Chapter 64): Martial Artist Lu Yibei


    Lu Yibei stopped reciting the mantra that she was reciting absentmindedly and quickly withdrew her hand from the pile.


    The moment she withdrew her hand, the strange force sucking her magic stopped suddenly, and the screaming stopped as well.


    Whats wrong? Pharoah asked. If you stop the game abruptly, bad things may happen!


    Hmm Yibei answered. The te Deity seems


    Are you scared? Brazil teased.


    While speaking, countless arms from one of the sandbag puppets loomed over Yibei like poisonous snakes ready to pounce.


    Scared. Eat. Eat her


    Strange voices emanated from within the sandbag.


    Yibei gulped, N-no. I dont think that this game is exciting enough. Are there any more interesting games we could try?


    Is that so? Brazil sneered. Do you want to summon a sacrificial god?


    Thats right. Yibei nodded. I happened to know about a ritual of praying to the gods. Would you like to try it out?


    The four sandbags froze.


    Sixian was surprised as well.


    You seem to be smart in the ult, Brazil said. Surely, you dont know anything about spells, right?


    Shes a psychic user Shes not a psychic user Shes a


    Strange voices emanated from the sandbags once again.


    This must be a test. If I say I know spells, will I be attacked?


    No! Im just like you; I heard this urban legend from somewhere, and I think its very interesting.


    An oppressive and tense silence filled the room.


    Lu Yibeis eyes constantly scanned the puppets.


    She was careful not to show any sign of fear.


    Alright, Pharoah said, breaking the silence first. Lets try your suggestion; then well continue ying the te Deity game.


    Its easy. Yibei smiled. The basic process is the same; we just need to change the form.


    Yeah, yeah, Pharoah urged. Lets get it over with.


    Yibei frowned. They didnt seem to care what her game was about.


    Listen to me. There is a mountain, Yibei smiled. There is a woman and a severe drought spreads across thend. She is called Nuba, and she is the goddess of drought!


    Yibei felt something stir in her body.


    Silence.


    The four sandbags nced at each other.


    What are they waiting for?


    Yibei sneaked a nce at Sixian and was slightly taken aback.


    She seemed to be fully enthralled; her eyes were fully white as if she had passed out. Her right hand was forcibly pressed against the te by the hands.


    I need to hurry.


    Withdrawing her gaze, Yibei found that the sandbags were staring deeply at her.


    A gloomy voice boomed from the corridor, but at the same time, it seemed distant, as if it were spoken from the darkest depths of this school.


    Promise her, and then continue the te Deity game.


    The moment the voice sounded, Yibei felt an evil atmosphere flooding the ssroom, and there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes staring into her soul.


    The sandbags whispered in unison, There is a mountain, and there is a woman. A drought spreads across thend. She is called Nuba, and she is the goddess of drought!


    They chanted mechanically in a low voice, and then their voices became louder and louder.


    Yibei watched them anxiously.


    Nothing was happening.


    Whats going on? If this doesnt work, I cant think of any other way to get out!


    Just as Yibei was panicking internally, Sixian suddenly woke up, sat up straight, and began to chant alongside them.


    There is a mountain, and there is a woman.


    In the next moment, Yibei felt that the air around her seemed to stop flowing, and she was bing sticky and hot.


    Immediately afterwards, irritable whispers sounded in her ear as if arge group of people were calling out to her.


    The garbled whispers and chantsshe couldnt make out any of their words, but there was a strong desire to respond to their calls.


    Her head began to ache violently, and her whole body tensed up as if her muscles and nerves might be severed at any time.


    Just when she felt that she was about to pass out, she felt her spirit copse, the voices in her ears receded like a tide, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.


    Du Sixian didnt know when she passed out. When she woke up, she was surprised to find that her friends were mechanically reading a strange chant.


    There is a mountain, and there is a woman.


    In the next moment, the ssroom was set on fire.


    A crimson fire licked at every corner of the ssroom, and a terrifying heat swept across the ssroom. Metal melted into a dazzling juice and flowed on the ground.


    She saw her friends struggling in the mes, their voices shrill and eerie screams.


    On their foreheads, a strange, deep purple pattern flickered intermittently. The symbol would morph into a dark, me-like pattern as if it were trying to rece the symbol.


    It was like a fight for dominance, Sixian guessed.


    The bodies of Pharoah and her friends gradually turned an ashy ck, and their scorched bodies copsed onto the floor.


    Sixian finally saw their true appearance.


    A sandbag puppetposed of distorted heads and countless rotten limbs and arms.


    Sixian immediately crawled backwards in horror: Where is Yibei? She must know what happened, right?


    She darted her eyes around the burning ssroom and saw the figure beside her floating in midair.


    Her eyes were emitting mes, and she waspletely naked. Scarlet hair danced wildly behind her, and Sixian felt as if she were looking directly into the sun.


    The more she stared, the more it hurt; her thoughts sank into a frenzy, and no normal thoughts emerged in her mind.


    A bunch of strange and unknown knowledge was forcefully poured into her mind, causing a sharp pain in her skull.


    She fell to the ground, and the messily scribbled purple lines on her forehead copsed in an instant, gradually reced by a fiery symbol.


    Lu Yibei didnt know how long she had sunk into the silence.


    There were strange whispers in her ears. In that boundless darkness, something was spying on her.


    The sacrifice it was interrupted? How could this be?


    No, she is real.


    In that darkness, she felt irritated. She parted her red lips and cried out, Get away from me!


    The prying eyes scattered away, and Yibei found that she was back in the ssroom.


    She was shocked to find that the entire ssroom was scorched ck.


    Thankfully, Sixiany in the corner, safe and sound.


    Meanwhile, the bodies of the urban legends have almost been dispelled, leaving only a disfigured head that red at Yibei.


    There was only one thing left to do.


    She walked towards the discarded statue of Ac, the Immovable, and a bloodthirsty emotion surged in her heart.


    As if something else was possessing her, a scarlet light shed in her eyes.


    My bad, Ill make it up to you by getting rid of all of them.


    The next moment, the shining, scarlet eyes of the statue of Ac upied the disfigured heads field of vision.
