I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 56 Du Huairen out of control

"Oh no, he's going to lose control!

"Qingyun, step back. I'll come to rescue them!"

Lu Zhen made a judgment at the first moment and gave instructions promptly.

His voice was still vague, like a whisper from another world, but Li Qingyun could hear the urgency in it and retreated to the door without thinking.

With his strength at the First Realm, even if he unleashed his "Burning Blood" magical power, it would be difficult for him to confront a psychic who had lost his mind head-on, let alone save people?

But there were two masters, Lu Zhen and Yang Paifeng, in the room, so he was not scared to run away, but just avoided the attack temporarily.

At this time, Du Huairen's originally calm and solemn face had begun to distort violently, his muscles bulged and kept wriggling as if they had life.

He let out a series of gasping sounds that seemed to come from the underworld, and colorful and slippery tentacles suddenly emerged from the sleeves of his brocade robe.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen gritted his teeth, and his bright and clear pupils suddenly turned as dark as ink. He stretched out his five fingers and tried to communicate with Du Huairen's polluted and corrupted spirit to "pacify" him.

But his recent injuries had not yet healed, and struggling to use the spiritual power put a heavy burden on his body. In just a blink of an eye, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he seemed to be in great pain.

"Ow..."

Du Huairen finally let out a roar full of madness, and blood flowed from his eyes, which were shining with dark red light. There was no rationality left in them, and it seemed that he would explode and self-destruct at any time.

Suddenly, a black fire stick appeared out of nowhere in the air and smashed towards him. As he roared madly, it hit the "baihui" acupoint on the top of his head squarely.

A thick, pure, fiery light suddenly burst out, enveloping Du Huairen's entire body.

In an instant, it seemed as if countless suns rose up all around, and the dazzling light made Li Qingyun unable to look directly at it.

Du Huairen's body began to evaporate rapidly under the strong glow. His flesh and blood melted away, like snow turning into blood when encountering flames. His bones also gradually turned into blurred mud, like a burnt candle.

The melted flesh and blood slowly flowed around him, emitting a sickening smell. The whole scene was weird and terrifying, like a nightmare from the depths of hell.

This powerful man who had just been promoted to the third realm died mysteriously in front of them.

His contaminated evil energy was absorbed by the "Soul Devouring" magical power in an imperceptible way and transformed into Li Qingyun's blood and energy.

[Remaining Qi and blood: one hundred and twenty-seven souls].

……

Lu Zhen took a half step back, his body swaying as if he was about to fall down. After being supported by Li Qingyun, a rare burst of anger appeared in his usually calm and gentle eyes.

"what are you doing?"

This sentence was not directed at Li Qingyun, but was said to Yang Paifeng who killed Du Huairen.

"What? To save your life, of course!"

Yang Paifeng put the fire stick back into his waist and said righteously.

Lu Zhen's handsome face was distorted with anger:
"I don't need you to save me. Give me some more time and I can calm him down!"

Yang Paifeng sneered, not flinching at all because of Lu Zhen's aggressive momentum, and said mercilessly:
"You people in Kaifeng Prefecture are really not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind. Du Huairen's spirit has been polluted, and it is inevitable that he will lose control. Even if you manage to save him, he will be a stupid lunatic at best. Moreover, in your current state, it is almost impossible to comfort a person who has lost control. If you delay for a few more breaths, I am afraid you will also lose your mind. By then, I am afraid that even I may not be able to control the situation.

"If you are not afraid of death and want to be a hero, don't drag the hundreds of ordinary people here to be buried with you!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhen's handsome face was slightly depressed. He understood why Yang Paifeng made such a choice, but he couldn't accept it emotionally. He muttered in a delirious voice:

"But...but that's also a life!" Yang Paifeng disagreed:

"Everyone will die. If you want extraordinary power, you must be aware of this!"

One of them is compassionate, the other is decisive and ruthless. They are tit for tat and neither of them gives in.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Li Qingyun quickly changed the subject and said:
"Why did Du Huairen lose control when he was fine? Didn't he successfully complete the promotion?"

After hearing this, Lu Zhen came back to his senses and said with a frown:

"It's just a simple dream to search for memories. Even if he has just been promoted and his spirit body is not stable enough, he won't lose control on the spot. Maybe there is something wrong with his memory. I can try to communicate with him, but in my current state, I may not be able to get too many details."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Paifeng and heard the other party say coldly:
"Don't worry, I will show no mercy if you lose control."

Lu Zhen smiled bitterly:
"Thank you for your kindness..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun pulled Lu Zhen's sleeve and said:
"Fourth brother, why don't you just forget it? You are injured..."

Lu Zhen shook his head, patted his shoulder and said:

"It's okay. I still have some ability to protect myself. It's not that easy to die."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and concentrated, then used meditation to communicate with the spirit world...

Li Qingyun looked at the motionless Lu Zhen quietly, not daring to breathe, for fear that he would become as irrational as Du Huairen in the next moment.

……

After a moment, Lu Zhen opened his eyes again, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly:

"Someone has planted a spirit seed in him. As long as the time is right, the spirit seed will be detonated, causing his spirit body to collapse and fall into madness."

Hearing this, Li Qingyun suddenly seemed to understand something and asked:

"Did you see who planted the spiritual seeds for him?"

Lu Zhen looked at Li Qingyun and answered word by word:

"It's that 'Spiritual Witch'!"

really!

Although Li Qingyun had a premonition, his heart still sank when he heard the news.

What a terrifying spirit seed, it could actually kill a master who had entered the third realm without anyone noticing. If I hadn't met Lu Zhen and hadn't been blessed by the gods, I might have died like Du Huairen, in an unclear and extremely miserable way.

Lu Zhen continued:

"Through spiritual communication, I also saw the identity of the 'spiritual wizard'. He is Qiu Wang, the head of Xuanwu Pavilion. Although I have never met him, as far as I know, he passed away ten years ago. I didn't expect that he is still alive now, and has been promoted to such a high level."

When hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Qingyun felt a sense of relief, because knowing the identity of the spiritual witch, Kaifeng Prefecture could arrest him and bring him to justice.

But the second half of Lu Zhen's words extinguished the flame of his hope.

Where are they going to catch a dead person?
