Chapter 429 Resurrection from the Dead
The sharp knife pierced his chest, but no pain was felt.
Instead, Jiang Shouzhong's whole body glowed with a dark cyan light.
But he saw an ancient bronze lamp in his hand.
It turned out that Jiang Shouzhong remembered that when he and Xiao Lingqiu were trapped in a mysterious place, they found a way out by relying on this copper lamp, and even sucked a skeleton into the copper lamp.
So he wanted to try to see if the copper lamp would work in this place.
But judging from the current situation, it obviously works.
It shows that this place has some secret connection with the Taoyuan Fairyland.
The flame of the lamp flickers, and the light and shadow are scattered.
Under the halo of light, the body of "Qu Hongling" in front of him was like broken porcelain, with fine cracks appearing one after another. Threads of black mist seeped out from the cracks, exuding a disgusting rancid smell.
The brides in wedding clothes all around fell to the ground in pain, tearing at their faces with their hands.
"Kill him!"
In mid-air, an eerie and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
In the courtyard, the paper people kneeling on the ground all pounced on Jiang Shouzhong.
The brides who had torn off their faces raised their bloody cheeks and shot Jiang Shouzhong with malicious eyes.
Then, their figures flashed and they attacked one after another.
Jiang Shouzhong wielded the Yin Yang Flying Sword.
The attack of the Yin and Yang swords was quite effective against these filthy creatures. In just a moment, several brides screamed and fell down, their bodies dissipating into the invisible, leaving only a few wisps of black smoke.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came.
"Hmph, the boy is lucky."
Jiang Shouzhong turned to look, but it was the big man he had seen in the cave before, carrying a heavy sword that was burning red all over, and was coming like a ghost.
The heavy sword was powerful in his hand, and the flames trailed like an angry fire dragon.
I saw the big man swinging his heavy sword, and sparks flew into the air towards the surrounding paper figures.
The sparks touched the paper man's body and immediately ignited into a raging fire.
The fire spread quickly...
Immediately afterwards, there were dull explosions, and fragments of the paper man's limbs flew everywhere.
"Old guy, why don't you come out? How long will you hide?"
The big man opened his eyes angrily and shouted loudly into the void.
In mid-air, a paper sedan slowly fell down.
I saw a man wearing golden armor sitting in the sedan.
The man's face was as white as paper, without a trace of blood, his eyes revealed a cold deathly silence, and his whole body was wrapped with a death energy that was so rich that it could not be dissolved.
Grave owner?
Jiang Shou made a sudden move and guessed the identity of this person.
The tomb owner stared at the big man with sadness, his voice was dull and echoed, as if it was coming from the Nine Nether Hell: "Fang Zizhang, do you really think that I can't kill you?"
The big man sneered and said: "If you have the ability to kill me, then go ahead and kill me. If you don't have the ability, just let Youtan come out!"
There was a hint of sarcasm on the grave owner's face, and he said in a cold and slow tone:
"Your wife is already dead, so why are you so persistent? There is no way to bring the dead back to life. Everything you do is in vain."
After hearing this, the big man grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands. Due to the excessive force, his knuckles turned white, and the veins on his arms bulged out like small winding snakes.
His eyes widened and he roared angrily: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here! Let Youtan come out!"
The tomb owner sighed, turned his head, and looked at Jiang Shouzhong with his empty eyes. To be precise, he focused on the copper lamp in Jiang Shouzhong's hand:
"Where did you get the underworld lamp in your hand?"
Jiang Shouzhong asked coldly: "Where is my friend?"
"There are no so-called friends here. If a woman comes, she is the bride. She will either wait in the wedding room for the groom to come, or she will become my wife..."
The grave owner said in a light voice,
"I gave you the opportunity to leave, but it's a pity that you missed the opportunity. In this case, I will let you be the bearer of the sedan chair for my new wife."
Jiang Shouzhong sneered: "I might consider carrying your coffin."
After saying this, he tapped the ground with his toes and rushed towards the tomb owner like an arrow from a string.
The flying swords crisscrossed his body, like agile silver snakes, pulling out dazzling rays of light and flying towards the tomb owner.
Jiang Shouzhong took the opportunity to take out the Seven Killing Sword and slashed with it.
The big man named Fang Zizhang laughed and said: "You have the talent!"
He stepped hard, the ground cracked, and a group of paper figures around him were shattered to pieces.
The big man took advantage of the situation and stood up, rushing towards the paper sedan like a cannonball.
The giant sword in his hand was raised high.
