No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"There are no buts. Now is not the time to dwell on these things. I forcibly broke through the barrier and successfully ascended, but I was also greatly injured. Fortunately, the two of them are weak and I can make them lose their fighting ability without me having to do anything myself."

But if Yunfu Temple is truly being targeted, and my presence has already been detected, their reinforcements will arrive soon. We can't stay here any longer. Once I've recovered enough to move, we'll leave and make further plans.”

"it is good..."

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Shu realized that the abbot was actually just bluffing.

How cunning! They actually fooled themselves.

"Then they..." The weasel pointed to Jiang Shu and Xue Wang, and the last unfortunate victim who had been saved but not completely.

"Kill him." The abbot said coldly, "Whether it's for Nannan's sake or to avoid revealing our whereabouts, we can't leave him alive. It's just a pity that I can't torture him myself."

"Ah."

The weasel with a human face nodded.

After discovering Jiang Shu's identity as an evolved being and realizing that he was very likely the real culprit, the weasel-faced man's goodwill towards him vanished, and he naturally broke free from the influence of "sacrifice".

Furthermore, aside from the hatred of killing her daughter, she also had reasons to silence Jiang Shu.

She couldn't let the abbot know that the disaster at Yunfu Temple was very likely caused by her.

So she sharpened her knife and prepared to attack Jiang Lang.

And it was at this moment...

Why don't you dare tell your husband what we did together that night?

"She messes around with other people outside, but when she gets home she wants to play the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother, and sever all ties with her ex-partners?"

"This is not a good habit."

"You made me very sad, so I'm going to punish you."

Four arms appeared out of thin air, grabbing the human-faced weasel's limbs from four directions and lifting her into the air.

"what?!"

The weasel with a human face struggled frantically, but apart from being able to twist its head, the rest of its body was completely immobilized by the [Undead Puppet Technique] activated by Jiang Shu after adding two points of power.

Hammer puppet, scissor puppet, spindle puppet, and hand saw puppet, like the Four Heavenly Kings, guarded Jiang Shu and firmly controlled the human-faced weasel.

"Master!" They respectfully awaited Jiang Shu's orders.

Jiang Shu sat up from the ground, bent one leg, rested his elbow on his knee, and asked with interest, propping his chin up with his hand: "You can't move right now, right? This woman is very important to you, isn't she?"

"You weren't affected?! That's impossible!" the abbot exclaimed incredulously.

"Heh, there are many things that are impossible." Jiang Shu laughed with a wicked smile: "Just like you could never know what kind of things your wife told me about Yunfu Temple, you could never know how enjoyable we were that night."

"Is what he said true?!" the abbot questioned the weasel-faced man.

"No! It's not true! Husband, let me explain!" the weasel-faced man cried out. "I accidentally let it slip, but nothing happened between him and me!"

"You've even mentioned something like this, and you still say nothing happened?!"

"Really! Really, no. I don't know what came over me, I just suddenly had a mental breakdown, but I promise I didn't do anything wrong to you!"

How can I trust you?!

"It must feel terrible to be betrayed by the person closest to you, right?" Jiang Shu suggested, "How about I help you? Just obediently die in front of me, and you won't feel so bad."

"Impossible!" The abbot sneered through gritted teeth, "You think you can kill me? You can't even break through my defenses or get close to me. But once I've recovered, I can cut you into a thousand pieces at will!"

"I see." Jiang Shu sighed regretfully, "Then there's nothing we can do."

He got up, went behind the weasel with the human face, grabbed her tail, and pulled her up forcefully.

"Who told me I'm the weak one? So when facing the strong, I can only resort to the methods of the weak."

"What...what are you going to do?!" the weasel-faced man in pain cried out in terror.

Seeing this, the abbot panicked and threatened, "I'm warning you, stay away from her, or I'll tear you to pieces once I've finished my meditation!"

"there's no way."

Jiang Shu didn't care at all. He grinned, took the hammer from the hammer puppet, and with a forceful flick, threw off the hammerhead. Then he gently tossed the hammer handle up and twirled it with a flourish.

"By the time you've finished your meditation, I'm doomed no matter where I go. So I'll just have to give you some excitement to distract you. By the way, you guessed right, I have companions on their way here. Now it's up to you whether you finish your meditation first or they get here first."

"You...you shouldn't be impulsive, let's talk this over." The abbot realized something and lowered his tone almost pleadingly.

"We just discussed it, but you didn't agree, so you can't blame me."

Jiang Shu gripped the hammer handle and said earnestly:

"If you can still calm down and concentrate on regulating your breathing even like this, then I'll consider you amazing. You can come out and kill me, and I'll accept it, okay?"

Oh, by the way, my name isn't Li Gan, it's Stimulation Superman. Whenever I feel excited, I want to be Superman.

With that, the hammer handle was thrust forward with a sudden movement.

"Do not!!!"

"Ah!! Honey, save me!!"

The loud noise awakened the Snow King, who was not far away.

She looked toward the source of the sound in a daze.

After confirming what she had seen, she began to mutter to herself in a dreamlike manner.

"Ah... am I dreaming..."

"Calamity-level skills are really powerful..."

Then he lost consciousness again.

Chapter 48 Jiang Shu's Evil Personality (Please continue reading!)

Yunfu Temple is like the Guanjiang Estuary in a parallel world.

