Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 92: Making stakes

The red-shirted boy's body was devoured by five ghosts, whose eating manners were extremely gruesome and terrifying to behold.

When the red-shirted boy's body was torn apart, there were still blood, organs and the like remaining. The five ghosts did not care at all, and swallowed them with open mouths, even fighting each other for food!

Ah-Qiang watched from the side, his face ashen, his stomach churning so badly he almost fainted.

Ah Qiang's expression changed, and then he couldn't help but open his mouth and vomit.

vomit~

Chen Hengyi shook his head slightly as he watched all this.

He wiped his face, ruining Zhong Kui's mask, then shook his body, and Zhong Kui's costume transformed back into a well-fitting suit.

He withdrew from playing Zhong Kui.

Ah Qiang had just finished vomiting and came to his senses, but when he saw Chen Hengyi's figure, his eyes widened immediately. He couldn't help but cough twice, and then cautiously asked, "Boss? Is that the boss?"

Chen Hengyi nodded: "Otherwise, who do you think would be so kind as to come and rescue you?"

By this time, the five ghosts had completely devoured the red-shirted boy's body, leaving not even the blood-stained dust on the ground untouched.

They were all excitedly howling and wailing, which annoyed Chen Hengyi, so he took out a bell and rang it twice.

The five ghosts then transformed into gusts of yin wind and were drawn into it.

Seeing this scene, A-Qiang felt that his worldview had been completely refreshed.

My boss is a ghost hunter? No, no, no, he's not a ghost hunter, he was just performing in an opera. But how can an opera singer control ghosts?

Chen Hengyi looked at the other person's disheveled face, offered no explanation, and simply said softly, "Aren't you leaving?"

What are you doing here?

As soon as Chen Hengyi asked the question, A-Qiang seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly ran out, not daring to stay for a moment.

Chen Hengyi watched the other person leave, and then turned his gaze to the huge pool of water in the center of the cave.

When I reached out and touched it, the water was ice-cold to the bone.

He saw that beneath the deep pool were nine wooden stakes, each bound with the skeleton of a young child.

Purple talismans were pasted on the foreheads of these infant corpses. Chen Hengyi frowned: "Is this some kind of 'living stake' practice?"

He thought for a moment and then summoned the Five Ghosts again.

"Go and retrieve all the skeletons from below."

But as soon as one of the ghosts reached out to touch the deep pool, he seemed to be pulled towards the bottom by an invisible force. Fortunately, Chen Hengyi was quick enough to pull him back.

The ghost shuddered with fear: "Boss, this pool has a power that suppresses ghosts. I... I really—if I go down, I won't be able to come back up!"

Chen Hengyi had the other four ghosts try again, and sure enough, they were all unable to go into the water.

Chen Hengyi snorted coldly and looked at the five ghosts, asking, "Then what use are you?"

The five ghosts trembled with fear, but Chen Hengyi did not send them to their deaths.

With a shake of the bell, it was put away again.

Immediately afterward, he looked around to make sure there was nothing there, and then he plunged down.

As soon as he entered the water, Chen Hengyi felt the bone-chilling cold. The water was unbelievably cold, making his body shiver. The fire within his body emitted a slight warmth to resist the cold.

Fortunately, the pool wasn't very deep, and Chen Hengyi quickly arrived at the first corpse.

The corpse was bound with chains as thick as fingers. He took out Zhong Kui's sword and slashed fiercely, instantly breaking the chains.

Chen Hengyi then put the corpse in front of him, along with the purple talisman, into his Ruyi Suitcase.

But just as he collected the remains, he could feel the air around him tremble, as if something extraordinary had happened.

Without much thought, Chen Hengyi continued to hack at the chains in the water, one after another.

The underground cavern began to shake continuously, and when he finally collected the last corpse, he felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his back!

"strangeness...

""

Although the nine corpses were not heavy, after receiving the Ruyi Scepter, the weight spread across his body made him feel like he could hardly move.

Add to that the fact that it was in this biting cold, it was like a freezing hell!

Chen Hengyi clung to the rock wall of the deep pool, climbing up step by step.

The higher he climbed, the heavier the burden became, as if the entire pool was trying to press him down. He could feel every inch of his flesh and blood bearing immense weight.

He clenched his teeth, but his mouth was filled with the taste of blood, and his bones and muscles made a creaking sound.

He didn't understand why he had to endure such terrifying pressure just because he wanted to take the children's remains away from the deep pool.

But Chen Hengyi eventually climbed up the rock wall and reached the shore. As soon as he got ashore, the pressure that felt like Mount Tai vanished in an instant, and he seemed to hear whispers in his ears.

"Thank you....

Chen Hengyi was taken aback. He had intended to retrieve the children's remains, but what appeared in his hand was a handful of damp bone powder.

The corpses shattered the moment he emerged from the water, and at the same time, the souls that had been suppressed within them seemed to be released, which is why he heard that whisper in his ear.

Chen Hengyi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile, "That's good, that's good."

"My trip wasn't in vain!"

At this moment, a muffled sound came from the entire underground cave, and the whole cave shook violently!

The cave seemed about to collapse, so he dared not linger and quickly ran out.

He probably understood at that moment that the remains in the pool were likely the key to the cave's structure.

Just before rushing into the entrance, Chen Hengyi glanced back and saw the deep pool transform into a large whirlpool, engulfing everything within it.

Hearing the rumbling sound behind him, Chen Hengyi stepped into the underground parking lot, and the rumbling sound disappeared.

But when I turned around, nothing was left; all that remained was an ordinary stairwell.

Ah Qiang hadn't left yet. He looked at Chen Hengyi, who was soaking wet, and was about to say something.

Chen Hengyi immediately said, "Stop talking nonsense, go to the hospital to pick up your wife first."

Chen Hengyi simply activated the Qi Fire within his body, and the moisture covering his body was instantly evaporated.

Ah Qiang stared wide-eyed at the boss in front of him, who was emitting white smoke. For a moment, he felt as if he were seeing an immortal.

His mouth was wide open.

But Chen Hengyi didn't let the other party see for long. He acted swiftly and took A-Qiang directly to the hospital.

Ah Qiang was still a little confused. He asked, "Boss, how did you know Xiao Lan was hospitalized?"

Chen Hengyi said, "Because I knew what that brat wanted to do, I just made some arrangements."

As they talked, they soon arrived at a hospital.

Chen Hengyi first went to the front desk to inquire, and after getting the information, he hurried to the delivery room. He and A-Qiang arrived outside the delivery room.

When Chen Hengyi arrived, he saw Danyang waiting outside the delivery room.

Apart from that, the entire corridor was deserted, with not a single person in sight.

Ah-Qiang rushed forward, wanting to ask something, but unfortunately, there were still no results.

Danyang: "Don't worry, your wife's life will definitely be saved, but as for the child—you know, after this happened, it's hard to say."

Master Danyang told Ah Qiang not to have any hope.

When Chen Hengyi looked at the other person, he felt that even if they had a child, A-Qiang wouldn't dare to keep it.

The two then asked A-Qiang to wait there, while Chen Hengyi took out a purple talisman and handed it to him, while briefly recounting what he had seen and heard in the underground cave.

Danyang's expression immediately turned grim when he saw the talisman.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's actually—what a vicious curse!"
