Chapter 124 Dogs Bite Dogs, Just Right

On Mount Great Sorrow, the State Preceptor saw Hu Ma attracting a bolt of crimson lightning and his expression instantly turned from shock to delight:

"So, you've long had the ability to take the second step on this bridge to the heavens?"

"..."

Previously, under his guidance, Hu Ma had cultivated nine incense pillars of fate, which was already the pinnacle of human achievement.

However, Hu Ma had taken the tenth pillar of incense at this extreme point, which was even beyond the scope of heaven and earth. It already belonged to adding supernatural powers to the "human" identity in this world. If compared, it was precisely matched with the "neither human nor ghost" realm of those ascending the bridge.

However, after obtaining the tenth pillar of incense, Hu Ma was intent on changing the world, and there was no further progress in the art of magic. The State Preceptor himself was also greatly frustrated.

After returning to Mount Great Sorrow, he experienced frustration, dejection, and constant contemplation, merely accepting his failure. For someone like him, the failure of a plan was naturally unacceptable, but what was even more difficult to accept was the sudden loss of a goal.

Previously, the White Jade Capital plan was the goal he was willing to devote all his energy and cost to.

After the failure of the White Jade Capital plan, other things that others could do were of little interest to him.

It was not until Hu Ma came to inquire about returning home that he once again became interested, but it was just a feeling of interest, without any specific hope, until now seeing Hu Ma transforming into a bridge, he felt an extremely impactful sense of excitement.

Since leaving the capital city, it was the first time that a sincere look of surprise appeared on his face.

The tenth pillar of incense corresponded to the realm of neither human nor ghost, and this transformation into a bridge, borrowing the heaven and earth's killing tribulation, already matched the second realm.

Neither ghost nor ghost!

This path was originally pointed out to Hu Ma by him, so how could he not be happy to see progress?

"I could have transformed into a bridge long ago..."

At this time, in the Underworld Palace, Hu Ma held the Owl Emperor Fierce Blade, stepping forward step by step, causing a surging murderous intent.

With a single slash, the entire palace was filled with wailing ghosts and howling gods, a scene of misery.

Whether it was the gloomy civil officials, the fierce military generals, or the strange maids and servants, facing the Owl Emperor Blade that triggered a wave of blood, they had all become like paper.

Wherever the blade passed, bodies were torn apart, and the ground was covered with arms and legs. Even the majestic purple qi above the Underworld Palace, as heavy as a continuous mountain range, was collapsing and chaotic under this murderous intent.

"After obtaining the ten pillars of incense, I already felt that this path was not yet at its end."

"I can either integrate into heaven and earth or steal from heaven and earth."

"But I can't do that. The Hu family walks the path of exterminating the law, and what Lao Jun Mei left behind is also the path of changing the world."

"If I take this as my goal, but secretly engage in theft, wouldn't I become the most hypocritical person in this world?"

"Because of this thought, I even feel a little confused about why the path behind the Da Wei Tian Gong (Great Majestic Heavenly General) technique is like this..."

"Until, I found a reason why I had to walk this path..."

"..."

His heart was shaking, as if he were talking to another self, and also as if he were explaining to this heaven and earth.

His steps did not stop, and his blade was uncertain, causing chaos in the Underworld Palace.

This Underworld Palace was indeed as terrible as the State Preceptor said, and this terribleness was specifically reflected in two points.

The first was the weight of fate, and the second was the weight of purple qi.

Because of the rolling purple qi in the palace, which could transform all things, even if Hu Ma killed all the civil and military officials in the palace, it would be in vain. Under the nourishment of the purple qi, they could immediately re-transform and make a comeback.

Therefore, from the beginning, Hu Ma never thought of forcibly fighting against the evil ghosts in the Underworld Palace with his own strength, but used the method of transforming into a bridge with his own body, bringing the killing tribulation of the human world here.

The killing tribulation of the human world cannot cut off the purple qi, but it can cut off the fate.

