Witch King of the Central Continent (2/5)

The "Witch Mark" mentioned by the Spider Queen is essentially a variant of Talisman Incantation Speech.

Because in this world, not all witches possess the Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability to directly perceive the essence of heaven and earth, like the Witch of the Huai River.

In order to maximize their mastery of language, shamans usually take two routes.

One option is to seek help from the gods, become their priests, and entrust everything to deities with higher wisdom.

The other is to delve into the essence of language, hoping to use it as a means to understand the truth of the operation of heaven and earth, and truly master power comparable to that of the gods.

The former saves time and effort; if the gods so desire, priests can be mass-produced.

The latter places greater emphasis on individual talent and intelligence.

Even ten thousand Mountain Folk might not be able to produce a true shaman.

In such circumstances, some witches would naturally want to take shortcuts, thus creating all sorts of monsters that defy morality and common sense.

"Get out of the way!"

The crimson monster, or rather, hovering in mid-air, roared fiercely at the crimson creature below with a majestic expression.

"For the sake of that Son of the Mountain God, I will tolerate your offense."

"But if you insist on blocking my way, then don't blame me for not showing any mercy from now on!"

He didn't actually know Chi, but he knew about the Human-Faced Fish.

During the time we were trapped on Flying Peak.

These unusual fish are often seen in the pools of waterfalls.

"!"

Faced with the threat, Chi demonstrated his stance through concrete actions.

When that piercing sound wave reappeared, my eardrums were instantly impacted.

Strangely, blood was flowing from all seven orifices.

Ke's expression and demeanor remained unchanged, staring straight at Chi like a puppet on strings.

"Stubborn and foolish god!"

Its wings suddenly unfurled, and the Gluttonous Feast Mark on its body accelerated their movement.

Tumultuous!

In the blink of an eye, his body suddenly swelled and transformed into a gaping, ferocious mouth with only five facial features.

"Hiss!"

Just as Chi was about to be swallowed whole by Yue, a huge spider web suddenly shot towards Chi.

"Ah?"

Completely unprepared for this "sneak attack" from behind, Chi let out a startled cry.

The next second, the Spider Queen in the water and a group of Human-Faced Fish exerted their strength together, forcefully dragging the red fish on the shore back into the water.

"Anhui flavor!"

The ferocious maw missed its target, leaving a huge crater several meters deep in the ground.

The nearby vegetation and soil were swallowed whole by the ferocious maw, and only then did Yue's figure reappear in the deep pit.

It returned to its original form.

Yue merely glanced indifferently at Chi and the Spider Queen in the water, but did not take any drastic measures to exterminate them.

Because this trip wasn't for the Chiru or the Spider Queen at all.

rustling...

Accompanied by footsteps that didn't sound like humans, it arrived before the villagers of the Mountain Hollow Village like a ghost.

No, to be precise, they arrived in front of the only pregnant woman still awake in the Mountain Hollow Village.

"Sorry, I'm here to kill you."

A faint hint of apology appeared in his cold eyes, but his tone remained indifferent.

"Why--"

Looking up at the crimson monster in front of her, the pregnant woman stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.

Perhaps due to excessive fright, the pregnant woman did not show much fear, only deep confusion and bewilderment.

"Because you're carrying a monster."

"Only by killing you can we stop that monster from being born."

"For the sake of your village, for the stability of this region, you must die."

After saying that, he didn't explain anything further, but slowly raised his hand.

In order to minimize the pregnant woman's pain, no overly drastic methods were used.

This may be the only kindness he can offer the other party right now.

Call out!

Just as the hand chop was about to fall, a low whistling sound suddenly rang out.

Before he could react, his hand, which was about to fall, was severed by a golden light.

"What·--"

This time, Dingyi's eyes widened in surprise.

Because this happened so suddenly...

It wasn't until my hand hit the ground that I felt that excruciating pain.

Strangely, even with such intense pain, his expression remained completely unchanged.

Why are you stopping me?

His head didn't move, but his eyes were strangely looking to one side.

Yue saw the true form of that golden light—a golden Sword Pill no bigger than the palm of his hand.

"I helped you forge this golden body," not so you could kill people on my turf.

The golden Sword Pill spun twice before soaring back into the sky.

Should I continue calling you now?

"Or should I formally address you as the Witch King?"

Li Boyang slowly descended from the sky, riding on a white auspicious cloud, and put the golden Sword Pill back into his body.

"Just keep calling me that!"

"After all, I'm only temporarily in control of this body; I'm not its true owner."

Without denying Li Boyang's title, the Witch King merely stared indifferently at Li Boyang, who stood in his way, his tone remaining strangely calm.

"Haha, what an unexpected situation!"

With a smile, Li Boyang tossed the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron aside and looked back at the Witch King with the same unchanged expression.

"No wonder so many unexpected things happened when I was helping this guy refine his body."

"It turns out that he didn't only have his own soul and consciousness inside him."

Looking back now, it was all because of you!

Although it was a question, Li Boyang spoke with unusual certainty.

With the facts laid bare before him, Li Boyang reviewed the various circumstances during his body-refining practice and understood the situation perfectly.

"I never expected that in such a wild and untamed place as the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, there would be such an outstanding child shaman as you."

"Although I don't know how you did it, you did manage to activate the Gluttony Mark I left on him without using any special abilities—"

The Witch King paused slightly at this point.

"No, it's not as simple as just activating the Gluttony Mark."

"You even used that magical cauldron to make up for the flaws in my Witch Law, giving me a truly Vajra Indestructibility body."

+

"From the moment I emerged from the furnace, my consciousness had already become a part of it."

"He can use my power at any time without any sacrifices or paying any price."
