Chapter 493: Chapter 234 Tongue-pulling Hell

Governor Gao Chang looked at the Nightmare Wood Talisman from a distance.

Its branches and leaves were showy, covering an area of more than ten acres. Over a thousand corpses hung from its branches, some dancing in the air, others walking on the ground. Even for him, the sight was enough to make his scalp tingle.

He had never seen a formation be broken so neatly before.

From the moment Chen Shi was ambushed by the Candle Lighter and pulled into the Heaven and Earth Net Formation, to him killing the Candle Lighter, storming the formation, killing others, breaking the formation, releasing the Nightmare Wood Talisman, and jamming the formation, it was all done in one breath!

He had never seen such immense lethality either.

Over a thousand elites from the Banshan Sect and the Hundred Refinement Hall were nearly all killed, with only five survivors!

Among these thousand, six to seven hundred were specialists in tomb-robbing from West Bull New Continent, selected from thousands. By day they might be fortune tellers in the countryside, geomancers roving the streets, peddlers carrying goods to villages, owners of coffin shops, or knife sharpeners.

At night, they were gentlemen with Luo Yang shovels entering the yin houses of the deceased to dig graves.

They trafficked in the jewelry found in those tombs, carried Blood Nourishing Jade, and even reared lost souls.

They were skilled, coming without a trace and leaving without a shadow.

But outside Niandu City, in the battle that broke the formation, the tomb-robbing experts of West Bull New Continent were nearly wiped out! freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The remaining four to five hundred were skilled craftsmen from the Hundred Refinement Hall selected for their ability to refine artifacts and treasures, nearly all lost as well!

Even Niandu’s Prefecture Soldiers, if they had wanted to surround and kill these thousand people, would have had to pay a heavy price.

"Chen Shi alone caused the demise of these people."

Governor Gao Chang muttered softly, "Who says Chen Shi relies on the leftover influence of Chen Yindou? Who says he relies on the demons within him? Those who think this way surely underestimate him. The real danger is not the demons inside him, but he himself. I wonder if the Western Capital has noted this..."

The information he received often came from the Western Capital, including rumors about Chen Shi, all saying not to provoke Chen Shi, that there were demons inside him, and if Chen Shi were to die, these demons would be released, and so on.

Now, the battle that broke the formation outside Niandu City made Gao Chang realize the dangerousness of Chen Shi.

Baili Mu’s face was ashen, his limbs ice cold.

Since he had become the Sect Master, the Banshan Sect had flourished under his leadership, unearthing many large tombs, severing several ley lines, and seizing various magical treasures. The number of disciples within the sect had also been steadily increasing, showing signs of a renaissance.

Over the years, the number of experts in the Banshan Sect had increased significantly, the disciples blossoming everywhere, with hundreds of disciples alone in the Golden Core Realm!

If it weren’t for his decision to follow the young master, the Banshan Sect could never have achieved what it did now.

Unexpectedly, today, the Banshan Sect had suffered a near-catastrophic blow!

Chen Shi had been too ruthless.

Using the Mysterious Transformation Furnace to block the Heaven and Earth Net Formation, inserting a Nightmare Wood Talisman, the formation that was supposed to trap him turned into a nightmare for the Banshan Sect and the Hundred Refinement Hall.

In front of him, the Nightmare Wood held the bodies of one thousand one hundred and forty-three experts in Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms, and also three bodies of Divinity Transformation realm experts hanging from its branches, dancing as the branches moved.

If he had not arrived in time, the remaining five Divinity Transformation realm experts would probably also have been devoured by this grotesque tree.

The monstrous tree had become incredibly large, its canopy covering an area of ten acres, with over a thousand bodies hanging from its branches, a sight both spectacular and eerie!

"Devil... Chen Shi, you are a devil!"

Baili Mu roared in anger, his Primordial Spirit emerging from his body and standing in the void, he lifted his hand to summon the Tathagata Treasure Seal.

He suddenly turned his hand over, and as his palm came down, it was as if the hand of The Buddha was descending from the heavens.

The Nightmare Wood controlled by Chen Shi was extremely powerful, or else it wouldn’t have been able to besiege five Divinity Transformation realm experts, but it stood no chance against such a Magical Treasure and didn’t even have a chance to escape!

Under the oppressive force of the Tathagata Treasure Seal, the Nightmare Wood couldn’t move, and before the seal even touched it, it began to explode and shatter!

The Tathagata Treasure Seal, like rotting wood, crushed the Nightmare Wood, slamming heavily onto the ground, creating a massive palm imprint on the earth, a hundred lengths long and sixty-seven wide!

Baili Mu retracted the treasure seal, his gaze stern, and stood up to leave the deer carriage, heading straight towards the Grand South Lake.

The five exhausted Divinity Transformation realm experts wanted to follow him, but when they reached the lake, they no longer saw any trace of Baili Mu.

The lake water roared, washing away all tracks.

The five stopped.

Among them, one belonged to the Hundred Refinement Hall, and the other four from the Banshan Sect.

"What do we do now?" one asked urgently.

Another replied, "The Sect Master is a power of the Divine Descent realm and carries the Magical Treasure Tathagata Treasure Seal, he surely will have no trouble slaying Chen the old devil!"

"But if something happens to the Sect Master, I’m afraid our Banshan Sect will be expelled..."

The lakeside was quiet.

In the past, no one would ever have said such a thing.

Because Baili Muistinguished itself as the revitalizing leader of the Banshan Sect, with high strength, among the historical sect masters of the Banshan Sect, few could match him.

Chen Shi was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy; even if he had practiced since in his mother’s womb, it would have only been for about a dozen years. What could he have that would rival a master like Baili Mu?

But now, not only did someone say such a thing, but others believed it too.

Because Chen Shi had been too ruthless.

Over a thousand experts in Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and four in Divinity Transformation realms had successively fallen at his and the Nightmare Wood’s hands!

At that moment, the sound of hooves approached, and Saintess Xuan arrived, driving the deer carriage.

Holding the Hundred Changes Furnace, the Magical Treasure of the Hundred Refinement Hall in one hand, she passed them and rushed into the Grand South Lake.

The two spotted deer tread on clouds, running across the lake surface, the four wheels of the carriage speeding swiftly across the water, quickly leaving the five far behind.
