I can't be a demon.

Chapter 84: Killing the Alchemist

“Crying counts as time!!!”

Shen Lian had been accumulating strength for a long time, and he broke through the door like an arrow shot from a bow.

Hu Zhanfu had no time to react. He could only watch the fist grow bigger in front of his eyes and the white bone spine rubbing against the ground, causing sparks to fly.

"Shen Lian, you deserve to die!"

Even though he felt the threat of death, Hu Zhanfu still did not harbor any resentment.

He was already 140 years old. He had seen Gao Laozhuang, which was full of pig ghosts, Yingchou Gorge, which was full of evil dragons, and even witnessed Moyun Cave, where a fox fairy enlightened his disciples...

"When have you warriors not become blood food for your help?"

"Shen Lian, do you know? There was once a warrior who was only half a step away from reaching the sixth level of Yuandan, but what happened? He died in the cave without a burial place!"

Hu Zhanfu had a ferocious expression.

His limbs stretched half a meter long, and a large amount of flesh and blood turned into a swarm of strange insects that covered the sky. That was the secret curse and killing technique unique to Moyun Cave!

Wherever the flying insects passed, the grass and trees withered, and all the pig ghosts within a hundred meters died suddenly.

"Shen Lian, what makes you think you can be compared with the alchemist!"

"They are the descendants of the Immortal Family!!"

“They are born gods!!!”

Shen Lian had a stern expression as he allowed the swarm of insects to attach to his skin and flesh. Immediately, his internal energy, which looked like demonic energy, began to erode his skin, and fox faces began to grow.

Hu Zhanfu laughed happily.

"Shen Lian, if you are not dead, I can recommend you to go to Moyun Cave."

Hu Zhanfu seemed to have seen the scene of Shen Lian's painful death. How could a warrior resist it at the cost of his own body and soul?

"Get the hell out of here!!!"

boom!
The fist hit Hu Zhanfu's nose hard.

The skull protected by internal force didn't even hold out for half a breath, and the facial features began to sink. The only part of Hu Zhanfu's body that resembled a human was completely bloody and there was no trace of him.

"I am fighting against the alchemist."

bang bang bang...

Shen Lian's arms turned into afterimages, and the true meaning of the Sea Tide Fist was revealed without reservation, and the entire main hall was shrouded in the wash of the waves.

The wind and waves that arose out of nowhere actually formed a tornado.

"No, it's impossible!"

Hu Zhanfu forced himself to open his eyes, but saw that the curse could not even break Shen Lian's flesh, and his fox face was torn apart by the burning force.

I have concentrated all my internal energy, so why can't I cause any damage to the root?

I hate it!
Shen Lian grabbed Hu Zhanfu's head and slammed it against his chest.

Hu Zhanfu's neck was broken instantly.

"You don't understand if you don't practice! How can a Taoist who has achieved success by taking shortcuts compare to a person who has been tempered with sweat and blood for a hundred times!!"

If Hu Zhanfu had observed carefully, he might have discovered that one of the walls in the room where Shen Lian was staying was almost hollowed out.

That’s right, in order to prevent the strange and inexplicable curse, Shen Lian almost ate up a room in the wing.

There is plenty of nutrition, and it is just a superficial wound that can cause death.

"The old fox is really tough. He looks like he's going to die at any moment, but he just can't swallow his anger."

"Okay, okay, I'll beat you into a pulp!"

Shen Lian pinned Hu Zhanfu to the ground and punched him violently, breaking every bone in his body. Unknowingly, his Falling Spring Palm had been perfected.

"If I encounter an alchemist from the Demon Vein Cave in the future, it will be difficult to deal with him without the restraint of the wise eye. This proves that my martial arts are far from enough."

The movement is getting more and more intense.

Perhaps it was because the smell of blood was too strong, and because Shen Lian was under a curse, his blood and energy were inevitably exposed. The originally law-abiding pig ghost became restless and could not help but approach.

