Chapter 253 - Resurrection

Beside the Naihe Bridge, on the bank of the Forgetting River.

“Hey, you’re… too fast!”

A figure in the distance rushed to Wang Bugui instantly, gasping.

“Brock?! Why are you in the netherworld?” Wang Bugui was surprised.

Theoretically, Azrael managed the life and death of the west. Since the east had the netherworld, it must be managed by the god of the east. Then, why would Brock come here?

“Why do you think I can’t come to the netherworld? You know, we work in the same business area. I’m here to visit them!” Brock grinned.

“You form a phantom to come here. Aren’t you afraid of being kicked out?”

Just then, the Granny Meng stepped forward.

Brock covered his mouth and laughed, “Don’t do that. I’m here to discuss his affairs with you.”

“Since a dead man comes to the netherworld, he’ll be under the management of the netherworld. What does it have to do with you?” The Granny Meng said slowly.

“Don’t regard me as an outsider. We’ve seen each other thousands of years ago.” Brock actually communicated with her in fluent Chinese.

“I just do what I should do. What do you want to say?” The Granny Meng was still calm.

In the face of her, Brock seemed to have no way. He directly went to the point, “I’m here to take this man. As for the reason, look at the pendant around his neck.”

Finishing speaking, he pointed at Wang Bugui’s neck, took off the small pendant, and sent it to the Granny Meng.

“This is!”

The Granny Meng recognized it at first glance. Her beautiful eyes, which hadn’t been moved for thousands of years, were now startled. She put her eyes on the young man beside her.

“What’s wrong?” Wang Bugui frowned.

He knew this small pendant was with strong background, but never thought that even the Granny Meng would recognize it.

But the Granny Meng ignored him and turned to Brock, asking with a frown, “Is he really the one selected?”

“You should be clearer than me. This thing has accompanied him for a long time and helped him a lot. Anyway, I’m sure it’s him,” Brock laughed.

“Since he’s the one selected, why would he commit suicide?” The Granny Meng asked again.

“You know that, he died for love. The detailed process is that his beloved was coerced, and if he didn’t commit suicide, his beloved would die,” Brock shrugged and answered.

“But his cultivation base has been destroyed. Even if you take him away, can he fulfill that mission?” The Granny Meng asked once again.

Brock shook his head and asked back with a slight smile, “Aren’t you clear what kind of monsters the selected people are?”

“Anyway, I believe Wang Bugui can take on this task. Trust my instincts.”

The Granny Meng didn’t reply, but just looked up and down at the person beside her, as if she wanted to see some clues. She was trying to find something in her mind sea.

A moment later, she finally remembered and cried, “It was you! You’re the person who reincarnated here thousands of years ago!”

“You know my previous life?!” Wang Bugui was also shocked.

He already knew that he had a previous life. Since the Granny Meng had seen himself, maybe the mystery of his previous life could be solved.

“It turns out you were reborn so late. So you should meet her again. Is this… the doomed fate, or a life you can’t escape?” the Granny Meng sighed.

Her eyes drifted away. Thinking about the pendant, she felt more difficult to calm down the ups and downs in her heart.

“Senior, do you know my previous life? Please tell me!” Wang Bugui asked with a hold fist salute.

“No, the past and the present can’t be mixed. If you want to know your past life, you need to rely on yourself. I can’t impose interference. This is the inviolable ordinance.”

Resolute, the Granny Meng refused to disclose the news.

“This…” Wang Bugui dropped his hand.

How strong was the will of heaven? He had learned it himself. The higher the realm, the more worried they were. If they offended, they would definitely suffer. Although eager to know, he couldn’t harm others.

“Well, don’t delay here. I can’t hold it for too long. Quickly resurrect and come back with me.” Brock appeared between them, forcibly interrupting their conversation.

“But how do you plan to resurrect him? This person is not on your death list. With that pendant, it is even less likely to be on the book of life and death,” asked the Granny Meng.

Brock replied with a smile, “Relying on the pendant. If I remember correctly, there is a supreme divine skill recorded in it. It should be used once again.”

Then, he stretched out his hand to explore the pendant. After a while, he laughed and said, “You’re lucky, boy. Although your spiritual strength is not enough, the Tao Law still remains. It’s almost gone.”

“Meng, your interpretation is faster than me. You cast a spell, and I’ll convert my magic into spiritual power to help you!”

“Don’t call me Meng!”

With disgust on her face, the Granny Meng still took the small pendant in her hand and then quickly checked how to cast the spell. In a few breaths, she began to cast.

