Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 898 The Stone Lock Smashes Down
Wu Xian's pupils dilated slightly.

This is a spell he cast!
With the blessing of the seventh level of Daoist cultivation, its power is seven times greater than that of ordinary incantations, and the speed of this arrow is also several times faster than that of the True Fire Incantation.

Even a powerful evil spirit would be injured if hit by this attack.

The evil spirits in this blessed land have unusual vitality, so it's understandable that the injuries sustained after being hit are not severe.

But just as he was about to be hit, he caught the arrow without even raising his head...

"Wait, don't..."

Wu Xian looked at Yang Lin, but Yang Lin had already used the decapitation curse as agreed.

A headless demon emanating black energy appeared behind the thin, malevolent spirit, raised its massive decapitation blade, and brought it down with deadly force. Under the mechanism of the decapitation curse, the first strike accurately hit the thin, malevolent spirit's neck.

But this powerful and heavy slash only managed to cut through the evil spirit's skin!

The headless demon, seeing that its first strike had failed to decapitate the head, was about to unleash a second blow.

But at that moment, the thin, evil spirit grabbed the stone and swung it with one hand. The stone, carrying a strong wind, struck the headless demon's chest like a pottery jar, and black energy spread in all directions. The ground shook when the stone landed!
It turns out that the stone the evil spirit was holding onto was actually a large stone lock used to train strength!
The thin, malevolent spirit, carrying a stone lock in one hand, looked like a strongman crawling out of hell. It slowly stood up from the ground, raised its head, and stared at Wu Xian and the others, its eyes flashing with a frenzied fighting spirit!
Just by looking into the eyes of this thin, evil spirit, Wu Xian felt as if ten children with razors were holding them to his throat and laughing, giving him goosebumps all over his body.

"This thing must have escaped from a fantasy movie set!"

Based on his intuition alone, Wu Xian felt that he definitely couldn't deal with this thin and weak evil spirit without using the 'True Fire of the Sun Talisman'.

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

Wu Xian hurriedly called to the three newcomers, and the four of them ran back down the corridor in a disheveled state.

……

Fortunately, the thin, evil spirit did not rush into the corridor. Unfortunately, there seemed to be footsteps on the corridor ceiling!

Thump, thump, thump... The footsteps are getting closer.

Wu Xian's expression changed slightly, and he whispered a warning to the others: "Be careful, don't make too much noise."

But he didn't expect that his warning would also exceed the safe volume, and the footsteps quickly reached his head and stopped.

Wu Xian felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly rolled over in front of him like a lazy donkey.

boom!
After a loud crash, a huge stone lock suddenly fell from where Wu Xian had just been standing. The stone lock smashed through the ceiling and left a shallow crater in the ground!
Whoosh, la la...

The small, malevolent creature lifted the stone lock, then poked its head through the opening, grinning menacingly at Wu Xian and the others before lifting the stone lock again.

Wu Xian got up and swallowed hard. If he were hit by this thing, even with his naturally thick skin, he would be smashed into a meat pie!

Dong Dong, Dong Dong...

The evil spirit carrying the stone lock moved with light, effortless steps, each step feeling as if it were treading on the hearts of everyone present.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Wei glanced at the crowd and ran away without looking back. He possessed the supernatural ability of 'landing silently,' so no matter how he ran, he wouldn't make a sound, thus preventing the thin, evil spirit from easily locking onto him.

After one person left, the three moved slowly down the corridor.

This evil spirit seemed to have exceptionally sensitive hearing, able to hear even the slightest noise, and it smashed the stone lock very quickly, attacking once every ten seconds or so.

Boom, boom!
The three of them were left with numb ears from the loud noise.

Moreover, this evil spirit doesn't only use sound to locate; sometimes it can predict the location or misalign its footsteps with the landing point of the stone lock.

Wu Xian and his group entered the corridor without incident, but their return journey was fraught with danger. The most dangerous incident involved a stone lock scraping against Wu Xian's back, causing him a burning pain all over his back, while Xie Yulan's face was grazed by a flying brick.

It took the three of them almost ten minutes to escape the corridor, which was less than 100 meters long.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Wang Wei squatting on the ground, his face ashen, as if he had just encountered something dangerous.

Wu Xian looked at the small square and immediately understood the reason.

The prisoner girl who should have been hanging on the ceiling of the small square has disappeared. Looking at the streets in front and behind, they can see that the red light is moving slowly, and the prisoner girl is about to climb to their position!

Wu Xian immediately warned Yang Lin and Xie Yulan not to move, and then took out a mask he had taken from the clothing store on the first floor and put it on.

After putting on her mask, the female prisoner crawled over with a rustling sound.

The prisoner's strength is equivalent to a top-tier evil spirit, or even close to a malevolent fiend. She was once instantly killed by Wu Xian using a celestial-grade talisman, but she was reborn after time was reset.

It seems that with each time time resets, they have to face all kinds of evil spirits.

As before, the prisoner slowly patrolled the streets, punishing anything that dared to move without permission.

Wu Xian had already found a seat.

While waiting for the imprisoned woman, Wu Xian began to recall his experiences at the Xiao residence.

Both the Ye and Su residences had some kind of rule-based mechanisms, so Wu Xian assumed that the Xiao residence was the same as the two residences mentioned above.

But to Wu Xian's surprise, there was only one evil spirit in the Xiao mansion that was far too powerful!
The treasure was clearly on the evil spirit's back, but until they had gathered enough power, they probably wouldn't be able to snatch it from the frail creature.

Then there's Wang Wei.

Wu Xian had nothing to say about Wang Wei leaving first; it was just human nature.

The problem is that Wang Wei abandoned the job too decisively, and he was too skilled at sneaking into the security guard's rest room. Wu Xian guessed that he was probably not engaged in a legitimate industry in the real world.

While Wu Xian was pondering, the prisoner had already crawled over.

The first person to suffer was Wu Xian. She crawled all over Wu Xian like a fly, and even tried to stuff her foul-smelling tongue into Wu Xian's mouth.

However, Wu Xian had already experienced it once, so her psychological tolerance had increased. In addition, the mask blocked her tongue, so Wu Xian only felt a slight ripple in her heart throughout the process.

Next was Yang Lin, who remained unmoved throughout the harassment by the imprisoned woman, demonstrating remarkable patience.

Wang Wei is in big trouble.

The prisoner seemed to like him very much, touching his eyeballs one moment, licking all his teeth the next, and scratching his face with her fingernails. The intensity of her harassment was completely different from that of the others.

Therefore, the more times one encounters the prisoner, the more intense her methods of testing those who pretend to be unmoved will become.

The last person targeted by the prisoner was Xie Yulan.

Xie Yulan had worked with Yang Lin and Wang Wei on the first floor to deal with the security guards who were sewing up, so her mental fortitude was also up to par.

But when the prisoner's tongue licked the wounds on her face, the stinging pain still made her instinctively flinch away.

With that dodge, she was suspended in mid-air by a white ribbon!
