Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 25: Commanding Hundreds of Ghosts! Is Fan Daoyou Still Human?_1
The monstrous shadow let out an enraged roar, like thunder piercing straight through the eardrums.
In the inn, several ghosts close to the shadow appeared to suffer an assault from an unseen power, their ghastly faces draped in pain and despair.
Fan Wu could only watch as those unlucky ghosts were directly shattered by an invisible force, their souls scattered to the winds!
Of course, Fan Wu wasn’t worried about those few doomed ghosts.
What he truly cared about at this moment were the three words that the monster had uttered—The Great Revered One!!!
How could there possibly be a connection?
Fan Wu was completely numb!
This monstrous shadow before him was somehow related to The Great Revered One as well.
Didn’t that mean...
It was in cahoots with Xuan Shizi?
Did the shadow’s recognition of himself imply that The Great Revered One had taken interest in him?
Could it be that the followers of The Great Revered One had all received some kind of pursuit order?
The primary target of that pursuit order couldn’t possibly be him, Fan Wu, could it?
Damn it!!!
"Blasphemers of The Great Revered One... Die!!!!!"
"Thing, stay behind..."
"And the person, too!!"
The shadow’s piercing scream set all the ghosts in the inn to unrest.
Their faces contorted into horrifying, vicious smiles.
The corners of their mouths had literally split to the roots of their ears, revealing rows of sharp fangs.
The endless hostility and malice were now focused solely on him.
Even without having sensitive skin, Fan Wu knew that if he didn’t empty this place tonight...
He probably wouldn’t be able to leave.
Who would have thought that a strange event he encountered along the way, a freakish entity he stumbled upon, could be linked to The Great Revered One.
Such rotten luck!!
As for Xie Jiu behind Fan Wu, he was utterly clueless about the situation. He only knew that a casual remark from his fellow Taoist Fan had enraged the other party to the extreme.
The "Great Revered One" spoken by the shadow was also a mystery to Xie Jiu, the Little Banner Officer of the Celestial Plague Division.
However, Xie Jiu knew that he was now on the same side as Taoist Fan.
"Taoist Fan, you and I..."
But before Xie Jiu could finish his sentence, the rest got stuck in his throat.
For he suddenly realized the aura emanating from Fan Wu had transformed at that very moment.
A ferocious aura spilled out from Fan Wu, like that of a wild beast.
Xie Jiu, standing closest to Fan Wu...
Almost had his breath stop for a moment!
Xie Jiu’s eyes widened, staring at the overly towering and formidable silhouette of Fan Wu.
That’s when he realized...
This Taoist Fan from an unknown Taoist Temple was even more powerful than he had imagined!
Even though that aura wasn’t directed at him, Xie Jiu,
He still felt a chill in his spine!
...
Fan Wu didn’t care about what Xie Jiu thought.
In the reflection of the dim green candlelight, the Demon-slaying Sword in his hand radiated a chilling cold light that would strike fear into the hearts of humans and ghosts alike!
The cumbersome Daoist Robe draped over him had already been cast off by Fan Wu.
Only a layer of somewhat thin, yet fitting, inner clothing remained.
That single layer of clothing outlined his bulging muscles with absolute clarity.
A pair of calm eyes stared straight ahead at the dozens of ghosts.
There was not a trace of fear in his heart.
His robust vitality burned like a torch, and his exceptionally vigorous yang energy blazed like the sun itself, causing the restless evil spirits’ terrifying grins to stiffen on their faces.
They even displayed a hint of fear!!
"Blasphemers of The Great Revered One... Die!!!!!"
The shadow kept repeating the same phrase, but its voice was now layered like a looping cacophony.
An ineffable power weighed down on all the evil spirits within the inn.
The slight hint of fear that had emerged on the faces of the ghosts was instantly shattered.
What surfaced was a madness akin to total loss of reason!
Dozens of evil spirits, as if blind to the chilling cold light of the Demon-slaying Sword and oblivious to the robust vitality radiating from Fan Wu,
One after another...
Rushed forward in a frenzy!
Eager to shred Fan Wu to pieces!!!
