Netherworld Painted Skin Scroll

Chapter 79 The Demon Takes the Spell

Killing is a skill. This skill does not refer to specific technical details, but strategy. As for killing itself, it is also the most radical strategic means to achieve a certain goal.

The first person who came for the five Huangya Pills was a white-haired old man who looked older than Chen Xin. It seemed as if he was ostracized by the people outside the cave and came here to die. He walked to the entrance of the cave, first looked at the headless corpse on the ground, took two breaths, then walked to the side of the cave, quickly looked up, and then shrank back.

Li Wuxiang laughed and said, "I think your youth and life span have come to an end. Why don't you find a place to retire and live well? Why are you so eager to die? Leave now and I will spare your life."

The old man then dared to walk to the cave entrance hesitantly. When he saw Li Wuxiang, he immediately lowered his eyes and bowed his body: "Yes, yes..."

Then he whispered, "I really don't want to come, but my grandson is sick, so I have to come and see if there is anything good that can save his life..."

He sighed and rubbed his hands as he spoke, seeming to be in a dilemma, but after thinking for a moment he took another step forward: "Master, can you..."

Li Wuxiang's long sword flew out, and the old man suddenly ducked like a monkey, and the long sword missed him. However, his tentacles retracted and the long sword swept downwards, passing across his neck and flew back bloody.

The headless body fell, and a dense layer of white bugs immediately appeared on the stone wall near the cave entrance, jumping wildly like fleas that accidentally jumped onto a hot pot. They were originally heading towards Li Wuxiang, but when they smelled the bloody smell outside the cave, they immediately swooped over with a buzzing sound, and in just a few breaths, the old man's body immediately deflated.

The people outside the cave were frightened and scattered. They waited until the bugs had turned blood red, swelled to the size of soybeans, and burst with crackling sounds, and the juice burned the soil to make it smoke, before they dared to move forward a little.

Li Wuxiang sneered: "You have set fire and poisoned, but you still want to die. Xu Xianren is not easy to mess with, but do I look easy to mess with?"

Feng Ji slowly let out a breath and walked to Xu Xianren's side: "Master... otherwise, let's retreat first. This cave is so small. If we go in one by one, I think we will all die. We don't know where this person comes from. It's better for us to retreat and let him think we are gone..."

"The last gasp of a dying force." Xu Xianren repeated the phrase again, "Since this man is so skilled, why doesn't he just rush out and kill you all?"

"He... is still afraid of you, Master."

Xu Xianren nodded: "Yes, I am afraid of him too."

Feng Ji was stunned: "Ah?"

Xu Xianren glanced at him and said, "Why, do you want me to rush over like them and try his methods myself? Why did I ask you to be the leader, and why did I send a group of people to Ranshan?"

"My God, you said that more people will make things easier—"

"Now is the time to do something. How can such a worthless life be worthy of my reward?" Xu Xianren sneered, "I originally planned to use this group of people to test the traps and mechanisms, so now is the time to make the best use of them."

"Now we know that this thing can hide its body, is not very afraid of fire and poison, and is good at using chain knives. Very good, urge people to explore again!"

Feng Ji sighed, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "This thing is just a faster knife. We have seen many faster knives in the martial arts world. Who else is going? Five Huangya Pills!"

The crowd looked at each other and waited for a long time before someone took a deep breath and strode to about six or seven steps away from the cave entrance.

But he did not come forward again, but sat cross-legged, holding out three small piles of earth in front of him, and cut his fingers with a silver dagger, dripping three drops of blood on the piles one by one. Then he put his hands together, and a gust of wind suddenly blew up from his sleeves, which then calmed down, his body trembled, and he sat still, muttering something.

After two breaths, the sound stopped and the whole person seemed to have entered a state of meditation.

After another three breaths of silence, everyone held their breath and stared at him with wide eyes.

After a while, Li Wuxiang in the cave could not help laughing, but he coughed twice and said, "What are you waiting for?"

At this moment, the man fell on his back with a bang, his eyes wide open and a small red dot between his eyebrows.

Xu Xianren nodded: "Good, he is also good at using hidden weapons, and he was indeed injured by the fire poison before. Let's explore again!"

Feng Ji could only shout again: "Be careful of his knife, be careful of his hidden weapons - are there any friends with great magical powers who want to try?"

The crowd was silent, and they heard Li Wuxiang laughing again in the cave: "You might as well say you want to die."

The faces of the Jianghu people now looked even uglier. After a while, someone said, "We don't want anything anymore. We don't want anything. Mr. Xu, can we just leave?"

Feng Ji turned to look at Xu Xianren, who nodded and said, "Okay, let them go."

