Chapter 131: Chapter 115: Seeing the Gray Mist Again, Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple!_2
Translator: 549690339
Both of their pupils violently contracted as they looked into the room, only to see a rolling Yin energy inside, like a thick fog, and nothing else could be seen beyond it!
“Damn it!”
The old man let out a low shout, quickly retreating. As he retreated, he shouted, “You’ve actually raised a…!”
Xu Yang flicked his finger, and a burst of lightning shot out from the tip of it. Before the old man could finish his sentence, he was struck by the lightning. His body trembled, and sparks of electricity flickered on him, before he fell to the ground.
The woman, however, was brave. Instead of retreating, she flashed forward and appeared right in front of Xu Yang. With a dagger in her hand, she slashed at Xu Yang’s neck.
Xu Yang didn’t dodge or avoid it. A Diamond Talisman on his body exploded, revealing a faint protective golden light. He turned his palm, grabbed the iron hammer, and swung it at her!
Bang!
Bang!
Two muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously.
The protective golden light on Xu Yang’s body trembled slightly but remained unharmed, while the woman’s body revealed a wave of grey fog that seemed to block Xu Yang’s attack as well.
“Huh?”
Xu Yang was surprised.
This woman’s cultivation was slightly stronger than Wang Lin, but she took a solid hit from him and remained unharmed. The grey fog on her body reminded Xu Yang of the gray monster and the gray hand in the Silver City Institute of Technology.
“I have a divine power granted by the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple. How can a mere Daoist who hasn’t even stepped into the Entering Dao Realm like yourself hurt me?”
The woman sneered and attacked again, wielding her dagger.
Xu Yang noticed that deep in her eyes, there also seemed to be a grey fog surging, and her mental state seemed to be in a special kind of madness and excitement, which was clearly influenced by something.
This explained why she and the man had been so arrogant.
It wasn’t that they were stubborn or looked down on the Spirits Management Bureau, but their mental state had changed dramatically after being affected by some mysterious influence!
Xu Yang held the iron hammer and swung it again.
He clashed with the woman five times, and the protective golden light on his body was eventually shattered, but the woman remained unharmed.
“Interesting!”
Xu Yang put away the iron hammer. Facing the crazed woman who wielded the dagger again, he raised his hand and pointed.
Whoosh!
A wall of water appeared out of thin air.
The woman slashed through the water wall and pierced through it.
What greeted her next was a wall of fire.
On her body, the gray fog rolled, as if the Fire Method had some influence on it, but the effect was not significant.
Xu Yang raised his hand, and another lightning shot out.
Whoosh!
When the surging gray fog encountered the rules of Thunder, it quickly melted and receded like snow under sunlight.
He held the iron hammer and swung it down again.
Lightning enveloped the head of the hammer!
Bang!
The woman was knocked directly back, her chest caved in, blood flowing from her mouth and nose. The gray fog on her body rose like it had sentience and quickly flew towards the distant sky.
Xu Yang glanced at the receding grey fog, then approached the old man, who had been knocked down by the “Wulei Rules.”
The old man had froth at his mouth and his eyes rolling back, looking as if he had been electrocuted within an inch of his life.
However, just as Xu Yang came close, the old man suddenly sprang up, opened his mouth, and sprayed a black mist from his mouth, attacking Xu Yang’s face.
A Diamond Talisman exploded on Xu Yang’s body.
A faint protective golden light shielded him from the black mist.
However, in the black mist, there was an odd-looking insect about the length of a joint, with a dark body and a dung beetle appearance. It pierced through the protective golden light on Xu Yang’s body and tried to burrow in.
Xu Yang reached out, pulled the insect out, threw it on the ground, and smashed it with a hammer.
The insect burst open on impact, while the old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with horror. He exclaimed, “Impossible… Why is your Diamond Talisman so strong in defense?”
He was a veteran of the martial world.
His main focus was “witchcraft”. Although his abilities were not too high, he was very knowledgeable and naturally recognized the protective golden light on Xu Yang’s body as the effect of the “Diamond Talisman”.
He was well aware of the “Diamond Talisman”, so he pretended to be dead, attacked Xu Yang when he was unprepared… but he didn’t expect that Xu Yang’s Diamond Talisman had been blessed by the “Supreme Purification Seal”, making its defense power more than twice as strong as an ordinary “Diamond Talisman”!
This miscalculation resulted in total defeat, his life-sustaining Gu insect was smashed to death with one hammer, and he himself suffered a great backlash. His breath suddenly wilted.
Most of the people living in this guesthouse were martial artists.
This battle had alarmed many people, and the owner of the guesthouse was sitting on the ground, crying loudly: “It’s a sin…”
Two people died in his guesthouse.
As one can imagine, who would dare to stay in the inn once word got out?
I’m afraid everyone staying here would want a refund.
Xu Yang glanced at the guesthouse owner and said, “Don’t worry, this won’t affect you.”
He took out his phone, called Zhou Jie, then carried the old man into the room like a dead dog.
Inside the room, Yun Mengxi was the first to jump out. She grabbed the old man’s collar and said angrily, “Tell me where you took Shishi! If you don’t tell me, I’ll tear your mouth off!”
Zing!
Her hand was full of cold, shiny nails that suddenly sprang out.
“Zo…zombie…”
The old man’s pupils contracted. He, as a veteran of the martial world, knew what a zombie that could talk meant.
Xu Yang urged from the side, “Mengxi, don’t be impulsive… I killed his life-sustaining Gu insect, so he’s suffering from a witchcraft backlash and is weak. Don’t scare him to death.”
Yun Mengxi sneered, “It’s better if he dies. I’ll swallow his soul, refine his memories, and immediately know all their plans.”
Bang!
As the sound of Yun Mengxi’s voice fell, Xu Yang hammered down.
The old man’s chest collapsed, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, “Why…”
“You kidnapped my ghost and want to live?”
Xu Yang said coldly, “Besides, people like you have taken who knows how many innocent lives. Killing you is doing heaven’s work… Even if you were handed over to the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, you would still face death.”
The old man’s eyes widened, and his mouth twitched weakly, using the last of his strength to say, “I curse you…”
Bang!
Before his curse was complete, Xu Yang smashed his face with a hammer!
“Dammit!”
“You want more?”
Xu Yang cursed angrily, looking at the dead old man, “You witchcraft practitioners just like to curse people, don’t you?”
The following process was simple.
Yun Mengxi used some unknown method to extract the old man’s soul and swallowed it. After closing her eyes for about five seconds, she opened them and said, “This old man joined the tomb-raiding gang seven days ago. He only knew that they were serving a person called Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple… They captured Liu Shishi to offer her to the Grand Master.”
Xu Yang frowned and asked, “Where is Xuan Mountain Temple? And who is that Grand Master?”
Yun Mengxi shook her head, “His memories don’t contain that information… Oh, and this old guy is also a rapist. He used witchcraft to deceive many innocent women in the past… Junior Harrison, good kill!”
Xu Yang had no time to care about these matters now. He said, “There is a divine power protecting the bodies of those two young men, bestowed by the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple. If you refine their souls, maybe you can get some clues.”
Yun Mengxi proceeded to use her secret arts.
However, she was soon surprised, “How can this be… These two people… they have no souls?”
“Could it be that their souls have already entered the Underworld Palace?”
Yue Yuluo, who was at the side, commented.
Yun Mengxi shook her head, “After a person dies, their soul does not leave the body for a short time… After the soul transforms into a ghost, and the seventh night has passed, only then could it enter the Underworld Palace… Now that the Yin-Yang Path is broken, it is uncertain whether they can enter the Underworld Palace even after the seventh night!”
