[No Clichés] [No System] [No Brain-Dead Decisions] [Character Growth] [Fresh Premise]
He was once a spirit conceived by Heaven and Earth, but became bait in a mass grave.
As his adoptive father lay dying, he shoved a jade pendant engraved with the Pig symbol into his hand. "Run! The evil spirits have tampered with causality!"
Chen Zhu looked back and saw "himself" holding the village chief's heart, smiling.
Overnight, he became a fugitive burdened with several bloody crimes. Even worse, he discovered that the Twelve Sacred Beasts were being refined into weapons for slaughtering all living beings!
Only by killing the Sacred Beasts and seizing their runes could he briefly control their rampaging power:
■ With the Rat Rune inside him, he could turn into a shadow and burrow through the earth, commanding an army of rats!
■ When the Pig Rune awakened, his only friend transformed into a man-eating monster beneath the moon!
■ And from deep within every rune came the anguished cries of his adoptive father's lingering soul!
As he raised a bull-horn dagger to stab his dearest friend's throat,
the young woman Yun Zhi of the Ancient Medicine Sect flicked her finger, gathering light. "You little fool, you're killing the wrong person!"
The pills in her palm fell like rain, reviving Zhu Fugui, who had changed back into human form.
"The evil spirits are playing a game of making someone else do their dirty work! Want revenge? Come join the Sacred Spirit Sect with me!"
The trio were caught in a shocking web of intrigue:
The gluttonous fiendish energy inside the fat guy could turn on him at any moment!
Yun Zhi's medicine furnace could bring the dead back to life... or make someone laugh until their guts burst!
And with every rune Chen Zhu fused with, another demonic pattern crept across his body...
This book is awesome. It doesn't follow the rules. I haven't seen such a unique book for a long time. I highly recommend it. The author should keep updating.
