Witch Wind

Chapter 31: Desperate (Part )

"They are just mortals!" Xing Tianli looked at the man in white robe with a grim look.

"Under the shining light of God's glory, they are no longer mortals." The man in white robe chuckled and shook the silver bell in his hand vigorously.

The moonlight fell on these college students, and they all howled at the same time, and their flesh and blood suddenly shrank and sank. Xing Tianli clearly felt that their blood, their lifespan, and their souls were all burned out in just a short breath. At the same time, a strange force exploded in their bodies.

Along with the harsh sound of bones rubbing against each other, the bodies of more than a dozen young men and women twisted and squirmed, their bones grew abnormally, and long, coarse hairs continued to grow from beneath their shriveled flesh.

Amid the mournful howls of wolves, more than a dozen "werewolfs" about six feet tall, skinny but with extremely strong bones and ferocious faces suddenly appeared in front of Xing Tianli.

The man in white robes was so fascinated by what he saw that he shouted hoarsely, "Mother of God, my Lord, look at the miracle created by your endless power! What a powerful and perfect warrior! Capture him alive!"

The man in white robe pointed lightly at Xing Tianli.

Silver bells rang, and more than a dozen men and women rushed towards Xing Tianli at the same time. They were very powerful and fast, and their strong feet stepped on the roof of the terrace, creating a pit the size of a water tank.

Xing Tianli's figure swayed, leaving behind a few faint afterimages. The Tongtian Miaozhu made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and a "Sword Ten" attack was blasted out. Ten sharp sword beams pierced through the front and back in one breath, piercing straight into the white-robed man's brow.

More than a dozen werewolves passed by Xing Tianli. They waved their hands as hard as they could, and their three-inch-long black and hard claws always brushed against Xing Tianli's body, but failed to scratch a single hair on his body.

The man in white robes rang the silver bell lightly, and a faint light flashed between his eyebrows. A strong and pure spiritual power spread from his mind. Compared with the old priest in Xiaolongqiu Town, the man in white robes had a purer spiritual power, with fewer impurities, and his spiritual power actually formed a clear honeycomb-like geometric structure!

Although his mental power had not been fully condensed, compared to the old priest that Xing Tianli had seen, the white-robed man's use of mental power had clearly reached another, higher level.

With a few crisp sounds of "clang clang", Xing Tianli blasted out ten sword lights, and the translucent honeycomb shield in front of the white-robed man sank and twisted, stirring up large ripples. The white-robed man's face turned slightly pale, but his shield did indeed block Xing Tianli's attack.

More than a dozen werewolves swooped over and trapped Xing Tianli in the middle.

They waved their claws frantically and opened their mouths madly to tear Xing Tianli apart. Xing Tianli shuttled back and forth among them in a rather awkward manner. Several times, the hard claws touched his body, making dull thumping sounds.

"Be careful, stupid guy." The man in the white robe hurriedly shook the silver bell and said in a deep voice: "The noble masters have taken a liking to this boy. He must be delivered to them intact."

The werewolves slowed down their offensive, and the "precarious" Xing Tianli became "barely holding on". He dodged and evaded in an "extremely embarrassed" manner under the siege of the werewolves, occasionally waving the Tongtian Miaozhu, but without using any sword techniques, he simply used the weight of the Tongtian Miaozhu to attack violently.

Every blow made the werewolves stagger back, but with their thick skin and flesh, they could withstand the heavy blows and just let out a long howl before continuing to join the siege.

The man in white robes nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "What a perfect warrior, so perfect. No fear, no pain, loyal, never betrayal. With just one order, he can tear all enemies to pieces!"

"Damn those Yingjishi! They trafficked a large number of young and strong men from the East Country to provide them with the much-needed labor force. Moreover, they are all pure blood, not contaminated by anything, and are 'clean people'!"

"Ahaha, I am looking forward to it very much. When the laborers they transport to the mainland later, those 100,000, 200,000... 1 million, 2 million laborers, suddenly all become these perfect warriors overnight!"

"Ahaha, I can't wait to see that wonderful scene!"

Xing Tianli raised his head and looked at the man in white robe.

The Yingjishi people trafficked the refugees from the East Country to supplement the labor force? This kind of thing was already in Xing Tianli's estimation. But what about the so-called "clean people with pure blood"?
What does it mean?
Do these trafficked young men and women also have the functions of "reproduction" and "replenishment"?

