“Old brother is so kind…”

Seeing that he actually remembered him, especially the favor of the half-broken knife from back then, Hu Ma was pleasantly surprised.

Now, using himself to block the Li family's spell, he glanced at the blood pool and saw that the situation was becoming increasingly grim. Shao Daozi (Burning Blade) was still the most murderous, with the rolling blood pool merging into his body.

In terms of aura, everyone else combined couldn't compare to him alone. However, on the other side, the divinely bestowed king's killing intent was also rapidly increasing, becoming several times stronger in an instant.

Such a rapid increase in killing intent, wouldn't that mean he was rampaging and slaughtering in the Yang realm?

Those were all the three-way allied forces, all his own people.

Leaving aside how this blood pool was seized, the casualties alone were unbearable. He had to stop him quickly.

Hu Ma wasn't sure how capable this Evil Acolyte old brother was, whether he could deal with the divinely bestowed king, but he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately said to him, "I don't need anything else. It's just that back then, brother, you would draw your knife and chop down anyone who was unfair."

"Now, this divinely bestowed king is slaughtering a hundred thousand common people in the human realm. Brother, are you just going to let it be?"

"..."

Thinking about this old brother's temperament, perhaps such a disaster could persuade him.

Unexpectedly, the Evil Acolyte only slowly shook his head upon hearing about the divinely bestowed king's slaughter of a hundred thousand common people. His face was blank. "People don't kill people; heaven kills people."

"Being born in this world is a hard life. What's the point of complaining about being killed?"

"..."

"Huh?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised. This old brother seemed to have undergone some changes in the past few years, different from what he remembered.

Just as he was feeling surprised, the Evil Acolyte shook his head again and said, "But I owe you a favor!"

"Since you said so, I'll kill him for you."

As he spoke, he numbly picked up the two halves of the broken knife. Hu Ma had given him the other half back then, thinking he would reforge the two halves together.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't reforged them to this day. He just held the upper half in one hand and the lower half in the other, disregarding the blood pool around him, not caring whether the blood was rushing toward him, and walked toward the divinely bestowed king.

In terms of aura within this blood pool, he was clearly the weakest.

When the other two established a connection with this blood pool, he completely ignored it, as if he were an outsider.

But when he saw him walking toward the divinely bestowed king, the Li family's manager's expression suddenly changed. He exclaimed, "You actually know him?"

Hu Ma just looked coldly at the Li family's manager and said grimly, "Can't the Hu family know capable and extraordinary people from all over the world?"

He bluffed him first.

The Li family's manager's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "Could it be that this kind of fierce person was secretly trained by your Hu family?"

This old tough guy was extremely troublesome for the Li family. He had once been followed by a group of bandits because of his murderous nature, who willingly pushed him to be their leader, recruiting troops and buying horses, gathering in one area, already reaching the level of a Jianghu (martial world) outlaw.

He only needed to take one more step to become a Caotou Wang (grass-roots king).

There were indeed many such Jianghu outlaws in this world.

But often, out of a hundred, not even one could become a Caotou Wang. Most of them were either killed or subdued.

Only this person was different. He had killed off his own outlaw fate.

Those bandits initially followed him because they feared him, so they were careful in everything and obeyed his orders. But later, as more and more people were recruited, it became difficult to manage them. Some were unruly and slaughtered a village, violating his taboo.

Without even explaining, he killed the people who had slaughtered the village.

And the people who had followed him before, who had originally obeyed him, felt that they were familiar with him after a long time and had many subordinates. They felt that they had made contributions. Those who had not dared to advise him in the past now advised him after this incident.

They said things like putting the big picture first, saying that a great man shouldn't be constrained by trivial matters, and so on. As a result, those old-timers who had followed him for two or three years were all killed by him.

Yes.

His murderous intent was overwhelming, and he suppressed the bandits on the entire mountain, killing from the top of the mountain to the bottom, killing all the soldiers who had followed him.

He also killed his own fate as a Jianghu outlaw.

In the end, he was still alone, wandering aimlessly in this world, just like before.

To the Li family, such a person was naturally a treasure. If they could subdue him, it would be an added boost.

But because he was too evil, they could only leave him there.

Until now, they suddenly thought of a terrible thing. No wonder there was such a strange person in the world. Could it be that this old tough guy was secretly cultivated by the Hu family and deliberately sent to the Li family's eyes to be used as a chess piece for a surprise victory?

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. They also saw him walking toward the divinely bestowed king. Compared to the domineering aura of the other two, his killing intent seemed exceptionally pure.

"Something's not right..."

