Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 391 Witch Hunt
Chen Xun's face glowed crimson, his muscles bulged, and his body swelled several inches in height, almost reaching the level of the train's roof.

However, it doesn't stop there.

A surge of movement came from behind him, and another arm emerged, then a second, and a third.
In the blink of an eye, four arms stretched out from Chen Xun's body, each one dyed indigo and covered in bulging muscles. Coupled with his ferocious and terrifying face, he looked like a legendary demon who had long lived in hell and was ready to devour anyone.

But actually, it's quite the opposite.

This is the Dharmakaya of Acala in Hanmi (Chinese Esoteric Buddhism). Although it takes the form of an angry being and looks ferocious and terrifying, it is to drive away evil spirits that harass sentient beings and to fulfill the great vow of illuminating the world with great light.

The Kuchan Temple goes a step further, proving only its endless rage against evil and heretics, thus cleansing the world.

And this was their last desperate move.

By allowing the Dharma to erode, one incurs the wrathful blessing of the Wisdom King, transforming oneself into an incarnation of the Buddha for a short period—but the consequence is that once the time passes, the backlash of the curse will result in either death or serious injury!

Chen Xun was a seasoned veteran who knew that every second of delay would increase the danger, so he resolutely used this desperate method as soon as they made contact.

When the Dharma body of the Bright King appeared here, without even making any other movements, he simply forced back the group of stitched-together monsters with the power of the Buddha's light.

However, the other party was still a great shaman, a powerful figure who dominated the grasslands and was even revered as a god, receiving incense offerings and sacrifices.

Seeing Chen Xun unleash his ultimate move, accompanied by a series of wicked laughs, the insect's body actually flipped upside down again, revealing numerous faces that had been forcibly 'stitched' onto it.

Zhou You, who was standing to the side, felt that the appearance was somewhat familiar, but only a few seconds later, he suddenly realized.

—Damn it, isn't this what the Tai Sui looked like back then?!

Sure enough, in the next second, as the great shaman hummed, those faces began to melt away together—at the same time, Zhou You, Chen Xun, and even Feng Qianlin all had several to dozens of human-faced sores grow on their bodies—and they were spreading rapidly!
However, at this moment, Chen Xun suddenly snorted coldly.

"Subduing Demons and Purifying the Body!"

With a single press of his finger, the already spreading human-faced sores instantly shattered, and at the same time, a section of the great shaman's body also shattered!
Such power from an ordinary strike—yet Zhou You remained unperturbed, instead looking at Chen Xun's face.

Compared to before, his anger had intensified. If he could still be considered a Buddhist outward appearance before, he now resembled a heretic demon.

However, his voice remained as calm as ever.

They were so calm that it was as if they had no feelings at all.

“Brother Zhou, my method won’t last long. Also, because I cultivate the outer sect, every time I use my magic power, the erosion will deepen. So I will try to restrain this guy, but in the end, I’m afraid you will have to solve it.”

Zhou You took a deep breath and then nodded solemnly.

"give it to me."

This time, Chen Xun did not question it. Instead, he strode heavily, like a high mountain, resolutely and irresistibly pressing down on the Great Witch!
The great shaman, though severely injured, showed no hesitation. His half-body, attached to the insect's form, rapidly intricately wove spells, while his remaining limbs worked even faster, weaving incantations into the mutilated corpses—

A spider dangled from the ceiling, and Chen Xun punched it down, flattening it from a three-dimensional object. Several sharp claws lashed out from the side, but he ignored them. Instead, with a metallic clang, the claws snapped in two. A worm-like mass of people slowly approached, their heads seemingly still possessing sentience, weeping and pleading for their salvation.

However, Chen Xun seemed not to see it at all. He slowly reached out his hand and then chopped it down from a distance, cleanly breaking the object into two pieces.

Then, he recited a Buddhist chant.

"Amitabha. May you all go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and be liberated."

But in those few seconds, the great shaman had already woven the spell.

However, surprisingly, this is not the solution for dealing with the enemy or launching an attack.

