Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 412: Execution without Obstacles
At the foot of Mount Li, there were huge crowds of people, and the traffic was so dense that no one could get through. These people had come from all over the place after hearing the news to watch Xiandao Temple kill the most evil demon in the world.

With Mars guarding the heart in recent months, there have been rumors that Mars is Wuzhai, and that natural disasters in various places are all caused by Wuzhai angering the heavens. As long as Wuzhai doesn't die, the punishment from heaven will not stop.

There are also rumors that Wuzhan is the son of the deceased general Li Mu, and that if he enters the court as an official he will endanger the people and disrupt the government, causing endless wars throughout the country and suffering for the people.

There were also rumors that a meteorite had fallen from the sky a few days ago, with the words "Wu Zhan was the one who destroyed Qin." Another piece of news came from the ministers in the court that Wu Zhan had colluded with Meng Yi and betrayed the country, causing 100,000 cavalrymen to be buried in the desert.

There are also rumors that Wuzhan is the leader of the Nitian Sect, and all the actions of the Nitian Sect over the past hundred years are blamed on him.

……

The more the crowd talked, the more they spread the disaster, and the more certain they became, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. In the end, they were filled with righteous indignation, and no one knew who started shouting the slogan, "Kill all those who are without obstacles, kill all those who are without obstacles,..." One cry became louder than the other, one wave higher than the other, and finally it was a roar that shook the world.

Amidst a tide of cheers, more than a dozen disciples from the Xiandao Academy pulled Wuzhan by the chains and dragged him to the altar.

Xu Shi, Lie Feng, Dao Xing and others, each of them with dignified and cold manner, followed behind. Xian Dao Yuan had recently been traveling around the nine states, eliminating disasters and slaying demons, defending the way and eliminating evil. It also blocked millions of troops from Magadha at Mount Buzhou, enhanced the prestige of the Qin state, and caused King Ashoka to suffer a tragic defeat. The Maurya Empire was destroyed from then on, and Xian Dao Yuan had won the hearts of the people.

The sky had been blood red for months, but when Wuzhan was brought to the altar, the blood faded and the sun appeared again. The people cheered and became more convinced that Xiandaoyuan was their savior and Wuzhan was the evil demon who harmed the world. "Kill Wuzhan! Kill Wuzhan!..." their voices became louder and louder.

The people in Xiandaoyuan became more confident as they shouted, and no one tried to stop them. They seemed to be enjoying the tsunami-like cheers, as if the whole world was in their hands.

Among the crowd were anti-Qin heroes Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai, Peng Yue and others. Fan Kuai followed the crowd and shouted angrily, "Kill Wuzhan!..." Zhang Liang was thinking quietly. After learning about what Li Zhan had done after changing his name to Wuzhan and entering the court, these anti-Qin heroes hated him so much that they all scolded Wuzhan for taking his enemy as his father and being an accomplice of the tiger. The news of Li Mu's son was spread out of their hatred with the purpose of alienating Wuzhan. But now, Zhang Liang had a vague premonition that Wuzhan was not what they thought.

Xia Kexin and Bai Haotian looked at the altar from afar. After returning to Huashan, she learned that Wuzhan was about to be executed, so she hurried here. Xia Kexin felt heartbroken when she saw Wuzhan's miserable state. She knew the truth, but would the world listen to a weak woman like her? Bai Haotian grabbed Xia Kexin's hand, fearing that she would break free, and rushed forward.

Bixia's face was very calm, but her heart was in turmoil. The past was still vivid in her mind. No one had ever been able to break into her heart like Wuzhan and bring her the throbbing like floating clouds. She did not believe those rumors. She knew clearly what Wuzhan was doing and why he was doing it, but he had failed.

Miaoxin held the hilt of the sword in her hand, as if the sword would fly out of her body in the next moment. Bixia noticed the movement of Miaoxin's hand and ordered in a deep voice: "You must not act rashly today. Taishan Sect is handed over to you."

Famous Taoist sects such as Feijian and Linyazi were also among them. They also knew the truth, but because of their different positions, they naturally could not tell it out. Moreover, the task assigned to them by their backers was to ensure that Xiandaoyuan successfully killed Wuzhan.