Feng Ji was stunned: "Really?"

"Really. They left, you brothers go and try."

Feng Ji gritted his teeth, winked at the three people beside him, and took a step forward together: "Who said they wanted to leave? Either go and earn these five Huangya Pills for yourself, or try the methods of my brothers and Xu Xianren! Who? Come out! Or I'll call for someone!"

The person who spoke was quickly pushed out, and three breaths later, there was another dead body - but this time the head was still connected to half of the neck, and it cried a few times before dying.

The fourth person was called out again, but he was actually quite capable, dodging a flash of knife light at the entrance of the cave and rushed in. But he soon crawled out again, with a wound on his chest from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, his skin and flesh rolled up, and his intestines were all out of his body.

At this time, the originally silent and frightened crowd became a little agitated - everyone could see that the previous one was not killed cleanly, and this one was still on the ground trying to take the intestines back... The thing in the cave had fought several people in a row and was already showing signs of fatigue!

But at this time no one was willing to step forward, so Feng Ji and others ordered another one.

The blade of the knife was bent - when I chopped the last person, I had to leave some skin and flesh attached to the neck, so the knife was tilted and stuck on the bone. When I chopped the last person, I had to hit the chest and abdomen, but the cave was narrow and I hit the stone again.

This knife was given by Chen Xin, and Li Wuxiang wanted to keep it as a souvenir, so he put it back into the sheath and drew out the dagger from his waist.

At this time, the fifth person was looking around the cave entrance, and suddenly he raised his hand and shot out a long sword that was nailed to the stone wall. The sun came out outside, and the figure was facing away from the light. Li Wuxiang couldn't see his face clearly, but after seeing the long sword, he put down the dagger.

Only then did I hear the man shout, "Kill!"

Then he rushed in, pressed himself against the stone wall, and closed his eyes tightly. After a breath, he dared to slowly open his eyelids: "Young man, I was forced to come here..." Li Wuxiang smiled and nodded, knocking on the stone wall with his dagger while asking: "Well. Do you regret it? You came here for the treasure, but you failed to become the leader of Ranshan Sect and almost lost your life."

Old Guo's face was covered with cold sweat: "I..."

Li Wuxiang's face darkened. "I'll spare your life again and give you another favor - if...if Xu Xianren lets people go down the mountain in a while, you have to find a way to get down. Do you know where the thirty-six sects nearby, Louguang Sect and Tianxin Sect, are?"

"Ah? Ah, I know, I know!"

"When the time comes, go and explain the situation here to the people there. Tell them that there is a treasure in the illusion, and it is being guarded by a disciple of Ranshan. I am willing to give it to them. Once the matter is done, do you like using swords? Do you want to be a swordsman?"

"what?"

Li Wuxiang slapped the back of his head, and a flash of light shot out from his mouth, and then immediately returned to his mouth: "Then I will teach you how to be a swordsman."

Lao Guo's eyes widened, and he almost forgot to stick to the stone wall: "You, you, you... you are a swordsman!? Young man, why don't you fight your way out?"

"Yes. Because I need to ask Xu Xianren how he knew there was an illusion in Ranshan. Besides, there are so many of you outside, and it would be troublesome for me as a swordsman. So, I am practicing magic skills now, and when my magic skills are perfected, I will fight my way out naturally."

Old Guo was about to speak, but Li Wuxiang drew his sword and threw it at him: "Go out on your own, but be ruthless."

Lao Guo was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood. He took the sword and stabbed it hard into his left abdomen, piercing through the skin and flesh, then he kicked his foot against the stone wall and jumped out of the cave on his back, rolling on the ground several times, his body covered in mud and blood, almost sliding down to Xu Xianren, and stopped moving.

Xu Xianren's brows relaxed, he took a few steps forward, and kicked him over with his foot - seeing that he opened his eyes, the remaining martial artists immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.

"Yeah. You have some skills." Xu Xianren looked at him expressionlessly, "How is the thing inside?"

Lao Guo frowned in pain: "He...he...I almost hurt him..."

Xu Xianren laughed loudly and kicked him aside: "Okay! What did I say?"

"He's at the end of his rope!" Feng Ji was delighted. "Master, just wait and see. I'll find him out for you right away!"

Xu Xianren snorted and strode forward: "You are worthy of attacking the person I want? You are a bunch of trash, get away from me!"

He took three steps forward, holding the board in his sleeves, and quickly formed hand seals and stepped on the steps as he walked. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he shouted loudly: "Demon, take the spell!"

The plate trembled slightly, and the soil and rocks at the entrance and walls of the cave sank with a click, immediately cracking into countless tiny wrinkles. Xu Xianren swung his sleeves, and the sleeves seemed to become long and wide in an instant, protecting him from behind - three clang clang clang sounds were heard, and three flying stones were smashed to pieces on his sleeves!

