Raindrops grew denser, the fabric on my shoulders half-dampened, I finally located the factory from back then.
Two crashes of thunder roared again, a streak of lightning split the sky, and the massive pile of glass at the factory gate reflected a dazzling white light!
Lao Gong let out a scream, controlling Si Yan's body and darting into the factory gate. He wanted to clap his chest with his hands, but quickly lowered them, taking deep breaths repeatedly.
"You, sir... You are now playing with the big Thunder. Old Gong is afraid of me. After the sky's anger passes, it could easily destroy you as if it's dissolving dozens of times. It might just make you a ghost wandering forever. In worst case scenarios… It might be your soul and your spirit disintegrated."
"We shouldn't be taking such risks..." Old Gong kept muttering to himself.
"I nodded, then walked into the factory."
Just as before when we came, the shelves were piled high with glass, and the dust was thick.
In the center was an open space, about a hundred square meters.
In the center stood an eerie statue, in front of which was a small altar. The series of offerings were all covered in dust, as if no one had come back for a long time.
My heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Kuang... has moved?
If we can't find his people, that would be a problem.
The reason I completely ignore Si Yan's opinions is that the people from Tian Shou Dao Guan are very difficult to deal with. A single Three Grandmaster almost killed me, and Zheng Ren couldn't even land a fatal blow. If we go to investigate Tian Shou Dao Guan, we could easily end up in trouble.
The brows were knitted together, and there was a sense of restlessness in the heart.
Just then, I suddenly felt a gaze, coming from the right side!
The careful watch was extremely cautious, yet still captured by me.
I turned my head abruptly, and what I saw was a wall! However, there was a crack in the wall, as if there was a face flashing by.
My heart suddenly leaped. The face was very ordinary, familiar, and could be recognized at a glance. It was Jiang Kuang.
How could he hide so stealthily?
Just as I was about to walk over there, a chilling sensation swept over me from behind!
Suddenly turning around, what I saw was a tall and thin man, dressed in a black Daoist robe!
He held a sword in both hands, his expression cold, and his eyes carrying a touch of killing intent. He rushed at me!
The rain on him indicated he had just entered the factory, and his posture was truly that of a fatal strike!
Lao Gong's reaction was lightning fast. He shouted loudly, "Master!"
I swept my hands from my waist, and in a deep voice, I roared: "Cut the evil ghost, end the killing!" Quickly, as if the Commander-in-Chief of Demons under Huangdu forgoes sin!”
Two copper swords shot out with a whoosh!
The man swung both swords fiercely, making a clanging sound, and sparks flew everywhere!
His demeanor grew colder, and after landing slightly, he shot out again with a fierce surge!
An eerie sight occurred; his figure vanished as if he had turned into a ghost...
Silently, a dense white mist appeared in the factory, with a piercing chill.
"A voice, slightly high-pitched and feminine, sounded from the right."
A feeling of gravity settled in my heart, followed by a sound of wind slicing through the air!
Without using any magical symbols.
Instead, I drew out the bronze staff and hammered it forcefully towards the right side!
"Hmph!"
A cold, icy hum echoed, making a crisp sound, yet without causing any sparks!
Following that, there was a cracking sound of breaking!
It seemed as if the sword was shattered like a broken branch!
"A sound of surprise just started, only to be replaced by a dull boom, as if several bones were broken..."
In the howling sound, it seemed something collided with a shelf, and the glass made a dense sound of shattering...
The white mist grew thicker, as if it was tinged with a faint bloodlust.
I placed the bronze staff on the ground with one hand, while with the other hand, I pinched my index finger and used the blood from my fingertip to mark the bronze staff.
"In the vastness of Fengdu, amidst the heavy mountain ranges of Jintong!"
"The boundless Light of the Lingbao, illuminating the agitated Fire Pool!"
"All souls in the Nine Yin World, their bodies following the incense clouds and banners!"
"Steadfast wisdom, the blue lotus flower, rising to divine eternal peace!"
The chanting sound of the spell was resolute and powerful, as if there was an invisible shockwave emanating from the bronze staff. The mist seemed to dissolve like ice melting away, disappearing without a trace...
The factory was once again shrouded in darkness, but it was visible that the man in the black Daoist robe, who had been looking extremely disheveled, lay sprawled before a shelf. Blood was gushing from his mouth, and there was a deep indentation on his chest.
The dilated eyes were filled with blood, and the look on his face was hard to believe.
"Who... are you?" he stammered, forcing the words out of his mouth.
I looked at him coldly and moved closer.
"Tian Shou Dao Guan?" I mused.
His pupils contracted slightly, which told me I was right.
"You're a Taoist from Tian Shou Dao Guan, yet you don't know who I am?" There was more thought in my eyes.
The eyes, filled with blood, looked very confused.
But in the next moment, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
He opened his mouth abruptly, and his tongue shot out. On the tip of his tongue, there was a meatball the size of a head, which popped out with a whoosh!
What was that thing on the tip of his tongue, it stank like heaven and earth, and there was a distorted face on it, flying towards me!
With this distance, I had no time to react and could only bite my tongue, spraying a jet of blood!
Sizzle!
The meatball was pierced and immediately dispersed without a trace...
However, I only felt a tingly sensation in my tongue, as if something was drilled into it...
A feeling of the scalp going numb surged upon me.
Is that the tumor!?
Before I knew it, the wall suddenly opened a door, and a person rushed out!
It was Jiang Kuang, wasn't it!
He had a fierce expression, but in his hand was a short blade, aimed directly at the Taoist from Tian Shou Dao Guan!
A slight sinking feeling in my heart, but I did not interfere. Instead, I moved aside, letting him pass.
Reaching the Taoist, Jiang Kuang plunged the blade down fiercely!
The Taoist was shocked and panic-stricken, trying to speak, but it was already too late!
A crisp snap echoed, and the short blade pierced through the Taoist's skull.
Jiang Kuang did not stop. He reached out, pinched the Taoist's mouth shut, and forced his tongue out. With his other hand, he grabbed the Taoist's tongue and pulled it out with great force!
A shriek could be heard, originating from the Taoist's tongue.
Instantly, the tingling sensation on my tongue vanished, and there was now a meatball on the Taoist's tongue.
Jiang Kuang released the Taoist's jaw, while with one hand, he quickly pulled out the short blade from the Taoist's head, with the tip of the blade flicking at his tongue!
A bloodied tumor, with a fine, long root, was pulled out from the tongue...
My brow furrowed tightly, and I felt a numb sensation in my scalp.
The moment the tumor hit the ground, it started to twist and crawl towards Jiang Kuang. In a flash, he pulled out a small bottle, covering the tumor with it. Once inside, he sealed it quickly with a talisman!
A series of actions, flowing like a cloud across the sky.
Suddenly, a grey shadow shot out from the Taoist's body, clearly a soul trying to flee!
I had just raised my hand when Jiang Kuang shouted fiercely, "Wanna run?!"
His shadow trembled and then stood straight up from the ground, enveloping the grey soul and sinking downwards into the earth!
The shadow on the ground was frantically wriggling, as if it was gnawing and devouring something...
Soon, it returned to tranquility...as if nothing had happened...
Only the empty, soulless body on the ground, and the glass shards piercing through him, told of the fierce struggle from just a moment ago!