Ancient and mysterious incantations were constantly coming out. Brock injected spiritual power behind her, and even borrowed some of the magic from his real body, which made him be hit heavily by the catastrophe outside.

With the development of the Tao Law, various wills of Taoism began to appear around, and the wind and cloud changed between heaven and earth. Countless higan bana petals were brought up by the wind, but then disappeared together with wills in a flash.

The wind stopped suddenly, and the rain of petals fell all over the sky. It could be clearly seen that those wills of Taoism had turned into pure energy, rushing into Wang Bugui’s body crazily.

“Buzz!”

After a moment, everything was calm. Wang Bugui released bright lights all over the body, and his injuries were completely healed along with the lights.

Then he felt an aura in his body. It was its appearance that made Wang Bugui feel he was alive again, which was the spirit of life.

And his soul also emitted golden lights gradually, which was the lights unique to primordial spirit.

“It’s done. Amazing!”

Brock couldn’t help sighing. Even he was amazed by the magic. Wang Bugui’s primordial spirit was almost gone, but it could restore it to its original state.

“The power of my primordial spirit…” Wang Bugui said to himself.

He felt that his soul had strengthened a lot, and all the power of his primordial spirit had restored, even a little stronger.

“Good, let’s get back to the outside world quickly. I can’t hold on anymore,” urged Brock.

Then he cast a spell to transmit Wang Bugui to the outside world, turned around and said goodbye to the Granny Meng, “Thank you for your help. But can you tell me his identity?”

“He doesn’t belong to this world. To be precise, he doesn’t belong to this plane. He used to be a big shot. After all, when he came to me, he alarmed many people.”

“He once drank the forgetting water, and let us resurrect the woman’s primordial spirit. He said he would find her in the next life. Is it doomed by heaven that he really finds her out?”

Looking at the direction where Wang Bugui disappeared, the Granny Meng couldn’t help shaking her head.

“That’s it. It turns out he comes across from another plane. But why?” Brock asked to himself, holding his chin.

But he didn’t think too much about it. After saying goodbye to the Granny Meng, he left the netherworld.

“Whiz!”

Outside, the terrifying thunders in the sky finally retreated. Brock had been slashed with blood. He made a sigh of relief after the thunderclouds dissipated.

Putting on a happy face, he sighed, “Hiss, it’s really scary! It’s too suffering. I won’t do such a thing against heaven next time.”

“Uh-huh, what the hell… has happened?”

Jonathan’s face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he crouched on the ground with his head in his arms. Beside him, Adolf was not much better. He knelt down on the ground and dared not move.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a golden light emerged and went straight into the body of Wang Bugui, letting him dazzle with golden lights, like a god in heaven.

“Rumble!”

Then the golden lights brightened, illuminating this dark world.

“Cra-crack!”

Then there seemed to be the sound of glass breaking in this space, and space, where Wang Bugui stood, was cracked continuously. Within a moment, the cracks covered ten square meters around him.

“Crack!”

In the end, the place he stood was as fragmented as a mirror. Countless space lenses fell, but the other space was not broken.

Instead, a figure stood up. He shook hands lightly. He still couldn’t believe that he really came back alive.

But the air here, the spiritual power here, and the various senses of the human body told him that it was true. He was resurrected!

“What?!” Adolf’s eyes were about to fall to the ground.

“No, it’s impossible! He’s dead. I personally confirmed that. It’s impossible for him to resurrect!” Jonathan growled.

Seeing the resurrection of a man who was dead, he went insane. In addition to the pressure of Azrael which hadn’t been removed and being hypnotized by magic, his spirit began to collapse.

“God, we were so carefully prepared, but we still didn’t kill him!” Adolf cried to the sky.

He thought his plan was almost seamless, but it was completely defeated by these uncertain factors.

“Hehe, I said I wouldn’t do it myself. Now, it’s him.”

Brock sneered and took away the Forbidden Book from Adolf. Then, he spelled another magic to smash the Longinus in Jonathan’s hand completely.

“Ugh!”

Losing their defense, the pain of the two’s injuries doubled again. They kept retreating, intending to run, but failed. They could only see Wang Bugui walking over step by step.

“Go to Hell!”

With a shout, Wang Bugui rushed to them with his physical strength in a moment and waved down a one-hundred-thousand-pound fist. Adolf had already opened his mouth, intending to beg for mercy.

But before he could speak it out, he was headshot with a punch. Then the punch went all the way down, turning him into a puddle of meat on the cracked ground.

Then, Wang Bugui glared at Jonathan and said, “As for your death, it depends only on your crime!”

