The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 531: Decayed Lotus Pond, God-Summoning Ceremony (asking for monthly ticket)
Today no one can react to what happened.

It was clearly the White Lotus Cult that was beating up "County Magistrate Liu Yuan" just now.

The four great elders, the twelve vacuum extradition envoys, and dozens or even hundreds of followers at all levels who mastered strange methods, all the people in the entire Baishi Town branch were dispatched.

Various skills with special effects were used, the sky was falling, and the earth was cracked. It could be said that they used all their tricks to launch a siege.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the new county magistrate walked out of the smoke and dust, as if he had not been hurt at all, and launched an inhumane counterattack.

From the outbreak of the battle to its end, less than two minutes passed, and the Shanzi Camp branch of the White Lotus Sect was completely destroyed!
This scene was witnessed by more than a hundred well-known wealthy people from Baishi Town who attended the meeting today.

They will never forget today, when that terrifying man who was like a god of death captured the White Lotus members one by one, and beat them to death with his elbows again and again!

Everyone watched it all in amazement.

Xu Shu frowned and shouted in displeasure: "The White Lotus Sect has bullied the people of the village and has lost all conscience. I am the county magistrate, and I am fighting against evil and defending justice. Why are you staring at me with such wide eyes? Are you dissatisfied with me?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was frightened.

As if they suddenly realized something, they knelt on the ground obediently, shouting, "Long live the county magistrate! Well done to the county magistrate! These White Lotus beasts deserve to die ten thousand times. We firmly support all decisions made by the county magistrate!"

Including the guys who originally tried to shout "Someone come, someone is disrupting the sacrifice", their attitudes changed drastically after just two minutes. They all knelt on the ground and shouted "Resolutely support County Magistrate Liu!"

Everyone saluted County Magistrate Liu with tears and snot, trying to show their loyalty.

This should have been a moment of celebration, but when Xu Shu saw everyone kneeling down, he narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the rich men and women who were participating in the sacrifice below the stage.

They are all dressed in gold and silver, fat and wealthy.

One look at their appearance told you that they were living a completely different life from those lower-class people who were truly persecuted in the towns and villages.

Xu Shu pointed at the audience with dissatisfaction and said: "Your salary is the blood and sweat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive God!"

"..."After the battle, Zhong Xiaoya, who wanted to go forward to watch the show, was stunned where she was.

"My Lord...My Lord, what are you talking about?"

Everyone didn't react at once, but they instinctively sensed that something was wrong and asked tremblingly.

This time Xu Shu was kind enough to translate for them.

"You can't just stand up and denounce the White Lotus Sect's crimes when they are dying. What were you doing when you were enjoying yourself?"

Then, no one knew what happened after he killed the dozen or so extradition envoys, but a dazzling golden spear suddenly appeared in his hand.

With one shot, everyone present saw their great-grandmother.

This is why the gentry will never forget the demise of the White Lotus Sect today.

Because the killer in front of them didn't even let those people in the stands go, it's really hard to forget.

"Beast! You are simply a beast! What does it have to do with us that you killed people from the White Lotus Sect? We ordinary people are innocent!!!" - Epitaph for all the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Baishi Town.

The mouth is really hard.

But the world was quiet.

From then on, Baishi Town was completely reshuffled. There was no more "superior people" here, and all the people were treated equally.

but.

There was still a fish that slipped through the net at the scene.

Xu Shu turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

The "Avici Ferry", who had huddled in her robe and had not made any movement since the start of the war except trying to put on a hat, was still sitting there in her original posture.

Xu Shu asked in confusion: "Interesting... You didn't join forces with others to deal with me?"

"..."The Birthless Ferry Mother raised a pair of green eyes from her hood.

She looked at Xu Shu quietly, then looked at the ruins of Xu Shu after the battle, and squeezed out a long "huh~" sound from her throat, as if preparing to pave the way for her next speech.

But before she finished the beginning of her speech, Xu Shu suddenly clapped his hands. "I understand!"

His eyes sparkled with gold, and he suddenly realized, "You are very confident in your own strength, disdain to besiege, and want to fight me in a fair one-on-one duel?"

“?” Wushengdumu forced a question mark on her forehead, as if she wanted to say something.

But Xu Shu didn't wait for anyone, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Good, good, good! You old thing, although you look old and ugly, you have more backbone than others, you are worthy of being the Mother of No Life! This martial arts spirit is very worthy of praise, I will give you this opportunity!"

