Chapter 605: Chapter 396: Evil Money Copper Plate, Wu Gou Miao Yin (1st Update, Please Subscribe!)

"The so-called natural disasters and man-made calamities often arise out of nowhere, without any warning signs.

One unique disaster to this realm, the ’Cultivator Mutation’, is no exception.

And mutations, too, vary in type, with the resulting destructive powers being by no means uniform.

Mostly, they involve the burst of Source Qi within the cultivator’s body breaking through constraints, causing the cultivator to transform from a thinking, rational member of the Human Clan into a monster driven solely by destruction and slaughter.

A cultivator post-mutation will see a drastic increase in combat strength, and before falling dead, they will tirelessly kill indiscriminately any life in their vicinity.

This is why whenever a cultivator mutates, those fellow Daoists nearby will try to save them if possible; if not, they will strike them down without hesitation.

And among the Evil Path, it is even more the case of the latter.

Realizing that ’Wutong Master’ displayed signs of mutation, the Three Demons acted on instinct while simultaneously aiming to deliver a killing blow to Wutong, all the while their minds recalled what they had witnessed earlier on Immortal Crane Mountain.

’So that’s how it is, this ugly toad has been leaking energy across the mountain for some time, perhaps cultivating a fault for a while now.’

’It’s a good opportunity, killing Wutong not only yields rewards but also means one less competitor for the Ten Thousand Marvels Sky-reaching Treasure Tower.’

’Immortal Crane Spirit Mountain, the Nameless Treasure Pearl, will all be mine.’

The Three Demons harbored their own sordid thoughts.

Regrettably, they were all destined not to have their wishes fulfilled.

Wutong’s Mutation!

This, in truth, was a play.

Directed by Master Tao and starring Master Tao.

The removal of this ugly and stinking temporary disguise also marked the moment for a couple, hidden Buddhists from the South Sea, to enter the scene.

’My entry with Yunrong requires a proper stepping stone.’

’Before that, it’s also time to do something for the territory around Guangping City and the mortals living there, such as slaughtering most of the Demons and Ghosts right here in this land.’

’The timing couldn’t be better, how could I pass up such an opportunity?’

When these decisions were made, the Three Demons’ attacks also arrived.

At the same moment, Tao Qian, who was disguised as Wutong, took action.

His neck suddenly swelled to the size of a grindstone, his skin translucent, covered with purple-black veins. He opened his large mouth and his toad-like calls reverberated throughout the Gao Mansion.

’Goo!’

’Goo goo goo!’

With several harrowing sounds, where the terrifying sonic waves passed, time and space seemed to freeze.

The Three Demons showed expressions of agony and halted their attacks.

The myriad of Demons and Ghosts that were indulging in wanton revelry within the mansion were grievously wounded in both body and soul, paralyzed on the spot, unable to move. They could only barely twist their necks to stare with eyes filled with terror at the main hall, where Wutong Master, now devoid of his physical body, revealed his true form.

All Demons took one look and thought: What a formidable One-Horned Demon Toad. freёnovelkiss-com

In the hall, there was now a toad as big as a small house, its thick yellow body covered with pustules and tumors, its back was full of holes, each embedded with shining, sticky pearls that housed a multitude of grotesque tadpoles the size of a palm. Underneath its abdomen, there were unexplainably patches of crimson blood lines; it seemed like some kind of worms were wriggling and extending outward...

But any unfortunate Little Demon or ghost struck by them would lose their life, turning into a pool of crimson pus.

Anyone seeing this scene would understand this was a fearsome Devil.

And the next transformation further confirmed this.

Accompanied by the swelling of the Demon Toad’s neck once again from Wutong’s Mutation, and the ’goo goo’ rumbling from within, its large mouth opened wide, releasing a dark yellow radiance, flickering throughout the City Lord Mansion.

A rain of flowers showered Copper Coins!

One after another, the Copper Coins flew out, landing with uncanny precision on top of everyone’s head.

Even the Three Demons were no exception.

The two sides of the Copper Coin were engraved with the characters "Life" and "Death".

When they landed on the heads of All Demons, the Copper Coins took root, slowly draining their Essence Qi to feed back to Wutong Master.

This turn of events, of course, terrified All Demons, all wishing to flee.

But in the next moment, they heard the angry shouts of the Three Demons:

’If you don’t want to die, no one make a move.’

’These are ’Evil Money Copper Plates’ from Wutong, once Copper Coins hit the ground, your life is not guaranteed.’

’Wutong’s cultivation has gone awry; he is now instinctively trying to save himself. These Copper Coins are merely draining some of your Essence Qi, and won’t claim your life, but if you act rashly and cause the Copper Coins to fall, waking Wutong entirely, he won’t look like this anymore. His true size would at least swell to half the size of Immortal Crane Mountain outside the city; by then, no matter how fast you can run, you won’t outpace his divine ability to open his large mouth and engulf the heavens and earth.’

Each of the Three Demons in turn pacified the demons in the mansion.

After Wutong finished spitting out the Copper Coins, his true form shrank slightly, his eyes filled with Evil Light and killing intent drooped as if he was falling asleep.

Seeing this, All Demons breathed a sigh of relief, their lives were spared?

But the Three Demons exchanged glances, their gazes all locked onto the Treasure Bead inside Wutong.

Below the translucent skin, a Treasure Bead was gestating, with Divine Light leaking out.

There were rumors in the territories surrounding Immortal Crane Mountain that Wutong had by sheer luck obtained a Toad Pearl from the Nine Toad Sect—a treasure that granted him his extraordinary Divine Skills.

Who wouldn’t covet such treasures?

Especially at this moment, the Three Demons all saw that Wutong was caught in the midst of Mutation; despite his instinctive self-saving actions, he was likely beyond saving.

The Bead should again become ownerless.

Who it would belong to, however, was another question.

The Three Demons of course did not consider the rest of the Demons as threats, only each other and Gao Buxi.

Before Devouring Ghosts Master Qu Zhongyuan and Dog Immortal Li Fengxian could speak, Old Turtle Demon Deng Xuechao couldn’t hold back and transmitted a message:

’Daoist friends, the signs of Wutong’s Mutation were clear for some time now, it seems he won’t hold out much longer. When the moment arrives, the three of us should strike together, exterminate his body and soul, and eliminate future troubles.’"
