The screams were high-pitched, stirring up the mist that rushed to the side.
Magistrate Xue and other county officials retreated far away.
Lu Wu, on the other hand, held the Ghost Head Sword on his back and stood ready.
He also didn't get too close. It wouldn't matter if it was ordinary fog. Such a heavy fog is composed of spiritual energy. Any monk would be disturbed by his spiritual consciousness. He could only rely on his own senses and the spiritual consciousness spread out not far away to observe.
.
The mist was mixed with scorching warm wind. Although it was warm wind, it was as sharp as a knife, as if it could cut open a person's skin and pull out the moisture inside, exposing it to the sun.
The strong smell of blood made it impossible to tell whose it belonged to.
Only a few shadows could be vaguely seen in the heavy fog, as well as many bones piled nearby.
The place where the fog was thickest seemed to be a high platform, blocking his sight.
The people on the high platform had their backs against a roll of black demon banners. The banners stretched and fluttered in the wind, and the demon paintings seemed to come alive and billowed in the mist.
"Hoo~drink~"
Only a low roar was heard, and the strong wind rolled over and separated the majestic fog on both sides.
"boom!"
Just like a raging wave hitting a sea cliff, or like a rolling thundercloud, the fierce wind invades and the fire-like Qi sweeps the mist in front of it to both sides, allowing the scene within the formation to be fully revealed.
It was a Taoist priest wearing tattered robes.
Standing next to the pile of scattered stones with disheveled hair, he stretched out his hand to hold a dull red sword, pressed the head of the alien beast with one hand, and pulled out the magic sword with a sharp twitch with the other hand.
But this was not the thing that surprised him the most. What made him unbelievable was the body that fell in front of the stone platform.
"Lord Wan."
Lu Wu couldn't help shouting, with a look of shock in his eyes, and yelled at the back of the figure who drew his sword: "What have you done? Mr. Wan is a good official who is dedicated to serving the world, how dare you..."
"How dare you kill him!"
Lu Wu was furious, not only because he regretted Wan Yusheng's cultivation and the strength of his fellow practitioners, but also because Master Wan was a truly good official in his eyes.
Don't be pedantic, know how to be flexible, and take the people of the world as your own responsibility.
Such people should have shown their talents, but now they die on the way to success.
The desolate Taoist who stood up with his sword looked sideways at the burly official and said calmly: "A good official?"
"may be."
He didn't know what the court was doing or what its plans were. Maybe he wanted to sacrifice some of the people to accomplish great things, but what was the difference between forced sacrifice and killing? Is it because ordinary people deserved to die because they had no power?
Chi Xuan doesn't understand.
He just felt that it shouldn't be like this.
Sacrifice is worthy of praise, but forced sacrifice only makes people angry.
boom!
The sun is like fire, the sun is scorching.
Daogang divided into more than ten paths and arrived in front of Chi Xuan.
Chi Xuan turned his palm and pinched a magic formula. The red magic shield around him was like a pagoda, motionless.
Those swords that can split gold and break stone cannot shake the pagoda's shield even half an inch.
Chi Xuan grabbed the horns on the alien beast's head and dragged its body toward the outside.
"How can this be?!"
Lu Wu's eyes widened and his horror was palpable.
He was an incense cultivator with a high foundation, and the blade he wielded only left a few traces on the body-protecting shield of the fallen Taoist, which was wiped away by the magic power in the blink of an eye.
Chi Xuan didn't expect that he would become so strong.
He just felt that the incense monk in front of him did not put much pressure on him.
If when facing Wan Yusheng, he felt a sense of life-and-death crisis, then when facing this burly official, he was not nervous, as if the other person's conduct was not worth mentioning.
When Dao Gang attacked, he thought it was a probing move by the opponent and would definitely have a follow-up move, so he directly used his strongest self-defense shield.
Unexpectedly, the burly official who took action froze on the spot and stopped moving.
Chi Xuan dragged the body of the alien beast and appeared in front of everyone.
He immediately spotted the Magistrate of Long County in the crowd.
Back then, he had used a hidden talisman to sneak into the county government office and saw the appearance of the magistrate of Long County. At that time, he had no power and could only blow up the cave underground in Long County. How could he forget such an important thing.
"Magistrate Xue, we meet again." The unshaven Taoist laughed, but the smile was not bright, but instead added a strange and ferocious look to his face.
Magistrate Xue was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to the help of the officials. However, when they met the gaze of the destitute Taoist, the county magistrate, county lieutenant, chief registrar, and scribes... all backed away in fear.
He opened his mouth, like a living fish on the beach, and finally squeezed out a voice: "You...who are you?"
"The explosion in the underground cave of the county government office two years ago should have left a big impression on Magistrate Xue."
"Who is Pindao?"
"I will not change my name in office, nor my surname in office. Zhang Tianbao, the master of Chiyang Palace, is named Chixuan." Chixuan said happily. He said that he must avenge Zhang Xincheng, even if Zhang Xincheng thought it was his fate, he would avenge him.
!
Lin Chixuan added: "It's normal that you haven't heard of Pindao's name. You just need to know that Pindao is here to kill you."
It only took a moment for Magistrate Xue to go from initial fright to rage and finally cold fear. He had been looking for the instigator for two years, but could not find any information at all.
