Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 965 Reinforcements Arrive
"Wow, that really surprises me."

Meng Longtu's voice echoed in the main hall of the county government office.

The voice was a half-smile, carrying a chill that seemed to pierce to the bone. The newlyweds all got goosebumps when they heard it.

Wu Xian looked around and listened intently, but he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.

"The last time we met was the last time."

"I didn't expect that just one time would result in such a completely different level of power for you. You didn't even need to lift a finger to block my hundreds of 'Chang Gui' (a type of ghost). It seems I've lost this bet..."

Listening to Meng Longtu's slightly mocking nonsense, Wu Xian rolled his eyes:
"Then why don't you just admit defeat? Besides, you said it was the first wave of attacks, which means there will be more attacks later, right?"

Meng Longtu gave a strange laugh but did not reply.

Wu Xian continued shouting, "In this gamble, we're both just pawns. Shouting like this is hurting your voice. Can you come out and talk to me face to face?"

"puff!"

Meng Longtu scoffed, then burst into maniacal laughter:

"Do you think I would repeat the same mistake and show myself in front of you again after I was killed by your strange ranged attack last time?"

Wu Xian ignored the sarcasm in the laughter, his eyes flashing with a questioning look:

"So... these ghostly figures don't regenerate on their own, not because they're weaker than before, but because you deliberately didn't repair their bodies to avoid me finding your true form's hiding place based on the flickering chains during regeneration!"

"clever!"

"But if that's all there is to it, surviving until dawn will be a piece of cake, so... the next attack will probably be even stronger than this one."

Meng Longtu did not respond.

The main hall of the county government office fell silent once again.

Upon hearing that the next attack would be even stronger, the newcomers on the ceiling held their breath, scanning their surroundings to keep an eye out for any unusual movements by Wu Xian and the others.

Luo Caixia picked up a nearly two-meter-long piece of rebar from the ground. This thing had been placed in a room on the left side of the first-floor corridor, but it was too heavy for anyone to use as a weapon. However, it was actually quite light for her now.

Wu Xian's face darkened.

Based on the changes in the ghostly figure and the conversation with Meng Longtu, it can be seen that Meng Longtu is not an enemy who will act step by step according to the pre-arranged plan. Like the familiars, he will adjust his tactics according to the performance of Wu Xian and others.

Such an enemy is worthy to be a pawn of the wicked Heavenly Demon God.

Therefore, the upcoming offensive will definitely not be easy, and the remaining twenty minutes are likely to be tough.

Therefore, it is advisable to avoid taking action personally as much as possible.

The later his intelligence is revealed, the less likely the enemy will be to make targeted deployments.

……

when!
Shortly after the conversation ended, the Red Sun Clock struck, announcing the time at 4:40 a.m.

In other words, Meng Longtu's offensive will take place every ten minutes, and then you only need to defend against two more waves of attacks.

call……

A gust of cold wind blew by, and countless distorted ghostly figures reappeared in the mist.

No, perhaps it shouldn't be called a ghost anymore.

They are Meng Longtu's 'Changgui', so they should be called... Demon Changgui!

Wu Xian looked around and found that these demonic accomplices were indeed different from before.

First, their numbers were significantly fewer, numbering only about fifty or sixty. They were all roughly the same height and appearance, but multiple twisted, withered arms sprouted from their shoulders or ribs. Each demonic ghoul had at least six arms, some even eight or nine. Before the group could even register the demonic ghouls' transformation, they simultaneously launched an attack on the three people and two ghosts on the ground.

Three of the demonic ghouls, like well-coordinated hunters, simultaneously attacked Wu Xian from three tricky angles, their deformed arms waving like windmills. Another demonic ghoul rose into the air from Wu Xian's blind spot, its several ghostly hands with black fingernails reaching straight for Wu Xian's head like iron hooks!

Wu Xian let out a low hum, lowered his waist, drew his sword, spun around and slashed. The Burning Dream Dance Blade drew a perfect full moon arc in mid-air, and the flames on the blade filled the arc, as if forming a white full moon of flames around Wu Xian.

The three demonic ghouls were instantly split in two by the flames, and their remains began to burn fiercely before they even fell to the ground.

The fiery ribbons on the hilt of the Burning Dream Dance Blade danced wildly as if they were alive, entangling the demonic ghost in mid-air and burning it to ashes in the intense heat.

The ribbons fluttered, sparks flew, and this single strike not only eliminated four demonic ghouls but also forced the surrounding creatures that were about to stir back a distance.

To avoid being accidentally injured by Wu Xian, Wang Wei and Luo Caixia stood a little distance away from Wu Xian.

The two of them also encountered an attack by evil spirits.

Wang Wei took a step towards Luo Caixia and instantly activated his supernatural power - Golden Bell Shield. A golden bronze bell enveloped the two of them, and the next second, dozens of hands slapped the golden bell. The frequent and forceful slaps caused the golden bell shield to ripple with waves of light.

Then, Wang Wei pushed his hands outwards.

call!
The golden bell instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the golden bell was no longer an illusion, but had truly become a large, golden bell!
The golden light scorched all the surrounding demonic ghouls, causing them to cover their eyes and let out ear-piercing screams.

The Golden Bell Shield, when combined with the Golden Body Robe, can store incoming attacks and release them as golden light when needed, making it the most defensive of the seven treasures.

After Wang Wei made that move, Luo Caixia shouted.

"Squat down!"

Wang Wei squatted down and deactivated the Golden Bell Shield.

Then Luo Caixia swung the heavy rebar and sent several demonic ghosts flying with a single blow.

But after she finished swinging the baton, Luo Caixia discovered that a demon was crawling on the rebar and rapidly heading towards her face!

……

Besides the newlyweds, the headless executioner was also caught in a fierce battle.

At first, these two easily killed several demonic ghosts, but the more they killed, the more unfavorable the situation became for them.

Although the big guy was overwhelming in both strength and speed, the extra arms that the demonic ghosts grew out were like octopus tentacles, tightly binding their armor and swords, never letting go even after they themselves had been killed.

The executioners moved slower and slower, their bodies constantly being struck by those dense and frequent hands. At first, they could mitigate some of the damage thanks to their sturdy armor, but the demonic ghouls quickly found their weakness.

A demonic ghoul plunged its withered arm, covered in black fingernails, into the executioner's neck, tearing a chunk of flesh from it.

With him setting an example, even more arms were extended into the fray.

This headless executioner was ripped out of shape on the spot!
The other headless executioner, though his strength had increased due to the death of his teammates, was struggling just to protect his neck, and it was only a matter of time before he was killed by the demonic accomplice.

Ding, ding...

Just then, a clear bell rang.

It was Shi Yan who shook the requiem bell.

With the sound of a bell, a demon was grabbed by several large hands, lifted into the air, and then torn to pieces!
The people hanging on the ceiling looked in the direction of the sound and were surprised to find an evil spirit rushing out of the ceremonial gate.

This evil spirit was dressed in a dark blue security guard uniform and wore a wide-brimmed hat; it was hanging from the ceiling of the room at the far left on the first floor...

+Sewing Captain!

Reinforcements have arrived, but they are evil spirits!
