Chapter 138: Chapter 111 Tit for Tat_2

The only condition that could be negotiated was to force the other side not to use the Possession Technique.

"Hahaha..."

The Porter sneered coldly, "Enough, let me show you that even without possession, this old man can easily slaughter you all."

As he said this, the Porter suddenly closed his eyes and fainted.

Wang Daoxuan heaved a slight sigh, then turned over his palm.

In the palm of his hand was a Yellow Talisman.

Driving the opponent away was only the first step,

This was his real goal!

Being unable to break the spell did not mean he was incapable of counterattacking.

Wang Daoxuan came before the magic platform, took out a straw man from his chest, and then manipulated the spell, placing the straw man on the magic platform.

There was something he hadn’t told everyone.

Perhaps because he had walked the path to enlightenment for so long, learning many miscellaneous skills and knowledge, the "Seven Arrows Secret Spell" was not difficult for him.

He had even made a straw man before, and it had been a success on the first try.

The straw man, more formally called a "Chu Ling," was made of thatch in ancient funeral customs. The "Ritual Records" documented: Painted carriages and Chu Ling have existed since ancient times, a practice in the art of Mingqi.

In the way of spells, you first need a target.

As in the battle of Niu Back Ridge, he sent yin soldiers to scout, Yu Lao Si was caught in the act by sensing the breath, and when he plucked the Hook Paper, he also used a talisman to capture the opponent’s breath.

Right now, the conditions for casting the "Seven Arrows Secret Spell" were sufficient.

Wang Daoxuan’s brow was tightly furrowed, his expression solemn.

The terror of such spells he had already seen in books, seemingly simple yet with astonishing lethality.

The first three spells, normal magicians can all cultivate.

Even some commoners curse by nailing little dolls, which can be counted as the first spell, though most are just venting, and it’s impossible for them to succeed.

But after the fourth spell, it becomes increasingly difficult, only those with exceptional talent could possibly cast it.

The possessing Magician, who had harmed his sect mates with skilled methods, casting this spell on him did not break the promise.

Wang Daoxuan just hadn’t expected to use it so soon.

But now, he could not afford to think too much.

Without any hesitation, Wang Daoxuan immediately pinched the spell, took a few chopsticks from the side, bit his fingertip, and smeared the blood on them.

The arrows used in the spell were related to power, but in urgent times one must do what one can, so he had to use this makeshift method.

Then, Wang Daoxuan drew a Blood Talisman on his brow, performed the Step Gang movement technique, and wrapped the vermillion red rope around the straw man.

This was called a "Tightening Ring."

The Spellcasting Altar was formed, and a burst of Yin Qi rose from the ground.

Wang Daoxuan felt as if he had fallen into ice, but still clenched his teeth and pinched the mantra, chanting, "Dark sky and hidden land, sun and moon irrelevant, formless shadow veil, shine upon all rogues, sky veils and earth veils, gods veils and ghosts veils, rogue veils befuddled, trap within my veil, seven arrows upon the head, drill the heart at daytime, swiftly as the law commands..."

Accompanied by the spell, Yin Qi rose, attaching to the chopsticks, but before it could stabilize, it dissipated instantly.

Wang Daoxuan was not discouraged, once again pinch the mantra and chanted.

At the same time, the situation outside also changed.

"Scatter!"

Zhao Kui bellowed angrily, wielding his broadsword, he chopped the snakes on the ground in two and then charged forward, bringing his sword down on Li Yan.

At this moment, the constables had also come to their senses, waving their swords to drive away the snakes and insects while regrouping and reorganizing their formation.

Only when the formation was set did they realize that in just a short period of time, more than half had died or been injured. Some had been poisoned by snakes, lying on the ground with their lives hanging in the balance, while others had completely stopped breathing.

The open ground was splattered with fresh blood, limbs scattered in disarray, torches flickering uncertainly, and the pungent smell of blood faced them.

At this moment, Li Yan had pushed Zhao Kui back.

Being surrounded and attacked by so many, even with his excellent fighting prowess, it was inevitable to be struck by several blows; combined with the splashes of blood from the slain, his whole person was drenched in a gory mess.

Damn it, ran into a scourge...

The constables looked on with terror in their eyes, cursing inwardly.

Had they known tonight would be this troublesome, they would have found a way to avoid it at any cost. Now, whether they could leave alive was the question.

Li Yan held his knife horizontally, the murderous intent in his eyes growing even thicker.

The might of the Daluo Dharma Body was now fully manifested.

