Qingyan turned around and saw a young man holding the hand of a little girl.

"You are……?"

She smiled and asked politely.

"I am Cen Dongsheng."

The young man said.

"I came to thank you."
