Chapter 611: Heavenly Officials Executing, the Power of the Thunder Department

Seeing Li Yan take out the certificate, Li Wenyuan trembled.

He came from the Daluo Dharma Realm, and although he had ill intentions, if he was truly fearless, why would he have been hiding it for so many years?

The appearance of Wen Lingguan’s power before had already frightened him.

If the Thunder Tribe captures people, there will be no way out.

"Leave him!"

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Under the might of the Nine Cauldrons, his warrant can't summon the Yin soldiers and the Thunder Department at all!"

What he said was indeed true.

Li Yan had seen the two men before, but Gou Diao lost his sense of them, and was forced to retreat due to a sneak attack by the bloody Nuo master Badeza.

The two of them calculated this point and therefore acted without any fear.

With their skills and magic, it is not impossible for them to get the Nine Cauldrons and escape from the chaos.

The real trouble for the two is the Nine Cauldrons.

The Nine Cauldrons travel back and forth across the dragon veins of China. They have long been refined to become mysterious and extraordinary, like a ferocious fish in a river. Even the Dragon Palace and the Water Palace cannot trap them for long.

Moreover, the Nine Cauldrons have not yet completely left the Dragon Palace.

If you don't seize the time, you will be lost along with the dragon veins and earth energy.

Thinking of this, the two of them gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.

Their cultivation is profound, and even if they were to return to the world of the living and reincarnate as humans, their cultivation would decline, but the power of their spirits is unquestionable.

Under the terrifying power of the Nine Cauldrons, the two of them were still slowly approaching.

The furs in their hands were also extraordinary.

It is a spiritual beast on the plateau. It looks like a yak, but has the blood of Kuiniu in its body. It is huge in size and often howls at night. The sound can be heard for hundreds of miles. If evil spirits hear it, they will be scared to death.

This spiritual beast is regarded as a god by the people in the snowy area.

Many years ago, Lu Sheng sneaked into the plateau and killed the spirit beast with the help of the Black Sect Lama Dorje Tashi. He also engraved the ancient map of Kyushu and the map of Yugong waterways to capture the Nine Cauldrons.

The two of them endured the severe pain and moved forward step by step.

On the other side, Li Yan also had a ferocious look on his face.

The plan of Lu Sheng and the others was correct. Under the might of the Nine Cauldrons, a simple letter of invitation could not summon the Yin soldiers and the Thunder Department.

However, his letter of invitation was unusual.

With the help of the magic jade accessories left by Yin Changsheng, the sensing power of the Gou Die is far beyond ordinary.

In the netherworld, one can pass through barriers and eavesdrop on conversations between ghost gods, so why can't one do that here?

With a glimmer of faith, Li Yan endured the pain in his soul and concentrated all his energy to sense through the hook letter.

After catching criminals several times, he has become very familiar with the process.

The reason why the Gou Yue is mysterious is that it contains a pure innate Yin Qi. By finding the Yin criminal, touching the Yin Qi with the spiritual power, and reciting the spell, one can summon the Yin soldiers to come and capture the person.

Let me use a more common analogy.

There is a wall between the Daluo Dharma Realm and the mortal world.

Any method of summoning is like making a hole in the wall.

But there are two ways to "open a hole".

First, like he used the "Gang Ling" to summon the Yin soldiers, used the "Bing Ding Sheng Gui Fu" to summon Wen Lingguan, and the Xuanmen summoned the "Lu Bing", all of which were initiated from the human side.

Not only does it require specific instruments, but how much power can be summoned also depends on their abilities.

Just like Wen Lingguan before, if Li Yan's Taoism was higher and the Yangyang Altar he set up was stronger, the power transmitted by Wen Lingguan would be enough to solve all problems.

The second is to "drill a hole" from the opposite side.

For example, he used his identity as a living ghost to capture criminals, used his identity as a heavenly official to capture immortals from the lower world, and also used the identity of a Xuanmen official to suppress and kill the demons that were wreaking havoc on the human world. All of these consumed the opponent's strength.

