Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 75 The Five Ghosts' Command (Seeking First Subscription)

The moment the golden spear pierced the infant's body, the powerful recoil even tore Chen Hengyi's tiger's mouth apart!

In that instant, the entire dream world trembled as if an earthquake had struck. A roar of extreme resentment echoed in their ears.

The baby suddenly opened its eyes, its face frozen in time, never to change again. It reached out, trying to reach through the golden spear and grab Chen Hengyi.

However, Chen Hengyi remained unfazed. He opened his mouth and spat out a thin flame, which transformed into a fiery snake from his mouth and nose, turning towards his opponent.

A cracking sound came from this dream world, as if it were about to shatter like glass.

The baby stared intently at Chen Hengyi with eyes full of resentment.

"What a fiend! How dare you look me in the eye!?"

Meanwhile, in the real world, inside the Palace of Fortune.

Everyone looked at the two people on the bed; their breathing was steady, as if they were truly asleep.

But suddenly something strange happened! A series of loud bangs came from the Tiger God's altar.

Master Along suddenly turned his head, and his expression changed drastically, because he saw that the black tiger clay sculpture sitting upright was actually trembling!

Before he could make a move, the air was filled with the cries of countless babies.

The crowd was thrown into disarray, especially the two women, Shen Yijun and Li Shufen. Hearing the cries, they began to ramble incoherently, their eyes darting around as if they saw their own children walking towards them from the ground.

Li Yating, who was in bed, suddenly looked pained, trembled all over, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Master Along rushed forward and quickly straightened the clay tiger sculpture, shouting, "Quickly cover your ears, don't listen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tiger's roar suddenly rang out. Countless infant spirits appeared in the air of the Palace of Fortune, their bodies translucent and mutilated, crying in various postures.

The next second, the black tiger clay sculpture, which had just been steadied by Master Along, cracked in his horrified gaze!

Several tiny, spiderweb-like slits appeared on the face of the black tiger clay sculpture, and then a golden tiger leaped out from the slits, growing larger as it faced the wind.

It leaped into the air, looking at the infants with unwavering resolve, yet without any intention to kill. Its eyes held a compassionate gaze upon humanity, much like a tiger seeing its own cubs.

General Black Tiger let out a soft tiger roar, and then a strong wind blew up inside the Fude Palace, causing the tables, chairs, lamps and candles to rattle and pop.

The tiger ran a quick circle around the Fude Palace, and a whirlwind swept the infants' obsessions into the ground.

Everyone watched this scene, speechless for a moment. Seeing the Tiger God manifest, they dared not utter a word.

In the blink of an eye, all the noise disappeared, and everything seemed to return to its previous calm state.

Chen Hengyi slowly opened his eyes. Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why aren't you all saying anything?"

Chen Hengyi's voice broke the silence of Fude Palace, and everyone came over. Lin Junkai couldn't stop talking and quickly told Chen Hengyi everything that had just happened.

Finally, Master Along pushed Lin Junkai aside, looked at Chen Hengyi expectantly, and asked, "Is the Demon God dead?"

His gaze was fixed intently on Chen Hengyi, wanting to know an answer, and his heart was pounding.

Chen Hengyi nodded, and the next moment, Master A Long burst into laughter, saying "Good!" three times in a row.

Lin Junkai, belatedly realizing what was happening, exclaimed excitedly, "No wonder Tiger caused such a commotion earlier; it turns out the Demon God is dead!"

As he was speaking, his tone suddenly faltered, as if he had thought of something, and Lin Junkai knelt down with a thud.

He kowtowed three times to Chen Hengyi.

This left Chen Hengyi somewhat bewildered, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Lin Junkai looked up, smiling through his tears, and said, "Mr. Chen, you've avenged my father's death!!"

Chen Hengyi looked at Lin Junkai's forehead, which was bleeding from exertion, and got off the bed with a smile to help him up.

Master Along watched from the side and whispered, "I remember telling you that Akai's father died trying to seal away the Demon God..."

Not long after, Li Yating, who was lying on the bed, also woke up.

Chen Hengyi looked at his abdomen, where everything related to the Demon God had completely vanished.

He nodded to himself, then bid farewell to everyone and returned to his room. He wanted to explain the whole experience to Master Huaguang.

Inside the room, Chen Hengyi offered incense to the portrait of Master Huaguang and recounted everything he had experienced in his dream.

He impersonated Hua Guang, using the Green Dragon Crescent Blade given to him by Zhou Cang to cleave the water's surface. Then, he directly stabbed the source of the Demon God to death. Finally, Tiger Lord led him back.

After recounting his experience to the patriarch, Chen Hengyi sat on the bed and took out the black leather book.

He turned to the second page and saw the quest about the Demon God. With a thought, all the text disappeared completely.

Then, as usual, new text appeared.

[A mountain patrol rescues, a fortune establishes good customs, Mulian's demonic trick breaks through hell, two tigers enter the mountain to slay evil, a lone figure enters a dream to fight demons, a golden spear ruptures the fetus—is this a perfect ending? A clear conscience, let's see what happens next.]

After reading the mission summary, Chen Hengyi didn't say much, only tapping his fingers lightly, "And then, what's the reward?"

As soon as he finished speaking, this indeed refreshed something new.

What appeared in the black book was a Three Pure Ones Bell, with the five elements marked on the bell.

[Command of the Five Ghosts: Subdue the five ghosts, occupy the positions of the five elements, and command them at will.]

"The Five Ghosts' Command? What is that?"

The first thing that came to Chen Hengyi's mind was the legendary Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique, or the Five Ghosts Moving Technique.

Chen Hengyi reached out and took the Three Pure Bells off the black book.

As soon as he held the bell, he felt its weight, as if it were made of iron.

But when Chen Hengyi squeezed it again, he knew it was definitely not iron, but he didn't know what it was made of.

With just a gentle shake, a clear, ethereal bell rang out, as if it could pierce through the deepest abyss.

Looking at the five elements and directions above, I fell into deep thought for a moment.

Is he really going to catch five ghosts and stuff them inside?

However, Chen Hengyi doesn't know where to find five ghosts. But he could ask Master A Long for advice. As a local, he should know where ghosts are.

Now that Chen Hengyi no longer had the Five Ghosts, he temporarily put away the Three Pure Ones Bell. After looking at the black book, he couldn't help but think, "It's time to leave."

Thinking of this, I decided to make arrangements for those people outside, such as some things I had promised before.

"However, there are still a few days before we leave, so there's no need to rush."

After killing the Demon God, Chen Hengyi's body did not lose any energy, but he felt extremely tired, as if he had not slept for 10 days.

He yawned, rested his hands on the edge of the bed, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

He thought, "I'll say goodbye properly after I wake up."
