Chapter 466 Trap
"So that means there's no room for negotiation?"

Zhou You suddenly burst into laughter, and then abruptly slammed his hand on the table and stood up!

The thing retreated, but before it could take more than a few steps, a sword light struck first, instantly shredding its body.

Of course, this was just a possessed thing, not a fatal wound—soon, another face appeared on the waxy wall.

"you--"

Before he could finish uttering a complete sentence, another sword aura struck.

In the blink of an eye, that face was also cut into pieces.

However, that wasn't the end of it. The next time, before he could even form a complete sword, the sword light struck first and pierced a hole in him.

The next time, he was smarter. He made his face appear on the roof and forcibly stretched the wall until it was more than seven or eight meters high before staring intently at Zhou You.

"you--"

However, this time, he only uttered one syllable.

A streak of light flashed past, piercing his eye socket once more.

Let's look at someone else.

He produced a massive, jet-black bow from who-knows-where, its surface gleaming with arrows formed from rolled talismans.

—Indeed impressive, and indeed decisive.

but.

He's not one to be trifled with either!
In the blink of an eye, one of the heads on the table melted away, and a mournful resentment rose into the air with a shriek. However, before it reached mid-air, it was already grasped by him and turned into material for his spell.

next second.

A rustling sound suddenly arose from the ground.

Wen Tian looked down, and then his jaw started chattering.

Countless centipedes emerged from the ground, swarming towards the two with a rustling sound.

Wen Tianyi didn't want to make a sound, but when he saw a centipede crash into a chair, instantly bursting into a puddle of thick liquid and corroding the chair leg until nothing was left, he couldn't help but scream.

"Master Zhou!"

Zhou You simply replied calmly.

"I know."

The sword's momentum shifted the next moment.

What started as fast and precise has become as fleeting as drifting clouds.

The insects were easily crushed and shredded before they even got within five feet of the surrounding area, without even a chance to explode.

Are you kidding me? Is this even a human being capable of?

The sorcerer gritted his teeth, and the other head on the table immediately exploded.

The next moment, Wen Tianyi suddenly felt a tickle in his throat.

It's incredibly itchy.

He couldn't resist sticking his fingers inside and scratching desperately. But all he could pull out were clumps of tangled, matted black hair!
However, Zhou You gently patted his shoulder at this moment.

Wen Tian felt as if his back was being burned by a branding iron, and he jumped up in pain. He also subconsciously vomited, and a tangled, still wriggling thing was vomited on the ground.

Then, a large foot stomped down and crushed it twice, and the thing was completely reduced to ashes.

Then, someone raised their eyes and looked at the sorcerer's face.

Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear.

—That's all?

The sorcerer's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He opened his mouth, and then a piercing shriek suddenly rang out.

This time, the remaining head on the table, along with the pile of entrails and flesh, exploded instantly—

Zhou You's gaze finally became more serious.

In his perception, something vague descended from afar in this twisted and grotesque world, and then seeped into it.

This is not the sorcerer's own ability, but rather the aura gleaned from the painting, originating from that temple.

Right before Zhou You's eyes, the bursting chunks of flesh suddenly froze in mid-air, then rapidly coalesced, and then, as if they were stuck together, they blended together.

Soon, a jelly-like substance was 'pinched' out of mid-air and then fell to the ground.

"This is... a clone?"

Zhou You tilted his head and then casually swung his sword.

but.

The usually invincible sword blade failed to shatter the object; instead, it effortlessly swept past it without even a hint of force.

On the other hand, the gelatinous thing, after being split in two, wriggled for a while and then turned back into two identical things.

Is this an earthworm?
However, at that moment, venomous words suddenly poured down from the ceiling.

"How could it be possible with ordinary iron from this world?"

"—You talk too much nonsense."

Zhou You didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. Instead, he took a breath and then drew his sword.

This time, two became four.

"Everyone says it's useless; this is the omnipotence it bestowed upon me, essentially immortality."

The sword was drawn, and four became eight.

"No matter how you cut it, it's still the same."

Eight became sixteen.

This time, even the sorcerer fell silent.

After a while, he muttered to himself.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Zhou You ignored him.

After cutting it a few times, he roughly understood the nature of this thing.

It is not fast-moving, has a certain degree of heat and corrosiveness, and also has the ability to multiply infinitely.

There were indeed some extraterrestrial demons among them, but not many. Rather than being a type of demon, they were more like the retinues of the ancient people.

But it's still the same problem.

How did this thing infiltrate into reality?
The proliferation and derivation continued. Even without Zhou You using his sword to cut it, the thing continued to divide and reproduce. In just a few minutes, it occupied most of the room.

Zhou You glanced at the sinister and vicious face and shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, the malevolent energy stored in the towering cliff was suddenly released!

In that dazed gaze, a blood-red aura soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it swept away nearly a third of the aliens.

The man just stared at Zhou You, trembling for a long time, before finally uttering a single sentence.

".How is it possible!?"

But just a few seconds later, as if he had sensed something, his expression suddenly changed.

"No, you're finished. I've already succeeded on the other side!"
-
A village nestled in the mountains.

Lin Chen suppressed his aura and stared longingly at the wooden door. The talismans were remnants from the Abyss, and the materials used were special supplies from the Feng or Yuan families, so their effectiveness was unquestionable. Even after the objects outside the door had been patting for a long time, the fluorescence on them only weakened slightly.

If things continue like this, at least we should be able to hold out until daytime without any major issues.

The knocking grew more and more rapid, from the initial 'thump thump thump' to 'bang bang bang', and finally, it sounded like a door being pounded on.

Moreover, this isn't the only place.

