Five Filth Gods

Chapter 23: Five Filth Gods

The room's mutation was already terrifying enough.

What was even more horrifying was that five monstrous, deformed beings stood around them.

These five creatures were all short, cloaked in black robes, and their bodies below the neck appeared normal. The difference lay in what topped their necks.

One had no bones or flesh, just a flapping skin sac for a head.

Another's head was split in two, like human lungs, constantly oozing black oil.

A third had two holes for a head, resembling a giant nose. Its dark nostrils pointed forward, nasal hairs mixed with snot.

The Nose Head Wraith formed a hand seal, looking like it was about to unleash a powerful move, but Shi Ji slit its throat.

The Lung Head Wraith spewed black oil at Wu Xian. Wu Xian flipped a table to block the oil, then pierced it with his copper coin spear, sending it flying.

He discarded the Boy's Urine Ankang, leaped up, and fiercely attacked the evil spirit. This wasn't a death throe, but a path chosen for the highest chance of victory based on his assessment of his own abilities.

Ching!

Guided by an unseen force, the Copper Coin Sword suddenly grew longer, its six blades becoming twelve!

Could that thing still be called a Copper Coin Sword?

This Copper Coin Sword was now a spear, over two meters long, radiating scorching heat. Just three or four blades would be enough to kill a Wandering Wraith.

The last Skin Head Wraith tried to flatten its body and escape through the room, but Wu Xian and Shi Ji dragged it back, using its skin to wipe the filth from their weapons...

Besides the Copper Coin Sword and the True Fire Incantation, Wu Xian had two other talismans.

What followed was a massacre of evil spirits by humans.

"Hey, how long are you going to be mesmerized? Wake up, damn it!"

They weren't just Wu Xian to be wary of.

Now that Wu Xian had intimidated the spirits, the evil spirit with a pile of intestines on its neck approached him from behind, a golden opportunity!

These five creatures were the Five Filth Gods!

Human filth rots the flesh, Ghosts feast on bone and blood.

So...

These five strange beings hummed in unison. Wu Xian listened carefully and recognized their chant.

This was skin!

"He's awake, he's awake!"

From above and to the side, Wu Xian could see that the headless evil spirit wasn't truly headless.

Where its neck should have been, above its collarbone, a large mouth had grown, lined with neat human teeth. A plump tongue covered in a thick coating could be seen constantly licking inside.

The Copper Coin Sword flashed red. Three layers of copper coins disappeared, and the headless wraith's body collapsed powerlessly.

Wu Xian flicked his middle finger twice, using the Double Activation Technique twice!

They had been in the room since nightfall, but Wu Xian and Shi Ji had never noticed. They had been toyed with, but if not for this tachi...

After the headless wraith died, the unbearable stench of bad breath that had been present disappeared.

The Five Filth Gods' domain: Skin, Mouth, Lung, Nose, Intestine.

Shi Ji's tooth had been knocked out by the Boy's Urine Ankang, and he finally came to. But the situation had been too dangerous, so he had been crouching on the ground, waiting for a chance to counterattack.

Realizing they couldn't escape easily, they united to fight back. However, against Wu Xian and Shi Ji, they no longer held any advantage.

But now that two were gone, they were just ordinary Wandering Wraiths!

They weren't afraid of Wu Xian, but of the heaven-defying Copper Coin Sword in Wu Xian's hand!

The floor, ceiling, and walls mutated simultaneously. Everything twisted, and yellow-white, flaky substances probed from the distortions. These substances gradually unified in color, clearly showing blood vessels and faint body hair.

Weapons and items obtained by a Favored One through worship could not be lent to others. What Wu Xian could use was merely the filth inherent to this Precious Blade itself.

However, Wu Xian's movement froze mid-air.

The monsters spoke to each other, then stepped forward in unison. The invisible pressure surged again.

Weapons imbued with filth possessed a certain effect of breaking enchantments.

It was a pity Wu Xian couldn't use this blade.

But this was only the first effect of the Long Talisman.

One was the Long Talisman, which could be attached to an object to increase its length.

And the filth on this Boy's Urine Ankang was so potent that even evil spirits' abilities wouldn't dare touch it, giving Wu Xian a chance to regain his senses.

Shi Ji's eyes glowed red as he thrust upwards from his crouched position.

The last one had nothing on its head, yet it looked even more bizarre than the others.

Another was the Double Activation Technique, usable twice, each time doubling the number of activations for the next non-inherent talisman used!

These two talismans were carefully chosen by Wu Xian and kept unused until now, when they would finally show their effect!

Wu Xian's eyes filled with killing intent. If he killed the remaining four, he might feel a bit cleaner!

"Who's next?"

Facing this desperate situation.

Another had a head coiled like a snake, that snake-like thing being intestines, still dripping with yellow intestinal fat...

Let alone the four of them, even ten wouldn't be enough for this Copper Coin Sword to slay!

The Four Filth Gods, slowly retreating, didn't notice.

The Five Filth Gods were at their strongest when united, able to warp reality, block senses, and destroy a person's will through their abilities.

His wrists and ankles were bound by scarlet intestines, the foul-smelling intestinal fluid soaking through his clothes.

Living skin!

Five pieces of skin, warped from the room, coiled in from different directions. From afar, it looked like a flower bud about to close.

All four evil spirits recoiled in horror.

Then, flicking his index finger, he cast 'Long Talisman' at the Copper Coin Sword again. With two Double Activation Techniques stacked, the number of activations for Long Talisman was...

"Heh."

But it wasn't over yet.

The long blade pierced into the evil spirit from three inches below its tailbone, xuyên through its chest, and severed its large intestine head!

Now only the Three Filths remained of the Five Filth Gods!

The three spirits shuddered.

The second time, the sword blades became twenty-four!

The third time, the sword blades became forty-eight!

The fourth time, the Copper Coin Sword's blades numbered ninety-six!

The suddenly elongated Copper Coin Sword fiercely pierced the defenseless headless spirit's body. The smile on the mouth that occupied its entire neck abruptly vanished.

Wu Xian didn't give up.

"Let him sleep, then let him enter the realm!"

And Wu Xian himself didn't stop for nothing.

Four!

The Copper Coin Sword would grow four more times!

Wu Xian spun around and hurled the Boy's Urine Ankang, smashing it into Shi Ji's face.

Wu Xian struggled to stand. The more these evil spirits exerted themselves, the more pain he felt, but he didn't fall into illusion again.

Wu Xian himself pulled out the Copper Coin Sword, now with only six blades, and leaped forward, stabbing towards the headless monster at the very front.

Once this flower bud closed, Wu Xian would be finished!

The five evil spirits watched in unison, waiting for Wu Xian to be enveloped by the skin, his life essence flowing into each evil spirit's body through those skins.

Yet, even facing such a crisis, the Copper Coin Sword in Wu Xian's hand still pointed at the headless evil spirit's chest.

The Five Filth Gods, who had wreaked havoc in the Blessed Land and caused countless human deaths, were thus destroyed by Wu and Shi.

Regarding the Five Filth Gods, I originally intended to make it more graphic, with snot, sweat, shit, urine, and farts. But later I thought it was too disgusting, and I felt uncomfortable writing it, so I changed it to nose, mouth, lungs, skin, and intestines.
