Chapter 20 A Tangled Fate

Seeing those seven *Fu Ling* (Negative Spirit) Little Headsmen, filled with killing intent and rushing over, Hu Ma’s heart stirred. He first saw a shadow flash beside him; someone had blocked the path of the seven *Fu Ling* Little Headsmen, shouting, "Hold on!"

"If it's a duel, then duel. The victory hasn't been decided, yet you want to kill their relatives first, disrupting their mental state. Is that how things are done?"

Unexpectedly, it was Miss Zhou Si. At this moment, she seemed full of anger. The seven *Fu Ling* Little Headsmen's expressions darkened, and they cautiously stopped.

"Oh?"

Even Chen A'Bao beside her was curious, tilting his head and looking at Miss Zhou Si, saying, "This concerns two great families. You really dare to step up and stop them like this?"

Miss Zhou Si was somewhat angry, saying, "This isn't about who's on whose side. This is *Shousui* (gravekeeper) fighting *Fu Ling*!"

Chen A'Bao was even more surprised: "You say they're *Shousui*, but they don't acknowledge your Zhou family..."

Miss Zhou Si answered without hesitation, "Da Wei Shigong (Great Might Master Ancestor) and the Yangming Zhou family is a matter within our own circles, but when we encounter other circles, we are of the same sect."

Saying that, her eyes were full of disdain as she said to Cui Magu, "The *Shousui* are the juniors, and they have already done their utmost in dealing with your Meng family's affairs, even taking responsibility for letting your Meng family's eldest daughter return. And your Meng family wants to kill their relatives?"

This reason was very straightforward, and even Chen A'Bao had to admire it.

Even Zhao Sanyi beside him sighed and slowly walked forward, saying, "Cui Gu, the Ten Families must maintain some dignity."

"To rescue your family's eldest daughter, the three of us have had to plead favors here!"

"..."

The three of them expressed their attitude, and the seven Little Headsmen didn't dare to move. Cui Agu's calm face also visibly furrowed her brow, but after a moment of pondering, she suddenly shouted, "Go!"

As she spoke, the large sleeves that had been hanging down suddenly swept outwards.

In the cold wind, this white sleeve opened, revealing a shrunken ghost shadow curled up inside her sleeve, which suddenly opened its mouth wide.

This mouth, once opened, was incredibly large, a dark abyss like the netherworld, and it seemed to be able to open infinitely. Caught off guard, it directly swallowed towards Zhao Sanyi, Chen A'Bao, and Miss Zhou Si, filled with ghostly aura.

Everyone was surprised. They hadn't expected that at this juncture, she would abandon Hu Ma and instead target these three disciples of the Ten Families.

And that "Go!" was directed at the seven Little Headsmen. They reacted and hurriedly rushed towards the village.

"Even attacking us, this is beyond the pale!"

Zhao Sanyi was shocked and immediately jumped back, suddenly pulling out a *polang* drum from his sleeve. At the same time, he puffed up his cheeks and suddenly spewed out a torrent of flames, reaching over a dozen *zhang*.

Chen A'Bao chuckled sinisterly, his body retreating, but his head flew up, its mouth full of sharp teeth, uttering a series of words that no one could understand.

Miss Zhou Si was even more straightforward. She stamped her foot and then kicked up a cloud of dust with her toe, scattering it towards Cui Magu's face. At the same time, she stepped forward.

On the other hand, the madman from the Disaster Thief Gate only smiled and took a few steps back, saying, "Now this is more interesting than begging for disaster."

But Cui Magu swayed, transforming into dozens of white afterimages. Within dozens of *zhang*, it was filled with ghostly aura. Pale hands "grew" out of the bodies of these three disciples of the Ten Families, pinching Zhao Sanyi's neck and covering Chen A'Bao's mouth.

Miss Zhou Si shouted sternly, but she only rushed out a few steps before she couldn't move. She was shocked to find that her feet had been grabbed, and a head "grew" out of the ground, which was Cui Magu.

These three were disciples of the Ten Families, and their skills were naturally not small, but they were not *zougui* (spirit mediums) and could not block the means of this *Fu Ling* (Negative Spirit) person outside the altar. For a time, they experienced the power of this *Fu Ling* Great Headsman.

Although they still had ways to resolve it, at this critical moment, they could only watch helplessly as the seven Little Headsmen rushed towards the village.

At this moment, Hu Ma sighed and walked out of the altar.

"Shua!"

But as soon as he left the altar, the seven *Fu Ling* who seemed to have rushed towards the village suddenly had five of them turn around.

Their figures were strange, as if they had suddenly disappeared in the distance, and then strangely appeared in front of Hu Ma, reaching out to Hu Ma from five directions.

Hu Ma was a *Shousui* (gravekeeper), strong and sturdy, and difficult to injure with weapons, but their palms seemed to directly ignore Hu Ma's body and reached directly into his body, grabbing his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

The other two still headed straight for the village.

At the same time, Cui Magu's transformed dozen white shadows suddenly returned to the front of the altar. At the moment Hu Ma stepped out of the altar, they instantly extinguished the brazier in the altar, and then their figures suddenly overlapped, appearing behind Hu Ma.

The thin body almost touched his back, and a pale and weak hand gently rested on Hu Ma's shoulder.

