Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 28: A Flesh Body Like a Demon and Devil! A Sword Striking Through the Air!_1
The vast Ghost Inn compressed into a pile of rubble right before everyone’s eyes.
Clouds of dust rose several yards high as splintered wood flew in all directions, scaring the Escort Masters into ducking low to avoid being hit.
A plank whizzed past Lin, the head of escorts, barely missing the top of his head.
He felt cold sweat break out on his forehead!
Had he raised his head a little higher, he probably would have lost half of it.
Looking at the massive heap of rubble that had fallen from the inn...
Lin swallowed hard.
He had seen all sorts of scenes in his life, but he had never witnessed such a grand event.
This left him muttering in shock, "If I had led a group of brothers inside, we probably would have become a pile of minced meat by now, wouldn’t we?"
He couldn’t help shivering, thinking the strange creature he encountered tonight was way too fierce!
Even the most skilled warriors in the Jianghu...
Would probably not be able to withstand it!
"It’s over..." Just then, Xie Jiu, who was not far from Lin, wore an expression of teeth-gritting regret, "Never did I expect that I, a Little Banner Officer of the Mandate of Heaven Agency, would be so helpless against a strange creature..."
He took a deep breath and then immediately shouted at Lin, "Don’t just stand there! Get your men to take the goods and leave, I’ll cover the rear! That creature is bound to come out, and when it does..."
He couldn’t finish his sentence.
A shrill and chaotic screech burst through the sky, filled with malevolence and turmoil!
The rest of Xie Jiu’s words were stuck in his throat.
They saw...
A vast dark shadow emerge from the rubble of the inn.
Those crimson eyes scattered all over its body, the atmosphere of ill omen and death looming over everyone’s heart!
Dense Yin Energy spilled out from the grotesque shadow.
Even from a dozen steps away, it felt like falling into an ice cave!
The escorts of the Tiger’s Might Escort Bureau gasped in unison!
This was their first time...
Seeing such a terrifying creature!
And at such close range!
Some of the younger escorts had never encountered a strange creature before!
"Is... Is such a monster really something that can be dealt with by human strength?" one of the escorts stammered, his voice shaking as he gripped the white wax spear tightly in his hand, his palm turning white from too much force.
"Head... What do we do?" Some escorts looked to Lin for guidance, believing the experienced escort head must have a way to deal with this situation.
Lin was at a loss for words.
He too wanted to follow the orders of Xie Jiu, the Mandate of Heaven Agency official, and run away with the goods as quickly as possible.
But they were inside the creature’s illusion...
How could he know how to get out?
As for his own men, asking what to do now?
In his life, he had encountered no more than five ghosts and monsters, and those were merely sightings without any confrontation.
How could he know how to handle this situation?
From the anxious demeanor of the official from the Mandate of Heaven Agency, one could tell... The official was probably unable to cope with that horrific creature himself!
Could it be that today they were going to perish here?
In Lin’s heart...
Pessimism reigned!
...
Suddenly!
An unexpected event occurred!
The gigantic creature, its body covered with dense crimson eyes, appeared as if it was suddenly dragged by someone; it lifted off the ground!
In the next moment!
The grotesque shadow was flung aside like a broken sack toward the forest, crashing into and snapping a large tree in half with its girth!
The dusty rubble where the inn had stood revealed a tall and burly figure, vaguely visible.
Standing still like a pagoda... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Rooted in that spot!
The dust around the remains of the inn was dispersed by the whistling Yin wind.
With the help of the moonlight, people could see that Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple...
Was standing unharmed atop the debris of the inn!
"It’s... It’s that Taoist Priest!" An escort exclaimed, utterly astonished, "Was he... inside the inn just now? But how does he look completely unscathed?!"
Escort Master Lin slapped his hand atop his head, lowering his voice anxiously, "Don’t you holler like that! If you attract that devilish creature, will you be the one to face it?!"
Escort Master Lin also cast his gaze towards the ruins where Fan Wu was, and with his years of experience roaming the martial world, he "saw" much more!
From Fan Wu’s body, he felt a presence like that of a wild beast!
That presence sent his heart racing!!
"This Taoist Priest is so robust... Is he really a cultivator? Even the fierce generals in the army don’t have such an exaggerated physique, do they?"
Seeing the muscles on Fan Wu’s body carved like those by a master sculptor, Escort Master Lin murmured in shock, "If he landed a punch on me, I’m afraid it would turn my head into smithereens, wouldn’t it?"
Escort Master Lin shivered with cold!
Indeed, the devilish creature was terrifying.
But this Daoist Priest Fan...
Was also horrifying!
At his side, Xie Jiu’s expression wasn’t much different from Escort Master Lin’s.
He hadn’t expected Fan Wu to still be alive.
What was more unexpected was that there wasn’t a single wound on Fan Wu’s body!
Xie Jiu, as a Little Banner Officer in the Imperial Heaven Authority, had seen many people with unusual abilities, but he had never seen someone like Fan Wu, with a body as devilish as Demons and Devils.
In the common understanding of most people, there is a limit to the human physique.
Even if one used certain Cultivation Techniques to temper the body, there were limits.
But.
Where was the limit of this Daoist Fan Wu’s physical body?
"That strange shadowy creature flew out inexplicably earlier, could it have been flung out by Daoist Fan?" At the thought of this possibility, Xie Jiu’s eyes widened even more.
What kind of monstrous strength was this?
...
Meanwhile.
Fan Wu pulled the Demon-slaying Sword out from the debris, its blade as impeccably new and shiny as ever, the chill it emitted was undiminished, even seemingly more piercing!
Having been compressed and squashed by an entire inn was indeed one of the most exaggerated scenes Fan Wu had ever experienced.
But...
The power seemed to be just that much.
He only felt like he had been forced to undergo a full-body massage, not a single inch of skin brought him any pain, nor did any muscle send a sensation of discomfort.
Fan Wu carried the Demon-slaying Sword.
He took a step out!
His agile figure surged like a dragon descending the mountain!!
The strange shadow that had been flung out before crawled back up, seemingly completely unaware of the vast difference in strength between them now, or utterly devoid of any "fear" or tendency to shrink back.
The shadow opened its enormous body like a black curtain studded with red pupils, attempting to envelop Fan Wu entirely within it!
However, Fan Wu stopped when he was still five steps away from it.
Fan Wu stared directly at the shrieking shadow as it rushed towards him.
His arm muscles were already violently trembling.
The Demon-slaying Sword in his hand seemed to vibrate excitedly as well, emitting a series of barely audible whistling sounds.
The muscles in his arms swelled an entire circle, and the blue veins, more frightening like coiled tree roots, appeared.
At this moment, every muscle in his body was activated.
His feet had already assumed a stance.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes!
He pivoted his feet!
This movement triggered the muscles and sinews of his thighs! It activated the muscles and sinews of his waist! It stirred the muscles and sinews of his arms!
A sword strike!
Slashed through the air!!!
The sword blade ripped through the air with a piercing blast. Although Fan Wu’s sword seemed to cut through nothing but air, he felt an unprecedented resistance, as if something were preventing his blade from descending.
But...
Clearly, his strength still held the upper hand.
From above, the Demon-slaying Sword’s blade traced a semicircular arc, as the terrifying wind pressure swept out downwards!
To the naked eye, all that could be seen was a crescent wave of energy, a flash that streaked by in the blink of an eye!!
Boom!!!!!!