The key to this approach is identity.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Li Yan concentrated, he could not sense the Yin Qi in the Gou Tiao under the might of the Nine Cauldrons.

On the other side, Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan had already approached the Nine Cauldrons, chanting spells at the same time, and slowly raised the spirit beast skin bags in their hands...

Just when Li Yan was anxious, he suddenly felt another force.

It was pure innate qi, carrying with it a violent aura. Just the sensation of it made his hair stand on end.

It’s the Thunder Department!
Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately made hand gestures and chanted the spell.

He held the hook in his right hand and suddenly turned it around, revealing the Heavenly Official Talisman on the back. At the same time, he stepped on the Gang Step, pinched the "Jade Purity Secret" with his left hand, and wrote the "Thunder Ancestor Taboo" to Dongfang Xu, reciting loudly:
"The three realms of Shangqing, the Jade Talisman communicates with the truth. I now report that the thunder, fire and flying stars are coming. Taiyi saves suffering, and the report is reported to Gongcao. The thirty-six cave thunder generals, listen to my heavenly official's order and act immediately as the Hunyuan Red Text decrees!"

This spell is called "The Heavenly Official's Decree to Suppress Evil Thunder".

After learning it from Juechenzi, Li Yan used it for the first time. He had no experience and could only follow the rules.

Fortunately, the ceremony was not affected.

zizi~
Lightning flashed, and Li Yan felt numb all over.

Arcs of lightning jumped on his body. Li Yan's eyes were filled with blue lightning and he looked up at the sky.

As if being pulled by something, the sky was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder.

According to "The Pearls of Fahai", Thunder Method does not rely solely on one's own strength, but actually follows the laws of heaven to carry out punishment. It is usually based on internal cultivation, combined with visualization and various rituals.

Li Yan summoned the Thunder Department in his capacity as a celestial official, which also belongs to the Thunder Method.

"How can it be?!"

Li Wenyuan, who was approaching the Nine Cauldrons, felt his scalp tingling.

Li Yan had watched him cast the spell before, so he had already locked on to him.

In just a moment, he sensed the pressure and murderous intent coming from the sky, and it became stronger and stronger with the thunder.

"Never mind, let's get the stuff first!"

Seeing him stop, Lu Sheng immediately scolded him.

"fart!"

When Li Wenyuan heard this, he became angry.

He had known about Lu Sheng's character for a long time. He seemed to be courteous to others, but in fact he was extremely selfish. So many loyal subordinates died, but he was not at all upset.

Even though he was an immortal from the mortal world, Lu Sheng was still using him.

It sounds nice, but he wasn't the one struck by lightning!
Without any hesitation, Li Wenyuan put down the leather bag in his hand, took the lotus step, retreated, made a turn, and attacked Li Yan.

In the Nine Cauldrons Divine Power, he was also unable to use magic and could only use kung fu, but the weapon in his hand was somewhat special.

But when Li Wenyuan took the Gangbu steps, although there was no fluctuation of Gangsha Qi, his figure was flashing and his speed was very fast.

This is a pure Taoist movement, elegant and mysterious.

And their weapons are also unique.

When he was about to approach Li Yan, Li Wenyuan suddenly accelerated, shook his right hand, and stretched out a bamboo talisman staff from his sleeve.

It is as black as iron, engraved with inscriptions, and has a sharp tip.

In his previous life, Li Wenyuan was a Taoist priest in Jiuyi Mountain. He often collected herbs in the remote mountains and swamps. The bamboo staff in his hand could not only cast spells, but also kill wild beasts.

When he shed his physical body and ascended to godhood, he even used the staff technique, so he was very proficient in this thing, almost like Taoism, and was good at striking acupoints and sealing meridians.

There are also other techniques such as "cutting pulse hand" and "pointing star finger", which are all ancient Taoist martial arts.

Although it is not a sharp blade, it is more murderous.

In just a blink of an eye, he stabbed Li Yan's fatal point on the head.

He comes from the Daluo Dharma Realm and knows a lot.

