Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 96 The Mad Ajiu

At the very moment Chen Hengyi killed the two men, on the other side, inside a gloomy room...

The room was small, with some children's toys scattered around. In the middle was an altar, and the light from the red candles on the altar illuminated the entire room.

The most striking thing here is that there are jars piled up everywhere, like urns containing ashes.

Just then, a jar on the altar suddenly exploded.

With a loud bang, like a firecracker, it made quite a commotion in the room.

Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed in from outside the door. He looked at the exploded jar, which was surrounded by white ashes, and his expression changed drastically.

"That group of people actually got into trouble! They weren't doing anything wrong..."

The newcomer was emaciated, with a sickly complexion, and his eyes were sinister and ruthless.

If Chen Hengyi were here, he would definitely recognize this person as Ajiu, the one he was looking for.

Ah Jiu coughed twice, then grabbed the grayish-white ashes scattered by the explosion, immediately stepped into a magical stance, and then threw them violently onto the candle flame.

Suddenly, a burst of fire shot up and lingered in the air for a long time. Ah Jiu stared intently at the fire, her brows furrowed tightly.

"That brat is dead too, so does that mean I have no hope of surviving? No, everyone's dead. But why didn't I notice before? Was it because my death was imminent and I was careless?"

Just as Ajiu was muttering to himself, a naked little devil suddenly jumped onto the table and started waving his arms and legs in front of him.

"Is someone investigating me?"

Ah Jiu's expression changed, and she slapped the brat, knocking him to the ground.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

Ah Jiu snorted coldly, about to say something, but then his face suddenly contorted in pain, followed by a rapid cough, as if he were about to cough up his life.

He quickly braced his back, took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, rolled up the ashes on the table, lit them, and took a deep breath. Only then did his symptoms subside, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

He exhaled smoke, which condensed in the air into the shape of a baby hugging its knees.

A moment later, he stood up and looked up at a wardrobe standing next to the door, which was covered with ink linen.

His expression was somewhat delirious: "I must live. Whoever wants me dead, I will kill them. No one can stop me from living!"

"I don't want to die!"

After leaving the villa complex, Chen Hengyi had been studying the [Summoning the Wind] technique.

Just half an hour later, he discovered that the wind seemed to be alive.

He was even able to negotiate with them to move his body so that he could walk faster.

However, this discussion is not done with words, but through spirit and intention.

This feeling is very strange, but it doesn't come without a price.

When he negotiated with these mischievous winds, although he did not consume the playful fire within his body, he did consume his spirit.

-

Just half an hour later, he realized that he felt as if he had just gone through a great battle. No, he had indeed just experienced a battle.

He didn't feel very tired after killing the three people, but he felt exhausted after studying the wind for only half an hour.

Chen Hengyi could sense that the potential of this Wind Summoning Technique was enormous!

Now, this allows him to move his body slightly, making him walk faster. Then, if countless winds come together to carry him and lift him up into the clouds, wouldn't that be like an ancient immortal riding the clouds?!

Besides moving his body, he can also use it to move flying swords, or other weapons, just like the legendary sword cultivators who can use their swords to strike down enemy generals from a thousand miles away!

He plucked a strand of hair from his head, and with focused concentration, the hair flew 0.5 meters away in a flash.

"Okay, it seems I still need to practice more in the future. Although I have great potential, it's still just potential."

O

Chen Hengyi sighed.

By the time he returned to the Central Building, it was already evening.

Meanwhile, Danyang was already waiting on the top floor of the building.

When Danyang saw him come in, she turned on the TV. A new news report was playing, and the TV host solemnly announced, "The notorious serial killer who shocked Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan has reappeared! We...!"

In the background of the host were three new scarecrows, only they were blurred out with mosaics.

Danyang chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so quick. You finished everything in just one day."

.

As Danyang was speaking, a sudden gust of cold wind blew in from outside the window.

In the blink of an eye, the five ghosts appeared in front of the two.

The Five Ghosts said, "Boss, boss, mission accomplished! Same as last time."

Danyang had already learned during their interactions that Chen Hengyi had five ghosts under his command, so it wasn't surprising.

Chen Hengyi nodded in satisfaction, noting that the Five Ghosts had done a fairly efficient job.

He thought for a moment, then took out five pieces of ghost money from his wallet, the smallest denomination of which, of course.

As soon as he took out five pieces of ghost money, the eyes of the five ghosts lit up, but they did not dare to make any big moves yet.

Chen Hengyi thought for a moment and then said, "Originally, the five of you were guilty of heinous crimes. Even if you died, it would only mean I'd have to spend more time catching another one to replace you. But now it seems you've all been quite diligent in your work..."

Chen Hengyi paused, then, under the expectant gazes of the five ghosts, he continued, "From now on, you will have new names."

Upon hearing this, the five ghosts immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Please bestow a name upon us, Boss! Thank you so much for bestowing a name upon us!"

Chen Hengyi then said, "Let's name them after the five elements that you each belong to, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

As he spoke, Chen Hengyi snapped his fingers, and the fire directly ignited the ghost money in his hand.

As the ghost money burned, emitting wisps of smoke, the five ghosts came forward one after another, sniffing the smoke and stuffing the ashes from the burning ghost money into their mouths, before revealing blissful expressions.

"Ah, it's so great to work for the boss..."

After they had all received the ghost money, Chen Hengyi rang the bell again and collected it all.

Seeing this, Danyang couldn't help but feel a little envious, saying, "It's not that no one in Hong Kong raises five ghosts, but they all need incense and blood offerings, otherwise they will all become ferocious and devour their masters. I have never seen a vicious ghost as obedient as you, with all five elements."

"That's a really clever tactic."

Chen Hengyi chuckled but didn't say anything.

But then he took out an urn and handed it to Danyang.

Danyang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "What's this?"

"These are the ashes of those nine children. I have now located the location of the evil cultist Ajiu, and I will go to meet him tomorrow. Please perform a ritual for these children's ashes to help them pass on to the afterlife."

Upon hearing this, Danyang naturally did not refuse. After receiving the urn, he immediately began preparations, as he also wanted to meet with Ajiu.

After all, the two had a past relationship, and strictly speaking, they could even be considered fellow disciples.
