The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 133 Killing Three Sorcerers and Obtaining a Female Banshee

According to the partial memories obtained by Li Zhen, the Origin Bat was created by sorcerer Na Long and others to receive the origin of evil.

Using the original bat as the initial source, Nalong and others created many other bats.

The bat that Magusu kept was actually just a rather special one among many bats, chosen by Magusu as her natal bat.

This bat was killed by Li Zhen once, and then taken away from the mission world by Li Zhen.

For some reason, after being resurrected, this bat directly replaced the original primal bat and became the only primal bat, namely the Red-Eyed Bat.

The red-eyed bat is unique; the bats created later are not actually true red-eyed bats.

Perhaps due to mutual influence, the original bat also died when Li Zhen killed the bat that Ma Gusu had killed.

As long as Magusu's bat is not reduced to ashes, all the original bats raised by Nalong can be resurrected.

However, Nalong tried many methods but failed to revive the dead bats.

He felt very strange, which is why he tried every means to find the bat that Li Zhen had taken away.

Later, after suddenly seeing the red-eyed bat next to Li Zhen, he realized why his bat, despite showing signs of reaction, could not be revived.

Is the so-called origin of evil the root cause of the red-eyed bats' sinister nature?
So, what exactly is this origin?
Although the red-eyed bats are strange, they are still somewhat different from demons. Li Zhen doesn't know what the true nature of demons is.

Perhaps he will only know what really happened after he has fully digested Nalong's memories.

“This thing is a bit eerie. What should we do with it?” Huang Jinshen walked to Li Zhen’s side and looked at the demonic statue. “If we don’t deal with it, leaving such a thing here will definitely be a disaster.”

Li Zhen said, "Find a way to remove the head, then set a fire and burn everything else."

“This thing is a single piece, so it’s quite difficult to knock it off.” Huang Jinshen went to find an iron rod and came back.

He slammed the stick on the ground twice, finding it very convenient, but as he tried to climb to the altar where the demon statue was located, he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body.

Huang Jinshen subconsciously looked at the red eyes flashing on the demon statue, and felt that the eyes were getting bigger and bigger, gradually filling his field of vision.

Just then, a gloved hand appeared in front of Wong Kam-sing's eyes, shielding him from the evil spirit's gaze.

A shiver ran through him, and Wong Kam-sing lowered his head, still shaken.

"This demon is terrifying; even a mere statue possesses such malevolence..."

"Let me do it."

Li Zhen grabbed the iron rod, climbed onto the altar, and struck the demon statue hard on the neck with the rod.

The demon statue appeared to be made of hard stone, but it was surprisingly soft when struck. After Li Zhen struck it with an iron rod, stone chips flew everywhere.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Li Zhen continued to smash the iron rod a few more times, and half of the demon statue's neck was smashed off.

After his right hand was covered with snake-scale-like keratin, it not only enhanced his defensive capabilities but also made him much stronger than before.

Only after smashing the demon's head off the demon statue and onto the ground did Li Zhen jump down from the altar.

He took out a piece of blue paper covered with talismans from his pocket, moistened it with water, and stuck it over the eyes of the demon statue.

The red light flashing in the demon's eyes immediately went out.

This surprised Li Zhen a bit.

This talisman wields the power of a spider demon, and I never expected it to be so effective against a bat-faced demon.

Go back and prepare more...

After the little devil checked the jars, he selected some items that he might need. After confirming that there were no traps, Detective Li asked Huang Jinshen and the other man to help him move all the items to the car.

Finally, they loaded the demon statue's head onto the car, and Li Zhen set fire to the outside of the house, burning everything else inside.

There was nothing around the house to burn, so Li Zhen wasn't worried that his fire would cause a large-scale fire.

Back in his rented room next to the temple, Li Zhen didn't want to waste his energy dealing with the head of the demon statue, so he simply handed it over to the middle-aged monk in the temple.

Everyone has their own expertise, so it's most suitable and simplest to let these monks cleanse the demonic nature in that person's mind.

