(Three more chapters, please follow) “Gold, Silver, Copper, return to my body…

ceaselessly,”

With gold on the left and silver on the right, the Mountain God staggered slowly forward.

He resembled a monster that had just obtained a new body, stiff all over, limbs uncoordinated.

Crane eyes, phoenix whiskers, his face kind and benevolent—but the silver on his gold face gave off an eerie and bizarre vibe.

His gold and silver eyes brimmed with emptiness, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, the Bidiao released by Zhou Li suddenly froze midair, its astonished gaze fixed on the village that had slipped into stupor.

The thick, solid light from the oil lamps streamed through the paper windows, illuminating every home in the dozens of households, making the entire village as dazzlingly bright as daylight, glorious and magnificent.

Zhou Li and Qianhu looked around.

The bright and resplendent light from thousands of homes flickered, painting each fading house at dusk into gleaming Copper Coins.

At the same time, door after door opened.

“Gold, Silver, Copper, return to my body, ceaselessly,”

A faint coppery light appeared in the hollow pupils, and the head of the Gold and Silver Statue slowly turned, the empty eye sockets scanning the villagers with lifeless faces.

Then, a sly smile spread across his face.

“Golden body, silver skin, copper eyes, all are human desires,”

“He wants to merge with these villagers!”

Realizing something was amiss, Qianhu bellowed and charged forward with his sword, his long red robe tracing a blaze of light across the dusk.

At the same time, the villagers took stiff steps forward, walking towards the Gold and Silver Statue.

As if even the clouds in the sky were split apart by the extreme sharpness of the Sword Qi, a fine white light appeared between Qianhu and the Gold and Silver Statue.

The wrist sunk, twisted, and the sword lifted—the long sword that had been aimed directly at the statue’s heart, now with a metallic humming echoed, cleaved towards its throat.

Thud!

The muffled yet sharp sound of iron clashing made Qianhu step back several paces, surprise flickering in his eyes.

How could this be?

Others might not know, but he knew that his strike was not just infused with Dragon Tiger Qi but also secretly layered with Demon Qi at the tip of the blade.

After a one-two pass, the power of this sword was such that even The Demon Monk wouldn’t dare to face it head-on.

Yet the Gold and Silver Statue faced it without a scratch, which made Qianhu’s heart sink.

If this ghostly entity absorbed the metal inside so many villagers, even if he revealed his Demonic Body, it would be impossible for Zhou Li to escape unscathed.

What should be done?

“Gold, Silver, Copper, they are human desires, all of you have desires in your hearts, why not submit to me and share in the endless wealth?”

The Gold and Silver Statue clasped hands together, its appearance full of Daoist marks, but striking a Buddhist pose, chuckling foolishly as it faced Zhou Li and Qianhu, voice tinged with the sound of metal:

“Both of you are heroes, yet heroes through the ages often die untimely deaths because they never understand that no amount of strength can compare to human greed.”

He looked at Zhou Li, calm of face, and Qianhu, still as water, corners of his mouth curling up, a compassionate smile appearing on the face of the statue.

He nodded slightly, shook his head, and spoke:

“It seems you two do not believe in the power of greed.

So be it, I shall make a vow.

If you can convince a single villager to willingly leave this place, instead of kneeling at my feet begging for money, I shall let you both go.

If not, then please join me in the dance, how about it?”

As his words ended, the gold of the Gold and Silver Statue turned into a liquid and began to flow slowly.

The villagers, who had been stiff of face, suddenly came to life, like hyenas smelling carrion, their faces painted with lustful and frenzied smiles as they staggered over to the sides of the Gold and Silver Statue, lapping up the Immortal Gold Drink that flowed like a stream.

“You see, I’ve given them many chances,”

The statue laughed, a laugh wild with madness.

“Before you came, there were already more than ten people who arrived here, trying to save those buried by greed.

I never troubled anyone, and I always present this choice.

If just one person chooses redemption, I would let everyone go, everyone!

But in the end, those who claimed to be heroes and chivalrous, also crawled through the eye of a needle, clad in silver, guzzling the Immortal Gold Drink!”

The villagers surrounding the Mountain God suddenly let out painful howls.

They fell to their knees in unison, lifted their heads, and their seven orifices burst open to release a thick, brass-colored liquid instead of blood.

Seeing this, Qianhu’s expression instantly became severe, and his right hand had begun to show dark black scales.

He was focused intently on the Mountain God shrouded by countless villagers, ready to reveal his Demonic Body and fight to the death to get Zhou Li to safety as soon as the other’s transformation was complete.

The road ahead is up to you.

Taking a deep breath, the hand that Qianhu rested on the Embroidered Spring Knife began to grow sharp thorns, and a vicious spike-tail faintly appeared behind him.

However, it was at this moment that he suddenly noticed a strange color within the flowing bronze liquid.

“Lord Qianhu.”

Zhou Li, fighting side-by-side with Qianhu, did not turn his head but just looked at the statue in front of him and patted Qianhu’s shoulder.

Subconsciously, the tail and claws retracted, and upon realizing that Zhou Li had not noticed his transformation, Qianhu asked, “Does the young master have a plan?”

“Do you see it?”

Zhou Li rested his arm on Qianhu’s shoulder and pointed towards a sneaky figure in the crowd.

Looking at the beautiful woman Zhou Li was pointing at, Qianhu was stunned.

“This old thing has overlooked one issue.”

Zhou Li moved his arm and twisted his neck, then stretched his body.

He looked at the Gold, Silver, Copper Statue, which was becoming increasingly massive and eerie, with a playful smile on his face.

“You and I…”

“are not heroes.”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!”

As soon as Zhou Li had finished speaking, the Gold, Silver, Copper Statue, which had seemed to have victory in its grasp, let out a painful scream.

Then, its entire right arm and leg went limp instantaneously.

The nine-meter-tall giant statue suddenly knelt on one knee.

The benevolent and kindly face was instantly overtaken by ferocity.

It glared with its copper coin eyes and bellowed:

“What have you done?

What have you done?!!”

“Cartilage Water.”

Just then, a small head suddenly popped out of the well beside them, and Tang Wan, expressionless, blowing bubbles, raised a bottle with its contents nearly depleted, “It softens both human flesh and metal, highly versatile, easy to concoct.”

“When?!”

Upon sensing the strange liquid residue in the small bottle, the Gold, Silver, Copper Statue suddenly discovered in shock that the same liquid spotted its body.

It looked incredulously at Zhou Li, pupils contracting, its copper coin eyes frozen in fear, “You actually!”

“Humans need to eat.”

Looking at the incredulous Gold, Silver, Copper Statue, Zhou Li smiled radiantly:

“You all have just one well, poisoning it was simply too easy.”
