Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 294 A Tragedy Caused by a Crack
The shadow play stopped abruptly when the talismanic performer was inside the human skin he inhabited.

The shadow play here was something he had done on a whim, but now that he had noticed something was wrong, he began to focus his attention.

He had stayed in that room on the third floor countless times over the years. How could he not know when a window was missing?

Moreover, as his mind focused, the talisman master noticed more and more anomalies.

It seems that the power he has accumulated over the years is being rapidly devoured by something.

Has something unclean entered the Dharma Realm?
The talisman master's eyes turned cold as he surveyed his surroundings and shouted sharply:

"What's causing trouble? Show yourself!"

The moment he finished shouting, the black lines emanating from his body suddenly increased, rapidly piercing into the human shadow puppets. He wanted to speed up the enslavement process so that he could have more energy to deal with this sudden change.

Wow!
Suddenly, a dozen or so people stood up in unison directly in front of the stage. Upon closer inspection, they were all spirits in disguise, whose mental cultivation was weaker than that of human cultivators and spirits.

As the puppeteers intensified their enslavement, these spirits were the first to succumb, their minds, captured within the shadow puppets, were bound by strands of black thread.

The black lines coiled and converged into a mysterious black talisman, making the brows of these spirits shimmer with an eerie light, and even the faces of these skins appeared somewhat black.

"Find that filthy thing!"

The talisman master, who was still working hard to refine and enslave the minds of the crowd, gave instructions to the beams of light.

The spirits bowed and accepted the order, then rode their skins toward the three-story building.

At the same time, rustling footsteps could be heard on the small building connected by the white human skin curtain.

Two figures quietly emerged from the second floor.

He was clad entirely in green armor, tall and slender, as thin as a skeleton.

The figure held a long sword in its right hand, which gleamed with green light, while its left hand was held out in front of its chest. It had no palm, but rather the head of an infant.

The infant had a cold expression as he surveyed his surroundings.

Another figure appeared as imposing as a mountain, dressed in a coarse yellow robe with his chest half-open, his smiling face resembling Maitreya Buddha.

But between her breasts grew a blood-red fleshy tumor that was constantly wriggling. In the blink of an eye, an infant emerged from it, hairless and skinless, staring fiercely at the three-story building in front of it!

The talisman master continued to give instructions the moment the two stopped:
"Green Baby, Huangshan, you're going too."

After obtaining the Crimson Makeup Domain, the Talisman Master set up a magic array to gather the power of the boundary in the shattered night sky.

Although this magic array can contain the overflowing boundary power of the Holy Domain itself, since the Holy Domain is ultimately broken and constantly in the process of collapse, if he wants to maintain its stability, he cannot refine it extensively and needs to reintegrate this boundary power into the Holy Domain.

He even incorporated the power of the realm he had painstakingly accumulated from the outside world over decades into it, all for the purpose of one day crossing the threshold of the God Transformation realm, achieving the success of creating a realm in one fell swoop, and instantly becoming a top-tier God Transformation realm expert.

If all goes well, he might be able to catch a glimpse of the Great Venerable realm!
Therefore, although he often fishes in the sacred realm, fish like Green Infant and Yellow Mountain were caught by him before.

But he would never allow any rats to sneak into his granary and steal his stored grain!

The talisman master was focused, but his killing intent was about to overflow!
"Yes! Master!"

Sensing all this, Green Infant and Huang Shan bowed in response, then took a step forward and rushed towards the third floor where Li Wushou was.

Two Nascent Soul auras soared into the sky, enveloping the entire three-story building.

The two of them tacitly controlled their auras and magical domains so that they did not affect the small building where Blood Bodhisattva and the others were located.

In the past, when there were Nascent Soul cultivators who were difficult to enslave and struggled fiercely, they would use this tacit understanding to help the Talisman Master kill them. The number of Nascent Soul cultivators who died at their hands was countless.

But then their expressions changed, and their brows furrowed slightly.

They did not notice anyone in the small building other than the spirits they had just enslaved.

The two entered the room through the window, their pupils suddenly contracting in the next instant.

The two men scanned the tea table with their spiritual senses and, after confirming that no one was sitting there, a man dressed in black and gold robes sat quietly behind it.

The man was none other than Li Wushou, who had just closed the window. He was somewhat surprised to see the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs rushing in; the Black Hand's reaction was truly swift.

He had originally planned to go out and look for him, but unexpectedly, the other party came looking for him instead.

But it doesn't matter anyway, it's all the same!
These two appeared to be Nascent Soul cultivators enslaved by the Black Hand. Judging from the fluctuations in their spiritual energy, they were not as powerful as the founder of the Floating Character Clan, but only comparable to Yunxu Sanren. According to Li Wushou's classification, they should be around the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

For Li Wushou now, this level of Nascent Soul cultivator is no longer a concern.