Purple qi needs to be suppressed by people with heavy fate.

The fate of these evil ghosts in the Underworld Palace was cut off, so they could not suppress the purple qi, which would make this purple qi a source without roots. At this time, Hu Ma transformed into a bridge, connecting the human world, and could send this purple qi back to the human world.

The faster the purple qi flowed away, the weaker and even exhausted the Underworld Palace would become.

In short, the more you kill, the richer the human world becomes.

"Human world, human world..."

"Returning to the human world, the incense of the people, is at this moment..."

But at the same time, the rolling killing tribulation that Hu Ma attracted, although it startled all the civil and military officials, and even the figure on the dragon chair, causing a lot of panic, they quickly became excited.

Extremely excited expressions appeared on their wooden and stiff faces, even looking somewhat crazy, quickly suppressing the fear in the palace.

All eyes were fixed on Hu Ma, and greed filled their eyes.

Hu Ma's transformation into a bridge meant that he had opened up the passage between the Underworld Palace and the human world, which was an opportunity to return to the human world.

Being able to lead the killing tribulation into the Underworld Palace, and also lead the purple qi of the Underworld Palace back to the human world, meant that they could also go out.

For the Underworld Palace, what could be more important than this?

Therefore, although countless Yin souls were killed by the Owl Emperor's evil blade, the color of fear in the palace was replaced by madness. Not only did the civil and military officials swarm towards Hu Ma,

Even the huge shadow on the dragon chair could no longer restrain itself. Suddenly rising, its huge body crossed the entire palace, and its head directly reached the sky above Hu Ma's head.

The huge pressure and strange aura made Hu Ma's breathing a little difficult. When he looked up, he was even more shocked.

The thing was just too weird.

When it was shrinking on the dragon chair, Hu Ma could only see a vague human form, but now, he saw that its body was huge beyond description.

However, it was wearing an exquisitely detailed dragon robe, and its facial features and body vaguely showed the appearance of a dragon, but its dragon body was covered with various bloated and strange tentacles, wriggling and swaying on the palace, extremely strange.

The dragon shape was transformed after the death of the imperial ghost, and the tentacles were covered because they were too deeply affected by the Grand Duke of Jupiter.

At this time, it had become a part of the Grand Duke of Jupiter.

But strange as it was, it was also equally terrifying. The huge body came over, almost collapsing the Underworld Palace. Hu Ma was like facing dark clouds.

All the gaps were fully revealed when the monster on the dragon chair leaned over.

The gap was too big.

Hu Ma and this imperial ghost were not on the same level in terms of realm, Taoism, fate, and purple qi.

Even if Hu Ma attracted the killing tribulation of the human world, theoretically he could hurt this monster, but it was like a bull facing a bee.

He and this imperial ghost were in a delicate situation.

If it were in the human world, Hu Ma's ten pillars of Taoism might have the ability to confront this monster head-on, but this was after all in the Underworld Palace. Hu Ma could not bring all of his Taoism into the Underworld Palace.

In fact, he deliberately separated it. Nine pillars of Taoism were left in the human world, and only one pillar of Taoism accompanied him into the Underworld Palace. This was to prevent himself from being defeated and trapped here.

Even if he died in this Underworld Palace, the nine pillars of Taoism left in the human world would not delay the Grand Celestial Sacrifice.

However, how could one pillar of Taoism withstand the power of this imperial ghost?

If this dream is regarded as the boundary between Yin and Yang, then the closer to the human world, the stronger Hu Ma's power is.

The closer to the Underworld Palace, the stronger the power of that walking corpse is.

But the other party was desperately trying to squeeze into the human world, but Hu Ma had to block him. As one declined and the other grew, the gap became larger.

"Now that I'm in my dream, can you still bully me?"

Facing this monster, Hu Ma was not alarmed. The Owl Emperor Blade in his hand suddenly slashed, using a blocking stance. The rolling murderous intent on the blade even made the imperial ghost monster retreat slightly, avoiding its edge.

