Chapter 941 - 845: The People Turned to Resentment, Grievances Fill the Heavens (Part 3)
But now, after he uttered such words, suddenly, he spewed blood.
Once he started, he couldn't stop, mouthfuls of blood poured out, as if he wanted to expel all the blood from his body. At halfway through, he was already dead, yet columns of blood still spurted from his mouth.
The remaining words, he couldn't say.
The Black Magic of the Chen Family disregards the retributions of cause and effect, so although they seldom act, how formidable it is! ππ«ππ²πππ―ππ¨π§ππ.ππ π¦
How could it be that someone, with just a simple curse, destroyed the flying corpse spell and crushed himself?
Unlike the deaths in Prince Changping's army, he wasn't directly cursed, but because he once commanded the flying corpses to worship the grain, this curse followed him back, causing him to die from backlash.
The matter of the flying corpses worshipping the granary, the populace is already aware, which is the source of all resentment. Thus, when this curse arose, the grain-destroying flying corpse spell was directly obliterated, and he who commanded the flying corpses was also afflicted by the backlash.
When the great Hall Officer died before his eyes, the Chen Family's Head didn't even have time to spare him a glance, for when the flying corpse inside the iron coffin melted, he had already rushed out the door.
The Chen Family's four great Hall Officers and various talented individuals all gathered here, guarding the five corpse spells, waiting for the Reincarnator's talented individuals to come for a duel.
But this magic seemed different from what was expected.
He rushed out the door, immediately looked up, and saw the overcast sky.
At this moment, the majestic Chen Family's Head suddenly felt chilled to the bone, and quickly retreated back into the hall.
In the sky, it was empty as if nothing was there. However, the moment he looked up, it seemed he was dazzled, and he saw countless invisible resentful ghosts descending like rain towards him.
For a moment, he even saw around him were faces thin as withered wood, surrounding him, even engulfing him, all opening their mouths to bite him.
He waved his broad sleeve and retreated into the hall, dispelling the illusion, there were no Yin Ghosts nor any living being around him, as if it was just a momentary illusion.
But the spots bitten in the illusion still hurt unbearably even when the illusion faded.
Raising his sleeve, he saw patches of red swollen sores on his body, some even starting to fester.
He looked up at the sky, intending to trace the origin of this curse, to suppress it with magic, but he couldn't have imagined that the cause and effect he saw was beyond imagination.
This curse, arising from the surplus tens of thousands in the Four Prefectures and Seven States, with a curse substituting for heaven, evoking the sorrow of millions, trace the origin, and couldn't find the source.
Instead, instantly tainted by curse power, the majestic Chen Family's Head ended up covered in sores.
"What on earth happened?"
Inside the hall, as the Divine Fragrance Hall Official died, others, regardless of their status, felt a penetrating chill, and their ears were occasionally filled with countless overlapping scoldings.
Moreover, some saw countless black lines hanging from the sky, entwining around them, feeling an invisible force pressing down, angrily, madly, searching for the soul within their bodies...
They couldn't bother with anything else, desperately trying to shake off these black lines, but it was futile, only trembling and using all their strength to hide.
But they are the most skilled individuals in the Chen Family, and having worshipped at Granny Meng's Shop, barely able to hide.
Most of the Chen Family, however, couldn't escape.
"It's bad, it's bad, the great lady is gone..."
"Madam, Madam..."
A deathly silence pervaded the hall, yet outside, cries and screams rose, from the Chen Family's mansion.
For this duel, various talents from the Chen Family gathered in the old mansion, worried that other clansmen might be affected, all rushed to wait at the village down the mountain, but now, the cries in the village even reached into the mansion.
The pampered lady was preparing a feast for the men of the family, so they could have a warm cup of wine upon returning victorious from this duel.
Yet inexplicably, she heard someone above calling her name, looked up, suddenly rolled her eyes and died.
The cleaned chicken on the table was about to be cooked but suddenly jumped up, waving its bare wings, and from the bright knife cut on its neck came scoldings, leading everyone in the kitchen to die.
Everyone was as if fallen into hell, with invisible webs covering their heads, wiping hard but not cleaning, and if too much force was used, even the head would roll off.
The Chen Family, skilled in Black Magic, Corpse Refining, and Summoning Ghost, only using casual means.
They seldom encountered strange events, for to them, their existence was a strange event to ordinary people, but at this moment, all the strange events arrived.
Moreover, perilous and pressing, heavy and unresolved.
They knew what these black lines were, they were cause and effect, a curse had found them.
The Chen Family excels at avoiding cause and effect, avoiding divine retribution, which is also a kind of curse, but issued by God.
The Chen Family could even dodge a curse issued by God, but now they were ensnared by such a curse?
