Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chen Hengyi sheds his role as Emperor Huaguang, leaves Liu Chenghao's house, and returns to the stairwell.

He now understood that Liu Chenghao had been dragged into the bridal chamber by the ghost bride.

Although in the original storyline Liu Chenghao ran there on his own, his intervention now forces the ghost bride to change her plans.

Well, it was just a minor accident.

He looked at Xiao Chen, who was still unconscious, and simply picked him up and carried him downstairs.

"At this point, it has completely deviated from the original plot... I just wonder if Liu Chenghao's life is in danger?"

"And the bride. Is this maze just a way to buy time?"

Chen Hengyi pondered. At that moment, he carried Little Chen downstairs and out of the residential area.

Officer Li was immediately shocked and asked, "What... what's going on? What happened to him?"

Chen Hengyi shoved him into the back seat and quickly said, "Tell him not to go with him, he's been possessed by a ghost. Take him to the hospital to rest first. If that doesn't work, find someone to perform a ritual to see if they can bring his soul back."

Then Chen Hengyi planned to go straight to the old house where the ghost bride's corpse was located, but before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly woke up.

His voice was weak: "A ghost..."

"A ghost? You saw it? What did you see?"

"They're getting married, there are so many ghosts... they want to eat me... and there's someone else..." Xiao Chen mumbled incoherently.

Chen Hengyi looked at it, then took out a calming talisman and handed it to the old policeman: "Perhaps he's been frightened. Burn some talisman water for him to drink."

"This is?"

"It was given to me by someone else; it won't kill me anyway."

Old Li held the yellow talisman, glanced at his disoriented apprentice in the back seat, and frowned deeply.

"Wedding...so many ghosts...they're eating me..." Xiao Chen murmured intermittently, curled up in the back seat.

Chen Hengyi listened for a while and realized he couldn't get any useful information, so he didn't want to pay any more attention to the other party and was about to drive away in Li Ruonan's beat-up car.

But then, as Xiao Chen was speaking, his muddled eyes suddenly cleared, and he couldn't help but shout in a hoarse voice, "My name is Chen Wang!!!"

His head was held high, like a rooster being gripped by the neck, his eyes bloodshot as if they were about to drip blood.

"Chen Wang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Li suddenly felt a burning sensation all over his body.

Bang!

"What is this!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of bright yellow talismans that were burning fiercely.

Old Li was horrified; he knew the situation was definitely not good.

At that moment, a large hand grabbed Chen Wang's neck and pulled him sharply.

Chen Wang was pulled out and thrown heavily to the ground.

Chen Hengyi slapped him across the face: "What are you barking about, you dog?!"

Snapped!

The slap was so loud that it caused the surrounding crowd to stop and watch.

His slap was laced with hidden malice, like a whip being lashed out.

Two bloody teeth flew out and embedded themselves in the police car with a bang, the force of which made Old Li's eyelids twitch.

Chen Wang's face swelled up quickly, but his eyes also cleared up instantly.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

"I...."

Chen Hengyi: "Speak!"

When he heard the other person inexplicably call out his name, he already knew who was behind it all.

Who else is there besides the Great Black Buddha Mother?

Now that he's discovered it, Chen Hengyi certainly won't let it go.

But then he saw people gathering around him, and with a single elbow strike, he knocked Chen Wang unconscious. He then said to Old Li, "He's been hit. Let's deal with him somewhere else."

As if waking from a dream, Old Li quickly dispersed the surrounding crowd.

He then drove away in a police car as instructed by Chen Hengyi, while Chen Wang was stuffed into the back seat of another car and had several talismans pasted on him.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hengyi left the place.

Soon, the police car stopped in an empty open space surrounded by weeds, with an unfinished steel and concrete skeleton in the distance.

Old Li stood nervously to the side, his hands holding the ashes of the burnt talisman, which he was reluctant to throw away.

"Will Xiao Chen be alright?"

He was somewhat worried, then gritted his teeth and sighed, "I told you not to follow, and this still happened!"

"I should have stopped him earlier."

"Ugh."

Chen Hengyi took out two yellow talismans, crumpled them into small balls, and handed them to Old Li: "Put these in your ears as a precaution."

After Old Li did as instructed, Chen Hengyi flicked his wrist, and the Demon-Subduing Golden Spear appeared in his hand.

The spear tip was pressed against Chen Wang's chest.

"Great Black Buddha Mother, you're too stupid. Wouldn't it have been better to wait until I left before you acted... or rather you..."

Suddenly, Chen Hengyi paused, then asked uncertainly, "Or are you just stalling for time so the ghost bride can get married?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils turned pitch black, and blood lines instantly appeared around his eye sockets.

"Hehe..." A mocking laugh rang out.

The other party showed no fear of the demon-slaying golden spear in his chest and tried to stand up by force. His eyes clearly said, "If you have the guts, then make your move."

Chen Hengyi turned to look at Lao Li, only to find that the other man had already run twenty meters away.

Chen Hengyi showed no mercy; his golden spear flashed with crimson light and pierced through Chen Wang's chest, pinning him to the ground.

"Ah—" A piercing scream rang out.

With a blast of fire from the spearhead, the opponent was instantly rendered immobile, like a salted fish brought ashore.

"He's possessed by an evil spirit. I don't have the ability to save him. If you can find a master, perhaps it's not too late."

Old Li hurriedly shouted, "I don't know any experts! What should I do?!"

"I warned him three times... Now that things have come to this, I can't let him go, otherwise it will kill other people."

Upon hearing this, Old Li's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"I...I...but how can I face...his family still has..."

Chen Hengyi raised his hand to interrupt: "Everyone has their difficulties... You can't blame others for your own self-destructive actions." As he spoke, he glanced at the sky.

It looks like it will be dark in less than an hour.

He thought for a moment, then with a flick of his wrist, a gold brick appeared in his hand.

This is also one of the magical artifacts of Emperor Huaguang, called the Triangular Gold Brick.

It was forged by Emperor Huaguang using the golden sword of the Celestial Venerable Miaole, and is Huaguang's most frequently used and most powerful weapon.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hengyi pressed the gold brick onto Chen Wang's forehead, and a triangular fire pattern appeared on his head, just like the third eye of Emperor Huaguang.

The fire pattern carries wisps of flame, suppressing evil spirits.

Then he took out a demon-suppressing talisman and applied it...

After a moment, Chen Hengyi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, his eyes looking somewhat tired, and then said, "This is the limit of what I can do right now."

Pfft~

Chen Hengyi pulled out the golden spear, and Chen Wang closed his eyes and slept soundly.

Chen Hengyi called over Old Li and handed him several yellow talismans: "Now you can take him to a temple to see if there is a master who can save his life... Also, if he makes any unusual movements, it means that the suppression is about to fail. I hope you can make the right choice."

"You could try looking for a nearby temple that's considered efficacious and has a lot of worshippers... or the Fude Temple in Taipei would also be an option, but it's too far."

Actually, Zhoucang Temple would also work, but there's another Chen Duoduo there, and Aqing and his wife are too old to handle two people.

Chen Hengyi felt he had done enough; he had provided a way to save lives.

Old Li's hands trembled as he held the yellow talisman: "Then you..."

Chen Hengyi got into the car without looking back: "I don't know how to save people, that's not my profession. Now I'm going to kill ghosts, that's what I should be doing."

"Oh, right, take this. Call me if anything happens." Chen Hengyi tossed a NT dollar bill to Old Li.

After saying that, the engine started, the car swerved, and disappeared in a few breaths.