Li Wushou beckoned to the two of them and said softly:

"bring it on!"

The two people who were still looking at Li Wushou with surprise and doubt suddenly felt a chill.

They couldn't discern Li Wushou's cultivation level, but since their divine senses couldn't detect him, he couldn't possibly be an ordinary person. They could only conclude that his cultivation was far superior to theirs.

The two exchanged a glance. Green Infant, holding the infant in its left hand, let out a sharp shout, while its right hand wielded a long sword that flashed a green rainbow light as it slashed directly at Li Wushou.

At the same time, the skinless infant on Huangshan's chest roared angrily, and its flesh and blood writhed violently as it was pulled out of its mountain-like body, transforming into a blood wolf that lunged at Li Wushou.

When the two of them make a move, they go all out.

Because once they entered the room, they could no longer contact the talisman master.

The binding force that lingered within the nascent soul remained, but the connection between their minds could no longer be established, which must be related to the existence in front of them that their souls could not detect.

They thought that even if this attack couldn't kill their opponent, it would at least destroy the small building so that the talisman master in the courtyard would notice them, thus leaving room for maneuver.

But the next moment, the two of them stood there, somewhat shocked.

The blade light, powerful enough to cleave through the void, vanished into nothingness just ten feet before reaching its opponent.

That area seemed to have an invisible forbidden zone!

When the blood wolf of Huangshan pounced to within one zhang, it broke through the one-zhang limit, but it was pulled in by the other party. The moment the blood wolf opened its mouth to bite, the other party made a grasping motion in mid-air and directly grabbed the blood wolf's neck!

The infant in the green baby's left arm cried out in a pitiful voice:
"The Dharma Realm! This is a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse?"

Huang Shan was in great pain. His nascent soul was being held in the other's hand and examined with great interest. He heard the green infant shout in rebuttal:
"Impossible! The Mustard Seed Ferry left by the master is shrouded in a magic array. If a Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to enter, they would have already self-destructed. The other party must be doing something strange. Quickly break the restriction and notify the master!"

Upon hearing this, Green Infant raised the long sword in his right hand, and the baby in his left hand suddenly turned green, then spat out a mouthful of green saliva towards the long sword.

Saliva was evenly smeared on the long sword, and a crackling sound rang out where the air met the blade.

The saliva seemed to possess extremely strong corrosive properties, scorching the void.

Huang Shan's mind stirred. He knew that Green Infant was serious about this strike. If Green Infant didn't have rare and precious herbs to nourish it, it would take Green Infant at least ten years of cultivation to replenish it!
The opponent couldn't possibly be a Nascent Soul cultivator; this strike will definitely break through the restrictions!

Green Infant's expression was solemn as he raised his long sword. Huang Shan kept a close watch on Li Wushou, secretly protecting Green Infant so that he could safely accumulate power.

"Swoosh!" Huang Shan's heart skipped a beat as a crisp sound of tearing through the void rang in his ears. He was filled with anticipation, staring intently at the direction of the tea table, but the long-awaited blade light did not appear.

Somewhat surprised, he turned around and saw that Green Infant beside him had turned around at some point and slashed at the window behind him with a blade. The blade light shattered the void, and his figure rushed out of the window.

She actually just left him behind and ran away?
Beast!

Huang Shan cursed inwardly, then a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye.

He didn't see any figure, but his protective aura was suddenly crushed to pieces. With a muffled groan, Huang Shan collapsed to the ground.

His blood infant had already shed a large amount of flesh and blood, and now his physical body was just an empty shell protected by the Dharma Domain.

The instant Huang Shan fell to the ground, he saw a figure in black and gold robes suddenly appear in front of Green Infant, who was about to leap out of the window.

Was that silver light his? So fast?

Green Infant was unaware of the silver light, and was therefore even more astonished by Li Wushou's sudden appearance.

Gritting his teeth, the infant in his left hand spat out another mouthful of saliva onto the blade, then raised the long sword in his hand and slashed down.

This strike is a do-or-die situation!
"clang!"

The void trembled, and a violent force burst forth, only to be extinguished within the house.

Li Wushou gripped the Blood Wolf's neck with his left hand, while raising his right hand high, his palm covered by boundary force and gripping the Green Infant's blade.

He didn't expect that the other party would so decisively abandon their companion and run away.

Therefore, in the rush, this strike still broke through the boundary force, severing Li Wushou's skin and flesh and getting stuck in his palm and hand bones.

But that’s all!

With a thought, spiritual energy surged forth, twisting in a Tai Chi pattern, directly shattering Green Infant's longsword.

This longsword, formed from the power of the Nascent Soul realm, is no longer so difficult for Li Wushou to shatter with his current spiritual strength.