Hu Ma then seized the opportunity to take a step back, suddenly stomped his foot, and shouted sternly, "I am Hu Ma, the lord of the Town Demon Bureau, Meng Family Ancestor, come quickly to the front and help me repel the enemy!"

Stomping his feet and calling his name was to invite the gods.

The first time he invited the gods, he needed to strictly follow the ritual rules. Since he had invited them once, this time it was simple.

After the imperial ghost retreated, it immediately stretched out something that resembled a hand but not a hand, a claw but not a claw, and grabbed fiercely towards Hu Ma's face. A rolling Yin wind followed, as if it could cover people's souls and freeze their bodies.

However, facing this claw, a tall, strange figure wearing a gray mourning dress suddenly appeared behind Hu Ma, heavy and caught the claw.

The imperial ghost's endless tentacles and extremely heavy strength were actually blocked by this figure.

Such a scene was unexpected. Even the imperial ghost was shocked and angry, and scolded sharply:

"The son of a registrar, dares to peek at divine grace?"

"..."

The Tuishun Clan regarded Jupiter as a god, and the Meng Family Ancestor was transformed from a tentacle of Jupiter, belonging to the category of gods.

Although the imperial ghost was not afraid, it could not accept that his subordinates could also touch the transgression of Jupiter.

Not only was he extremely angry for a while, but he also crushed Hu Ma more fiercely, and even the tentacles on his body wrapped around the Meng Family Ancestor one by one, one by one.

Looking at it, it seemed that he wanted to use this method to pull the Meng Family Ancestor to his camp.

"Not good."

But during this process, Hu Ma had been watching.

He was also contacting the Underworld Palace for the first time. He fought when he should fight, and scolded when he should scold, but he was always careful in his heart.

No one knew what else was strange in this Underworld Palace besides fate and purple qi.

Therefore, when he saw the imperial ghost behaving strangely, he immediately did not hold back. He took several steps in a row according to a strange position.

This method was exactly the Bu Gang Ta Dou (Stepping on the Dipper) of the ghost-walking school, but it was changed by the Meng family. Originally, stepping on the Bu Gang Ta Dou was majestic and used his body to break evil, but after being changed by the Meng family, it seemed strange and awkward, and gave birth to a sense of gloomy distortion for no reason.

Using this method, it was just right to control the Meng Family Ancestor.

Carrying spirits is the best skill in the world to learn. As long as your body is strong enough and you are willing to go all out, you can learn it.

But undoubtedly, the danger of this school is also extremely high.

What if the things you invited down do not want to leave after the matter is completed?

Therefore, although those who carry spirits are respectful to the things they carry, they also need to secretly master a method of sending ghosts away.

However, everyone else is easy to say, but the Meng family carries their own ancestors, so how can they send them away?

Forcibly sending away their own ancestors, it sounds bad, and once the Meng Family Ancestor is unhappy, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, on the surface, the Meng family only has the methods of inviting and serving the ancestors, whether to invite or send them away, just kowtow.

But secretly, the Meng family has also been researching how to forcibly send away, and even control this ancestor. The Meng family also knows the Hu family very well, so they took this set of Stepping on the Dipper method from the ghost-walking school.

Secretly changed it, turning it into a method to restrain the ancestors, which is only passed down in the direct line, and can forcibly send them away when the ancestors are unwilling to leave.

Even, you can take the opportunity to use some weaknesses of the ancestors to control it in turn.

This actually conforms to the method of carrying spirits.

From inviting gods, worshiping ghosts, and then gradually restraining and controlling the things you carry, is an inevitable process.

Of course, this method alone is not enough, and some other conditions need to be met.

For example, to perform this method, you need to be in a situation where your own ancestors are restrained by some powerful force.

They can reap the benefits.

Although the Meng family had this method before, they had never had this opportunity, but it was taught to Hu Ma when the Meng family was destroyed.

