Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 181 Worthy of the People Who Care

Xu Shi stared at Wuzhe for a long time with a burning gaze, and suddenly stroked his silver hair with his hand, laughing and said: "I guess you have been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Wuzhan smiled slightly and said, "If the Imperial Master has another wonderful method, there is no need to consider my request."

Xu Shi couldn't think of any solution, so he laughed dryly and said, "Don't laugh at me, sir. I don't have any magic tricks, but this five-colored stone is too important. Without it, the magic weapons I made for your majesty will be in vain. If you have a way to overcome the difficulties, I would consider lending it to you temporarily."

Wuzhan said in a deep voice: "My method may not be feasible, Imperial Master, please think of another way!"

Xu Shi asked, "I wonder what else you need the five-colored stones for, sir?"

"It has its own uses."

Mayor Xu knew that Wuzhan was taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but he could do nothing about it. He thought, "It's just as Qingyang said. This kid is really cunning and scheming. Now that things have come to this, I can only give in temporarily." Thinking of this, he took out the five-colored stone from his arms, handed it to Wuzhan, and laughed, "If you can't break this magic circle, there's no need for me to keep the five-colored stone. I'm handing it over to you, sir. I'm willing to do whatever you want!"

Wuzhan looked at the five-colored stone that he had lost and found again, and felt deeply moved. He had gone through so much trouble to get it. He didn't know how much time he had left and whether he could complete the impossible task. He slowly took the five-colored stone and asked, "Is there a soul in the body of the magic weapon?"

Xu Shi sighed, "Your Excellency is truly blessed with a pair of magical eyes, which can indeed imprison the immortal souls. Without the infusion of souls, the magic weapon would be like a machine, lacking adaptability in fighting and killing enemies. The magic weapon that controls these souls is the five-colored stone in your Excellency's hand. I can only use it to infuse souls into the magic weapon, but I cannot refine it and control these souls. Therefore, I can only imprison them."

"The Imperial Master is truly powerful. He has collected so many immortal souls. I'm sure Qingyang is looking for Changyang Mountain for this purpose."

Xu Shi said: "I am willing to admit that you are superior to me in terms of your intelligence. This is indeed the purpose. Time is running out. I need you to help us climb the stone tablet as soon as possible!"

Wuzhan smiled slightly, walked slowly towards Ying Zheng, and raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty's words are golden, please bear witness for me, the Imperial Master has returned this stone to me, and I will not ask for it again in the future!"

At this point, Ying Zheng didn't care about the stone anymore. As long as he was alive, everything would be fine. He hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll testify for you!"

When Xu Shi heard this, he felt furious. He didn't expect that this kid would borrow the support of the emperor. This way, it would be difficult to redeem him.

Wuzhan said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He turned around and said to Xu Shi, "I want to use these magic weapons to build a ladder to heaven. If successful, I hope the national teacher will seize the opportunity to climb up the stone tablet and eliminate the enemies on the stone tablet."

Although Mayor Xu didn't know how to build it, he didn't need to ask, and said hurriedly: "It's really a good idea, then I'll trouble you, sir."

Wuzhan brought Miaoxin and Jinxingzi to the front of the terracotta warriors, less than three feet away from the quicksand. He held the five-colored stone in his hand, sat cross-legged on the ground, and ordered Jinxingzi to input the demonic power into his body from behind, while Miaoxin stood by his side to protect him.

Wuzhan looked down at the extremely heavy five-colored stone with a sense of melancholy. If it weren't for his master's last wish and Senior Xingtian's instructions, he would never have rescued so many enemies in the formation today. If they all died here, wouldn't all the hatred be avenged? Princess Yu and Brother Zhang Liang would soon make a comeback.

He knew that if he broke the formation today, he would lose a lot of things and even be blamed. It was not because he was afraid of death, but because there were people who cared about him in the formation. There was no need for them to die for his hatred. Although he was not a kind person, he could at least deal with those who cared about him.

The demonic power poured into the eight extraordinary meridians. Wuzhan followed the "Soul-Captivating Technique" passed down to him by Xingtian, mobilized the mental power in his body, and probed into the five-colored stone. Xingtian once told him that the five-colored stone only recognized him, so he had the confidence to use it to control these terracotta warriors.

The people in the central venue have been squeezed together, and there are still a large number of zombies that have not been eliminated. Everyone's hope is pinned on Wuzhan. The quicksand began to whistle, and the cold air made people shiver all over.