“Brock, I have no cultivation base now. Can you help me check if he’s under control?” Wang Bugui turned his head and asked.

“He’s indeed controlled, deeply hypnotized. His perception of all people in this world is completely subverted,” Brock shrugged and said.

Wang Bugui made a short sigh after hearing the words, “Then, he can keep his body.”

“Actually, he’s also very wronged. He was manipulated without knowing it. And there’s only one faith in his heart, to eradicate evils. So, Adolf controlled him and turned you into evil people in his memory.”

Brock passed on Jonathan’s situations one by one, looking forward to what kind of answer Wang Bugui would give.

“If he only targeted me, he would be saved from death. But he has hurt Chiou, so he must die!” Wang Bugui said coldly.

Hanae Chiou was his inverse scale. Whoever touched it must be killed by him.

“Well, in fact, even if you don’t kill him, he’s dying too. His soul has been tortured by me and almost gone, and his blood is almost drained,” Brock shook his head and smiled.

Hearing that, Wang Bugui nodded slowly, walked to Jonathan, raised his right fist, and smashed it down.

“Puff!”

Hot blood spilled on Wang Bugui’s face. His fist went straight through Jonathan’s heart and body.

“Uh, who am I?” Jonathan asked weakly.

In the last moment of his life, he returned to normal.

“You’re the head of the Dragon Slaughter Knights, a heroic Paladin,” Wang Bugui said slowly against his face.

“But why did I want to kill you?” Jonathan’s expression began to dim.

“You’re controlled. But in the end, you killed an Infante of the vampires. But you’re also dying. I don’t want you to die in the hands of the evils, so I helped you,” Wang Bugui said again.

Hearing that, Jonathan widened his eyes slightly with a few lights in it. He put on a happy face, asking “Re-really? I… I finally eliminated an evil?”

“Yes, you carried out the oath of the Paladin until the end,” Wang Bugui nodded.

He then withdrew his hand from the other side and watched him quietly.

“Thump.”

Jonathan was unable to stand and fell on his back. There was a horrible blood hole in his chest, from which his blood flowed out.

He quietly solidified the dark sky above and slowly smiled, “I, didn’t violate… the knight’s oath… to bravely… fight against ev-…”

But before he could finish the last word, he had closed his eyes, out of energy. His head slightly tilting to the left, he died forever.

“Anyway, you’re a fair and heroic Paladin.”

Wang Bugui paid homage to his body, picked him up and left here.

“Why didn’t you take my soul?” Wang Bugui asked suddenly on the way.

“I like to watch plays. You two are my hero and heroine. You can’t die so quickly. Hurry back to do things. I want to watch a drag show!” Brock grinned.

“I don’t think it’s so simple that you like to watch plays. You should have other purposes, right? Especially, you know my pendant. Tell me the secret.”

Wang Bugui suddenly paused and turned to Brock. His eyes seemed to see through the heart of Azrael.

“Uh…”

Brock took a step back, covering his mouth, and then slammed his left palm with his right fist, saying, “I suddenly remember that I was going to the beach for a holiday, but was summoned by you.”

“Now, it’s time for me to go. Go back by yourself. Bye!”

Then, he put on a pair of beach pants, a summer shirt on his upper body, a pair of sandals, and a pair of sunglasses even at night, with a coconut in his left hand.

He even plugged in a straw to drink coconut juice. He turned around, about to leave.

“Hey! Don’t pretend. It won’t be long before it snows here! And are you still going to surf in the sun? Make it clear!” Wang Bugui was anxious.

“Sunshine! Beach! Giant waves! Bikini! I’m here~~!”

But Brock ignored him and bounced away.

“You! Anyway, you should send me back!” Wang Bugui shouted at the rear.

“Your physical strength hasn’t disappeared yet. Don’t hurry, you can run back.” Finishing speaking, Brock disappeared without turning his head around.

“That’s a dozen kilometers to go!”

Wang Bugui gritted his teeth. But he still cleared up his mood, turned into the running king again, ran back all the way, reviewing the days when he went to the Kunlun Mountain.

“Boss hasn’t returned yet!”

“I wonder what’s going on!”

“I wish he’s alright.”

Outside the Sanctuary, everyone was looking around with a sad face.

“Whiz!”

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke aroused in the distance. People watched it, finding that someone was coming.

“Boss!”

Zhao Changge shouted. He found it was Wang Bugui. He immediately took a group of brothers and sisters to walk over.

“What’s going on, boss?” Lyu Hao asked.

“It’s sure that Sister Chiou has been rescued!” Zhao Changge grinned.

