84: Chapter 84 The Buddha's Mercy, Suppressing with a Single Palm
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The crisp sound of cracking was exceptionally piercing in the deathly silent valley.
Countless cracks rapidly spread across the surface of the originally pitch-black and smooth statue like a spider web.
Large chunks of stone skin began to peel off, revealing... a bizarre flesh inside, blood-red and still slightly wriggling!
"It's... it's alive?!"
Zhou Kai sat on the ground in fright, his face pale.
"Roar—!!!"
At this moment, the "statue" suddenly opened its eyes.
In those eyes, there were no pupils, only two clusters of burning ghostly green flames.
It let out a deafening roar.
The sound was like countless wronged Souls wailing in unison, carrying a sharpness and malice that pierced straight into the Soul.
Boom!!!
A terrifying Rule Power fluctuation of S-Class Rank Six erupted from its body, instantly sweeping through the surroundings.
Inside Rebirth Temple.
On Lin Chuan's consciousness panel, prompts of information suddenly popped up:
"[Detected S-Class Rank Six taboo entity!]"
"[Name: Human-Headed Centipede!]"
"[Serial Number: 199!]"
"[Taboo Rule: Fear Manifestation (As long as fear is generated in the heart, one will be locked onto by its rule; if there is no fear in the heart, one will not be attacked!)]"
"[Note: It is a Kin of a certain ancient Dominator, and has been in a deep sleep waiting for its 'Kin Master' to awaken...]"
"S-Class Rank Six? Fear Manifestation?"
Lin Chuan's heart stirred.
This rule... is both difficult and simple.
For ordinary people or Ghost Controllers with weak minds, it is almost impossible not to feel fear when suddenly facing such a terrifying monster.
But as long as the rule is known, forcibly suppressing the inner fear can offer a slim chance of survival.
"Zhou Kai, listen well."
Lin Chuan's voice sounded in Zhou Kai's mind.
"The rule of this monster is 'Fear'."
"As long as you are not afraid in your heart, it cannot harm you."
Zhou Kai trembled all over upon hearing this.
Not afraid?
One must know that fear is a biological instinct!
But he also knew that this was the only way to survive.
"I'm not afraid... I'm not afraid..."
He frantically gave himself mental suggestions.
"I have the protection of the True Buddha..."
Just then.
The [Human-Headed Centipede] moved.
Its massive body twisted suddenly, and dozens of sharp bristles shot out like swords, pointing directly at the several A-Rank Ghost Controllers at the front of the team.
"Ah!!!"
Screams of agony rang out.
Although those Ghost Controllers reacted quickly, they had no power to fight back at all in the face of the S-Class Rank Six rule.
Their bodies were instantly pierced by the bristles and pinned to the ground.
Immediately after.
A hair-raising scene occurred.
Those bristles, like straws, began to wriggle and suck frantically.
The bodies of those Ghost Controllers shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the weirdness within them was directly chewed up and devoured.
In just a few seconds.
They turned into several mummified corpses.
"This..."
Seeing this, the rest of the crowd had their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and the fear in their hearts instantly soared to the extreme.
"Don't be afraid! Everyone, don't be afraid!!"
Zhou Kai suddenly roared.
"Its rule is fear! As long as we are not afraid, it cannot kill us!"
"Believe me!"
Hearing this, the team, which had already become a chaotic mess, quieted down slightly.
Ning Shou reacted instantly.
He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and his gaze became incomparably firm.
"Everyone, hear my command!"
"Hold your breath, empty your mind, and don't think about its appearance!"
"Treat it as a rock, a pile of rotten meat!"
Under his command, everyone began to try to control their emotions.
Although it was difficult, under the threat of death, human potential is limitless.
As expected.
After the crowd's sense of fear decreased slightly.
The movements of the [Human-Headed Centipede] seemed to have slowed down a bit.
"It's working!"
Zhou Kai felt a surge of joy in his heart.
However.
Right at that moment.
In the team, those thirty-one extra "people" suddenly moved.
Without any warning, they directly pounced on the Great Xin Dynasty Ghost Controllers beside them.
"Hee hee hee..."
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm so afraid..."
They let out eerie and terrifying laughter, holding pale ghost candles in their hands, attempting to burn their companions' skin.
"Ah!!"
"Get away!!"
The situation, which had stabilized slightly, collapsed instantly.
The people being attacked instinctively felt fear and panic.
And this fear, to the [Human-Headed Centipede], was like a lighthouse in the darkness, incomparably dazzling.
