Chapter 63: Man and Beast
These are legends about foxes. Most foxes in the legends are good at charm, but a very few are good at a very terrifying talent of soul-devouring.
The nine-tailed fox was one of them. It devoured Daji's soul and took over her body to confuse King Zhou. From then on, whenever a person in the metaphysics world encountered a fox with the talent of devouring souls, they would either stay away from it or kill it.
"You evil creature, you are just occupying a skin, why are you pretending to be a wolf here!" I sneered at the thought. I also had a guess in my mind. Whether it can be used depends on the final effect.
Zhao Decang still looked calm and composed: "You really interest me. I wonder if you will surprise me even more when I devour your soul later."
Zhao Decang's figure suddenly became illusory and instantly transformed into nine figures.
These nine figures kept rotating around the Three Talents Formation, constantly changing their positions.
"Oh no, this evil creature is using a trick, I can't confirm his true identity. Wang Gongsheng, if you don't come out, I will curse you!" Gao Qiyun suddenly felt the pressure doubled. He opened his mouth and shouted.
When I heard that reinforcements were coming, I felt a little relieved. But my eyes were only focused on Zhao Decang's steps.
"Yo!" As soon as Gao Qiyun finished speaking, Zhao Decang suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted loudly. Nine figures suddenly rushed into the Three Talents Formation.
I was startled, and I swept the ghost-beating ruler horizontally, and threw out a blank talisman with my left hand, silently chanting the transformation spell.
"All things have spirits, the five elements are the origin, they are flexible and changeable. The hen is the symbol, hurry up and obey the command!"
The talisman in the air suddenly turned into a half-grown hen, which fell to the ground with its wings fluttering and clucking.
But I didn't expect that Zhao Decang ignored me at all. Nine figures rushed directly towards Wu Zhidao.
I was shocked. All the preparations were made by Zhao Decang against me. It was too late to help Wu Zhidao when things suddenly turned around.
Just when I was almost in despair, a loud shout came from my ears: "How dare you, you beast!"
At the bottom of the stairs, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. It was the middle-aged man who was holding the plate just now.
This middle-aged man has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks a bit like Zhang Fei. I guess this is the Wang Gongfeng mentioned by Gao Qiyun!
Wang Gongsheng, stepping on the Seven Star Steps and manipulating the magic finger, his face flushed red. The next move must be a big move.
Just when everyone opened their eyes and wanted to see what was going on, Wang Gongfeng suddenly shouted in surprise: "Hey, what's going on?"
Following Wang Gongsheng's gaze, everyone was once again struck by lightning, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Just as the nine figures transformed by Zhao Decang were about to touch Wang Gongfeng, one of them suddenly turned around and rushed towards the hen on the ground.
The figure pounced directly on the hen and rolled on the ground. In less than a moment, the hen transformed by the yellow talisman had been torn into countless pieces.
"Yo!" Zhao Decang was extremely angry after finding out that he had been deceived. His face was distorted beyond human form and he howled into the sky.
I couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Evil animals are evil animals. As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit, and a fox will always steal chickens. It's really their nature."
"I want you to die!" Zhao Decang roared while gritting his teeth, and led the other eight figures to attack me together.
I calmed myself down and just stood there with the ruler in hand.
Zhao Decang was obviously confused by my actions. Normally, when faced with an attack, shouldn't we retreat or counterattack? Why was I just standing there waiting for him to come over?
Foxes are cunning and suspicious. Seeing that I didn't move, they immediately paused.
It was this brief pause that allowed me to find Zhao Decang's weakness. I picked up the ghost-beating ruler and rushed directly towards one of the figures.
Papapapapa! I slapped him over and over again. The figure was forced to retreat again and again.
Everyone was stunned. The nine figures could be said to be stand-ins, or they could be said to be real. It was originally a very difficult situation, but now I was just chasing one and beating up the others, who looked dumbfounded like puppets.
This is too dramatic! Everyone just wanted to laugh, but the current situation made it impossible to laugh. Everyone's face was full of excitement.
"Enough!" Zhao Decang was so frustrated after being beaten that he roared, turned his hands into claws, and did a 360-degree turn.
I took back the ghost-beating ruler and returned to the stairs with a quick step to stand next to Wang Gongfeng.
"Oh, I didn't expect that! This kid is quite capable." Wang Gongsheng nodded at me approvingly.
"I want your life!" Zhao Decang finally controlled the nine figures again, two of them entangled Wang Gongfeng, and the rest all rushed towards me.
With the experience of the first time, I was even less nervous this time. With the ghost-beating ruler in hand, the water and fire spells covered it. With a flickering light, it hit the same figure hard again.
"Ouch! Ouch! Bang, bang, bang!"
Because of the blessing of water and fire magic, every strike of the Ghost-beating Ruler carries the power of water and fire, producing a strong explosive effect.
This round of beatings all over the face, even though Zhao Decang was thick-skinned, he still grimaced and cried out in pain.