"what!"

The baby in Green Baby's arms emitted a sharp, explosive cry!

Li Wushou took a step forward, preparing to take down the other party and Huang Shan, and study the methods by which the mastermind manipulated the puppets.

Just then, Li Wushou suddenly noticed that the cuff of his fluttering robe had a tear on it. Judging from the tear, it must have been cut by the blade energy of the Green Infant Longsword when it broke through the boundary force!
His previously indifferent gaze suddenly turned cold.

Tiger's mother stayed up for three nights to finish this dress!

With a flash of silver light, Li Wushou, riding his Dharma Realm, crashed directly into the Green Infant's Dharma Domain.

The opponent's domain was torn apart like paper, and then a punch shot out from the void and smashed into the green infant's head.

"boom!"

Green liquid splattered everywhere, the green baby fell to the ground, and the infant in the left hand screamed in pain.

"boom!"

With another loud bang, Li Wushou flashed to the side of the green infant's corpse and stomped on the nascent soul in the other's left hand, shattering it.

Huang Shan, who was also lying on the ground, was splattered with green liquid, and some of the flesh on his face was corroded, but he ignored the pain and tried to struggle to get up from the ground.

With murderous intent surging, Li Wushou made a thought, and the Dharma Realm descended from the sky, directly suppressing his opponent on the spot.

Then, standing still and looking down at Huangshan, he felt the blood energy surging from his palms, the extremely yang and powerful blood energy continuously rushing into the nascent soul of Huangshan, which had transformed into a blood wolf.

The scorching yang energy of the blood caused the Blood Wolf Nascent Soul to wail in agony.

As the blood energy was poured in, the entire Blood Wolf Nascent Soul grew larger and larger, and then exploded with a loud bang.

"Boom!"

The Blood Wolf's Nascent Soul shattered instantly, and Huang Shan's physical body, which was still struggling in the Dharma Realm, withered instantly, turning into a handful of ashes.

The Dharma Realm covered his entire body, and the mess on the ground remained untouched, but Li Wushou's mood was still not good.

With one step, one is already standing on the stage outside the house.

His divine soul power emanated from his body, firmly locking onto the piece of human skin where the Black Hand was hiding. Li Wushou asked:
"Who are you from Mount Bulao? Do I need to invite you out?"

The talisman master, who was still intensifying his manipulation of everyone's minds, was horrified when he saw Li Wushou suddenly appear and his expression changed drastically. What terrified him even more was that he realized that Green Infant and Huang Shan were dead!
The two Nascent Soul cultivators died less than twenty breaths after entering the room on the third floor!

How did the other party manage to sneak into the Holy Domain and infiltrate the third-floor room without his noticing?
How did the other party know where he was hiding and even know his background?
The talisman master had no time to ponder the answer to the question; too much horror erupted like a geyser the moment he saw Li Wushou.

With focused concentration, a dark shadow quietly emerged from the human skin curtain.

The shadowy figure was about three inches tall, with a black cat's head, a human body, and a pair of huge black wings on its back.

The source of the black threads manipulating the shadow play within the white human skin curtain is even on these wings. Even when the figure emerges from the human skin, the black threads remain unbroken!

"I am a talisman master from the Immortal Mountain. Who are you, fellow Daoist? Why have you entered my sacred domain?"

It truly is the Immortal Mountain!

Li Wushou muttered to himself, but with a calm expression, he asked again:
"The lineage of the Venerable Food Master?"

The talisman master's eyes narrowed. He knew so much about it?
"Since you know about the Immortal Mountain and the Venerable Eater, you must also be from the Holy Domain?"

A glint flashed in Li Wushou's eyes, and he nodded, casually making up a story:
"Yes! Venerable Porcelain asked me to send my greetings to you!"

???

The talisman master was taken aback. Who greeted me? The Porcelain Venerable? Was the other party also from the Immortal Mountain? The talisman master was somewhat unable to keep up with the sudden change.

Just then, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Then they discovered that a Yin-Yang stone slab was floating in the void above their heads.

The stone slabs flowed in a Tai Chi pattern, and a long-browed nascent soul quietly emerged from them.

The Nascent Soul pointed a finger at the stone slab, and a vast force of boundary energy poured down, directly enveloping the Talisman Master, who was instantly frozen in place.

At the same time, Li Wushou's figure flashed, and a silver light streaked across the sky above the stage. In the instant the talisman master froze, Li Wushou's hand was already gripping the talisman master's neck.

The hand gripping the neck suddenly tightened, while the other hand had already circled behind the talisman master, grabbing the base of the other's black wings and firmly locking them in place.

"Ho!"

With a low growl, Li Wushou exerted force with both hands, tearing the talisman master's wings and body in two!
