Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 52 Slaughtering the True Immortal Temple

Ashes from the talismans filled the air, and the believers felt as if a million worms were gnawing at their brains. They had been in contact with Xie Yali, the core of this worm-infested fungus, for too long in the True Immortal Temple, and ninety percent of them were already beyond saving.

Li Xuan didn't feel much sympathy for them.

He didn't know what percentage of these hundred or so believers had experienced the same ordeal as Lü Ming...

Huang Yifeng and Lin Daosheng, as Xie Yali's "disciples" and senior believers, should have had the most severe reactions, but they only experienced mild nosebleeds.

Li Xuan's words, "Ascension is a scam," seemed to ignite a powder keg in their hearts.

Despite the pain in his head, Huang Yifeng charged forward with his long sword raised, his eyes gloomy, and he said hoarsely, "You evil heretics, stop trying to bewitch people! I will slay demons and monsters for my master!"

His unsteady gait made him seem vulnerable.

Li Xuan has been learning combat skills in the real world for more than half a year, but he has not yet learned swordsmanship. He wants to avoid any risks!

He pulled the purplish-red gourd from his waist, removed the stopper, and gently tapped the outer shell.

Swish!
A beam of cold light shot out from the gourd's mouth and instantly pierced Huang Yifeng's throat. Lin Daosheng, who was standing next to him, took a closer look and realized that it was the blade of a utility knife!
Huang Yifeng's throat was cut, blood spilled from his mouth, he collapsed to the ground and struggled desperately, eventually suffocating to death.

The gourd blessed by the White Crane Immortal has wonderful uses; it can store items like a "storage bag" and automatically absorb and store the spiritual energy of each world like a power bank.

Li Xuan has various magical artifacts to deal with ghosts and monsters, such as the Fengdu Treasure Guiding Seal, the Seal for Investigating Ghosts and Gods in the Three Realms, the Nine Springs Command, the Eastern Peak Emperor's Command, and the Heavenly Canopy Ruler.

However, many spells are ineffective when facing ordinary people with mortal bodies.

Especially in skirmishes, the enemy won't wait for you to slowly set up an altar and chant spells; they'll just come over and hit you on the head with a steel pipe!
This is why Li Xuan has a fear of being physically weak, which is why he desperately tries to improve his nutrition, exercise, and engage in combat sports.

Still unsure, he studied the gourd and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: if items were thrown in to store them, would they also be thrown out? He tried stones and steel balls, which did retain some speed, but the power of manual throwing was lacking.

He tried using a slingshot, which was reasonably powerful.

With the addition of a support and rails, the power of the launched blades has been greatly increased, but it is not enough when facing wooden planks, stone slabs, or metal.

The gourd-shaped hidden weapon was just a temporary measure; he needed to get a handgun when the opportunity arose. Although he was a Taoist practitioner, he was well aware of the deterrent power of modern weapons.
As a cultivator of the Tao, even the trajectory of a ball is part of the Tao.

A flicker of fear flashed in Lin Daosheng's pupils. He had followed his master from his previous life to rebuild his immortal path in this life. What did life and death matter to him? His only fear was losing his life at the hands of this evil demon, having his soul shattered, and never being able to reincarnate.

After all, even the master seemed to be somewhat wary of this evil spirit.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He took a half step back, clenched his right fist, and extended his little finger, index finger, and thumb to form the Three Pure Ones Mudra. He shook it forcefully at the believers beside him, releasing a large amount of strangely scarlet dust, and said, "If you kill this wicked creature, you will surely become immortals and attain enlightenment."

These were several middle-aged women whose bodies were being forced open by the talisman ash, causing them to bleed from all seven orifices and making them unable to stand steadily. At this moment, Lin Daosheng injected them with specially cultivated fungi, causing their pupils to dilate instantly. With silly grins on their faces, they picked up the daggers on the ground and turned to walk towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan no longer held back and lightly patted the mouth of the gourd!

Whoosh whoosh!
A dazzling white light flashed!

