Chapter 10 Red and White Clash, Iron Arm Blocks the Way
The area in front of the Shen residence was like a ghost town.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, bright red lanterns hung high, casting a ghastly red glow on the snow-covered ground in front of the door.
The eerie wedding procession stopped at the gate, the sound of gongs and drums vanished, leaving only a suffocating silence.
Dozens of "people" dressed in black and wearing pale masks were stiffly charging towards the gate of the Shen residence.
They were incredibly strong, and with each impact, the heavy vermilion door groaned under its strain.
The Shen family's guards, armed with steel knives, fought desperately, but their efforts were ultimately futile and they could not withstand the onslaught.
"what!"
A guard had just slashed at a man in black on the shoulder with his knife, but it was as if he had hit cement. Not only did he fail to cut through, but the man in black also grabbed the blade with his other hand.
"Snap!"
The steel knife was broken in two.
The man in black, his mouth behind his mask, parted into an exaggerated arc and bit down on the guard's neck.
The scene of gushing blood did not occur; instead, the guard's body shriveled up at a visible speed, his life essence drained in an instant.
"Paper puppets! They're made of paper! They're only useful for beheading!"
The head of the Shen family's guards was a seasoned veteran, but he was covered in blood and roared as he commanded his men.
His heart was filled with despair.
These are not ordinary paper figures; they are all entangled with evil spirits, making them impervious to swords and spears and unaware of pain.
Inside the large red sedan chair parked at the very back sat an even more terrifying being, who had yet to make a move.
Gu Yan squatted on the eaves of a restaurant opposite the Shen residence.
He wore a demon mask, his body blending into the darkness, coldly observing the slaughter below.
The panel kept flashing in front of him, and the red warning light was about to fill the screen.
[A large number of low-level Yin Sha puppets have been detected.]
[Intermediate-level eerie creature detected: Ghost Matchmaker (standing beside the sedan chair).]
Gu Yan's gaze fell on the sedan chair.
There stood a short old woman dressed in a bright red funeral shroud.
Her face was covered in thick rouge, and she was waving a tattered handkerchief in her hand, laughing shrilly.
"Shen family girl, the auspicious time has arrived! Hurry up and get into the sedan chair! If you miss Master Yin's appointed time, the entire household will have to become part of your dowry!"
As she finished speaking, the curtain of the large red sedan chair suddenly moved without any wind.
A visible black mist surged out of the sedan chair, transforming into countless black snakes that slithered along the ground toward the gate of the Shen residence.
Any guards who were touched by the black aura instantly stiffened, their skin turned black, and they fell straight down.
That was a magical attack.
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes.
This ghostly matchmaker and that sedan chair are clearly not something the current Shen family can contend with.
If the Shen family is wiped out tonight, that "Master Yin" will devour Shen Youwei's extreme Yin body, and his strength will surely increase dramatically.
At that time, the entire Changning County will probably become a ghost town, and his days of peacefully grinding experience will be over.
more importantly……
Gu Yan looked at the rampaging ghost matchmaker and licked his dry lips.
That's a massive mobile experience pack!
done.
Gu Yan no longer hesitated.
Instead of rushing down himself, he reached out and patted the basket on his back.
"go."
A dark shadow shot out from the basket, like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, bringing a heavy gust of wind as it plummeted straight down from the eaves of a three-story building.
Below, the ghost matchmaker was smugly waving her handkerchief, preparing to cast a spell to break through the Shen family's last line of defense.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, she abruptly looked up.
Before she could react, the enormous black object crashed to the ground.
boom!
A loud bang, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
The bluestone slabs on the ground shattered instantly, and the accumulated snow surged up three zhang high.
As the smoke cleared, a muscular figure, entirely black and gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, was revealed.
That's an upgraded version of "Iron-Bone Fierce God".
It landed right in front of the ghost matchmaker, its pupil-less eyes staring intently at the short, eerie creature before it.
"Where did this bastard come from...?"
The ghost matchmaker screamed and raised her hand to unleash a wisp of dark, malevolent energy.
But the Iron-Boned Fierce God was faster and more ruthless than her.
There are no fancy moves, only pure power.
The iron hand, forged through countless hammer blows and mixed with fifty pounds of iron filings, grabbed the withered arm of the ghost matchmaker as she waved her handkerchief, accompanied by a whistling sound.
"Sizzle~"
A sound like cold water being splashed onto a red-hot iron plate rang out.
That was the violent reaction produced when the potent medicinal power and realgar fire poison contained within the Iron-Bone Ferocious God came into contact with the Yin energy.
"ah!!!"
The ghost matchmaker let out a piercing scream, and thick black smoke billowed from the spot where her arm touched the flames, instantly turning it charred.
"die!"
A cold glint flashed in Gu Yan's eyes from the rooftop, his thoughts sharp as knives.
The fierce, iron-boned demon below received a kill order.
Its other hand suddenly shot out, and five razor-sharp iron fingers pierced directly into the matchmaker's chest.
"Pfft."
There was no blood, only a large amount of black mist gushing out.
With a burst of strength from his arms, the Iron-Boned Ferocious God ripped the object apart.
"Sizzle!"
To the astonishment of the Shen family and the black-clad paper puppets, the arrogant ghost matchmaker was actually torn in two by this suddenly appearing steel monster!
A tattered human skin and a pile of rotting straw lay scattered on the ground.
The entire room fell silent.
Even the large red sedan chair, which had been restless, was stunned by this brutal scene, and the curtains stopped shaking.
On the rooftop, the light screen in front of Gu Yan refreshed rapidly.
[Defeat the Intermediate-Level Mystery: The Ghost Matchmaker.]
[Gained a large amount of Yin energy.]
[Paper-making skill experience increased by 300!]
[Dropped item detected: Wraith Handkerchief (damaged ritual artifact).]
Gu Yan suppressed his overwhelming joy.
This is what he wants.
"Give it to me!"
He issued another order.
The Iron-Bone Ferocious God below grabbed the handkerchief that was still emitting black energy from the ground. Without lingering in the fight, he bent his legs slightly and suddenly pushed off the ground.
"Bang."
With the help of the powerful reaction force, its heavy body sprang up like a cannonball, grabbed the courtyard wall by the roadside, and disappeared into the vast night in a few leaps.
From the moment they appeared to the moment they killed the monster, and then to the moment they retreated, it all took only three breaths.
All that remained was a scene of utter chaos and a crowd of bewildered people staring at each other.
"Who is that?"
Inside the Shen family's gate, Shen Youwei, draped in a fox fur coat, stared palely in the direction where the black figure had disappeared.
Although that thing looked ferocious and terrifying, and was covered in iron armor.
But for some reason, she sensed a very familiar, warm aura emanating from that monster, carrying a faint medicinal fragrance.
That's... Master Gu?
An unbelievable thought surged into her mind.
At that moment, a furious growl came from inside the large red sedan chair.
The voice, neither male nor female, filled with boundless resentment, echoed over Changning County:
"Who... ruined my plans...?"
"I will tear you... to pieces..."
A few streets away.
Gu Yan had already retrieved the Iron-Bone Ferocious God from the shadows and carried it back on his back.
Hearing the roar, he was not afraid; instead, he let out a soft chuckle from under his mask.
Torn to pieces?
He glanced at the handkerchief he had just seized, which exuded a strong sense of yin energy, and then at the tempting experience bar on the panel.
You are welcome to deliver.
I want as many of these experienced babies as I can get.