Whoosh.

The bony spine swung.

All pig ghosts will become the nine evil spirits.

"No, to prevent those tailor ghosts from causing trouble, I have to catch them. And I just happen to be short of one or two invitations."

"The thousand-year-old pig ghost should not be a big problem with the help of the Jinwu Guards. The means arranged by Hu Zhanfu can just help to slay the demons and eliminate the monsters."

Shen Lian's fists became more and more fierce, and Hu Zhanfu gradually lost his life.

.........

The Gao Mansion was shaken violently.

The outer walls began to collapse, which was a clear sign that the haunted house was about to collapse, and even the resentment within the area began to fade.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and visibility in Gaofu was extremely low.

The yamen runners saw buckets of black dog blood mixed with talisman water being brought in and poured into Gao's house.

The Jinwu Guards also went to a specific location where talismans had been engraved on the ground in advance, forming a large magic circle that could be activated by internal force.

According to Hu Zhanfu, when resentment begins to dissipate, they must activate the magic circle to weaken the thousand-year-old pig ghost's power.

If the black dog's blood is not enough, a strong warrior will use his blood to drain it instead.

"This is not the right time."

Wang Xin frowned slightly and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Should we deal with the thousand-year-old pig ghost near the rising of the sun?"

"Damn it, even if Captain Hu has the magical powers of an alchemist, he can't possibly deal with a thousand-year-old demon in its prime."

Wang Xin was really afraid that Hu Zhanfu would go crazy, so he moved Gao's mansion to Yanliang Town.

"Li Shun? What's going on?"

He looked around and noticed that Li Shun was staring at the main hall with an expression of astonishment, and seemed to be muttering the word "Zhong Kui" all the time.

suddenly.

The earth-shaking stopped abruptly.

The Jinwu Guards looked at each other in bewilderment. It was impossible to get rid of the thousand-year-old pig ghost in just a few minutes. Could it be that Hu Zhanfu was already dead?

They could not hide their fear. If the situation got out of control, it would be beyond the ability of a group of ten households to handle it.

thump.

Smoke and dust billowed.

While everyone was stunned, half of the wall flew out from deep inside Gao's mansion.

thump.

Another locust tree covered in soil flew out.

Next came a section of the eaves, a pillar standing in the center of the main hall, and even a large piece of flesh that was the remains of a ghost... All kinds of debris kept falling from the Gao Mansion hundreds of meters away.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the razed main hall came into view, as well as a terrifying four-meter-tall giant at the door.

The giant's scales were buzzing and the dragon horns on his head were flashing coldly.

"Zhong Kui?"

"It's Zhong Kui for sure!"

Shen Lian was holding a tattered corpse in his right hand.

The corpse was Hu Zhanfu.

There was a huge head under his feet, which seemed to be a ghost hiding in the dark and attacking secretly. It must have been a Taoist practitioner for at least 600 years.

What was incredible to everyone was that there were three other powerful tailor ghosts surrounding Shen Lian, but the latter remained calm and unhurried.

He crushed Hu Zhanfu's head.

Plasma exploded.

As soon as Hu Zhanfu died, the curse was like rootless water, and the remaining internal strength was completely dissipated.

The fox face on Shen Lian's chest turned into a burn scar, but then healed under the flushing of nutrients, and the scales grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Simply inhuman!
"It was really not easy. I dug three feet into the ground to force you out."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. The four tailor ghosts were a little less than expected, but the elixirs he obtained were enough for him to comprehend the sixth sense.

He calmed his breathing, and sweat rolled down his body.

Wang Xin’s pupils shrank slightly. Hu Zhanfu... was really dead?

He had seen Hu Zhanfu's methods, and given the latter's cautious character, it was impossible for him to choose to fight Shen Lian openly.

As a result, not long after the two men entered Gao's mansion, Hu Zhanfu had already died.

"Hiss, the time for the Millennium Pig Ghost to descend is almost here. Is Shen Lian planning to take the remaining three ghosts with him..."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Lian answered Wang Xin's guess with his actions.

