Chapter 125 The Witch King of Zhongzhou (25)

The "witch's mark" mentioned by the Spider Queen is essentially a variant of a spell or mantra.

Because in this world, not all witches possess the divine power to directly perceive the essence of heaven and earth, like the witches of Huaijiang.

In order to make the most of the proverbs they have mastered, 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 study the essence of proverbs, hoping to use them as a means to understand the truth of the workings 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 people might not be able to produce a true shaman.

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

"Step aside!"

The crimson monster... or rather, the ape-like creature, hovered in mid-air, roaring majestically at the crimson carp below.

"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!"

Xiao Yue didn't actually know Chi Yu, but he knew about the human-faced fish.

During the time they were trapped on Feilai Peak.

Xiao Yue often sees these strange fish appearing in the pools of waterfalls.

"Ho!"

Faced with the threat from Xiaoyue, Chiru demonstrated its stance through its actions.

When the piercing sound waves reappeared, Xiao Yue's eardrums were instantly impacted.

Strangely, blood was flowing from all seven orifices.

However, Xiao Yue's expression and demeanor remained unchanged, staring straight at Chi Ru like a puppet on strings.

"Stubborn and foolish god!"

The wings on its back suddenly spread open, and the Taotie patterns on Xiaoyue's body accelerated their movement at that moment.

tumultuous!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yue's body suddenly swelled and transformed into a hideous maw with only five facial features.

"hiss!"

Just as the red carp was about to be swallowed whole by the axe, a huge spider web suddenly shot towards it.

"what?"

Completely unprepared for this "sneak attack" from behind, the red carp cried out in surprise.

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

"Crack!"

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 Xiao Yue's figure reappear in the deep pit.

"..."

It returned to its original form.

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

Because Xiao Yue didn't come here for the Red Carp and the Spider Queen at all.

rustling...

Accompanied by footsteps that didn't sound like humans, Xiao Yue appeared before the villagers of Shan'ao Village like a ghost.

No, to be precise, they arrived in front of the only pregnant woman still awake in the mountain village.

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

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

"Why……"

Looking up at the crimson monster before her, the pregnant woman stared wide-eyed in bewilderment. Perhaps due to excessive fright, she didn't even show much fear, only deep confusion and bewilderment.

"Because you are 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 this, Xiao Yue didn't explain anything further, but slowly raised his hand.

To minimize the pregnant woman's suffering, Xiao Yue did not use any overly drastic methods.

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

call out!
Just as Xiao Yue's hand blade was about to fall, a low whistling sound suddenly came from the air.

Before Xiao Yue could react, his hand, which was about to fall, was cut off by a golden light.

"What……"

This time, it was Xiao Yue's turn to stare wide-eyed in surprise.

This happened so suddenly.

It wasn't until the moment his palm hit the ground that Xiao Yue felt that excruciating pain.

Strangely, even with such intense pain, Xiao Yue's expression remained completely unchanged.

"Why stop me?"

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

Xiao Yue saw the true form of that golden light—a golden sword pellet 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 pellet spun twice before flying back into the sky.

"Should I continue calling you Xiao Yue now?"

"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 pellet back into his body.

"You can continue to call me Xiao Yue!"

"After all, I am only temporarily in control of this body; its true owner is not me."

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

"Haha, what an unexpected situation!"

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

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

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

"Now that I think about it, it's 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 there would be such an outstanding ‘witch child’ as you in such a wild place as the Hundred Mountains.”

"Although I don't know how you did it, you did make Xiao Yue activate the Taotie pattern I left on him without him using the Great Axe..."

At this point, the Witch King paused slightly.

"No, it's not just as simple as activating the Taotie pattern..."

“You even used that magical cauldron to make up for the flaws in my witchcraft, giving Xiaoyue a truly indestructible body.”

"From the moment I emerged from the cauldron, my consciousness had already become a part of Xiao Yue..."

“He can use my power at any time without having to make any sacrifices or pay any price.”
