Chapter 412
The Judge is Slain by the Dragon Head Guillotine
The precious mirror shone brightly, as if the laws of heaven were clearly revealed, exposing all sins.
In an instant, Yan Bijiu, the registrar of the Department of Public Affairs, turned ashen-faced, his pupils dilated, and he hung his head in dejection, unaware that his official hat was askew.
The Mirror of Karma is a treasure of the Fifth Court of the Underworld, and only Bao Zheng can use it. It can reflect all sins and is completely impartial and selfless.
This act not only proved His sins, but also greatly enhanced Bao Gong's prestige. Some deities who had previously harbored doubts now showed excitement.
It felt like returning to the days when, under the rule of Judge Bao, the King of Hell, the underworld was rectified, injustices were investigated, and justice was served.
Even though hundreds of years have passed and the world has changed hands, people in both the living and the dead still remember that figure.
"Threatening musicians and framing the innocent is punishable by death according to the laws of the underworld!"
Zhou Sheng delivered the verdict expressionlessly and simultaneously threw down the command arrow.
As soon as the words were spoken, the executioner, who was in charge of carrying out the execution, stepped forward with his sword, intending to take the registrar to the guillotine for beheading.
The registrar trembled, a fierce glint in his eyes, and he roared, "Actor, how dare you touch this official?"
His divine power was unleashed, repelling the executioners. Like a trapped beast ready to fight to the death, he intimidated many people for a moment.
But Zhou Sheng was unwilling to delay any longer. His eyes flashed, and he said, "Where is the Tiger-Head Guillotine!"
Boom!
The next moment, a guillotine appeared, about ten feet long. The tiger's head had two eyes that moved like fiery glass, and the blood groove had an indelible blood color, making it look like it was on fire from a distance.
When the sword appeared, a beastly roar suddenly resounded in the hall, majestic and domineering.
The tiger roars in the golden hall!
"The Tiger-Head Guillotine, this, this is... the real Tiger-Head Guillotine. I saw it with my own eyes when I followed Judge Bao..."
Even ghosts and spirits cried out in alarm.
Because this guillotine is not a magical illusion, but the very three guillotines that accompanied Bao Gong in beheading countless corrupt officials, ruthless bandits, and powerful figures.
Later, when Bao Gong became Yama, these three guillotines also came to the underworld with him, where they beheaded gods and demons, earning him great renown.
After Bao Gong disappeared, these three guillotines gradually faded from the underworld, and some people heard that they were taken away by Bao Gong's descendants.
Faced with this group of treacherous and unruly ghosts and gods, Zhou Sheng finally unleashed the second trump card he had prepared for this trip—Bao Gong's guillotine!
With just a letter, Bao Ying traveled a great distance to personally deliver the three guillotines to him.
It can summon the evil mirror and wield the three guillotines.
He is now more powerful than his master who sang "Exploring the Underworld" back then, and he makes these ghosts and gods of the underworld feel even more desperate.
The registrar still tried to put up a stubborn resistance, but suddenly a striped tiger flew out from the tiger-head guillotine, fierce and powerful, biting off his spine and pinning him to the guillotine blade.
As the blade flashed, a scream rang out, then abruptly ceased.
Blood splattered in the golden palace.
The registrar of the Department of Public Affairs was known for his strict adherence to the law and was beheaded in court. The tiger-headed guillotine seemed to possess a strange power, capable of even slaying deities from the underworld.
In an instant, all the ghosts and gods in the hall were terrified, and even Judge Li's expression turned solemn.
The young occult practitioners, on the other hand, were excited and felt a surge of joy.
"This case is closed. Who else wants to seek justice?"
Zhou Sheng continued to ask.
At this moment, a Peking Opera tune rang out, and Yao Taifeng, playing the role of Liu Jinchan, finally made her appearance.
Hearing that it was Lord Bao inspecting Yinshan, Liu Jinchan was overjoyed. She stepped forward, weeping, to ask for a favor!
"What strange injustice have you suffered, crying and pleading with me? I ask you your name, surname, and which county you live in?"