The sounds of heavy banging echoed from the windows and even the walls. Amidst the raging wind and rain, several timid children were already crying out in fear.

It wasn't that no one had considered secretly calling the police, but with the invasion of those flocks of birds and beasts, all external signals to the entire resort were cut off.

These people are now like stranded people on a deserted island, only able to huddle together and silently pray that these talismans can last a little longer.

Otherwise.

Suddenly.

All the knocking stopped abruptly.

Several people looked up blankly, wanting to check the surveillance footage—but all they saw were large, blindingly white flakes of snow.

Silence fell outside the door, a deathly silence.

"...So, they've given up?"

One person grinned, and the others also showed smiles of relief at surviving a disaster.

Only Lin Chen had a furrowed brow.

Based on his understanding, this guy shouldn't have given up so early, unless...
He looked up abruptly and suddenly saw a girl in a uniform with a silly smile, standing on tiptoe, reaching out to peel off the talisman on the door.

Turning my head again, I realized that the cellar door had been opened at some point!

"What are you thinking? Stop those guys right now!"

pity.

It's too late.

As several talismans were torn off, the originally perfect feng shui formation instantly revealed a flaw, and the fluorescent light swirling around the entire house flickered a few times.

Followed by.

It suddenly went out.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene.

Some of them still had the smiles from before, but now their eyes were filled with horrified fear. The combination of these two groups made them look particularly strange.

At this point, the things outside the door were no longer in a hurry.

It seemed to be quietly enjoying the despair of the crowd until, after a long while, it squeaked and pushed open the door.

There was nothing there.

The area outside the door was empty; there was nothing there.

However, everyone could feel that 'something' had entered the room and, in an instant, occupied the entire space.

Suddenly, someone laughed again.

But this time it wasn't just one or two people, but almost everyone was laughing hysterically, rolling on the ground laughing, laughing until they were breathless, and even laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

But he was still smiling.

Except for one person.

Lin Chen was as if he had been frozen in place, watching helplessly as the talisman failed, as laughter rang out, and as 'that thing' came to his side.

Then, a vague voice rang in my ears.

"Lin Chen, I've come to take your daughter."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I absolutely won't kill you."

"Although the guy you found did cause me a lot of trouble, he was an idiot after all. I managed to lure him away with a simple trick. It wasn't for nothing that I overspent another seven or eight years of my life."

"But someone has to pay the price. Don't worry, I'll put you in the VIP section so you can watch your daughter be tortured to death."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen had already started walking like a puppet on a string, carrying the object upstairs.

Even so, he still spoke at breakneck speed, giving it his all.

"Master, Master, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I've amassed quite a fortune over the years, I can give you as much as you want, just please spare my daughter."

The thing paused for a moment, and just when Lin Chen thought there was a chance, it said with a smile.

“Money is a good thing, Mr. Lin, you know? I started out as a sorcerer for money. After all, with money I wouldn’t starve to death, and with money I wouldn’t have to rely on eating my mother’s corpse to survive. But now, money has lost its meaning for me. In fact, if you were tormented like me day and night, you would also feel that money is meaningless.”

Lin Chen, being a businessman, immediately changed the subject and continued.

"In that case, I will spend money to help you find materials, Master. As you should know, I, Lin, have quite a few connections. No matter what you want, Master, no matter how many lives you want, I can get them for you. Moreover, I will take full responsibility, so you absolutely don't need to worry about being targeted!"

The thing did not answer.

It was as if the wire had suddenly been cut, and it stopped there, only speaking hoarsely after a long while.

"What exactly is this thing you invited? Oh right, you said you were going to help me find materials, right?"

Before Lin Chen could reply, it laughed again.

“I would have agreed before, but unfortunately, I am nearing the end of my life and cannot wait any longer. Your daughter is a rare find, a material that can communicate with spirits, so I can only ask you, Mr. Lin, to make an exception.”

Lin Chen's eyes widened, as if he wanted to say something, but the thing seemed to have grown tired of it. It only whispered a few words before a thread made of hair appeared out of thin air and sewed Lin Chen's mouth shut.

Then, over this distance of only a few hundred meters, for some reason, the thing kept stopping and starting, until it stopped for an unusually long time in front of Lin Huan's bedroom door.

Lin Chen's heart was also in turmoil. Although he knew the chances were slim, he still thought that if the Taoist priest helped a little, they might actually be able to kill the sorcerer's true form.

However, before long, all hope was shattered.

After swaying in the air for a while, a semi-transparent, blood-red figure slowly emerged. It looked at its own body, shook its head, and said...

"What a formidable fellow—but alas, no matter how powerful, he is still just a mortal. Once I free that one, once I remove the curse from his body, you, all of you, and him, will all die."

Without even noticing Lin Chen's struggles, it slowly reached out and pushed open the door.

inside the house.

Lin Chen's daughter, the little girl named Lin Huan, was still staring blankly ahead, seemingly oblivious to everything that was happening.

The thing then smiled with satisfaction.

"Luckily, I made thorough preparations before coming, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to succeed. Little one, come with me, I'll let you taste every kind of pain in this world."

A blood-red hand landed on the girl's shoulder, and at that moment, a sinister smile finally appeared—

At the same time, I looked at the ecstatic faces of the people there.

Zhou You suddenly sighed.

"Hey bro, do you really think I'm that stupid to fall for your trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, just like a dog being led around by you?"

The man's face froze for a few seconds, then he grinned maliciously.

"It's too late to say anything now. I don't believe you have the ability to shrink the distance and get back in a few minutes—"

However, Zhou You simply looked at the other person calmly.

"I really don't have that ability, but bro."

"Guess what's missing from my body?"
