Chapter 402: Chapter 263: Ox-Head at the Gates of Hell

A zhang away from the eunuch’s body, there was suddenly a loud rumble, and the ground rose directly, upon which a black and red stone gate emerged and stood abruptly before Qin Yuesheng’s eyes.

This gate stood two zhang tall and one zhang wide, with an ancient and weathered facade, and the gateposts were marked with numerous claw scratches. Above the gate hung a bright red plaque, with three large, scrawled characters akin to ghostly talismans carved upon it.

Ghost Gate!

As soon as this gate appeared, the temperature here dropped even more dramatically. If Qin Yuesheng had not activated the Primordial Yang Skill to warm his body, his blood would have frozen inside him.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The door slowly pushed open from the inside, and Qin Yuesheng saw an enormous, towering figure stride out from within.

Its imposing presence was like a massive mountain rushing towards him.

As for its appearance, it stood a full zhang tall, clad in a cyan-blue chainmail, holding a double-tipped steel fork made of dark iron, with a bull head and a human body.

Its body was covered with dense black mane like steel bristles, and the muscles on its arms were knotted. The pair of blood-red eyes made one’s heart tremble involuntarily, giving rise to an unexplained urge to turn and flee.

Such a giant, its iron boots thundered on the ground like a rumble, as it walked straight to the eunuch’s body without a word and immediately stabbed the eunuch’s soul with the steel fork in its hand.

"Ah!"

This dark iron double-tipped steel fork was extraordinary, capable of injuring a soul. Upon being stabbed, the eunuch screamed miserably, wailing endlessly, clutching the fork and pleading for mercy.

But the Bull-head ignored it. With a single arm, it lifted the fork onto its shoulder, turning around and striding back towards the Ghost Gate.

This all happened so suddenly that Qin Yuesheng could not predict it at all. It was likely related to the strange magic recently used by Huang Ting, but the instigator was already passed out, leaving Qin Yuesheng unable to immediately ask what exactly happened.

As the Bull-head was about to step into the Ghost Gate, an unexpected incident occurred.

Dong Zhou inexplicably dashed out of the house, shouting to Qin Yuesheng, "My lord, it’s not good, the Ninth Princess seems to have..."

In an instant, Qin Yuesheng’s face changed dramatically.

Because he saw that after hearing Dong Zhou’s voice, the Bull-Head slowly turned its head, and its supposed steps into the Ghost Gate came to an abrupt stop, standing there motionless.

"This department is present for soul-grabbing, how dare you make a ruckus!" the Bull-head shouted angrily. Its free hand flung out an iron chain originally hung at its waist, flying like a snake towards Dong Zhou, binding the person tightly in the blink of an eye, and yanking him over forcibly.

Dong Zhou’s body instantly went limp to the ground, and a pale blue soul was pulled out from his body by the chain, floating lightly towards the Bull-head.

"Damn it!" Qin Yuesheng never thought this creature would be so violent; Dong Zhou only shouted once and was about to be taken by it. How could Qin Yuesheng stand by and watch this?

No matter what you are, in this Cyan Yang City, even an emperor’s edict would hold no sway before Qin Yuesheng.

Immediately, Qin Yuesheng reached out, and the Celestial Demon Evil Blade on the weapon rack flew into his hand in an instant. Leaping forward, he slashed at the Bull-head.

Seven Great Limits of Heaven and Earth. Thunder!

Suddenly, thunder and lightning surged, transforming into an extreme electric slash aimed directly at the Bull-head’s head.

"How bold!" the Bull-head roared in rage, punching out to meet the Celestial Demon Evil Blade with its fist.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yuesheng rejoiced, for he was thoroughly familiar with the sharpness of the Celestial Demon Evil Blade. If this Bull-head took a strike, its arm would probably need to be discarded.

Bang!

The clash of blade and fist made an unexpectedly loud noise, Qin Yuesheng only felt his arms jolt, and his whole person involuntarily flew backward, completely overmatched in strength by the Bull-head!

And the Bull-head, after colliding with the Celestial Demon Evil Blade with a single punch, came out completely unscathed.

"Daring to assault the Soul-Grabbing Yin Department, you shall come along as well." The Bull-head skewered Dong Zhou’s soul onto the steel fork. Dong Zhou’s soul, along with that of the eunuch, was tightly fixed on the fork like ingredients on a skewer.

Spiritless, the Bull-head swung the chain again towards Qin Yuesheng, intending to replicate the technique and take Qin Yuesheng’s soul as well.

Having witnessed the chain’s prowess, Qin Yuesheng quickly used the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill to dodge. But this chain seemed to have a Spiritual Sense of its own, automatically following Qin Yuesheng with a relentless stance.

Qin Yuesheng thought this chain was strange and best not to touch it, so he immediately shifted his target and charged towards the Bull-head.

"Soul-Catching Demon!" Qin Yuesheng shouted, and the Soul-Catching Demon, which had retreated into his embrace after the battle with Yuan Wudi, immediately crawled out again, transforming into the Soul-Catching Arm to fight for Qin Yuesheng.

Seeing the Bull-head punch again, Qin Yuesheng also clenched the Soul-Catching Arm and punched out, wanting to measure strength with this bull monster.

Bang!

As the fists collided.

[To Dissolve—’Ghost Soldier Bull-head’]

[Dissolution Success Rate 0.05%]

"Yes!"

[Dissolution Failed]

Already not expecting it to succeed, Qin Yuesheng tried with a testing mindset. Though he didn’t know the origins of this Ghost Soldier Bull-head, just from this Ghost Gate that emerged from underground, plus the Bull-head’s powerful soul-grabbing ability...

Qin Yuesheng suspected that Huang Ting might have used forbidden skills to extract information from the eunuch, thereby releasing something extremely dangerous.