While the ghost was hesitating, the four-meter giant had already leaped into the air, and then the ground where he was standing began to sink, with flames gushing out of the cracks.

That's right.

Shen Lian poured the Yin and Yang energy into the ground, and it exploded before the ghosts noticed.

The sea of ​​fire is burning.

The ghosts let out bursts of wailing.

boom.

Shen Lian has come to the nearest sewing ghost, whose body is covered with steel needles, but its Taoism is the lowest among all the tailor ghosts.

Clang.

The horizontal sword style.

The sword flashed past.

Even though the bone blade looked like a dagger in the hand of the bronze-bodied Dharmadhatu, the edge of the blade was still sharp, and knife marks pierced through the flesh and blood along the steel needles.

Puff puff.

The steel needle ghost's blood splattered everywhere, and the bone blade easily picked out the invitation card from the ghost's body.

The Steel Needle Ghost who lost the invitation became extremely weak. His white bone spine blocked the attacks of other ghosts. Shen Lian used his Wisdom Eye repeatedly.

When the steel needle ghost became experience, Shen Lian seemed more at ease.

[Nine Qi Earth Aversion reaches 30.01%, Martial Arts Points +4]

While the Jinwu guards were stunned, the second ghost had already followed.

Wang Xin turned around and looked at Zhu Yihong.

He had guessed Zhu Yihong's purpose of exchanging martial arts secrets at the beginning, and even intended to cover up for the latter, but how long had Shen Lian mastered the swordsmanship?

Is Shen Lian really a warrior? Is he able to stand above the demons because of his unprecedented talent?
"But...how could he be a warrior?"

While Shen Lian was killing the ghosts, he was also recovering his strength by eating. He casually pulled out a sapling and chewed it. His behavior did not look like that of a warrior at all.

Even if he is not a Taoist priest, he is most likely a demon.

[Giant Ram reaches 10.01%, Martial Arts Points +4]

Shen Lian's points quickly recovered.

When all the ghosts fell to the ground, the experience of Jiuqi Diyan was close to 40%.

And it seemed that the roots of the banyan tree extended outside the city, absorbing the resentment of the Gao Mansion, and the experience progress of the Taoist priest who was looking for corpses continued to increase.

Shen Lian burped and threw away the remaining tree trunk in his hand.

Who would have thought that after two fierce battles, his energy and spirit were at their peak, and the only price he paid was a little indigestion.

"It's almost time."

Shen Lian lowered his head, and a ten-meter shadow covered Gao Mansion.

"Mr. Lang!!!"

The Millennium Pig Ghost descended again, but the sense of oppression had subsided, mainly because the Gao Mansion where it depended had been mostly destroyed.

Everyone bowed their heads at the same time.

In order to protect themselves, the Jinwu Guards did not hesitate to use their inner strength to pour into the talisman on the ground, and the magic circle drawn by Hu Zhanfu gradually took effect.

They knew the taboos of the thousand-year-old pig ghost, but some people still had their heads and bodies separated.

While everyone was terrified, they heard the sound of Shen Lian's neck being overwhelmed, and the latter actually chose to turn his head and look directly at the ghost.

Click click click.

Shen Lian raised his head and looked up into the air, only to see that the thousand-year-old pig ghost had an extremely deformed appearance.

The thousand-year-old pig ghost has the body of a beautiful woman, but the head of a bloated pig, and sits in the cross-legged posture of Guanyin.

"Mr. Lang!!!"

The thousand-year-old pig ghost was surprised and kept calling out "my lover".

Shen Lian noticed the admiration in the gaze and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"By the way, what about the starling? Since it once stole the head of a thousand-year-old pig ghost on the third floor of the ghost market, it should be reliable..."

Rumble.

Most of the resentment in the Gao Mansion dissipated for no reason, and the palaces were reduced to ruins.

"hiss."
