Chapter 135: Chapter 132 Ghost Ear Listening, The End of the Heroes

"Treasure! Treasure!"

The Taoist Lingxi, with glints of golden light flashing in his eyes, hailed from a minor side sect called Duobao Temple and cultivated a Mystical Department Taoist Skill known as the Duobao Divine Light Skill.

He excelled at appraising all kinds of magic treasures and curiosities.

After obtaining a Divine Power Talisman through the Receiving Talisman Enlightenment, he could even use a divine light cultivated within himself to simulate various magic treasures he had once seen.

The better he knew the structure and properties of a treasure, the stronger the counterfeit magic treasures he could simulate, with up to sixty percent of their power.

Though this was a Mystical Department Taoist Skill that could at most be cultivated to the realm of a Yellow Seal Mage, its potential was remarkable and had a wide range of applications.

The entire Duobao Temple, from top to bottom, was doing everything possible to collect more treasures and amass more knowledge.

They wanted to evolve the Duobao Divine Light Skill, turning it into a formidable Earth Department Taoism that could stand as the sect’s treasure!

The means used during this period were not limited to: theft, plunder, extermination, entrapment, setting traps to kill and rob treasures... and so on, the number of atrocities committed was countless.

Therefore, as soon as Taoist Lingxi realized there were treasures hidden in the city, he immediately gave up on the beauty and the flesh that was almost within his grasp. Driven by greed, he sprinted toward Luoyang Royal Mansion.

He strained his eyes wide open, wanting to catch a glimpse of what that shimmering gold could possibly be.

"Strange! Why does this treasure keep changing?"

But because of his excessive greed and vast experience, the things he desperately desired were far too many, so much so that even the combined five Rashamon Bones could hardly satisfy his wishes.

However.

It also allowed him to be the first to witness the terrifying power of the Money Sword Qi!

As a wave of golden light suddenly exploded in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, Taoist Lingxi finally realized that this familiar trick seemed like a ploy to lure people in and then kill them.

"Damn it! I always felt there was something fishy about this thing in life!"

Everything before his eyes turned black in an instant.

A Red Seal Mage with exquisite skills, under the haphazard slashing of what seemed like countless Money Sword Qi that cost nothing, predictably dropped dead on the spot.

Behind him, evil beings and heretics who came for the treasure all became the prime targets of the strike.

The first wave of Sword Qi had not stopped, and a second wave of Sword Qi rose again.

Atop the city walls.

Thousands of soldiers from the Firearms Camp, in the blink of an eye, were torn apart by the tide of corpses, their muskets and cannons had long since fallen silent.

Basically, only the seventy-two Iron Cavalry and some Integrated Force experts were still fighting a bloody battle against countless corpses.

Although they could hold on for a while longer because of their non-human physiques, once their energy gradually depleted, their fate, at the heart of the tide of corpses, wouldn’t be much better than their comrades from the Firearms Camp.

And right now, their efforts to hold back the tide of corpses were as futile as trying to stop a flood with an iron fence—their actual impact was quite unsatisfactory.

Not until a splendid golden light lit up behind them.

"Look quickly, what’s that?!"

"It’s copper coins, no, it’s flying swords!"

"We’re saved!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Streams of ostentatiously expensive golden Sword Qi radiated from the center of the Prince Mansion, sweeping across the sky above the entire Luoyang City.

One after another, the frantically running corpses on the city walls were smashed to pieces.

Unless a Heavenly Official descended in person, there was no hope of them rising again.

At this moment.

Under the barrage of Sword Qi from the realm of a Yellow Seal Mage, there was scarcely an enemy in the entire city who could match.

"When you start spending money by the ’cartload,’ it really is addictive! And when the money isn’t even ours, it feels even more exhilarating,"

Behind Wang Yuan, two female ghosts nodded in agreement unanimously, completely sharing this sentiment.

However.

Watching the Money Box release waves of Sword Qi relentlessly, and their little treasury rapidly deflating,

The trio couldn’t help but feel a sting amid the exhilaration.

"We might not have many opportunities to experience such a scene again in this lifetime. How many Luoyang Royal Mansions are there in the world to squander?"

After all, they hadn’t truly reached the realm of a Yellow Seal Mage where the Yin God could travel thousands of miles in a single night,

They couldn’t even achieve the late-stage Red Seal ability to precisely control Sword Qi while the Yin God was out of the body.

They could only let the Money Box act freely after roughly identifying friend from foe.

Although each gleaming Sword Qi was worth as much as an equivalent amount of gold, when in use, they were as if extravagantly free.

While the Money Sword Qi certainly made quite an impact, there were countless demons and evil beings who were hit with seventeen or eighteen strands of Sword Qi each.

"Don’t tell me... it’s pulling the same trick as the arms dealer, deliberately using hundreds of thousands of bullets just to kill one enemy?"

Wang Yuan also began to doubt whether the Money Box was doing this on purpose, aiming to trick him into allocating funds, so it could line its pockets considerably.

Unfortunately, he had no evidence.

Unaware that, after several barrages from the Money Box, the overt demons and corpses in the city were already swept clean.

Those hidden beyond their line of sight seemed to have narrowly escaped disaster.

Wang Yuan remained calm, forming a mantra with his hands, chanting urgently:

"Yin spirits, yin spirits, share life and death with you. Binding Yin and Yang, becoming brothers. If I face trouble, report in advance. Accessible throughout the heavens and earth, reaching the Netherworld! Hurry, like a decree!"