The flames burning on the sword became more and more intense, like a red sun. As he swung his sword down, the paper sedan was split into several pieces and flew away like snowflakes.
The tomb owner snorted coldly, took out a long spear, and quickly got entangled with Jiang Shouzhong and the big man who were rushing towards him.
During the battle between the two sides, paper figures appeared out of thin air and attacked Jiang Shouzhong and the big man.
At the same time, lanterns floating in the sky began to hit the two of them continuously.
When these lanterns come into contact with a house or the ground, they explode, creating deep craters and sending mud and rocks flying everywhere.
The big man kept swinging the giant sword, making wide and wide movements, and the red sword blade cut out streaks of fire.
"Poof!"
After a few rounds, the big man's long sword pierced the tomb owner's chest.
And Jiang Shouzhong's Seven Killing Sword also hit the tomb owner's head, almost cutting the upper half of his head in half.
"A mere mortal dares to kill a god!"
The originally dull eyes of the tomb owner suddenly revealed a dazzling golden light, like two scorching suns burning in the eye sockets.
Then, his body exploded.
The next second, an extremely huge skull appeared out of thin air in front of Jiang Shouzhong and Fang Zizhang.
The skull stared at the two of them faintly, with blazing fire shooting out of its empty eyes.
The flames were like two ferocious fire snakes, rushing toward the two of them with their fangs and claws. Wherever they passed, the air was scorched and distorted, and billowing heat waves hit their faces.
Jiang Shouzhong avoided the fierce fire, took advantage of the gap when the skull was spitting out fire, jumped up high, and slashed at the skull with the Seven Killing Sword in his hand.
However, the blade made a clanging sound when it struck the skull, as if it had struck hard metal, leaving only a shallow white mark on the skull.
"Get out of the way, kid! This old guy has a very hard head, and your scholarly strength is not enough to scratch it!"
Fang Zizhang stepped forward, his muscles tensed up, his hands clenching the giant sword, and he shouted, "Cut the sky!"
The giant sword struck the skull with shocking power.
The skull was shaken violently.
An obvious crack appeared on the top of the head, and wisps of black smoke slowly emerged from the crack.
"My swordsmanship has improved a lot, but it's a pity..."
The skull suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a black mist as thick as substance spurted out like a raging wave, instantly covering Fang Zizhan.
Fang Zizhang flew backward uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. But before the skull could continue its attack, a strong sense of crisis came over.
It looked up at the sky and saw a huge fist burning with flames rushing down from the sky!
Wherever the fist passed, the mist was torn apart forcefully.
The blazing light shot down like the scorching sun, illuminating the entire space red.
"This is..."
For the first time, there was shock and fear in the skull's voice.
It wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Boom——
The fist hit the skull head firmly.
The powerful impact caused the skull to be driven straight into the ground like a cannonball, and countless dust flew up, forming a thick dust curtain.

Immediately afterwards, the skull collapsed.
A large amount of black energy burst out from the broken bones, accompanied by shrill screams.
Fang Zizhang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he murmured to himself: "Is this kid so powerful?"
"You Tan save me~~"
The grave owner made a shrill cry for help.
However, there was dead silence and no response.
As the flames spread, the skull was gradually burned into a puddle of ashes, and the desperate wails dissipated in the air.
The only remaining paper figures around them turned into ashes and scattered in the wind after the death of the tomb owner.
The buildings in the ancient house began to decay rapidly in a gust of cold wind. Not long after, the entire ancient house turned into wisps of smoke and sand and disappeared in the wind, as if it had never existed.
Jiang Shouzhong was half kneeling on the ground, gasping for air.
"Boy, there are two times."
The big man laughed and stepped forward, stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and patted Jiang Shouzhong's shoulder hard.
He glanced at the high platform inadvertently and said in surprise: "Huh? Who is that woman?"
Jiang Shouzhong looked up at the high platform.
I found a dilapidated sedan on the high platform. The curtains of the sedan were in tatters and fluttering in the wind.
Jiang Yi was sitting in the sedan, her head gently leaning against the sedan wall, her eyes closed, her face slightly pale, and she was obviously in a coma.
Jiang Shou was delighted and stepped forward quickly.
"Mrs. Jiang?"
Jiang Shouzhong gently pushed the woman's shoulder.
Jiang Yi woke up faintly, her eyes were blank. She was stunned for a while, then looked around and asked weakly: "Where is this?"
Seeing that the woman was fine, Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief and roughly told what happened.
When Jiang Erliang was mentioned, Jiang Shouzhong recalled the mysterious bride who took Jiang Erliang away before, and couldn't help feeling worried.
