Chapter 432: The Human-Puppet Celestial Maiden Statue! Blazing Inferno! Burn It All Away!
Zhang Wei sneered dismissively and stepped right up behind Li Yanchu. “Daoist Master Cao Cao, finish him off.”
In response, Li Yanchu smiled.
“You sure your intel isn’t useless or out of date? Or did you mean to trick me?” he said.
Zhang Wei hurried to explain, “Daoist Master Cao, don’t falsely accuse me. I only want to win you over, why would I give fake intel? It’s just that this Blissful Land has changed in bizarre ways, and no one was prepared.”
Li Yanchu smiled faintly and said nothing.
By now the handsome scholar could no longer restrain himself. He plunged his hand into his belly and pulled out a bronze ancient bell nearly half a man high. The bell should have been a Daoist artifact, but now it bore mottled, dull stains of blood, and gave off an ominous aura, which was colder than the chill of ordinary hateful ghosts.
This is a Daoist artifact that has been tainted, Li Yanchu thought. Clearly this Blissful Land had once been invaded by strange demons as well, though perhaps not the exact same kind as those in Mount Jinting.
Clang!
Li Yanchu drew the Jiaoslayer. With one flash of steel he severed the handsome scholar’s wrist.
Strangely, the bronze bell did not drop; it instead hovered in midair.
Clang! Clang! Clang! That hoarse, uncanny sound rang out and set everyone on edge.
This time Zhang Wei felt something inside him erupt. In an instant his eyes went blood-red.