"Not good!"

Miss Zhou Si was shocked and angry, and she rushed forward to help. Cui Magu turned around and blew a cold wind over, eerie and strange. Even she, Zhao Sanyi, and Chen A'Bao were shrouded in this breath, feeling illusions all around them, and they could only protect themselves.

"The disciples of the Ten Families each have their own abilities, but without crossing the bridge, they are without crossing the bridge."

Cui Magu stood behind Hu Ma and said indifferently, "They are like this, and so are you!"

As she spoke, she pulled Hu Ma back a step, but this retreat was only in form. In one step, Hu Ma felt dizzy, as if he had fallen down.

And when he fell, he didn't feel the ground, as if he had suddenly retreated into the lake. The scenes of reality were rapidly disappearing, and the sound of iron chains rang in his ears. He seemed to have been pulled directly into the underworld by Cui Magu.

Behind her, there was already a bridge that seemed to connect heaven and earth, leading directly to the deepest part of the underworld.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

She had gone deep into the underworld, felt the influence of the bridge, and was sure that she had suppressed this ghost-walking Headsman, who had quite a bit of skill, and whispered, "Now, take me to see him!"

"Walking from the bridge, no matter where he is, will be very fast!"

"..."

Hu Ma sighed and said, "Do you really want to see him?"

A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. In the next moment, she suddenly felt恍惚, and everything in front of her was like an inverted image, changing and shattering.

After a moment of daze, her pupils suddenly trembled, and she found that only she seemed to have come to the bridge, while Hu Ma was still standing in the human world, his figure even more clear, slowly turning around and looking at her.

"Something's wrong!"

Cui Magu's expression suddenly changed drastically. The other hand also rested on Hu Ma's shoulder. At the same time, huge ghost shadows emerged from both her sleeves.

One suddenly shrank, hugging Hu Ma around the waist, and the other opened its mouth wide, trying to swallow Hu Ma.

But at this moment, Hu Ma's body suddenly condensed soul light, and in an instant, he used the Da Wei Tian Gong (Great Might Heavenly Duke) General Seal, as if a fierce god suddenly emerged from his body. The blue and cold face instantly approached Cui Magu's face.

*Pa la la!*

At the same moment when the *Fa Xiang* (dharma appearance) appeared, the chains falling from the bridge collapsed and broke apart. The *Fu Ling* (Negative Spirit) Little Headsmen who had grabbed his five organs were struck by lightning. Their big hands fell down, and the souls in their bodies were torn out and chewed in their mouths.

"You..."

It was impossible to describe the shock in her heart at this moment. Her pupils trembled violently, and she retreated quickly, trying to pull this fierce god with overwhelming ferocity to a deeper place on the bridge, using a heavier force to suppress him.

However, she didn't have time to exert her strength. The blue-faced and fanged fierce god already showed a fierce light in his eyes, and with a deep shout, it was like a dark thunder rolling, directly shattering the shadow of the underworld bridge behind Cui Magu in an instant, returning to the human world.

"Who exactly are you?"

Cui Magu's voice was sharp and somewhat unreal at this moment. A terrible guess instantly涌出from the bottom of her heart.

It was impossible for someone who had crossed the bridge to be unable to pull someone.

Unless, this person's destiny was already so heavy that it was far beyond what her identity could touch.

Then he...

As she thought of this possibility in her heart, her expression suddenly twisted. The filial piety clothes she was wearing on her head suddenly shattered. From within her snow-white hair, wisps of purple energy were rising, and a soul shadow wrapped in purple energy flew out.

With just this one soul body, the thickness of the purple energy on her body was even stronger than that of Old Master Yan from Guazhou, directly扑到ing on Hu Ma's face.

But Hu Ma didn't even look at it. The Da Wei Shigong *Fa Xiang* (Great Might Master Ancestor) had four arms, with two arms open and two arms tightly握着. Now, the right hand that was握着 suddenly stretched forward, its divine light暗蕴, and smashed her soul body back into her body.

It looked like a slap in the face.

Even the rolling purple energy collapsed and was drawn away at this moment.

Cui Magu staggered back, falling to the ground in a mess, with a ghost-like look of horror on her face.

Hu Ma took a deep look at Cui Magu, then suddenly turned around and walked away, his figure as fast as the wind, disappearing in an instant. But in the blink of an eye, he ran back, carrying two dead people in his hands, who were the two *Fu Ling* Little Headsmen who had just gone to the village.

He threw them in front of Cui Magu before slowly saying, "I haven't crossed the bridge, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to deal with people on the bridge."

"But I'm very困扰..."

He couldn't help but look at the right hand of his *Fa Xiang* (dharma appearance). In that hand, he held a precious seal. It was originally a wordless seal, but after斬了 Old Master Yan, four words had been生出.

"Shou Ming Yu Tian (Commissioned by Heaven)!"

"..."

But it was precisely because of these four words that his eyes seemed a little迷茫: "I was born占了一个命character, and the Da Wei Tian Gong (Great Might Heavenly Duke) General Seal gave me a 天 character..."

"But, where should I go to find the 寿 and 昌 characters of the next sentence?"

"I originally wanted to fight with people like you who have crossed the bridge to see more clearly, but you are too disappointing."