All around, black smoke suddenly rose up. Although it was formless and intangible, it was like a swamp. The great shaman seemed to become one with the smoke. His huge body suddenly became ethereal and disappeared like smoke in the blink of an eye!
Chen Xun frowned deeply, forming a large hand seal, seemingly wanting to forcefully unleash the next move ahead of time.

however.

Just then, a gunshot rang out, and a cloud of blood-red mist suddenly filled the air!

The gun was fired by Feng Qianlin. No one knows what material it was made of, but it was able to hit the body that had already turned into black smoke. Even the white light emanating from it continued to corrode the body.

The red mist, naturally, represents the malevolent energy emanating from Zhou You.

Despite consuming precious materials for so many days, Duanxie still couldn't use them directly, but at least he could utilize his stored evil energy to achieve an effect similar to a degraded version of Liberation for a short period.

Of course, the malevolent energy can't be replenished right now; it's something that diminishes with each use. But given the current situation...
No matter what, we have no choice but to fight to the death!

The red mist mixed with the black smoke, creating a stalemate. Zhou You concentrated his blood evil on Duan Xie, and in the instant he brushed past several corpses, he aimed at an opening and swept it away mercilessly!

The black smoke seemed to have been forcibly torn open, and foul blood and internal organs gushed out from it—and at this moment, the great shaman finally roared in anger.

As the giant tail slammed down, countless human-faced beetles emerged from the ground and swarmed towards Zhou You like madmen—while the great shaman was already casting his next spell.

However, this time, Chen Xun's giant handprint finally pressed down.

In an instant, everything present, whether alive or dead, good or evil, felt a nameless fire rise in their hearts—of course, for Zhou You and Feng Qianlin, this was probably just a fleeting moment of restlessness, but for the Great Witch…
It burst into flames completely!

From within the black smoke, the insect's body burst forth again, howling in agony. On its body, only blue flames could be seen swirling—the Buddhist fire that extinguishes evil, burning away all external and wicked paths. No matter how much foul blood it spewed out, it could never be extinguished.

but.

For some reason, despite the scorch marks covering his body, the great shaman suddenly revealed a smile.

It was still that sharp, almost frictional sound, but this time only one sentence was uttered.

"Time is up."

--What?
The three turned their gazes in astonishment, only to see a paper funeral deity suddenly thrown out from the car door—in mid-air, the body began to shatter into pieces until it turned into a shower of paper money.

Looking towards the entrance, from the other carriages, the dense, layered mass of zombies had already surged in.

All efforts were in vain?
Zhou You took a deep breath, then turned and gripped the sword hilt—

The crimson mist suddenly thickened. At this moment, he had given up on the possibility of repairing the broken evil in this script and planned to completely unleash the evil energy, and then take this opportunity to fight the great shaman to the death.

Otherwise.

At that moment, a voice I hadn't heard in a long time suddenly rang in my ears.

"Dear Player"

At first, the sound was intermittent, as if there was a poor signal, but soon it became a complete sentence.

"Dear player, the seal on the Diancang Ring has been broken through to the next stage. You can take out any two items from it. Please note that due to the limitations of world erosion, the items or techniques taken out this time cannot exceed a certain limit." What a coincidence?
Zhou You was stunned for less than a second, then burst into ecstasy.

Without any hesitation, he immediately took out an item.

—That was a copper coin.

"Hun Yuan Coin"

"Special consumables."

"Effect: This coin contains a certain amount of 'chaotic energy'. After being thrown, it can consume a certain amount of energy to forcibly slow down the actions of surrounding enemies. The duration of the effect and the duration depend on the strength of the enemy. When the energy inside is exhausted, the coin is destroyed."

[The secret magical artifacts of the Xun family in the Three Families Association require hundreds of thousands of copper coins that have been passed down for hundreds of years and handled by countless people to be forged.]

It's the same coin that Fatty Xun used in the last script!

Clench the money in your hand, then flick it with your thumb—the money tumbles a few times in mid-air before falling back into your palm.