And these people from the Holy Mother Church, or rather, the people behind the Holy Mother Church, when they failed to intercept and disrupt the trafficking of the Yingji people in Xiaolongqiu Town, they actually came up with an even more vicious method?

These people were controlled and mutated by them using unknown methods!

If, there really were a million werewolves erupting in England's homeland... Oh my, that "wonderful" scene would make Xing Tianli's scalp tingle just thinking about it!
These guys burned their blood, lifespan and soul, and turned into werewolves without fear or pain, whose lifespan might only be one or two years... Their strength reached the level of three to four thousand kilograms, and their bodies were so strong that they seemed to be wearing a medium-sized suit of armor. Ordinary people were simply unable to resist, let alone hurt them in the slightest!

This is bound to be a catastrophe for England!
Of course, Xing Tianli didn't care about the lives of the Yingji people - they were a group of "aliens" with red, yellow, blue and green fur, red, orange, blue and purple eyes, and some of them had eyes like cats, with two different colors of eyeballs. Xing Tianli didn't care if they died!

He, Xing Tianli, is not a saint!
But those refugees were targeted by the Holy Mother Church and were about to take action against them!

Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin... Even if Xing Tianli is not a saint, he must do something!
With a clear whistle, the Taoist robe of Xing Tianli, who was beaten into a mess by a dozen werewolves, suddenly swayed, and waves of dense and flexible force spread out in all directions. The force was not strong, but it contained a hint of spatial mystery. A dozen werewolves waved their claws randomly, but inexplicably found that the distance between them and Xing Tianli suddenly changed from being close at hand to more than ten feet away.

Xing Tianli rushed out, the twenty-four sections of the Tongtian Magic Bamboo lit up at the same time, and the blood-colored talismans flashed. He let out a long roar, having made great progress in his cultivation in the past few days, and blasted out with "Sword Eighteen" with all his might.

Eighteen sword lights connected in unison and hit the mental shield of the man in white robe.

With a crisp sound, blood gushed out of all the orifices of the white-robed man. His mental shield was cut through by Xing Tianli's sword. With a touch of Tongtian Miaozhu, his neck exploded instantly, leaving only his head flying more than three feet high.

When the head flew up, the white-robed man's expression was still extremely horrified - the power of Xing Tianli's sword was more than ten times stronger than the previous attack? He defended according to the strength of Xing Tianli's attack just now, but he didn't expect...

What’s even more terrifying is that it’s not just the power of the sword.

An extremely terrifying spiritual power was also attached to the sword light of Xing Tianli - a spiritual power that was a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times stronger than his mental power, and countless times more refined!

The spiritual power that was completely in a different dimension easily crushed the white-robed man's self-proclaimed strong mental power.

The darkness was shrouded, and amid the sound of secret spells, Xing Tianli cast the three spells simultaneously: the "Soul-Calming Spell", the "Soul-Confusing Spell" and the "Soul-Destroying Spell".

The soul-calming spell suddenly solidified the soul of the man in white robe, and all his memories were completely frozen. Not a trace of his soul could be damaged or destroyed.

The Soul-Confusing Curse caused his original spiritual intelligence to suddenly become confused, and he could no longer do anything that would harm his soul, completely stripping him of his ability to resist.

The Soul-Destroying Curse was like a mountain pressing down on his head, destroying all his intelligence and instincts, like a group of burly men hacking at him with swords.

The head exploded, leaving only a ball of extremely pure memory aggregate which fell into Xing Tianli's hands.

With one palm, Xing Tianli crushed the cluster of memories that emitted faint mental fluctuations. He concentrated his mind slightly and found the memories he wanted from the depths of the white-robed man's memory.

About the Saint Norman Kingdom's lapdog-like loyalty to the Mother Church.

Regarding the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Saint-Norman in Pinghai City, it has absolute control over the International Concession Police Station.

Regarding the matter of several blond hair, red eyed, powerful and terrifying 'golden robe' bishops who suddenly parachuted in from the top of the Holy Mother Church - these golden robe bishops suddenly parachuted in two days ago. After they learned about what happened in Xiaolongqiu Town, they immediately issued a death order, mobilized all their connections, and used all means to capture Xing Tianli alive!
"Master Taoist, who did I offend?" Xing Tianli frowned.

When in Xiaolongqiu Town, the old priest was the first to know that he could fight against those missionaries with strange powers. But at that time, the top leaders of the Holy Mother Church only used their connections to arrange an official position for Xing Tianli as a county chief clerk, hoping to win over Xing Tianli and Li Kuisheng through Xing Tianli.

