The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 210 A Battle from Afar and the Reunion of the Flying Head Descent
On the altar, there were two carefully made straw figures. One of the straw figures had many needles stuck in its body, from its head to its legs.

Next to the scarecrow was a jar containing a mixture of a viscous liquid that had seeped from crushed insects and some other substance.

The young man, exuding an evil aura, chanted incantations and cast spells while picking up a short needle. He dipped it in some sticky liquid from a jar and then stabbed it into the straw effigy that was already covered in needles.

More blood flowed from the man's mouth.

Not only his mouth, but as time went on, blood also flowed from the man's nostrils, ears, and even his eyes.

The man began to tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, he couldn't help but let out a scream and vomited a mouthful of blood, staining the altar and some of the insects on it bright red.

The insects became agitated, scrambling to suck the blood.

The man's face became even more ferocious, and the blood vessels in his eyes increased visibly.

The straw figure on the altar suddenly exploded, scattering straw fragments everywhere.

The man groaned, and dark blood flowed from all seven orifices.

He slowly reached out and removed the white cloth wrapped around his neck, revealing a huge, gruesome wound.

Then, his head and the upper part of his neck twisted strangely and slowly rose upwards.

The trachea can be clearly seen being pulled up as the head rises from the wound.

An even more sinister and terrifying aura emanated from the man.

A sudden gust of cold wind blew open the doors and windows, causing the huge talismans pasted on the walls to rustle loudly.

The man looked at the straw figure on the altar, and the black aura emanating from him slowly enveloped the straw figure.

With a "bang," the straw figures suddenly exploded into pieces.

The man's head suddenly fell back onto his neck, and he collapsed forward with a scream.

"Who is it?! Who... is breaking my spell..."

……

Several more wounds appeared on his body, and large amounts of flesh and blood fell off Li Zhen's body.

The wounds now are even more horrific than before; each one is a penetrating wound, as if someone had pierced his body with a sharp blade or a long needle.

Even with Li Zhen's willpower, he could not remain completely indifferent to the excruciating pain caused by such an injury.

His brows furrowed, and his face turned very pale.

However, this pain did not affect Li Zhen's movements.

He closed his eyes, but the incantation he was chanting never stopped.

A terrifying aura emanated from him, filling the room and making the atmosphere increasingly frightening.

The red-eyed bat flew off the banshee and landed on the side of the crib, its crimson eyes looking at Li Zhen.

The baby's cries in the crib grew increasingly piercing, sounding as if it were about to die.

Lying on the ground, Lin Jiabi grew increasingly anxious but powerless, only able to try her best to turn her eyes toward the crib.

At one point, Li Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, bent down, and spat out the last centipede from his mouth.

Feeling something, he looked up at the window.

The windowpanes shattered simultaneously, making a piercing sound.

A human head, dragging its entrails, rushed in through the broken window like a phantom, but as soon as it entered the house, it retreated and disappeared into the rainy night.

The red-eyed bat let out a strange cry and chased after the bat into the rainy night.

An extremely evil and bloody atmosphere brought a foul wind to the room, making Li Zhen's body itch.

"Flying head descent?"

Li Zhen reached out and wiped the rain from his eyes.

Under the influence of the opposing forces, he saw a phantom of the opponent's flying head, not the actual flying head itself.

If the other party dared to cause him trouble with a flying head that hadn't yet reached its full potential, he definitely wouldn't let them leave so easily.

Judging from its aura and presence alone, this flying head is somewhat different from the flying head curse that Li Zhen saw in "The Devil".

This is not something strange.

Although many black magic spells have the same name, the evil gods worshipped by the black magic practitioners and the methods they learn may differ, which will lead to differences in the way the spells are practiced and the power they exert.

This person's flying head curse is not as powerful as the flying head curse performed by the sorcerer in "The Demon," but Li Zhen knows that this person's flying head curse has not yet been fully mastered.

If this person were to master the Flying Head Curse, its power might surpass that of the Flying Head Curse from the sorcerer in "The Demon"...

Li Zhen was very interested in the sorcerer's flying head curse and the evil god the sorcerer worshipped.

As for the former, his current state is very special. If he could obtain the other party's method of cultivating the Flying Head Curse, and combine it with the information he obtained about the Flying Head Curse in "The Demon", he might be able to cultivate a special Flying Head Curse.

The latter, naturally, stems from the need for visualization.

Although he was unsure of the specific demon the other party was visualizing, Li Zhen was certain that the demon the other party was visualizing was different from the three major demons he was visualizing.

If the opposing demon is one of those major demons and is in good condition, then it can become Li Zhen's next object of contemplation...

Looking down at his body, Li Zhen found that there were no new wounds on his body.

Given the advantage the opponent had, this level of black magic could only cause limited harm to him.

After glancing at the blood and flesh left on the ground, Li Zhen turned his gaze back to the baby.

Upon lifting the baby's eyelids and seeing no abnormalities in the baby's eyes, Li Zhen was relieved.

After taking a few steps back, Li Zhen ordered the female demon to release Lin Jiabi.

Once she realized she could move again, Lin Jiabi crawled to the crib on all fours and scooped the baby inside into her arms.

After frantically checking the crying child's body and finding that the child did not seem to be seriously injured, Lin Jiabi carefully wiped the blood off the child's face.

She kissed the child on both cheeks before remembering that there was another being in the house, someone who didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost.

Lin Jiabi pulled her foot away from the pool of blood on the ground, tightly hugging her child, and looked at Li Zhen: "You...you...who are you? My child..."

Li Zhen interrupted, "Your child is fine now, but you have a bigger problem, though you won't die anytime soon."

Perhaps because he has recovered somewhat, his voice is now more pleasant than before, and he speaks more easily, but it still carries a breathy quality, like he is panting.