Now, being in the Underworld Palace, the Meng Family Ancestor was held back by the imperial ghost, which was just such an opportunity.

Reversely stepping on the Bu Gang, the Owl Emperor Blade was drawn on the ground, pulling out strange runes.

When the footwork was determined, Hu Ma raised his knife and pointed it exactly at the back of the incomparably huge Meng Family Ancestor. The runes drawn by the knife on the ground also flashed on its back as agreed.

The Meng Family Ancestor suddenly became furious, feeling an abnormal pain. It did not know that the thing that invited it down was stabbing itself in the back, and just wanted to vent subconsciously.

And the imperial ghost in front of him was just a target for venting. The two ghost shadows immediately fought desperately in this Underworld Palace.

The imperial ghost wanted to wake it up again, but it couldn't do it anymore.

"Dogs biting dogs, it's just right..."

Seeing that this method had been successful, Hu Ma was also delighted in his heart, and his eyes immediately focused on the other shadows in the palace.

It has to be said that the Meng family cannot be regarded as just kowtowing. They have many secret thoughts, but if this method of counteracting the Meng Family Ancestor was in the Meng family, they would probably never have the courage to really use it in their entire lives. But it was just right to fall into his hands.

Thinking in his heart, the Judgement Officer's knife in his hand was even more surging with blood, and he killed half of the palace horizontally.

The civil and military officials in this palace may be fake people who were burned in, but their official uniforms and identities are real, and they all exist to help the imperial ghost increase his fate and suppress the purple qi.

Hu Ma borrowed this killing tribulation to cut off their fate one by one, and the purple qi in the Underworld Palace became more and more unstable, rolling and surging, like a tide like the sea. Borrowing him who turned into a bridge, it flowed crazily into the human world.

There is no need to do anything deliberately, and now the one who is not in a hurry is himself.

As long as the purple qi is introduced into the human world, the Underworld Palace will be shattered and desolate, and the imperial ghost will also become weaker.

When it has faded to a certain extent, he can cut it off with one knife.

During this process, Hu Ma also felt the wonderful feeling of the rolling endless purple qi flowing through his body and washing his soul.

He had never deliberately stolen the heaven and earth share in his previous practice, nor had he actively searched for purple qi, but even if he deliberately looked for it, it was impossible to find purple qi that was larger and purer than the Underworld Palace, almost more than all the Ten Surnames combined.

In this process, his own Taoism had an indescribable change. The original two and a half pillars of incense of fate were purple, but now one pillar after another was refined by the purple qi.

In an instant, it was enough to抵得十年功夫(be equivalent to ten years of hard work), which was extremely wonderful.

Of course, another one who benefited, and even benefited more than Hu Ma, was Xiao Hongtang (Little Red Altar).

The purple qi on Xiao Hongtang's body originally came from this Underworld Palace. It could still be taken away just now, but now that the purple qi leaked out, she had been holding Hu Ma's clothes and hiding behind him, and she became the target of this rolling purple qi. She was swept into an unknown amount.

The whole person looked like he was completely made of purple qi.

Even the red clothes were about to turn purple.

...

...

"This is the Meng family's method?"

At the same time, on Mount Great Sorrow, the happiest person was actually the State Preceptor.

In the area where Hu Ma was, countless purple qi rose from the ground, filling the entire mountain valley, like clouds, and then forming heavy dark clouds, floating and uncertain in this mountain. This kind of abnormality had already frightened the people in this mountain.

"What's going on...what..."

The Wang family members felt as if they were stunned at this moment.

They were no strangers to purple qi. Under the State Preceptor's instructions, they had stolen purple qi from all directions to build the White Jade Capital.

They thought that the Wang family had the most contact with purple qi among the Ten Surnames and had the broadest knowledge of it, but now they found that it was just a drop in the bucket.

The purple qi on Mount Great Sorrow was rolling, as if it didn't cost money. If anyone came, they would just think they were dreaming.