“What did you say?!” Wushengdu Mu’s question mark instantly turned into a roar.

"Haha, stop talking nonsense and come on!"

After saying that, Xu Shu leaped up like a big bird and swooped down in front of Wushengdumu!

A powerful aura enveloped the entire place again. Seeing this, Wusheng Dumu hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute! What do you want? If you want our Holy Church to withdraw from this place, there is no room for negotiation!"

She no longer cared about the humiliation of being cursed by Xu Shu and wanted to reconcile with him.

However, Xu Shu pretended not to hear and punched her in the heart.

Boom!
This ordinary straight punch was nothing fancy at all. It blew away the dust floating in the air, and made a loud "boom" sound like a god beating a drum. It caught Wusheng Du Mu off guard and caused a large dent in her chest that was visibly visible to the naked eye!

"Ok?"

Although the attack was successful, Xu Shu was actually a little surprised.

He was also very confident in his destructive power. With such a fully charged punch, any ordinary "Three Friends of Winter" would have been killed on the spot.

Although the chest of the Birthless Ferry was sunken, it did not explode directly, which showed that she still had some strength left.

What kind of method is this?
Soften part of the body to diffuse the attack?
This guy's extraordinary path is very special... Is it the "Grandmaster's" energy? Or the "Alchemist's" alienated body?

Xu Shu's mind was racing with thoughts, but his hands were not idle at all.

His methods were swift, accurate, ruthless, tricky and powerful, and they made Wushengdu Mu scream and wail in agony.

She twisted and turned trying to dodge, but how could she escape when a "strong man" of the same level got so close to her?
After a while, Wushengdumu's body was covered with bruises from Xu Shu's beating.

With a scream of "No", the huge robe on her body was completely torn to pieces, revealing her naked body underneath.

“Hahaha… huh?”

When Xu Shu saw the "vacuum hometown", he was very surprised and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

What was exposed in front of him was a female human head as big as a winter melon, with sparse hair, missing teeth, and skin covered with scars like those of an old person.

If that were all, she would be just an old woman at most, which is in line with the status of "Birthless Ferry Mother".

However, there was no body under her head, only an esophagus as thick as an adult man's arm. It was impossible to tell how long it was. It was only seen that it went deep into the ground and extended backwards, directly connecting to the hall with a closed door at the back.

It is worth mentioning that the surface of this thick esophagus is covered with dark green mucus, and countless molds grow on the meat. There seems to be a certain balance between the mold and the dark green mucus, and the entire esophagus or "neck" has been pulled to be almost straight, and it keeps bulging and breathing and swallowing with the movements of the Birthless Ferry Mother.

It is no wonder that Wushengdu Mu had been sitting on the chair without taking any action. It turned out that she was not unwilling to take action, but the current situation was already the maximum distance she could leave the tower behind her.

"Is this... a flying head monster?"

Xu Shu had some speculations in his mind.

He is no longer the newbie who knew nothing about the extraordinary world. He has heard that there is a special species which looks no different from ordinary people, except that it has a long neck, more than ten meters long like a python. It can even fly out alone by pulling its head along its esophagus. It is called the "flying head barbarian".

but……

"Wushendumu, it turns out that you are not human?" Xu Shu suddenly revealed a sinister smile.

She is not human, which means she is different from other members of the White Lotus Sect.

After death... "corrosion crystals" will precipitate, right?
"Of course I am a human being, please don't talk nonsense!"

Wushengdumu was frightened by Xu Shu's greedy gaze.

She had never seen such a look in any human's eyes, especially after they had witnessed her true form!
At that moment, Wushengdu Mu was completely panicked, with a panicked expression and kept twisting her neck to dodge.

This time, relying on the wet and slippery green mucus on her neck, she finally broke free from Xu Shu's big hand. She spun around and shrank into the hall at the bottom of the tower. The robe she was wearing just now actually became a hindrance for her.

"Hmph, you want to run?!" After being in the ruins for so long, he finally encountered a "monster". How could Xu Shu let her leave?

Without saying a word, he gave chase, charged forward with his body, blasted the bottom door of the pagoda, and forced his way in.

As soon as you enter the tower, you will see a lotus pond about ten meters wide, glowing with white mist, and filled with a large number of white lotuses.