[Life of the Hanged Ghost Wronged by Death: Life—110—Power—3.2—Skill: Deadly Noose Rope]
This was the evil spirit closest to Fan Wu, and it was the first to charge at him.
In the eerie green candlelight, the scene became even more chilling!
And even more terrifying to the bone!
The next second—
The flash of a sword!
The hanged ghost lunging at Fan Wu didn’t even manage to take one step within his reach before it was cleaved into two by the Demon-slaying Sword at an intricate angle.
The hanged ghost’s Life attribute was wiped clean in the blink of an eye.
It didn’t even have time to let out a scream before dissolving into spots of ghostly light, scattering into the world.
Completely obliterated!
[You have successfully slain a ’wronged hanged ghost,’ congratulations on acquiring Free Attribute Points: 0.2 point!]
Fan Wu felt that this sword strike was very effortless and the speed of his swordplay was much faster than before.
This definitely wasn’t because he had allocated points.
Because the 4 Attribute Points gained from killing Xuan Shizi had until now stayed untouched in the panel without being used by Fan Wu.
The reason why his swordsmanship was more adept than before...
Was because he had previously obtained a skill named Star Sutra Sword Technique from Xuan Shizi.
Granting him an excellent mastery of sword techniques!
Fan Wu stepped through a complex rhythm, proactively confronting the surging evil spirits!
In his eyes, these evil spirits were Attribute Points!
Since he couldn’t avoid the trouble this time...
Fan Wu decided to cut through them! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
His muscular arms, wielding the exaggeratedly long Demon-slaying Sword, transformed him into a reaper. In the blink of an eye, several more evil spirits were sliced in two!
These occurrences lasted merely two breaths, with four or five weaker evil spirits falling under Fan Wu’s sword.
Such formidable power left Xie Jiu, who was in the rear, utterly astounded!
He realized he had still underestimated Fan Wu...
With a few swift moves, he was able to kill several evil spirits without taking any damage!
What profound level of Taoist practice was this?!!
Qiulong Temple? How had he never heard of a Taoist Temple that could bring forth a Taoist Priest of such strength before?
Was it a hidden temple?
A myriad of thoughts flickered through Xie Jiu’s mind, but he wasn’t just idly watching from behind.
Unnoticed, he had already drawn two yellow talismans with red characters. Holding one talisman in each hand, his fingers formed a seal as both hands merged into one, crushing the talismans into a ball.
Xie Jiu clearly wasn’t low in Taoist cultivation, not needing to recite an extensive spell like Yang Yizi to harness the internal Mana.
He merely uttered solemnly, "Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, teach me to slay ghosts!"
The next instant—
The ball of talismans he held burst forth with a blinding golden light, a beam of golden light shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring, piercing through two evil spirits in the blink of an eye.
The two evil spirits cried out miserably, pinned against the inn’s wall by the golden light.
They struggled only symbolically.
Then turned into wisps of blue smoke.
And disappeared.
The ghost-slaying prowess of Xie Jiu was not to be underestimated.
After all, he was a Little Banner Officer of the Imperial Heaven Directorate, and even as a small banner, he already counted as a junior executive there.
Why did he, a Little Banner Officer, not take his subordinates with him on this trip?
Maybe because the Imperial Heaven Directorate needed to transport something very special.
They needed to conceal it from prying eyes.
They needed a low profile.
Unfortunately...
It seemed useless.
This time, Xie Jiu had still encountered a robbery. And those robbing him were not humans, but ghosts!
Moreover, the number of these ghosts...
Was enough to make his scalp tingle!
"Too many..." Xie Jiu took a breath, already going all out and swiftly vanquishing a number of powerful evil spirits, but the efficiency still felt too low.
Moreover, with the constant consumption of internal Mana, the cold sweat on his forehead became more abundant.
And his physical strength was rapidly depleting.
"I wonder how Taoist friend Fan is doing... Hiss!!" Just as Xie Jiu gathered Mana for a palm strike to fend off a pouncing evil spirit, he took a moment to glance at Fan Wu’s situation.
The result of that look...
Made him gasp in shock!
Eyes wide as saucers!
"Is he... really human?"
Xie Jiu was so stunned that for a moment, his brain almost malfunctioned.
...
