Chapter 298: Soul-Beating Body

After Ma Tianshou and Xu Yuan returned to the city in the afternoon, Ma Tianshou went straight to the Zhan Cheng Office.

He Youxing was greatly surprised to see Ma Tianshou and concealed his displeasure quite well.

You, my lord, came secretly to Zhan Cheng without notifying me, the Zhan Cheng Lawkeeper; what does this mean?

Then He Youxing still followed Ma Tianshou's orders, deploying all the personnel of the Purification Bureau to secretly search the city for those evil spirits.

Xu Yuan considered whether to seek out Miao Yu and have the Shanhe Bureau mobilize.

But the Shanhe Bureau is a bunch of useless fools who can do nothing right and only cause trouble, so he abandoned this idea.

They searched until nightfall, yet still found nothing.

Even after seeking help from the Jianghu gangs on Guanglan Street, they found no one "conspicuous."

Xu Yuan guessed that the "attendants" brought by Wang Fei might be tamed monsters.

To deal with these monsters, Xu Yuan had prepared a move in advance.

But he dared not act rashly.

What if he was wrong?

Even if Xu Yuan guessed correctly and wiped out all those monsters in one sweep—without knowing Wang Fei's whereabouts, it would still alert the snake in the grass.

So Xu Yuan could not activate that prepared move without accurate intelligence.

Now, the news brought by the Fox Sisters has resolved all these problems.

With Ma Tianshou's single command "Move out immediately," the entire Nancheng Patrol Station sprang into action.

All the Inspectors and Captains under Xu Yuan had no rest tonight and were all on standby here.

Jia Yi, Mao Dabin, Qin Ze, Di Youzhi, and others each led their brothers and rushed out.

Ma Tianshou still took only two Preachers and Xu Yuan; the four of them moved and quietly infiltrated the Songtao Garden.

Ma Tianshou signaled Xu Yuan: Look at the Fate!

Only Xu Yuan's "Look at the Fate" could confirm whether Wang Fei's true form was currently inside the Songtao Garden.

Xu Yuan then climbed high to take a look...

Li Yichuan and Wu Chenxin immediately realized this was the skill of a Fate Cultivator!

No wonder the Commander places special emphasis on this young man!

Over in Zhengzhou, the main branches of both the Li and Wu families each maintain a Fate Cultivator.

Even a hundred years ago, the step of splitting from their families and traveling far to Southern Jiaozhi to develop was guided by a Fate Cultivator.

Although they are Fifth-Rank, in front of Xu Yuan, they could no longer put on any airs of being "elders."

Xu Yuan glanced around and found the "Fate" of a special evil spirit.

This Fate was so strange that it was especially conspicuous:

An extremely thick line, rising straight up five zhang high.

Moreover, its surface was covered with various bizarre and terrifying patterns, like a totem pole.

It also released several hundred thin black threads, like the "Pulling Thread Technique," falling to various places within the city.

The farthest few even spread out to the canal docks outside the city.

Xu Yuan then guessed: It is Ji Huaixuan.

But counting carefully, the black threads going to the canal docks numbered fully three!

Xu Yuan sighed again: Wang Fei's net is cast truly wide.

Just at one canal dock, besides Ji Huaixuan, there were actually two other fish.

Xu Yuan made a hand gesture to the Commander.

The four of them then moved together to surround the three-story wooden building where Wang Fei was located.

Xu Yuan deliberately fell a bit behind.

I, a Sixth-Rank, am not the main force.

Please, three Fifth-Rank great elders, go first!

When Ma Tianshou reached the foot of the building, he signaled the two Preachers with a look, then quietly peeled open a scroll behind him.

This scroll had two large characters written on it: "Concealment."

Beneath it was stamped a Tiger-Head Guillotine!

Xu Yuan secretly raised his thumb: Old Lord, steady!

Ma Tianshou did not intend to personally engage in combat with the evil spirit; he took a deep breath and raised his sleeve:

More than a dozen scrolls of various kinds flew out, pattering and pattering as they stuck to the old lord's body.

Things like "Nine Elephant Divine Power," "Vajra Unbreakable," "Enemies Cannot See Me," "Wind Blades and Frost Swords Cannot Harm Me," and so on, layered and piled high!

Then he gripped the Tiger-Head Guillotine with both hands and shouted loudly: "Behead the Evil Spirit!"

A burst of coquettish laughter rang out from inside the wooden building, teasing: "Old gentleman, at your age, coming to a place of romance and pleasure, I'm afraid your strength is insufficient?"

