Chapter 17 Killing

After so many years of harvesting yin to replenish yang and stealing life, the scarred old man could only maintain a level of pure yang energy close to sixty years, despite being in his sixties. It was just close, nothing more.

But now, he suddenly saw that the young man before him actually possessed sixty years of pure yang energy, and was a virgin to boot! How could he not be shocked?

If he had such cultivation, he would have already entered the mansion. Why would he need to be stuck here for so many years?

He simply couldn't describe the sudden shock in his heart at this moment, but it was already too late to give a warning.

When Hu Ma snapped his white bone whip, the surrounding beggars had already swarmed up. It was dark and chaotic, and they couldn't pay attention to what had just happened. They were all using their own tricks, greeting the person in the middle.

These beggars were all from the Beggar Gang. Naturally, not all of them were skilled, but they could at least throw lime powder, splash dog blood, and their sticks were often studded with nails. Two or three of them even worked together, wielding torn nets.

Surrounded by them, even the most capable person would often be unable to cope.

Not to mention that Cui Granny cherished her life the most. Seeing that someone had broken in, she hastily made a move, using a spell to summon paper figures to mingle with the beggars.

This also had a name in the martial world: the Dog-Beating Formation of the Beggar Gang in Pingnan Prefecture.

However, they didn't see clearly that at the moment they surrounded him, Hu Ma, who had decided to use his true abilities, didn't hesitate at all.

Hu Ma suddenly stopped, raised his hand and pressed it against his ribs, letting out a sudden low roar. The rolling thunder seemed to strike in the forest. Faintly, it was as if thunder was exploding in this forest.

Three Pillars of Daoism, Five Thunders Resounding!

"Ka..."

This roar directly stunned the beggars who had surrounded Hu Ma. Those who were close were already dumbstruck, blood flowing from their ears. Their souls were gone, and their breath was cut off. They had been directly shocked to death.

Those who were farther away also seemed to have been shaken out of their souls, forgetting what they were doing. The sticks they were holding were frozen in mid-air.

Rolling yin energy mixed with paper figures was already flying towards Hu Ma, but with this roar, it suddenly swayed outwards. Those paper figures flew out lightly, still in mid-air, but they had already caught fire, like balls of ghost fire, and then scattered to the ground.

"Ka..."

Cracks suddenly appeared on the last two altars in front of Cui Granny.

As if seeing a ghost, she turned her head sharply, also dizzy from the shock. An incomparable fear arose from her instinct: "What's going on?"

"It's uncomfortable not being able to use the skills you've learned freely..."

At the same time, Hu Ma also sighed lowly. Using Three Pillars of Daoism and then Five Thunders Resounding gave him an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

His true Daoism was Three Pillars. One pillar was twenty years of pure yang, and three pillars was sixty years, a Jiazi.

This was the highest limit that countless practitioners could reach.

Not only was breaking through the Three Pillars of Daoism a major threshold, but for many practitioners, even reaching and maintaining the Three Pillars of Daoism was an extremely difficult thing, requiring the life of an ascetic monk.

Only someone like Hu Ma, who was still a virgin, and even a dead man, was forcibly fed to the level of Three Pillars of Daoism by Granny in a very short period of time with a high-grade Blood Ganoderma.

Moreover, whether it was cultivation consumption or damage suffered, rising and falling, he always recovered in the shortest possible time, like tempering through thousands of trials, extremely solid.

"Shua!"

Using his true Daoism, he immediately stopped holding back, and a surging killing intent arose in his heart.

Suddenly waving his knife and rushing out, he was still using the skills of the Shousui Ren, but how many times more ferocious and terrifying was it than before?

He didn't bother with the beggar closest to him, who had already been shocked to death. Hu Ma just moved his body outwards and suddenly chopped off the heads of several beggars outside. Round heads rolled all over the ground.

His figure moved, and blood splattered.

Using his abilities made killing people as easy as cutting grass. Those beggars who had not been shocked to death were instantly chopped in the face with a knife.

The knife had already been nicked, but it didn't matter. Using a little more force could still break bones.

"Where did this fierce man come from?"

Seeing Hu Ma break through the encirclement, the scarred old man and Cui Granny were almost scared out of their wits.

Naturally, they wouldn't care about the lives of these disciples and grandchildren, but those were still twenty-odd living lives, and they were all accounted for in an instant?

Even if you were killing chickens, would you not be soft-hearted even after killing twenty in a row?

Even if we have ways to harm people, we do it one by one, but how did such a fierce guy come...

...Who the hell is on the path?

Just as they were thinking, they saw Hu Ma rushing out from among the corpses with a bloody aura. In the dark shadows, they could vaguely see a hint of森然 cold smile on his face.

Plop, plop.

The beggars who had been shocked to death earlier, until this time, were blown down by the wind brought up by his body, like silent wooden stakes.

"Not good!"

