Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 930 The Battle of Middle-Aged Men
The moment the golden lightning struck, the passion that the middle-aged people had long lost was rekindled, and amidst passionate shouts and angry roars, the battle horn was sounded.

The middle-aged and elderly people engaged in a fierce and exhilarating battle against the horde of corpses that surged in like a tide!

Fang Aimin stood at the forefront, like the strongest fortress.

He vented all his hatred for his wife's death on these evil spirits. To protect his companions, he did not retreat an inch. Whenever the horde of corpses pressed down, he would roar and release a golden light that carried his faith, piercing and cutting through the horde of corpses. His simple robes, when worn, shone with a dazzling golden light!
Qi Liang stood guard at the left-side gap.

He exuded a chilling aura of death, and the four eyes on the corpse mask were even more terrifying, staring at the horde of corpses as if they were just looking at a pile of dead bodies.

Whenever a hungover corpse, suffering from severe injuries, exudes black water, Qi Liang absorbs the black water as corpse energy, preventing the corpse from reviving while simultaneously accumulating a terrifying chill.

When enough energy has accumulated, he will stretch out his palm and sprinkle out a patch of freezing mist, freezing any approaching hanging corpses into ice sculptures. These hanging corpses will then be squeezed by the hanging corpses behind them, causing them to fall and crash onto the stairs, turning into pieces on the ground. Qi Liang will then have more corpse energy to absorb.

Tour guide Luo Caixia, an elderly woman, stood guard in the gap on the right side of the Bell Tower.

She wielded a shovel with the ferocity of a pear blossom splitting axe, and with one shovel strike, flesh was pulverized and bones were shattered. This woman, who was slightly overweight, was even more valiant than an ancient general at this moment!
As the battle progressed, she finally figured out the new abilities she had gained from the illusion.

This ability is very simple.

It simply allows her to attack evil spirits on an equal footing.

The helplessness of ordinary people when facing evil spirits is often not due to a lack of courage to resist, but rather because even if they do resist, their attacks are completely ineffective against the evil spirits.

Some evil spirits are theoretically no stronger than a fierce dog, but even a dog, if it can't be killed, can do some pretty terrifying things.

After Luo Caixia consumed the Dragon Tiger Tonic Pill, although her strength and speed surpassed those of ordinary people, she could not fully exert this power on the evil spirits. She could only suppress them with the blood-stained shovel. After leaving the illusion, her extraordinary power could be fully exerted on the empty-stomached hanging corpse!
Wherever the shovel passed, the hanging corpses were shattered; how could such power be described?

Xu Dayu, who repairs air conditioners, hid behind Fang Aimin.

He wasn't as strong as the other three, but he had his own fighting style. Whenever too many hanging corpses gathered in a certain spot on the stairs, he would target the hanging corpse at the bottom and use the decapitation spell. After the headless demon appeared, he would slash it down three times, which would kill at least two hanging corpses.

Wan Siming, who was selling cultural and creative products and wearing a straw hat, had no room to intervene. His ability was too physically demanding, so he could only act as a support group in the rear, constantly encouraging the people who were fighting and providing them with strong moral support.

As for the most important Wu Xian...

Wu Xian did nothing. After unleashing a bolt of lightning, he took a few steps back, opened an energy drink, and leisurely enjoyed watching the middle-aged men's passionate battle, while mentally strategizing.

In reality, this battle didn't seem as thrilling as described above.

The fight between the middle-aged men and women was far from stylish; instead, it was quite pathetic. Sweat, snot, and saliva flew everywhere, and they made numerous basic mistakes. They were only forced to participate in the fight in such an unseemly manner in order to survive.

But Wu Xian felt that the very act of daring to step up was already quite admirable.

Therefore, Wu Xian wanted to describe this battle in his mind in a more exciting way.

It's definitely not about finding some amusement in a boring spectator game, so I'm not adding drama to what I see...

The battle lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended. The stairs were covered with empty, hanging corpses, and all the black water was absorbed by Qi Liang into the corpse exorcism mask.

After obtaining the Corpse Nuo Opera Mask, Qi Liang's 'Corpse Transformation Technique' has reached its complete form. If he can accumulate enough cold energy, the power he can unleash may not be inferior to Wu Xian's Burning Dream Blade.

These empty, suspended corpses, now reduced to fragments, are not truly dead. However, it will likely take them a very long time to revive, by which time Wu Xian and his group will have already achieved their goal.

……

Wu Xian led the five exhausted middle-aged newcomers down the stairs littered with corpses and greeted Shi Yan and Liu Nana, who were hanging upside down from the ceiling. The two girls had watched the entire battle and were stunned by the performance of the older men and women.

Why are these uncles and aunts able to fight to this extent when they are also newcomers?

Wu Xian didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with so many hanging corpses, yet they were repeatedly driven to the brink of despair by the evil spirits.

Wu Xian asked Shi Yan in confusion, "Where's Wang Wei? Didn't he go into the safe house with you? How come you're the only one still alive?"

“There were bewitching evil spirits in the safe house. Wang Wei couldn’t resist them and committed suicide before the time reset, so only I survived.”

Shi Yan only told them the result, keeping the secret that Wang Wei was a serial killer.

Wu Xian noticed that her words were unclear and had long guessed that Wang Wei's background was problematic, but he didn't really care. As long as Wang Wei's matter didn't affect the progress of the blessed land, that was fine.

Without the empty-bellied corpse hanging there, the main hall of the county government office on the first floor became a rare safe area.

Wu Xian invited the five newcomers to sit down and rest. He then went to the right-hand entrance of the corridor between the two ceremonial gates and gave each of them two bottles of energy drinks to replenish their energy.

After a fierce battle, the uncles and aunties were exhausted and, disregarding their disgust, lay down on the corpse oil ground, panting heavily.

Wan Siming, who did not participate in the battle, was so exhausted that he closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.

But Wu Xian didn't wake him up. It was not yet 2:20, and they had nothing else to do before the call of the Gate of Death appeared at 2:44.

Let them enjoy this precious time in comfort.

……

The hands of the red-sun clock swung slowly, and soon it was 2:40. Wu Xian called the newlyweds to their feet.

In four minutes, a call will come from inside the Death Gate. They will need to answer a question correctly to enter the Death Gate.

When Liu Nana opened the Death Gate last time, she was asked the number of living people. If the same question is asked this time, then the answer should be eight.

But no one could guarantee that the same problem wouldn't occur again, so Wu Xian carefully explained:

"Please be mentally prepared. No matter what happens, do not act impulsively. Act calmly and do not make decisions on your own."

"I will answer the questions. If I am unable to speak, then Qi Liang will answer them."

A little while later, the clock struck 2:44 a.m.

Strange noises began to appear behind the Death Gate.

Creak, creak... It sounded like someone was scratching the door with their fingernails.

A hoarse voice asked loudly, "Is anyone outside?"

Wu Xian stepped forward: "Someone's here!"

"I am under orders from the magistrate to guard the gate. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. Only those who answer the security questions correctly may enter. Now, everyone, please listen carefully to the questions..."
