Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 952: Mysterious Shadows
When Wu Xian asked his advisor to take a closer look, the advisor became somewhat suspicious.

He stood outside the main hall and struggled to make out the face of the person hanging from the roof beam.

But when he escaped from the third hall, he was standing much further away, yet he saw the entire process of the master strangling the madam. He even saw the master's bulging veins and trembling beard very clearly.

Has my eyesight gotten worse?
The advisor's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, making a soft clicking sound.

"So, I was hanging from the roof beam back then."

It was precisely because he was in a superior position that he could see the process so clearly, and that he was so terrified by the master's face that he lost his mind.

"If that's me on top, then who am I?"

The advisor's eyes became somewhat cloudy, his neck began to itch, and he recalled more inconsistencies.

He was the magistrate's advisor, and his power and wealth came from Meng Longtu. Logically speaking, when he learned that the magistrate was possessed by an evil spirit, even if he dared not go back himself, he should have sent someone else to save the magistrate.

So when he first arrived at the second hall, he wanted to call Su Zuotang and the others to go in and rescue the master, but before he could speak, he vaguely heard a voice in his mind calling out:

"Don't look back, don't bring anyone back..."

Therefore, the advisor advised Su Zuotang and the others not to go back.

The voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar at the time, but now it feels incredibly familiar.

"So, that was my soul calling out."

"Luckily, I only brought back one zombie..."

The advisor's eyes became completely cloudy. He lowered his head, his arms hung limply at his sides, and his neck stretched to twice the normal length, standing like the figures in the main hall. His last vestiges of consciousness vanished without a trace.

……

Meng Longtu, dressed in the robes of a county magistrate, turned around.

The wide sleeves of his green robe were supported by his muscular body, making him look like a small giant. His face was contorted with a ferocious expression, and there seemed to be veins throbbing in the corners of his eyes. His red eyes first swept over Wu Xian, and then landed on the advisor who had just undergone a strange change.

call!
The advisor standing beside Wu Xian seemed to be summoned by something and suddenly pounced on Wu Xian.

The advisor moved with incredible speed, his body half-real and half-ethereal, his eyes filled with a sinister crimson light, his three-inch fingernails as black as ink, and he left afterimages behind him as he moved, he was simply a malevolent ghost.

But Wu Xian's fist was faster than the advisor's!
Bang!
Before the ghost could even touch Wu Xian, it was punched and sent flying. Its body flew through three pine trees before finally stopping in mid-air!
Wu Xian's gaze sharpened. This advisor had lost his physical form and had completely transformed into an invisible ghost!

It seems that the advisor had become a ghost long ago, but only after the truth of his death was revealed did he shed his human form and completely transform into a demon.

After stopping, the advisor paused for two seconds, then straightened his body, stretched out his arms, and stretched his neck forward as much as possible, almost level with his fingers. He moved toward Wu Xianping with a shrill roar. The strange roar was extremely penetrating. If an ordinary person had heard it, they probably would have covered their ears by now.

Wu Xian dared not be careless. Although he was faster and stronger, the advisor's attack was not to be underestimated. His illusory body could ignore the solid defense and directly touch the soft internal organs.

Therefore, Wu Xian took a step back to avoid the attack, and then chopped down with his right elbow like a battle axe on the back of the advisor. The huge force knocked the advisor to the ground, and before he could get up, Wu Xian stomped on the advisor's neck and broke it.

After being hit by three consecutive blows, even the strategist's ghostly body was shattered by Wu Xian, resembling a phantom humanoid semi-transparent gel, writhing on the ground with black liquid faintly oozing out.

A strange, transparent chain appeared vaguely around the clerk's neck, extending all the way to Meng Longtu's official robe. Then, an evil aura emerged from the robe and crawled along the chain into the clerk's shattered body.

The chains disappeared, and the clerk's battered body began to slowly heal with a cracking sound!

