Looking at the corpse he had split in two.
Qin Yang finally emerged from that frenzied state.
"Did he seem to say something just now?"
"Forget it. Maybe I misheard."
Qin Yang crouched down and searched Zhao Jiu's two severed halves.
He actually found a secret manual.
"Primordial Qi Shield."
At the sight of this manual, Qin Yang was overjoyed.
After all, Zhao Jiu might not have carried the manual on him.
There had been an element of gambling in Qin Yang coming here tonight.
But judging by the result, everything had gone perfectly.
Just then.
Qin Yang heard faint footsteps again.
"Someone else is coming?"
"This guy was pretty popular."
Qin Yang put away the Primordial Qi Shield manual and raised his head.
The footsteps drew closer.
Two wanderers entered the main hall of the Broken Temple.
"You're too late."
"Zhao Jiu was butchered by me. Go back."
Qin Yang stood up and slung the Great Chopper back over his shoulder.
The two wanderers glanced at the corpse on the ground and froze slightly.
"What remarkable skill, brother." One wanderer exclaimed in admiration.
"If only we had skills as good as yours." The other wanderer sighed with feeling as well.
"Just keep practicing."
Qin Yang shook his head slightly, but then he inadvertently caught sight of a wanderer's corpse nearby, and his pupils instantly widened.
This corpse looked exactly like one of the wanderers standing before him!
For a moment.
Qin Yang's scalp crawled.
He swiftly looked toward the other corpse.
"Impossible!!!"
Panic filled Qin Yang's eyes.
Exactly alike!
These two corpses... were the two wanderers standing at the entrance of the main hall!
Two dead people had actually appeared before him!
Qin Yang had no idea how to explain what was happening before his eyes.
"Hero, why have you suddenly stopped talking?!"
One of the wanderers was greatly puzzled when he saw Qin Yang standing there in a daze.
"Hero, are you all right?"
The other wanderer tried to approach Qin Yang, seemingly wanting to see what was wrong with him.
"Don't come any closer!"
Qin Yang was extremely tense. Seeing the wanderer approach, he abruptly drew the Great Chopper.
"Hero, we mean you no harm."
"We truly mean no harm!"
The two wanderers hurriedly explained.
Yet Qin Yang clearly saw blood continuously dripping from their eyes, while their skin was deathly pale—the pallor of corpses.
If that counted as having no ill intent, then ghosts truly did exist.
"I don't care what kind of ghostly thing you are!"
Qin Yang growled, his scarlet eyes like those of a maddened beast.
No matter what they were, anything that wanted his life had to die!
Roar!
The Great Chopper slashed out wildly, stirring up a fierce gale!
The entire Broken Temple seemed to billow with raging wind.
Po Jun · Great Wind Stance.
This was the fastest strike in the Po Jun Saber Technique!
The blade whistled at breakneck speed, turning into a streak of cold white light as it viciously severed one wanderer's head.
Qin Yang generated another burst of force out of thin air and swept the Great Chopper upward at an angle.
Squelch!
In an instant.
The other wanderer's chest was viciously sliced open.
Yet the wanderer revealed a bizarre smile, drew his longsword, and thrust straight for Qin Yang's throat.
Qin Yang twisted aside to evade it, while simultaneously sweeping the Great Chopper back across.
Squelch!
This wanderer's head was also cleanly sliced off.
All of a sudden, Qin Yang felt a gust of foul wind sweep toward him.
It was the head of the wanderer he had beheaded first, flying up from thin air with a strange smile and opening its mouth to bite him.
"Come on!!!"
Qin Yang roared madly.
Everything that wanted him dead had to die!!!
He surged with strength throughout his entire body, like a great bow drawn taut, and unleashed a heavy punch.
Arhat Demon Subduing!
Bang~!
The wanderer's head let out a shriek, scorched by the fierce, searing blood energy carried by the punch, then exploded outright!
At the same time.