However, these golden-robed bishops directly issued a death order to capture Xing Tianli alive at any cost!
Where did these guys come from? What are their identities? Why are they so interested in Xing Tianli?

More than a dozen werewolves roared and pounced towards Xing Tianli with all their might.

Xing Tianli looked at them expressionlessly. Although he didn't know how they became like this, he knew that there was no possibility of rescuing them.

Life, blood, and soul are all burned up.

In front of him at this moment were just a dozen or so combat puppets with terrifying power!
The Tongtian Magic Bamboo spun, a cold light surged, a very piercing sword sound rose to the sky, and more than a dozen ferocious wolf heads flew into the air. Not even much blood plasma spurted out of their necks, only a few extremely sticky, green-red juices with a strange fishy smell spilled out.

"Damn it!" Xing Tianli gritted his teeth and kicked the white-robed man's body into pieces.

He clasped his hands together, looked at the bodies of the werewolves, and quickly recited a scripture for salvation.

As expected, Saint Norman soldiers in iron-gray uniforms had already climbed up to the roofs of the surrounding buildings. When they saw the scene here, they simply raised various guns and locked onto Xing Tianli's body, but no one opened fire.

Obviously, these soldiers had also received orders to "capture alive".

Below, dozens of black-robed priests rang silver bells together.

The piercing sound of silver bells floated in the air, enveloping the entire Shan De Fang.

Low roars were heard from all directions at the same time. Xing Tianli stood by the guardrail and looked into the distance. He saw a large number of neighbors looking up at the sky and roaring in pain.

Their flesh shrank and shrank, while their souls, blood essence, and lifespan all burned. Their bodies squirmed slightly, and their bones rapidly mutated. With the harsh sound of bones rubbing against each other, they grew long hair all over their bodies, and their heads gradually changed into the shape of wolves, bears, and even a cow with two huge horns.

Those who succeeded in the transformation were all young men and women.

Those who were too old and weak, and those who were too young, their blood and essence could not withstand such crazy burning. Their bodies suddenly collapsed and exploded into balls of sticky plasma.

Xing Tianli's body trembled slightly, and his heart of Taoism was almost lost.

However, he managed to keep a clear mind - there are more than 3,000 households in Shan De Fang, but all of them are shared houses. There are two or three families in one house, and three to five families in another. On average, there are ten people living in one household, right?
That’s more than 30,000 people.

Putting aside the elderly and children, there are more than 10,000 to 20,000 young and strong people who have been transformed into these terrible fighting tools.

Even though Tianli was exhausted, he couldn't withstand the siege of more than ten thousand mutant warriors.

Not to mention, there are dozens of missionaries of unknown strength out there.

There are countless soldiers and police from the Saint Norman Kingdom. Xing Tianli doesn't want to take on their advanced firearms... What if these guys take out rocket launchers, or even something more terrifying?
With a long roar, Xing Tianli jumped directly down from the terrace of the small building.

He ran as fast as he could, stepping on the Yu Step, leaving a trace of afterimage behind him. After a few jumps, he rushed out of the area where the single-family building was located and crashed into the street in the northeast corner of the neighborhood. Dozens of mutants with wolf and bear heads surrounded him, roaring and tearing at Xing Tianli like crazy.

Xing Tianli let out a light shout and formed a seal with his left hand. With every step he took, the earth shook slightly and the ground cracked. Pieces of earth and rocks the size of a human head flew into the air and rushed towards the mutants with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

The earth and rocks flew and hit the mutants, breaking their bones and tendons with a dull sound. The skinny figures were blown away by the force. Xing Tianli ran dozens of feet away in just one breath. He saw the exit of Shan De Fang in front of him. A little further away was Bai E Bang, which was only a few steps away from the steel arch bridge.

'Boom'!
Suddenly someone fired.

Several large-caliber bullets almost grazed Xing Tianli's body. He could even smell the hot air produced by the rapid friction of the bullets against the air.

Xing Tianli looked back and saw a small group of Saint Norman soldiers not far away. One soldier was pointing a rifle at him, and next to the soldier, a man who looked like an officer was shouting at him.

'Catch alive'?

Xing Tianli smiled, the cauldron in his heart trembled slightly, golden light burned, and the five-colored mist filled his body. With the power of magic, his figure suddenly accelerated, and with a "swish", he took a step of more than 20 feet. The light and shadow around him flickered colorfully, almost perfectly blending into the shadow cast by the row of buildings.

