Chapter 455

The crutch dragged along the stone slab road.

Above, the old woman's figure descended.

For as long as Lin Shu You had been watching at the alley entrance, the ghost general nearby had been staring at him for just as long.

Even if he were an ordinary passerby, just passing through or stopping to daydream, he would still be stained with original sin. Blame it on your bad fate; so-called unprovoked disasters are prepared for you.

And if your pupils could reflect what was truly happening inside, then you already had a way to die.

They didn't rush to take action against him; firstly, there was no need for it for the time being, and secondly, things had to have a sense of priority.

Therefore, even if Lin Shu You had turned around and left safely just now, it would have taken quite some effort.

But since Lin Shu You chose to actively move forward inside at this moment, the matter that could have been solved later was brought forward.

The old woman's cold gaze stared at Lin Shu You, and a creepy sound came from her throat:

"There is a path to heaven you don't take, there is no door to hell you throw yourself into."

The old woman thought her identity was very suitable for saying such things.

However, what she didn't know was that Lin Shu You came from the real hell.

The Ghost Marshal official position goes without saying; even the Bodhisattva to whom the Official General Head nominally pledges loyalty nowadays is also padding the bottom in hell at this moment.

As for the door to hell, it exists.

When following Brother Xiaoyuan, Lin Shu You could often see it.

Brother Xiaoyuan said this door was solid and steady, suitable for smashing people.

The old woman prepared to strike.

And then,

The old woman had no chance to strike.

Lin Shu You's left hand gripped her neck, and with a "bang," he threw her whole body against a wall on one side.

His right hand raised the crutch that the old woman had used earlier; the sharp tip of the crutch drew a string of dazzling sparks when it passed between the stone slab and the wall on the other side.

Black Qi rose around the old woman's body; her thinking hadn't yet adapted to the current situation, and she instinctively initiated a counterattack.

Lin Shu You's vertical pupils opened.

In an instant, it seemed as if a cold waterfall swallowed the old woman from top to bottom, extinguishing all the arrogance on her body.

The old woman: "You..."

"Puff!"

The crutch pierced into the old woman's chest.

Without hesitation.

Pull out, pierce in; pull out again, pierce in again; continue to pull out, continue to pierce in.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The other ghost generals on the roof still had the old woman's previous saying echoing in their ears, but in a trance, the old woman herself was lifted up and pressed against the wall, and the crutch poked out a swift afterimage.

Going out to buy buns and fried dough sticks, naturally, one wouldn't carry a murder weapon.

But even if the golden mace wasn't in hand, this crutch attached with the phantom of a trident was enough.

Every piercing was the influx of a trident phantom; what was damaged was not only this body the old woman borrowed to return her soul, but her true soul had long been riddled with holes.

A You released his hand and continued forward.

After he left, the old woman slowly slid down from the wall.

She sat paralyzed on the ground, black blood surging from the corners of her mouth, her eyes twitching, and wisps of messy black smoke constantly overflowing.

Having already died once, she felt the fear of termination countless times colder and more desperate than the first time.

She wanted to open her mouth to warn her colleagues, to warn them what a terrifying existence this young man in front of them was.

But what couldn't make a sound was not only her physical body but also her soul that was collapsing and disintegrating.

Chen Lin's brother crawled on the ground, the soul body on him also making its final pale struggle, completely unaware of what had happened behind him.

But the old man located at the other end of the alley, facing inside, saw it.

The bell was still ringing, the seal was still being pinched, and his eyes were still digesting the scene he had just seen.

Immediately, in his eyes, that crutch was getting bigger and bigger.

The old man suddenly threw away the bell, released the hand seal, and dodged to the side to the limit. The crutch flew past his chest. Although it didn't pierce him, a burning pain still came from his chest.

Glancing down, the black robe was torn, with three bloody gullies.

A chill arose in the old man's heart.

After throwing the crutch, Lin Shu You stood in front of the brother-in-law.

The soul body on the brother-in-law had already been tortured into mental confusion. After losing suppression, it subconsciously hissed at Lin Shu You, who was closest, and made a move to pounce.

Lin Shu You raised his foot and stomped down.

The arrogant and crazy soul body first twisted, then caved in, and finally was compressed back into the brother-in-law's body like a balloon.

There was a slight deviation in the mastery of strength.