The power of the Thunder Department has not yet arrived completely. As long as Li Yan is killed, the thunder disaster can be stopped. If he turns around and leaves, he will be struck to death by thunder even if he escapes to the ends of the earth.

And Li Yan was still looking at the sky with lightning in his eyes.

There seemed to be no defense against danger.

Clang!
Just as the bamboo stick was about to stab, a sword rang out in the thick fog.

Then a ray of sword light split the white mist and collided exactly with the tip of the staff. Although it was just a sword technique, the surrounding strong winds temporarily stopped.

Li Wenyuan's expression changed slightly, and then became ferocious.

"Junior, you are seeking death!"

He had guessed who the visitor was. With swordsmanship alone, he could affect the surrounding evil spirit, because it was attached with pure sword intent, close to Taoism.

In the area of ​​Shuzhong, the only one who could practice swordsmanship to such a level was Cheng Jianxian, who had been in charge of Shuzhong for decades.

But compared with him, I am undoubtedly a junior.

Sure enough, Cheng Jianxin, with flying white hair and a long sword in his hand, emerged from the thick fog, with an expressionless face, standing in front of Li Yan.

Li Wenyuan gritted his teeth and shook his wrist slightly. The bamboo stick suddenly bent, swinging away the tip of the sword. At the same time, it used its strong elasticity to bounce out at a faster speed and pierce Li Yan's forehead.

His magic skills are stronger, but after being an immortal for many years, his understanding of martial arts is at most slightly inferior to Cheng Jianxin's.

Killing and defending are inherently different in difficulty.

What's more, the Cheng Jianxian in front of him was already old. Relying on his powerful sword intent and burning all his potential, he could not last long within the range of the Nine Cauldrons' divine power.

Clang clang!
The shadows of the staffs and the lights of the swords collided, and the dragon roars continued.

Li Wenyuan combines Yu Bu with stick-strike techniques, which can not only overcome hardness with softness, but also utilize the characteristics of the bamboo stick to perform moves with completely different forces.

His figure flickered around Li Yan, and the shadow of his staff sometimes turned, sometimes attacked, and with terrifying murderous intent, stabbed at Li Yan's fatal points all over his body.

The wind blows the willows, the rocks crack and the clouds penetrate...

Each move is more brutal and faster than the last.

However, Cheng Jianxin just stood in front of Li Yan with a calm expression, stabbing with the sword in his hand again and again, sometimes even stabbing into the air.

It seems that there is no trace to be found, but it is just like a game of chess. The tip of the sword is the chess piece, and every time the piece is placed, it pushes the bamboo stick away at the right place.

Rumble!
The thunder in the sky became more and more fierce.

The thick fog over Chengdu suddenly stagnated.

The clouds were as thick as ink, but no raindrops fell. Bluish-white lightning flashed through the cracks in the clouds, like a dragon or snake shedding its scales.

In the square, many people's hair stood up.

There was also a faint smell of anxiety in the air.

"Brother Yan did it!"

Wang Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

This is the "heavenly thunder evil spirit", which usually appears before a thunderstorm strikes. This sign had already appeared when the heavenly thunder was summoned at Liangzi Lake and Longhu Mountain.

Summoning the Thunder Department means that Li Yan is about to succeed.

This Thunder Minister is different from the Wen Lingguan just now. The power he relies on comes from heaven. As long as he appears, the monster will surely die.

"what--!"

Li Wenyuan became more and more impatient. He rushed forward regardless of the consequences and was determined to kill Li Yan even if he was seriously injured.

puff!

Cheng Jianxin's sword pierced through his left chest.

But Li Wenyuan ignored him, stepped forward with the sword, and stabbed the bamboo stick suddenly, heading straight for Li Yan's eyebrows.

puff!
There was another sound, and blood splattered everywhere.

However, it was Cheng Jianxin's other hand that directly blocked in front of Li Yan. After being pierced by the bamboo stick, he deflected the tip of the stick.

Cheng Jianxin won't be able to hold on for long and will surely die in this battle, but judging from his appearance, he will drag him down with him before he dies.

"you…"

Li Wenyuan was so angry that he shook his wrist.

