Main Text Chapter 719 Killing the City God
(Make up for October, 3,700 monthly tickets plus more)
Seeing that the evil ghost was afraid of his talisman, Xu Liu strode out with the talisman, and the attendants followed him with knives on both sides, full of murderous intent.
Miao Yi was secretly surprised again. Most mortals would be very scared when seeing a ghost, just like Old Man Liu, but the people in the palace dared to face it head-on. Could it be that they were not afraid of ghosts just because of the status of the palace?
What he didn't know was that the mortals here were different from the mortals in the small world. These guards in the palace had all come from the battlefields for years. They were all elites who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Only those who were qualified to be selected as guards in the palace had seen many scenes of death, which could be seen from the murderous aura.
The evil ghost was forced by the murderous aura of the group of people, and the group of strong men were not afraid of the strong yang energy, but forced the ghost cultivator to retreat a few steps.
Seeing this, Xu Liu sneered, "Where did this evil ghost dare to cause trouble here!" He drew a yellow talisman on his sleeve, and with a flash of fire, he slapped the evil ghost.
The magic power burst out and attacked with flames, and the evil ghost quickly dodged.
Xu Liu was merciless, lighting and slapping yellow talismans one after another, and more than a dozen talismans were used in succession, and the evil ghost had no room to dodge and escape.
The guards took the initiative to cut their palms with knives, and the blades were stained with blood full of yang energy. They quickly surrounded the ghost cultivator and attacked, just like forming a formation, advancing and retreating in a complementary manner, with sophisticated and mature knife skills, fierce attacks, and fearless.
With the joint efforts of several people, they actually killed the evil ghost in a hurry for a while, but it was difficult to hurt the evil ghost. After all, no matter the strength or reaction speed, they were not comparable to Xu Liu and others.
Miao Yi was amazed, it was really more fierce than ghosts. If the ghost saint Situ Xiao saw this, he would be embarrassed.
He also walked under the eaves with a scroll in his hand, watching the fight with his hands behind his back, looking quite elegant.
Old man Liu, who was curled up in the quilt, looked up secretly. Then he continued to curl up in the quilt and shivered.
However, the evil ghost was not a pushover, and seemed to be angry. When Xu Liu's talisman was used up, he quickly counterattacked, casting a spell to lift the floor tiles, and burst out, immediately hitting Xu Liu and others and making them spit blood and fall to the ground.
At this moment, two people suddenly jumped out from the roof nearby, as if they were startled by the fighting here.
Two young Taoist priests flipped down from the air and shook out a dark red net in the air. They pulled each other down and covered the evil ghost on the head, and quickly turned to lock the evil ghost.
The two Taoists only had a second-grade white lotus on their foreheads. They dared to take the initiative to attack a third-grade white lotus ghost cultivator. However, the nets in their hands were powerful. When the evil ghosts trapped in it touched the net rope, the touched parts were immediately burned and smoked. I wonder if the net rope was smeared with some extremely yang substances that specifically countered ghost cultivators.
The evil ghosts trapped in the net screamed miserably, and seemed to be in great pain, but they had no place to use their strength. They could not escape the bondage of the net.
Miao Yi was amazed. The net was obviously not a powerful magic weapon, but a solid net processed with something. It immediately became the nemesis of ghost cultivators. In addition to the talismans that appeared in front, although they were all small toys, they somewhat subverted Miao Yi's understanding of the magic weapons of the small world.
Clang clang! The two young Taoists who locked the evil ghost with the net suddenly drew out the long swords behind their backs, ready to kill the evil ghost.
The frightened evil ghost suddenly turned into smoke, and at the cost of a great loss of cultivation, he escaped from the mesh with a Yin Dan wrapped in it. The smoke immediately dissolved into nothingness when it touched the net rope.
This practice has already damaged the source of law. Miao Yi shook his head secretly. This ghost cultivator really risked his life to escape. Even if he escaped this disaster, his cultivation would probably be reduced from the third level of white lotus to the second level. Many years of hard cultivation were wasted, but it was better than losing his life.
Who knew that a Taoist priest still refused to let him go. He threw out a handful of dark red fine sand, which even dispersed a lot of the smoke that the ghost cultivator had turned into nothingness. He immediately screamed in the air, and the ghost cultivator showed his true form and fled in panic.
As Miao Yi expected, the third-level white lotus between the ghost cultivator's eyebrows had turned into a second-level white lotus.
Two young Taoist priests immediately raised their swords and chased him, truly exorcising demons.
Seeing that the two Taoist priests were still unwilling to let him go, the evil ghost who had fled over the wall was so frightened that his soul flew away. He cast a spell and shouted loudly, "Grandpa, save me, Grandpa, save me!"
Soon, the two men and the ghost had disappeared outside the courtyard.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Xu Liu and others got up one after another, still in shock.
Xu Liu looked back at Miao Yi, who was standing with his hands behind his back and holding a book in his hand, and was even more confused.
When he fell to the ground just now, he saw that this person was not surprised by the situation and walked out to watch the excitement calmly. This kind of calmness is not something that ordinary people can have. Thinking of this person's previous reminder to let them leave as soon as possible, Xu Liu asked, "Who are you?"
"Just a passerby, why ask more." As soon as he said this, Miao Yi's eyes suddenly raised, and he saw a strong Yin Qi rushing in front of him.
Bang bang! The two Taoist priests who had just left vomited blood in the air and flew back, and I don't know what hit them back.
Soon, a cloud of mist rolled in, and five ghost cultivators appeared. The ghost cultivator on the far right was the one who was injured just now.