"Roar—!!!"
It let out a fierce roar and launched an attack again.
And this time, its attack was even more violent and brutal.
In an instant, several more Ghost Controllers died a tragic death.
"No, we can't let this go on!!"
Ning Shou's eyes were nearly splitting.
He knew that if this continued, everyone would die here.
"Since we can't hide, let's fight!"
Boom!!!
A Taboo Rule of s-rank second order erupted from him.
The Taboo Cross fused with him suddenly shone with intense red light, as if it wanted to purge all evil from this world.
"Slash!!"
Holding a Blood-colored Scythe, he turned into a streak of red light and charged towards the massive Human-Headed Centipede.
However.
The difference in Rule Power between the two was too great.
Bang!!
In just a single encounter.
Ning Shou was violently whipped away by a thick centipede leg.
The scythe in his hand almost flew out, his chest was severely caved in, and blood sprayed from his mouth.
"Cough, cough..."
He struggled to get up, but found that his body had been locked by a terrifying Rule Power, making him unable to move.
"It's over..."
Ning Shou's heart was filled with despair... In the distance.
Bao Teng and others, who had been hiding in the back watching the battle, were now looking on coldly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Bao Teng fanned his Embroidered Fan, a perverted smile appearing on his face.
"Truly wonderful."
"These baits are quite capable of struggling..."
"Not bad, truly not bad!"
While Bao Teng was speaking grandiosely.
Several members of Bureau 749 beside him were holding special instruments, quickly recording the data of the [Human-Headed Centipede].
"Captain, the rule has been analyzed."
"It's 'Fear'."
"As long as one is not afraid, one can be immune to its attacks."
Hearing this, Bao Teng nodded with satisfaction and said slowly:
"Very good!"
"With this intelligence, it will be much easier for us to pass through here."
"As for those guys..."
He glanced at the Great Xin Dynasty team that was being slaughtered, his eyes devoid of any pity.
"Let them die; they're just bait anyway."
However.
Just as he was feeling triumphant.
He did not notice.
The three "people" who had been mingling at the very back of their team were now slowly lifting their heads.
In their hollow and lifeless eyes, an extremely eerie light flashed... At the same time.
As Ning Shou fell heavily injured, the Great Xin Dynasty's Ghost Controller team also completely lost their ability to resist.
The [Human-Headed Centipede] was frantically harvesting the lives of the Ghost Controllers one by one.
Zhou Kai hid behind a huge rock, shivering.
"Buddha... help me..."
Just as the Human-Headed Centipede's gaze was about to fall on him.
"Sigh... amitabha buddha..."
A soft sigh sounded in his mind.
Buzz!!!
An unimaginably massive Rule Power instantly descended upon Zhou Kai.
Lin Chuan's rule has descended!
Although this is the Kunlun Ruins, which has special rule suppression.
But by relying on the second layer of the Taboo Domain, Lin Chuan still forcibly projected a portion of his power here.
Boom!!!
Zhou Kai's body shook violently.
His eyes instantly became pitch black, without a trace of white.
An aura that was evil, holy, and full of majesty erupted from his body.
Immediately after, a buddhas shadow slowly condensed behind him!
Between heaven and earth, blood-colored lotuses bloomed, and grand Buddhist Chants rang out in unison.
"Nan... Mo..."
As the Buddhist name vibrated, the buddhas shadow slowly reached out its hand.
In its palm, a black 'Wan' symbol slowly rotated.
Thud!!!
The Buddha Hand fell, covering the sky and the sun, majestically suppressing the Human-Headed Centipede.
"Roar?!"
Feeling the rules contained in the Buddha Hand, the Human-Headed Centipede let out a roar!
It wanted to dodge, but found that the surrounding space had been completely locked down.
Bang!!
A loud bang.
The Human-Headed Centipede was directly slapped... into the ground by this palm!
Countless centipede legs broke, and green blood splattered everywhere.
"This... this is..."
In the distance.
Bao Teng, who was originally prepared to watch the show, dropped his Embroidered Fan on the ground with a 'clack.'
His eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
"This... this is the rule aura of a high-level taboo!!"
"The Great Xin Dynasty... actually has such a trump card?!"
But before he could think further, the three 'people' behind him suddenly moved.
"Hee hee hee..."
A burst of hair-raising laughter sounded in his ear.
"Captain..."
A cold, stiff hand quietly rested on his shoulder.
Bao Teng's whole body froze, and he slowly turned his head...
