Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 224 Rescue? But I'm here to kill too!

"buzzing"

The moment the black rune rain fell, the flying insects that had not yet entered their cocoons frantically flapped their wings.

They may either continue to burrow into their cocoons or turn around and flap their wings to rush towards the runes falling from the sky.

The two insect swarms, seemingly locked in a life-or-death struggle, clashed fiercely above the cocoon.

Large swarms of flying insects turned into dust, their remains mixed with the dust scattered from their wings, making it seem as if a thick layer of haze was suspended above the cocoons.

The black rain of runes was difficult to break through and was constantly being worn down!
Wu Junzheng snorted coldly. No matter how many he killed during the day, new flying insects would emerge from his body, seemingly endless.

Now the whole city has been eaten clean. I'll see if you really can't kill them all!

Are you still thinking about hatching that evil spirit below?

With his eyebrows raised, Wu Junzheng's body was covered in black runes that rose high like fascia. The runes were of varying thickness, winding and intertwining, forming a mysterious pattern on Wu Junzheng's body.

As Wu Junzheng breathed, the black inscription slowly writhed, its interior flowing with a kind of black light, like blood vessels.

Li Wushou could see it clearly; it was the power of the Golden Core mixed with essence, energy, and spirit!
Wu Junzheng's golden core was actually this skin with black inscriptions?

In the blink of an eye, the power of the Golden Core flowed throughout his body, and Wu Junzheng's height suddenly increased, transforming him into a three-zhang-tall giant with a completely black body and no face.

The moment the giant appeared, he plummeted from the sky, letting out a loud roar that sounded like thunder!

"open!"

The black giant that Wu Junzheng had transformed into had runes wriggling on his right arm, and a runic greatsword appeared out of thin air in his hand. The moment Wu Junzheng gripped it tightly, he slashed down at the gray-powder haze beneath him!

A streak of black light pierced through the thick fog, blasting open a portal in the heavy dust and creating a crack in the eerie force field surrounding the cocoon.

Wu Jun leaped down, raising his rune-inscribed greatsword high in both hands, and using the momentum of the falling sky, slashed at the giant cocoon!

Li Wushou looked at the runic greatsword that Wu Jun was holding high, and unconsciously looked down at the rib-shaped magic sword in his hand.

Although the rib sword had grown to three feet nine inches due to the infusion of Yin and Yang power, it was still as small as a toy compared to a real greatsword!
The crimson magic sword trembled, its blade emitting a soft hum, as if it were somewhat dissatisfied with this comparison.

Li Wushou chuckled lightly, withdrew his gaze, and looked back at the center of the square.

The runic greatsword that fell from the sky had already struck the cocoon.

"Crack!"

The cocoon cracked open with a vertical line, and the huge impact sent up a cloud of dust. Wu Junzheng's body was covered in flowing light, which kept the dust away.

But he wasn't happy about breaking open the cocoon, because at the same time he heard a sound: "Clang!"

As the metal clashed, his runic greatsword became stuck inside the cocoon!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the cocoon, and the force field that Wu Junzheng had broken through was gathered again.

Just as Wu Jun was about to draw his rune-inscribed greatsword to strike again, the cocoon suddenly collapsed to both sides, and a huge pair of black silk-like wings slowly unfolded in the square.

The moment the wings unfolded, the cocoon collapsed with a roar, turning into fine ash that adhered to the wings!
At the same time, the evil spirit wrapped inside the wings slowly unfolded its form.

This evil creature had a slender body, with fine abdominal armor covering its front, and four pairs of limbs covered with barbs on either side of its body.

As it stretched out its body, the evil spirit slowly raised its head. Its flat head had a gaping mouth that ran across its face, and its fine, sharp teeth were covered in mucus. Two huge compound eyes were on the top of its head.

Upon closer inspection, the numerous tiny facets in the compound eyes turned out to be distorted human faces, seemingly encompassing the entire city.