Qin Yang fiercely thrust out the Great Chopper!
Squelch!
A head came hurtling right at him and was viciously impaled by the Great Chopper, turning into white smoke and dissipating.
Their corpses likewise turned into white smoke and vanished.
Huff, huff, huff~~~
Qin Yang panted slightly. Before he could regulate his breathing and as he was about to leave the Broken Temple, he sensed an icy, sinister malice behind him.
He could not help turning around.
A ruined Buddha statue sat hidden within the darkness in a cross-legged posture, smiling at him.
That smile made Qin Yang feel as though he had fallen into an ice pit.
Evil, bizarre, dark.
Qin Yang did not know how to describe it. Terror and bone-chilling cold rose within his heart.
He seemed to see a great Buddha emerge from the pitch-black void.
That Buddha was black all over, wearing a false and eerie smile. It raised a huge black palm and smashed it down upon him like Five Finger Mountain.
"No!!!"
"This is all fake!"
"It's all fake!!!"
Qin Yang shouted madly, forcing himself not to believe what he saw.
Yet as he watched the palm about to descend, he could not help feeling afraid. In the end, his expression became one of neither sorrow nor joy.
Zen Meditation!
He entered a state of profound mental focus.
Watching the black hand descend, his eyes were calm, without the slightest ripple.
Because he was firmly convinced in his heart that all of this was false.
Only in the state of Zen Meditation could he hold fast to his heart.
Boom!
At the instant the great hand fell.
Qin Yang finally returned to the real world.
He was drenched in sweat. He did not dare look again at that Evil Buddha and turned to walk out of the main hall.
Just as his foot was about to step out of the hall, it suddenly froze in midair.
Before the gloomy main hall hung corpse after corpse of monks.
The monks' corpses wore terrified expressions. Like air-dried waxed meat, their shriveled eyeballs kept staring at Qin Yang.
Bizarre. Terrifying.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yang did not know whether what he was seeing was real or false.
He could not tell.
If he rushed out, it would be like walking straight into a net.
But if he did not leave, that Evil Buddha statue was behind him.
Qin Yang was caught between a rock and a hard place, not knowing what to choose.
"Heaven and earth blaze brightly, while the underworld is bleak and miserable."
Suddenly.
The strange ringing of a bronze bell came from outside the Broken Temple.
A Daoist wearing a Tattered Yellow Daoist Robe entered the Broken Temple, shaking a bronze bell in his right hand and scattering paper money with his left.
"The living have the living's road. The dead have the dead's road."
The Daoist shook the bell as he chanted a strange incantation.
Strangely enough.
As the Daoist rang his bell and scattered paper money.
Qin Yang felt the malice clinging to him disappear.
The Daoist quickly arrived before Qin Yang.
Only then did Qin Yang clearly see what the Daoist looked like.
He was around forty, with sharp teeth and a monkey's face, and two drooping whiskers shaped like the character eight.
"If you don't want to die, follow me out."
"Remember, you can't breathe. Hold your breath the whole way!"
As he spoke, the Daoist stuck a piece of Yellow Talisman Paper onto Qin Yang's forehead.
Qin Yang could not make sense of the situation for the moment, but he had no other choice and could only listen to the Daoist.
He held his breath and followed behind the Daoist.
Along the way.
Qin Yang felt those desiccated monks glaring at him with malicious intent, leaving his nerves stretched taut.
But the journey was fraught with danger yet free of disaster, and Qin Yang actually made it out of the Broken Temple.
"You dared enter a temple this vicious? Are you tired of living?!"
The Daoist shook his head slightly.
"Daoist priest, what exactly was all this?"
Qin Yang could not help asking.
"How would I know? I only know that this temple's deathly baleful aura reaches the heavens."
"If I hadn't happened to pass by, I guarantee you would have ended up like those monks, hanged there."
The Daoist sneered.
Qin Yang could not help shuddering.
What he had seen just now had truly been too bizarre and horrifying.