Because Lin Shu You overestimated the current weakness of the soul body, after kicking it back too easily, the remaining force on his boot stepped on the brother-in-law's back.

"Bang."

The brother-in-law's four limbs stuck to the ground, head facing down, knocking on the stone slab.

Then, he didn't move.

The other boot surface was just in front of the brother-in-law's nose. Looking at the mist constantly emerging on it, it was confirmed that the brother-in-law was not dead and still had breath.

The unconscious brother-in-law was more suitable for transport and rescue. Just as Lin Shu You made a move to bend down, a ghost general slid down from the walls on both sides.

The Ghost Marshal mark covered by the forehead ornament lit up.

Lin Shu You threw a punch forward.

"Boom!"

The ghost general on this side hadn't even landed on its feet before it was struck in mid-air and directly exploded.

The ghost general on the other side was a bit luckier; it landed on its feet.

Greeting it was the leg Lin Shu You raised and kicked backward after throwing a punch.

"Boom!"

The ashes collapsed and scattered, and the soul shadow was gone.

Whether it was the overriding command of the Ghost Marshal identity or the Official General Head's killing of evil ghosts without saving them, Lin Shu You's dealing with these ghostly things was a natural suppression.

Not to mention, every punch and kick of Lin Shu You was attached with the wailing of fierce ghosts being beheaded and sacrificed under the Fengdu hell by the Zhao family.

A You's advantage lay in quick battles and quick decisions; opponents who couldn't even take a single blow were his best targets for quick decisions.

The old man: "There is no ghost smoke marker rising on your body. This matter here has nothing to do with you. Who exactly are you, and why do you want to oppose my Living Person Valley?"

When you are weak, passing by is a mistake; when you are strong, even if you kill their people, there is still room for negotiation.

This world of rivers and lakes, with the passage of time and changing scenery, no matter how many layers of skin have been changed, the fist is always its background color.

Lin Shu You grabbed the brother-in-law and prepared to leave.

If he could leave at this time, the impact on Brother Xiaoyuan's plan could be suppressed to the minimum.

Lin Shu You before taking action was innocent and lively; Lin Shu You after taking action was decisive and calm.

This stemmed from the psychological suggestion caused by the practice of face-opening and spirit-inviting exercises time and again since childhood.

It was just that the old man obviously didn't want the prey he had been thinking about and almost had in his mouth to fly away like this.

After a brief inner struggle, the old man waved his arm.

A net covered down from above the alley.

Lin Shu You released his hand and put down the burden.

The brother-in-law's face kissed the earth again.

Lin Shu You's figure first rushed toward the old man, and this net also accelerated and tightened in front.

In the next moment, Lin Shu You's figure stalled and fell backward.

The net's reaction was a beat slow, and it was caught at the weak point in the rear by Lin Shu You, who jumped up, easily bypassing it.

Borrowing force from the walls on both sides with his feet, Lin Shu You leaped out of the alley. Below, on both sides of the old man, a middle-aged man and woman each held a net rope in their hands.

Lin Shu You first pounced toward the woman.

The woman released the net in her hand, took out two daggers, one flew out from her palm toward Lin Shu You, and the other was held in reverse in her hand, drawing a talisman in front of her.

Lin Shu You threw a punch toward the air at a high place in the diagonal front, his figure falling rapidly toward the diagonal lower part, just arriving in front of the woman.

The woman's talisman had just finished the last stroke, but this talisman had previously aimed at the top.

At this moment, she could only pierce the talisman paper with the tip of the dagger, forcibly changing the direction to aim at Lin Shu You.

The vertical pupils in Lin Shu You's eyes rotated.

Having been with Brother Xiaoyuan for a long time, he was really somewhat unaccustomed to seeing this way of drawing talismans and performing techniques.

But even Brother Xiaoyuan had been thinking about and covering up the problem of being approached, so how could this woman be an exception?

Horizontal elbow, collision; before the woman had time to activate the talisman with the newly adjusted direction, Lin Shu You used an elbow strike to smash it to pieces.

Immediately following was a smooth turn, grabbing the woman's wrist, and then borrowing his own inertia to break the muscles and bones she tried to struggle with, letting the dagger in the woman's hand pierce accurately and without error into her own neck.

Fresh blood splashed, hitting Lin Shu You's face, bringing a warm sensation.

She was not a ghost general; like that old man, she was a living person.

