Chapter 235 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword
A golden light flashed in his eyes
Mu Tong looked up towards the temple gate.
Outside the City God Temple, a figure in a dark blue robe was gripping Gongsun Xun's neck with one hand.
Behind her, the servant, whose teeth had just been shattered by her, had a sunken chest and his mouth was full of minced meat.
It's the High Priest!
Mu Tong suddenly stood up, extremely excited.
She then rode her golden body directly towards the outside of the City God Temple.
The High Priest was new to Wangxian City and unaware of its situation; she worried that the High Priest might suffer a loss.
Even now, it seems like things are in trouble.
Li Wushou, holding Gongsun Xun in his hand, looked at the other's flushed face and asked calmly:
"You're so weak? What do you want to compete in?"
Gongsun Xun's eyes rolled back, and he cursed inwardly. Li Wushou was gripping him too tightly, and he couldn't speak at all.
He had absolutely no idea where this idiot Li Wushou came from, that he dared to openly challenge the authority of the Gongsun family in Wangxian City.
At this moment, the two Foundation Establishment elders standing behind Gongsun Xun finally realized what was happening.
Li Wushou's actions were too fast and too unexpected. They had lived in Wangxian City all their lives and had never seen such a bold and reckless person.
Although Gongsun Xun was only from a collateral branch, he still represented the face of the Gongsun family at this moment.
And judging from the other person's attire, he appears to be a priest.
The two felt it was utterly absurd!
Enraged, he shouted out in a fierce voice:
"Insolence! How dare he offend Gongsun! Kill him!"
Before the words had even finished, the two had already vanished from their spot and rushed towards Li Wushou.
Upon seeing this, the onlookers quickly dispersed behind them, as they too were astonished by this sudden turn of events.
Those who initially noticed Li Wushou were even more in awe, thinking, "Heavens above!"
I thought he was just a pathetic wretch who would only provide amusement, but it turns out he's a ruthless character. However, his fate is already sealed; having openly offended Gongsun, he won't live much longer.
Some people are already eagerly waiting to see Li Wushou's miserable state.
Bai Feng hadn't gone far in his carriage when he saw Li Wushou carrying Gongsun Xun with one hand, and he froze on the spot.
So all he talked about was ignored by the other party!
Bai Feng was young, and he felt uneasy about earning those four taels of silver today, as if he were rushing the other party to their death.
In the arena, two old men rushed to Li Wushou's side.
The old man on the right stretched out his hands, and his two arms suddenly transformed into gnarled vines, wrapping directly around Li Wushou's right arm.
He wanted to break the other man's arm to save Gongsun Xun first.
But when he pulled, the old man's expression changed drastically; it was as if he were pulling a mountain.
At the same time, the old man on the left had murderous intent in his eyes, his body was surging with blood energy, and a flash of blood light appeared on his wrist, from which a white bone dagger flew out, heading straight for Li Wushou's temple.
The dagger had no handle; its end was attached to a blue vein.
Li Wushou glanced at it with interest; the design of this flying sword was quite unique.
Judging from the other person's appearance, it doesn't seem like flesh and bone would regenerate. Could it be that they are just enduring it?
However, all that fancy stuff is pretty useless!
Li Wushou raised his left hand and grabbed the bone dagger.
The sharp sword energy burst forth from his palm, yet it couldn't even sever Li Wushou's skin.
The murderous aura vanished without a sound the moment it entered Li Wushou's body.
The old man on the left was just as horrified as the old man on the right.
Both of them sensed something was wrong, but neither of them could leave immediately.
The old man on the left had his dagger gripped in Li Wushou's hand.
As the old man on the right tried to remove the vines, he suddenly realized that his wood-based magic seemed to be getting out of control.
With a thought, Li Wushou felt a flash of red light under his ribs. The Rib Sword circled around him once before flying back into his abdominal cavity and being stored in his ribs.
"Ahhhh!"
Blood splattered, and two shrill screams came from the side. The two old men withdrew and retreated, their faces showing pain.
The old man on the right had his two arms, which had been transformed into vines, severed at the elbows and fell to the ground, transforming back into the shape of arms.
The old man on the left is clutching his arm; his right arm was also severed at the elbow.
Li Wushou held the white bone dagger in his hand, while the old man's severed arm on his left was hanging in mid-air because of the blue veins connecting it to the white bone dagger.
Looking down at his dark blue high priest robes, Li Wushou was somewhat angry!
He had just forgotten that he had changed out of his Yin-Yang Taoist robe. The priest's robe was not as effective as the Yin-Yang Taoist robe in automatically avoiding the impact of the rib-shaped magic sword, so now there was a tear in his robe.
With a flash, Li Wushou silently appeared beside the old man who had lost an arm. He raised his left arm and plunged the dagger in his hand directly into the old man's forehead.
The screams immediately stopped!
