The Blade Draws the Lotus Leaf, Battle in the Prison

The backlash from the Plague God god's power spread out of the small courtyard in a visible ripple.

Chu Tianshu was the first to be attacked, but his eyes showed no wavering, only killing intent.

He could sense that uninvited guests were above the cell.

But the most important thing now is to completely destroy half of this Plague God god.

The first round of fast swords wasn't enough.

Buzz!!

A layer of cyan light emanated from beneath Chu Tianshu's feet, covering the ground within a ten-meter radius and blocking the path through which the Plague God's half-body seeped into the ground.

As he exerted force with the soles of his feet, the ground shook.

The Plague God's half-body, which had already been cut into dozens of pieces, finally fell apart, bouncing into the air in fragments.

Immediately, a second round of rapid sword strikes erupted.

Dozens, even hundreds, of white sword lights crisscrossed horizontally and diagonally.

In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire area where the fragments in mid-air were located.

But it didn't resemble a net; no other net could be as sharp as these sword marks.

The mark begins at an extremely sharp point, and the end remains sharp.

Even though they are just intangible white marks, these sword marks give people a sense of hardness, sharpness, and unyielding nature.

Chu Tianshu's entire body moved with lightning speed, still a little short of the speed of sound.

However, his speed far exceeded the speed of sound.

The speed at which the sword tip sweeps and cuts is even more terrifying.

Chu Tianshu's Sword Qi and Sword Intent all impacted the Plague God's body.

The white marks left in mid-air were not extra Sword Qi, but rather signs that the air had been cut open.

The air hadn't had time to buffer, expand, recirculate, or calm down.

Yuanzai also sensed this and was shocked.

Throughout the world, the most common attitude towards Ghost God is to worship and make offerings, while others keep their distance out of respect.

Even if sorcerers with profound magical skills joined forces, they would still be unable to seal away a Ghost God.

Even if Yuanzai saw this, he would not be too moved.

But this guy in front of me... he's clearly a brute who wants to kill the Plague God outright!!

And judging from the looks of it, that Plague God might really be annihilated here.

A thought flashed through Yuanzai's mind, and he suddenly set off.

He is a Spirit Body, and not the kind of fragile Spirit Body that floats in the air and cannot even decide its own direction of flight.

As the current leader of the Five Rampancies Dharma Sect, even in his state of astral projection, he can lift heavy objects weighing thousands of kilograms, wander through dreams at night, steal souls to kill, and intercept crossbow bolts even when he strikes last.

However, living souls need clear-headed reason, after all, they are different from Evil Spirit and ghosts.

If the soul leaves the body without a vessel, it is easily susceptible to contamination and obstacles if not handled carefully.

Places of filth, decaying corpses, and the cycle of life, places of fervent human desires, pregnant women, and pregnant livestock can all cause significant inconvenience.

Places like Luoyang Prison are filthy in the east and covered with lime in the west. They have been used for brewing medicinal herbs, practicing magic, and now even Plague God and warriors are wreaking havoc.

If Yuanzai had come in his usual state of astral projection, he wouldn't have been able to unleash his full speed.

I'm afraid that during flight, it will become choppy and very unsmooth.

However, he was sent by Ghost God and gods, and now he is further empowered by thirteen magical artifacts.

Once this action is taken, it can be said that there are Taboo.

The colorless aura created by the divine power throughout the courtyard was already fluctuating.

The oppressive aura of the Plague God had dwindled to a small wisp, like a lotus leaf, trembling incessantly.

Chu Tianshu's oppressive aura dominated, like a turbulent sea crashing against the "lotus leaf."

Yuanzai moved, but did not attack Chu Tianshu directly.

He flew down from above, slashing with his sword at the boundary between the two oppressive forces.

The heavy, dark Great Saber sliced into the center of the blade, moving with a flick and a twist, all in the blink of an eye.

The lotus leaf seemed to have suddenly found an opening and rammed into it with all its might.