The woman's eyes opened wide, unable to believe that this was actually her ending. She wanted to pull out the dagger that had pierced her neck, but from her palm to her forearm, she was already as soft as mud and couldn't exert any strength at all.

Lin Shu You helped her, grabbed the dagger in her hand, and pulled it out.

There was a lateral force when pulling it out.

"Puff!"

The woman's line of sight flipped, and in this process, she repeatedly saw her own body standing there and constantly moving away.

After her head landed, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, slowly closing until she completely fell into darkness.

Lin Shu You, holding the dagger, rushed toward the old man again.

The old man recited a spell.

"Hum!"

The man behind him flashed and appeared in front of the old man, holding a killing-power stick, blocking Lin Shu You's dagger.

Ghost cultivators generally walk the path of techniques, a small number of talented ones walk the path of formations, and even scarcer ones walk the path of secrets.

The guy who was full of pus and fungi he encountered at the three-eyed family's ancestral home back then walked the path of secrets, refining himself into something that was neither human nor ghost.

Besides this, the most unpromising and least promising ones would refine their bodies.

It's not that body refining doesn't work, but that every inheritance has its own focus. Even Runsheng, who doesn't know how to walk the underworld yet, would find it very difficult to arrange a suitable position in hell.

The method of body refining is very simple: constantly introduce ghost Qi into the body and hammer it. The final result is that the person is not like a person, and the ghost is not like a ghost. There might be some advantages in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, the upper limit is blocked, which is incomparably tasteless.

After the man blocked Lin Shu You's dagger, he didn't have time to catch his breath before Lin Shu You's dagger slashed down rapidly and continuously.

The speed was fast, and the angle was tricky.

The man barely parried, gradually becoming unable to support it.

He couldn't understand why this person in front of him, who in his cognition was also a ghost cultivator refining his body, could be so ridiculously strong, as if there were no upper limit?

Even if Lin Shu You had nothing to do and went to repair circuits for the old people in the village, he wouldn't waste time thinking about this kind of problem.

Brother Xiaoyuan stood behind their group of people. Every time Brother Xiaoyuan went up a level, the next thing he would do was to pull them up together. Brother Xiaoyuan was their upper limit.

However, this man in front of him did indeed consume more of Lin Shu You's time.

This allowed the old man behind the man to successfully cast his technique, and ghost infants appeared one after another, circling toward Lin Shu You.

Seeing this, the man wanted to retreat and catch his breath.

Lin Shu You withdrew his hand, looked at this group of ghost infants, and gave the man a chance to retreat.

While the man was putting away the killing-power stick and changing his breath, Lin Shu You's figure was like electricity, rushing toward him, and dust was kicked up on the ground.

Tongzi's combat experience had long been shared with Lin Shu You. This kind of adjustment of tension in battle had long been perfected.

The man didn't expect that the other party would dare to attack him regardless while being attacked by the technique. The old man in the rear was so angry that he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out essence blood, and the ghost infants began to emit red light, pouncing toward Lin Shu You.

The killing-power stick was raised, wanting to block the dagger like before, but who knew that what slapped up this time was Lin Shu You's hand.

Lin Shu You grabbed the killing-power stick, followed its direction and also exerted upward force, the man's hands were raised high, and his middle gate was opened.

A You immediately approached, and the dagger pierced into his body.

The man let out a scream.

Lin Shu You stuck completely to the man, using the dagger pierced into his body as a door handle grip point, grabbing the man's body and turning it.

Blood-colored ghost infants rushed over, all striking the man's back.

"Ahhh!!!"

The man's scream became more intense.

His body also began to rot rapidly, and a thick aura of curses permeated his body.

The old man continued to spit blood to bless the ghost infants while saying:

"Misunderstanding, there might be a misunderstanding between us. That person, if you want to take him away, just take him away. Let's turn hostility into friendship!"

Lin Shu You didn't respond.

The ghost infants' attack didn't slacken either.

Finally, the flesh and blood of the man Lin Shu You used as a meat shield fell off, and the remaining white bones quickly turned black and soon fell apart.

Most of the ghost infants had been consumed, and the remaining ghost infants formed a smaller circle and pressed toward Lin Shu You.

Lin Shu You opened his mouth, and the White Crane Tongzi, who had long been preparing the technique in his body, was stimulated at the right time.