Hearing this voice in his ears, from before his eyes to within his mind, Xu Yuan saw all sorts of worldly scenes of pleasure surge up!

Immediately, various coquettish moans and low pants entered his ears.

Directly making the young body feel hot and impulsive...

Ma Tianshou had already lifted the guillotine with a "Chak" sound and shouted again: "Evil Demon! Mere sound charm, can it bewitch anyone?"

As the Tiger-Head Guillotine opened, that vast power between heaven and earth rushed straight toward the largest evil spirit present!

However, Wang Fei's "Fate" suddenly kept switching between Master Wen Bin Bin, Mr. Wen, and several others!

Making it difficult for the Tiger-Head Guillotine to accurately capture it for the moment.

Wang Fei's voice suddenly turned grim: "If charm cannot work, then we shall slaughter!"

As this word "Slaughter" left her lips, Xu Yuan suddenly felt himself plunge into a grim battlefield in an instant.

The enemy has ten thousand soldiers and a thousand horses; I stand alone!

From all four directions and eight corners, gazes filled with killing intent surrounded him.

Knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, and tridents all aimed straight for his vital points.

The various techniques of the seven major sects' cultivators were about to be unleashed upon him in succession!

Xu Yuan shivered, swiftly retreated a few steps, then ignited the fire in his abdomen, and with a "Whoosh," dispelled the chill from his heart.

Xu Yuan secretly rejoiced that he had invited Old My Lord and these reinforcements.

Otherwise, facing the Wang Fei alone... there would be absolutely no possibility of victory.

Only with Old My Lord and the Tiger Head Cleaver suppressing her could he break free from her "Sound Charm."

This was merely the Ghost Wang Fei testing her strength.

Within the Middle Third Rank, every single layer was indeed an impassable chasm.

The last time he faced the Wild Boar Fangs, it was thanks to the Barber and Old Black Dog sacrificing themselves!

Li Yichuan suddenly pulled out a thumping, beating heart and pressed it against his own chest.

This bizarre craft artifact instantly began to spread and proliferate across his body.

It transformed Li Yichuan into a muscular giant ten feet tall.

Then Li Yichuan produced another arm guard, and with a "Crack," clamped it onto his right hand.

The arm guard rapidly sprouted many special metal plates, wrapping his entire arm and turning it into a steel mechanical arm!

His hand became a tiger-head sculpture forged from iron.

The tiger's mouth opened wide, spitting out a massive sword ten feet long, shaped like a door panel.

Then with a "Whoosh," the massive sword's blade ignited with roaring flames, not at all inferior to the abdominal fire of a Fifth Rank Dan Xiu.

Li Yichuan swung the sword down, and with a "Boom," the wooden building was split cleanly in half from the middle!

As a Craft Cultivator, he understood even better the brilliance of Lin Wanmo's craft artifact!

Wu Chenxin took out a jar, and with both hands assumed a spell-casting posture.

Then, from the mouth of that dark jar, a thick hemp rope slowly rose!

The hemp rope stretched straight up to the sky, becoming a "Ladder to Heaven."

Eight "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals" climbed down the rope, obeying Wu Chenxin's command, and separately attacked Master Wen Bin Bin, Mr. Wen, and the others!

Wu Chenxin also cultivated a kind of "Magic Trick."

Relying on constantly switching between her clones, the Ghost Wang Fei rapidly transferred her power and her "Life," allowing her to evade the Tiger Head Cleaver's capture.

Now, with Li Yichuan and Wu Chenxin pinning her down, the Ghost Wang Fei was disturbed and found it difficult to switch smoothly.

But the Ghost Wang Fei was cunning; the two Preachers found it hard to truly seize her true body.

Li Yichuan slashed Mr. Wen into two large pieces, but the Ghost Wang Fei had already switched to another clone.

Ma Tianshou raised the Tiger Head Cleaver high; the cleaver's power captured this clone, yet the Ghost Wang Fei switched again, this time into Master Wen Bin Bin.

Ma Tianshou shouted: "Cut down all her clones!"

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..." the Ghost Wang Fei cooed: "This Palace has hundreds of clones within the city. How many can you few old bones kill?"

Three clones had already vaulted over the courtyard wall and jumped inside.

Li Yichuan cut down one, but three more had already replenished the count.

"They are all on their way." The Ghost Wang Fei had already switched into four clones!

The single sentence was spoken continuously from four mouths.

The faces of Ma Tianshou and the other two turned ugly, while Xu Yuan quietly pulled out his carriage bell.