Because Zhou Sheng did not have the Zhou family troupe participate in this performance, he directly omitted the storylines of Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and You Liu Gui, and replaced them with a duet between Zhou Sheng and Liu Jin Chan.
Normally, without these supporting actors, the realism of the play would be greatly reduced, but Zhou Sheng is, after all, a peak human immortal who has survived four heavenly tribulations, and with his profound knowledge of Yin plays, he is able to take such a risk.
Fortunately, the execution of the guillotine and the relentless pursuit of the deceased registrar have solidified his role and established his authority.
This is why he started by checking out the musicians.
The two then began a question-and-answer session.
"I live in Bianliang City under the surname Liu, Jin Chan." "Who plotted against you and caused your calamity?"
"I was killed by Li Baomou."
"Can one submit their case file in the Fifth Court of the Underworld?"
"The judge hid me in the Yin Mountains."
"What a good judge!"
……
Snapped!
The moment the gavel struck, Judge Li trembled inwardly; even this dignified deity had large beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Finished!
This time, they're coming for me!
"Judge Li, go and look at yourself in the mirror of the Judgment Platform!"
Bao Gong's words made His scalp tingle. He knew better than anyone the evil deeds He had committed. If He were to stand before the Mirror of Retribution and all his shameful acts were exposed, He would suffer the same fate as the Registrar!
The bloodstains on the ground were still wet. Li Pan gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeve and threw out a few fire poison beads, and then tried to escape.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard that upright, incorruptible, and awe-inspiring roar.
Where is the Dragon Head Guillotine?
Roar!
A deafening dragon's roar resounded, followed by the appearance of a golden, dragon-shaped guillotine. Its blade was decorated with spiral dragon scale patterns, and the bottom of the groove was not flat but composed of 108 reverse-scale blades. It stood upright as the dragon's roar echoed.
Like an angry dragon.
As a judge, He naturally possessed extraordinary divine power. He attempted to contend with the dragon-headed guillotine, but only managed to hold out for a few breaths before His protective divine power was shattered. As the blade fell, His incense-infused golden body crumbled, turning into dust and dissipating amidst screams.
Another judge has died!
Everyone present was deeply shocked, secretly thinking that the feng shui of the Investigation Division must be bad, as three judges had died in succession.
After killing Li Pan, Zhou Sheng's gaze swept over the assembled officials below the stage. This time, not a single one dared to meet his eyes.
His gaze was sharp, his voice as cold as ice, and he possessed an unquestionable, absolute authority.
"Gentlemen, please ascend the Mirror of Retribution."
"I have been away for three hundred years. I want to see how many people in the underworld are still... who don't deserve to die?"
……
Boom!
The starlight fell like rain, finally extinguishing the sea of fire, but the old man from Niushan, who was setting up the formation in the sky, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Juxianlou was reduced to ruins once again, and the fire even spread outwards, burning the surrounding houses to ashes.
Fortunately, they had moved the surrounding people away beforehand; otherwise, countless more innocent lives would have been lost in the fire.
While the common people were safe, the Yin Opera masters who fought valiantly suffered heavy casualties.
King Yama was truly enraged. His terrifying crimson karmic fire did not even spare his underworld soldiers and generals. Many underworld performers were still fighting against the underworld soldiers when they were all engulfed by the flames.
Of the dozen or so elite members of the Yinxi lineage, only four remain, and all of them are injured.
Yang Jinglan, who was following behind Yu Zhensheng, had also died in battle.
He fought bravely, slaying more than a dozen Yin generals. He was hit by several arrows and even had one arm cut off. In the end, he captured a Yin general with one arm and they were swept into the sea of fire together, perishing together.
At this moment, even Yu Zhensheng was about to collapse, his tiger's mouth was already covered in blood, and Yu Tianheng was also coughing up blood, his chest cavity almost collapsed.
He was almost pierced through the heart by Yama's finger.
Even so, he still coughed and laughed, his eyes looking down at others.
"You old bastard, I killed forty-three, how about you?"
"Forty-three in total."
"Hahaha!"
Yu Tianheng laughed loudly, his bloodshot pupils suddenly staring intently at Yan Jun, his voice fierce.
"It seems whoever kills this old beast first wins!"
