CHAPTER 420: 【164】FIVE GHOSTS SOUL-DEVOURING NAIL, DRAGON AND TIGER SUBDUE DEMONS_6

Once truly encountered, being counter-killed could only be deemed unlucky, a destined calamity.

"Wang Longhu!!!"

Holding the photo handed over by Bao Pi, staring at the young man above, Xuan He Mage angrily clenched his fist, crumpling the photo.

Among his five apprentices, Xuan He Mage had the highest regard for Black Kidney Mage.

Because this disciple was born with the appearance of a deity.

Though no one clearly understands, having the appearance of a deity undoubtedly assists a person greatly.

But undoubtedly, throughout world history, those who have achieved momentous events and great deeds were all beings with the appearance of a deity.

Thus, everyone has defaulted that those with the appearance of a deity will certainly achieve extraordinary feats in the future.

Now that Black Kidney Mage is dead, Xuan He Mage’s heart feels as though it’s being pierced and bleeding.

"Go, gather your three senior brothers and tell them I want to perform the ’Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple’ to avenge Black Kidney." Xuan He Mage said through clenched teeth.

Bao Pi was startled, nodded hurriedly in agreement, and led Lu Lei out of the grand hall.

Once outside, Lu Lei couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Bao Pi, what is the Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple?"

Bao Pi replied seriously in a soft voice, "This is my master’s specialty. It seems the matter with senior sister has truly driven the old man to the point of losing his sanity,

Do you know why my title is ’Black Lung Mage’, why my senior sister’s title is Black Kidney Mage, and the titles of the three other senior brothers are Black Heart Mage, Black Liver Mage, and Black Spleen Mage?

Because we are all part of master’s specialty. Years ago, he taught each of us a cultivation technique focused on one of the five viscera, so that when he sets up the ’Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple’,

we five apprentices can assist him, making the power of the ’Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple’ even mightier, formidable enough to even make Taiyin Mage and Sun Mage wary."

Lu Lei puzzled, "But isn’t Black Kidney Mage dead now? Can the Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple still be performed?"

"We each cultivated these viscera organs, and although senior sister has passed away, her years of kidney cultivation remain, allowing the blood sacrifice to proceed without problem,

but if she’s been dead too long, there won’t be enough blood for the blood sacrifice, thus master gathers all disciples now," Bao Pi explained.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lei couldn’t help but become more curious.

Although Black Kidney Mage couldn’t kill Wang Longhu with her methods, now Xuan He Mage is stepping in.

As the Observatory Master among the Five Daoist Temples, Xuan He Mage’s power is second only to Taiping Divine Master, and Sun and Taiyin Mages.

Wang Longhu, no matter how formidable, surely cannot escape Xuan He Mage’s methods.

Soon, under Bao Pi’s summons, Xuan He Mage’s five disciples gathered in the grand hall.

One lay on the ground while the other four stood beside, silent.

"Lu Lei, is it?" Xuan He Mage held a skull with the top removed, coldly staring at Lu Lei nearby.

Being called upon, Lu Lei hurriedly stepped forward to respond: "Lu Lei from the Lu family in Hong Kong, greetings to Xuan He Mage."

"I’ve heard from Black Lung about your desire for revenge. Since Black Kidney had already agreed to your request, her death is due to her lack of skill, I don’t blame you."

Lu Lei felt relieved, fearing that Xuan He Mage might hold him responsible for Black Kidney Mage’s death.

"But because your arrival led to the death of one of my disciples, this debt must be settled, transfer one hundred million US Dollars to my account, and I’ll spare your life."

Not giving Lu Lei much joy, Xuan He Mage abruptly said.

Lu Lei dared not refuse, quickly nodding in agreement. A hundred million US Dollars is quite a sum for the Lu family.

But to preserve his life, he had no choice but to pay.

"Moreover, aren’t you seeking revenge on Wang Longhu for Lu Pingshan and your brother? Now I offer you this chance, do you want to give it a try?"

Xuan He Mage stared at Lu Lei, showing a chilling smile.

Lu Lei saw no room for refusal, and if he dared decline Xuan He Mage’s offer, it would mean the recent transfer of a hundred million US Dollars was for nothing.

"Thank you, Xuan He Mage, for giving me this opportunity, I will certainly avenge Black Kidney Mage." Lu Lei knelt on the ground, speaking firmly with his head bowed.

"Good, good." Xuan He Mage nodded in satisfaction.

Without showing any motions, the headless skull he held started sprouting numerous black worm-like creatures.

These worms were elongated, squirming continuously within the skull like maggots, unable to crawl out.

Xuan He Mage bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto them.

Suddenly the insects went into chaos, becoming entirely active, squirming at an efficiency far exceeding their prior writhing.

"Drink it." Holding out the skull to Lu Lei, Xuan He Mage said indifferently.

"What?!" Lu Lei was stunned, looking at the skull in terror, each wriggling worm challenging his stomach and nerves.

Especially with Xuan He Mage’s blood inside; who could stomach this?

"Aren’t you seeking revenge? Is the price you’re willing to pay for vengeance so trivial, that you wouldn’t dare drink even this?" Xuan He Mage questioned.

These words instantly ignited the fury within Lu Lei’s heart.

Indeed, he wanted revenge for Lu Pingshan and Lu Ting! Even at the cost of his life, his all, he must kill Wang Longhu.

It’s just a bowl of worms; what’s that?

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lu Lei accepted the skull from Xuan He Mage, raised his head, and drank it all.

A large amount of worms, along with the blood, flooded into his mouth, streaming down Lu Lei’s throat into his body.

"Ah!!!!"

In an instant, Lu Lei felt as if countless worms were gnawing at his viscera and tissues.

The pain was akin to a blade stirring within his body, utterly unbearable.

Lu Lei dropped the skull, collapsed to the ground, rolling in agony.

But within five seconds, he was bleeding from the seven orifices, eyes wide open, passing out completely, losing any ability to move.

"Start the preparation for the Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple."

Seeing this, Xuan He Mage rose in satisfaction, announcing, and Bao Pi along with four other mages immediately brought over Black Kidney Mage’s body, each took out a personal dagger, cut their palms, and began painting strange talismans with their blood on Lu Lei’s body.

Simultaneously, Bao Pi also cut Black Kidney Mage’s blood, helping paint talismans on Lu Lei as well.

"Brother Lei, truly it’s not that we aren’t helping you, with this power from the Blood Sacrifice of the Five Viscera Temple, after killing Wang Longhu and avenging your father and brother, even if you die, you should find peace in the afterlife, shouldn’t you."

Bao Pi thought silently while painting blood symbols.