The old man, with a missing arm, had a dagger stuck between his eyebrows, and half of his arm dangling below it. He lay silently on the ground.
It's all that old man's fault. If he hadn't used that fancy white bone dagger, I would never have thought of using the magic sword and ruining my robe.
Looking around the scene, another old man quickly swallowed his scream.
The onlookers erupted in uproar.
Another person has died, and not just any ordinary person, but a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Gongsun family!
Oh no, something terrible is about to happen today!
Some of the more timid ones have already started to leave. Who knows if the Gongsun family will use this as an excuse to lash out and accidentally hurt themselves?
Of course, most people still insisted on watching the spectacle, but they were getting further and further away from the City God Temple.
Bai Feng was stunned when he saw this scene from afar. He had seen the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Gongsun family make a move before. The City God of Wufang City had one of his eyes gouged out with a white bone dagger by the cooperation of these two.
How could a priest solve it so quickly?
Is that a priest?!
If it weren't for the fact that the Foundation Establishment cultivator's life was sacrificed, Bai Feng would have suspected that the gambling dens in the city had bribed the Gongsun family to rig the game.
Silently, Bai Feng drove the carriage to the side and, like the other onlookers, climbed a tree to observe.
He recalled Li Wushou's expressions all along. He had originally thought that the other party had no choice but to accept death.
Now it seems the other party was confident!
But no matter how confident he was, could the other party really stand up to the Gongsun family in Wangxian City? Bai Feng was a little confused! A buzzing sound rang out in front of the City God Temple, and Mu Tong flashed into the air.
Watching Li Wushou kill the Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single dagger, she felt a mix of emotions. She was genuinely happy, but also inexplicably worried. Through Liu Qingmei's reminder, she knew that Li Wushou had a connection with a powerful figure, but she wasn't sure if that person would stand up for him and withstand the pressure from the Suspended Mountain.
"Great Priest"
Mu Tong murmured something, and upon hearing this, Li Wushou slowly turned around, carrying the unconscious Gongsun Xun.
At this moment, Mu Tong was surrounded by the swirling smoke of incense, which concealed the cracks in the golden body and the hollow of his left eye.
But Li Wushou saw through Mu Tong's predicament at a glance. It seems that this little girl has had a tough time lately!
"Lord Mu, it's been a long time!"
Her voice was as calm as ever, and there was still a faint smile on her face. When Mu Tong heard this, her heart warmed. She suddenly felt like crying. She had been really tired lately!
The moment she saw Li Wushou, she suddenly felt less panicked. At worst, she could die with the High Priest!
Seeing that Mu Tong was getting agitated, the Yin-Yang diagram slowly unfolded above Li Wushou's head, and a wooden box fell from the diagram, hovering right in front of Mu Tong:
"Here are the incense sticks I've collected. I'll finish up what I'm doing first, and then I'll catch up with the City God."
Mu Tong looked at the yin-yang diagram above her head and felt a strange sense of familiarity. This diagram looked a lot like the one in the White Paper Taoist Temple.
He subconsciously took the floating box, and before he could say anything, the blood-stained banner that read "Paying back debts is a matter of course" quietly floated up in the center of the room.
Li Wushou then threw Gongsun Xun in his hand at the noodle banner. A red light flashed from his ribs, and the Rib Sword drew a stream of light in the void. Gongsun Xun and the noodle banner were nailed to the red wall of the City God Temple!
The sword pierced through Gongsun Xun's chest, puncturing his lungs. Blood and foam filled his mouth and nose, and he was left barely alive in a daze.
With a flash, Li Wushou grabbed the servant who had been keeping accounts behind Gongsun Xun and pulled him to Gongsun Xun's feet. He then whispered the order:
"Make a note of this: the Gongsun family owes the City God Temple a fine courtyard wall, and they also owe me a high-ranking official's robe!"
The servant was pale and terrified. He only came to his senses when Gongsun Xun's blood dripped onto his head. He hurriedly pulled out his notebook and shakily wrote down Li Wushou's words.
Seeing this, Li Wushou nodded in satisfaction.
A red vertical line quietly appeared between Li Wushou's brows. He slowly walked up to the old man whose arms had been severed and said with an extremely imposing tone:
"The Gongsun family loves competitions so much, but this is all the strength they have? You have fifteen minutes to call for reinforcements."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp shout suddenly came from the void:
"What audacity! I've lived for nearly two hundred years, and this is the first time I've ever heard someone order my Gongsun family to call for help!"
As the sound grew louder and echoed before the City God Temple, an old man in black robes silently appeared in the void, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at Li Wushou and Mu Tong. His divine soul power pressed down, and he asked in a cold voice:
"Tell me! How do you want to die?"
A city god and a priest actually dared to attack members of the Gongsun family. It seems that the Gongsun family has been too mild-mannered all these years!
