Chapter 1184: Chapter 667: The Last Hope! (Part 2)
"Quickly, go!"
"Retreat!"
"Big brother, aunt, you hurry and come out too!"
The Yang Family, united as one, directly flew out of the granary, the light outside still dazzling, but the genuine warmth brightly shone in the hearts of all Yang Family members.
They... have survived.
And then, everyone looked back at the granary behind them.
Waiting for the return of two heroes.
Yang Genshuo thought the same.
"Finally made it... As long as you can escape, we’re safe!"
Cang Jingkong, this monster, though his domain was broken and he sustained some injuries, he is, after all, truly at the Nascent Soul Stage...
"Ancestor, I want to try..."
Yang Min floated in the air and said.
"Don’t act impulsively! You can’t kill it!"
Yang Genshuo immediately opposed.
"Ancestor, I can feel it, there’s another power within this guy, a power completely opposite to the one before; if we can defeat it, we can gain a gift of that power."
Yang Qiangjin also nodded.
"I felt it too... This power is as great as that flower, Xiao Min, aunt will be with you!"
Yang Genshuo’s eyes widened.
Are you two crazy?
Isn’t now the time to run?
"What you need most is to stay alive!"
Yang Genshuo directly used [Manifestation], and a line of golden text appeared above the two people’s heads.
Yang Min’s expression remained resolute.
"Ancestor, I know what I’m doing, this step... I must take."
"Ancestor, you bestowed upon us such abundant power, surely it also consumed a lot of Immortal Power, we won’t waste it!"
Yang Qiangjin has a clear understanding of the ancestor’s spellcasting, knowing every blessing comes with a cost.
Yang Genshuo indeed spent quite a bit of incense, but after all, it’s been unused for a hundred years, he had accumulated plenty and didn’t mind using it.
However...
"Since you’ve made up your minds, I won’t say more, what help I can offer... I’ve already given, now it’s up to you."
"Thank you, Ancestor, for completing us!"
With the ancestor’s support, the two felt enlightened.
Facing off against Cang Jingkong.
Cang Jingkong’s body emitted a deep red color, the domain expanding once again.
"Aunt, this domain of Cang Jingkong... has changed, previously it was an open white domain which was fed something by Guard Li, thus turning into this monstrous appearance."
"To defeat it, we need to find the root cause of this change..."
Now their Spiritual Power was as continuous as a flowing river, two massive Heaven and Earth Dharma Illusions gathering supreme power.
Even the expanded domain couldn’t approach the two.
"Its power surely doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it’s not a person... but a composite of intentions, we need to start from the perspective of intentions."
Yang Qiangjin also discerned something.
What they faced wasn’t a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, but rather... a Legendary Soul, an entity with Nascent Soul power.
"You lowly beings! You have angered me! I will cut off your food supply, starve your families and kin, and turn you into Flowing Corpses!"
Cang Jingkong blew a strong crimson wind, carrying a unique force sweeping over!
Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin felt the special force couldn’t be directly resisted, and they dodged.
But the sinister wind circled back and chased them again, changing several times, it directly entangled the two.
Instantly!
Both of their stomachs rapidly flattened, a soul-deep hunger engulfed the two!
Yang Min: "So hungry..."
"I want to eat something... Anything will do."
Yang Qiangjin: "My power is fading..."
"Not good, if this continues, we won’t be able to maintain the Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms!"
This wind seemed to have directly altered their physical status, shifting them from a normal state to that of cultivators hungry for who knows how long... their originally firm resolve replaced by the body’s instinctual urge to eat.
"Such a spell exists?"
Yang Genshuo was astonished!
Directly turning them into starving spirits!? How frightening this state is.
When a person hasn’t eaten enough, they only care about one thing...
Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin’s eyes glowed green from hunger!
The most terrifying thing is, the various Spirit Food and Elixirs they took from their Storage Rings had no effect!
Their stomachs continued to shrink, as if a black hole inside was sucking away all their power.
No matter how much they ate, it wouldn’t satisfy.
"Heh heh heh~ Taste the pain of hunger, I am the God of the Warehouse managing the world’s granary! How dare you lowlies defy me?"
Cang Jingkong’s expression grew increasingly twisted, his entire body no longer resembling a human.
Like a rat, like a corpse, like a ghost, and like a demon... entirely unlike a person.
Taking advantage of their ’illness,’ he charged again!
His moves like a demonic emergence, what was once equally matched, Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min were forced into defeat.
Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin used various techniques, but still couldn’t counteract the extreme hunger and power loss, facing immense torment both physically and mentally.
At any moment, they might collapse entirely!
"This is what a Nascent Soul Great Power is... What terrifying ability, if they can’t break from this state, Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin are doomed."
Yang Genshuo could affirm this.
"What to do? How to break the stalemate?"
"What other abilities do I have?"
"Talent... I’ve given all usable talents already!"
Not just talents, but various blessings also all given.
Entirely lacking in novel methods...
Leading Yang Genshuo to ponder a question.
"What exactly was that move just now? Why does it feel familiar?"
"Like... some curse?"
"Wait! Didn’t it just say ’turn you into Flowing Corpses,’ and Li Guard himself was a Flowing Corpse, could Cang Jingkong turn people into Flowing Corpse status? And then they wouldn’t be human? Is this a rule?"
"How to break this rule?"
"The Flowing Corpses outside are continuously overturning this Dynasty’s reign, the Flowing Corpse army outside Beijing is growing..."
"Damn it! There’s clearly something right in front... But I just can’t grasp it!"
Yang Genshuo felt the key to solving the riddle seemed hidden among these strange relationships and identities, but couldn’t understand...
Just as Yang Genshuo was having a splitting headache, outside the granary, three Puzzle Solvers returned.
Puzzle Solver No. 2, No. 6, and No. 9.
"Miss, young master, let us lend you a helping hand!"
"We discovered some suspicious matters..."
"If this story isn’t a tale of certain death, it won’t lead us into a fight we cannot win, there must be a solution behind the riddle!"
Yang Qiangjin shouted angrily: "Who let you come back! Your task was to lead them away from here!"
No. 6 stepped forward and said: "We have enough companions to lead them away, what we’re doing now is more important, please trust our judgment!"
No. 2: "Everything here won’t end in sure death, we’ve actually been caught in the story’s trap all day!"
No. 9: "Realm doesn’t matter, the story matters!"
The deafening voices of the three caused the taut string in Yang Genshuo’s mind to suddenly snap!
"I have it!"
"The person who ties the bell must untie it! Cang Jingkong isn’t our enemy!"
"Our real enemy is the one sabotaging our actions... Guard Li, he polluted Cang Jingkong, now you need to help Cang Jingkong regain his right status!"
"Look inside Cang Jingkong’s head, there’s a red flower!"
The ancestor’s voice descended from the sky, allowing the two engaged in battle to regain their senses, seeing the distorted face of Cang Jingkong within which was a flower of just one shape.
"You cannot kill it, but you can help it find release!"
"This is your last hope!"