There was chaos all around, with curses and roars everywhere.

Xing Tianli rushed out of Shandefang, crossed a two-lane road on the north side, and did not take the steel arch bridge, but jumped directly into Baiebang.

On the river, there were two gunboats cruising with the Saint-Norman Iron Cross, sword and shield flag flying.

Xing Tianli narrowed his eyes - these guys from the Holy Mother Church really invested a lot of money.

He stepped lightly on the water with his right foot, used the force to leap into the air, and jumped directly onto an inland gunboat. Amid the terrified shouts of the Saint Norman soldiers, Xing Tianli rushed into the cockpit. The Tongtian Miaozhu spun, and arcs of blood splattered, and the entire cockpit instantly turned into a dead zone.

With a whirlwind on his body, he rushed out of the cockpit. The inland gunboat was only about 40 to 50 meters long, and the sword of Xing Tianli could cover the entire ship. With a flash of cold light, the heads of more than a dozen sailors who had not yet reacted on the deck flew up.

The spirit enveloped the entire ship. Xing Tianli stomped his feet, then jumped into the air. His toes lightly touched the water surface, and he had reached the other side of the river. He ran across a four-lane road, crossed a green belt full of maple trees, and then Xing Tianli disappeared into the British expatriate community.

His figure had disappeared among the pointed-roof villas. On the river, several boxes of shells exploded in the cabin of the inland gunboat that he had slaughtered. The small gunboat was blown into two pieces, and brilliant fireworks bloomed on the river.

The sound of the explosion could be heard from far away. Whistles were heard everywhere in the International Concession. Sharp alarms were even heard in some strongholds where garrisons were stationed. Large groups of garrisons from various countries organized their weapons and rushed into their battle positions.

After a while.

On the top of a brick-and-wood villa with a pointed roof and a very English country style, with an extremely spacious square chimney behind it, Xing Tianli looked out at what was happening in Shandefang opposite Baiebang.

Over there, there were bursts of gunfire and noise.

He saw several patrol boats flying flags of different countries, sailing quickly along Baie Bay. He saw the gunboat of Saint Norman approaching the shore, and there were sailors standing on the shore, communicating with the sailors from various countries on the patrol boats.

Amid the faint sound of silver bells, a seven-foot-tall minotaur with a pair of large curved horns on his head roared deeply and rushed out of Shan De Fang like a madman. With a pounce of a tiger, he jumped onto an approaching patrol boat flying the flag of the Farus Federation.

On the patrol boat, a dozen Farus soldiers wearing black upper and white lower uniforms screamed and fired their pistols with a bang.

Most of the bullets went nowhere, and a small number of bullets landed on the minotaur, but there was no reaction. The minotaur broke into their team, and with a spin of his arms, he beat the sailors to pieces, and their twisted bodies were blown away for more than ten feet. Some were even blown directly over Baiebang and fell on the road on the river side.

Dozens of patrolmen were blowing their whistles and rushing out of the nearby patrol house towards the steel arch bridge.

Suddenly seeing someone falling from the sky, the policemen were so frightened that they screamed and dodged in all directions.

Xing Tianli's pupils narrowed. Among these patrolmen who came to reinforce, there were actually a small number of people from Dongyun?

You don't even need to look at their appearance, just look at their height of over four feet and you'll know that these guys must be from Dongyun... or what the common people of Dongguo call 'Dongyun Island slaves'!
The minotaur wreaked havoc on the patrol boat and almost tore down the entire cockpit in a few moves.

Suddenly, several black-robed priests, surrounded by a group of Saint Norman soldiers, came out of Shandefang. They shouted the name of the Virgin Mary loudly, and dazzling light burst out from their palms.

In full view of everyone, the minotaur turned into ashes in the light. With a "bang", the black ashes were blown away by the river wind and disappeared without a trace.

"Merciful Virgin Mary, the evil demon has been completely destroyed."

A priest in a black robe stood on the shore. The river breeze blew his robe, and his sleeves fluttered in the air, which gave him a look of holiness and mercy.

He shouted: "Merciful Mother, no evil spirits are allowed to exist in the place covered by your glory!"

On several patrol boats, the sailors from various countries who witnessed the Minotaur's killing spree and saw the missionaries decisively exorcise the demons all knelt on the deck in fear and trepidation.

Xing Tianli cursed out some extremely ugly words, then turned and left.
