Chapter 103: Kicked Away With One Kick (First Update)

Lu Zhengyan still thought that Young Master Xu was preventing him from coming over because he feared dragging Lu to his death, so he did not heed Young Master Xu's advice; he still dragged his great blade and rushed forward at high speed, only to suddenly have a boulder the size of a mountain appear before him!

Old Lu, unable to stop, slammed into it with a boom.

He was bounced out, landing on his backside on the ground, his head buzzing!

His eyes lost focus: What happened?

My Lord Qin was still flying in the sky, acting with arrogant abandon, hoping in his heart that Snake Pole would quickly kill Xu Yuan and come to help him.

Controlling such a craft was not easy; the heavily injured My Lord Qin was about to collapse.

Suddenly, a boulder emerged from the ground, fully thirty zhang square.

My Lord Qin was stunned, not knowing what had happened, but he felt... this did not seem like Snake Pole's trickery.

A sense of ill omen rose in his heart, yet he still believed that such a powerful head-monster as Snake Pole should not fall to the hands of a newcomer like Xu Yuan.

Until Xu Yuan took Aunt Wang's spleen, the giant rock crashed and scattered with a boom, vanishing completely into nothingness, leaving only Xu Yuan standing in place, nine Snake Poles turned into nine flattened snake skins covered in filthy blood and minced meat—only then did My Lord Qin react, turning his head without hesitation to fly toward the Ghost Temple!

Once inside the Ghost Temple, he could save his life, and the mission could continue.

The ten-zhang skin-man grabbed a boulder and threw it with all his might.

With a whoosh, the boulder swept past beneath My Lord Qin.

My Lord Qin urgently flapped his wings to climb, but the boulder struck his two feet, instantly shattering them into mush!

"Ah—"

My Lord Qin screamed in agony, his body swaying as he fell several zhang.

The ten-zhang skin-man suddenly leaped up, soaring dozens of zhang into the high sky, spreading his large hands to grab My Lord Qin's legs.

Countless locusts buzzed over, colliding continuously against the ten-zhang skin-man.

They forcibly knocked the ten-zhang skin-man, who had no leverage in the air, off course, causing him to miss My Lord Qin.

The Locust Hag's eyes flashed with fierce light as she shouted sternly: "Time to fight to the death! Haikou Toad, will you not appear yet?"

Xu Yuan was on guard, but the surroundings were perfectly calm; Haikou Toad was still nowhere to be seen.

Having dodged the ten-zhang skin-man's grab, My Lord Qin folded the refined iron wings behind him and, like a diving hawk, plunged straight toward the temple gate.

The temple gate opened, ready to welcome My Lord Qin inside.

Lu Zhengyan had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow, firing a continuous volley of five arrows at My Lord Qin with a series of swooshes.

Xu Yuan flicked two fingers; the sword pill shot away instantly, seeking the wounds on My Lord Qin's body to drill inside!

Suddenly, the Ghost Temple vanished from its spot.

It immediately reappeared in mid-air, directly covering My Lord Qin!

But without the Ghost Temple's restraint, Seeing Fu Jingyu and Old Yan's head-guillotine fell, and with a crack, they beheaded the young boy!

Xu Yuan's sword pill and Lu Zhengyan's continuous volley of arrows all struck the Ghost Temple.

The five arrows vanished without a trace.

Xu Yuan also felt that his sword pill, upon piercing the Ghost Temple, became stuck, as a strange power sucked and pulled—it was as if an invisible giant mouth intended to swallow the sword pill whole!

Unlike the "bait" of cultivators, this was a devouring from evil spirits, a pollution, corrosion, and assimilation!

Xu Yuan exerted all his strength to control a retreat.

At the same time, he suddenly understood: the so-called "those outside cannot enter, those inside cannot leave" of the Ghost Temple had actually been mastered by this evil spirit into a fluid transformation!

This further produced such a trickery of "devouring everything."

Xu Yuan then opened his mouth:

Pfft—

A newly refined golden pill flew out.

The golden pill was infused with a large amount of inner core characteristics.