The believers all collapsed to the ground, convulsing and dying. Lin Daosheng hadn't expected these believers to be so useless. He turned to flee; he had only followed his master in cultivation for a few months, barely mastering the Yin Gu mind manipulation techniques. Otherwise, he was no different from an ordinary person. *Pfft pfft pfft!*
Three razor blades struck the back of his neck, seemingly damaging the cervical nerves. His body went limp uncontrollably; he wasn't dead yet and could speak, but he couldn't move his limbs at all...

Lin Daosheng panicked: "I am your master's disciple from a previous life. You cannot harm me, otherwise the cycle of cause and effect will bring calamity! You, you, you will be cast into the Ghost City of Fengdu to suffer endless torment in hell! But we cultivators are not subject to the cycle of life and death. We are reborn and still have a smooth path to immortality..."

Li Xuan looked at Lin Daosheng lying on the ground and calmly asked, "Do you know Hei Lu?"

Lin Daosheng was somewhat taken aback. He wanted to say he didn't know, but he was afraid that the other party would kill him. The name "Black Law" sounded strange. It was probably the cultivation method of this evil spirit, or the precepts of the sect.

He hurriedly said, "I've heard a little about it. Although it involves dark cultivation, it's not actually bad. It can even lead people to good. You've already broken the precept against killing by killing my master's disciples and followers!"

Ha, you make it sound so true!
Li Xuan raised his foot and stomped the three blades into the back of Lin Daosheng's neck, killing him instantly. He said, "You sound so convincing, I thought I was repairing pirated copies. When we clean up this mess later, I'll use the Fengdu Treasure to send you to labor reform, so you won't talk nonsense to everyone you meet."

The air was thick with the stench of blood...

Apart from Lin Daosheng and Huang Yifeng, the other believers didn't even touch the hem of Li Xuan's clothes. Instead, they collapsed to the ground lifeless due to the fungal infection caused by insects, leaving the ground covered in vomit, which was disgusting.

Li Xuan thought that entering the True Immortal Temple would inevitably involve fighting with his two disciples and a group of believers, so he sprinkled talisman ash to drive away the fungus as soon as they met, weakening their fighting power first.

To everyone's surprise, it directly deducted their health points.

He was speechless.

Thankfully, I did a lot of self-suggestion and encouragement before entering the building, and that's it?

However, he did not let his guard down.

Because Xie Yali is still in Zhenxian Temple, and we don't know if the "immortal" sister who possessed Huang Huotu's daughter has returned...

He walked through the main hall and went inside.

Behind the main hall was a large empty hall, where a short-haired girl in a light white gauze dress stood. Her features were regular, but she wasn't particularly beautiful; her skin, however, was as white as a corpse. She stood barefoot on the ground, as if she had been standing there for a long time. Her eyeballs moved back and forth in their sockets, revealing eerie double pupils.

Her voice was very soft, even tinged with naivety. She raised her left arm, her right hand empty, yet she made a "flicking dust" gesture, staring at Li Xuan as she spoke:

"Those who cultivate seek immortality and aspire to ascend to heaven. I merely follow the teachings of the ancients, emulating Lord Huangshang in slaying the demon and ascending to immortality! The path of cultivation is arduous and solitary, requiring immense perseverance. In my past life, I devoted my entire existence to arduous cultivation, and was fortunate enough to be reborn in this life with the extraordinary ability to have two eyes. I wish to slay the demon to prove my Dao and guide those with affinity to ascend to the ranks of immortals. However, a doubt lingers in my mind—why do you so forcefully oppose us?"

The last time I heard someone speak like that was Marshal Tianpeng.

When other people speak with sophistication, Li Xuan finds Xie Yali's way of speaking, dressed like a modern young girl, awkward no matter how he looks at it.

He didn't even want to say an opening statement, he started with zero frames and slapped the gourd!

In an instant, five blades of light shot out, heading straight for Xie Yali's face, their momentum fierce and filled with intense killing intent!
You think I'm a "heretical sect," and I think you're a heretical sect too. We're all heretical sects, so let's fight! Why bother reciting lines?
waste time!
