Dan Liang advanced step by step, scarlet mist gathering around him, and a scarlet vertical pupil on the sword guard suddenly opened.
“Come on, let me help you be free!”
As Mr. Dan spoke, the vertical eye on the sword guard quickly rolled its eyeball, locking its gaze on the Flesh Buddha Statue.
For a moment, it was truly difficult to distinguish who was more like a malevolent spirit!
Seeing this, the Flesh Buddha Statue sighed, and the next moment, the flesh on its body began to squirm like worms.
“Obstinate and unrepentant, even a Buddha can have an angry countenance!”
The flesh worms squirmed rapidly, and in an instant, the originally 'benevolent-looking' Flesh Buddha Statue became green-faced with fangs!
The skull prayer beads it had been holding in its hand even came alive, with flesh attached to the white bones, and joints clattering open and closed, emitting a series of irritating clicking sounds.
Without a single extra word, the Buddha Statue waved its hand, the skull prayer beads broke, and heads flew towards Dan Liang!
Blood tears flowed from their hollow eyes, falling as they flew, like a rain of blood.
Sizzle sizzle~
The ground was corroded by the blood, forming pits, and wisps of white smoke slowly rose from the hollows.
Dan Liang grinned ferociously, and red mist gathered under his nose, forming half a scarlet mask.
He swung the long blade in his hand horizontally through the air!
Scarlet blade energy surged, creating wind from nowhere!
The heads in mid-air swayed precariously, and some of the closer ones were pulled by the wind onto the blade energy, turning into dust.
With one strike, the wind ceased and the rain stopped.
Before the Flesh Buddha Statue could attack again, Dan Liang had already rushed forward!
He swung the scarlet long blade in his hand towards the Buddha Statue's neck!
Just as it was about to hit, the flesh on the Buddha Statue's neck split open, causing Dan Liang's strike to miss.
Taking advantage of the opening as Dan Liang recovered, meat spears shot out from the neck's gap. At this moment, Dan Liang was in mid-air and couldn't change his movements at all.
Just as the meat spears were about to hit, Dan Liang seemed to be subjected to a thousand-pound drop, his body rapidly falling, narrowly dodging the attack.
“Well done!”
Dan Liang praised, if it wasn't for the long blade suddenly becoming heavy and pulling him down, he would have almost been finished there.
Dan Liang's body didn't stop, power rising from the ground, from his waist to his arm!
The long blade, with a scarlet trailing mist, cut out a perfect semicircle, slicing right at the Buddha Statue's ankle!
Clang!
A cold light flashed, and the leg separated.
The flesh at the severed end turned into flesh worms again, growing in both directions, attempting to reconnect.
But Dan Liang struck again, and after several more cuts, the Buddha Statue's foot was sliced into more than a dozen pieces!
The flesh worms at the wound still tried to struggle, but in an instant, they were completely devoured by the red mist emanating from the blade!
The Buddha Statue lost its balance and stumbled.
Dan Liang naturally couldn't miss such a good opportunity!
His usual motto is: strike him when he's down, finish him off!
The long blade once again erupted with streaks of red light, as if it had become a bloody sun!
“Slash!!!”
Swish!
The blade light moved from bottom to top, slicing the Flesh Buddha Statue in two!
Boom!
The two halves of the Buddha Statue crashed heavily to the ground, shattering into a pile of flesh worms!
The worms squirmed densely, enough to drive someone with trypophobia insane, but Dan Liang seemed to see nothing.
The blood vessels connected to the long blade snapped one after another, and a large amount of red mist sprayed out from the breaks, rushing towards the worms!
The blood-colored mist was like strong sulfuric acid, corroding and devouring all the worms it touched!
At the same time, the surrounding temple buildings began to collapse.
Cracks also appeared in the dim sky, as if this world was about to break apart.
Dan Liang took a deep breath, and a blurry door slowly condensed behind him from the blood-colored mist.
“Congratulations, you are free.”
As he spoke, the large door opened, and a terrifying suction force emanated, pulling all the worms on the ground, along with the red mist, into it!
Click!
Only after all the remnants had been sucked into the door did the blood-colored door slowly close.
The flesh on Dan Liang’s right hand also turned back into blood mist and slowly dissipated, merging into his body.
Crack, crack.
Sounds of cracking echoed around, and Dan Liang quickly rushed into the dining hall, grabbed the silver briefcase, and ran out.
At the same time, the temple, the ground, and even the sky began to collapse!
Endless darkness began to devour everything, like a shredder, disintegrating everything it touched!
Dan Liang ran for his life, pressing the password box as he ran. A silver bullet shot out from it, forming a light door not far from him. Dan Liang didn't even think, he leaped and jumped into it.
Buzz~
The moment the light door closed, darkness completely swallowed everything here.
...
H City.
Restricted Area.
Buzz~
The light door opened, and Dan Liang's somewhat disheveled figure jumped out of it.
“Phew, damn it, I almost bought it.”
“Good thing I ran fast.”
Thump, thump, thump.
Footsteps approached, and Dan Liang turned his head to see a big fat man in a black suit running towards him, wiping sweat.
“As expected of Mr. Dan, with you here, mere malevolent spirits are not worth mentioning.”
The fat man's eyes were almost invisible from smiling. Dan Liang brushed off the bits of flesh from his body and said.
“Flattery doesn't come with a discount, it's ten million, thank you!”
Hearing that number, the smile on the fat man's face stiffened, but he still forced a smile and said.
“No problem, no problem. The money will definitely be transferred to your account by noon tomorrow at the latest.”
Dan Liang grunted, picked up the silver briefcase, and walked out.
The fat man quickly followed behind him, smiling obsequiously, which left the accompanying security personnel completely bewildered.
Only after seeing Dan Liang off in the car did one of the security personnel finally Can't help it ask.
“Chief Wang, who exactly is this person?”
Chief Wang, the fat man, only slowly spoke after Dan Liang's car was completely out of sight.
“You're not from H City, are you?”
“Me? No, I'm from N City, transferred here.”
Chief Wang showed a 'just as I thought' expression, then pointed in the direction Dan Liang had left and said.
“Anyone from H City knows him.”
“His name is Dan Liang. He graduated from H City Martial Arts School as the top student in his class. Great Wall Watch extended an invitation to him, but he refused it.”
Hearing this, the security personnel's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Refused Great Wall Watch?
One must know that ever since the birth of malevolent spirits, Great Wall Watch has been the absolute pillar of Great Xia!
Almost ninety-nine percent of young people aimed to awaken a Divine Appearance and considered joining Great Wall Watch an honor!
And now this person actually gave it up?
“R-really?”
“Of course, there's nothing to lie about.”
Chief Wang's expression became somewhat emotional as he continued, “Later, he became a bounty hunter, specializing in solving temporary Spirit World outbreaks.”
“However, he usually keeps a low profile, so you might not have heard his name, but he has a nickname in the circle that you should be familiar with.”
“What?”
The people around looked at Chief Wang with curiosity, and they saw him say with a sigh.
“Warden!”