The light dimmed by about 40% in an instant, but as it fell, the movements of the great shaman and the monster seemed to slow down!
Chen Xun knew this was the only chance, and if he missed it, he would never have another. He took a few steps forward and slammed his fist into the great shaman's insect body.

Then came an angry shout.

"break!"

It was as if all the power was poured into this one strike, its destructive force was so strong that even the front of the car sank down, and half of the great shaman's body was reduced to ashes - Chen Xun also spat out blood and staggered backward.

Even so, the great shaman was still alive.

His half-human body struggled to its feet, ripped off the skull necklace from his neck, and with his last ounce of strength, murmured as if trying to perform some kind of incantation—

just.

Zhou You had already crossed that half of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Hanging upside down, the gleaming sword blade reflected the great shaman's despairing face.

"No, no, Yu Sanzhi, why are you—"

Before the roar could be finished, the blade had already turned.

And so, all fell silent.

The horde of corpses outside the door stopped abruptly the moment the Great Shaman fell.

These things are ultimately driven by magic, unlike the zombies in B-movies who lose control after their master dies and eventually become corpses.

Feng Qianlin didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before rushing to Chen Xun's side and checking his breath with his hand.

Good news, the person is still alive.

The bad news is that without any intervention, he probably won't live more than a few minutes.

Feng Qianlin gritted his teeth, took out a box from his pocket, opened it, and revealed a crystal-clear pill that looked like jade.

The moment it was taken out, its medicinal fragrance was so strong that it even suppressed the surrounding bloody smell.

Although Chen Xun had shrunk back, he was still barely conscious. When he saw Feng Qianlin take out this thing, he disregarded his serious injuries and death and immediately showed a look of panic.

"Shang Jun, this is something you went through countless hardships, even using up almost half of your savings to get your hands on, to save your life. You have to do it."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Qianlin forcefully shoved the thing into his mouth.

Then, this typical old-fashioned gentleman unusually uttered a curse.

"—You're about to die, what's the use of this precious medicine? Take it now!"

Chen Xun struggled and refused to bite down.

"Even if I recover, I will inevitably lose my ability to move and will no longer be able to protect you, Shangjun. You should leave this behind."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll find a way to get rid of you later. If I can't get rid of you, I'll carry you out myself!"

Chen Xun was still putting up a stubborn resistance, but at this moment Feng Qianlin had already given Zhou You a wink.

Someone understood immediately, stepped forward, dislocated Chen Xun's jaw, then took off the wine gourd, used the wine to slide the thing inside, and then put it back on.

Chen Xun coughed a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he eventually exhausted himself and, under the combined effects of the medicine and fatigue, he fell into a deep coma.

Only then did Feng Qianlin let out a long sigh.

Then, he stood up, looked around, and seeing the tragic scene, a look of grief appeared on his face.

"This is all because of me. If I hadn't thought about taking the train, so many people wouldn't have died so tragically. I..."

Zhou You didn't say anything, but picked up the gourd, forcibly pried open the guy's mouth, and poured a few mouthfuls into it.

"Cough cough cough cough what are you doing?"

Zhou You rolled his eyes and said.

“There is indeed a saying that I didn’t kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. The problem is that no one could have imagined that Yu Sanzhi would break his vow. In fact, he killed these people. Even if you have something to do with Brother Feng, you can’t mourn them until it’s safe. And now there’s a crucial question: what should we do next?”

After this sudden awakening, Feng Qianlin became much more alert. He closed his eyes, pondered for a few seconds, and when he opened them again, he had returned to normal.

"We've got the locomotive under control now. Although the driver is dead, luckily I had some training before, so I can manage to operate it. We're almost there at the next stop. I'll contact a friend to handle the aftermath, then we'll see Master Chen off, and finally, the two of us will drive to that ghost market together."

This man was a remarkable figure; in just a few seconds, he quickly composed himself and made his next decision.

however.

Just now.

In the train carriage strewn with corpses, a fourth voice suddenly rang out.

"Master Feng has certainly made a clever plan, but didn't you even ask if we would agree?"