If you place that head in front of the Buddha and chant sutras for a few days, its demonic nature can be completely eradicated.

Aside from organizing what he had acquired, Li Zhen spent the rest of the day learning about meditation techniques from the monks in the temple.

In Buddhism, all of Li Zhen's knowledge came from the weasel's fragmented memories, which were also mixed with some of the weasel's own rudimentary understanding, making those things even more difficult to comprehend.

It was only at this point that Li Zhen gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Buddhist practice philosophy.

Stripping away the religious rituals, the concepts of visualization practice alone, whether from the perspective of Tantric Buddhism or the practice of Master Wendama Mamoru, are profound and require serious study.

Li Zhen knew that these things would definitely be useful to him in the future, so he asked for advice with great seriousness.

In the afternoon, when Li Zhen was about to take his leave, the middle-aged monk hesitated for a while before finally saying, "I wonder when you will perform a ritual to find that sorcerer's fellow disciples?"

Li Zhen glanced at the sky and said to the monk, "Then let's do it tonight."

The middle-aged monk breathed a sigh of relief, called Chen Xiong over, and said to him, "Katibaro, this benefactor will be going to find those sorcerers tonight. You should go with him."

Chen Xiong nodded and smiled at Li Zhen, "Please take good care of me, benefactor."

After dark, Li Zhen, Chen Xiong, and Huang Jinshen, who was driving, embarked on a journey to find the three sorcerers.

This time, no translator was needed, so Somchai was left inside the temple.

Detective Li brought the vampire and the ghost fetus into the car, making Chen Xiong, who was inside, very uncomfortable.

As midnight approached, the three arrived at a crocodile farm.

Li Zhen got out of the car first and, following his memory, led Chen Xiong and Huang Jinshen into the farm.

He walked slowly, with the vampires following closely behind.

As always, the little devil holding the cat and the mahjong devil scouted ahead.

Chen Xiong, who was following a little further away, said nervously, "This place is so eerie, it's a perfect place to perform evil magic. I think it would be much safer if we came here during the day..."

He glanced at Li Zhen, then suddenly realized what he had said and didn't continue.

Choosing to come here in the middle of the night must be because it's eerie enough to facilitate the performance of evil magic by wicked individuals...

One thing he didn't know was...

That's not the whole story.

The reason for delaying their arrival by a day was not because Li Zhen had not found any trace of these people, nor was it simply because it was convenient to perform magic at night. Rather, it was because Li Zhen deliberately gave these sorcerers time to prepare their evil arts.

These people should have learned of Nalong's death that very night.

Based on the knowledge Li Zhen had acquired, and after a day and a night of preparation, those people's evil magic should be nearing completion.

Throughout the world of "The Demon," aside from being interested in the lineage of the Bat Clan, Li Zhen was only truly interested in the female demons and the relic located in Nepal.

The inheritance has been obtained; all that is needed is to digest the memories and make them one's own, thereby elevating one's mastery of black magic.

Now, Li Zhen wants to see if that female demon is evil enough.

The vampire is already covered in items and can't carry much more.

If the banshee meets Li Zhen's expectations, he wants her to be a character who carries luggage, just like a vampire.

That would make it much easier to carry out missions in the future.

It would be so much more convenient if there were a duffel bag that could hold everything...

Unfortunately, Li Zhen did not.

Then he could only try to find more porters for himself.

The door opened silently, and the little ghost and the mahjong ghost, who was chewing something, returned to Li Zhen's side.

The imp reported, "Some fool tried to go and deliver the message, but he got eaten."

Li Zhen continued walking forward.

Chen Xiong said in a low voice, "It's convenient to have someone scout ahead."

Li Zhen said, "They have already sensed our arrival."

Chen Xiong was startled and silently prepared to respond.

Huang Jinshen, who was following behind Li Zhen, also became anxious and secretly grabbed the talisman that Li Zhen had given him.
He knew that among the three who came, he was actually the weakest, and if any of the sorcerers wanted to deal with him, he would have almost no power to fight back.

However, since Li Zhen sent him, it means that the danger of coming here is not great.

