Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 962 The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword

Wu Xianping held the dagger, examining it quietly.

Then, he clenched his fist tightly.

laugh!
In an instant, a white light burst forth before Wu Xian's eyes!
The blade at the front of the Cursed Dream Dagger instantly transformed into a two-meter-long bright white blade, and a white flame ribbon more than four meters long trailed behind the hilt. The ribbon slowly stretched and curved, surrounding Wu Xian as if gently embracing him.

Then, Wu Xian gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung it forward several times.

The fiery blade stirred up a surge of heat on the ground, followed by a lingering afterimage that slashed down half a beat later. The ribbons behind the hilt suddenly danced wildly, churning dazzling streams of fire around Wu Xian. The blazing white trails seemed to weave a white net, and scalding sparks flew everywhere, causing countless fleeting flames to bloom wherever they landed...

The shimmering lights, reflected in everyone's eyes, resembled stars in the night sky.

Liu Nana couldn't help but exclaim, "This, this is really so beautiful..."

Shi Yan nodded: "It's as if a graceful and beautiful dancer resides within that knife, dancing with flames in her hand."

Qi Liang sighed, "Just like what Wu Xian said when we were reading the prophecy, although there are many ghosts and monsters in the blessed land, sometimes you can also see beautiful scenery that is detached from reality..."

This man yearns for beauty and romance from the bottom of his heart; otherwise, he would not have been able to build a music culture museum from scratch.

"It's a pity the dancer is a curly-haired man..."

Hao Ze, the gossipy character hanging from the ceiling, shattered all the beautiful illusions with a single sentence.

Wu Xian stopped what he was doing and stared at the flames on the ribbon.

Faintly visible on the flames were names that only he could see.

Niu Wuliu, Zhao Laosan, Ling Niangzi, Ga Wa... and at the end of the ribbon was a name called 'Qi Jinghong'.

Wu Xian opened the ordination certificate and looked at the description of the item in his hand.

This knife still has three attributes: fire, fire temperature, and fire field, as well as seven special effects: carbonization, imitation, blade binding, sunlight, charging, group slash, and fire regeneration.

After the prisoner woman performed the final enhancement on this sword, there were three changes in total.

First, the name of the Burning Dream Blade has been changed to 'Burning Dream Dance Blade'. When the blade is swung, the flame ribbons behind the hilt will dance with the blade, causing additional fire damage.

Secondly, the special effect of 'Fire Regeneration' has been enhanced. The flame ribbons will automatically absorb the energy of the slain evil spirits, thereby increasing the fire more efficiently.

Finally, there is the illusory fire seed.

After several battles, the current flame of the Burning Dream Blade is '18', but there is also an illusory number 325 after 18.

The number 325 represents the illusory fire seed. The function of a single illusory fire seed is relatively weak. Several illusory fire seeds need to be used together to increase the number of kills. Moreover, each illusory fire seed can only be used once. Each time an illusory fire seed is consumed, the ribbon of the Burning Dream Dance Blade will become shorter.

If you choose to consume all the illusory flames at once, you can enhance the destructive power of the Burning Dream Blade in the next attack.

After reviewing all the enhancements, Wu Xian flicked his hand, and the flames on the blade dissipated, returning it to its simple form as a dagger.

The imprisoned woman's name was Qi Jinghong. After her name was cleared, the white silk that had hanged her transformed into a dancing silk that she moved with. Perhaps before she married, she had dreamed of becoming a dancer...

"Don't worry, I will make good use of these fires."

...Wu Xian tucked the dagger into his waistband and sat with the six newlyweds, a red wooden box on the ground in the middle.

They are opening blind boxes, and the effects of two treasures are still unknown. All that is known is that they correspond to the decapitation curse and the requiem bell.

Wu Xian rubbed his hands together and opened the first blind box, which was the long wooden box that the strongman from the Xiao family had been carrying on his back.

Inside the wooden box was a simple, ancient sword.

The hilt and scabbard of the ancient sword are polished to a shine from long-term use, but there is no damage. There is a leather strap on the hilt, so the sword can be worn on clothing.

Wu Xian drew his sword a short distance, and those around him simultaneously felt a chilling killing intent wash over them, as if countless blades were simultaneously slicing through their bodies. Three large characters were inscribed on the gleaming blade in seal script...

Demon-Slaying Sword!
Wu Xian swallowed hard and tried to touch the blade, only to find that his fingers actually passed right through it.

He sheathed the sword and examined its description.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword:
The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas has six magical artifacts, one of which is the Demon-Slaying Sword, which can slay all evil spirits in the world. Tai Sui witnessed the Great God slaying the Bull Demon and admired him greatly. Therefore, every year at the beginning of the year, he would take a silhouette of this sword for a moment, collect the number of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and sculpt the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword!

This sword is one of the seven treasures used to suppress Xuanling County. It is made from a silhouette, so it cannot be used to kill enemies. Wearing this sword will increase the base damage against demons and evil spirits.

When this sword is used with the decapitation spell, the headless executioner will not automatically dissipate, and its first strike will always hit the enemy's neck. After the headless executioner dies, its power will be absorbed by other surviving headless executioners...

The power of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword is undeniably strong. If Wu Xian had nurtured it from the beginning, its potential might have been much higher than that of the Sacred Flame Token of Benevolent Words.

Unfortunately, he acquired the sword too late and didn't have time to nurture it. Fortunately, Wu Xian had accumulated a lot of whetstones beforehand, so the sword could immediately become a weapon.

The second blind box came from Su Xianqing.

When the box was opened, it contained a tattered ancient book with a hanging rope at one end.

Taiyi Jiuku Jing (fragmentary version):
The Celestial Venerable resides in the Pure Land of Eternal Joy, in the Eastern Palace of Wondrous Splendor. He is of great holiness, great compassion, and great vows, responding to all cries for help and rescuing those in distress. He descends to earth on the third and ninth days of each month to universally save all living beings…

This scripture is a fragment of the *Taiyi Jiuku Hushen Miaojing*, one of the seven treasures used to suppress Xuanling County. Those who possess this scripture are immune to evil influences and have enhanced resistance to various evil spirits and sorcery. After suppressing evil spirits, reciting this scripture and shaking the Soul-Soothing Bell can release the tormented souls trapped within them, helping them to ascend to eternal life. The remaining fragments of the body are more easily controlled by the Soul-Soothing Bell…

This treasure is also quite useful; simply carrying the incomplete copy on your person can reduce the probability of being ambushed by evil spirits and their strange abilities.

"To hear cries of distress and respond to pleas, to relieve suffering and rescue those in distress..."

When Wu Xian first entered the blessed land, he might have felt that the introduction of the immortals and gods was somewhat hypocritical, but after experiencing so much, his thoughts gradually changed.

"There are so many blessed places in this world, but endless suffering. You simply can't save them all."

Wu Xian sighed and shook his head.

"I have obtained all seven treasures. Now let me see what will happen after I collect them all."

Wu Xian donned a golden robe, wore a dragon tendon and tiger bone bracelet on his wrist, covered his face with a corpse exorcism mask, wore cloud-gathering shoes, carried the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword on his back, hung the "Taiyi Salvation Sutra" at his waist, and held the Burning Dream Dance Blade in his hand, with the seven great treasures gathered on his body.

He opened the ordination certificate for his kin, and sure enough, new information appeared on it.

The Patriarch borrowed power from: the Seven Treasures Taoist!
By collecting all the treasures of Xuanling County, one can borrow the power of the 'Seven Treasures Taoist' for one minute. During this time, one will have the Seven Treasures Taoist's vision and enhance the effects of all worship items.
