Chapter 2038: Aquino’s Methods
In the temple’s Buddha Hall, there was a Buddha statue that seemed quite ordinary, except that underneath, a snake was coiled, carved to life-like perfection.
Everyone here knew that this Buddha statue represented one of the Four Great Saint Kings—the Snake King.
An elder was sitting cross-legged in front of the statue, his upper body bare, and covered in dense tattoos resembling runes.
Most notably, there was a tattoo of a snake running down his spine, lifelike in appearance.
In the next moment, a large snake crawled out from the tattoo on his spine.
He was the Snake Master’s Dragon Snake Master!
In the expansive temple, aside from the Dragon Snake Master, it was completely empty.
"Creak!"
At this moment, the temple door suddenly opened, and someone walked in from outside.
It was Aquino!
"Hmm? It’s you? Once a subordinate of the Ghost King. Haven’t you always been in hiding? Why would you show yourself now?"
The Dragon Snake Master questioned, even the python coiled beneath him kept a watchful eye on Aquino.
Aquino revealed a strange smile: "That’s right. But I’ve appeared today for a simple reason, I want you to submit! The Snake King, Buddha King, and others must all submit to me!"
"Such arrogance! Even the remnants of the Ghost King dare act so brazenly here?"
The Dragon Snake Master immediately expressed his discontent.
"Haha, if the Snake King were here, I would have left immediately. But he’s not! Moreover, I’m about to revive the Ghost King and Buddha King, then who would be my match?"
Aquino laughed wildly.
"I’ve heard of a bizarre resurrection technique from the Ghost King’s lineage, no, you don’t intend to resurrect them, are you planning to devour both the Buddha King and the Ghost King at once?"
The Dragon Snake Master’s expression changed dramatically, looking at him incredulously.
"Yes! You’re very clever! That’s exactly it!"
Aquino laughed.
"Hahaha, what a joke. Just you? You think you can accomplish all this? The Peacock King is still alive, can you control him?"
The Dragon Snake Master sneered coldly.
"I’ll deal with him last. By that time, I will be the strongest, finding the Peacock King will just be adding power to my strength!"
Aquino sneered.
"First, let’s see if you have the ability?"
The Dragon Snake Master sneered.
"Hiss!"
The holy snake beneath him suddenly attacked, sweeping towards Aquino like an enraged dragon.
Aquino sneered, and suddenly there was a tremor underground.
Two mysterious forces burst out from the ground, flanking the holy snake from the left and right, strangling it, and causing it to explode in a bloody mist.
"Poof!"
The moment the holy snake exploded, the Dragon Snake Master was also severely injured.
After all, the disciples of the Snake King have a holy snake nurtured inside them from a young age, intertwined with the Dragon Snake Master, sharing honor and disgrace.
"Die!"
The two ground forces crushed the Dragon Snake Master.
Subsequently, Aquino approached the Snake King’s Buddha statue and chanted a strange incantation, seemingly absorbing the mysterious power within the statue.
After this, similar occurrences took place in many Snake King Temples throughout Chiang Mai.
Within almost a day, the entire Snake King’s lineage was exterminated.
Soon after, Ye Chenfeng and his companions arrived in Chiang Mai.
"How are we going to find Aquino?"
Danzeng Gama asked curiously.
"We don’t need to find him, he’ll come to us!"
Ye Chenfeng smiled, not concealing his aura, but rather releasing it.
In a star-rated hotel, Ye Chenfeng was soaking in a hot spring.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips: "Since you’re here, why hide? No need to skulk around!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Ye, we meet again."
Aquino appeared nearby.
Now, he had transformed from a skeletal creature into a young man, handsome with sharp brows, his voice magnetic, entirely different from the voice that frightened children before.
It could even be said that this was another person, not Aquino at all.
"Did you go to the Southern Dynasty Country for cosmetic surgery?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
"Mr. Ye, you sure know how to joke. Let me get straight to the point, today I’ve come to reclaim something that belongs to me!"
Aquino went straight to the point.
"Oh? What might that be?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
"You!"
Aquino’s gaze was fixed on Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng’s smile deepened: "Brother, can’t you big guys avoid being so gross?"
"Oh Forbidden God King, you don’t have to pretend, you know exactly what’s going on."
Aquino’s expression suddenly changed, cold gleams flashing in his eyes.
"Alright, if you’ve got the skills, come and take it yourself!"
Ye Chenfeng replied coldly from the hot spring.
"Dare you come with me to a place?"
Aquino asked with a smile, as if he already knew the outcome.
"Why should I? Am I an idiot?"
Ye Chenfeng retorted.
"Are you scared? Afraid you’re not my match?"
Aquino smiled slightly, provoking Ye Chenfeng.
"Idiot!"
As soon as the words fell, steam surged in the hot spring, water droplets floated in the air, transforming into bullets shooting rapidly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The droplets held immense power, forcibly pushing Aquino back.
When Aquino came to a stop, he was already riddled with holes.
"Since that’s the case, Forbidden God King, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Aquino’s eyes flashed with a bloody murderous intent, his expression changing drastically with rising rage.
"Rumble..."
Immediately, the ground in this area started trembling, not only that, the entire Chiang Mai was shaken as if hit by an earthquake.
It was as if some monster was about to break through underground, ready to obliterate the land.
In an instant, the star-rated hotel seemed on the verge of collapse.
Yet at this moment, a cold gleam flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, the hotel’s foundation became heavier than thousands of pounds, firm as a mountain.
The ground forces were firmly suppressed, and Aquino’s expression changed drastically.
"Young man, could you really be foolish enough to think you could control me?"
Ye Chenfeng sneered.
"Then let’s see!"
Aquino used a secret technique, his hands glowing, channeling the ground forces.
"Did you choose the Soul Hiding Clan’s location to harness the ground forces beneath?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
"To harness my force of yin and yang minerals, I’ve been hiding for over ten years. All for this moment!"
Aquino gradually descended into madness.
Between his hands, two forces transformed into tangible streams of energy, with lightning swirling around them, exuding a terrifying power.
The mysterious force from the depths of the earth was gradually being channeled by Aquino, a defiant force capable of angering heaven and earth.
"It’s useless, still too weak!"
Ye Chenfeng shook his head.
"It’s only just begun!"
Aquino shouted coldly.
Meanwhile, within the Soul Hiding Clan, a massive formation started. On the mountain top, blood flowed through grooves, converging into the mountain’s depths.
Inside the mountain, there were two stone beds, upon which lay two corpses.
They were the Buddha King and Ghost King.
Blood flowed down from the mountain top grooves, gathering in the ground formation grooves, rapidly diverting.