You like to eat, so here, eat it!

The golden pill spun directly toward the Ghost Temple, but it collided solidly with the wall and was bounced back with a bang.

The heavy golden pill did not even leave a single dent on the wall.

"Eh?" Xu Yuan was surprised; this evil spirit seemed able to see through the inner nature of the golden pill?

But since the wall had become hard, it was no longer about devouring, but had become "those outside cannot enter."

Xu Yuan gently retracted, and the sword pill whooshed free from the Ghost Temple and flew back.

Xu Yuan's mind raced, thinking of methods to deal with this monster, when suddenly a little girl appeared at his feet.

With two round red cheeks painted on, her small face deathly pale, she looked up innocently at Xu Yuan and said: "Can you play with me?"

Her two eyes were rotten, with several white maggots sliding out of her eye sockets; she quickly swept her scarlet, snake-fork-like tongue, rolled it into her mouth, and chewed it up.

Seeing Fu Jingyu and Old Yan were shocked. Old Yan shouted: "You go help him; I will hold this side for now!"

Old Yan raised the knife handle with both hands, and Seeing Fu Jingyu prepared to let go and rush to support Xu Yuan.

Seeing Fu Jingyu's Maoshan method contained many techniques targeting evil spirits like young boys and girls.

Previously, the little ghost girl had exhausted every possible means to pull Young Master Fu into her game, but Seeing Fu Jingyu had countered each one.

The little ghost girl then went to pull Old Yan.

But Old Yan calculated extremely quickly, always able to find the little ghost girl's position and dodge in advance every time.

The young girl's trickery could not be unleashed.

Furthermore, young boys and girls themselves feared the national dynasty's suppression artifacts, which is why Seeing Fu Jingyu and Old Yan were able to withstand the young boy and girl simultaneously while also restraining the Ghost Temple.

As a result, the little ghost girl saw that these two were too difficult to handle, so she quietly vanished, and taking advantage of the moment Xu Yuan retracted his sword pill, she crawled to his feet.

Once this question is asked to a target, the target cannot refuse.

If they refuse, the little ghost girl can scold them as "not a good thing," and then, just as she swallowed Tang Yue, swallow the target like a snake.

If they do not refuse... the outcome will only be worse.

But Xu Yuan felt sick looking at her!

The "Nothing Is Taboo" destiny activated, drastically increasing resistance to诡技.

Xu Yuan kicked out, the fire wheel spun, and with a bang, he sent the little girl ghost flying!

The girl let out a piercing scream, her body engulfed in "Fu Zhong Huo," arcing through the air like a ball—luckily, she crashed straight into the ghost temple's gate.

Boom!

The "Fu Zhong Huo" on the girl exploded, instantly engulfing half the ghost temple.

Yet these Fu Zhong Huo flames vanished after only a moment, for no reason at all!

Swallowed whole by the ghost temple!

Fu Zhong Huo suppresses evil spirits, but it depends on the relative strength of both sides.

This amount of Fu Zhong Huo was extinguished the moment the ghost temple swallowed it.

The girl slammed hard onto the ground, let out a howl, then feared Xu Yuan immensely, crawling away like a bug.

Fu Jingyu and Yan Lao exhaled in relief, then raised the Dog-Head Guillotine toward the ghost temple.

The ghost temple was pulled by a tremendous force, swaying wildly in midair.

As if sensing it couldn't fight the Dog-Head Guillotine well in the air, the ghost temple silently descended and took root in the earth.

The ten-zhang skin giant charged forward and swung both fists at the ghost temple!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

He pounded relentlessly—but the ghost temple remained unharmed.

Xu Yuan nodded: no wonder it was called "Nothing From Outside Can Get In"—this defense was indeed formidable.

After taking root, the ghost temple stood locked in stalemate with the Dog-Head Guillotine.

Yan Lao's fingers flickered rapidly as he calculated: this place was Ghost Wushan, a land beyond the state's reach, so the imperial suppression artifacts here had their power weakened—he felt his heart sink.
