Chapter 175: Chapter 154 Fox Lady Paper Axe_3

The whistle sounded again.

This eerie whistle was inaudible to the rest of the people in East Market Street, but Mu Hua could hear it clearly, like the urging call of a death-dealing Evil Ghost, pushing him to hasten his actions.

Soon, the rudimentary form of a Blood Gate was drawn by Mu Hua onto the coffin.

"Hua, stop drawing, they are seeking you with malice..."

"It hurts..."

Mu Hua felt such extreme pain that it was tearing him apart, but he did not know how to describe what he was feeling, only able to repeatedly cry out "It hurts!"

Unable to bear the pain, he could only continue drawing the door; using his Finger Blood, he drew an eye on the left and right side of the door, after which a series of sighs came from the coffin.

Then, from the originally empty wooden coffin, dozens of iron chains as thick as fingers sprouted, lashing toward Mu Hua’s back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With each lash, it sounded not like they were striking flesh but rather hitting a post, the sound dull, but the scene was shockingly gruesome.

With a single whip,

Mu Hua’s body would spurt out a puff of blood mist,

blurring Sister Cui’s vision.

Sister Cui was in agony, each lash felt as though it struck right at her heart; she could no longer bear it and ran towards the back door of the house.

The back door of the house opened, Sister Cui did not go out; instead, a giant Four-tailed Fox emerged.

The fox’s figure was exquisite, its four furry tails like large umbrellas when running, moving with agile grace, like a fairy from the Fox Clan.

The Four-tailed Fox dashed along the back door alley, stopping in front of a shop, then suddenly stopped, extended a paw, and urgently knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened a narrow gap, an old hand holding a Paper Axe reached out from the crack.

The Four-tailed Fox bowed with its front paws, as if to thank the person inside the house for their assistance, bowing three times in succession before it grasped the Paper Axe in its mouth and continued running towards the far east end of East Market Street,

The main road of East Market Street was bustling, but the little path by the back door was mostly empty,

Occasionally, a few would leave through the back door, glimpsing the fox for an instant before fainting inexplicably.

The Four-tailed Fox, unimpeded, dashed to the easternmost corner.

East Market Street was like a massive coffin,

and in each corner of the coffin, there stood a Chinese scholar tree, much like Coffin Nails.

The Four-tailed Fox appeared before the scholar tree in the east corner, suddenly standing upright, its front paws grasping the Paper Axe and chopping at the scholar tree!

The scholar tree was as hard as iron, an adult chopping with a metal axe with full swings could only leave a shallow white mark on the trunk.

But now the Paper Axe in the Four-tailed Fox’s hand seemed sharper than a metal axe, as with one chop, the blade buried deep into the trunk.

"Thump!"

The axe split open the tree, and blood oozed profusely from within.

The Four-tailed Fox forcefully pulled the axe from the trunk and hacked into the tree again...

...

Peng Hu was focused on activating the Netherworld Stone, when he suddenly felt a pain in his thigh.

He looked down to see a sapling growing out of his robust thigh.

"Whose sapling is this?" he reached to pull the sapling from his leg, only to feel a pain in his buttocks, followed by abdominal pain.

He instantly realized that another sapling had grown inside his body.

Peng Hu tried to get up in a panic, but found himself unable to stand; the wildly growing sapling within him sprouted branches, countless hooks together with vigorous roots, held him firmly to the ground.

"Priest, save me!"

Peng Hu didn’t care about the rift with the Copper Coin Priest any longer and screamed loudly for help, but he quickly found he could not utter another word.

A wrist-thick branch punctured through his mouth.

...

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The Four-tailed Fox mustered all its strength, swinging the Paper Axe, chopping three times in succession at the scholar tree!

A rush of blood poured out from the cuts on the tree.

...

The tree growing inside Peng Hu’s body was wilder than weeds, reaching a height of three meters in just a few seconds.

One after another, branches pierced out from Peng Hu’s body,

Peng Hu first resembled a hedgehog, his body with branches sticking out from his flesh, and then his body burst open as the thickening trunk gruesomely tore him apart, scattering bits of flesh onto the tree and the ground.

The Netherworld Stone that connected to the Legend of the Hundred Spirits, fell to the ground, losing its glow.

Afterward, the wildly growing tree also shrank, smaller... until it disappeared into the soil, never to be seen again.

Beneath the scholar tree at the east end of East Market Street, the Four-tailed Fox bowed and kowtowed to the old scholar tree!

It kowtowed earnestly.

...

At Yunluo Mountain Range, Sacrificial site,

The Copper Coin Priest erupted in fury, unable to believe that Peng Hu, whom he had sent to link to the "Legend of the Hundred Spirits," had died by the hand of a tree!

Destroyed by a tree, bursting with life, the speed of death did not even allow time for him to remove his copper coin tattoo to rescue him!

"Peng Long Peng Hu, you two are good-for-nothings! Good-for-nothings!"

The Copper Coin Priest angrily shook his body’s copper coins clinking.

The two brothers, one to watch over the Nuo God and the other to connect with the Legend of the Hundred Spirits, had failed not only to fulfill their tasks but had also died inexplicably!

"Good-for-nothings! Good-for-nothings..."

The railing curses of the Copper Coin Priest suddenly stopped; he remembered something very important—the Netherworld Stone was still next to the abandoned well in East Market Street.

The Netherworld Stone must not fall into the hands of others.

With this thought,

The Copper Coin Priest hurriedly linked with the Shi Family quad who had arrived at Mingjiang Prefecture: "Retrieve the Netherworld Stone! Find it now!"

...

Next to the abandoned well of East Market Street, scattered all around were chunks of corpses and pieces of flesh, the scene too ghastly to behold.