"Your husband should be back soon. It wasn't just your side that had this incident tonight; an old police officer was also killed on your husband's side, and his death was gruesome."

"It's a pity I arrived here first, otherwise perhaps I could have saved him."

“When your husband comes back, ask him, and he will tell you what happened.” Li Zhen turned and walked out of the room.

He wasn't in the mood to say anything more; he just wanted to resolve his own problems as quickly as possible.

He has no choice but to restore his face to its normal state; otherwise, if he goes out with this face, no one will believe that he is actually a good person.

Lin Jiabi hurriedly chased after him out of the house, and asked hesitantly, "My headache, and my child... were they murdered?"

“Yes, a sorcerer has cast a curse on you.” Li Zhen turned to Lin Jiabi. “Could you find me a suitable outfit?”

His body was not only covered in the blood and flesh that had just fallen, but it had also decomposed once when he was buried, so one can imagine what he smelled like now.

Given his current condition, he couldn't even take a shower, so he could only change into clean clothes first.

The wary Lin Jiabi carefully entered a room and found a clean set of clothes for Li Zhen.

After taking the clothes, Li Zhen asked, "Can I borrow your car for a few days?"

"Downstairs, that red car downstairs is it." Lin Jiabi, hoping Li Zhen would leave as soon as possible, quickly tossed the car keys to Li Zhen.

"Thank you." Li Zhen took the car keys.

A breeze carrying moisture blew into the house.

The red-eyed bat flew silently past Lin Jiabi and landed on the banshee beside Li Zhen.

It sensed the presence of that sorcerer and followed that presence.

However, the place where the sorcerer was located was quite far from here, and tonight was a rainy night. Under such weather conditions, it was naturally unlikely that they could find the other party by traversing such a complicated environment.

Besides, once something seems amiss, given the sorcerer's cautious nature, the other party would definitely have already fled from where they were.

Even if you find the other party, it won't be of much use.

So even though he vaguely sensed the other party's location, Li Zhen didn't make any move to chase after them.

Upon suddenly seeing such a terrifying bat, Lin Jiabi's expression changed. She buried her child's face in her arms and took a few steps back.

Returning to the room where he had arrived, Li Zhen picked up the large black Buddha statue he had left there and walked directly outside.

As he opened the glass door of the house, he asked one last question: "Are there any large cemeteries nearby?"

“Yes.” Lin Jiabi gestured outside, “Just keep walking in that direction, and you’ll see a sign after about ten kilometers. Just follow the sign and you’ll get there.”

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhen took out a blue talisman from behind the female demon.

He placed the talisman on the shoe cabinet next to him and said, "I'm keeping this talisman for you. Don't lose it. If that sorcerer uses magic to harm you, this talisman can temporarily save your life."

"If you encounter an emergency and need to contact me, just burn this talisman yourself, and I will naturally sense it."

"Remember, the danger isn't completely over yet. Be careful in everything you do if you don't want anything to happen to your child."

"Also, your husband may not be honest about what happened when he went to Southeast Asia a few years ago, so don't be fooled by him."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lin Jiabi could say anything, Li Zhen walked out into the rainy night.

Lin Jiabi's home is in a nice environment; it's a detached house with a small courtyard filled with various green plants after you go out through the glass door.

Pushing open the gate to the courtyard, Li Zhen immediately spotted the conspicuous little car.

……

Watching Li Zhen disappear outside the door with the vampire, the banshee, and a terrifying bat, Lin Jiabi shuddered before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

In front of Li Zhen, for some reason, her body was always tense, and she dared not relax at all.

As she walked to the glass door, she glanced outside a few times and suddenly realized that she didn't even know the other person's name or who they were.

Turning her head to look at the strange blue talisman, Lin Jiabi felt even more puzzled.

Her sudden headaches, and the child... were they really under a curse?

Recalling the last words Li Zhen said before leaving, Lin Jiabi felt even more uneasy.

Anyone would feel uneasy if suddenly faced with something so strange.

The child suddenly started crying again.

Lin Jiabi shivered again, shook the child in her arms, walked to the sofa, picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground, and dialed her husband Zhang Lemin's number.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Worried that something had happened, Lin Jiabi immediately called the police station where her husband worked.

The phone is on.

Her husband's colleague told her that her husband had already finished get off work and was probably on his way home.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiabi called her husband again.

After making three calls, Zhang Lemin finally answered the phone.

"Hey, I'm driving, almost home..."

"Come back quickly! Something's happened to the child!"

"What's wrong with the child? Is he sick? Wait a minute, I'll be right there!"

Lin Jiabi didn't say much on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she carried her child into the room and cautiously closed the door.

She waited until she heard a familiar voice before carefully opening the door a crack.

Hurriedly returning home, Zhang Lemin saw the broken glass window by his door and, feeling anxious, called out "Jiabi" as he entered the house.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Jiabi open the door, and hugged Lin Jiabi who ran out.

Zhang Lemin's face wasn't particularly handsome, but it was very angular, with a cold gaze, a resolute mouth, and an overall tough police officer aura.

He was very tall, towering over Lin Jiabi, who was not short, by half a head.

Upon sensing that familiar presence, Lin Jiabi, who was being held in the arms of the servant, immediately burst into tears.

"Is the child sick?" Zhang Leming patted Lin Jiabi on the back to comfort her.

Lin Jiabi wiped away her tears, took a step back, and revealed the sleeping child's face to Zhang Lemin.

"How did you get hurt?" Zhang Lemin asked with heartache when he saw the wound on the child's forehead.

Lin Jiabi did not answer, but instead asked, "Do you remember that you went to Southeast Asia a few years ago to investigate a case?"
