Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1191 - 127: Wangsi City, Slander Spell? Sir, Times Have Changed!
As he entered, the originally two-meter-wide circular vortex seemed to have triggered some condition, and immediately shrank and cut off the entrance.
At the original spot, only a stick of incense still wafting smoke remained, surrounded by silence as if all living creatures had been killed in an instant.
...
Goo-zz~
Goo-zz~
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and passed through the passage.
This place was initially very narrow, only allowing a person through, and then it became tighter, as if the gray-white walls of unknown material were squeezing him.
A few dozen steps forward, it finally opened up, a vast expanse of ancient temple architecture appeared before his eyes.
Underfoot was the peak of a green mountain, and the air seemed to carry a faint misty rain, with whispering sounds of chanting in his ears.
There was a tall tower on each side of the temple, and the sound of bells occasionally echoed from the tops, calling out to each other.
With just one glance, Xu Shu confirmed that this was indeed the place where he had once fought—the Capital City, Shimizu Temple.
However, it’s worth mentioning that there was a large brick and stone square within the temple, on which thousands of people seemed to be kneeling.
They were dressed in various modern attire, kneeling with their heads to the ground, extremely devout, seemingly worshipping the Buddha within the temple.
That faint chant was actually coming from these worshippers, forming a continuous line, entirely one with the temple.
"These things, I have never seen them before~"
"According to what Xie Xiaochan said, these Buddha worshippers are the so-called Ghost Soldiers or Corpse Generals that can’t be killed off and drop no crystals?"
Xu Shu squinted his eyes and glanced at the Tai Chu Scroll, which read:
[After a lot of fuss, you and your teammates successfully entered the Sealing Land.]
[This place has a distinct barrier from the outside relic space, you thought you were seeing Shimizu Temple, but in fact, there were some different things here, such as the resentful spirits from Wangsi City.]
[It’s not the sound of chanting, but rather the voices of the dead, pouring out emotions: sorrow, resentment, rage, regret, despair...]
[Oh dear, why are there so many souls of wrongful death here?]
[No one can answer this question, perhaps no one even cares, because—they have arrived!]
[With no time to mourn the millions of souls departed, the first to arrive at the battlefield were the roaming wills of the Sealing Land, soul spirits returning from destruction - Split Mouth Woman and Fujiang, making their grand entrance!]
[They are coming towards you with endless legions of souls filled with the obsession to escape torment, advancing with dignity and precision!]
Swoosh!
Xu Shu’s pupils shrunk, there was no time to contemplate the meanings of "Sealing Land" or "Wangsi City" when two slightly familiar figures appeared within his sight.
One figure had long hair draped over her shoulders, with a lowered head and eyes, clothed in white, introduced by two budding lotus blooms, walking elegantly out of the Main Hall.
She smiled from her brows, possessing the grace of a classic beauty, making one feel tender toward her, almost wanting to take her into arms and cherish her, unable to harm.
"Fujiang. It seems like a clone, where is the main body..."
Xu Shu scanned the surroundings, just as he was about to make a warning, the round, heavy-set man beside him had already charged forward.
"Leave this to me to deal with! Hahaha!"
Amidst a suffocating burst of laughter, Yan Huoxing launched like a rocket, hugging Fujiang, plummeting her into the ground like a meteor!
Following suit, two figures transformed into black lightning and joined in, Ali and Zhang Runzhi.
Ali took out a strange whistle and blew it, Yan Huoxing immediately shrieked, emitting a wolf howl.
Zhang Runzhi’s actions were much simpler, he clapped both hands forcefully onto the ground.
In the next moment, the whole square seemed to leap!
Explosions erupted continuously, massive cracks appeared, layers of red gas waves soared upwards, spreading like ripples.
Along with the breakage were the "worshippers," rushing upward like mindless zombies.
They fought fiercely without fear of death, rushing forward only to be torn apart in the terrifying waves, grounded to dust, fading to ash instantly, with no chance to fight.
"Is this the standard of a top butcher?"
"No wonder they’re Human List Experts, definitely much stronger than any other butcher I’ve seen!"
Xu Shu’s gaze hardened, his body already glowing with a layer of luminescence—"Life Player" Gu Yue Ming had cast two blessings on him upon arrival, restoring and enhancing him, then hid behind him.
Moreover, "Heavenly Master" Lu Bingwei did not join the fray.
She stood aside, coolly saying, "I’ll follow you to deal with the Scissors Ghost."
"Alright."
Three against one, it seems the delegation was clear before entering.
"Scissors Ghost hasn’t..."
Xu Shu was about to say the Scissors Ghost hadn’t appeared yet, when suddenly he heard the bell ringing behind him, and then a chilling wind struck, stabbing straight at Gu Yue Ming hiding behind him!
"?"
Goodness, such jinxed words! Yet this thing actually chooses a target?
Xu Shu furrowed his brow, without a word, extending his arm to pull his aunt into his arms.
Then came the clang of metal together, the massive scissors clamped onto Xu Shu’s golden-glowing right shoulder abruptly, sparking wildly.
He activated Jingwei Filling the Sea immediately to defend.
It was only then that the sinister aura from behind Xu Shu just began to emanate.
The creature was a mature woman, cloaked in a lab coat that could not conceal her graceful figure, wearing a white medical mask, eyes still pure as water.
It was the old friend, Split Mouth Woman!
Appearing abruptly beside Xu Shu as if drifting through space, she attacked.
A cut that was ineffective, Split Mouth Woman’s gaze unchanged, disappearing and seemingly dissolving into nothing.
Xu Shu noticed Lu Bingwei beside him was indifferent.
His heart jolted as he asked, "Why not act?"
Lu Bingwei glanced at him, saying, "This Curse Spirit isn’t affected by any damage, attacking her is futile, a waste of energy. She has locked onto you, head to the south bell tower, listen to my command and do whatever I say! Remember!"
As she finished, the Human List 314 Expert’s face suddenly contorted, before being abruptly cut into two by the appearing scissors and dissipating into the air.
That, was a paper doll.
She had been flesh and blood moments before, yet suddenly transformed into a "paper doll," bearing the sneak attack!
"?" Split Mouth Woman looked around, apparently dissatisfied with the result of the cut, then glanced at Xu Shu again, her body dematerializing, vanishing from view.
Xu Shu was slightly surprised, feeling Lu Bingwei’s trick seemed familiar.
Soon he found the similar tactic from his memory—was this not the "Scribe’s" "Substitution" tactic!
Though differing in form, fundamentally it seemed completely similar.
Of course, given the different paths of the Transcendent, there might be other subtleties, not something Xu Shu could comprehend in an instant.
He had yet to experience the "Orphan" or "Musician" paths.
Although the opponent’s behavior seemed rather arrogant to Xu Shu, he didn’t dwell on it much, immediately holding Gu Yue Ming and sprinting vigorously, heading towards the southern bell tower.