After walking through a small path, Li Zhen came to a wooden house in the same style as the one where Na Long lived, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A red-eyed bat flew out from behind the vampire zombie, smashed open the wooden door in front of Li Zhen with a "bang," and crashed directly into the wooden house.

A scream came from the wooden house, followed by various panicked shouts and the sound of chanting spells.

Chen Xiong, somewhat nervous, looked at Li Zhen.

With a calm expression, Li Zhen stepped into the house.

Like Nalong's house, this house was also gloomy and empty.

Directly opposite the main gate is a statue of a demon with bat wings, which differs from the demon statue enshrined at Nalong only in details.

Besides the demon statue, the most conspicuous thing in the whole room is a huge crocodile carcass lying in front of the demon statue.

Several human heads hung above the crocodile carcass. The flesh of the heads was dried up, but the eyeballs were intact, hanging in their sockets, looking rather eerie.

Standing next to the crocodile carcass were two sorcerers of similar age to Nalong.

Another sorcerer had just crawled out of the debris under a wall, blood still flowing from his mouth.

You can see that the person's chest appears to be somewhat dented, likely from being recently injured by a red-eyed bat.

Before the man could even steady himself, his expression changed again.

He tried to react, but his injury slowed his movements considerably, and he was then knocked away by the red-eyed bat that swooped down on him.

Previously, Nalong was preparing to find Li Zhen and Chen Xiong, but now Li Zhen is taking the initiative to find these three sorcerers.

These three sorcerers had no idea how terrifying the red-eyed bats were, nor did they know that the person who came to find them was Li Zhen, who was accompanied by the red-eyed bats.

Although they sensed a formidable enemy approaching when the Mahjong Ghost swallowed the little ghost, they did not expect this enemy to be so terrifying.

Li Zhen's gaze swept across the room and landed on the demon statue.

He had already sensed that this evil spirit was trying to influence the red-eyed bats.

Li Zhen handed over all the talismans he had prepared to Huang Jinshen and instructed him, "Put these talismans on that demon statue. If a talisman spontaneously combusts, then put on another one."

Huang Jinshen didn't say anything, but took the talisman and ran towards the evil statue.

Before he even reached the demon statue, he sensed that the light emanating from its eyes had become eerie.

Without his own awareness, his steps slowed and his vision became increasingly blurry.

The talisman in his hand quickly heated up, stimulating Huang Jinshen to wake up.

so close……

With cold sweat pouring down his back, Wong Kam-sing strode to the demon statue and stuck a talisman on it.

Seeing that a corner of the talisman quickly turned to ashes, Huang Jinshen prepared a second talisman.

Upon seeing Li Zhen and his group burst in, the two sorcerers standing next to the crocodile's expression changed drastically.

Without exchanging glances, the two men, one from top to bottom and the other from top to bottom, cut open the sewn-up crocodile's belly.

Maggots, their bellies teeming with life, appeared before the two sorcerers.

At this moment, Chen Xiong, knowing there was no escaping it, rushed to the crocodile carcass.

He glanced at the countless maggots inside the crocodile's belly and almost vomited.

Suppressing his nausea, he took out the magical artifact he had prepared and fiercely stabbed at one of the sorcerers.

Last time, he performed a ritual, but he didn't use any of the ritual implements he had prepared.

Neither side had made any preparations this time, so this magical artifact came in very handy.

The sorcerer, who was focused on the maggots inside the crocodile's belly, had just picked up a jar when he caught a glimpse of Chen Xiong's fierce expression and instinctively used the jar to shield himself.

The can was knocked to the ground.

Chen Xiong's magic weapon pierced the sorcerer's shoulder.

The sorcerer screamed and grabbed Chen Xiong's hands, rendering him unable to move.

Chen Xiong struggled for a moment, but found that he could not free his hands, so he calmed his mind and began to chant scriptures.

A faint Buddhist light emanated from his body, and lines of Nanyang Buddhist scriptures rose from beneath his feet, rapidly spreading throughout his entire body.