When the onlookers saw the figure in black robes, most of them were bewildered. Only a few suddenly changed their expressions and then grabbed people they knew and hurriedly retreated behind them.
The companions were puzzled, then they heard hushed gasps of surprise spread through the crowd: "Quick, let's go! It's a Golden Core cultivator!"
The one-armed old man, who had initially been intimidated by Li Wushou, immediately turned from worry to joy upon seeing the black-robed old man and shouted loudly:
"Ancestor Huoyao, the Five Directions City intends to rebel against Wangxian City. We beg you, Ancestor, to execute this wicked man."
Before he could finish speaking, the one-armed old man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that Li Wushou, who had just been in front of him, had somehow appeared beside him.
The other person's two finger bones stretched out, like two red sharp cones, piercing into his skull.
The bone tissue quietly writhed and shrank back to its original shape. Li Wushou shook the bloodstains off his hands. He could feel the desire of the finger bones. In fact, the finger bones wanted to drain the old man's life essence.
Li Wushou also wanted to forcibly suppress his instincts, which made his emotions somewhat violent.
Li Wushou raised his head slightly and looked at the Golden Core cultivator who had suddenly appeared in the sky, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Haven't you heard that the Gongsun family should call for help?"
As he spoke, Li Wushou slowly raised his hand, his palm containing yin and yang, instantly anchoring a yang energy core in front of him, while simultaneously locking the yin energy core around Huo Yao Zhenren.
The Tai Chi symbol swirled in his palm, instantly reversing Yin and Yang, and Huo Yao Zhenren was suddenly teleported in front of Li Wushou.
He was met with a powerful punch from Li Wushou!
Huo Yao Zhenren's expression changed repeatedly. One moment he was furious that Li Wushou had directly killed his Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the next he was horrified to be suddenly teleported in front of Li Wushou!
However, to outsiders, it appeared as if Master Huoyao had rushed in front of Li Wushou in an instant.
The onlookers were all amazed by the decisiveness of the Golden Elixir Master.
Huo Yao Zhenren, the person involved, dared not be careless in the slightest. His divine soul power burst forth, and two fleshy buds as thick as an adult's arm suddenly grew on both sides of his neck.
One is dark green, and the other is blood red.
The moment the two fleshy buds sprouted, they bloomed instantly, and in the blink of an eye, two human heads appeared, both of which were in the shape of women. One had long dark green hair, and the other had long fiery red hair.
The moment the two heads appeared, they suddenly opened their mouths and spat out two streams of pure air at Li Wushou's fist.
One element is green, belonging to wood; another element is red, belonging to fire!
As wood and fire merged, a sea of fire suddenly formed in front of Master Huoyao!
The fire was far hotter than ordinary flames, seemingly capable of melting metal, and large sections of the blue brick pavement in front of the City God Temple melted.
Seeing this, Li Wushou neither dodged nor avoided, but instead unleashed his Yin-Yang Domain, causing his blood and qi to boil as he directly crashed into the raging sea of fire.
Huo Yao Zhenren's expression changed drastically. He felt that Li Wushou was like a ferocious beast, and his divine soul could not lock onto him at all.
The domain of magic surrounding the opponent was as perfectly integrated as the world around Huo Yao Zhenren himself. He was unable to destroy the opponent's domain of magic, just as he was unable to destroy the world, even though the opponent calmly rushed into his sea of fire.
"Bang~!"
Li Wushou punched Huo Yao Zhenren in the chest; this punch was pure qi and blood power.
Huo Yao Zhenren's eyes widened instantly, and cracks instantly appeared on the woman's head on both sides of her neck.
The violent force sent Huo Yao Zhenren flying seven or eight zhang away.
A deep furrow was plowed into the ground in front of the City God Temple.
"Pfft~!"
The moment he stood still, Master Huoyao spat out a mouthful of blood, which was burned away by the flames in front of him before it even hit the ground.
He almost died from just one punch?!
Master Huoyao was terrified; he was quite frightened, and he was certain that his opponent had not used their full strength.
The opponent's Dharma Domain is so strong, he must be at least an Inner Dharma Golden Core cultivator, but he didn't use any spiritual power in that punch just now!
How could this be a high priest? The other party is clearly a Golden Core cultivator with inner power.
At that moment, Master Huoyao wished he could kill the person who delivered the message, but then he paused for a moment, because that person had just died.
Li Wushou's heart stirred as he looked at Huo Yao Zhenren, who had regained his footing.
The rib-shaped magic sword, nailed to the wall, sliced across Gongsun Xun's body and flew directly back into his hand.
The body, now split in two, fell silently, its blood splattering onto the bookkeeper. Blood, flesh, and entrails covered the bookkeeper's face, causing him to collapse instantly and urinate on the ground.
Li Wushou then charged into the sea of fire once again, wielding his magic sword!