Today, suddenly that person appeared.
But he didn't feel the slightest bit happy. Instead, he felt panicked because the other party's cultivation was so powerful that even the imperial envoy's sword could not break through the protective shield.
He was so strong that he entered Jiming Temple alone, beheaded Lord Wan and killed the strange beasts hidden in the formation.
Being targeted by such a person is like being visited by the King of Hell.
"Why? Gao Xiu, please let me understand this."
Magistrate Xue moved his official uniform and tightened his grip on the official seal hanging around his waist. He still didn't feel safe at all. He could only delay the world as long as possible and wait for the support of the state and county.
Maybe this can still have a chance of survival.
At the same time, he also wanted to know why he had offended such a powerful monk.
Chi Xuan had already seen through Magistrate Xue's trick and did not expose it, because he was equally unhappy: "Two years ago, you kidnapped a child in Ji County. His name is Zhang Xincheng."
For two years, these people had no idea what he had gone through. It was the pain of taking the elixir to the limit that his meridians could bear, and absorbing spiritual energy until his body swelled like a balloon.
That is no longer cultivation, but torture.
After fighting thousands of times and fighting with different monks, he had forgotten how many times he had died.
If there was no faith to support him, he felt that he would die in the illusion, and his consciousness would die with the person.
Finally, he gained the strength he deserved, and now he has become what the Demon Lord calls a foundation-building monk. In fact, he doesn't know what to call his realm, because there are no detailed records in the previous Taoist books.
Magistrate Xue froze on the spot and murmured softly: "Is it because of this?"
In the blink of an eye, he felt like the world was spinning.
His eyes couldn't help but turn away, hey, why did he feel that the body next to him was familiar, and his own consciousness was still falling, as if he had squatted down.
It fell to the ground with a thud.
The gushing blood covered everyone in the surrounding county government offices.
Only then did Magistrate Xue realize that his head had fallen off his shoulders. No wonder he felt that the body was familiar. It was his own.
Chi Xuan's sword finger turned to take out Magistrate Xue's soul and threw it into the soul flag.
Shen Yin said: "I have something to ask of you."
Tu Shanjun smiled calmly, of course he knew what was going on. Since he wanted to take revenge, he had to uproot the chickens and dogs, otherwise it would be endless.
The Incense Array poses no obstacle to Chi Xuan.
He was practicing a major sect, inherited all his skills from Tu Shanjun, and had fought with other monks thousands of times in the illusion. He did not dare to say that he was invincible, at least when facing burly officers and generals, he had no pressure.
Tushanjun had already expected this appearance.
I think back then, Ding Xie, who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to leapfrog and kill the ancestor of the Yuanling Sect who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Now Chi Xuan's combat power is not bad either.
"Gao Xiu, please forgive me. The kidnapping of the child was entirely done by the county magistrate alone and had nothing to do with the child." The county government clerk immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to seek Chi Xuan's forgiveness.
"Forgive me."
"It's none of my business. The previous scribe died of illness, and the younger one has just taken up the post."
"Gao Xiu..."
All the armored soldiers quickly lay down on the ground, not daring to raise their heads and look directly at Chi Xuan.
Just now they saw clearly, the red light flashed, and the county magistrate's head fell to the ground.
It would be no exaggeration to say that such a method is like an immortal.
How could they win with just a little bit of inner strength? It was better to correct their attitude as soon as possible and pray that this wise hero would not argue with these minions.
"Don't kneel to him."
"Killing an official of the imperial court without permission will be punished." Lu Wu jumped out of the pit, holding the ghost head knife and staring at Chi Xuan. Incense surged around his body and condensed armor to cover his body, forming a dharma body.
The mighty body is solid, the face is green and white, and the fangs are protruding, and the powerful clothing on his body has also turned into armor.
This is not his body, but the dharma body condensed by incense.
Lu Wu was not timid and jumped up: "Eat a certain knife!"
"Keng!"
The swords collided loudly. Chi Xuan turned his hand and stabbed the gap with his sword. The magic sword was nailed to Lu Wu's chest, and he said angrily: "Foolish loyalty, the court is unethical and not worth following."
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, don't say anything. Grandpa is not afraid of you."
"Pfft."
The magic sword penetrated Lu Wu's chest, knocking him back two steps and half-kneeling on the ground.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the dharma body around him gradually collapsed, revealing his pale face. Lu Wu gritted his teeth and said sadly: "It's a shame that my cultivation is not enough, so I can't kill the thief to avenge Master Wan..."
"It's really unreasonable."
Chi Xuan used his palm to make a knife, and his magic power condensed into a sharp blade, which he slashed at Lu Wu.
"Bang."
A few phantoms flickered.
A flying sword lay in front of Chi Xuan, blocking the blade he was about to activate.
Chi Xuan held up the magic shield and looked at the newly appeared monks.
They wore green and black official robes, edged with brocade patterns, with many small objects hanging on their waists, and the black gauze on their heads had no fins.
There is not much scent of incense on the body.
There are some acquaintances among the monks.
The man looked at Chi Xuan in astonishment. He seemed to have recognized who the person in front of him was, and exclaimed: "Taoist Priest?!"