Wu Xian's gaze was gloomy.

It can regenerate itself?

This is much more troublesome than sewing up security guards, and there are more than just one or two of these things; Meng Longtu has a whole group of them.

Moreover, if Wu Xian wasn't mistaken, the clerk's appearance was exactly the same as the ghostly figure that would appear after the cinema on the third floor of the museum opened at 4:30 in the morning. And the number of ghostly figures after the cinema was simply... endless!
In the next playthrough's blessed land, will he have to withstand an attack from countless of these creatures for half an hour? ...

The strategist's resurrection will take some time.

Wu Xian looked at Meng Longtu, thinking that to capture the thief, one must first capture the leader. But he saw that the dozen or so figures standing next to Meng Longtu all raised their heads at the same time, and each of their necks was more than twice the size of a normal person's!
"Roar!"

The magistrate's wife was the first to let out a shriek, and behind her, a dozen long-necked ghostly figures, each with an illusion, drifted toward Wu Xian from all directions.

Wu Xian took a deep breath of the chilling aura, standing ready and watching every ghostly figure.

The first one to rush over was the county magistrate's wife. She had barely reached within three steps of Wu Xian when she was kicked in the abdomen by Wu Xian's black leather boots, and her illusory body flew backward like a cannonball.

Before the lady's body hit the ground, Wu Xian delivered another side kick, sending Magistrate Meng Longtu's mother flying.

Then came the son, the daughter, the lover...

If Wu Xian were new to this blessed land, he would have had some trouble dealing with these ghostly figures, but now he has the power to beat them up with his bare hands.

However, even with his absolute advantage in speed and strength, Wu Xian was afraid that he would be outnumbered and injured if he was ambushed. Therefore, Wu Xian fought very cautiously, trying to use his legs to attack and maintaining a relatively safe distance from all the ghostly figures.

With a flicker of his legs, Wu Xian's movements were even more beautiful than those of a master of legwork in a martial arts drama.

Wu Xian had specially trained his leg techniques in order to control "Aggression Like Fire," but his leg techniques were far from being aesthetically pleasing.

It looks good only because it's fast and strong enough. Many fight scenes are not good because they are not fast or strong enough.

Ghostly figures flickered, and the battle was at a stalemate.

However, Meng Longtu, who looked extremely strong, did not join the battle. Instead, he turned around, squatted down, and continued to wrap chains around the corpses, hanging them up one by one.

Hiss, hiss...

The strange friction sound seemed to be providing accompaniment for Wu Xian's battle.

Every time a new corpse is hoisted up, another long-necked ghostly figure joins the ranks of those attacking Wu Xian, increasing the pressure on him.

Wu Xian made several attempts to break through and directly attack Meng Longtu, who was controlling everything, but he was stopped by these ghostly figures.

The ghostly figures moved ruthlessly and insidiously, each strike aimed at Wu Xian's internal organs, their eyes filled with a desire to tear Wu Xian apart.

At this moment, Wu Xian began to regret not bringing Lei Weiguo along. With the Burning Dream Blade, the defeated ghost shadows could be executed, effectively reducing their number.

But then he thought again, with so many ghostly figures attacking him, he couldn't even protect himself, let alone let Lei Weiguo survive in this environment.

The Ghost Shadow Advisor, who had been the first to be defeated by Wu Xian, had fully recovered and joined the ranks of those besieging Wu Xian.

The pressure Wu Xian felt was increasing, and more and more ghostly figures were attacking him. Even maintaining a safe distance had become a luxury.

Meng Longtu finally hoisted everyone out of the mansion, stood up and stared at Wu Xian, who was shrouded in ghostly shadows, with a strange smile on his face.

Judging from the current situation...

This battle is already showing signs of turning into a protracted war.

It all depends on whether Wu Xian's stamina or Meng Longtu's ability to restore the ghostly figures runs out first.

But for Wu Xian, the battle was already over.
