Chapter 1170: Ten Deaths and No Life
Ten Deaths and No Life
The black Audi slowly stopped at the edge of the mountain road.
"Up ahead is Wushan Town. Let's switch drivers," Sun Bumian said after getting out of the car, looking at the town at the foot of the mountain not far away.
Chen Ling originally planned to slack off and continue riding in the car, but Sun Bumian still pulled him down. Only one driver and the groom in the back seat were left in the car, while everyone else walked alongside both sides of the vehicle.
Although there was only one car, the few boys dressed in suits and leather shoes marched proudly with their heads held high, escorting the vehicle. Coupled with the Audi's hazard lights turned on, it did somewhat resemble a genuine wedding procession.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the small town, the crowd clearly became excited, chattering and discussing along the way. Only Big Head held the steering wheel with both hands, driving the car forward little by little with an extremely nervous expression.
"Do you know the route to escort the bride?" Sun Bumian knocked on the car window.
"I roughly know it... After entering the town, it's just around the corner."
"Alright." Sun Bumian turned his head to look back at Pao Ge, who was equally nervous to the point of his palms sweating, and grinned,
"Nervous?""A... a little..."
"It's normal to be a bit nervous now. When you see the bride later, you can't show timidity, you have to be generous and dignified!"
"I'll try my best..."
Chen Ling walked at the very front. Hearing the lively sounds from behind, he didn't have much reaction, merely strolling forward at a slow pace on his own.
He wasn't interested in any bride-escorting or performances, but Sun Bumian seemed to really enjoy this atmosphere. Ever since coming to escort the bride, he had become particularly talkative and exceptionally cheerful...
Moreover, it was unknown if it was Chen Ling's misconception, but Sun Bumian's Spiritual Power, which was already at Peak Seventh-Tier, was unexpectedly continuously growing during this process. It was as if, in the unseen world, some kind of power was nourishing his soul.
It seemed as if he was born for these kinds of things.
Sun Bumian, holding the Awakened Lion Head-dress, was just about to quicken his pace and step forward after chatting with the few boys. Right at this moment, an inexplicable sensation flashed across his heart!
His entire person abruptly froze in place.
He took off the Round Sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. Within his pupils nested with rings, the outline of Wushan Town ahead was clearly reflected... At the same time, streaks of golden or black energy began to spread in his field of vision.
Fortune-Misfortune Divination.
Fortune and misfortune had nowhere to hide before Sun Bumian's eyes. But in truth, in Sun Bumian's eyes right now, he couldn't see a single trace of gold.
Continuous dreary rain fell from between the clouds. Calamitous energy as pitch-black as ink surged out from beneath the earth like monstrous flames, enveloping the entire town within and burning furiously!
Houses scattered at varying heights, vehicles shuttling on the roads, pedestrians coming and going inside and outside the shops... As far as the eye could see, a surge of pitch-black calamitous energy permeated everyone's bodies. It was like being in purgatory, roasting all existence within this town.
"This is..."
Although his memory wasn't very clear anymore, Sun Bumian vaguely remembered seeing this kind of scene before... This kind of berserk calamitous energy usually heralded an extreme catastrophe. Ancient vicious armies massacring cities, raging floods, catastrophic earthquakes—whenever such omens appeared, almost no one could survive.
That was Great Inauspiciousness among Great Inauspiciousness; it was a desperate situation of Ten Deaths and No Life!
Sun Bumian only felt his scalp go numb. The instinct originating from his Auspicious Omen constantly warned his body, telling him to get as far away from here as possible. Otherwise, even he would be dragged into it.
"Pao Ge! Why aren't you talking anymore!"
"I... I'm thinking about what I should say to Xiaoyu later..."
"Do you even need to think about that?! Just pick her up and go! You do pull-ups every day, this level of intensity shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"What do you mean pick her up and go, are you acting like a human trafficker here? The way I see it, you really need to think of a few good lines. After all, there's only this one chance, you gotta leave her with a moving impression."
"Then... then what do people normally say?"
"Pao Ge, don't worry. I'll message my childhood friend and ask what girls love to hear at a time like this..."
"Right, right, right, I'll also message my Mom and ask!"
"???"
"Hey, why did Big Brother stop walking?"
The few boys had walked quite far before they noticed Sun Bumian was still standing blankly in place. They all smiled and waved at him, signaling him to hurry up and catch up.
The wedding procession fleet slowly moved forward.
The pitch-black calamitous and baleful energy was like tentacles extending from the sea of flames in the town. The boys, who hadn't yet arrived in Wushan Town, had already been dyed with a faint layer of death intent...
Sun Bumian looked at this scene and fell into silence.
Sun Bumian didn't know what was going to happen to this town. But undoubtedly, as they approached the town, they were also walking towards the abyss little by little.
"Wait a minute." Sun Bumian slapped his forehead. "I did a calculation, and these two days are bad dates, unsuited for escorting a bride... How about this: I'll refund the gold to you guys, and then you can come back on an auspicious day? Escorting a bride, there's no rush for it to be today..."
Sun Bumian's sudden words made the boys somewhat confused. They exchanged glances, and Pao Ge spoke without hesitation:
"Big Brother, we're already here, we won't go back... Today, I absolutely must pick up Xiaoyu."
"Yeah, we went through a lot of trouble to get here. There's no reason to back down now..."
"I checked the almanac before leaving the house. Today is auspicious for receiving and escorting a bride. How could it be a bad day?"
"Big Brother, did you make a mistake?"
The boys were somewhat anxious, speaking up one after another. Seeing them getting closer and closer to the town's perimeter, Sun Bumian hesitated to speak, his expression visibly anxious...
Just as he was about to say something else, his peripheral vision swept to the front, and his footsteps paused slightly.
At the very front of the vehicle, the figure in the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe who had been walking alone the whole time had, at some unknown point, already stepped into the furiously burning sea of flames of Great "Inauspiciousness"!
Chen Ling wasn't Sun Bumian; he couldn't perceive the changes in the energies of Auspiciousness and Calamity. As he inadvertently stepped into it, that furiously burning black sea of flames seemed to be forcibly torn open by a corner. A faint golden color intertwined beside Chen Ling, extending into the town little by little...
The certain-death calamitous energy shrouding the entire town actually showed a sliver of vitality with Chen Ling's entry into the game?
Sun Bumian was stunned. One must know that this level of calamitous energy was no longer something that could be easily reversed. He, a Peak Seventh-Tier God Path of the Actor, couldn't do it. Why could Chen Ling?
Seemingly sensing the burning gaze behind him, the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe slowly stopped amidst the black sea of calamitous energy and turned his head to look behind.
"What are you standing there for?"
Chen Ling was somewhat displeased. "If you drag this on any longer, the rain is going to get heavy soon."
Beneath the gloomy sky, almost everyone's gazes looked towards Sun Bumian...
Within Sun Bumian's pupils, the expectant gazes of the suit-clad boys and Chen Ling, who was lingering with a trace of golden light, were reflected. A moment later, he silently clenched the small golden dog in his pocket tightly.
"Forget it... Receiving money to do a job is entirely justified." Sun Bumian sighed. He slowly put on the Awakened Lion Head-dress in his hand, and an inexplicable divine charm flowed out from the Awakened Lion's pupils!
"Start the drums... Lead the way!!"
