A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

The battle continues.

The two methods clashed, producing a chaotic mix of golden light and gray mist, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

The Venus Dharma form that Zhang Yucheng had transformed into suddenly made a feint, revealing an opening.

As expected, the demonic entity opposite grinned and pounced, its gray, turbid mist transforming into a giant hand that ripped straight into his heart.

In that split second—

The celestial chart scroll in Venus's hand suddenly shone brightly, and a command resounded like thunder from the heavens:

"Decree of the Star Official: All Stars Return to Their Positions!"

Om-! ! !

A dazzling starlight exploded from between his eyebrows.

Immediately, the second point, the third point... In the blink of an eye, billions of dazzling starlight burst forth from his entire body, from his limbs to his bones!

The stars automatically connect and extend, intertwining in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, a vast and magnificent array of stars, encompassing all directions, unfolded in the void above his head!

As soon as the great formation was completed, the world beneath this gray-white sky was suddenly transformed!

All I saw was:

The Azure Dragon constellation of the East radiates azure light, its dragon form coiled, exuding majesty.

The seven constellations of the Northern Black Tortoise conceal hidden waters, with tortoises and snakes intertwined, appearing and disappearing indistinctly;

The White Tiger constellation in the west is sharp and aggressive, its roar is resounding, and the atmosphere is filled with a chilling aura.

The seven constellations of the Vermilion Bird in the south shimmer with crimson flames, their shadows fluttering, their intense heat scorching the sky.

Furthermore, the Ziwei Enclosure, Taiwei Enclosure, and Tianshi Enclosure stand in the center of the sky, surrounded by a multitude of stars, with the Emperor Star hanging high, ruling over the entire heavens, with strict laws and regulations.

Billions of stars cascaded down like a waterfall, weaving a net that enveloped the four corners of the earth, sealing off the heavens and the earth!

Where the starlight reached, the originally pervasive gray-white mist, like snow being poured into boiling water, hissed and quickly melted away.

This is the supernatural power—"Star Official's Edict: All Stars Return to Their Positions"!

Using the power of the stars in the heavens, an unparalleled killing formation is set up, capable of trapping and killing. Demons and evil spirits will be burned upon contact, and immortals and Buddhas will show reverence upon approaching it!

"Good heavens!"

Ji Zuodao, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but gasp.

"No warning at all, just unleashing his full power without warning... This old fox... Director Zhang, he's probably been planning this for ages!"

Sure enough, those who can hold the top spot in Jinghai 749 are no pushovers.

They look righteous and awe-inspiring, but when it comes to using dirty tricks, they don't even blink.

The opposing Mind Magic Avatar clearly hadn't expected the main body to be so unethical, unleashing its ultimate attack without warning.

However, it's clearly harboring some wicked intentions as well.

Several sickly, gray star-like phantoms hovered around him, barely solidifying...

But in the end, it was a step too late.

In that split second, in the blink of an eye.

The magnificent Zhou Tian Star Array has been fully deployed, with billions of starlight surging like a reversed Milky Way, carrying the stellar power to crush everything, and descending upon the head of the Heart Magic Demon!

"roar--!!!"

The Mind Magic Form let out a twisted, hoarse, inhuman roar, swirling with the gray star charts and deathly shadows of the sky, and fiercely met the attack!

However, before the majestic power that rules over the four corners of the earth, this imitation, lifeless, and gloomy power ultimately paled in comparison.

Like lingering snow meeting the scorching sun, or tattered cotton being engulfed in flames.

laugh--!

In a single exchange, the seemingly ferocious and overwhelming dark demonic array was torn apart, pierced, and crushed by the pure and domineering starlight!

Countless gray-black demonic shadows wailed, disintegrated, and vanished silently amidst the starlight.

"No--!!!"

The Mind Magic Form let out a final shriek, and its colossal magical body, several dozen feet tall, was completely engulfed by endless starlight.

As the starlight faded, the illusory images of the stars in the sky slowly disappeared.

The radiant and dignified Dharma image stood in mid-air, slowly retracting the unfolded star chart.