The Great Sage, having returned from his pilgrimage, led his four disciples to flatten the mouth of the Guan River, annihilate the Grass God, and publicly toy with the Howling Celestial Dog. Meanwhile, Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, who was imprisoned under the temple, could not move and could only watch helplessly as the Howling Celestial Dog cried out for help to him.

"Stop it!!"

The abbot roared.

But it still couldn't overshadow the heart-wrenching horror of the weasel with a human face.

Jiang Shu was already used to such scenes.

As a renowned blogger, he is often invited as a special guest to couples' events, and sometimes, with the inviter's consent, he will film vlogs to record a wonderful day.

Sometimes, in order to create a sense of immersion and engagement, the invitee will put on a performance like this, staging a wonderful show.

Jiang Shu was thus forced to play the villainous role that he did not like.

For a long time, he thought he simply didn't like playing villains, but only today did he realize that it was just because he hadn't met the right mentor, or rather, he hadn't met a truly talented actor to act opposite.

That was ultimately fake, a crudely made production created on the spot just to liven things up, since the inviters were usually not professional actors.

However, a perfunctory performance without honing one's acting skills will ultimately not stand up to scrutiny, and this does not align with Jiang Shu's spirit of craftsmanship.

So when he saw the real 99% rare item, he immediately realized that it wasn't that he didn't want to be a villain, but that he had already made enough bad movies.

Fortunately, his career finally got a chance.

All the humiliation and silence he had experienced in the past had actually been forging him into a true sword in secret. As long as the right opportunity came, he would be divinely aided!

He said to the weasel with a human face:

"To be honest, he's been in seclusion for so long, it must have been very difficult for you to take care of the child alone, Madam."

"Look, the hammer handle is so slippery that it's impossible to hold it."

The weasel with the human face shook its head frantically and in a daze, spitting as it cried out, "No! That's not how it is!"

"Madam, please be quiet. Your husband is going through the most crucial turning point in his life. You don't want him to lose everything he's achieved, do you?"

Then, Jiang Shu said to the abbot:

"Look, she really seems to love you. As soon as I mention you, she immediately shuts up."

"Now you can rest assured, right? She doesn't seem like she would betray you willingly. I've already verified that for you."

Although Jiang Shu couldn't see what the abbot looked like at that moment, he could imagine his red eyes.

Jiang Shu opened his mouth and silently uttered a few words, and the sound coming from under the rubble matched his lip movements perfectly—

"I will definitely kill you!!"

"Let's talk about getting out from below first," Jiang Shu said with a disdainful smile.

Meanwhile, the Great Wilderness Heart in his hand kept sending reminders, much like the large lamp on Ultraman's chest.

[One instance of a calamity-level negative buff has been removed]

[One instance of a calamity-level negative buff has been removed]...

Endless.

Beneath the ruins, the abbot, seated cross-legged, stared with fury.

He couldn't see what was happening on the ground, but he could perceive the outlines.

It's like looking at the silhouette of the bathroom light through frosted glass.

This made him hate the imagination that he had once longed for and desired, unique to humankind, more than ever before after he transformed into a human.

What made him even more desperate was that the calamity-level skill he was so proud of, which had helped him rise from humble beginnings to his current glory, suddenly lost its effect for some unknown reason.

Dozens, even hundreds, of attacks failed.

His previously invincible methods, which had allowed him to easily overcome countless obstacles, had finally brought him to the brink of disaster. But today, he had finally encountered a mountain that he could not level.

Jiang Shu was clearly a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

At that moment, he finally realized the truth.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! The disappearance of that catastrophic hatchery was no accident. He raided it; he must have obtained even more powerful treasures inside!!"

Only magic can defeat magic. If it's not an absolute numerical value, then it can only be a higher-level skill or treasure that can withstand a calamity-level skill.

The abbot was sweating profusely as he stared at the last bit of the progress bar.

There's still a chance. Since he's only level three, there's still a chance...

As long as I manage to escape, even if my skills are useless, I can still crush them with sheer power.

However, the more he tried to calm his mind and regulate his breathing to break through the final barrier, the less he could calm down.

Not only his wife, but also the thought of Jiang Shu saying that he did indeed have companions on their way to Yunfu Temple made the abbot extremely anxious, and he became even more restless.

Of course, the possibility that Jiang Shu was bluffing cannot be ruled out, but in the current situation, he dares not gamble and can only race against time.

But that last bit of progress, which should have been a natural progression, was moving much, much slower than any bottleneck encountered during previous seclusions.

So far away.

Before anyone knew it, the abbot's collar and back were completely soaked with cold sweat.

Due to excessive tension, he lost control of his body, and some of the habits and characteristics of a weasel gradually became apparent.

When he smelled the stench he hadn't smelled in so long, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his pants.

Then, he muttered to himself with resentment.

"Damn it, is that a scent gland that hasn't been used in ages...? I thought it was urine..."

"Did they really push me to this extent...?"

He suddenly had a crazy idea—

The sublimation is thus interrupted!

Even if it is interrupted, although it cannot achieve its complete form and the power that can be used will be greatly reduced, it is already quite sufficient for the current situation.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, he began to waver.

It seems that doing this is the best option.

However, he was very unwilling to accept it.

Because the sixth level of advancement is a once-in-a-lifetime event for any evolved being. If they fail, there will be no second chance, and their potential in this life will be limited to that level.

All the hard-earned foundation and all the efforts made so far will almost entirely vanish into nothingness.
