Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1203 - 129: Second Bloom, Still Unable to Escape
Just a brief glance, Xu Shu felt that the one known as "the strongest sorcerer four hundred years ago", Lord Knot, displayed a sluggish and dazed demeanor, as if he didn’t have much time left to be clear-headed, suggesting ominous signs in old age.
About to investigate further!
The six of them reached a consensus quickly and immediately returned to the south.
In front of the Main Hall, a multitude of corpses and resentful spirits stood densely packed, heads jostling, forming a crowd.
Oddly, with both the Split Mouth Woman and Fujiang "fleeing in battle", these deceased too seemed to be somewhat influenced, becoming stiff and significantly slower in their movements.
Xu Shu and the others didn’t even need to deliberately avoid them and smoothly entered the main entrance of the Main Hall without any hindrance.
The deceased, however, stopped on the square, not intending to come in, and instead knelt stiffly one by one, beginning to resume their original devout worshiping postures.
It seemed as if, inside and outside this Main Hall was their sacred place of longing, once inside, they would not disturb anymore.
"Interesting, haha. By the way, is there anything to pay attention to when dealing with this demon monk?" Xu Shu turned back and asked.
Everyone hesitated slightly, looked at him, and said, "You don’t make a move, let us handle it! We fear he might escape too."
"Oh, okay then." Xu Shu scratched his head slightly awkwardly, standing behind everyone.
After a few more steps, the entire main hall came into view.
A giant Buddha statue facing the entrance, casting a compassionate gaze forward.
On both sides stood various Bodhisattvas and arhats, posing differently, as if overlooking the center of the main hall.
Inside the glorious and resplendent hall, there was a dead silence, with only the monk, somewhat half-Merfolk in appearance, sitting quietly tapping a wooden fish, making intermittent sounds at an eerie frequency.
Doo doo! Doo doo! Doo doo!
As they entered, Knot didn’t react in any way, just continued with his original actions, doo doo doo, tapping, more monotonous and tedious than a clock’s chimes.
As if he himself was just another unchanging Buddha statue.
For a moment, everyone’s breath hitched, even their breathing slowed down consciously.
It seemed that despite coming here to fight this eerie demon monk, they were also influenced by the tranquil and solemn atmosphere inside the hall.
After a few steps, the monk stopped his motion, slowly turned, and swept his dull eyes over them.
His gaze lacked spirit, lacked focus, like that of a puppet.
"Be careful!"
Yan Huoxing immediately became alert and stopped in his tracks as well.
This sudden change raised everyone’s heartbeat into their throats.
Even as masters abounded, facing such a bizarre existence, none dared to underestimate it.
For a moment, Knot "looked" at everyone.
Everyone also looked at this monk.
The eerie silence lasted over three minutes.
Finally, Lu Bingwei took a step forward.
She formed a strange hand seal, her pupils suddenly turned into a pair of eyes, looking both eerie and mysterious, walking straight step by step towards Knot!
"Hey?" Xu Shu initially wanted to stop her, worried she might be under Knot’s spiritual control.
After all, from memory, this fellow was a "summoning type" sorcerer, whose combat ability was not strong but seemed quite accomplished in spiritual power.
However, just as Xu Shu was about to speak, Zhang Runzhi and Yan Huoxing grabbed him, made a shushing gesture, signaling him not to interfere.
Seeing this, Xu Shu guessed everything was within their assessment and didn’t say more.
It’s worth mentioning, he stepped back one more step and noticed that his aunt had also moved over, standing behind everyone.
"..." Gu Yue Ming glanced at him, awkwardly shifting her gaze away.
This was just a minor episode; everyone waited for Lu Bingwei’s actions.
Watching her getting closer to Knot and the latter without any response all the while, at a distance of thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, getting nearer.
At this moment, Knot’s neck suddenly trembled slightly, his dry and decayed lips opened and closed, uttering sighing words, powerless saying:
"It still came, eventually..."
"Inescapable!"
"What is it?" Everyone was unsure and exchanged glances, this seemed different from their imagination.
Xu Shu’s pupils contracted.
"This tone, it’s not Knot at all... wait, could it be he’s?"
Xu Shu felt uncertain and confused, Knot’s voice was completely different from his memory, it seemed more like another presence!
Then, after speaking, Knot’s head spun around from his neck and fell off.
Just like old furniture falling apart, it dropped down but coincidentally fell right into the golden bowl in his left hand.
Then the head shattered into pieces inside the bowl.
The blood solidified, without splattering everywhere, rather forming into a piece, lying in the bowl, just like a blooming lotus flower.
Knot’s body maintained the sitting posture, slowly dissipated, crumbling into fragments, leaving nothing behind.
"This..."
Lu Bingwei was stunned, Yan Huoxing and the others also looked at each other in shock.
He died!
After struggling so hard to get into the Main Hall, getting close to this evil monk.
But before they could even exchange blows or have any communication, he just died like that!
Clearly, this was not in Lu Bingwei and the others’ plans.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall congealed, and turned immensely quiet again.
Only from the core of the lotus inside the golden bowl, two golden words slowly unfolded, presented in front of everyone.
One was the word "Earth,"
And the other was "Prison!"