The sorcerer screamed again and began chanting incantations.

As he watched this scene, Wong Kam-sing, who was preparing to find an opportunity to provide support, noticed that the talismans pasted on the demon statue were burning even faster, so he quickly pasted a few more talismans on the demon statue.

Fortunately, Li Zhen had prepared many talismans; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to seal the evil statue for long.

The other sorcerer's face grew even uglier, but his actions of holding the jar and pouring the clear liquid onto the crocodile's belly remained completely unaffected.

The maggots inside the crocodile's belly spread out to both sides, revealing a female corpse inside.

The maggots escaped the woman's body at an even faster speed.

The vampires are getting close.

The sorcerer hurriedly chanted a few incantations and threw the jar in his hand at the vampire.

The female corpse suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight from the crocodile's belly.

The female corpse had her hair coiled on her head, and her face had the typical features of a Southeast Asian woman, but her skin was very fair and her figure was plump, making her look nothing like a corpse.

The sorcerer frantically chanted a few incantations.

The female corpse nimbly crawled out from the crocodile's belly.

The sorcerer chanted incantations as he led the stiff-faced female corpse toward the vampire.

They sensed the terror of the approaching enemy.

Regardless of whether the newcomers were the same people who killed Magusu and Nalong, they all knew that only this female demon could deal with them.

This is why they were so desperate to bring the banshee into the world.

The banshee stared blankly at the approaching vampire.

Urged on by the sorcerer's incantation, she reached out her hands to the vampire.

Two bone claws suddenly appeared and grabbed the vampire's chest.

A little blood trickled from the vampire's chest.

That wasn't the vampire's, but the ghost fetus hanging on the vampire's chest.

The enraged demonic fetus extended two tentacles and wrapped them around the banshee.

Pulled by its tentacles, the vampire was dragged directly in front of the female corpse, its two hands gripping the banshee's neck.

The sharp nails pierced the succubus's neck with ease.

The banshee's body twisted strangely, almost escaping from the vampire's grasp.

Seeing that the most powerful female demon was so easily controlled, the sorcerer's face turned extremely ugly.

He chanted a spell aloud.

The succubus responded immediately.

She raised her hands and made a strange gesture.

An eerie aura emanated from her.

As if under some kind of control, the vampire slowly opened its grip on the banshee.

But he merely pulled his nails off the banshee's neck, then more violently stabbed them back into the wounds.

The succubus threw her head back and let out a terrible scream.

The sorcerer was terrified.

Seeing that Li Zhen was approaching, he quickly pulled out a jar-like object from under his loose clothes and threw it at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen grabbed the jar with his gloved right hand.

The thing seemed powerless, yet it made his palm go numb.

At the same time, a strange power spread along the jar towards Li Zhen's body, but was suppressed by Li Zhen's powerful primordial spirit.

The sorcerer looked terrified and kept backing away.

A white bone claw silently pierced the sorcerer's vest, and a "sizzling" corrosive sound was heard as soon as it touched the sorcerer's clothes.

Having suffered a loss, the mahjong ghost quickly withdrew its bone claws.

However, he distracted the sorcerer, creating a great opportunity for Detective Li.

Li Zhen reached out and grabbed the sorcerer's arm.

The defensive talismans on the sorcerer's body immediately exploded.

After a wisp of green smoke rose from the sorcerer's body, the sorcerer let out a scream.

The mahjong ghost's bone claws finally pierced the sorcerer's vest and seized his heart.

Li Zhen withdrew his hand and watched as the sorcerer collapsed helplessly.

These sorcerers are all quite powerful.

However, Detective Li chose the perfect time.

At this time, the female demon's ritual was in the process of being completed but not yet finished.

Faced with a formidable foe, the three sorcerers instinctively wanted to complete the ritual of consecrating the female demon in order to command her to fight the enemy.

But how much power does a hastily crafted female demon possess without the subsequent blessing of the three?
According to some of the knowledge Li Zhen gained, the female demon's terror was not limited to this; otherwise, the three of them would not have needed to spend so much effort to refine the female demon.