Yun Chu was also in the crowd. When she heard the news of Wuzhan's return, she saw this result when she rushed over. She knew that it would be in vain if she went up with her meager strength. She just came to see Wuzhan for the last time.

Xu Shi felt that the time had come. He looked up at the sky and raised one hand. After a moment, the shouting stopped. Xu Shi took out a long piece of thin silk and read aloud:

"Wu Zhan's original name was Li Zhan. He was the son of Li Mu, a general who lost his country. He colluded with Meng Yi, deceived the First Emperor, formed a clique for personal gain, excluded dissidents, and ruined the government and brought disaster to the country and the people. Nine years ago, Wu Zhan devoured a vicious demon in Changping. Xuan Nu failed to seal it. Xian Dao Yuan and the famous and upright sects besieged him together, and he was eventually killed by the Saint's sword. Unexpectedly, the vicious demon resurrected, killing people by nature and liking war, causing the ghosts of the wronged to linger and the people's livelihood to wither. Four years ago, Xian Dao Yuan went to the East China Sea to pray for Daqin, and the vicious demon followed. Three thousand boys and girls were all swallowed alive by the vicious demon, causing the divine power to descend from the sky and kill it. Unexpectedly, the vicious demon resurrected again. After returning, He colluded with the Western Magadha Kingdom and led an army of eight million to destroy our Great Qin. In order to make Qin empty, the evil demon gave 100,000 cavalry and 300,000 horses to the enemy country. If it were not for the resistance of our Xiandao Academy and the famous families in the world, the evil demon would have slaughtered all the people in the Great Qin. During this period, the Nitian Sect was the enemy of the world, burning, killing and looting, causing disasters to the people, a sharp decline in population, and angering both humans and gods. Its crimes are too numerous to list. The punishment from heaven is coming. Xu Shi, in accordance with the order of heaven, will kill the evil demon and bring peace to the world. "Xu Shi finished reading in one breath, and every word was heard by everyone. Seeing thousands of people listening attentively, he felt very satisfied.

After hearing the long indictment, the crowd was filled with indignation. "Kill the evil demon! Kill the evil demon!..."

Xu Shi raised his hand, and the shouting stopped immediately. He continued, "Such a vicious demon, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart if I just killed it. My Xiandao Academy has prepared an arrow for everyone present, so that everyone can avenge their lost relatives."

As soon as this sentence was shouted, the crowd became chaotic and scrambled for bows and arrows. Everyone wanted to shoot an arrow and vent their anger.

The disciples of Xiandao Academy distributed arrows, "Don't be chaotic, everyone has a share!"

Xu Shi leaned down and whispered into Lanni's ear: "Are you satisfied with my indictment, sir?"

Wuzhan had already woken up, but his eyes were still closed. The corners of his mouth were slightly grinning. "I've basically told you all my life stories. And this arrow is quite novel."

"Don't you feel wronged?"

"Unfair... or not..., a real man standing between heaven and earth would not care about the curses of the world. These cannot defeat me."

Xu Shi took a step back, and the arrows flew towards him and all landed on the mud. In an instant, the mud was filled with arrows, like a reed field on a lake.

After the disciples of Xiandao Academy pulled out the arrows, the mud was filled with arrows again. This cycle was repeated and tens of thousands of arrows had been removed.

Xia Kexin burst into tears, her heart ached beyond measure, she bit the hand covering her mouth fiercely, it was Bai Haotian's hand. Miaoxin was already squatting in the crowd, covering her face and crying, unable to bear to watch any more.

Bixia still looked at the motionless body quietly. Every arrow shot into his heart. The pain was unforgettable.

Fei Jian was a little puzzled. What was going on with this Anti-Heaven Sect? Was he going to be executed just like that?

Fan Kuai also shot an arrow and said, "Finally, I got rid of my anger!" He handed the bow and arrow to Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

A long time had passed, and Xu Shi raised his hand, "Everyone is done, let's see how tenacious this evil demon's life is." The Xiandao Academy disciples struggled to pull Wuzhan up, and Wuzhan's head drooped down, proving that he was a body. "He is still breathing, and he is still alive after being shot by so many arrows. This shows that what I said is true, he is the evil demon that endangers the world."

