I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 12: The Faceless Evil God
Li Qingyun was shocked and had no time to think about why Bai Yunrui suddenly attacked. He quickly raised his left arm and placed his right hand on the other person's pulse.

This move called "Iron Chains Across the River" is a unique move in the Five Elements Fist. After he received the initiation of the Holy Spirit, he could use it with greater ease. It looks ordinary, but in fact it combines attack and defense at the same time. It is rigorous and tight, and contains murderous intent. It is simple yet ingenious. It can be said that he has reached the highest level of martial arts.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yunrui's arm trembled slightly, leaving an afterimage, and with a snap, he just pinched Li Qingyun's throat.

Li Qingyun's full-scale defense was of no use at all, because the opponent's speed had exceeded the limits of human beings. Although he reacted, his body could not keep up.

His throat was creaking in excruciating pain, and the sudden and intense feeling of oppression caused his breathing to suddenly stop. The air around him was violently sucked away, and his soul seemed to be forcibly stripped away.

"boom!"

The magical power of "Burning Blood" was naturally activated, and the huge force made Li Qingyun slightly awake. He struggled hard with his neck, and grabbed Bai Yunrui's arms tightly with both hands, tearing them hard.

However, his magical power, which had always been ineffective, lost its effectiveness this time. Although his strength had increased several times, facing Bai Yunrui was still like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar, and he could not shake the opponent at all.

After a moment, Li Qingyun's tongue unconsciously stretched out long, his vision began to blur, and the world around him began to spin. He felt that he was slowly sinking into the invisible darkness, and the fear of dying spread involuntarily in his heart.

At the moment when he was about to die and lose consciousness, the pressure in his throat suddenly eased and cool and refreshing air poured in like an ice spring or nectar.

"Cough...cough..."

Li Qingyun collapsed in the chair and started coughing loudly. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was blue and purple, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

But he still insisted on using the last bit of his spiritual wisdom to put away his magical powers, so as to prevent himself from running out of energy and blood, becoming weak and losing control and going crazy.

Bai Yunrui shook his arms and said calmly:
"I'm sorry for offending you just now. But I have to make sure that you are not contaminated by evil things. This is the most direct and effective method."

Li Qingyun's chest rose and fell violently, and he said weakly:
"Are you satisfied now?"

Bai Yunrui's tone became much calmer:
"You didn't mutate out of control when you were on the verge of life and death, which proves that you were not contaminated by evil. And your martial arts skills are quite good, so it is reasonable that you were able to kill the cultist Ma Tongsu. But I'm curious, how can you resist the erosion of evil?
"In similar cases we investigated, ordinary people who came into contact with this thing would be possessed by foul qi and die suddenly within three days, but you are alive and well, and you are not even affected at all."

Li Qingyun would naturally not reveal the secrets about the "God's Favored One". At the same time, he was furious at Bai Yunrui's arbitrariness and said unhappily:
"I have no idea!"

If you dare, kill me.

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense.

At this time, Fang Shuan shook his big head to smooth things over, and he laughed:

"Boss Li, don't be angry. We in Kaifeng Prefecture are only responsible for investigating cases. As long as you don't commit any crime, we won't care about your secrets. But since you have the ability to resist the invasion of evil spirits, why don't you make good use of it? Help us, and help yourself..."

Li Qingyun looked at Fang Shuan's cunning little bitch eyes and asked vigilantly:

"What do you want to do?"

What are these two guys up to, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop? Fang Shuan smiled and poured another cup of fragrant tea for Li Qingyun:
"Have some tea, hehe, Boss Li, have some tea."

Seeing that Li Qingyun was not moved at all, he did not get angry and slowly explained:
"In the past few months, a new secret organization has emerged in Bianliang City, called the 'Wushi Sect'. They worship an evil god called the 'Faceless Immortal'.

“The puppet in your hand is actually an evil object spread by this organization.

“We don’t know much about it. We only know that there is a large amount of foul air on it. After some strange religious rituals, it can be fed back to the believers of the Wu Shi Sect and help them increase their strength.

"But in fact, all the evil cult members who got this puppet eventually lost control and went crazy without exception, and became... well, you probably saw it too."

Li Qingyun recalled the large patches of corpse spots on the one-eyed man's face, and he couldn't help but clench his teeth, with the muscles on his face trembling slightly.

That was the closest he had ever been to death in his two lifetimes, and because of this incident he dedicated himself to an unknown god. His life changed from then on, and it became uncertain whether it would be good or bad.

I will probably never forget that scene for the rest of my life.

Seeing that Li Qingyun was touched, Fang Shuan blinked his little bitch eyes and continued:
"Some ordinary people accidentally got hold of this treasure, and they all became filthy, had their essence and blood sucked out, and died suddenly. None of them could survive for more than three days. So far, Kaifeng Prefecture has seized two such puppets, and the one in your hand is the third one."

I also died suddenly before. What you see now is actually a time traveler... Li Qingyun muttered to himself, and said calmly:
"You just checked. I'm not a cultist who lost control, and I didn't die suddenly. As for the specific reason, I don't know myself. I can't help you. I'm really sorry."

He knew very well that he was able to survive only because of his "Soul Devouring" magical power, but he naturally could not reveal anything about "Silence" to the Kaifeng Prefecture.

Who knows if Bai Yunrui would mistake him for a worshiper of evil gods and arrest him on the spot after hearing this.

Fang Shuan heard this and shook his big head and grinned:
"Boss Li, we came to you first to confirm whether you are a cultist, but more importantly, we also want to protect you. Don't think that you can avoid the invasion of evil things and sit back and relax. In fact, you are already on the verge of death, do you know it?"

Li Qingyun said coldly:

"Captain Fang, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to scare me."

Fang Shuan was not offended at all, and continued to say with a smile:
“Kaifeng Prefecture has come looking for you today, and within a few hours, anyone interested will get the news.

"And you have the treasure of the Wu Shi Sect in your hand, which can resist its invasion. The cult followers will know this as long as they ask around. At that time, they will all come to you frantically, worshipping you as a follower of the evil god, or using you to refine treasures and medicines. In short, nothing good will happen.

"The Ma Tongsu you killed was just a minor character, but the Wu Shi Sect has powerful people of high status. Once they show up, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with them."

Thinking of the strange pair of eyes that were watching him in Changle Casino, Li Qingyun's expression remained calm, but he had to admit in his heart that what Fang Shuan said made sense. He pondered for a while, sighed and said:
"So what do you want me to do?"