He turned to look at Fang Zizhang, who was squatting in front of the tomb owner's ashes, not knowing what he was studying, and asked: "The tomb owner is dead, can the bride named You Tan still be found?"
"Yes, definitely."
Fang Zizhang grinned, took a wine gourd from his waist, grabbed a handful of the tomb owner's ashes and sprinkled them into the gourd, then shook it vigorously, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Shouzhong bared his teeth as he looked at it.
I thought that the monsters in this place were not normal, and neither were the living people.
"Poof——"
Fang Zizhang spurted out wine stained with ashes and waved his sword in his hand.
Countless particle-like liquids floated in the air, shining like diamonds. Then it was like a wisp of transparent gauze, extending towards the darkness.
"Boy, do you want to come with me to find Youtan?"
Fang Zizhang turned around and asked.
Nonsense, definitely go.
Jiang Shouzhong turned to look at Jiang Yi aside. Seeing that she looked weak and weak, even walking seemed extremely difficult, he bent down and said, "I'll carry you, it's not safe to stay here."
Jiang Yi didn't resist and lay on Jiang Shouzhong's back.
Jiang Shouzhong took advantage of the opportunity to hold the opponent's leg.
From where you started, you could clearly feel the tenderness of the other person's skin and the slight warmth through the thin silk stockings.
Jiang Yi lay on Jiang Shouzhong's back and said in a concerned tone: "Is Erliang going to be okay?"
Jiang Shouzhong tilted his head: "Are you concerned about Erliang or your sister?"
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't speak anymore. She just silently wrapped her hands around the man's neck, and her hot breath lightly sprayed on the back of the man's neck.
Jiang Shouzhong carried her on his back and followed Fang Zizhang.
Fang Zizhang glanced at Jiang Yi and said with a smile:
"It's your luck, too. If you had come a few hours later, you, this woman, would have turned into a withered skeleton, and you couldn't be saved even if you wanted to. No, you can be saved even if you wanted to, but..."
< br>
A bit of sadness appeared on Fang Zizhang's face. He was silent for a while and continued, "But whether she wants to recognize you or not is another matter."
Jiang Shouzhong asked curiously: "According to what the grave owner just said, does the senior want to resurrect his wife?"
Fang Zizhang didn't hide anything and said:
"Thirteen years ago, my wife passed away. I heard that this small island has a secret ritual that can bring her back to life, so I brought her body here and inquired all the way to this ghost place."
Speaking of this, Fang Zizhang's face flashed with pain and regret, he paused, and then said:
"But Youtan, she told me that when a person dies, he or she is dead. There is no way to resurrect. Only monsters can survive through that method.
I didn't believe it, so I secretly entered the forbidden area and performed the secret technique of sacrificing my wife. Unfortunately, during the sacrificial process, I was discovered and was kicked out. ”
Fang Zizhang's eyes were full of resentment and he clenched his fists:
"I saw that they were going to throw away my wife's body. In order to allow the sacrifice to go smoothly, I destroyed the secret door in desperation.
I was thinking that as long as I could buy some time, I might be able to complete the sacrifice. But I never thought that once the secret door was closed, it would be impossible to open it again in a short period of time.
Neither I nor anyone else could get in, except on the night of a lunar eclipse, which occurs only every three years. ”
Fang Zizhang sighed deeply:
"I was forced to leave there first, planning to wait for the night of the lunar eclipse to find my wife. But that bitch Youtan was so cruel, she actually hid the place of sacrifice, and I couldn't find it on this island. to.
She also said that it was impossible for my wife to be resurrected and the sacrifice could not be successful.
But one time, I clearly heard my wife’s cry for help. At that time, I knew that my wife’s resurrection was definitely successful. But that bitch You Tan imprisoned her! ”
Speaking of this, Fang Zizhang's eyes were burning with anger, and the heavy evil aura from his body came out, lingering around him like a substance.
"Can a person really be resurrected after death?"
Jiang Yi murmured softly.
Fang Zizhang suddenly turned around and stared at her, shouting: "What? Even you don't believe that my wife is resurrected!?"
Seeing the other party's sudden excitement, Jiang Shouzhong explained:
"She is not talking about your wife, but her sister. Her sister was resurrected through the relics of the Holy Buddha."
Fang Zizhang looked at Jiang Yi with narrowed eyes and coldly snorted:
"Holy Buddha? Humph, he's just a monster. It's obvious that his ascension failed, so why should he voluntarily give up his ascension? What a joke! And the so-called relics are just monster fetuses."