The scarred old man and Cui Granny finally changed their expressions drastically. Without even thinking, the scarred old man suddenly turned around and rushed towards the outside of the forest.

Unexpectedly, Hu Ma had already used his true abilities. How could he allow him to escape? Using the Ghost Climbing Stairs skill, he instantly closed in behind him and chopped him on the back with a knife, actually emitting a sound of metal clashing. Another gap broke out on the knife.

"This old thing can actually be invulnerable to weapons?"

Hu Ma's eyes were already bloodshot. He didn't even bother to feel sorry for his knife. He was about to rush forward and chop him a few more times to see how long he could last.

The scarred old knife staggered from the chop, but he also hurriedly turned around, barely mustered his energy, and relied on his lifespan to protect himself, desperately using his bare hands to exchange blows with Hu Ma.

Although he was afraid and wanted to escape, his skills were not fake. In a panic, he was chopped several times by Hu Ma, but it really seemed like he was invulnerable to weapons. Sparks were even cut out, but he was still unable to hurt him.

"Hu Ma brother, I'm here..."

But at this moment, Little Hong Tang, who had been watching the show the whole time and wanted to help but couldn't get involved, jumped down from the tree next to her.

She directly rode on the scarred old man's neck, covering his eyes with her two small hands, and called out, "Hu Ma brother, hit him quickly..."

"Good Little Hong Tang!"

Hu Ma was immediately overjoyed. Our little ghost servant still knows how to care for people.

Taking advantage of the fact that the longevity master's eyes were covered and his mind was in chaos, he suddenly slashed with a knife, cutting open the other party's skin and flesh. A terrifying wound remained on his chest.

The longevity master was also shocked. Although he was afraid just now, he was not afraid of anything. Now, he suddenly lost his courage. While retreating, he grabbed wildly at the top of his head and shouted, "Quick, Cui's sister, I'm being ridden on the neck by a little ghost..."

"The spell has been broken..."

"..."

Cui Granny was also taken aback. Naturally, she had just seen that Longevity Master wanted to escape, but now the two sides were on the same line and could only advance and retreat together.

In a panic, she directly abandoned the altar and hurriedly hit Longevity Master's head with her shoe sole in her hand, scolding as she hit, "I'll let you, you ignorant little蹄子, ride on other people's heads..."

"Dare to scold my Little Hong Tang?"

Hu Ma was furious.

In fact, he was also a little surprised. A little ghost riding on someone's neck actually broke the longevity master's spell?

Without thinking about it carefully, Little Hong Tang riding on the neck of this kind of monster might also mean that the other party had a way to deal with little ghosts, and he would suffer a loss if he was not careful.

With a "shua" move to open the mountain, he forced forward, kicking up a piece of mud and sand, and threw it on Cui Granny's face, who was approaching with the shoe sole in her hand. He then seized the opportunity to stab the longevity master in the chest, in the heart position, stirred hard, and dug out the heart.

"Aiya..."

Longevity Master groaned, looking incredulously at the chest that had been opened, and slowly fell down.

Cui Granny, who wiped the mud and sand off her face, was also shocked. She only felt cold all over, threw away her shoe sole, turned her head and ran.

But Little Hong Tang took the opportunity to hug her legs, and she fell to the ground unprepared. Hu Ma hurried up, used all his strength, and chopped off her head.

Then he kicked the last unbroken altar into the air.

"Crack..."

The altar was broken, and only one evil ghost was fighting with the Red Lantern Lady in the air. The Red Lantern Lady, who had lost her temper, grabbed it and swallowed it alive. Her anger still hadn't subsided, her hair was disheveled, and her hands were on her waist.

After a while, she suddenly realized that this image was not good, so she quickly lowered her head and wiped her mouth, secretly looking around, for fear that others would see her.

But at this moment, the red lantern in the air had gone out and was slowly landing.

"Is it over?"

Hu Ma chopped off Cui Granny with a knife, immediately grabbed Little Hong Tang, and checked her left and right, for fear that she was too close to the two monsters just now and was injured by their tricks.

Little Hong Tang usually helped him fight, but she had never participated in such a dangerous thing.

But after checking, he was a little surprised. Little Hong Tang's body was clean and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her. However, the green cloth tied around her wrist now had some black dirt on it, but it was slowly disappearing.

"Is it the effect of this green cloth?"

Hu Ma had a vague guess. It was tied by the mountain god himself, so it should have some effect.

It seems that it is used to protect Little Hong Tang?

Now he was slightly relieved, touched Little Hong Tang's head, and said with emotion: "It's a good thing you helped me!"

Hong Tang Jie is really good.

"But..."

Just as he relaxed slightly, Hu Ma quickly jumped up again: "There's still something to be solved over there!"

While speaking, he suddenly took a deep breath. All three incense sticks in the incense burner were pulled out, and all the refining parts of his body immediately turned from life to death.

He turned into a dead man, just like when he first came to this world, and then slowly raised his head and looked towards the altar on the hillside.