The neck of the Avici Ferris Wheel was rooted in the lotus pond, as if she was the lotus spirit in the pond.

As the saying goes, a person who is able to stay clean even in muddy water can be seen with the naked eye a pile of rotten mud at the bottom of the lotus pond here.

However, what is very strange is that the lotus is not "unstained". Instead, some of them are constantly decaying and rotting, but in the mist, new white lotuses are constantly blooming.

In addition, there are eight bronze lotus lanterns in the shape of pillars arranged in eight directions around the lotus pond.

Pairs of young men and women with dull eyes and lifeless pupils gathered around bronze lotus lamps, believing in religion madly, as if expressing their most crazy devotion to the White Lotus Sect.

The pure power of faith generated by believing in religion continuously flows into the lotus pond along the tentacle-like lotus vines, nourishing the white lotuses in the pond and the huge lotus root in the center of the lotus pond, which is sometimes rotten like a dead tree and sometimes crystal clear and revived.

And the head of the Birthless Ferry Mother was firmly sitting on the throne above the rotten lotus wood!
"This... yesterday's lotuses died, but today's lotuses are growing?"

"You actually use this thing as fertilizer! I see, you are practicing the Laughing Buddha, right?!"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he began to guess.

Wushengdumu did not answer. Her previous panic was swept away. She said with malicious intent, "How dare a mere human try to guess my power? You do have some strength, but that's enough. Come and become my lord's nourishment!"

After saying that, she raised her neck, opened her mouth wide, and let out a shrill scream as piercing as the waves!

wow~
wow~
Sound waves visible to the naked eye, based on the lotus wood at the center, dispersed and surged to the surrounding columnar lotus lamps. After resonating with each other, they surged into the void, surged into eight directions, and vaguely produced some kind of resonance, shaking back and forth!
Bang~ There was a sudden explosion behind me.

Xu Shu looked back and found that it was Xiaoya who approached but was unable to enter the pagoda, as if she had hit the air wall at the entrance of the hall.

She opened her mouth wide and gestured to herself, but not only could no one get in, but no sound could be heard either.

This inexplicable fluctuation seemed to block the space and the entire pagoda, making it impossible for people outside to enter and people inside to leave!

"Huh?" Xu Shu's eyes suddenly fixed upon seeing this, and he thought that something was not good, perhaps he had been tricked by this Wushengdu Mu.

Space blockade, it looks like a kind of formation... Huh!

What kind of crappy formation is this? Can it be compared with the church of the “Dark Mother Goddess”?

Only stop me, the Great God Jiuyi!

Without much hesitation, he took a crab step and was about to go out with the "nine on the head and one on the feet" posture.

At this time, Wushengdumu seemed to see through Xu Shu's intentions, and smiled with her yellow teeth showing: "Want to leave? Is it too late? Heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, swamp! The eight lotuses are summoned! The old mother shows her holiness, and the vacuum is coming!"

She roared in rage, uttering trembling mysterious syllables.

In an instant, the eight surrounding lotus lamp pillars swallowed up the nearby believers in one gulp.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the ancient and clumsy characters of "Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui" lit up on the lotus lantern in sequence.

The empty space at the wick was like the mouthparts of some kind of nutmeg, wide open, as if it was not satisfied with having just swallowed a living person, and was still waiting for some kind of treasure to fit perfectly.

Wow!
Wow!
A strange sound of a baby crying was heard from nowhere. No, it should be said that it sounded like the cry of a fetus that was about to be born!
Under the influence of this strong malice, Xu Shu trembled inwardly, and without hesitation, he dodged.

Whoosh!
"Ninety-one Great God" showed his power again. He passed through the obstacles of the pagoda, ignored the blockade of space, and went straight out of the door!

"Come out quickly! This is the Xiantian Bagua's summoning array. Once it is activated, it cannot be interrupted. It can really summon the evil god of faith to possess you. If you continue to stay in there, you will die—wow!"

Xiaoya was shouting outside when she was suddenly bumped into by Xu Shu. She shivered with fear and asked in surprise, "Damn, how did you actually get out?"

Xu Shu patted his sleeves and said calmly: "Oh, what do you mean, Sister Xiaoya? Do you really want me to die in there? You didn't come when we were fighting, but now you're yelling louder!"

"No, no, I'm just trying to find a way to save you~" Xiaoya muttered softly.