Miaoxin held the sharp flaming sword in her hand and guarded Wuzhan. She really couldn't guess what kind of earth-shattering move Wuzhan would make, but she knew that Wuzhan would definitely do something earth-shattering.

Magical instruments are all spiritual. If one wants to control them at will, one needs to resonate with them with telekinesis. The more powerful the magical instrument, the stronger the telekinesis required. However, this five-colored stone has indeed been refined by Wuzhan as Xingtian said. When one probes with telekinesis, one can feel the response of the five-colored stone, as if it were a part of one's body. By mobilizing the demonic power injected by Jin Xingzi, combining the 'Soul-Capture Technique' with Fen Yuan's corpse-controlling technique, Wuzhan created the magic formula with his mind, and the dim five-colored stone in his hand gradually emitted a five-colored light.

Xu Shi's face was stern, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the five-colored stone that he had been trying his best to refine could be easily controlled by this kid. He looked at Wuzhan carefully, and vaguely thought of something.

The light of the five-colored stone began to rotate and change, forming a cyclone in Wuzhan's hand that spun faster and faster. Suddenly, with a "swish", a brilliant light burst out, and thousands of thin colored threads shot towards the group of terracotta soldiers and disappeared into them.

Wuzhan suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky, as if he was struck by thunder. Thousands of ferocious souls rushed into his consciousness, trying to occupy his body. The vicious curse like a tide echoed in his mind, "You are inhumane and you shall not die a good death. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go. You are against the will of heaven and will be punished by heaven..." His brain felt like it was being cut by a knife and he was in a trance, as if it was about to explode.

Miao Xin hurriedly shouted, "Sir!" and was about to go forward to check, 'Bang!' Black air burst out from Wuzhan's body, and Jin Xingzi was caught off guard and was immediately blown away ten feet away. With a 'wow', he spat out a mouthful of blood. Miao Xin controlled the air and stood still, resisting the gust of wind that cut his face. Wuzhan's clothes were shimmering, black light was dancing, and his eyes had completely turned black, which was extremely terrifying. Although he didn't know why, it was obviously a sign of being possessed by a demon. He shouted, "Sir, stop it!" He stretched out his jade arm with difficulty, and although it was only one step away, he couldn't reach it.

The black light burst out again, and Miaoxin could no longer stand. He was pushed back several feet by the huge force and fell on his back. At this time, he heard Jin Xingzi shouting, "It's useless, he can only rely on himself." Jin Xingzi had heard Lingkongzi narrate the shocking changes that happened to Wuzhan outside Shanggu, and the situation was basically the same as what he saw before.

Everyone was dumbfounded, even the zombies stood still, their ferocious eyes turned into fear. Xu Shi frowned and watched carefully, suddenly looked up at the night sky and chuckled.

……

Just when the unobstructed soul consciousness was impacted by thousands of souls and was about to pass out, the dark matter in his brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Those noisy curses instantly died out, and there was a clear and empty space. He could even feel the uneasiness of those thousands of souls.

"Wuzhan, we meet again!" A familiar voice came into Wuzhan's mind.

"Senior! You're awake!" Wuzhan said in surprise, knowing that it was the voice of Senior Xing Tian.

"Haha, if it weren't for your divine sense probing into me, how would I have woken up?"

"Senior, have you heard of the names Huo Biao and Zhuo Qing?" "They are two minions under Yan Rong. How do you know them?"

"I killed them, but I didn't have the chance to get their immortal bodies!"

"Well done for killing them. Their stinking bodies are worthless. I really didn't make a mistake at the beginning. How did you do it?"

"It's a long story. They went to the next level to look for Senior Gun's soul and tried to seize the Xirang. Unfortunately, I ran into them. One of them was killed by Taishan Bixia Yuanjun, and the other was buried by me in Xirang."

"Xirang, what are they looking for Xirang for?..."

"I wonder if you know the situation outside. We are now trapped in the formation."

"I heard everything. What do you want to do with these undead spirits?"

"Control them, build a ladder, and then break the formation according to the "Collection of Formation Solutions" given to me by my senior."

"If my body was still there, it would not be difficult to break this formation. Now I only have my soul and can't do anything. I will teach you the 'Spirit Control Technique' to see if you can control them." After saying this, a mental formula instantly entered Wuzhan's mind.