"Kill him! Kill him!..." Another crazy shout.

Mayor Xu raised his hand again, and this time it was quieter than before. Mayor Xu took out a porcelain bottle and said to the crowd: "Here is a bottle of heart-piercing water. As long as the wound touches this heart-piercing water, it will cause severe pain. Let's see his reaction." As he said that, he sprinkled the water in the porcelain bottle all over the mud.

"Swish..." White smoke came out of the mud and it kept shaking. The crowd began to boil.

Bixia was still watching quietly, tears streaming down her face, and blood was flowing from her clenched fists.

Xu Shi leaned close to Wuzhe's ear again and said, "As long as you admit your crime, I will not torture you like this and let you die quickly."

Wuzhe's lips trembled as he uttered a tiny voice, "Okay... I... promise... you."

Xu Shi laughed loudly, raised his hand, and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, this evil demon is willing to admit his crimes. Let's listen to him."

The crowd was silent, but some of them could no longer bear to see Wuzhan being humiliated, and they looked at Wuzhan, waiting to hear the sound of surrender.

The mud trembled and raised his head, opened his bloodshot eyes, and looked up at the sky instead of at the crowd. "I..., Li Zhan, do... all this for... only... one purpose, to destroy... all the immortals in the heavens, and... also..." He raised his mouth and shouted to the sky, "Freedom for the world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd booed. They didn't expect Wuzhan to go crazy at such a point and talk nonsense. It seemed that he was really crazy.

Those famous families were shocked in their hearts, because they knew the truth, they realized that Wuzhan was not talking nonsense, he really dared to fight against the heaven. Compared with Wuzhan, they felt inferior. They had too many concerns and could not let go of too many things, and they did not have the courage to stand up, but they already had admiration in their hearts.

Mayor Xu didn't expect Wuzhan to be so stubborn. This shout made him even more embarrassed. "Pull him to death!" Upon hearing this, the disciples of Xiandao Academy suddenly pulled hard. Buzz..., the chain immediately pulled Wuzhan free. The chain hummed, the bones broke, and blood flowed along the chain.

Seeing such a tragic scene, someone in the crowd shouted, "Stop torturing him, just kill him!" Then someone else followed suit, "Kill him! Kill him!..." More and more people shouted, which caught City Xu off guard.

Xu Shi raised his hand to stop the shouting, "According to Qin law, those who do not confess their guilt will be punished to death."

"Since he's already been convicted, there's no need to torture him any further. Just kill him." Someone else in the crowd shouted. His voice was clear and many people heard it.

Xu Shi laughed, "There is no need to hide things now. The reason we use torture like this is to force the Anti-Heaven Cult to show up so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop. Everyone, please wait patiently. I don't believe that the Anti-Heaven Cult will watch their lord being executed and remain indifferent. Or maybe they are really scared." This was undoubtedly a provocation to the Anti-Heaven Cult who were lying in ambush in the crowd, but after the words were spoken, no one rushed up. Could it be that there were no people from the Anti-Heaven Cult here?

"The Anti-Heaven Sect is really patient!" Xu Shi took out the Hunyuan Yuxu Furnace and threw it under the mud. The furnace ignited with a raging flame, burning the mud.

Xu Shi came to Lanni's ear again and said, "This fire will burn your soul bit by bit. Let's see how long you can hold on."

Some people in the crowd could not bear to watch it any longer. They thought that Wuzhe still refused to surrender despite such torture, which must be a great injustice. So some people shouted angrily, "Release him!"

Soon after, the calls for releasing the prisoners became louder and louder. Some people were crying and were so excited that even the famous families started shouting.

Fan Kuai cursed, "Purple fish and rice Xiandaoyuan, this is too much." Then he turned to Zhang Liang and said, "This Wuzhan is a real man."

Zhang Liang seemed to understand something. He slapped his thigh and said regretfully, "Oh no, we all blamed him wrongly!"

Bixia couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to rush forward. Even if she wanted to end her life, it would be better than watching Wuzhan suffer such torture. However, she was held down by a big hand. She turned around and saw the red-haired old man who had solved Taishan's troubles. He only heard the old man say, "My lord, you know your limits. It's okay!"