Xu Xianren laughed loudly and waved his sleeves. The broken stones at the entrance of the cave rolled back into the cave with a buzzing sound. The crackling sound was like rain hitting banana leaves. The broken stones immediately broke into large pieces of stone chips in the cave, agitated repeatedly, and finally turned into dust and mist!
He rushed in at this time, and when he released his left hand from his sleeve, a rain of steel nails flew forward with a bang, immediately nailing everything he saw into a thousand holes. He then stopped three steps away from the cave and looked inside carefully -

There was no one in sight.

At this time, Li Wuxiang was pressed against the stone wall above the cave entrance, his human skin pressed extremely thin, his chest wide open, countless tentacles hanging down, avoiding Xu Xianren's previous two methods.

But he failed to avoid the first spell - he didn't know what magical power he used, but now he felt as if a huge burden was pressing on him, almost as heavy as an ordinary person's body. He had to use the other half of his tentacles to barely hang himself on the stone wall.

He should have pounced on Xu Xianren's head when he came in just now, but he was a little slow and missed the best opportunity. He could only continue to wait here.

Xu Xianren was stunned for a moment, and immediately took a step back, retreating to under Li Wuxiang. At this time, he instinctively raised his face again - a piece of human skin immediately wrapped his upper body!

The tentacles began to drill into his seven orifices in an instant, and the daggers and small swords hidden in his chest and abdomen were like rotating blades, scraping his face, neck, and shoulders!
Xu Xianren immediately let out a shrill scream, but he did not struggle with his hands like Wang Peng did before. Instead, he closed his mouth the next moment, and a surge of energy surged through his body, and with a bang, he propped up the human skin.

Li Wuxiang still seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and with the support of this true energy, the golden coil in his body felt for the first time - as if he was a living person being squeezed by two powerful forces. As a result, the human skin loosened slightly, and Xu Xianren immediately grabbed the edge of his chest with both hands and suddenly pulled his head out.

At this time, his face was torn and one of his eyeballs was hanging out. There were countless bloody tentacles squirming wildly in his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He howled in pain and struggled hard to finally get the tentacles out. But before he could catch his breath, Li Wuxiang had already pulled out his sword and stabbed him several times in the chest and abdomen.

Xu Xianren screamed miserably, used his remaining eyeball to look in the right direction, and rushed out of the cave. Li Wuxiang immediately stretched out his tentacles to catch him - one was seriously injured, and the other was carrying a heavy burden, and they suddenly stood in a stalemate at the entrance of the cave.

Xu Xianren grabbed the stone at the entrance of the cave with his bloody hands and tried to drag himself out, but Li Wuxiang stabbed him in the back several times. But Xu Xianren still clenched his teeth and did not relax his strength. He took a deep breath and took out the board from his sleeve, turned around and hit Li Wuxiang's arm.

His arm had been injured in the illusion before, and only a thin layer of skin had grown back. Just now, during the fight with Xu Xianren in the narrow cave, the golden entanglement was rubbed out and the board hit the golden entanglement.

Li Wuxiang felt his soul buzzing and almost vibrated out! The tentacles also drooped limply, as if they had become dead.

Xu Xianren then struggled to climb out, fell at the entrance of the cave, and stumbled back to Lao Guo's position using his hands and feet, and fell headfirst to the ground.

The Jianghu outside the cave looked at each other in horror, and almost all of them held their weapons in their hands, fearing that Li Wuxiang would suddenly rush out. Some of the less courageous ones began to feel weak in the knees when they saw Xu Xianren in such a miserable state.

Feng Ji was also horrified. He and his four brothers held sticks across their chests. They waited until they saw the thread or something at the hole slowly shrink back before they dared to walk over to Xu Xianren.

He was lying on his back at this time, with more air coming out than coming in through his mouth. His remaining eyeball was covered in blood, and there was no healthy piece of flesh on his upper body. His lips trembled as he whispered.

Feng Ji raised his foot and kicked him lightly, but Xu Xianren seemed not to feel it and just continued to move his lips.

Feng Ji heaved a sigh of relief and squatted down, watching the movement at the cave entrance while groping Xu Xianren. Xu Xianren weakly raised one hand to stop him, but he opened it.

He quickly found a bunch of bottles and jars of elixirs and other things, and his face lit up with joy. He reached under his body and touched the fluorine board. He frowned, took it in his hand and turned it over to take a look -

The whole person was stunned immediately.

　Two in one! Haha! Everyone is still surfing the Internet at this late hour.
