Chapter 232: Chapter 35 Spider Monkey, Night Watchman, Traveling the World! (Request for Monthly Tickets)This defiant slash naturally shattered the statue of the Evil God, which aside from its malevolent appearance, had nothing special about it.
It looked terrifying, but essentially it was made of clay, so it directly shattered into pieces all over the ground.
Watching the scene in front of him, where the soldiers carefully approached to clean up the broken pieces, Xu Shu couldnât help but smile wryly.
Scared to death!
"I thought it would have defenses like the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, something like a Primordial Spirit. Turns out, itâs just a clay model? Useless."
"However, this Qingcheng Sect actually worships a statue of an Evil God... Could this be related to the yin ghosts?"
"Is this Seven-eyed Evil Ghost Statue possibly the so-called Ghost Ancestor, Jiaye Luo?"
"Hehe, the mystery behind this legendary event is about to be unraveled by me."
"I already have two âHeavenly Defianceâ ratings in hand, so Iâm not worried about rewards, I can at least obtain an Epic level Mark Altar, but exploring the real truth behind these yin ghosts is quite interesting."
"I wonder what kind of creature it actually is."
Judging from Gu Huoniao, first of all, they are not complete âYin Godsâ because these yin ghosts have complete physical bodies.
Xu Shu was certain of this; Gu Huoniao and the Yin God¡Desire: Black Silk Lady he once subdued inside the âRecord Player Guanyin Statueâ were completely different.
The latter was a true âghostâ form, although it felt like it had a physical body, it was essentially an âenergy bodyâ and ice-cold.
But Gu Huoniao, sheâs made of real flesh and blood! Her blood is hot, warm and softânot the cold body of a corpse.
"A yin ghost? Let me pull off your mask and see how many faces you really have!"
Xu Shu chuckled.
With no worries about ratings, he could now more honorably follow his own heart and earnestly make his moves in this legend!
"Letâs talk when we get back..." As Xu Shuâs words fell, suddenly a chilling wind howled, and the sky outside darkened as clouds covered the moon.
"Not good! It took too long to break down the door, and the sun has already set!" Xu Shuâs face changed.
At that moment, various roars resounded across Qingcheng Mountain, and in the dark forest ahead, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up, staring menacingly at you.
This eerie scene terrified the two to three hundred soldiers you had brought with you, and they trembled as they muttered things like "Itâs over, the cannibalistic evil spirits have come."
"Everyone, retreat! Follow me!" Xu Shu knew he could not delay any longer, and he had been too careless. He should have realized sooner that aside from yin ghosts, what other assassin specifically targets the heart?
The reputation of the Qingcheng Sect in Jianghu was indeed notable, usually assisting the night watchmen on the periphery, which is why he was kept in the dark.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a giant black-furred monster, over four meters tall, stepped out of the dark forest. It had arms like an ape and a body like a bear, with bizarre compound eyes on its belly, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Its muscles were grotesquely exaggerated and it wore some torn Taoist robes, and its twisted face still vaguely showed the contours of a human face, sarcastically saying, "Ha, the damn court coming to mess in my house, none of you will leave alive!"
Xu Shuâs expression darkened, "Qingcheng Sectâs Yu Sangtian? Youâve actually become a yin ghost!"
"Hey, boys, eat them!"
At his command, the yin ghosts in the forest surged forward. There were more than a dozen of them, each moving as fast as the wind and as strong as a first-rank martial artist, and among them, four were particularly formidableâthey were once known as the âheroic beastsâ of Qingcheng!
Like tigers among sheep, the dozen monsters flew about, grabbing and killing. Their bodies, undying, could be split in two by the resisting soldiers and still fight separately, slaughtering over two hundred soldiers into disarray.
"Young master, I have failed in my duty. Please protect yourself! Run!" Saying this, Xu Shu drew his twin blades and charged forward, clashing with the strongest among them, Yu Sangtian.
His blades danced furiously, sparks flying in a fierce exchange that was evenly matched. Watching Xu Shuâs style, you were stunned, "Heâs not a Taoist, but an ordinary martial artist at the second-stage late!"
This placed you in a dilemma. While Xu Shuâs second-rank strength was considerable, being merely a âWeapon Masterâ would result in a situation like the one you faced with Gu Huoniao before: you could hold off for a while, but couldnât kill the enemy, and he would wear you down to death.
Dozens of soldiers had already fallen. You drew your sword and with a powerful slash, cut two yin ghosts into eight pieces, but before the soldiers you rescued could cheer, the eight parts of these ghosts fought separately, killing even faster.
"Young master, we should retreat. I wondered who it wasâit turns out to be the newly appointed Lower Waning Sixth Spider Ape. In my eyes, this trash has only average power, but we all have undying bodies, so we canât do anything to each other here without a night watchman; they canât be killed at night!" Gu Huoniao hurriedly explained to you.
Hearing this, you were stunned, "What does that mean? Does it mean that with a night watchman, they could be killed at night?"
In that moment of hesitation, flames suddenly erupted ahead.
"Sealâopen!"
Xu Shu fiercely struck the bronze gong on his chest. Ding! His entire robe ignited from feet to head, transforming like the Evil Spirit Knight. His blades glowed red-hot, magma dissolved, and red Sanskrit scripts engraved into his robe shone brightly.
His fiery hair surged up, and as if the Fire God had descended, Xu Shu crossed his blades, executing the Cross Meteor Slash.
In a flash mixed with flames, a roaring inferno surged forward, followed only then by a thunderous roar that shook the nightâ
"Flames devour all! Ring of flame burst!"
The gushing flames instantly engulfed everything, and in the massive explosion, the entire forest burned, the Spider Apeâs screams gradually weakening.
Everyone was stunned; even Gu Huoniao in the blood coffin behind you couldnât help but exclaim, "Guh! A Fire Department walker?!"
Seeing this, the other yin ghosts panicked and fled as if sensing their leaderâs dire situation.
Seizing the moment, you captured one, but too many were beyond your control. While holding down one of the Qingcheng beasts, you asked, "A Fire Department walker? What is that?"
"Young master, the night watchman is divided into the Ghost-Slaying Eight Divisions, including heaven, earth, mountain, marsh, water, fire, wind, and thunder... Heâs coming! Iâll explain later; if he finds out, Iâll die, guh!" Gu Huoniao retreated.
Before long, Xu Shu, who had reverted to his normal human form and was still steaming, returned, carrying the huge bear-headed corpse, which he threw on the ground.
"No...impossible... The Ghost Ancestor had protected me... How could I die...ah, Master, youâve come to fetch me..." Spider Ape Yu Sangtianâs eyes were bewildered, recalling the miserable lessons from begging in ditches as a child, the painful helplessness when the woman he admired married another, the righteousness when he became the Sect Leader, the fear when he was transformed into a yin ghost by pollution, and the bloody desire that surged as he killed and ate countless people...
His life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, turning completely to ashes, leaving behind the bodies of over a hundred soldiers.
Seeing the yin ghost you captured, Xu Shu immediately chopped off its limbs with a smooth strike, and this ghost didnât regenerate but turned to ashes instead, surprising you.
"Young master, I was incapable and miscalculated, leading to so many deaths..."
"Ah, cut the chatter; letâs head back to the ship!" you interjected.
Without even a moment to mourn the fallen soldiers, you returned to your treasure ship. While eating dinner, you knocked on the table three times, tap, tap, tap. Xu Shu immediately understood...
