Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 139 The Power of the Golden Scroll

Wu Xian frowned and immediately ordered Huang Mao and his men to lead the way.

Soon after, they arrived at a messy shack, where the neighbors were fleeing in panic.

Huang Mao kicked open the door, and the scene inside was chilling.

Countless scarlet nematodes writhed on the corpses of a family of three, having devoured them beyond recognition.

"Pillar, Pillar, what's wrong with you, Pillar?!"

The blond-haired man cried out in pain, his eyes filled with hatred for the evil god.

He immediately released the four-and-a-half-star [House-Protecting Chicken King], which rushed forward to kill those evil red threadworms.

The Chicken King still had some deterrent effect on the evil nematodes. As soon as it charged forward, the dense nematodes began to flee frantically, trying to escape through the gaps in the shed.

Unfortunately, the next second, the golden scroll [Pleiades Star Lord] appeared.

All the nematodes, as if terrified, began to convulse in agony, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into dust on the ground. Chun Chun was scared to death.

Upon seeing this, the blond-haired group couldn't hide their shock and admiration.

"The young boss has a new work again?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be a gold scroll painting."

"Holy crap, Gold Coupons! Has the little boss already become a Gold Coupon master?"

"As expected of the Golden Scroll Spirit, its mere aura was enough to kill those insects."

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Wu Xian silently stepped forward to examine the unrecognizable corpses of the family of three.

"So they really came for the evil spiritual substances?"

As he expected, the family of three clearly exhibited a state of spiritual structural deficiency.

Clearly, the evil nematode was targeting the unique spiritual substances in the human body.

Compared to other evil scroll painters, this person's methods are clearly more sophisticated and powerful. He doesn't even need to take action himself or have his servants do it. He can spread the evil insects on a large scale simply by parasitizing people.

No wonder he's on the bounty list; his dangerousness level is terrifying.

After some thought, he hovered above the shantytown, his feet resting on a laurel branch, while Pleiades cried out beside him.

Woohoo!
When the innate trait [Crowing at Dawn] is activated, a rooster's crow resounds throughout the heavens and earth, as if an invisible force is stirring up and sweeping across most of the shantytown.

The air seemed to become much clearer in the area where the bird's cry passed.

Then, they arrived near the waste treatment plant and once again displayed their crowing at dawn.

This time, however, there was clearly still a trace of powerful evil insect energy that had not been completely purified.

With a furrowed brow, Wu Xian swooped down.

More than a dozen waste disposal workers looked terrified, unaware of what had happened.

But under the sharp gaze of Pleiades Star Lord, one of the employees' faces contorted in shock, revealing his true colors. "Damn it, what kind of scroll is this... ah..."

puff!puff!puff!
Amidst screams, the employee's flesh and blood tore apart, spewing out countless scarlet nematodes, resembling a giant "plush toy."

Upon seeing this, nearby employees screamed and scattered.

With a wave of his feather fan, Pleiades Star Lord unleashed a beam of pure yang golden light.

The "fluff" on the "plush toy" quickly withered into a layer of charcoal, as if scorched by flames, and adhered to the employee's corpse.

At the same time, a wisp of spiritual energy that only appeared after the scroll shattered surged into the body of Pleiades Star Lord, transforming into painting spirit experience.

"A servant of an evil god?"

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the Pleiades Star Lord, this evil god's servant lurking among the people would never have been discovered.

Once the crisis caused by the evil insect infection is resolved, these evil god servants will be like time bombs, and you never know when another wave will strike.

I briefly checked the items in the servant of the evil god's spatial bracelet, but found no useful information.

He then looked at the other employees who were pale-faced and said, "Tell me about this person's basic information."

“Reporting to…Reporting to my lord,” one of the middle-aged foremen replied nervously, “This man is named Li Ergou. He has been with us for less than half a year. He usually jokes and laughs with everyone. I never expected that he would be a servant of the evil god.”

"Yeah, they said they'd treat me to drinks yesterday, thank goodness I didn't go today." "You've been with the company for less than six months?"

Wu Xian seemed to be deep in thought. After questioning him further, he turned and left.

They then headed to other areas that had not yet been purified by the Roaring Dawn, preparing to use the Roaring Dawn to thoroughly purify and clean up the shantytowns.

Just then, a fierce battle could be heard coming from the shanty below.

Before long, a powerful aura of death emanated from that direction, mixed with the aura of evil insect servants.

Upon arriving at the scene on his sword, Wu Xian's eyes widened in surprise.

"Bai Shiqi?"

Bai Shiqi was seen frowning as he skillfully manipulated the scroll to deal with a servant of an evil god.

Perhaps because the opponent's strength was too strange, they had no choice but to release a golden scroll as a countermeasure.

Looking at the golden scroll depicting a spirit with a human body and a dog's head, holding a scepter, it evokes a strong sense of déjà vu.

"It really is Anubis?" Wu Xian exclaimed in amazement.

Moreover, judging from the image, details, and aura of Anubis, it seemed to be even more perfect than he had expected.

However, it is still quite far from being the "real" Anubis.

Bai Shiqi naturally sensed the approaching powerful aura as well, and upon recognizing Wu Xian, he was clearly momentarily stunned.

"Golden Scrolls?!" Shiraishi Qi exclaimed as if in surprise. "You even have Golden Scrolls?"

Wu Xian didn't explain further, turning his gaze to the evil god's servant who was controlling the evil insect scroll.

With just a glance from the Pleiades Star Lord, the evil god's servant was terrified and turned to run away.

"?!"

Upon seeing this, Shiraishi Qi's pupils involuntarily contracted.

What the heck? One look and you can scare the other person away?

It should be noted that the opponent is a servant of an evil god who controls the scroll of an evil god, and judging from the exchange just now, he is definitely very powerful.

But at this moment, they were actually scared away by the golden scroll next to Wu Xian.

Surely it can't be another scroll featuring insect-themed special attacks, right?
And it's a gold medal!

A "special attack type" scroll at the gold scroll level is just ridiculous!
"Trying to run away?" Shocked, Bai Shiqi didn't stop. The "dog-headed" Death God Painting Spirit beside him raised his hand and released a dark light that entangled the evil god's servant.

In an instant, the evil god's servants became as slow as if they were made of lead.

Wu Xian was slightly bewildered upon seeing this.

If, when making a move, one were to say "Wither away," the effect would be even more perfect.

"Brother Wu, what are you still standing there for?" Bai Shiqi chased after him, not forgetting to remind Wu Xian to make a move.

After all, he also wanted to see further the capabilities of Wu Xian's golden scroll.

But then the golden scroll spirit beside Wu Xian let out a rooster crow, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better think it was cheering him on.

Looking at the evil god's servant again, after hearing the cry, it began to scream in pain and convulse. The evil worm scroll inside its body tore through the servant's body restlessly, and then, in the process of struggling to escape, it turned into a pool of blood.

Shiraishi Qi, who had only chased halfway, was dumbfounded.

He... died?
No, this... this...

"Young Master Bai, it's an honor to meet you!"

Wu Xian leisurely flew to Bai Shiqi's side on his sword and politely clasped his hands in greeting.

While Bai Shiqi was still in a deep shock, he glanced around and noticed that the "flying sword" vehicle under Wu Xian's feet seemed to be quite extraordinary as well.

For a fleeting moment, he even had a delusion.

The Wu Xiancai in front of him seemed more like a powerful figure from a martial arts school who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, while he seemed more like an ordinary scroll painter born in Yaoyang City.