The moment the evil spirit appeared, the shadowy figure stared intently at the two compound eyes, the very soul he longed for residing within them.

Li Wushou naturally noticed the shadowy figure's reaction, but he didn't rush to make a move. He carefully observed the evil spirit that had revealed its form, and for some reason, he had a strange sense of familiarity with it.

It wasn't the aura or appearance, but rather the trace of magic he saw in this evil spirit.

This evil spirit was indeed not born naturally, but was raised by humans!
Just as Li Wushou was pondering, the mysterious evil spirit's form changed again, slowly shrinking.

The abdominal armor in front of the opponent increased at a visible speed, and the force field in the square became increasingly distorted.

When its size shrank to about ten feet, the evil spirit raised its head and let out a roar, then flapped its wings and charged toward Wu Junzheng, who was retreating.

Fierce, brutal, and driven by a greedy lust for flesh, the evil spirit rushed to Wu Junzheng's side in an instant.

Wu Junzheng's mind sharpened, and his body flashed with a dark light, reinforcing his protective domain. At this moment, he already had the intention to retreat.

He originally planned to kill the other party before it was fully conceived. Such a strange and evil spirit, even its corpse, could be sold in Haiyuan City to make up for some of his losses.

Unexpectedly, this evil spirit was formed so quickly!
What did my sword strike become?
Wu Jun felt like he was a midwife!

Seeing the evil spirit rushing outside the law domain, Wu Jun calmed his mind and raised his rune-inscribed greatsword to slash at it.

Just then, Wu Junzheng suddenly felt a tug at his brow, and the Dharma Domain gathered around him inexplicably trembled. He subconsciously looked at the evil spirit, whose two compound eyes were staring intently at him!
He then realized that the other party's compound eyes were filled with distorted human heads, and he even saw some familiar figures among them. At this moment, these distorted heads were also looking at Wu Junzheng, their mouths open, silently hissing.

Wu Junzheng felt dizzy and nauseous, followed by a sharp pain between his eyebrows.

"Click~!"

With a crisp sound, Wu Junzheng's domain of power was covered in cracks.

The evil spirit flapped its wings again, directly shattering Wu Junzheng's domain of power, and fiercely charged in front of Wu Junzheng.

Four pairs of abdominal limbs, gleaming with a cold light, stabbed towards Wu Junzheng like eight long spears!
"what!"

Wu Jun was terrified and let out a roar. The intense pain between his eyebrows made it difficult for him to concentrate and manipulate the runes. He had been too careless!
The rune greatsword met the opponent's limbs head-on. The instant they made contact, it suddenly transformed back into black runes, wrapping around the limbs. However, there were too many limbs, and Wu Junzheng was unable to restrain them all in a short time!

"Chucky!"

Three abdominal limbs broke through the rune defense and pierced Wu Junzheng's body!
The massive impact pierced through Wu Junzheng's body, creating three clusters of blood mist. Wu Junzheng gritted his teeth and tried to retreat, but was held firmly by the sharp barbs on his abdomen.

The intense pain caused the black runes covering Wu Jun's body to slowly fade away, and it wouldn't be long before he dissipated the body of the black giant.

A fierce glint flashed in Wu Junzheng's eyes, and he suddenly shouted, "Explode!"

The black inscription, which had been entangled with the evil spirit's limbs, shattered instantly.

"boom!"

A loud explosion rang out in the void as Wu Junzheng and the evil spirit simultaneously withdrew and retreated.

The evil spirit hovered in mid-air, flapping its wings and emitting painful shrieks as its limbs were blown off one by one.

Ash powder constantly scatters from its wings, instantly transforming into tiny insect eggs upon landing on the severed limbs, which then burst open to repair the evil spirit's abdominal limbs.

Wu Junzheng was equally miserable. His black giant body was covered in cracks and quietly disappeared, turning back into a membrane to cover his body.

The three abdominal limbs that pierced his body disappeared quietly after being blown off, but this was not a good thing, because in his spiritual perception, it seemed that something had entered his body.