White flames sprayed out, turning to burn everything around. The ghost infants collectively let out screams that were both painful and relieved, all dissolving into black juice and landing on the ground before approaching Lin Shu You.

The old man tore open his gray robe, and two white skeletons pieced together from different people's bones stood up.

This stiff movement, this rough splicing, this simple and straightforward ghost Qi conduction pattern... all revealed a low-quality aura processed by an unlicensed small workshop.

Tongzi: "Those two things, the Loss and Gain Generals, are still eating too well!"

However, no matter how much he looked down on these two bone puppets, at least they were indeed worthy of being called strong and sturdy.

The old man also breathed a sigh of relief because of this and even turned his head to look behind him.

However, when he turned his head to look forward again, his facial expression immediately stalled.

He saw that terrifying guy not rushing toward his two bone puppets head-on at all, but moving rapidly to the outside, right in front of his face, circling a half-circle at a very fast speed.

Originally, the bone puppets were standing in front of him to protect him; now it had become him tightly protecting the two puppets behind him.

In the Nantong Dojo, after Lin Shu You finished improving, Zhao Yi had deduced in his mind how disgusting Lin Shu You was now.

At the moment, it was nothing more than disgust shining into reality.

The sturdy defensive line was bypassed, and Lin Shu You, holding the killing-power stick, rushed toward the old man.

No matter how hard the old man tried to control them, the two bone puppets were still too late to rush to his front quickly.

The old man withdrew his hand too late. When he wanted to take out something else to defend against the enemy, the killing-power stick had already been raised.

"Bang!"

With one stick down, the old man's head exploded, the stick's momentum didn't decrease, continuing to press down, and finally, like a knife, split the old man's body into two halves.

Lin Shu You withdrew the stick, poked the bottom of the stick on the ground, and with a trembling sound, all the red and white sticky things on the stick were shaken off.

At this time, if he took the brother-in-law back, and brought the breakfast and meat dishes he bought along, using this stick to carry them front and back, and running home quickly, the buns and fried dough sticks should still be warm and edible.

Tongzi: "Take your brother-in-law back. You saved that girl, and this time you saved her brother too. She must be fiercely willing to give herself to you and give birth to a football team of little True Lords for this seat!"

Just as Lin Shu You had just taken a step to prepare to return to the small alley, Tongzi's voice sounded:

"There's a big guy, overhead!"

Lin Shu You raised his head and saw the white bottom of a pair of boots.

The killing-power stick in his hand was gripped again, held at both ends, and blocked upward.

"Creak..."

This time, Lin Shu You felt extremely obvious pressure; the downward force of the other party was stronger than imagined.

"Crack!"

The killing-power stick broke, and Lin Shu You's feet slid a distance on the ground before stopping his figure.

The other party's figure fell, but the official boots didn't really touch the ground. If you looked closely, you could see there was still a chopstick-thick gap from the ground.

The official robe on this one was also different from those ghost generals; not only was it more elegant and luxurious, but the patterns embroidered on it even exceeded a certain specification.

If you had to make an analogy, it was the portrait of the Ten Kings of Hell often seen among the people. There might be differences in details, but in essence... it should be plagiarism and imitation.

Everything in the small hell, even if the strength level is not enough, in terms of presentation form, is aligned with the Fengdu hell.

The status of this one in front of him in the small hell was that of Yama.

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak..."

Its head rotated, turning from the front to the back, facing Lin Shu You.

The ornaments under its official hat couldn't hide its almost iron-blue complexion.

It wasn't because it was angry, but because it was just like that.

This small hell Yama was the person in charge of this Living Person Valley counterattack.

Its true body stood in the center of the city, suppressing the formation for this hunt.

Lin Shu You's continuous killings here startled it.

Most importantly, its true body was not far from here, and it was very fast to rush here after waking up.

But when it arrived, the people and ghosts here were dead if they should be dead, and dissipated if they should be dissipated.

Tongzi: "This guy is not easy to deal with, and after it appears here, whether near or far, those Living Person Valley people responsible for the hunt will immediately gather here."

Lin Shu You: "I'll take him and rush out?"

Tongzi: "Its barrier has already covered this place. It's hard to say whether you can escape safely, let alone take someone else... How about cutting off your brother-in-law's head and taking it away?

That way the success rate is higher, and you can give an explanation to that girl when you go back. At least there will be a head for her to see the object and think of the person." ===== CHAPTER 456 =====
