Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 969 Hope and Despair

The next battle will involve three parties.

Wu Xianhe, two newcomers, the remaining demonic accomplices, and giant corpse worms.

The county government hall was in complete chaos, and Shi Yan, still in her cage, was trying to scare the situation by shaking a bell to a rock 'n' roll tune.

The fight was fierce and chaotic, with the dog's mind racing and everything in disarray. The details were numerous and complex, and it would probably take at least two chapters to describe it.

So, let's keep it short.

In short, Wu Xian led his men to first eliminate the lone demon foes, and then seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

If the Giant Corpse Worm has the advantage, attack the Giant Corpse Worm first; if the Demonic Ghost has the upper hand, attack the Demonic Ghost.

After a lot of fighting, all the demonic foes were killed, and the giant corpse worm was left with only one breath left. Wu Xian took the opportunity to finish it off, and in doing so, he also gained three more fire seeds...

Wu Xian glanced at the time.

It was 4:57 a.m., just two or three minutes before dawn.

After the giant corpse worms fell, the third wave of attacks officially ended, and the scene fell into a long silence, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Hao Ze shouted at the top of his lungs, "We finally survived!"

The crowd began to cheer loudly, shouting "Oh oh!" and "Ah ah!" After the cheers subsided, some of the newlyweds wept with joy, some wailed, some laughed like thunder, and some simply let out meaningless shouts to vent their emotions.

They're finally going back!

They had endured the long and terrifying blessed land and could now return to their warm and safe home. The mundane, even repulsive, real world had transformed into a place as beautiful as paradise.

After venting their pent-up emotions, they opened up and started talking. Before, they were afraid of interfering with the battle and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Now they could finally speak freely, and they could talk for a week without finishing.

"When I get back, I'm going to sleep for three days and three nights."

"I'm not going back to that lousy class. When I get back, I'm going to call the boss and yell at him."

"I, I... I just want to eat a braised pork knuckle."

Luo Caixia threw down the rebar, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground. She had never been so tired in her life. She looked up at the newly added corpses on the ceiling and sighed. It was such a pity that those people had died in the darkness before dawn.

Wang Wei let out a soft breath, a smile playing on his lips.

This is truly a blessed land!

It's definitely more interesting than killing someone in real life.

Unfortunately, although this blessed land was very oppressive in the early stages, the final battle was easier than he had imagined. Of the three waves of attacks, only the last wave was somewhat stressful, and it did not reach the perfection he had in mind.

"You will regret it!"

"I haven't lost yet."

Meng Longtu's roar came from all directions.

But when people heard his voice again this time, they didn't feel scared at all. Instead, it sounded like the howling of a defeated dog, and it was quite pleasant as background music.

"this and that……"

Wu Xian opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his voice was drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.

"Well, they've had a tough time these past few nights, let them have some fun for a while."

Now that everyone is an acquaintance, Wu Xian can no longer use the same tactics as before to shut them up.

……

The noise gradually subsided. In the final dozen or so seconds, everyone instinctively held their breath, their eyes fixed on the slowly moving second hand of the red clock. "Fifteen, fourteen, four, three, two, one!"

Ding, ding ding...

The Red Sun Clock rang again. The sound, which had originally had an eerie quality, now inexplicably carried a sense of holiness. As the bell echoed, the temperature in the county government hall suddenly rose, dispelling the bone-chilling cold. The fog on the ground also began to dissipate and quickly thinned out.

Most encouragingly... no new enemies have appeared!
Click, click.
The white silk that had bound the newlyweds on the ceiling for so long suddenly came loose on its own, and the newlyweds fell to the ground. Meanwhile, the ceremonial gate that had been closed for many days began to slowly rise.
"The door is open!"

What might be outside the door?

"There is freedom!"

Everything that just happened was enough to show that this nightmare was coming to an end, so the newlyweds were all smiles.

But Wu Xian looked at the door and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He couldn't help but complain:

"This ceremonial gate is clearly a swing door, it even has a bolt, so why is it rising like a roller shutter door...?"

When the door reached its highest point, some eager newcomers couldn't wait to rush out, but Wu Xian blocked them with his sword.

"hold on."

Before Wu Xian could finish speaking, the ceremonial gate collapsed with a loud crash.

The ceremonial gate crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, so loud that many people's minds went blank, and for a moment they forgot to think. On the gate, compared to before, there was now a huge ghost face drawn with human flesh and blood!
The temperature in the entire lobby plummeted. The dissipating fog suddenly thickened to almost solidify, rising from the calves to the waist. A bone-chilling cold seeped into everyone's pores, and distorted phantoms began to appear at the edges of the newcomers' vision. Strange, murmured voices seemed to echo in their ears...

"How...how could this happen..."

The newlyweds were all struck dumb, their faces drained of color, and the light in their eyes dimmed. One old woman even knelt on the ground, tears streaming silently down her face, while others frantically grabbed their hair, uttering inhuman sobs.

Wu Xian suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, so he raised that door to create a certain atmosphere."

……

"Ha, ha cough cough, haha..."

From an unknown source came Meng Longtu's maniacal laughter.

"This is the surprise I wanted to give you. Do you like it? This painful ordeal has only just begun!"

Wang Wei tried hard to control his expression, his eyes showing a hint of excitement, but mostly regret.

He was excited that this blessed land did not disappoint him and would not end uneventfully; he regretted that he shouldn't have made a promise to himself earlier...

Many of the others cast questioning glances at Wu Xian.

The idea that surviving until dawn meant certain death was Wu Xian's one-sided story from the beginning, but they were all willing to believe it because that was the only way they had a glimmer of hope.

But now, it's five in the morning.

Instead of a glimmer of hope, they were met with an even crueler reality.

Some people shouted, some wailed, some wept bitterly, and some even despaired, believing that there was no way out of the blessed land and that Wu Xian, this person, was also part of the blessed land scam. He gave everyone hope in order to plunge them into deeper despair.

They used to think Meng Longtu's voice sounded like a loser's, but now they realize how ironic that is!

Only Wu Xian remained expressionless throughout. After listening to Meng Longtu laugh for a while, he said somewhat impatiently:
"Hey, have you finished laughing?"

"Let's talk about something serious."
