Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 963 4:30 AM

"Seven Treasures Taoist..."

"It must be that Taoist priest who suppressed the first evil calamity. Is there any difference between his vision and mine?"

"The window of opportunity to leverage this resource is only one minute, so we should make the most of the treasures outside of that minute."

Wu Xian removed the corpse exorcism mask from his face and looked at the six relatives surrounding him, as well as the newlyweds hanging from the ceiling.

"Now, everything that needed to be done has been done."

"Let us devote all our strength to preparing for the final battle in order to survive!"

……

When, when, when...

At four o'clock in the morning, the bell rang.

Wu Xian sat cross-legged on the relatively clean ground, closing his eyes to rest.

After collecting all the treasures, he led the newlyweds to search the entire venue, collecting as many small props as possible, such as fire-attracting powder.

At this moment, Wu Xian had seven bottles of wound medicine and twelve boxes of fire powder on him, all of which could help him in the final battle.

In addition, they also collected the corpse oil from the floor of the county government hall on the first floor. This corpse oil was dripped from the empty, hanging corpses over the years, forming a thick and sticky layer of oil.

For some reason, this corpse oil cannot be ignited on the ground.

But when you scoop it up from the ground and spread it elsewhere, it becomes excellent fuel, which is why the ground becomes cleaner.

Wu Xian also beat up every small evil spirit he could see until they showed signs of anger on their bodies before he stopped.

This is a casual move, and Wu Xian doesn't know if he can use it, but it's better than doing nothing.

In addition, Wu Xian helped Shi Yan control the two evil spirits with the Soul-Soothing Bell.

Wu Xian made a lot of preparations, but he felt it might not be enough.

When the bell finally stopped ringing, Wu Xian turned to look at Qi Liang:
"You should set off now, and remember to walk slowly."

Qi Liang nodded, picked up the drumsticks for the Dengwen drum, walked to the back of the drum and struck it three times. The resounding drumbeat carried far, and the Death Gate slowly opened, with a red line shooting straight towards the Human Gate on the other side.

Holding two 'beheading documents' already stamped with the official seal, Liu Nana followed Qi Liang into the death gate, which exuded a chilling aura.

Entering the Gate of Death grants one the right to survive.

As for their treasures, the corpse exorcism mask and the cloud-gathering shoes, they were both on Wu Xian's person at this time.

Entering the Gate of Death and reaching the end point will not encounter any particular danger, but it is still necessary to have someone who has been through the Gate of Death before to guide the way. Therefore, although the cold air released by Qi Liang in conjunction with the corpse exorcism mask was quite powerful, Wu Xian still chose to let Qi Liang enter the Gate of Death.

As for Liu Nana, her abilities are not of much help in the final battle, so Wu Xian gave her this spot that was far from the battlefield.

After the two entered the Death Gate, Wu Xian looked at the running man Chen Chao and Shi Yan.

They each took the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword and the Taiyi Salvation Sutra and entered the cage, then locked the cage with chains.

Both of their abilities are very useful, but they are both ranged and do not require manual combat. Therefore, they can still participate in the battle even inside the cage, and the cage's absolute defense saves Wu Xian the trouble of protecting them.

That leaves only Wang Wei and Luo Caixia among the new recruits.

The two sat behind Wu Xian, staring at the red sun clock in front of them. One looked anxious and fearful, while the other was secretly excited.

After taking the "Dragon and Tiger Tonic Pill" twice, Aunt Luo Caixia's physical condition is four times that of an average person, even more exaggerated than Wu Xian's current level. Such fighting power cannot be wasted in the cage.

Wang Wei possesses the human supernatural power - Golden Bell Shield, which, combined with his golden body robe, can provide a full twenty minutes of super strong defense and counterattack. In addition, the dozen or so brass bells hanging from his waist are enough to provide sufficient protection for Luo Caixia and Wu Xianye.

Of course, in the final analysis.

These two were in a much more dangerous situation than the other four. But there was no other way; there were only four absolutely safe spots, and Wu Xian had to make some choices in order to unleash his strongest fighting power in the final battle.

Forced by circumstances, the two had no other choice.

However, there were others in an even more dangerous situation: the eleven newcomers hanging from the ceiling.

These newcomers are powerless and hanging there like targets. Without the key to the water prison, they have no way to revive, and they could lose their lives at any time once the final battle begins.

Wu Xian chose to hold the decisive battle in the county government hall to give these people a chance to survive. If the battlefield had been chosen elsewhere, they would all have been doomed.

Hao Ze held a sharp, short iron weapon in his hand.

Wu Xian specially found these and sent them to them. If the battle became too intense and they were targeted by evil spirits, and Wu Xian had no spare power to protect them, then they could at least use these iron tools to commit suicide, reduce their pain, and die with some dignity.

This is what Wu Xian said to them at the time.

"The key to the water dungeon is gone, but after everything is over, the gods might take pity on us and give us another key. So try not to be killed by evil spirits, that way there will at least be a glimmer of hope."

Everyone knows that these words are just meant to comfort, but even a glimmer of hope is better than utter despair.

Wu Xian looked at the Cursed Dream Dagger, whose flames had been extinguished.

As the number of fire seeds increased, the flame mark disappeared from the dagger, leaving only an oval sun mark.

When the ellipse becomes a perfect circle, Wu Xian can unleash another burst of true solar fire.

But it was too late.

Based on the speed at which the solar imprint changes, it will take at least an hour for the accumulation to be complete, by which time the blessed land will have ended.

Therefore, we can't count on the true fire of the sun.

Wu Xian took one last look at his current abilities. He wouldn't elaborate on the Burning Dream Dance Blade and the treasures, but the other methods he could utilize included:

A full moon mark, a blessing bestowed by thunder and lightning.

There are eight talismans, four of which—the Hundred-Step Piercing Willow Incantation, the Lightning Summoning Incantation, the Sword-Forging-a-Plow Technique, and the Mind-Cleansing and Spirit-Tranquilizing Technique—only have one use left.

The remaining treasures are the Fire God General Technique, the Thunder and Fire Conversion Technique, the Time-Extending Technique, and the completely useless Lotus Step Technique.

With these things in mind, Wu Xian was extremely confident that he could safely get through the last half hour.

Time passed little by little.

The crowd's hearts grew increasingly heavy, and fear spread through the person hanging upside down.

The hands of the red clock slowly moved toward 4:30 a.m.

In the last ten seconds, with each tick of the clock, everyone's hearts pounded, just like a countdown before the party!
Everyone knew that a difficult time was coming.

If you can get over it, you'll live; if you can't, you'll die.

click!
When the clock struck 4:30 a.m., everything seemed to stop, and a heavy, terrifying sound of a door opening came from upstairs.

A chilling mist billowed down from upstairs, reaching up to Wu Xian's calves. Most of the lights on the ceiling went out instantly, and the remaining few flickered dimly, casting a sinister and terrifying atmosphere over the entire county government hall.

The temple of the God of Calamity and the statue of the God of Fortune and Misfortune of the Year both exuded a strange aura, as if what sat there was not an idol, but something that truly possessed life.

Two chess players also came to witness the final outcome.

Wu Xian stood up from the ground.

Sudden!
A ghostly figure dressed in tattered clothes suddenly appeared in front of Wu Xian, then abruptly raised its head, revealing a pale and broken face.

The decisive battle begins!
