Chapter 40 - 38: The Birth of an Evil Spirit with Spirituality

Chapter 40: Chapter 38: The Birth of an Evil Spirit with Spirituality

Evil spirits were harbored within the Divine Banner.

The Divine Banner had now become the true body of the Evil Spirit!

This "Evil Banner" summoned chilly winds, even encircling half of Bull Horn Mountain, trapping everyone inside.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Mister Jing’s voice was full of shock, "How could this happen?"

Inside the Divine Banner, filled with Liu Venerate’s Qi Mechanism, not only did it fail to suppress the Evil Spirit, but it was used by the Evil Spirit as its anchor!

He burned Spirit Talismans, invoking the divinity of Liu Venerate.

However, the divinity not only failed to eliminate the Evil Spirit but instead made the Evil Spirit grow stronger!

He had practiced since his youth in Liu Zun Temple and had never heard of such a case.

How could there be Evil Spirits in the world that were not afraid of Liu Venerate?

Even if they were not afraid of Liu Venerate, how could they possibly use Liu Venerate’s divinity to grow stronger?

How could such a terrifying Evil Spirit fall into the hands of someone like Administrator Luo?

The knowledge he had built from studying the Magic Method since his youth was completely obliterated at this moment.

"..."

Meng Lu, shocked to the core, had an even more complex expression on his face.

When he came to assist Mister Jing, the Great Commander Zhao Zhou told him that he was here to deal with a demon.

Because Mister Jing was not skilled in martial arts and was afraid of being harmed by the demon.

But as for the Evil Spirit, Meng Lu need not worry.

Mister Jing was a high disciple of the temple, and all his learning suppressed Evil Spirits!

The Evil Spirit that entered the city last night was just an ordinary wandering spirit, which was somewhat tricky for the Martial Artist, but for Mister Jing, it was easy to capture.

But he had not expected to encounter such a situation.

At that moment, he even vaguely felt as if Mister Jing was an enemy spy.

Otherwise, why would the Evil Spirit become stronger and stronger under Mister Jing’s "methods"?

If initially, the Evil Spirit could be protected against by Meng Lu’s martial arts cultivation, avoiding erosion.

Now, this Evil Qi-filled Evil Spirit that enveloped half the mountain could easily devour Meng Lu’s soul completely.

"What do we do now?"

Just then, a Divine Envoy solemnly opened his mouth and asked quietly.

"I have another method, cover me!"

Mister Jing spoke solemnly.

But no sooner had his voice fallen when several voices rose in succession!

"Don’t!" Meng Lu cried out in alarm, his heart in terror.

"Master, withdraw your Divine Skills!" the leader of the night patrol shouted, his face pale with fear.

"Please, Mister Jing, spare our lives!" More night patrollers and city defense soldiers, all pale-faced, pleaded.

"I...."

Mister Jing opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.

He turned his head, only to see that the six Divine Envoys behind him also hesitated to speak, clearly intending to persuade.

At this moment, a cold voice was heard again.

"If you assist ’Him’ to grow further, I can conclude that you are one of them."

Lin Yan’s expression was cold, his tone chilling, "You stand there, don’t move recklessly, or I’ll chop you down with one slash!"

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Lin Yan also felt quite conflicted at this moment, initially he just wanted to witness the temple’s exorcism methods.

Unexpectedly, under the magic method of the temple, the Evil Spirit seemed as if it had gained a great opportunity, and within moments, it had grown so significantly.

If it became even stronger, it might surpass the category of roaming spirits and become a true evil spirit.

Although for Lin Yan, the stronger the Evil Spirit, the more Evil Qi he would obtain.

However, he had no experience in dealing with true evil spirits.

Although he could protect himself, facing an evil spirit he had never encountered before, he was not fully confident he could protect the lives of the others present.

In Lin Yan’s eyes, these people were all guardians of High Willow City. It was not the act of a great man to risk their lives just to manipulate a few strands of Evil Qi!

So, he directly stopped Mr. Mirror from making another move.

"I..."

Mr. Mirror’s face changed unpredictably, and he finally bowed his head in dejection.

He was a direct disciple of a temple priest and was deeply respected wherever he went.

He had never expected that coming to this most marginal part of the outer city, Linjiang Square, he would encounter such a mysterious and bizarre event.

In just a moment, his repeated mistakes had allowed the Evil Spirit to become so powerful, and he truly felt too ashamed to hold his head up.

But the Divine Envoys behind him could not stand to see the people of the outer city treating Mr. Mirror so rudely.

One of them stepped forward and exclaimed, "If Mr. Mirror does not take action, what other methods do you all have facing the Evil Spirit?"

"If facing a demon, as Martial Artists, you can bravely draw your swords and sever its flesh."

"But the Evil Spirit is intangible and formless; your blades are utterly useless."

"Moreover, inside High Willow City, even the divine essence of Liu Venerate cannot suppress it, so what other methods could possibly allow you to escape from here?"

As his voice fell, they saw Mr. Mirror raise his hand again.

Seeing this, the crowd looked again toward Mr. Mirror, whose expression carried a hint of apology.

"Actually, this Evil Spirit isn’t too powerful yet, it hasn’t completely transcended the category of a ’roaming spirit,’ nor has it developed the essence of a ’true Evil Spirit’."

"Logically speaking, I should be able to easily restrain it."

"But for some reason, it’s unafraid of Liu Venerate’s divine essence and even capable of drawing on Liu Venerate’s divine essence to strengthen itself."

"Such a bizarre Evil Spirit is unprecedented and truly baffling to deal with. Currently, applying what I’ve learned seems only to enhance its power instead of eradicating it."

"Right now, if there were a being in the Refining Essence Realm present, who has merged the internal and external through martial cultivation, whose Qi-Blood is like fire, and whose physique is as formidable as a diamond, he could endure the ’invasion’."

Mr. Mirror spoke solemnly, "Looking at it now, neither the specialized methods nor the objects of the temple for exterminating the Evil Spirit appear effective! But if there were a being of the Refining Essence Realm, who could use the tip of their tongue to mobilize their heart’s blood, perhaps a single drop of ’Essential Blood’ might hope to break the Evil Spirit!"

"Where would we find someone in the Refining Essence Realm here?"

Just then, a cold, aged, harsh, and chilling laughter arose.

The crowd turned in shock, only to see the corpse of the old wine gourd man, who had opened his eyes, showing a hideous smile.

Between his waist and abdomen were holes as numerous as a sieve’s.

But he struggled to rise slowly.

Rising with a twisted posture, he stiffly got up.

His ancient visage gradually twisted, his expression ghastly and grim.

"In High Willow City, such great figures, are they not all in the inner city, wielding great authority?"

The old man opened his mouth, full of fresh blood, and said with a smile, "Expecting such figures to rescue you is less realistic than expecting to become a part of me, to together ascend to divinity, and to live as long as the heavens and the earth, immortal for all eternity..."

The crowd stepped back, immensely frightened and deeply astonished, feeling an intense chill in this night.

Only Meng Lu clenched his teeth slightly, stepped forward, and with a swing of his sword, cleaved the old man’s head off.

But as the head rolled down, it stared fixedly at Meng Lu and said, "Great courage, too bad your skills are lacking; otherwise, I would have taken your body."

With these words, the head closed its eyes and became utterly still.

"An Evil Spirit born with its own ’spiritual nature’..."

Meng Lu’s heart suddenly sank.
