Old Li's mouth opened wider and wider; he clearly recognized Dan Liang.
The people around him were somewhat bewildered, but then someone remembered the words "Warden" and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Holy crap! Warden? He's the leader of the Bonfire, the Warden?"
"No way, how could the Warden be so young?"
"Yeah, I heard the Warden single-handedly resolved a Tide of Evil back then, how could he be so young?"
"Why not? Didn't you see these chains that can dissolve evil spirits? Besides the Warden, who else would use such chains?"
"Wuwuwu, if it's really the Warden, then we're saved!"
Someone in the crowd even started crying excitedly, and Old Li's mouth widened by another two points after hearing that.
Click.
His jaw was dislocated.
The soreness in his joints made his saliva begin to secrete, making him look a bit foolish.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The Daolao Ghosts roared furiously, and a rain of poisonous arrows attacked again!
Old Li quickly raised his hands, and the Five Directions Revealing Truth blocked in front of everyone, but he was somewhat exhausted at this moment, and the Five Directions Revealing Truth was easily broken as if it were made of paper.
Looking at the incoming arrow rain, many people closed their eyes in despair.
Whoosh!
Chains, accompanied by a scraping sound, stretched out in front of everyone, instantly forming an impenetrable wall!
Everyone closed their eyes and waited for a long time, but felt no pain. Cautiously opening their eyes, they saw a scene they would never forget.
The Daolao Ghosts, which had almost taken their lives, were now all suspended in mid-air, their necks bound by iron chains!
Scarlet mist continuously overflowed from their bodies, being transformed and absorbed by the iron chains.
"This, this..."
Everyone watched in stunned silence, momentarily at a loss for words.
Whoosh~
A wind arose from nowhere, and those strangely deceased corpses slowly floated up with the sound of the wind.
From their originally empty abdominal cavities, black hands extended, swaying gently with the breeze, colliding with the inner walls of the abdominal cavities.
Just like 'corpse wind chimes'!
Old Li stared blankly at the scene before him, and the reactions of the people around him were much the same, as if their minds had been taken by the sight.
Pat-a.
Pat-a pat-a.
The corpse wind chimes 'swayed with the wind,' making sounds similar to applause.
They sounded somewhat muffled, making people feel very oppressed.
Dan Liang pressed the briefcase, and a long saber popped out, which he held firmly in his hand.
The damaged ground rapidly decayed, and layers of red rust began to spread.
This place had also been assimilated into the Spirit World, which was definitely bad news for the people of M City.
Gurgle~
Ripples spread across the ground, and an octopus-like evil spirit slowly rose from underground—it was the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui!
Without a single superfluous word, out of instinct, Dan Liang launched an attack immediately.
The Dianxing Chains shot out with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, piercing through, and the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui did not dodge or evade, allowing the iron chains to pierce it.
Scarlet blood mist rose again; if it were an ordinary evil spirit, it would have been refined and absorbed by now.
But the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui not only showed no signs of shrinking, but instead inversely devoured the Dianxing Chains!
As both sides devoured each other, a strange balance was formed.
The red mist vibrated, and the long saber in Dan Liang's hand once again grew scarlet flesh, with a single eye on the hilt opening and looking askance.
The smile on Dan Liang's lips became increasingly exaggerated, and he licked his lips, saying,
"Hungry Ghost Tai Sui, hahahaha, it really is the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui!"
"Little evil spirit, come to big brother, big brother isn't a good person~"
Wuwuwu~
The cry of the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui was like a suppressed sob, muffled and indistinct.
Its body vibrated, and tentacles extended from the holes on its surface, tightly wrapping around the Dianxing Chains.
The tentacles looked slimy and greasy, and as soon as they touched the Dianxing Chains, a corrosive sound was emitted.
The red light from the long saber in Dan Liang's hand grew brighter and brighter, and he raised it high, chopping down with one strike!
Swish!
Woo~
The Hungry Ghost Tai Sui was directly split open by Dan Liang, but before Dan Liang could deliver a finishing blow, the split place began to rapidly expand!
Dan Liang watched as the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui turned from one into two, both identical in size and aura to the original one!
Completely defying the law of conservation of energy!
The recovery ability of the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui lived up to its reputation.
But Dan Liang always felt something was off; the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui and the corpse wind chimes floating in mid-air didn't seem to be together.
There was a deep sense of incongruity between the two; although both were evil spirits, in Dan Liang's eyes, it was like the difference between Caucasians and Africans.
'Could it be that the true core evil spirit within this Laboratory isn't the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui?'
Just as Dan Liang was pondering, the corpse wind chimes floating in mid-air all opened their eyes!
They seemed to have come back to life, emitting screams that sent chills down one's spine.
Those screams were extremely harsh when isolated, but when combined, they possessed a strangely beautiful quality.
Like a hymn!
Dan Liang had heard this sound before, back in that Spirit World!
Whenever the Guardian of the Tomb approached, this sound would resonate around, just like background music!
At that time, it had tormented Dan Liang quite a bit.
However, the current Dan Liang was no longer the nobody he used to be.
The Dianxing Chains directly pierced the corpse wind chimes in mid-air, easily penetrating them.
But just as the chains exerted force to dismember them, the Hungry Ghost Tai Sui extended tentacles and fought with the Dianxing Chains.
At the same time, the 'singing' of those corpses grew louder.
Old Zhang, Old Li, and others, who had been like walking corpses, were now all bleeding from their seven orifices, looking horrifying.
Dan Liang couldn't help but frown; these people couldn't die now, they were all witnesses!
He was the witness who uprooted a Laboratory that collaborated with evil spirits to kill people!
He was an innocent bystand 'forced' into this matter.
To protect them, he could only ransack... purify the Laboratory.
Very reasonable, isn't it?
Dan Liang took a deep breath, his eyes turned scarlet, and his voice became a little heavier.
"All Buddhas and Dragon Elephants!"
As his voice sounded, the surrounding red mist frantically gathered behind him, and a great Buddha of flesh and blood slowly emerged.
At the same time, bursts of Sanskrit chants also began to resound.
Old Zhang, Old Li, and others, whose faces were contorted with ferocity, were bathed in the Sanskrit chants, and their expressions eased somewhat.
This great Buddha was the one Dan Liang had previously taken into the Scarlet Gate in the Spirit World!
Now, it could be said to have 'achieved enlightenment.'
Aside from anything else, its dragon-elephant halo behind it was the best symbol!
Of course, if that halo wasn't made of flesh and blood, it would be even more convincing.
The corpse wind chimes also seemed to feel uneasy, their voices becoming increasingly sharp.
The Hungry Ghost Tai Sui, on the other hand, was wrapped into a large ball by the Dianxing Chains, completely suppressed.
Just as Dan Liang was about to deal with those corpse wind chimes, a sound like a frog's croak rang in his ear.
"Croak!"