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and Cheng Jianxin's left palm and forearm were actually crushed.

However, he didn't get any good results.

Cheng Jianxin also drew his sword, and the blade hung upside down, and with a whoosh, a long crack appeared in his chest.

At this moment, strange phenomena appeared around again.

zizi~
The snow on the ground in the square had long been blown away by the strong wind, and tiny flashes of lightning were rising from the cracks in the bricks and stones, making crackling sounds.

The bricks used in this square are gold bricks.

It is not made of real gold, but metal mixed in when bricks are fired. It makes a sound of gold and iron when knocked. It is very strong and can only be used by the royal family.

The Thunder Department is about to appear, and the gold bricks generate static electricity.

Although it doesn't hurt anyone, it looks creepy.

Not only that, the soldiers and martial arts masters watching outside the cyclone had their swords and guns shaking and buzzing, their war horses raised their hooves in panic, and their manes stood up like steel needles.

Rumble!
There was another roar of thunder, and the sound was as deep and heavy as a huge drum.

Everyone who heard this felt a tightness in their chest and blacking out before their eyes.

And in the inky black sky, with every roar of thunder, there were tree-branch-like lightning tearing through the sky.

Faintly, it seemed as if some kind of rune was formed.

Many monks raised their heads and watched intently, not daring to look away.

This is the origin of the Xuanmen thunder pattern.

If someone dies from a heavenly thunderbolt, vertical fork-shaped lightning patterns will appear on his body, forming talismans, which are the foundation of thunder magic.

Regardless of whether one practices thunder magic or not, this is a rare opportunity.

Ah!
Li Wenyuan's scalp tingled and he turned and ran.

He knew that the Thunder Tribe had arrived.

But this thunder is not impossible to avoid.

Some monsters often hide in temples or rooms with people, using their scent to cover themselves up and avoid disasters.

Naturally, the treatment he received was not comparable to those little demons.

The only chance is to hide under the Nine Cauldrons.

According to Lu Sheng and others, the Nine Cauldrons now gather the dragon energy of China, which is extremely mysterious. Once they are gathered together, they can even subvert the Dharma Realm.

There is still a chance to resist the natural disaster.

Li Wenyuan moved very quickly and approached the Nine Cauldrons in a blink of an eye.

The might of the Nine Cauldrons caused his soul to ache, as if it was being torn apart, but he no longer cared and dived under the cauldron.

"Fuck off!"

When Lu Sheng, who was about to cover the skin, saw it, he became furious.

Li Wenyuan would die if he died, but it would be bad luck if he was affected by the thunder and the Nine Cauldrons were separated.

However, it was already too late.

But Li Yan in the distance was surrounded by lightning, crackling and slowly floating. Even Cheng Jianxin avoided him from a distance.

It’s a bit like the Thunder and Fire Refining Hall in Wudang Mountain.

What ordinary people see is just continuous thunderstorms in the sky.

But Li Yan could see flashes of lightning above the thick clouds and faint human figures flashing in the dark.

He suddenly lowered his head and pointed the warrant in his hand at Li Wenyuan, snorting coldly, "Execute!"

boom!
The thunder roared like an explosion.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth became bright as snow.

The strong light made everyone close their eyes.

What they didn't see was that a white lightning as thick as a bucket appeared above the clouds, instantly connecting heaven and earth. It even turned a corner when it fell and directly hit Li Wenyuan, who had a terrified face.

With a loud roar, Li Wenyuan had no time to resist and flew out directly, turning into a charred corpse, rolling on the ground, and torn into pieces.

The Thunder Department carries out executions with unparalleled power.

Just one strike was enough to shatter his soul.

Then, the thunderclouds in the sky quickly dissipated.

It was somewhat similar to summoning the soldiers from the underworld. Li Yan could only locate them but not command them. After destroying the fugitives from heaven, the Thunder Department returned on its own.

Li Wenyuan is dead, but the story is not over yet.

It seemed that the Nine Cauldrons' power was slightly weakened by the thunder, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Sheng was overjoyed and covered the Jingzhou Cauldron with his leather bag...