But Leng Yueyan found the clues at the first instant. She cried, covering her mouth, “Boss, why is your cultivation base gone?”

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard that. They looked closely at Wang Bugui, and found that his cultivation base was really gone.

“Don’t worry. Just consider it as I breaking my cultivation base and then restoring it! I can certainly recover. Man will conquer nature!” Wang Bugui forced a smile.

“What the hell happened to you?” Feng Tianming asked with a frown.

“Scan my mind sea directly,” said Wang Bugui, pointing at his head.

Without saying a word, the crowd directly released their spirit minds and searched Wang Bugui’s mind sea, taking a panoramic view of what happened before. As for those who couldn’t use spirit mind, Leng Yueyan would pass what happened into their memories.

“I didn’t expect it to be so difficult!” Leng Yueyan frowned.

“How dare he treat Sister Chiou like this?!” Lyu Hao yelled. Even if he knew Jonathan was being manipulated and he was already dead, he couldn’t suppress his anger.

“I didn’t expect this trip to be so dangerous. Boss was actually killed. Fortunately, Azrael helped you, boss.” Chu He also frowned.

Ning Zhe also nodded, saying, “It’s almost impossible for you to come back. If you step into the Forgetting River, you really can’t be resurrected. But the last divine skill is so powerful. It actually needs the Granny Meng and Azrael together to activate.”

“And it can resurrect boss. Although your cultivation base is gone, your primordial spirit and body are still so strong. In my eyes, your cultivation base is not gone, but just sealed.”

This speech forced everyone to nod and ponder. After all, Wang Bugui’s primordial spirit and body were both completely restored. If his cultivation base was gone, so should his primordial spirit be.

“I don’t know if my cultivation base has been renovated. But anyway, there are always ways out among the three thousand Taoism,” Wang Bugui laughed.

Then, he walked towards the Sanctuary. Along the way, the Paladins all gave way to him. They admired this man from the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time, people noticed that Jonathan’s cold body was carried in his hand. Keeping a straight face, Wang Bugui walked to Druid.

“How did he die in the end?” Druid asked with a sad look on his face.

Thinking for a while, Wang Bugui said to everyone, “Jonathan, the head of the Dragon Slaughter Knights! Although controlled by the Infante, he finally sobered with perseverance!”

“He assisted me in killing the Infante and died heroically! He’s a qualified Paladin. He’s the bravest! The fairest! I hope you guys remember him, the heroic Jonathan!”

Without any Tao Law, but his voice rang through the sky and into the hearts of all Paladins. All the Paladins of the Sanctuary came out and gathered.

After he finished speaking, he put Jonathan’s body down. With tears in their eyes, members of the Dragon Slaughter Knights shivered to take over the familiar body.

“Thank you for bringing our head back!”

All members of the Dragon Slaughter Knights knelt down to salute to Wang Bugui. They knew that their head had been under control, and had hurt these people as well as other knights.

But Wang Bugui ignored what he did and brought back his body.

Though they didn’t know whether Jonathan was awake or whether he died in the hands of Wang Bugui, since the other side cleared the Sanctuary’s misunderstanding toward Jonathan after his death, and gave him such a good reputation, in any case, he deserved their respect.

Wang Bugui shook his head and said, “You don’t need to do this to me. You should kneel him. You should remember his bravery, justice, and fearlessness, and carry those out in your lives!”

“We’ll definitely carry them out!”

All the members of the Dragon Slaughter Knights responded firmly. Seeing that, Wang Bugui nodded and then turned away.

“Thank you, my king!”

The Paladins who followed him also bowed to thank him at this moment. They had personally experienced Jonathan’s story, knowing that Wang Bugui was cleaning his stain, which was extremely admirable.

They were also conveyed that terrible memory, knowing how generous Wang Bugui was to make such a decision.

“Go back and take a good rest.”

Wang Bugui asked the people to get up, and then took them to the Blood Hunter Manor. The evening party went on as usual, and it didn’t end until two o’clock in the morning.

The manor couldn’t accommodate the Paladins. So, Leng Yueyan cast a spell to build houses inside and outside the manor to accommodate these hundreds of people.

In the Black Tower, Clara put the Forbidden Book back to its prison, and then turned around with a frown.

“Don’t look at me. It’s already good to get the book back. Don’t you know, there are still a few Infantes on the road who want to get it. If it weren’t for me, your book wouldn’t come back.”

Beside her, Brock laughed.

“Then what was going on with him?” Clara asked.

“Well, I just talk to you only. The story went like this…”

Brock stuck to Clara’s ears, and explained Wang Bugui’s situation to her. But no one knew what he had said.