At the same time, Hu Ma and the others also noticed that the killing intent on the divinely bestowed king's body was surging, continuously, and they felt a little strange:

"Could it be that he's been killing people in the Yang realm all along?"

"This killing intent seems to have increased two or three times in an instant. How many heads would it take to fill it in the Yang realm?"

"If that's really the case, wouldn't that mean that the three-way allied forces have all been killed by him?"

"..."

"Don't worry."

The Red Wine Miss on the other side also noticed this and seemed to have guessed something. Her expression was slightly stern as she whispered, "With so many brothers watching over them up there, they will definitely protect the Baoliang Army (grain protection army)."

However, she couldn't explain why the killing intent on the divinely bestowed king's body had increased so terribly if the Baoliang Army was being protected.

At this moment, facing the divinely bestowed king, who was already in a state of bloodshed that was difficult for others to imagine, the Evil Acolyte old brother still had the same dull and foolish look as before. He just slowly came to the divinely bestowed king's front and then suddenly raised his knife.

The divinely bestowed king was now projected in the blood pool, but he had not fallen asleep. His real body was not here, so he would not fight with anyone. However, the blood energy on his body would immediately be stimulated by the killing intent of others.

The Evil Acolyte old brother swung his knife down, as if he were seeking death.

Because his movements of raising and swinging the knife were so smooth, it made people feel that he didn't really understand the danger of his actions.

And what was even more unimaginable was that when he swung this knife down, the divinely bestowed king's surging blood energy, which had already reached the most fierce and violent state, was like paper under his knife.

With just one knife, a large piece was suddenly cut off, turning back into blood and flowing into the blood pool.

And this old brother raised his knife again.

Another knife.

"Is he peeling sweet potatoes?"

This scene fell into the eyes of Hu Ma and the others, and they were suddenly surprised: "This old brother's killing intent is not strong, so one knife can only cut off a part of the blood energy on the divinely bestowed king's body."

"But his killing intent is too pure, so the divinely bestowed king has no ability to resist his knife."

"Wouldn't cutting him down like this sooner or later turn the divinely bestowed king into a human stick?"

"..."

"The fake goods haven't dispersed yet, but this side is about to disperse first?"

In the Yin mansion's blood pool, the Li family's manager saw that knife and was suddenly furious, revealing genuine worry.

He knew the reason for the sudden surge in the divinely bestowed king's blood energy, but he really didn't expect that this old tough guy, whom he hadn't paid much attention to, had become the key at this time.

Originally, the surge in the divinely bestowed king's blood energy would definitely overwhelm that fake, and even give him more power. But if he let him continue cutting like this, wouldn't the Li family's years of hard work be lost in one morning?

In shock and anger, he suddenly changed his expression and slowly raised a vermilion brush in his left hand, wiping it across the book held by the little ghost next to him.

The places where the brush fell were Guo Jiangsheng and Cao Erkui, who were Shao Daozi (Burning Blade) and the old tough guy in this blood pool.

Yin Si (Underworld) crossed out names!

People in this world all have a fixed fate.

But the Li family could cross out the names of living people, and from then on, they would become alien existences between heaven and earth.

People whose names were crossed out by the Yin Si would be swallowed by the blood that涌ed up from the ground, with no remains left, as if they had never existed in the world.

Now, Shao Daozi and the old tough guy were already in the blood pool, their fates intertwined. Once their names were crossed out, they would become alien existences not allowed by heaven and earth, and the two of them would immediately be swallowed by the blood pool.

This was precisely the Li family's method. Even if Hu Ma could block the spells cast by him for Shao Daozi, he couldn't block this kind of method.

But just as he was crossing out the names with his brush, Hu Ma frowned and then stepped forward, his voice cold: "If you use this spell, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

The Li family's manager looked over coldly and shouted, "Come!"

He was not afraid at all. The vermilion brush fell quickly, but at this moment, Hu Ma shouted, "Forgive me for being rude!"

As the voice sounded, he had already flashed in front of the Li family's head manager, raised his hand, and pressed down heavily on the Li family's head manager.

He was a Shou Sui Ren (Year Watcher), and at such a close distance, he didn't give this Li family's manager any chance to dodge or use spells to resist. Even the endless little ghosts around the Li family's manager were all suppressed.

Because at this moment, the level of the battle was too high, it looked like it had a simple return to nature. Hu Ma just shot and then pressed down.

The Li family's manager's body had already shattered and rotted, starting from his indifferent face, inch by inch, turning into dust. The pen in his hand had also fallen.

"Chila..."