In mid-air, a powerful burst of water vapor erupted, blasting the dark figure high into the sky, where it vanished in a flash.

The earthenware jars stacked against the wall were all shattered, and the dregs of medicine were scattered all over the ground.

The gust of wind was nothing to Chu Tianshu, but he suddenly felt a surge of blood and qi, causing his hand speed to slow down.

The remaining few fragments of rainbow light were about to fly away.

"Return!"

Chu Tianshu roared and made a grabbing motion with his left hand.

Only a few remnants of the Plague God remained, unable to escape the suction force, and its speed slowed down.

Chu Tianshu raised his right hand and swung his sword diagonally, completely destroying those few streaks of rainbow light.

The goal was achieved, but it took several extra seconds.

This was the first time Chu Tianshu had ever discovered that someone could actually affect his physical body when targeting a pressure attack.

That uninvited guest must have an extremely profound understanding of Kamui.

Using that one strike to buy a few extra seconds, the purpose must be... to the east!

From the west room to the east cell.

Yuanzai was like a black arrow shot from a ballista.

Suddenly, it burst through the wall and stood before Yuanli.

This cell had actually been cleaned a little, and a new layer of dry straw had been laid on top.

Yuanli, the old Daoist priest with yellow hair, sat leaning against the corner of the wall, with three silver needles stuck in his body.

There was another table in the room, with a green-headed desk lamp, a pen, paper, and a rifle.

Huo Ming and his Adjutant Yang, who were interrogating and taking notes behind the table, also heard the commotion outside and turned around in surprise.

Yuanzai appeared so quickly that Huo Ming didn't have time to grab the rifle on the platform, and instinctively used his own pistol.

A flash of gunfire.

A small burst of blue and white light also erupted from the black cloak behind Yuanzai.

The clean brass bullet pierced his body and struck the wall.

The gentian power attached to the bullet was blocked by the cloak and armor, and could not penetrate it at all.

Yuanzai was completely unharmed, he simply stretched out his hand.

His left hand plunged directly into Yuanli's head and pulled it out.

The three silver needles on the old Daoist priest's body snapped at the same time, and a soul was pulled out from his forehead.

Chu Tianshu's skill was so great that it injured both the body and the soul. The palm strike that broke the old yellow-haired Daoist's ribs also weakened his soul.

As soon as Yuanzai pulled out the soul, he discovered that his junior brother's soul had shrunk to only about two feet long.

"This is outrageous!!"

Yuanzai was furious, but he knew that it would be extremely difficult to save his junior brother's physical body today.

The only realistic option is to leave with your soul intact.

At worst, we can pray to the gods to erect a statue for our junior brother and house his soul inside, so that he can still come out and move around at night.

This means that the sect can still retain the combat power of a master.

As soon as Yuanzai up his mind, his whole body sank down, about to disappear directly into the ground.

Suddenly, a blue Four-Leaf Seal, about half the size of a person, spun rapidly along the ground and rushed into the cell from outside.

Yuanzai's feet were blocked by the Four-Leaf Seal, his eyes flickered slightly, but the purple-gold crown on his head suddenly shone brightly.

"Techniques that affect the five senses?"

Yuanzai's purple-gold crown was specifically designed to break such methods. With a tremor under his feet, the Four-Leaf Seal immediately collapsed.

But, just as he stomped his foot, Chu Tianshu burst in.

The prison cells here still retain their bars, with thick wooden bars, as thick as a child's arm, used to make the cell doors, which are very sturdy.

Chu Tianshu is not Spirit Body, so even if he could destroy it, he would inevitably slow it down.

But when he charged in with his sword, he moved sideways, and for a moment his body was narrower than the prison door.

The prison door was perfectly intact.

Controlling his body to make this slight change was easier for him than controlling a frown.

The Sanqi Divine Sword touched Yuanzai's left wrist, intending to snatch the frail soul away.