Wuzhan pondered the Heart Sutra and sighed, "If I didn't have this 'Divine Control Sutra' from you, I really don't know what to do."

"Hurry up and do it, otherwise the people outside will turn into dry bones. Oh, and there is a man named Xu Shi who is trying to refine the five-colored stone. If it weren't for the fact that the five-colored stone only recognizes you, I'm afraid my soul would have been refined by him. I suspect he is from the Heavenly Palace, but his magic seems to be sealed and he can't display his original strength. You must be on guard against him."

"Senior, ..., I am afraid that I will not live long. Your instructions..., perhaps..."

"Hey! This is asking too much. When I entrusted it to you, I didn't force you to complete it. You don't have to mind it. Just let it go. Even if you can't succeed, I won't blame you at all."

"Senior, ..., if I can continue to live, I will definitely repay you for saving me."

……

Miao Xin had never thought how the frail Wuzhan could become so possessed and terrifying. She called out to Wuzhan, who was emitting black energy, over and over again, trying to wake him up, but Wuzhan ignored her. She had no choice but to shout to Xu Shi, "Master, please help me!"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, he is subduing those spirits."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five-colored stone emitted a dazzling light, the colored silk disappeared, and the black aura around Wuzhai disappeared. The motionless terracotta warriors suddenly moved, like people who had just woken up and were stretching. Everyone in the audience was shocked. "These terracotta warriors can really move. The Imperial Master did not deceive Your Majesty!"

All I heard was Wuzhe say in a dignified manner: "Form a formation, get rid of those corpse ghosts first!"

As soon as the order was given, more than a thousand terracotta warriors raised their weapons in unison, rushed out of the quicksand, and killed the corpse ghosts around them. They brandished their heavy weapons like chopping watermelons, and with one chop, the corpse ghosts were beheaded. Some of the corpse ghosts flew onto the terracotta warriors, who picked them up with one hand and threw them into the quicksand.

In an instant, all the corpse ghosts were killed, and thunderous cheers rang out among the Qin army. No one had expected that these ferocious corpse ghosts would be so vulnerable in front of the divine soldiers.

At this time, the flute music also stopped, and a sinister voice of praise was heard: "It is indeed a divine weapon, even more powerful than my old ghost soldier!"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "What did I say? How could the national teacher lie to me? You old ministers just don't believe it and secretly scold him for deceiving me, being short-sighted and extremely pedantic!" After hearing this, the ministers were speechless.

Zhao Gao reminded from the side: "It is the Imperial Censor who is controlling the Imperial Master's magic weapon."

"I have long seen that Wuzhan has this talent. He has lived up to my expectations. If we can break the formation, he will have made the greatest contribution!"

Wuzhan slowly stood up, his face regained its composure, Miaoxin stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

Wuzhan whispered: "It is better to rely on yourself than on others!"

"When the young master cast the spell, the little fairy was frightened. She kept shouting 'sir' over and over again. It almost broke my heart." Jin Xingzi laughed.

Miaoxin's cheeks flushed immediately when she heard this. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to defend herself. She heard Wuzhan stop her and say, "Stop talking nonsense!" She felt as if something was lost.

Wuzhan held the five-colored stone in his hand, and seeing that there were only a few corpse ghosts left, he shouted majestically: "Form a battle array and build a ladder to heaven!"

After hearing the order, the terracotta soldiers quickly assembled into a square formation and lined up to step into the rolling quicksand. When the terracotta soldier at the head of the team walked in front of the stone tablet, he placed his hands on the stone tablet, stood with his legs apart and hunched over. The terracotta soldiers behind him pressed the hips of the former, and they stood in a row in turn with hunched over. The other row jumped on top of them, and they stood in this way. Then, they climbed up one row after another, layer by layer, higher and higher. There were a total of eight groups of this structure, with terracotta soldiers cross-fixed between the eight groups, like a black iron bridge that flew up obliquely, crossed the quicksand, and went straight from the formation to the top of the hundred-foot-high stone tablet, swaying and whistling continuously.

Seeing that the ladder will soon be built successfully, everyone is amazed at the barrier-free concept. Mayor Xu has already determined the nine people who will climb the stone tablet, namely Daoxuan, Jiang Yuan, Qingyang, Ruogu, Heilin, Qingyu, Jifeng, Chitong and Miaoxin. Xu Shi will stay to protect Ying Zheng. Jin Xingzi cannot climb up because of a leg injury, but in fact his meridians are different from others.