This palm of his was extremely simple, but it was unknown how many changes between heaven and earth it had caused.

At Meng Hu Pass (Fierce Tiger Pass), the Li family's two misses suddenly felt a surge of emotion, dazed, as if they had lost something.

In the Li family's old house, the copper mirror in front of the Li old madam suddenly had a crack, and the whole person was stunned.

In addition, in various places, there were countless people watching the battle between the Hu family and the Li family, many of whom were good at observing aura. In an instant, they discovered that the aura in the Li family's place had changed terribly, and their expressions changed: "This battle has just begun..."

"...and people have already started dying?"

"..."

"You are a Shou Sui, and no one can defeat you in close combat, but you underestimate our Li family too much!"

In the Yin mansion, at the same time that Hu Ma slapped out this palm, a cold voice rang out next to Hu Ma in the midst of the blood mist: "If you want this life, then take it. In the eyes of my Li family, there is no life or death?"

As he spoke, in this blood mist, another shadow slowly蠕动ed and grew, and in an instant, it grew to more than half a person tall, its body light, and transparent.

It was still the appearance of the Li family's manager, but it looked like it had no flesh and blood left, only a light and飘飘 shadow.

Did people turn into ghosts after death?

Hu Ma looked coldly, and his expression suddenly凝神ed. After death, people would turn into ghosts, but they had to go through the Zhong Yin body. Within seven days, the three souls would gradually disperse and turn into ghosts.

However, this Li family's manager died instantly and turned into a ghost.

But it was already a critical moment, and Hu Ma didn't have time to think too much. He immediately凝神ed and looked at the Li family's manager.

It was a critical moment. If he could win this method, even if he killed him who had turned into a ghost, even if he beat him to魂飞魄散, Hu Ma would not be soft-hearted.

"Don't even think about it."

As soon as this thought arose, the Li family's manager had already opened his mouth coldly: "You are a Ten Pillar Incense Shou Sui. In the Yang realm, even the likes of the Guo Shi (National Teacher) can't do anything to you, but in the Yin mansion, my Li family is also immortal and indestructible. How can you do anything to me?"

"Don't underestimate the Wu Chang (Impermanence) Li family too much..."

He sighed softly: "No matter how powerful the Guo Shi is, in the Yin mansion, he will still lose to my Li family, let alone you?"

In the voice, with his divine soul as the core, a series of white banners suddenly drilled out, layer upon layer, circle upon circle, infinitely many, infinitely large.

It was as if the place within sight had been turned into a white world, and even the blood pool was blocked. At the same time that the banners changed, the surrounding Li family's Yin mansion was completely shattered.

Strands of purple energy rose up and were added to the white banners, forming strange Tian Wen (celestial inscriptions).

Among the white banners, the Li family's manager had a solemn expression, unfolded the Yuan Nie Pu (book of grievances) in his hand, and slowly recited Hu Ma's name:

"Old Yin Mountain people, Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Prefecture) Lord, Hu Ma, in Ming Prefecture, he纵鬼行恶 (released ghosts to do evil), his crime is unforgivable!"

"There should be this punishment, to鉴天地 (learn from heaven and earth)!"

"..."

"You guys get out of the way!"

At this moment, Hu Ma's expression also changed, and he suddenly reminded Erguotou and the Red Wine Miss.

He had long known that the Li family held the book of grievances for the blood pool, and there were names of various people who had committed crimes on it. According to reason, there were many immoral things in the sects. Once there was a crime, they would be punished immediately.

Earlier, when he was in Ming Prefecture, he took the blame for others in order to solve the evil ghost disaster. At that time, the backlash should have come to his door, but the Li family held it back and didn't punish him.

Not only to himself, but the Li family was like this to anyone.

There was a name on the book, but they didn't ask or punish, but only kept it until a critical moment. What they wanted was to use the power of heaven and earth to control people. Once this method was used, it would be more powerful than any Soul Retrieval method in the sects.

The Li family's two great methods, Calling Names and Soul Capture, wanted to avoid the Li family's spells, so they needed to prevent the other party from calling out their names. Therefore, all the capable people in the world were prepared early.

However, the Li family's preparations were also sufficient. They borrowed the errand of the blood pool and retained the power to call out the names of any capable people in the world.

At the same time that Hu Ma was vigilant, at this time, the Wu Chang Li family, after receiving the Li family's manager's order, had family members who had been waiting for a long time, gathered in the Li family's courtyard on an old well, with a秤砣 (weight) placed on it.

Twenty years ago, a strange well appeared in Zhangzhou. The surrounding people often heard someone calling their names in the well. They thought someone had accidentally fallen into the well, but when they looked at the well, their souls were lost.