Compared to this, the State Preceptor widened his eyes and looked at the changes in Hu Ma's aura:

"You actually have a method to counteract the Meng Family Ancestor. This...doesn't this mean that the Meng family's roadblock has been broken?"

"..."

Compared to this purple qi abnormality, this was undoubtedly what made him feel the most surprised.

He liked to see this kind of problem being solved, and he admired the various wonderful things deduced from people's brains.

When he and Hu Ma fought in the capital, he saw many unexpected actions on Hu Ma, and many places could be called ingenious.

But at that time, Hu Ma was destroying his magic meeting, so although he secretly praised him, he could not appreciate it. But this time it was different. He was standing at an objective angle, and these things were enough to make him feel strong appreciation.

But in addition to appreciation, he also did not forget to look at the ten pillars of incense burning in front of him, and saw that one of the pillars of incense had burned down quickly, and it was less than three inches left.

But the other pillars of incense were clearly sensed and were burning more and more vigorously.

As the incense smoke rose, Mount Great Sorrow was filled with a precious sandalwood scent, suppressing the bloody smell.

He couldn't help but start to worry. While pondering, he spoke softly to Hu Ma's location: "You use the killing tribulation to cut off the fate of the Underworld Palace. It's an excellent move..."

"But the problem is, although this human killing tribulation has been launched, it has not yet become a trend..."

"Now you are too deep in the dream. The other imperial ghosts in the Underworld Palace have also seen you..."

"..."

Now in the Underworld Palace, Hu Ma heard the State Preceptor's voice, knowing that he was telling himself in the dream with magic power. Looking up, he saw that this Underworld Palace had begun to show a withered appearance.

The more purple qi lost, the lighter the weight of the imperial ghost, and the more fierce the Meng Family Ancestor became. If it was only this Underworld Palace, then his dream would be easily won.

It's a pity that at the same time, there were already several other auras approaching quickly.

He knew the location of the Underworld Palace, and the Underworld Palace would dream to him because this tenth emperor was the closest to the present and also the closest to the human world. Therefore, he was the first to appear, but if he stayed in the dream for a long time, others would come.

Taking a deep breath, he really felt that, as the State Preceptor said, the human killing tribulation was about to begin and needed time to brew. It was not enough now, far from enough.

But the problem was that perhaps when this killing tribulation was brewing enough, there would not be enough fate in this world, and there would not be enough confidence to pursue the realm of returning home.

At this time, Hu Ma was reminded by the State Preceptor, and with a random knife, he chopped off the head of a general-like person in the palace, then slowly held up the knife horizontally, lowered his head and looked at the blood on the Owl Emperor's blade, and whispered to himself:

"You are already considered smart, so you understand this killing tribulation and know how powerful it will be after it is launched..."

"But you still don't understand enough. This killing tribulation is different from what you think. It will start faster and more violently than anyone imagines..."

"As long as I build this bridge, then when I cut out this knife, it will exceed everyone's expectations..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw rubble falling from the sky above the Underworld Palace, as if a hole had been opened in the sky. A huge face slowly approached the hole.

The hole could only fit one of its eyes. The pupils moved slightly and suddenly fell on Hu Ma's face. Then, only this one pupil could see his excitement and the greed and ferocity in his eyes.

Hu Ma held the knife across his chest, raised his head, looked at it, and smiled as well, with a face full of ruthlessness: "I夺紫气 (seize the purple qi) for the human world, and the human world养杀机 (nurtures killing intent) for me..."

"Emperors, it's time to hit the road..."

...

...

When the heavens send forth their killing intent, the stars shift.

While Hu Ma held the knife across his chest, shocking the Underworld Palace and waiting for the killing intent of the human world to rise, the human world today, with Yang Gong, the Prince of Ming Prefecture, massacring everywhere, launched a corner of this human killing tribulation. A shocking wave that exceeded everyone's expectations quickly engulfed the entire world.
