If it weren't for Huahong blocking me, I might have already withstand the influence of the corpse bugs and found the Holy Paradise and Golden Chariot.
After all, my emotions have been stable for the time being, and although the effects of the corpse bugs are severe, they have not caused significant damage to me so far. I have persisted longer.
Huajiang is still laughing, his face carrying a trace of intoxication, more so a sign of illness.
This person is a poisonous snake in the sewer, a complete lunatic.
"Ta yi yang ming, liu jia zhi jing. Hao dang shi zhe, fei sha zou chen. Teng kong wan li, shao yang jiang jun. Fu dao feng xing, bu de liu ting. Ji ji ru lv ling." The incantation rose in his mouth abruptly.
Huajiang's expression darkened, his body tensioned up, ready to dodge!
My talisman paper shot out suddenly.
Each one didn't land on Huajiang.
Every talisman landed on the nearby trees or walls.
"Ha ha ha, you can't hit me, do you think I've been just standing here doing nothing for these few months?"
Before Huajiang's voice died down, he suddenly groaned heavily, his body twisted in a bizarre manner, his upper body leaning forward while his legs moved backward. His left and right arms were twisted to an extreme degree.
I stopped again, bending over, and with a swift movement of my hand, I grasped the Three Death Worms from the old Qin's head and hurled them at Huajiang with all my strength!
The moment the Three Death Worms touched his body, he had no strength to resist, and they were directly absorbed into him.
Fear emerged on Huajiang's face.
"The Chasing Wind Spell and other talisman papers, although different from the magic weapons, don't need to land on you."
I finished tremblingly, the insistent voice in my ear still lingering, and my legs snapped up. After sitting on the ground, I placed the female Yijian on my head and placed my hands on my knees, continuously concentrating and resisting that chaotic voice.
I don't know how many times I've recited the Five Pure Spell.
All the noise in my ears became a constant incantation.
I slowly opened my eyes, and finally, I couldn't hear those unwanted words.
Looking back at the hall, it was empty, with no one present...
In fact, I shouldn't have turned around, as there was definitely no one behind me.
It was still due to my inability to control...
Pulled my gaze back to the front, and saw someone lying flat on the ground.
He opened his mouth wide, staring with his eyes, or red, white, or blue. The three-colored corpse bugs were transparent and shining, constantly emerging from here and crawling back to other places.
The three Death Worms in the body are illusory. After seeing the real worms for a long time, they look like a fake at first glance.
Vaguely, one could see three worms, solid as reality, crawling within the illusions of the worms.
"Corpse Dan…… Mine……"
"Field Master… It's me…"
"Wu Jinluan…… On…… What do you think you have the right to…"
The muttering from Huajiang's mouth was intermittent, but he couldn't stand up. His body began to emit an unusual odor.
The odor was so strong that it ascended into the sky, causing people to retch continuously.
Even after experiencing so many battles between life and death, I still covered my nose with this odor, struggling to endure it.
This odor could be described as rank enough to smell for miles.
I wanted to leave but hesitated. I feared that if I left, the Three Death Worms of the old Qin would escape. I dare not touch them, as it took me great effort to control their restless movements with my own suppression. If I touch them again, there's no way it'll be as easy to calm them down this time.
Luckily, before I had much time to hesitate, I heard a hurried footsteps.
It was the two of them from the Holy Paradise and Golden Chariot, along with several disciples behind them.
When they approached, they were shocked and surprised.
"This... Mr. Hua?" Shenshao recognized Huajiang at a glance.
"Corpse Bugs... How could this be? Gag..." Jinluan covered his mouth, suddenly turning sideways, and vomiting profusely.
The other disciples couldn't hold it in either, bending over by the roadside and vomiting.
Only Shenshao, who remained tense, could still bear it.
"Use Tian Gongquan, enough to soak him in Tian Gongquan. Hurry." I coughed, speaking in a hoarse voice.
Shenshao stayed behind, while Jinluan and the other disciples hurriedly left.
They didn't take long to return, carrying a wooden basin filled with water sacs. They too were carrying water sacs on their bodies.
I took a deep breath and approached him, placing him into the wooden basin. The rest of them quickly poured the Tian Gongquan from the water sacs into the basin.
The illusory Three Death Worms had no effect on me.
Under the soaking of the Tian Gongquan, they melted away like ice and snow.
When Huajiang's entire body was submerged in the water, that repulsive smell disappeared by about nine tenths.
The three corporeal corpse bugs swam ceaselessly in the water.
"What exactly happened? How did Mr. Hua end up looking like this?" Shenshao furrowed his brow.
I remained silent for a moment, recounting what had happened with Huajiang.
Shenshao fell silent abruptly, his entire face covered in sweat, and his complexion turned dark gray.
Jinluan also looked unpleasant, struggling to find words for a moment.
The disciples looked at each other in confusion.
Huajiang's face slightly emerged from the water. He still looked the same with his eyes wide open and mouth agape, motionless.
"He's dead..." One of the disciples swallowed.
I remained silent, knowing as well as anyone that Huajiang was dead.
Normally, I have only seen the Three Death Worms disturb the human mind, causing a collapse in one's realm. To be honest, I haven't seen anyone die directly from the Three Death Worms.
Especially after using Tian Gongquan, which can eliminate the worms completely.
Han Jin was like that, and the senior uncle from Guqiang City, who held a high position in the lineage, was the same.
"It's a matter of insufficient realm," Shenshao sighed lightly.
"It seems that without the threshold of a true person, or if it were Master Cheng, no one could withstand the rampage of the Three Death Worms. Indeed, the saying 'smelly skin' is true. His soul dissipated and became the Three Death Worms, which were eradicated by Tian Gongquan, leaving only his smelly body." Jinluan had a full expression of admiration.
"Such a person has such a narrow mind, it's good that he's dead. He underestimated Master Luo's abilities and overestimated his own strength. He thought he had planned successfully, but if he had more time to calculate, he would have caused much trouble." Shenshao added one more sentence.
This matter should naturally be reported to Wu Jinlan.
He led several people, including He Lin'an, to climb up the mountain together.
The details were recounted by Shenshao.
Wu Jinlan's expression was complex and melancholic.
He Lin'an had a pale face and couldn't speak at all. He looked like he was in a daze.
"He thought that I had alienated him, forgotten his existence, and even believed that Ding Ruipo had suppressed him and the Daoist Academy had also suppressed him."
"That's not the case. He himself had problems. After suspecting the existence of the Corpse Dan, he wanted to follow, and his heart was full of deceit. I knew he had issues, but still, because of his contributions to our resistance against Ding Ruipo and us, I gave him a chance to continue working at the Academy. I thought after returning, I would use these things to temper his character a bit first, and then talk openly with him." Wu Jinlan sighed: "It's always greed that gets the better of me. It's always because of the Corpse Dan. Those many masters without rank, what about them? Do I Wu Jinlan have to be this Field Master?"
"He doesn't want to be the Field Master, he just wants the Corpse Dan. All these excuses are just to make him feel justified and proper." Wu Jinluan's evaluation was impartial and straightforward, without any personal emotions.
"Carry Mr. Hua back to the academy, and make public his behavior." Wu Jinlan said.
"This..." Hé Lín'ān hesitated for a moment before saying, "Field Master, please spare him some face. The deceased should be given priority."
