Chapter 33: Corpses Dance in Chaos Amidst Clashing Swords

  Silently, he took the golden dagger out of his bag and tied it to his back, putting on a bamboo hat. Second Brother also wore his sword and put on his Taoist robe, starting to set up the altar for the ritual. The puppet people seemed to have been infused with life as they stood in formation according to the Nine Palaces Seven Stars array. On the other hand, Fifth Brother was sitting cross-legged, already in a meditative state like he was asleep.

  King Wang, who had just been baptized and hadn't had time to change into his royal attire, sat on the throne, still dripping with cow's blood. Upon hearing the news, he walked towards the front of the stage, not waiting for the warriors below to settle down. He shouted loudly: "Brave warriors, our people's solemn moment of trial has arrived! Let us reclaim our sacred object and allow our snake god to rest in peace! Destroy the conspiracy of Muyun Feng and Fusang tonight! As your new king, I swear to you that I will never bow my head to Muyun Feng and Fusang!"

  The wind had not yet dried the congealed cow's blood that flowed from Wang Changzai's head into his mouth, and dripped onto the ground everywhere, but Wang Changzai did not use his hands to wipe it away.

  Thousands of samurai under the platform were apparently greatly inspired, one by one with red eyes holding curved knives and kicking the ground with a shocking price.

  I calmly arrived behind the Five Elements Eight Trigrams diagram and quietly waited for Mu Yunfeng's arrival. As we spoke, Wang Zong also walked down from the high platform and came to my back.

  The thousands of warriors lined up behind him all looked towards the gate. Finally, countless black figures appeared in front of the gate. These people actually came to our front and stopped at a distance of less than 20 meters from us. It seems that they are fearless and determined to win tonight.

  There were at least five hundred people, mostly good fighters, and many ninjas were mixed in the crowd. What's strange is that no one knows where so many people have been hiding in the corners of Mount Fanjing over the past few days.

  He wore a large white robe with a high hat on his head, and a pair of sharp eyes shone brightly on his old face.

  "This person has a very heavy aura of death." I sighed in my heart.

  "In his heart he was astonished, but then he saw Wang Zhang pointing at the man and scolding in anger: 'You treacherous thief, how dare you show your face again.'"

  He spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with cow's blood onto the ground in front of him.

  That person did not get angry with Wang Zong, but instead said in a gloomy and mysterious tone: "Wang, it seems that you want to be the King of Miao. If I hadn't spared your life back then, how could you have survived until today? The Kings of Miao have always been people of great talent and virtue. In terms of martial arts skills and intelligence, which one of these can you surpass me in? Even that old thing who died was defeated by my hands."

  The two men's conversation was filled with bitter words, and Wang Chang Lao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Mu Yun Feng, you still have the face to speak? I, Wang, am truly impressed! If it were just your past sins, that would be one thing. But now, you're actually willing to serve as a dog for the Fusang people - this is really something that makes me admire you!"

  He finished speaking and bowed his head in admiration, I knew Old Wang was intentionally striking a blow at the other person with his words.

  Who would have thought that this person is Mu Yunfen? Looking at his attire, it seems that after going abroad to study, he has learned a lot of new things as a Fuso Onmyodo practitioner.

  "A wise bird chooses a tree to perch, if not, I wouldn't have arrived here today. But this Miao Wang, I've already decided on him. After all, I have this thing in my hand." Mu Yunfeng said, and then pulled out a shiny white bead-like object from his pocket.

  "Ah - it's the Snake Spirit Pearl." I sighed.

  Obviously, Wang Chang also saw it, and his body trembled slightly as he said, "What do you want to do?"

  "Hmph, I have the sacred object of my tribe in hand. Tonight, even if I can't be the King of Miao, it's no big deal. In a few days, when the Snake God is enraged, this King of Miao will still want me to take over, haha!" After saying that, he burst out laughing, looking extremely pleased with himself.

  "Don't be too happy yet. Since I dared to let you in today, I have the confidence to subdue you." Elder Wang was extremely angry.

  "Haha, what makes you think you can say that? Are those just the tricks of the little kids at the village entrance? But looking at your appearance, you seem to have prepared and invited helpers too. If it's still the same tricks as before, then forget it. How do you want to play is up to you. Can you really kill me? The more you resist, the more deaths will be brought about...” He finished speaking, looked at me with a glance, and burst out laughing.

  His words made me very angry, and he actually said that the maze set by my third brother was a child's play. This tone really makes it difficult for me to swallow. However, Mu Yunfeng obviously enraged those Miao warriors, who stomped their feet on the ground, shook their waists, and made a "clang" sound with their knives, each one full of murderous aura.

  "It seems you guys are not going to give in. Well, let me show you my power then."

  As he spoke, the crysan stick in his hand swung back and the person behind him had already retreated. Eight large boxes were lifted to his front with a loud "huff" by several strong men. I thought: The copper corpse has arrived.

  They knew it wasn't time yet to send the warriors to their deaths. These copper corpses were impervious to swords and guns, and the warriors couldn't budge them in the slightest.

  At this time, he hastily said to Wang Changlao: "You retreat and wait for me and my second brother to fight first, and then come to block the water and fill the earth."

  Wang Zhanglao knew the ferocity of the copper corpse and hastily gave an order. Very quickly, a large empty space appeared on the scene.

  At this time, only Mu Yun Feng waved the mourning stick, muttering to himself. With a loud crash, the box burst open and eight gigantic copper corpses wearing iron armor stood up straight.

  Seeing this, I cursed loudly: "Mu Yunfeng, with your ghostly father here, don't even think about using these tricks to harm innocent people."

  "With a quick mouth, he recited: 'Heaven and earth have the orthodox energy, mixed and assigned to form and flow. Below, it becomes rivers and mountains; above, it becomes sun and stars... The philosopher's day has long been far away, and the classics are in the early morning. The wind blows, the curtains unfold, reading ancient books, and the colors rise.'"

  Eighteen corpses of ninjas stood up from the ground in unison, quite majestic. Mu Yunfeng was also stunned.

  It only took a moment for the entire area to become shrouded in gloom due to the presence of these dark objects, but I was clear-headed and knew that the things under my control were no match for those copper corpses. It would be better to first engage him in a battle of wits and exhaust his energy before using Second Brother's wooden puppet to lure these copper corpses into the Five Elements Eight Trigrams diagram and then use the Yin-Yang mirror to get rid of them.

  After making up his mind, he swung the corpse whip in his hand and the corpses jumped one by one in a semicircle towards Tongshi.
