Chapter 114 Ascension to the Gods (1)
The mansion in the center of the village.
The green will-o'-the-wisps were also dancing crazily outside the mansion, but they seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to actually step into the mansion.
And in the deepest backyard of the mansion.
A circular altar stands in the center, made of dark ebony, with intricate cloud and thunder patterns and roaring ghost faces carefully carved on the edges.
What is placed in the center of the altar is the statue of Dingfu Shenjun that Bai Ming had seen before being carried around by the villagers.
The face of the statue is blurry, but it exudes a heart-stopping sense of majesty and oppression, as if it is looking down coldly.
Under the statue of the god, a huge strange formation was engraved on the ground in the backyard, which was outlined by a mixture of blood and cinnabar.
The lines of the formation slowly twist and squirm as if they are alive, exuding a strong ominous aura.
Village Chief Li was standing in the center of the formation, but his face was ashen, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and his body was covered with blood stains.
Obviously, the ceremony was forcibly accelerated, which brought a great burden and backlash to him.
Li Xiangshen stood aside, his fat face distorted by extreme anger, his eyes staring at the man in front of him like fire.
[Boss] stood on the edge of the formation, with an unabashed joking in his tone: "My dear Village Chief Li, the ceremony is about to be completed, why don't you look very happy? I kindly helped you speed up the steps, saving you a lot of trouble of waiting."
He turned sideways and pointed at the corner of the formation casually.
There, [Mute] collapsed on the ground like a rag doll, the devil's heart in his hand had been broken into pieces, and he himself was even more dying, as if he had been completely drained of the last bit of strength.
The other three female teammates were in the same miserable state. They fell at different points of the formation, their bodies twitching slightly uncontrollably. Their vitality was being wildly extracted by the formation under their feet. Their faces were withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their youth and lifespan were rapidly passing away.
"Look, my four teammates are almost exhausted. Isn't this sincerity enough? Why are you still angry about this?"
The [boss]'s voice was full of sighs, just like a worker who worked overtime but didn't get a reward from the boss.
"In other words, you cruel bosses are really cruel and think that all our contributions are voluntary and taken for granted."
Li Xiangshen stood up suddenly, pointed his stubby finger at the boss's nose and roared: "Who asked you to start the ceremony now! You idiot! Do you know that if you force it before the time comes, the foundation will be unstable and there will be endless troubles! You have ruined our big event!"
[Boss] spread his hands indifferently, looking like a rogue: "Whenever the time is not right, the rigid rules should be flexible. I only know that my subordinates and I have tried our best and exceeded the quota. So, you bosses should support us now." Pay the appropriate reward.”
Squire Li was so angry that his whole body was shaking violently: “You ungrateful foreigners! If we hadn’t taken you in and rescued you, you would have been cut into pieces by your enemies!”
【Boss】laughed and pointed at his dying teammates and the village outside the window that had turned into a sea of green fire: "So aren't we trying our best to repay the favor now? Look, didn't this inverse Five Elements Inversion Formation be successfully activated in advance? The effect is so spectacular."
Li Xiangshen looked out the window at the purgatory-like situation in the village. His chest heaved violently and he was so angry that he could hardly speak.
[Boss] shook his head and sighed: "Since you are unwilling to pay the corresponding reward, I have to come and collect it."
Village Chief Li, who had been silent, finally spoke again, with a hoarse and cold voice: "Are you sure you want to be my enemy at this moment?"
[Boss] seemed to have heard a big joke: "Hahaha! Why can you still say such innocent words when things are about to end? Aren't we already enemies?"
Village Chief Li's eyes flashed sharply: "Okay!"
Before he could finish his words, a shadow suddenly appeared behind him.
The little girl who looked like Sisi and was wearing a coarse cloth t-shirt with a twill collar appeared first, with tears and black blood flowing from her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a mass of terrifying black hair, as thick as ink, squirming crazily, surged out from the ground.
In the end, the knocker with huge fists and wrapped in a substance-like black energy appeared.
And they are as powerful as they were in their heyday before their decline.
Three powerful strands of resentment locked onto the [Boss] at the same time, swooping over like an arrow from a string!
However, the [Boss] looked calm, and there was even a trace of ridicule on the corner of his mouth. He just lightly snapped his fingers.
One by one!
The sound is crisp and clear.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
The three female players who had fallen on the formation nodes, with their vitality almost drained, suddenly emitted a blinding pale light from their bodies.
Their bodies and the formation lines in the area beneath them turned into pure and colorless energy in an instant.
Like a transparent but indestructible cage, it suddenly expanded and instantly enveloped the little girl, the black-haired man, and the knocker.
The three powerful ghosts could not even utter a scream. Their bodies quickly decomposed and melted in the void energy, as if they had been completely wiped out from this space and had never existed.
Woof! Wang Yiyi!
At this moment, accompanied by a rapid and weak barking, a thin, skinny little native dog suddenly burst out from the darkest corner like a gray lightning bolt and rushed towards the [boss].
The extreme longing for fresh flesh bloomed in those dog eyes. They stared at [Boss] and tried to force him to look at him. [Boss] seemed to have expected this move. The corners of his mouth raised a sneer again and he snapped his fingers again.
One by one!
The moment the voice fell, the body of [Mute] who collapsed on the ground had the most violent convulsions, and the shattered remains of the ghost's heart in his hand were completely turned into ashes.
A far larger, more violent and extremely unstable void energy than before suddenly burst out from his body.
This time it did not form a cage, but turned into a destructive, silent shock wave, sweeping forward in a fan shape and instantly sweeping the little native dog's figure. In the impact of this void energy, it only let out a short whine, and then instantly collapsed and disappeared, turning into nothingness.
At almost the same moment, the figures of several small local dogs that followed one after another jumped out from the surrounding shadows. Under this energy, they were annihilated silently like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun.
【Boss】smiled with satisfaction and looked at Village Chief Li: "I know your trick. It seems that "Weak Wood" restricts you from going out without control, but in fact, the real core controller is you, Village Chief Li."
"It is also because of this unfinished ritual that you are forced to stay here. Once you leave and lose the power of the ritual, your current form of existence will probably truly perish immediately."
"And since the "weak wood" was arranged by you, you can naturally control it to a certain extent. Unfortunately, I was prepared. "
Like a hunter with a winning chance, he approached Village Chief Li in the center of the altar and Squire Li next to him step by step.
An invisible majestic force burst out instantly, slamming the fat Squire Li away like a fly.
At the same time, the blood-colored formation on the ground once again lit up with a strange light, and another piece of void energy surged out, accurately wrapping Mr. Li in mid-air.
Just like dealing with the three ghosts before, Li Xiangshen's figure quickly faded in the void, and finally disappeared completely without leaving even a trace.
In a blink of an eye, only Village Chief Li, who looked even more ugly, and the [boss] who were pressing closer were left on the altar.
【Boss】stopped a few steps away from Village Chief Li, shook his head, and said with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Don't show that ugly expression of having already lost. If you want to steal the power of Lord Dingfu, isn't your most powerful trump card right now, the divine power that you have tried so hard to get?"
"Or? Would you rather not use this power and die in my hands right now?"
The anger and gloominess on Village Chief Li's face suddenly faded like the tide, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Wai Mazi."
"Thank you for your help. I cleared these oranges, otherwise I would have to do some tricks in the process of ascending to the gods. "
"By the way, I also want to thank you for helping me complete and strengthen the reverse five elements formation."
"In order to thank you, I will offer you as a sacrifice for my ascending to the gods."
