Chapter 263 The Decisive Battle with Madam Chee 2
The wails were like needles pricking on their nerves, which caused Xie Yuqing and the others to suffer a headache . They squatted, as they covered their heads and moaned in pain .
“Amitabha… . ”
Teng Yongqing recited one of the names of Buddha in a low but steady tone . The wails stopped at once .
Madam Chee turned to look at him; her brows frowned .
“Granny! It is me . ”
Madam Chee gazed at him . She looked a little surprise, but her gaze contained a hint of tenderness . However, sternness soon replaced it, and she said coldly, “How dare you against me!”
“Granny, I came to save you, to bring you back to Luo Jia Sect and relearn Buddhism . ”
“Buddhism? Haha… . ” Madam Chee laughed her head off, “If Buddhism can cleanse an evil being, he would not have done this to me . Buddhism, such fake teachings! I am here today to kill all the liars, and kill everyone else!”
As she swung her arms, the skulls in her sleeves wailed at once; it was like the movement had provoked them . Moving a step forward, jets of the four black beasts’ blood twirled around her legs, but a wisp of black Demon Qi from Madam Chee blocked the blood . The Qi stopped the blood at the level of her ankles, preventing it from coming up . The blood boiled and bubbled once they came into contact the Demon Qi, dropping to the ground .
“World-honored One, what is known as a true idea is no-idea, and for this reason, it is called a true idea . The idea of an ego is no-idea [of ego], the idea of a person, a being, or a soul is no-idea [of a person, a being, or a soul] . For what reason? They are Buddhas who are free from all kinds of ideas . Detach yourself from all ideas and rouse the desire for the supreme enlightenment… . ”
Teng Yongqing put his palms together and devoutly recited Buddha texts continuously . He emitted a faint golden aura, which suppressed the wails from the skulls and relieved a little bit of the tension in Xie Yuqing and the others .
“Shine the torches!”
Ye Shaoyang’s shout pulled Xie Yuqing and Xiao Ma back to reality . They quickly switched on their torches and shone at Madam Chee, while Xiao Ma acted on his own to take out the cinnabar gun and shot Madam Chee a few times, Xie Yuqing also followed suit .
Madam Chee’s face turned paler under the intense light . Flicking her finger, she covered her face with her sleeves . Suddenly, Xiao Ma and Xie Yuqing heard the sound of strange laughter behind them .
Turning around, both of them saw two ghosts with long, disheveled hair, with scabs and scars all over their faces . A vertical wound covered with blood extended from their foreheads till their chins, and they had a pair of blood-red eyes . While the ghosts opened their mouths, Xie Yuqing and Xiao Ma saw a greenish tongue with multiple cavities that were filled with maggots crawling up and down .
Xie Yuqing could barely bear the disgusting scene, as she had seen many kinds of corpses throughout her police life . On the contrary, Xiao Ma almost vomited . However, both of their gazes were attracted by the two ghosts, and the distraction provided Madam Chee an opportunity to avoid the lights and arrive at the sixth sub-formation .
At once, ritual tools on the ground catapulted toward Madam Chee . Fluttering her sleeves, some skulls detached and fought with the incoming ritual tools .
Only then did Ye Shaoyang realize that the skulls were not the illusions made up of her Demon powers . Rather, they were tens of thousands of spirits that had died unjustly; the Yin-grown Blood Pagoda Tree had captured them . He had never expected Madam Chee to bring them out as cannon fodders to break the sub-formations . No wonder she could pass the first five sub-formations in such a short period .
“All Qi originates from Yin and Yang; The Three Pure Ones will bestow the red damask with power!”
Ye Shaoyang initiated a hand seal and pointed at the red damasks placed in the sixth sub-formation . Layers of red damask flew up, circling Madam Chee in the pattern of the Taiji Diagram and strangling her . Jets of black Demon Qi dispersed through the gap between the layers of red damask .
“Shine the torch! Where is the light?” Ye Shaoyang hurriedly looked back . He cast out two ancient Chinese coins when he saw that two ghosts were trying to stop Xiao Ma and Xie Yuqing from shining the torches at Madam Chee; he quickly killed them .
“Shine the torches!” he shouted again .
Within a second, the two shone the torches toward Madam Chee, who was covered with layers of red damask . Suddenly, another two spirits appeared in front of the torches and blocked the light .
The intense light eroded the faces of the spirits, part by part; flesh disappeared, and black blood oozed out to reveal the bones beneath . Xiao Ma moved the torch to one side, and the tissue regrew, but the part shone on was eroded; the flesh turning into bones .
Arrgh… . The spirits showed a grim expression, as they howling relentlessly . Xiao Ma could not bare looking at their faces . He closed his eyes and muttered to himself, “It’s just an illusion . It’s just an illusion… . ”
“What the hell!” Ye Shaoyang cast out two more ancient Chinese coins toward the two spirits and killed them .
“They are not illusions . Madam Chee sent them outside the formation . They have no power but can only frighten and distract you . Just kill them with your cinnabar guns if more appear . Shine the torch, quick!”
He continued to form different hand seals, as he recited an incantation to tighten the red damasks around Madam Chee .
Xiao Ma and Xie Yuqing raised their torches, and two spirits blocked in front once again . So, they reached out for their cinnabar guns and shot them . Then, they cast the lights at Madam Chee once more, but it was too late, a cluster of black Demon Qi burst forth and tore the red damasks; she escaped and sprung toward the seventh sub-formation .
The red niter threads activated once she flew toward the seventh sub-formation . The threads flew toward her, but she just repelled them with a simple move and entered the sub-formation .
Ye Shaoyang initiated another hand seal, manipulating different kinds of ritual tools to attack Madam Chee .
Taking advantage of the fact that Madam Chee was busy blocking the attacks, Old Guo took out a sheet of blue talisman paper and quickly drew with a cinnabar pen . Then he stuck it on his Date Wood Sword . With Old Guo’s current power, he could barely handle a blue Talisman Paper, but he had to strain himself to use it . He bit on his tongue tip, spat a mouthful of blood on the paper, and recited incantation once .
The Date Wood Sword turned red; it resembled red-hot iron, as it chopped at Madam Chee .
Madam Chee raised her hand and grabbed at the sword body, urging the black Demon Qi to fight against the glowing sword .
“Too weak!” Madam Chee said flatly . With a snap, the sword broke into two and a strong Demon Qi struck Old Guo’s chest, throwing him out . Old Guo vomited a mouthful of blood when he landed . He rolled out of the formation and waved to the others, “I am fine . Don’t worry about me . Keep fighting!”
After he finished his words, he sat cross-legged and started his breathing technique .
In another few seconds, Madam Chee destroyed the seventh sub-formation and arrived at the eighth, which Teng Yongqing guarded .
“Granny, please surrender… . ” Teng Yongqing spoke to Madam Chee, hesitating a little . In his hands, he held a string of Buddha beads .
“Useless child!” Madam Chee took a glanced at him and stepped into the sub-formation without a second thought . The eighth sub-formation was much more powerful than the former . Madam Chee slightly frowned, as she felt a little tired of fighting . Her robes were covered in multiple burning holes from the ritual tools .
Ye Shaoyang formed a hand seal, as he shouted at Teng Yongqing, “What are you waiting for?! Kill her!”
Teng Yongqing sighed; he placed the string of Buddha beads in between his palms and formed a Buddha hand sign, reciting the Buddha texts, as he rotated the beads . The beads turned faster when he increased the speed of chanting .
