Yama Rising

Chapter 580: Aversion (3)

A pregnant lady and a child walked right past Qin Ye’s left and right, brushing past his shoulder. Their posture was distorted and twisted, and they left bloody marks on the ground wherever they passed. The long and narrow corridor looked no different from a long, dank and dark third tunnel of Pusan.

The two blood-stained faces turned to stare at Qin Ye at exactly the same time. Their heads were lined up in a row. Qin Ye could see out of the corners of his eyes that each of their seven apertures were flowing with copious amounts of dark Yin energy. Meanwhile, blood was also flowing from underneath their scarlet eyes.

Her voice was hoarse and harsh beyond belief, while her pupils appeared to be staring at various places like a chameleon, “My… husband… died…”

Just then, Qin Ye felt someone tugging at his hand, and he promptly turned around, only to notice the little girl on his other side clinging onto his hand. Blood continued to pour out of the gaping bullet hole on her forehead as she stared at Qin Ye as though from beyond the realms, “My… father… also… died…”

And then, both voices spoke in unison, “Now, we’re both dead…”

After saying these words, the two evil ghosts walked right past Qin Ye, hand-in-hand, as they traipsed along the corridor towards the captain’s room at the end.

Qin Ye didn’t say a word. He simply stared at the dark shadows on their backs as they plodded away from him. Meanwhile, the scarlet eyes peeking out of the shadows continued to stare back intently at him. He knew full well that this was the embodiment of hatred that had been festering for five long years. Anyone who stood in their way would be cut down as foe.

Their loved ones had died right before their very eyes in order to allow them to live on. Unfortunately, their path came to an abrupt end as soon as they saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

It had been 15 minutes since his mutiny. That said, with MV Sewol anchored to a place, every minute that passed would undoubtedly give rise to unpredictable changes. He was already on the verge of capturing Mukov. Who would’ve thought that he would suddenly encounter such an unexpected variable?

The two figures didn’t move too quickly, and they had only covered a distance of approximately 10 meters thus far. Qin Ye took a deep breath and called out to them, “Hey.”

That said, the scarlet eyes peeking out of the darkness did open their eyes abruptly and glare back at him.

Still no response.

This time, both mother and daughter turned their heads 180 degrees around and stared right back at Qin Ye. A split second later, their mouths split right open, revealing row after row of razor-sharp teeth stained with grisly black blood and residue as they shrieked at the top of their voices, “SSSS!!!”

“You three-in-one Yin spirits are incredibly terrifying, do you know that? The pregnant lady and the little girl are nothing but puppets, and yet the ghastly baby in her womb is actually a terrifying Yin spirit in the ranks of an Infernal Judge? What kind of Yin spirit is this? What secrets do you conceal that triggers my wariness and vigilance?”

Qin Ye slowly picked up his spear, “As expected, you want me to do all the talking, don’t you? Well, why don’t I propose approaching the discussions in a different manner…”

For instance, we can discuss using our fists!

What’s going on?

It was almost as though there were an invisible wall ahead in the corridor that was completely obstructing him.

It was simply impossible to advance!

“How is this possible?” Qin Ye gasped with astonishment. A split second later, he unleashed his Porter Spirit and commanded it to unleash its silent scream at the two figures standing some distance away.

The physical corridor around them trembled violently, and debris tumbled everywhere. However, there was a point along the corridor right before where the pregnant lady and the girl were where the sound waves would simply bounce back, almost as though it marked a completely separate domain!

In his words, “Their innate abilities confer on each of them the potential to become Yama-Kings of the Ten Palaces.”

Unfortunately, Qin Ye had never expected there to exist such a wide chasm between those with the 1% talent and those without.

Ashmound City.

Just then, he suddenly looked up and gently patted the head of the Harken.

That said, Xu Yangyi’s gaze appeared to be far and distant, almost as though he were peering through realms. After some time, he muttered a few words under his breath, “The Death of March.”

Just then, the Harken suddenly stopped, and then turned and glanced in the direction of Daehan, “Do you mean… there in Daehan?”

“Arturo’s playing with high stakes here…”

Xu Yangyi nodded, “In other words, it was created incidentally. Arturo was planning to create a serpent, yet he’d inadvertently also created a basilisk as a result of his efforts.”

He silently scratched the white fur on top of the Harken’s head, “This is an extremely rare opportunity. This would give the Third King Yanluo a better insight on what to look out for when casting myths in future.”

As he spoke, he shut his eyes, and something appeared to rise high into the sky. The Harken sighed, “Transcending the Void? Tsk tsk… isn’t he also overstepping the bounds of the Three Realms? Speaking of which, why does it feel like his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds every time I see him?”

MV Sewol, Daehan.

10 meters.

Just then, they finally arrived at the door of the captain’s cabin. With a mournful cry, the Yin energy in the vicinity rushed straight towards the door of the cabin and slammed hard against it.

Qin Ye sighed as he retracted his spear. It had already been twenty minutes since his mutiny. There was no way the enemy troops arrayed at Gonjiam Asylum would still be ignorant of the fact that something had happened along the way. The first reason why he sought to capture Mukov was to ask him about the part of the script of death he was responsible for. After all, learning was one of the main reasons why Qin Ye had come to Daehan in the first place.

Last, but not least, he wanted to seek out Richard’s hiding place. As the administrator of the MV Sewol incident, Mukov would naturally know best the structure of the vessel. Sure, Mukov might not know anything about Gonjiam Asylum, but Richard was quite different! Given his status in the Russian Underworld, he would most certainly possess some knowledge of Gonjiam Asylum!

Leave!

But just as he turned around, a golden light suddenly glowed from within his clothes.

At least, compared with the rest of the dark, billowing Yin energy in the corridor, it appeared incredibly faint.

Just like the glow of the morning dew, the appearance of the golden glow instantly dispersed all of the black fog lingering about the corridor, and the mournful, ghastly cries in the vicinity faded away. Meanwhile, the two figures standing right at the captain’s cabin suddenly turned back for the very first time.

Then, the golden outline of the hand began to move. Moments later, a Cathayan word representing the word ‘dispel’ appeared from the void.

A golden shockwave swept across the entire MV Sewol, dispersing all of the black fog at once. Qin Ye couldn’t tell how the rest of the ship looked from the outside, but he could see the golden light permeating every corner of the corridor. Meanwhile, the hair and clothes of the mother-daughter duo scattered everywhere, and then… under the warm glow of the golden light, finally revealed their human forms.

“One minute.”

“The Death of March, otherwise known as the Spirit of Avernus, is one of the top special Yin spirits in the netherworld. You will never be able to transcend this law of hers unless you possess abilities far superior to hers. Unfortunately, even I can only buy you a minute of time given the physical distance I am from you right now.”
