Chapter 189 Tui! I despise you!



Chapter 189 Tui! I despise you!

"Hozuki, run! They want to capture you and sacrifice you alive, run! I'll stop them."

Yu Bai stopped without hesitation, quickly forming hand seals. A huge shield instantly materialized in front of him, like an indestructible wall, keeping the villagers out.

He turned to Hozuki, his gaze unwavering, and said, "Trust me!"

"But……"

As Hozuki watched the approaching flames, an unprecedented sense of fear and unease welled up within him.

He had a premonition that this time, he and Bai might be...

"Hozuki, do you believe me?" Yu Bai emphasized again.

"I believe you," Hozuki answered without hesitation.

"Then run! No matter what happens, don't come back!"

Knowing that I am here will also become a burden to Yu Bai.

Hozuki gave Yu Bai a deep look, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, resolutely turned around, and ran towards the dense forest on the mountain.

The village is surrounded by mountains and forests, and to get out, one must cross the deep mountains.

"What's going on? Why can't we get out? Something is blocking our way."

After confirming that Hozuki had left, Yu Bai faced the approaching villagers and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "I won't let you pass!"

Fu Jin instantly appeared in his hand. Yu Bai silently calculated the remaining internal energy in his body. Because of his daily meditation, he had accumulated some internal energy.

However, if you want to use a powerful musical skill, that's just a pipe dream.

Even now, maintaining this barrier that can keep the villagers out is reducing his internal energy every second.

But so what?

Yu Bai's fingers lightly brushed across the Fujin zither in his hands, and a big smile appeared on his face. He couldn't just give up because he didn't have enough internal energy.

These villagers want to sacrifice the ghost lantern, but they have to ask him for his permission first!

His fingers suddenly swept across the strings, and the zither produced a melodious and profound sound.

Yu Bai unleashed his Long Song skill, employing the five-tone attack of "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu," which swept towards the villagers.

Unfortunately, due to insufficient internal energy, the power he could unleash was not as great as before.

Although a single blow might not be enough to kill, a serious injury is still possible.

"Pfft~ cough cough~ What's going on? A monster? There's a monster!"

After being attacked by the five tones, the villagers in the front row all vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

The villagers behind them looked at their companions lying on the ground, their lives uncertain, and their faces showed expressions of utter terror.

The invisible wall of air and the villagers who suddenly collapsed left them at a loss, plunging the entire scene into chaos.

"Hmm? That worked~ Let's try again!"

Just as Yu Bai was about to unleash all the remaining internal energy in his body at once to eliminate any future troubles.

However, at that moment, a heavy pressure of time and space suddenly descended upon him, like a heavy burden, making it almost impossible for Yu Bai to breathe.

Yu Bai's face turned pale instantly, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Then he saw the villagers, who had been attacked by him and were lying on the ground, coughing up blood and seemingly dead, suddenly stand up again in a bizarre way.

As if nothing had happened, she had no memory of what had just occurred.

It was like a videotape being reset; the villagers, who had just gotten up, were reliving the previous scene.

"We have to hurry! We must find that child. We can't delay any longer. We need rain to save the village," a villager said urgently.

"Yes, chase them!"

The other villagers responded enthusiastically, and they passed through the invisible wall that Yu Bai had set up without any hindrance, rushing towards the mountains and forests.

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Bai knew exactly what had happened.

He was almost laughing in anger; it was obvious that the laws of this timeline prevented him from altering history.

Because Hozuki is destined to become an indispensable assistant to King Enma in Hell. It can be said that Hozuki holds immense importance throughout Hell.

Therefore, the law does not allow anyone to disrupt this crucial point where the person becomes a spirit or deity after being sacrificed by the villagers.

Yu Bai, who wanted to stop Hozuki from being sacrificed by the villagers, naturally attracted the attention of the laws.

However, because of Yu Bai's identity and strength, although the law was unwilling to confront him directly, controlling these villagers was a piece of cake for it.

Therefore, this led to what just happened.

Yu Bai struggled to stand up and catch up with the villagers, but he found that the pressure on him was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole space was repelling him.

He could clearly feel that his connection with this space-time was gradually weakening.

It's likely that he'll soon be sent back to his original world by the force of spacetime repulsion.

This made Yu Bai very anxious. He hadn't seen Hozuki escape this dangerous place safely yet, so how could he just leave like this?

Yu Bai tried to get up again, but at this moment his internal energy was almost depleted, and he could not move an inch.

At the same time, dark ripples began to spread across the pitch-black sky.

These ripples, like invisible giant hands, pushed the clouds in the sky aside, forming a huge vortex.

Within that vortex emanated the familiar aura of the Unscrupulous Inspector.

It seemed that if Yu Bai made a single move, they would descend upon this land, making the situation even more troublesome.

Your father's.

It's not enough for you to suppress me yourself, you have to come and find help. Have you no shame?

tui!

I despise you, law!

Yu Bai had never wanted to see the Time Travel Army appear as much as he did at this moment.

At least, given the current situation, he can be considered to be on the same side as the Time Travel Army.

……

"We've found Ding! He's there!"

Hozuki ran wildly, keeping Yu Bai's instructions firmly in mind. Even when he tripped because it was too dark, he never stopped running.

Even so, the villagers, exploiting the cheating of the law, still clung to him relentlessly, pressing him step by step. Their shadows, elongated in the torchlight, resembled chains reaching out from hell, attempting to drag Hozuki into an endless abyss.

When that cold voice rang in his ears, Hozuki wasn't worried about being captured and sacrificed alive, but rather about what had happened to Yu Bai.

Yu Bai stayed behind to hold off the villagers. Now that they've caught up, is Yu Bai injured?

The thought of Yu Bai possibly getting hurt sent a sharp pain through Hozuki's heart.

He wanted to turn around immediately and return to Yu Bai's side at all costs, even if it meant facing an even more dangerous situation. But reason told him that doing so would only betray Yu Bai's sacrifice and expectations.

Hozuki felt as if two forces were fiercely clashing within him, and his desire to turn back and find Yu Bai grew stronger and stronger.

But soon, he no longer needed to think about it.

Because the villagers holding torches had caught up and pinned the ghost lantern down.

"Ding, you should come back with us."

The villager pressed down on Hozuki and said those words, but his tone was completely flat, and his eyes stared blankly at Hozuki without any emotion.

……

Yu Bai: Tui! You dog of a rule, if you've got the guts, come down and fight me one-on-one! You even brought helpers, I (‵′)凸 I despise you!

Rule: We need to find a way to get this old man away as soon as possible, so he doesn't interfere with this important event.

Hozuki: (wavering in his heart) Go back, don't go back, go back, don't go back... go back, go back, go back!