A faint, moon-like light rippled behind his head, illuminating his handsome face, his long beard fluttering gently, and his crane-feather cloak moving without wind.

The suffocating spiritual pressure and dazzling light gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.

All that remained was the earth, ravaged and broken, and the almost imperceptible ashes, purified by starlight, slowly falling from the sky.

Ji Zuodao watched with amazement, muttering to himself.

Good heavens, this is different from Uncle Liu's Flaming Mountain supernatural power, which burns the heavens and boils the seas and relies on his immense strength to make bricks fly.

Director Zhang's "Star Official's Edict" involves both setting up an array and issuing edicts. The starlight shifts and the positions change, clearly indicating that it's a delicate task that requires precise operation and cannot be done carelessly in the slightest.

The key point is that he's fucking handsome! He recites the Jade Emperor's decree, all the gods obey his commands, thunderous drums shake the sky, heavenly soldiers line up in formation, and he patrols on behalf of Heaven!

Wow, the two leaders of the 749th Bureau of Jinghai are quite a good match, one focuses on the mechanism and the other on the numerical values.

That's impressive.

"etc……"

Ji Zuodao suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he nudged Li Tiezhu, who was sitting next to him, with his elbow.

"That black and white TV... cough, that Mind Magic Image, wasn't it destroyed by Director Zhang's combo attack? Can we get out now?"

His tone carried a hint of anticipation.

Li Tiezhu took the unlit cigarette out of his mouth, glanced at him sideways, and looked at him like he was looking at a daydreaming fool.

"What are you thinking about?"

He lazily pointed with his hand, which was holding a cigarette, toward the low-rise buildings in the distance.

"Look over there, on the rooftop."

Ji Zuodao squinted and looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the distance, on the roof of a relatively intact gray-white stone house, a figure wearing a long black overcoat stood quietly.

The person had their back to this side, their posture upright, but their entire body was only in shades of black and white, like a faded silhouette against the gray sky.

And he wasn't the only one.

Behind him, amidst the high and low ruins, there were quite a few figures standing indistinctly.

There were men and women, young and old, dressed in various styles; some were dressed as qi practitioners, while others were still wearing the old-fashioned uniforms of 749.

Without exception, everyone was just like the figure in the trench coat ahead—

All colors have faded, leaving only monotonous, cold, and lifeless black and white.

Like a group of actors who have stepped out of an old silent film, they stand quietly among the ruins, silently "watching" this side.

The hairs on the back of Ji Zuodao's neck suddenly stood up.

"Holy crap?!"

He gasped, his tongue almost tied in knots.

"Why are there so many inner demons?! Am I running a wholesale market?!"

Li Tiezhu put the cigarette back in his mouth and mumbled an "uh-huh," his voice devoid of emotion, only showing the numbness that had accumulated day after day.

"That's what this godforsaken place is capable of."

"Once you enter this area, no matter how deeply you hide or how tightly you cover up your secrets, they will all be 'hooked' out by it."

"It's not just about drawing it out... it can also truly and realistically create a physical body for your inner demons."

He paused, then glanced at Ji Zuodao.

"The way to get out of this hellhole isn't complicated, there's only one: find the monster hidden deep in this land, kill it, and the rules here will cease to exist."

"But the problem is..."

Li Tiezhu twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace.

"These inner demons have been pent up in our hearts for countless years. Finally, we've got this real body that can walk, jump, touch, and fight."

"Do you think...they'd be happy to watch us kill that monster?"

"not to mention……"

He sighed, slowly pulled something out of his pocket, held it out in his palm, and presented it to Ji Zuodao.

It was a coin.

The material is neither gold nor copper, and has a dull, matte finish.

It is similar in size to a regular coin, but thicker.

The coin has a smooth surface, without any text or patterns, only a faint, indescribable, dull luster.

"Besides the main entity that can draw out the demons in people's hearts, there are also many other strange creatures of unknown origin wandering around this place, like monsters that have been spawned in a game."

"One of the rules here: kill those weirdos and you can get one of these things."

Li Tiezhu picked up the matte coin with two fingers and waved it in front of Ji Zuodao.

"Here it is, we call it a resurrection coin."
