Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

The kindling, drenched in kerosene, quickly burst into roaring flames.

A Duo and Huo Mei were constantly coughing from the smoke.

Seeing that the two women were about to be engulfed by the flames, Su Chen and the Big Landlord exchanged a glance: one dashed toward A Duo, the other toward Huo Mei.

Su Chen rescued A Duo, while the Big Landlord saved Huo Mei.

"The demon has possessed her! Quick, kill the demon, or our Yangquan Village will suffer the curse of the Yin God!" the Ghost Master pointed at the Big Landlord and shouted loudly.

"Don't believe their words, everyone. They are not the real Ghost Masters; they are the true demons! A Nian, A Jiao, tell everyone what happened to you!" the Big Landlord said to A Nian and A Jiao.

Upon seeing the Ghost Master, the two women who had been rescued immediately began to tremble violently, unable to utter a word.

During their imprisonment of several months, the Ghost Master and Gui Tian had left a deep, horrifying imprint in their hearts; now they dared not point their fingers at the Ghost Master.

"A Nian, A Jiao, speak up!" the Big Landlord urged anxiously.

But the tongues of the two women were tied, as if they couldn't say a word.

"Mu Yanran, what else do you have to say now? You barged into the Yin God Temple, killed the Ghost Master, your crime is heinous!"

"What? She actually killed the Ghost Master?" The villagers of the Zhuang Clan were terrified.

"Think about it, if she were not a demon, how could she possibly have killed the Ghost Master?"

"Her actions have enraged the Yin God. If we don't kill her, the Yin God will send down divine punishment to destroy Yangquan Village!"

The Ghost Master kept inciting the villagers.

The villagers seemed to have believed the words of the Ghost Master, and one by one they drew the daggers they carried and surrounded the Big Landlord.

"Nonsense!" Just as the villagers were about to make their move,

An angry roar resounded.

Su Chen, with a grim expression, pointed at a villager and said, "You call the Big Landlord a demon, then I ask you, A Tuo, when you were chased by a yak the year before last, wasn't it the Big Landlord who saved you? Otherwise, you would have been trampled to death by the maddened yak!"

After that, he looked at another villager, "A Qiang, last year when your wife was in difficult labor, if weren't for the Big Landlord, I'm afraid it would have ended with two lives lost!"

"And A Gui, your child got lost in the mountains, wasn't it the Big Landlord who led people to search the mountains for three days and nights before finding your child and bringing them back!"

"And more..."

Su Chen pointed at one villager after another, questioning loudly.

Of course, all of this was told to him by A Duo.

The villagers were chastened by Su Chen's words, one by one they lowered their heads.

Because what Su Chen said was right, the Big Landlord had indeed helped them a lot.

Almost every household here had received the benevolence of the Big Landlord.

"The Big Landlord provides you with free medical care; if she is a demon, then what have these so-called Ghost Masters and Great Yin Masters done for you, aside from ceaselessly demanding that you sacrifice living people?"

Su Chen said coldly.

Su Chen's words finally made the villagers change their expression.

Believing in the Yin God was a tradition of the Zhuang Clan.

As for why they believed in the Yin God. Find this chapter's source on MV-LEM-PYR.

They actually didn't know.

Looking at it this way.

Indeed, it seemed that the Great Yin Master hadn't brought any benefits to the village.

Instead, it was the Big Landlord who had helped them out a lot.

Just as the villagers were about to be persuaded, a Ghost Master immediately said, "What you're talking about is the Big Landlord of the past. The current Big Landlord has been possessed by a demon; if we don't kill her, you will all suffer the curse!"

"That's right, if it weren't for the blessing of the Yin God, how could our village enjoy good weather and bumper crops year after year?"

"Have you all forgotten? Last time, A Liang, just because he offended the Yin God, he was cast into Hell by the Yin God, right?"

Other Ghost Masters echoed along.

A Liang!

Hearing the name A Liang mentioned by the Ghost Master, a look of fear couldn't help but appear on the villagers' faces.

A Liang was originally an extremely simple and honest man of the Zhuang Clan.

On any ordinary day, he would never dare challenge the authority of the Great Yin Master.

But that time, the Great Yin Master demanded his wife to be used as a sacrificial offering.

A-Liang pursued all the way to the Yin God Temple.

However, once he entered the Yin God Temple, he never came out again.

By the time the Zhuang villagers arrived at the Yin God Temple, A-Liang had become a man drenched in blood, with his skin nowhere to be seen, looking unbearably horrific.

According to the Ghost Master, A-Liang was beaten by the Yin God and cast into Hell, never to be reborn.

The Zhuang villagers, who were originally persuaded, began to waver in their thoughts once again.

Su Chen almost laughed out of anger.

Clearly, the so-called A-Liang being cast into Hell must have been the doing of that little ghost.

The little ghost killed the villagers, and yet these ignorant Zhuang villagers still held unwavering belief in it.

It seemed that the villagers' faith in the Yin God was deeply rooted and impossible to change easily.

Whoosh!

Just then, an arrow shot toward the Big Landlord.

Su Chen furrowed his brow and caught the arrow in his hand.

The arrowhead was only a few centimeters away from the Big Landlord's brow.

Had he not caught it, the Big Landlord would have certainly been struck.

Actually, with the strength of the Big Landlord, she could have dodged it if she had been prepared.

But at that moment, she had no expectation that someone would strike her.

Su Chen's gaze turned icy, and he violently threw the arrow in his hand.

Thwack!

The arrow immediately penetrated the chest of a Ghost Master.

"Ah, he, he killed a Ghost Master, quick, kill this demon!" the other two Ghost Masters screamed in terror as they backed into the crowd and shouted.

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

With someone leading the attack, the Zhuang villagers became agitated and joined in.

Su Chen knitted his brows tightly.

There were easily hundreds of Zhuang villagers surrounding them, holding sharp Daggers and bows, enclosing them in a tight circle.

Breaking out of the encirclement wouldn't be difficult.

But these Zhuang villagers were merely misled by the Ghost Master.

He couldn't really bring himself to harm these villagers.

However, his hesitation did not mean the villagers would show him the same restraint.

Daggers and Arrows were all being directed at him and the Big Landlord.

On top of that, he had to protect Huo Mei and A-Duo.

It was quite straining.

Especially since the Big Landlord had been wounded before, although he had healed her, she couldn't possibly have recovered to her full strength so quickly.

This made Su Chen extremely anxious.

However, the Big Landlord was also a Transcendent fighter, so she shouldn't have any problems in the short term.

At that moment, a seven or eight-year-old child somehow entered the crowd and was wailing loudly, scared by the terrifying scene.

A seven or eight-year-old child couldn't even withstand a bump, let alone a slash from a knife.

The Big Landlord's face darkened as she rushed toward the child.

Then, she scooped the child up in her arms.

But because of this action, her speed slowed down.

Thwack!

She took a knife to the back.

"Don't, don't harm the child!" Regardless of the pain coming from her back, the Big Landlord yelled at the Zhuang villagers attacking her frantically.