They would come to the well at midnight and throw themselves into the well and die.

Someone from the Li family passed by here, saw the weirdness of this well, regarded it as a treasure, and moved the whole family to this place, using a weight to press the wellhead. For twenty years, they had been adding to it with secret methods day and night.

Now, the weight was pressed on the well, which made this well not call out people's names for twenty years, but it was unknown how much势 (power) had been accumulated.

Until now, the Li family finally gathered here after receiving a message from the Great Master, and then burned incense, kowtowed, and the Li family's several members with the highest status besides the old lady simultaneously removed the weight.

The wellhead saw the light of day again, and Yin Qi (Yin energy) rushed into the sky.

The Li family members were in a hurry, lit a piece of talisman paper with Hu Ma's name and date of birth written on it, and threw it into the well.

In the next moment, a gust of Yin wind that changed the color of the sky and the earth suddenly blew out from this old well, whistling through the sky and the earth. In the vagueness, it seemed like a human voice,幽幽荡荡 (quietly swaying), calling out a name:

"Zhen Sui Fu Lord, Hu Ma!"

"..."

"The old well calls names, seals souls and夺寿 (seizes lifespan)?"

At this moment, Hu Ma clearly saw the appearance of that old well, because he was in the Yin mansion, and it was really coming towards him.

He could even feel that as that name was called out, his Daoxing (Taoist cultivation), was actually rapidly流失 (losing), constantly, all flowing into that old well.

The Ten Pillar Daoxing was not easy to cultivate, but it was too simple to be夺走ed by that old well. Even if his cultivation method was different from others, the Daoxing that was夺走ed was real and could not be recovered.

At this moment, he finally realized the horror of the Li family's method.

Not only did they prepare early in the Calling Names, but they also made corresponding arrangements for the Calling Names itself. In terms of Hu Ma's life, anyone in the world who wanted to use spells to call his name might be dragged down and backfired because of the weight of his life.

But only the Li family was different. They had secretly raised a well for twenty years and filled it with the blood pool's method day and night.

At the moment of unsealing, the fierce power that erupted from this well could even be comparable to the power of the entire blood pool in an instant.

The most important thing was that because this method was not really to kill Hu Ma, but to夺走 all of Hu Ma's Daoxing and trap him in the well, the Li family could even avoid the backlash from heaven and earth.

As far as the matter was concerned, their method had been completed.

The methods of the Xing Hun (punishing souls) sect only had the distinction between success and failure, and never left people with room for entanglement.

Now that the术法 (spell) had been completed, the fierce power would appear. It was like a fierce knife that, after being unsheathed, would definitely be斩ed on people's necks.

This knife could not be blocked, only dodged, but it could not be dodged completely.

If it was the Fei Ren (non-human) realm who had just crossed the bridge, they could probably avoid 30% of the power of their family's methods. The Fei Gui (non-ghost) realm could probably avoid 50%, and the Fei Shen (non-god) realm might be able to avoid 70%.

At the realm of the Guo Shi, their own fate was already extremely shallow and they could avoid 90%.

But the problem was that the Li family had accumulated their method for twenty years. Once it was completed, it would be earth-shattering. Even if it only had 10% of its power, it would be enough to kill anyone's body.

He had not crossed the bridge, but stood firmly in the human realm, so he could not avoid even 10%.

Even if he used the Heaven and Earth Immovable Seal, this method would not let him go. Just like every text message would enter the destined phone, this method would also fall on him.

This was the Li family's mother method, the non-god method.

The most top-notch method between heaven and earth, if you really talked about it, it could at least rank among the top six most powerful abilities in the world today.

Hu Ma's Ten Pillar Incense Daoxing had already lost three pillars the moment that old well called out his name. Then, one pillar after another was lost, which made his body lighter and lighter. In the blink of an eye, only the last pillar was left.

"Hu Da Xiansheng (Mr. Hu)..."

At this time, the Li family's manager's figure was缥缈 (vague). In the rolling white banners, he also drank deeply: "It shouldn't have turned into such a lose-lose situation."

"If you are willing to服输 (admit defeat) at this time, my Li family still has a chance to cover that well again..."

……

……

"It's not good..."

Erguotou, who was next to him, saw this scene and his expression changed drastically. He waved his hand to summon the altar flag and wanted to step forward to help Hu Ma, but the Red Wine Miss suddenly reached out and grabbed him: "Don't do meaningless things."

"The winning hand is not here. Tie Guanyin (Iron Guanyin) has other arrangements for these things."
