Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 890 Killing Two Evil Spirits at Once
Wu Xian cradled the prisoner's head, a conflicted expression on his face.

The True Fire Talisman of the Sun is one less talisman available once it is used, so if one wants to use this talisman, one must consider the benefits. That is why Wu Xian spared the head of the imprisoned woman.

"I hate it! I feel wronged!"

At this moment, the prisoner's head was wide open in anger, and black liquid kept flowing from her neck, as if she wanted to bite Wu Xian to death with her teeth.

Wu Xian looked at the head and was puzzled.

It would be a waste to use it.

If I keep her, I'm afraid she might suddenly shout "I am immortal" and come back to life on the spot.

After hesitating for two seconds, Wu Xian looked around and then turned to Liu Nana downstairs: "Can your hand go through the bars of the cage? Throw me one of your boots."

Liu Nana was stunned for a moment. Although she was puzzled, she still took off her little leather boots, which she had worn from strenuous exercise, and threw them upstairs.

After taking the soft leather boots, Wu Xian squeezed and twisted them forcefully before shoving them into the prisoner's mouth.

"Eat your shoes!"

With these shoes, even if the imprisoned woman could be resurrected by crying out for justice, Wu Xian would at least have some time to react.

Some might ask, isn't it normal to use socks to gag someone?

But actually, using a sock to gag is only insulting and doesn't actually stop the mouth from coming out. It's too soft; if you open your mouth, your tongue will just push it out.

To block someone's mouth, you need to put something that can completely open the mouth and prevent the tongue from pushing it out.

The best choice is a light bulb.

Wu Xian used Liu Nana's boots because he couldn't find a light bulb.

After doing all this, Wu Xian grabbed the prisoner by the hair and led her to the old-fashioned iron gate at the back of the small square.

Behind the iron gate lies the water dungeon. What could be inside?

Wu Xian inserted the key into the lock and turned it. The lock clicked open, and the key turned to ashes and disappeared after the door was opened. It seemed to be a one-time use item.

Behind the iron gate was a spiraling, damp stone staircase leading downwards.

Wu Xian cautiously stepped inside, and the iron gate slammed shut, plunging the passage into darkness. He had to take out the Burning Dream Dagger and use the flames to illuminate the way.

The stones of the spiral staircase are stacked very irregularly, and the craftsmanship looks quite retro. It should not be the work of modern artisans, and no one has been here for a long time.

The rough stones were covered with moss, wet and slippery, requiring extreme caution with every step, and appeared even more eerie and terrifying under the firelight.

As he explored downwards, Wu Xian could hear painful groans, as if some terrifying creature was struggling to survive.

Snap, snap...

When Wu Xian estimated that he had gone down two floors, he heard footsteps going up. The sound was slow and disordered, like that of a patient who had suffered a stroke.

Soon, Wu Xian met the owner of the voice.

It was a naked man whose body, like the stone wall, was covered in moss. Where his head should have been, there were more than a dozen tentacles crammed together. These tentacles danced erratically, emanating an almost tangible aura of malevolence that even suppressed the light of the flames!
Wu Xian was not surprised at all to see this evil spirit.

A place like a water dungeon would inevitably be guarded by evil spirits, and these spirits would certainly possess considerable strength, at least stronger than ordinary bodyguards. Therefore, the moment the evil spirit appeared, Wu Xian threw away what he was holding.

"then!"

The tentacles on the evil spirit's head were incredibly flexible. They grabbed the prisoner's head with lightning speed and pulled it to the base of all the tentacles, attempting to digest it with the mouth on its neck.

This is enough to prove that as long as you are caught by this tentacle evil spirit, you will be eaten and injured in just two or three seconds.

After the head was half swallowed, Wu Xian snapped his fingers.

Boom!

Golden lightning bolts erupted in the narrow stairwell, illuminating the dark spiral staircase with a golden glow. The imprisoned woman and the tentacle-like evil spirit were both electrocuted and emitted thick smoke.

This is the first reason why Wu Xian kept the prisoner's head.

Wu Xian is blessed with the [Thunderous Wrath], which will form a mark of wrath based on the damage he inflicts on the target. Each mark can attract a bolt of lightning.

The imprisoned woman was injured by Wu Xian using the 'True Fire of the Sun' talisman, so the damage she suffered was enormous, and the number of anger marks she bore was also extremely large.

In other words, this head is not only a head, but also a lightning-attracting tool that can help Wu Xian spread the residual power of the 'True Fire Talisman of the Sun' to other evil spirits!
Wu Xian tapped his fingers in a fast-paced rhythm, and bolts of lightning struck down from nowhere, scorching the imprisoned woman and the tentacle-like evil spirit until they were charred and cracked.

When Wu Xian felt the fire was almost ready, he took out the 'fire-attaching powder' he had obtained on the first floor, opened the lid, and sprinkled the powder inside onto the Burning Dream Dagger.

call!
The Burning Dream Dagger burst into flames, turning the orange-red flames into cherry-red.

The effect of applying fire powder is to increase the number of kills by the Burning Dream Dagger and to increase the flame temperature for one minute!
After enchanting the dagger, Wu Xian pounced fiercely, stabbing wildly at the tentacle-like evil spirit and the head of the imprisoned woman, which were still numb from being struck by lightning.

After being stabbed a few times, black liquid oozed from the bodies of both the imprisoned woman and the tentacle demon. This black liquid quickly ignited upon contact with the flames, and within just a few breaths, both demons were reduced to ashes.

Wu Xian was taken aback.

He had seen a similar black liquid on the body of a security guard who was being stitched up.

"I see!"

"No wonder the evil spirits in this blessed land are so hard to kill... It turns out they're not hard to kill, but rather they're immortal to a certain extent!"

"Once the evil spirit is fatally wounded, black liquid will ooze from its body. At this time, you can use a dagger blessed with the Long-burning character to ignite the black liquid, thereby completing the execution of the evil spirit!"
After killing the two evil spirits, the 'Good Words Sacred Flame Token' that Wu Xian had placed in his clothes heated up, and three brand-new Sacred Flame Talismans appeared in Wu Xian's hand. Each Sacred Flame Talisman could enhance the Burning Dream Dagger once.

This is the second reason why Wu Xian kept the prisoner's head.

He needs to use the Burning Dream Dagger to collect heads in order to maximize his profits!

Without delay, Wu Xian used the three Sacred Flame Talismans one by one on the stairs, completing the enhancement of the Burning Dream Dagger.

This time, Wu Xian did not show favoritism and selected all three options.

The reason for strengthening the Fire Seed is that after slaying three evil spirits in a row, the Burning Dream Dagger only had one kill count left, but after selecting the Fire Seed, it became two kill counts.

After the fire temperature was increased, the flame, which had just turned back to orange-red, turned cherry-red again. It seems that the increase in fire temperature and the increase in fire powder are of the same strength.

After the fire field was enhanced, the flames of the Burning Dream Dagger became even more intense, and from a distance, it looked less like a dagger and more like a flaming short sword.

After the other three enhancements were completed, the conditions for the fourth enhancement, 'Holy Flame of Kind Words,' were met, thus granting the Burning Dream Dagger a special ability!