He grabbed fiercely at the ground, then opened his palm and blew forcefully towards the entire city.

Whoo whoo whoo...

Countless residual souls and ghostly figures, riding on the chilling winds, stormed out, following the faint cries, and entered house after house.

"Hehehe, I’ve found you here."

"And here too."

"Here!"

[Ghost Ear Listening Technique]

Allowed countless vanishing souls, with only their instincts remaining, to become Wang Yuan’s eyes and ears.

Although the ghostly wind was easily detectable by magicians, it was far more convenient than controlling birds.

What a pity.

Unlike last night, when he infiltrated the streets of the "Abstinence Wealth and Luck Tower" district in disguise, today he was the most ferocious crocodile in the swamp!

Why bother hiding?

"I’ve caught you all!"

Immediately, the sky full of sword light swept through again.

The few who had slipped through the net, hiding amongst the common people’s homes, could not escape the inescapable net of justice.

In a civilian house adorned with the character for happiness.

The groom, who had just married the day before, was hanging from the beam with a hemp rope but was desperately trying to muster the strength to break free and save his newlywed wife.

In the center of the room, the Eight Immortals Table, the only brand-new piece of furniture in the house, was being used for the first time, but not for dining.

The young bride, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, had her hands brutally nailed to the table’s surface with a sharp dagger, while a pale-faced young man was gesturing relentlessly over her body with a long sword.

Perhaps too excited, he hadn’t noticed the screams outside were somewhat off, nothing like what ordinary people could make.

Just as he was about to pounce.

A voice suddenly rang next to his ear, "Found you!"

The young man was startled for a moment.

A flash of sword light in the room, and his head rolled off.

That glittering copper coin immediately spun, cutting the rope from the groom’s body in passing.

In the end, the coin did not fly away again, but landed straight on the table.

As the sword energy dissipated, it turned out to be an ancient coin from several dynasties ago, which could probably fetch about ten taels of silver once sold.

The couple, free from their bonds and ignoring their wounds, bowed gratefully to the ancient coin, thankful beyond words.

"Thank you, kind stranger, for the life-saving grace! The Gao Family will surely erect an Immortality Tablet to worship day and night!"

This naturally wasn’t the heartless "Life-Saving Money," but a collectible from the Luoyang King. Taken from the people, used for the people, it was not too much.

After all, for Wang Yuan who was dubbed "Five Ghosts Eight Defeats," this money could be used for good deeds or to exorcise demons, but it just couldn’t be used on himself.

Having listened to the entire city using the [Ghost Ear Listening Technique] and confirming there were no more escapees left, he also discovered at the same time that the situation at the east gate for the Imperial Dragon Guard was quite dire.

"Madmen from the ’No-Life Dao’?"

Wang Yuan hesitated for just a moment before still making the [Money Box] spin.

The rolling [Money Sword Qi] immediately surged towards the east city gate.

...

The East Gate.

Nie Renxiong’s three trusted subordinates would naturally not let him fight a lone battle.

Joining together all the surviving members of the Luoyang City’s Imperial Dragon Guard colonels and powerful warriors to charge forward, they continued to fall one by one under the suicidal attacks of the No-Life Sect followers.

"Old Hu! Old Fu!"

Qiu Shaobai, the youngest and most flamboyant one, with a head of graying hair, watched his companions fall before him one after another.

As he called out in grief, almost bursting into tears of blood, his hair, which was only graying before, suddenly turned completely white.

Not far from him.

Old Hu, with his twisted goatee, had already established a Daoist Skill Foundation, should have smoothly "received the Talisman and achieved Enlightenment," and had a bright future ahead; and Fu Baoshi, silent and dependable, had both turned into charred corpses.

Commonly ranked spell soldier colonels and powerful warriors were even more disastrously killed or injured.

It was fortunate that Nie Renxiong had taken care to properly place his physical body before the arrival of the Yin God Sword, leaving no major weakness, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

Qiu Shaobai, who had been under much care from his companions, had used up all the ammo for his [Hexagonal Iron Cannon] and could only use it as an iron rod.

Yet, even relying on his Non-Human Level physique, and clashing directly with the roaring like Thunderclap from the [Divine Machine Gun and Cannon Technique] and the [Three Yang Martial Art], his arms began to tremble, and every bone in his body moaned in pain.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Despite the severe pain, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and leaving glaring bloodstains on the ground with every step forward,

Qiu Shaobai bellowed with bloodshot eyes and boiling energy within him, roaring:

"A rainbow soars across the skies, a thunderclap traverses the heavens. The mist is cleared, revealing a thousand mountains’ majesty, all demons are eradicated from the six directions! Charge—!"

This was an admonition left behind by the first generation of the Imperial Dragon Guard created by the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao" aiding Great Yan. It was upheld and practiced by successive generations of Imperial Dragon Guard colonels up to this day!

But today, it seemed the demons could not be fully eradicated.

In the center of the battlefield.

The [Taiyin Split Light Sword] controlled by Nie Renxiong’s Yin God was supposed to be elusive and as fast as lightning.

Now, however, like an old man in his twilight years, he was held at bay by two "No-Life Dao" Daoists wielding the combined powers of water and fire.

Combined with the evil [Deceit Object - One-Eyed Stone Man] in their hands, his defeat and death were merely a matter of time.
