Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 964 Embrace and Death

The appearance of the first ghostly figure was like a signal.

The next second, countless eerie figures suddenly appeared throughout the entire county government hall.

Without warning or any process, it was as if these ghostly figures had been there from the beginning, only to be allowed to be seen at 4:30 a.m.

All the ghostly figures had their heads down, their arms hanging limply, and their lower bodies hidden in the slowly churning cold mist. The chilling aura emanating from them made the county government hall even colder and more oppressive.

These ghostly figures looked exactly like the ones Wu Xian encountered in the third hall of the county government office, except that there were at least thirty ghostly figures in the third hall, while here...

A quick glance reveals at least a hundred of them!

Wu Xian frowned, his expression becoming somewhat grave.

Both Luo Caixia and Wang Wei were seeing such ghostly figures for the first time. Seeing the hall suddenly become lively, they were greatly shocked.

The ghostly figure closest to Luo Caixia slowly raised its head. It had no eyeballs, and blood was still flowing out of its two dark eye sockets.

"whee……"

The ghostly figure grinned at her, then suddenly raised its hand and grabbed at Luo Caixia's face!
His fingernails were black and sharp, the tips aimed at Luo Caixia's eyes, clearly intending to scratch her face to pieces.

"Ah!"

Luo Caixia was so frightened that her mind went blank. She screamed and then reflexively swung her arm in a wide arc, delivering a powerful slap!

The large fist first broke the ghost's arm, then struck the ghost's head solidly, slamming the ghost into the ground with a loud bang. Before the ghost's body disappeared, the upper half of its face had already been deformed by the blow.

Because the ghost's body is illusory, it's impossible to know how deep the blow will penetrate.

Luo Caixia stared blankly at her hands, then belatedly gasped. When her stats reached a certain level, these seemingly terrifying evil spirits didn't seem so scary anymore.

"Watch your back!"

Suddenly, Wang Wei shouted a reminder.

When Luo Caixia turned around, she was so frightened that her heart almost stopped. There was a distorted and deformed ghost face right next to her, with its sharp nose touching her chubby cheek.

Just then, a large sword emanating black energy suddenly pierced between the two faces. Then, the sword was raised horizontally, and the dense black energy at the hilt formed a headless demon. The ghostly figure gripped the hilt with both hands and slashed horizontally with force, and the ghostly figure's head flew off instantly.

The headless executioner joins the war!

Luo Caixia hurriedly thanked Chen Chao, the man running in the cage, but Chen Chao was busy and didn't have time to respond to her thanks.

At this moment, Chen Chao sat cross-legged at the front of the cage, with a headless executioner standing behind him and a row of whetstones placed beneath him. Including the three uses of the decapitation curse itself, he could release a total of sixteen headless executioners!
Then, the executioners appeared one after another in the darkness.

These executioners were all shirtless, and from the outline of the black mist, one could see their muscular chests and protruding bellies; each of them had a physique of fat covering muscle.

Whenever a new executioner appears, the head of a ghostly figure flies off.

One of the characteristics of a headless executioner is that his first swing of the blade will always strike the enemy's neck!

Once his special ability was depleted, the executioner began to fight the surrounding ghostly figures. At this point, the executioner's movements were not even as powerful as the ghostly figures. His only advantage was that he no longer had a head, a vital organ, and he had an extra weapon in his hand.

puff...

An executioner fell under the relentless onslaught, his muscular belly ripped open, and ghostly figures tore at his internal organs, which were condensed from black mist.

However, the black aura emanating from this executioner surged into the other executioners, making them even more ferocious in their battle.

So, the county government hall turned into a meat grinder for ghosts, with a sinister and evil aura swirling like a whirlwind, stirring up the mist on the ground.

...Wu Xian, Luo Caixia, and Wang Wei, who should have been at the center of the battle, were instead left with nothing to do, simply standing back to back, cautiously observing the battle situation.

Wu Xian had planned in advance to send the headless executioner to fight first.

Wu Xian didn't know how the final battle would begin, so in order not to be caught off guard, he had Shi Yan and Chen Chao, who were in a safe environment, use their abilities to withstand the first wave of attacks.

This helps to see through the enemy's tactics and reduces the pressure on Wu Xian and his two companions.

but……

Isn't this a bit too much pressure?
Wu Xian never expected that the headless executioner alone would be able to entangle all the ghosts and even show signs of gaining the upper hand!
"Something's not right, something's not right!"

Wu Xian frowned as he watched the ghostly figures and evil spirits fighting.

Although the number of ghostly figures that had just attacked was astonishing and they fought with extraordinary ferocity, it was completely different from the final battle that Wu Xian had envisioned.

It should be noted that the number of ghostly figures Wu Xian saw in the video was terrifying, at least several hundred. Moreover, the ghostly figures he faced in the Three Halls would regenerate at an alarming rate with Meng Longtu's support.

There are only a little over a hundred ghostly figures right now, and they disappear as soon as they die without rejoining the battle. There must be something fishy going on here!

The only good news is that these ghostly figures haven't yet attempted to attack the upside-down newcomers.

……

The chaotic battle continues.

Besides Wu Xian and the other two, executioners or ghostly figures would fall every few seconds.

When enough executioners have died, the scales of victory begin to tip in the executioners' favor.

Once a ghost is dead, it is dead; the fewer the ghosts, the weaker their attack power.

However, the power of the dead executioners would transform into the strength of the surviving executioners, making them stronger and stronger, and causing them to begin to develop armor made of condensed black energy.

When only two executioners remained on the scene, the battle became completely one-sided. The black, headless behemoth dealt with the ghost as if it were a chick, easily tearing it to shreds, while the ghost's claws could only leave scratches on the black armor...

Even Wu Xian couldn't help but admire the two burly executioners.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure for killing. Simply by combining it with the Decapitation Curse, it can form such powerful combat capabilities without any need for cultivation.

You should know that these headless executioners are at their strongest when only one of them survives!

"Roar, ah!!"

Soon, only one ghostly figure remained on the scene.

The ghostly figure was being held in the arms of two large, black men at the same time, which looked somewhat ambiguous, but the ghostly figure was letting out inhuman screams.

The two headless executioners embraced each other more and more tightly, and the pressure felt by the ghostly figure increased sharply.

In the end, the ghost was hugged and exploded!

puff!
The chaotic battlefield finally quieted down. The two large, black men separated and began wiping the foul-smelling blood off each other's armor...

Wu Xian looked at the time.

It was 4:37 a.m.

The final battle had lasted less than seven minutes...