"Oh, really? Screaming loud enough to save me?"

Xu Shu did not comment, but looked inside the tower and said, "Is this magic circle so powerful? Can it really summon evil spirits to possess you? This seems..."

Is this similar to the skill I had before that allowed me to "gamble and roll the dice"?

Xiaoya didn't know what he was thinking, so she explained, "Of course, the art of summoning spirits has long been lost. I didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to have it... No, it should be said that it was this evil cult from hundreds of years ago that mastered this evil method!"

"Are we safe here?" Xu Shu asked nervously.

"It should be safe. The summoning formation will lock both the enemy and us inside the formation, which is equivalent to marking out a duel field. It will not end until a winner is decided. But at the same time, they cannot get out by themselves. It is a desperate measure. You are really amazing. You can actually escape. It must be a ghost..." Xiaoya nodded with a look of fear on her face and patted her little chest.

Xu Shu felt relieved when he saw this, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Locking both sides in a duel arena, and the fight cannot end until a winner is decided? Why does this sound familiar?

At the same time, he was somewhat curious about what kind of "evil god" this magic circle would summon to possess him.
“Mother of No Birth”?

Thinking of this, he and Xiaoya looked inside the tower and around the lotus pond.

Then I saw that around the lotus pond that was originally roaring and surging, every one of the bronze pillars of the lotus lanterns that were constantly emitting the resonant chirping of cicadas were now lighting up red.

The red light ticked, illuminating the originally crazy and complacent smile of the Wusheng Old Mother, which looked both weird and terrifying.

This situation continued until the red light flashed faster and faster, and finally went out with a snap.

The smile on Wushengdumu's face gradually disappeared.

This means that the "God-summoning Formation" has failed!

The eight lotus lamps went out, and the necessary offerings to invite the gods to possess the body could not be provided!
"Uh..." Xiaoya was also stunned for a moment, lowering her head and muttering to herself, "Strange, why did it fail? This formation looks very complete, and I just felt the malice in the void... It shouldn't fail... Hiss, I understand, the offerings for the ritual of summoning the gods are the small lotus pedestals that the witches hide in the statues to represent the Eight Diagrams. Those lotus pedestals are naturally not available here... Huh?"

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Xu Shu, but her expression froze and she didn't see him.

Turning around, Xu Shu returned to the tower and to the center of the lotus pond.

He withdrew the "wear nine and step one" and returned to his original position!
"..."

Looking at the powerful enemy who had returned, the smile on Wushengdumu's face disappeared and returned to Xu Shu's face.

"Master Liu! I...I..." She tilted her neck, her lips must be bitter, and finally forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and said hoarsely, "If you can let me go, the White Lotus Sect is willing to offer you loyal friendship, how about it?"

Xu Shu was happy: "Guess what?"

Boom!dong dong!

He began to run. His heavy footsteps sounded like a giant beast trampling the ground, filled with a terrifying sense of oppression. He approached the Immortal Ferry Mother step by step, like an executioner who was about to succeed!
Seeing this, Wusheng Du Mu widened her eyes and said, "No, wait! In fact, there is no irreconcilable conflict between us. Let's talk about it later. Ahhhhhh——"

"Okay, but take another punch from me!"

Xu Shu finished running, with the fully charged effect of Kuafu chasing the sun on his body: Capture the mountain!

What greeted Wushengdu Mu was an extremely powerful uppercut.

boom!
The fist wind was so strong that the whole pagoda jumped up and was knocked to the ground!
The surrounding lotus lanterns collapsed naturally, and as the smoke and dust dissipated, Xu Shu picked up three crystal clear, unrestrained gems from the ground. They were entangled with each other, forming a perfect "from point to surface" posture.

comfortable!
It's erosion crystal!

Finally got three, and they are purple level!
Xu Shu picked up the gem, closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then he let out a sigh of satisfaction.

At this moment, several violent roars were heard outside the collapsed pagoda.

Suddenly, several middle-aged men with extremely powerful aura and clothes that were out of place in this place rushed over like lightning.

They glanced around the room, assessed the current situation, and suddenly became furious and roared.

"Oh no, someone killed Wushengdumu?"

"It's over, it's over. I'm a step too late!"

"Idiot, what have you done!"

"Without a Lotus Mother, how can we fight against the God of Terror?!"