The ghost cultivator in the middle was burly, wearing a black gauze hat and an official robe, with his hair and beard standing up, angry eyes like copper bells, and a fifth-grade blue lotus between his eyebrows.
The four ghost cultivators on his left and right were all in white robes, with disheveled hair, pretending to be ferocious.
The two Taoist priests who were beaten to the point of vomiting blood climbed up, holding swords and slowly retreating, bumping into Xu Liu and others, and urgently reminded: "This ghost has profound magic power, retreat quickly!"
Xu Liu looked back at Miao Yi, who was still calm, and with an idea, he waved his hand to call his men to retreat together, passing Miao Yi on both sides and retreating to the study room behind Miao Yi.
So many evil ghosts again! The old man Liu who looked outside through the gap in the quilt was so scared that he curled up in the quilt again and trembled.
The two Taoist priests slowly retreated and guarded, one of them waved his sword and pointed, shouting angrily: "Which evil ghost dares to make trouble in the city!"
The burly ghost cultivator in official robes said angrily: "I am the local city god, two junior scholars dared to hurt my ghost messenger, do you know your crime!"
"City God?" The two Taoist priests looked at each other.
City God? Miao Yi's heart moved, and he remembered the situation when he went to the City God Temple during the day. At that time, he noticed that there were ghost cultivators entrenched, but he didn't expect it to be this guy.
City God? Xu Liu and others also looked at each other, quite surprised.
When Liu Lao, who was shivering in the quilt, heard that it was the City God, he actually popped his head out of the quilt and stared with wide eyes.
A Taoist priest shouted: "Since you are the City God, you should pacify the people and deter ghosts. Why do you drive the ghost messenger to harm people? Where is the law of heaven!"
"Which eye did you see my ghost messenger harming people?" The City God seemed to be stepped on the sore spot, and murderous intent surged in his eyes. He pointed his finger and said sternly: "Two mere scholars dared to slander the officials of the Heavenly Court and discuss the laws of the Heavenly Court. The crime is unforgivable! Come on, capture these two evil Taoists for me!"
"Yes!" The four ghost messengers on the left and right immediately drew their swords and stepped forward.
Heavenly Law? What? Miao Yi muttered in his heart, seeing that there were actually two ghost cultivators of the fifth rank of White Lotus, who had already acquired the ability to attack from a distance. I'm afraid that these two righteous Taoists could not handle it. Looking at the cold eyes of the city god sweeping over the people in the hall, it seemed that he had already started to kill. In addition, after listening to the conversation, he vaguely realized that the city god seemed to want to kill people to silence them! I'm afraid that no one here will be spared!
The two young Taoists seemed to know that they were not opponents, and they kept retreating. When they retreated past Miao Yi, they did not forget to remind him, "Hurry up! We can't hold them off for long!"
Miao Yi looked around, blocking? Can you hold them off? You are lucky today, you ran into me!
Swish! When the four ghost messengers suddenly dodged and pounced, Miao Yi suddenly showed one of his hands behind his back, opened his five fingers in the air, and a surge of magic power came out.
The scene suddenly became quiet, with only the breathing of some people. The two Taoists and Xu Liu and others all widened their eyes, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
The four ghost officials had already solidified in the air, their faces full of pain.
The City God was shocked and shouted, "Who is it?"
"You, the City God, did something wrong and you still want to kill people to silence them?" Miao Yi snorted coldly, and suddenly grabbed the air with five fingers, and the four ghost officials immediately rushed over and hit Miao Yi's palm.
With the Star Fire Art, the four ghost officials immediately looked painful, and began to turn into bursts of flying smoke and dissipate. Under Miao Yi's strong suppression, the four ghost cultivators in extreme pain couldn't even shout.
Soon the four ghost officials were burned, and turned into four inferior Yin Dan and fell into Miao Yi's palm.
The two young Taoists were shocked, shocked by Miao Yi's method of exorcising ghosts, looked at each other, and then looked at Miao Yi with eyes full of admiration.
Xu Liu was surprised, and secretly thought that he was indeed not an ordinary person.
The old man Liu, who was half wrapped in a quilt, was dumbfounded.
"How dare you! How dare you kill the ghost officials!" The City God shouted in horror.
Miao Yi collected the Yin Dan, waved his hand and stretched out his five fingers to grab the void again.
The strong force enveloped the City God, who was almost scared to death. He struggled desperately but was sucked in, and was finally strangled by Miao Yi.
"Do you want to die or live?" Miao Yi asked calmly.
The City God had already sensed the terrifying Yang aura in Miao Yi's palm that could turn him into ashes, and immediately shouted: "Grandpa, spare me! Grandpa, spare me!"
Miao Yi asked: "Why did you drive the ghost messenger to harm people?"
The City God hurriedly said: "I didn't drive the ghost messenger to harm people, I just drove the ghost messenger out to scare those mortals who didn't seek shelter. After scaring them, they would definitely be scared and would definitely go to the City God Temple to pray devoutly."
Miao Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "For the power of vows?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Grandpa, spare me! I have no intention of harming anyone!"
"Just now, even I wanted to kill you to silence you, and you still say you have no intention of harming anyone? Leaving you, a treacherous villain, will definitely be a disaster, how can I spare you!" Miao Yi snorted coldly, and suddenly strangled the other person's neck, and the invisible flame quickly burned it out of a puff of smoke.
Finally, a first-grade Yin Dan fell into Miao Yi's palm, and he turned his hand to collect it, and then waved his hand to sweep away the things left on the ground by several ghost cultivators. (To be continued)