Everyone was petrified. The first time was a coincidence! Then was the second time also a coincidence?
"Oh my! Master Ni is really amazing."
"That's right. Don't you see what the Dongmen Metaphysics Society is like now?"
"You said that Zhao Decang is at the level of a master, so why is he always beaten to the point of crying for his parents?"
"You are so stupid, Zhao Decang is a fake master. He has become a beast by relying on wild beasts! Between man and beast, is there any suspense? He is destined to be killed!"
This person must have watched too many blockbuster movies!
"Ah!" Zhao Decang was on the verge of collapse. Regardless of anything, he stood up straight and asked sternly: "What's going on? Why can you hit me every time!"
I put away the ghost-beating ruler and retreated to the side of Wang Gongfeng. As long as he was there, Zhao Decang could only transform into nine figures to attack.
Although I despised Zhao Decang's doubts, I still spoke out.
"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? You didn't pay attention when you were chewing the hen. There are still fragments of the yellow talisman in the corners of your mouth. Who else should I hit if not you?"
Zhao Decang was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch it, and sure enough, there was a piece of paper stuck at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahahaha! You're the idiot! You actually told me that? Then go to hell!"
I curled my lips in disbelief and raised the demon-beating ruler in my hand lightly.
Zhao Decang's steps suddenly stopped. He stared at me with doubtful eyes. I guess he was scared after being beaten!
"Hahahaha!" Wang Gongsheng actually sat aside with his arms folded, completely like watching a show.
Just as I was staring intently at Zhao Decang's actions, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind me, like the sound of footsteps stepping into the water.
Suddenly, the sky and the earth became bright. A beam of light as thick as a finger shot down from the sky and rushed into Wu Zhidao's forehead.
I laughed ! Wu Zhidao's Master Banquet was here. This meant that the journey had come to a perfect end.
“At the end of the world, all living things will be annihilated. Only I, the true God, will live forever in the world. Believe in me, the true God, and you will have eternal life~~~~!”
Zhao Decang's eyes suddenly became blurry, and he knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly. Around him, a dozen men in black quickly gathered and knelt on the ground in unison! They stood up and shouted, "Welcome the true God, and destroy everything!"
"Bah, a bunch of cult bastards are here to act like birds of a feather!" Wu Zhidao walked down the stairs in high spirits, patted my shoulder lightly, and said with a look of contempt.
"Congratulations, Brother Wu." Seeing a ball of purple air constantly surrounding Wu Zhidao's forehead, it was obvious that the gift just now was very generous.
"Good brother! Haha." Wu Zhidao smiled and patted my shoulders twice again.
I immediately felt a cool breeze flowing into my shoulders, and my whole body felt refreshed.
"Thank you!" I looked at Wu Zhidao gratefully and sat down cross-legged. This power was forcibly injected into my body by Wu Zhidao. It was not a gift from heaven. It will not stay in my body for too long. I must hurry up to digest and comprehend it.
"Haha, brother, these bastards are so shameless to bully a junior like you. I don't have anything else to give you. I'll just let you watch a good show. You better watch it carefully."
As he said this, Wu Zhidao reached into his bosom, took out a jade ruyi, and raised it to the sky.
Only then did I understand why the Five Elements Killing Formation had not been activated yet. It turned out that the core of the formation was always in Wu Zhidao's hands.
Under the sunlight, the jade ruyi emits a milky white light.
Boom, the ground shook. The air around suddenly became oppressive at this moment. The surrounding mountains, symbolizing the four positions, also lit up with rays of light at the same time, like sharp swords.
These lights quickly gathered in the air and turned into a cage in an instant, covering Zhao Decang and his men. If they hadn't wanted to capture them alive, I'm afraid that this group of people would have turned into a pile of meat paste in an instant.
"Hahahaha! What a great Five Elements Killing Formation! The Metaphysics Society has chosen a good cemetery for itself!"
Just when everyone thought the storm had calmed down, a man in a black robe suddenly walked out of the crowd. He held a gold-plated flag in his hand, which kept flashing brightly in the sun. He really looked like an immortal.
"Greetings, Lord Zuo Shenservant." Zhao Decang, who was controlled by the Five Elements Killing Formation, immediately showed joy when he saw the visitor.
"Well, you little fox did a good job. If this Five Elements Killing Formation hadn't come out, this divine servant really wouldn't dare to show up."
The left servant had a face full of wrinkles, but when he smiled he looked like a chrysanthemum, with his features appearing even more distinct.
Wu Zhidao also looked serious at this time. He held the jade ruyi, but it was difficult to get away. The only one left was Wang Gongfeng, who was still idle. At this moment, he finally stood up and walked forward slowly. Obviously, Wang Gongfeng was not relaxed either. Wang Gongfeng had a serious expression. I could even see Wang Gongfeng's mouth twitching unconsciously when he passed by.