After a quick glance, Wu Jun was horrified to find that his flesh was covered with gray-black insect eggs. He immediately thought of those people who had been eaten alive before. Was this how they were parasitized?
His expression changed repeatedly, and Wu Jun's face turned ruthless. The runes on his face flew out and gathered into a black dagger, which he then slashed at the top of his head.

Li Wushou stood aside, his teeth aching. This Wu Jun was actually going to peel off his own skin so that he wouldn't be eaten up by flying insects.
With a thought, Li Wushou stepped out from the shadowy figure.

If you wait any longer, you might damage your own golden core!
Although he originally came for this evil spirit, would he really refuse an extra golden pill?

The evil spirit, whose abdomen and limbs were only partially repaired, saw that Wu Jun was about to skin it. Its hunting instincts made it flap its wings and rush towards Wu Jun.

But then it was suddenly startled, a chill running down its spine.

With a turn of its body, a figure dressed in a yin-yang Taoist robe appeared beside it.

The other party stood quietly in the square, without making a sound, as if it were no different from heaven and earth. It didn't even sense the aura and force field of the law domain, but its instincts made it tremble!
Li Wushou noticed the other person's gaze and a slight smile appeared on his face.

With one step, the person disappears from the spot.

The evil spirit was greatly alarmed, and a gray powder enveloped its body. The heads in its compound eyes roared in unison, distorting the force field in front of it!

A flash of sword light appeared in the void, silent and stealthy!

Li Wushou stepped aside and stood behind the evil spirit, sheathing his sword.

A soft murmur then echoed from the void behind them: "Yin and Yang reversed!"

"Click~!"

A crisp sound came from the evil spirit's body!
This attack, though seemingly simple, was actually a powerful strike that Li Wushou had been preparing for.

With a single sword strike, Yin and Yang are separated within the body of the evil spirit. Then, the Yin and Yang energies are directly guided to reverse within the evil spirit's body in a conflicting manner!
The opponent's defense, like the protective array of Wushi Town, is completely ineffective!

Because its body had already been turned into a pile of dregs by the yin and yang energies!
The dark shadow rose up merrily behind Li Wushou, swaying gently as it awaited his command.

"Go and eat!"

A wailing sound came from behind, and the dark shadow rushed straight at the evil spirit's compound eyes!
Just then, Wu Jun, on the other side of the square, finally peeled his skin off his body.

The inscriptions on the membrane wriggled, and Wu Jun was suspended in mid-air.

Upon seeing Li Wushou standing silently beside the evil spirit, he was first startled, then let out a joyful exclamation:
"Are you a fellow Daoist from Haiyuan City? You've come at the right time! This evil spirit is strange and dangerous; please come and save us!"

Li Wushou glanced at Wu Junzheng's human skin golden core with interest, swallowed hard, and replied softly:
"Rescue? But I'm here to kill too!"

Wow, I got a lot of monthly votes today! Why is that? Thanks for everyone's support. I also wanted to let you all know that this book has been released four times, but the initial subscription was only a little over two hundred, which is quite dismal. However, I wrote it all at once, so I'm not dissatisfied. I stayed focused and wrote the story I wanted to share with everyone. Now, almost two months after its release, it's approaching nine hundred average subscriptions, so it's slowly climbing up. Thank you to all the readers who have supported me. On April 1st, this book received a recommendation slot, its first since release, all thanks to your support! I don't have much to give back, so I've decided to try updating three times a day, at least 10,000 words, starting in April. I can't promise anything more than that, as I have a main job to do and need to support my family. However, the update schedule might be adjusted. With three updates a day, I'll need to secretly write during my work hours. I'll confirm the schedule with you all in advance. I hope those who support this book will continue to support it. If there are too many chapters and everyone starts to "wait and wait" (i.e., read less of the book), the average subscription will drop, and this book definitely won't have a future. Thank you all!