For an ordinary person to fight against many, even a master of Hidden Energy would exhaust themselves after a struggle, let alone under chaotic blades, it was inevitable to get hurt.

If he did not escape, the outcome could only be death by the encircling attackers.

But he had the Daluo Dharma Body, as long as he didn’t immediately lose his life, he could fight for a long time and sooner or later would slaughter all these people!

Shush!

Lv San also leaped out from the outskirts, standing by Li Yan’s side.

He had used up his Flying Shuttle and now carried a big spear he had snatched, also with a knife wound, but the long spear in his hand was as steady as Taishan.

"Lv San, it really is you!"

Zhao Kui, upon seeing this, was not surprised but pleased.

He had lost so many men tonight, and Qiao Sanhu would definitely be furious, but if he could eliminate Lv San, he would be without fault despite his contributions.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kui glanced around and sneered, "Well then, no matter which path you belong to, killing a government officer of the court is tantamount to rebellion, and you cannot escape even to the ends of the earth!"

While he spewed his threats, he secretly made a few hand signals behind his back.

The constables instantly understood, and a few of them quietly retreated, running to a thicket behind them, and dragged out a dark object together.

Iron chains formed a net, with hidden hook blades, which was the "Ghostly Despair."

They had experience using this thing; no matter how good someone’s movement technique was, once ensnared by it, there was only one way out: death.

There was once a bladesman with Hidden Energy passing by, who, out of a sense of chivalry, tried to eliminate Qiao Sanhu for the Fengyang commoners, but in the end, they surrounded him and he died under this "Ghostly Despair."

Of course, these little movements could not be concealed from Li Yan, let alone the exceptionally hearing Lv San.

With just one look at each other, they had a plan.

This "Ghostly Despair," though fierce, had a fatal weakness; once thrown and if it failed to snare someone, retracting it was extremely difficult.

Whoosh~

Just as the two were about to make their move, the surrounding area was once again filled with the howling of the yin wind, even the torches flickered unsteadily, as if they were about to be extinguished at any moment.

The sound of horse hooves approached, and a man rode in from the distance.

Zhao Kui turned his head and immediately rejoiced, "Mr. Lu!"

The newcomer was the possessed Magician.

Since Wang Daoxuan had threatened him with the destruction of the Hook Paper, he did not dare to gamble and simply came out of his coffin prematurely to show up in person.

Just as Zhao Kui called out to him, he realized something was amiss.

By "Mr. Lu’s" side were several constables, the ones he had left to serve as protectors, but these constables looked dazed, pale as the dead, and were walking on their toes.

"Mr. Lu, they..." Zhao Kui sensed something was wrong.

However, before he could finish his words, "Mr. Lu" dismounted, waving his mourning stick up and down.

Zhao Kui and the others could not see, but Li Yan and Lv San could clearly sense that a large number of yin souls were gathering around.

Wherever "Mr. Lu" pointed his mourning stick, that constable’s body would stiffen, and afterward, their expressions gradually changed, as they were possessed by yin souls.

In a short period of time, four or five of them were affected.

This "Mr. Lu" stayed in Fengyang mainly for the Hook Paper, and now that he had a lead, why would he bother talking nonsense with Zhao Kui and his men.

"Kill him!"

The constables also realized something was wrong and were about to draw their swords and charge out.

However, something horrifying happened.

Just as they were about to move, those who were possessed suddenly leaped into action, tackling them to the ground.

These former colleagues, now possessed, displayed shocking strength, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not break free.

Those who were taken down were quickly possessed as well.

One became two, and two became four.

In just a short time, all the constables except Zhao Kui were possessed by yin souls, their eyes dull, faces pale, tippy-toeing, and emanating a cold Yin Qi.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Kui clenched his teeth and turned to run, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Brother Lv, he must not be allowed to live today!"

Lv San immediately understood and followed closely.

He didn’t know how Li Yan would handle it, but he knew that if Zhao Kui wasn’t killed, there would be endless trouble.

As for "Mr. Lu," without wasting another word, he waved his mourning stick, and all the possessed constables charged at once.

They had a dazed look but were quick in action, like zombies, moving swiftly on their toes, and pounced toward Li Yan altogether.

Bang!

Li Yan, fearless, delivered a sidekick that sent the nearest person flying, but then his expression changed and he quickly backed away.

These people, not only stronger but also indifferent to life and death, continued to rush at him even after his kick had shattered one’s chest bones.

At that moment, Wang Daoxuan finally succeeded.

He clutched a chopstick and fiercely stabbed it into a straw man.

"Ah—!"

"Mr. Lu" let out a scream, and immediately fell to the ground...
