Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 941 Strengthening the Limit
As the sun sets in the west, the true fire eventually dies out.

All that remains are ruins ravaged by the high temperatures.

Wu Xian carried a charred corpse in one hand and walked through the thick layer of soot in the smoke-filled corridor.

The place was filled with choking smoke and dust, and the ground was marked with charred marks left by evil spirits when they were burned to death. The wooden bars of the cell were reduced to bamboo shoot-like roots, with a few embers still remaining at the tips, providing light like candlesticks.

Wu Xian moved like an old man taking a stroll, dragging one charred corpse with one hand as he slowly walked towards the third charred corpse.

This charred corpse is a victim of slow slicing.

Before the true fire erupted, the Lingchi Ghost was always outside Wu Xian's attack range, remotely cutting Wu Xian's flesh and blood, which had caused Wu Xian a lot of trouble.

But precisely because of this, the three Lingchi ghosts were not burned to ashes by the true fire of the sun. They were just covered in black liquid and were in a state of waiting to be executed. Even more fortunately, the Lingchi ghosts did not have much flesh on their bodies, so their bodies were very light after they became charred corpses, and Wu Xian was able to move them easily.

After gathering the three charred corpses together, Wu Xian raised the Burning Dream Blade and used his last bit of strength to slash at them.

call!
With one slash,

The charred corpse that had been subjected to slow slicing suddenly began to writhe violently, hissing in its throat, before finally being burned to ashes in agony.

The fourth special effect of the Burning Dream Blade is Collective Slash: When multiple evil spirits are eliminated at once using an item enhanced by the Sacred Flame Talisman, only one slash attempt is consumed.

Therefore, Wu Xian's strike yielded a great reward.

Tap, tap!

Just as Wu Xian was about to check the results of killing the Lingchi Ghost, he suddenly heard an unusual noise behind him. He turned around and saw a huge face.

The lower half of this face is a huge mouth that could swallow three people at once, while the upper half is filled with countless human eyes. The skin between the eyes is severely burned, making it look even more terrifying and disgusting than before.

"Roar!!"

The giant corpse worm roared furiously, making Wu Xian's ears ring.

This monster was also burned by the true fire of the sun, but it was farther away than the Lingchi Ghost, so it still retained the ability to move.

"屮!"

Wu Xian grinned, his lips cracked, and cursed. Without even checking the results, he hurriedly ran away.

The red lines guiding the way nearby have been burned away by real fire, but this real fire also burned away all the obstacles in the distorted maze, and even the dead door can be seen directly.

Wu Xian's injuries were too severe. His head, lungs, muscles, and skin were all in pain. He could only limp when he ran and could not pick up any speed at all.

Fortunately, the true fire of the sun is extremely domineering, and the giant corpse worm cannot heal itself quickly, its speed being about the same as Wu Xian's.

The man and the insect raced at the same pace, a slow life-or-death struggle. Finally, Wu Xian outpaced the insect and escaped through the gate of death first.

After running out of the dead end, Wu Xian glanced at the time.

4:20 AM!
There are less than ten minutes left until 4:30!

Therefore, Wu Xian didn't bother to greet Shi Yan who was hanging upside down and ran straight to the stairs on the right. Given his current state, he was no longer able to do anything else. Going to the water dungeon on the second floor to restart the next round of the blessed land was the most important thing.

Wu Xiangang had just run up the stairs when he heard a whooshing sound behind him. The giant corpse worm's activity range was no longer limited to inside the Death Gate; it had actually chased him out of the Death Gate!

However, it was now impossible for the giant corpse worm to catch up with Wu Xian, so he continued to climb the stairs.

After climbing two steps, Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, Shi Yan!"

For the giant corpse worm, Shi Yan, hanging upside down on the ceiling, was simply fresh flesh and blood delivered to its doorstep, and there was no reason for it to refuse.

But when Wu Xian turned his head, he was surprised to find that the giant corpse worm's crawling trajectory was straight!
Those thousands of eyes didn't even glance at her. As if drawn by something, they crawled along the red line on the ground all the way to the other end of the county government hall corresponding to the death gate.

At this point, Wu Xiancai finally saw the giant corpse worm clearly, except for its face. Its body stretched across the entire county government hall, its skin thick and tough, and upon closer inspection, one could see patterns resembling human figures. It was estimated to be at least twenty or thirty meters long.

What stood in the way of the giant corpse worm was...

Humans!

The Death Gate was the gate for condemned prisoners, while the Human Gate was for county government officials. This gate had been blocked from the beginning by a writhing mass of flesh and blood, and Wu Xian had never had the chance to go in and find out what was going on.

Wu Xian stared at the face of the giant corpse worm, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

"I understand. The condition for opening the Human Gate is to enter the Death Gate and release the Giant Corpse Worm!"

Sure enough, the giant corpse worm only paused for two seconds before biting into the flesh blocking the entrance, tearing off a piece of flesh the size of an adult and swallowing it whole.

Wu Xian wanted to stay here and watch the giant corpse worms break through the door, but he didn't have the time. So he could only take a deep look before staggering and disappearing behind the roller shutter.

Shi Yan, hanging upside down, was still in a daze.

She fainted from fright when the door to death opened, and when she woke up, she found herself the only living person left in the entire hall. Now she saw Wu Xian, covered in wounds, and this enormous worm that could be described as a beast...

"What else is hidden in this blessed land?!"

……

crunch...

The water dungeon gates closed, and the spiraling staircase became pitch black.

Wu Xian did not continue forward, but sat down on the spot and took out a stack of 'Sacred Fire Talismans' from his clothes.

Below this spiral corridor, there is a tentacle monster. If Wu Xian touches it in his current state, he will surely die. Therefore, Wu Xian needs to complete the strengthening here first.

"One, two... there are eight in total."

Since the third playthrough of the Blessed Land, Wu Xian has killed the imprisoned woman, the old man and his mother, Suo Dabao, and three Lingchi ghosts. It was only through these multiple battles that he accumulated eight Sacred Fire Talismans.

Wu Xian held the sacred fire talisman and silently recited prayers.

The sacred fire talismans lit up one after another, turning into sparks that pierced into the Burning Dream Blade.

Wu Xian's original plan was to increase the fire seed by two and the fire temperature and fire field by three each, but as soon as he started to strengthen them, he found that this strengthening was different from the previous one.

After the two sacred fire talismans were added, the flames of the Burning Dream Blade turned white.

However, when Wu Xian wanted to continue the blessing, he found that the fire temperature option had dimmed, and he could no longer use the Sacred Fire Talisman to bless the flame.

Therefore, strengthening the fire temperature five times is the limit of the Sacred Flame Token of Benevolent Words.

Next, Wu Xian chose to strengthen the fire field. After casting three Sacred Fire Talismans, the fire field strengthening reached its limit.

The massive flames were restrained by the 'blade binding' effect. The blade in Wu Xian's hand was still two fingers wide, but its length had reached two meters!

The two-meter-long, pure white flame blade appeared calm, yet it contained a terrifying temperature. Holding it in his hand, Wu Xian felt an immediate sense of security.

Wu Xian had no choice but to throw the next three Sacred Fire Talismans into the fire seed.

Fortunately, the upper limit of the Fire Seed is higher than the other two enhancements. After enhancing it to +6, it can still be enhanced further.

Otherwise, Wu Xian really wouldn't know where to use the Sacred Fire Talisman he obtained in the future.

After using eight Sacred Flame Talismans, the Burning Dream Blade gained new special effects, and the Crescent Moon Mark and random talismans also increased, but Wu Xian did not continue to check.

Because that tentacle monster has already climbed up!
