Chapter 232 Wrath, Taking Action Personally
Chapter 232 Wrath, Taking Action Personally
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
Xuanjizi suddenly stood up, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white, his tone filled with boundless rage, his voice hoarse and violent, echoing throughout the secret chamber, even penetrating the walls of the chamber and spreading throughout the entire Xuanzhen Temple!
"Useless trash! I sent you two pieces of trash to hunt down the murderers and bring back their heads, and you couldn't even handle such a small task, instead losing your own lives! Trash! What a bunch of useless trash!"
He looked down at the jade tablet fragments on the ground, his whole body trembling violently, his eyes almost overflowing with killing intent.
Although Lingtai and Lingyu were not his most capable disciples, they had cultivated with him for many years and were quite strong. Moreover, they possessed magical artifacts such as the Soul-Suppressing Bell and the Soul-Devouring Banner, which should have been more than enough to deal with some powerful people.
But he never expected that these two good-for-nothings would be killed by the other party, and even their life tablets were shattered!
Amidst his anger, a sense of gravity crept into Xuanjizi's heart. He knew his disciples' strength well, and he also knew the ferocity of that evil dragon—a dragon he had painstakingly raised and refined over decades, possessing immense power that ordinary people were no match for. With Lingtai and Lingyu working together, plus magical artifacts like the Soul-Suppressing Bell and the Soul-Devouring Banner, their strength was truly formidable...
But now, the evil dragon has been killed, and Lingtai and Lingyu have also been killed. This shows that the murderer who killed the evil dragon and his two disciples is definitely not simple and is not an ordinary person.
The person who could kill the evil dragon and his two powerful disciples at the same time must be either a powerful righteous figure or a powerful evil cultivator who also practiced evil arts. Either way, they would be a threat to him.
"You dare kill my dragon, you dare offend me, Xuanjizi! No matter who you are, no matter what your strength is, you deserve to die!" Xuanjizi muttered, his eyes filled with a mixture of killing intent and solemnity. "It seems I can't subdue you without using my true abilities. Since these two good-for-nothings can't handle things, I'll have to take matters into my own hands!"
Having cultivated for so many years, he had always been proud and arrogant, and had never been provoked like this before—the killing of the dragon and the tragic death of his disciple were not only losses, but also an insult to his Xuanzhen Temple and to Xuanjizi!
He had to personally kill the murderer, take his head, and refine his soul in order to quell his anger, demonstrate his authority, and let the world know that offending Xuanjizi meant certain death!
"Bang!"
Xuanjizi suddenly raised his hand, gathering a dark and sinister power in his palm, and slammed it hard against the door of the secret chamber.
The heavy stone door was struck hard by this force and instantly shattered, with fragments flying everywhere towards the outside.
The door to the secret chamber was blasted open, and a dense, sinister aura surged out, intertwining with the Taoist spiritual energy within the Xuanzhen Temple to form a strange current that swept through the entire temple.
Xuanjizi slowly walked out of the secret chamber, wearing a blue Taoist robe embroidered with Bagua symbols. His face was still thin, but his eyes were blood red. His aura was strong and violent, and his evil energy was almost solidified, making the surrounding air slightly stagnant.
He looked up towards the back mountain of Xuanzhen Temple, a cold, ruthless glint in his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice, "Mo Yu, come out!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that resonated throughout the entire back mountain of Xuanzhen Temple.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp screech echoed through the back mountain. Immediately afterward, a dark figure sped out of the forest behind the mountain, its wings flapping and creating a whistling sound as it landed in front of Xuanjizi in an instant.
This is a huge, strange bird, entirely black with glossy feathers. Its wingspan is over ten feet, its sharp claws gleam with a cold light, its eyes are bloodshot, saliva drips from its mouth, and it is surrounded by a dense, sinister aura, exuding a ferocious aura that sends chills down your spine!
This is the Ink Feather Bird that Xuanjizi raised in the Yinhan Cave in the back mountain. It is his mount and one of his combat forces. It is extremely fast and is good at attacking enemies with Yin and evil energy. It is very powerful.
The black-feathered bird landed in front of Xuanjizi, obediently lowered its head, and let out a low hiss, clearly showing great respect for Xuanjizi.
It knew that its master was furious at the moment, and if it was not careful, it would be killed on the spot by Xuanjizi and turned into nourishment for his cultivation of evil arts.
Xuanjizi nodded in satisfaction, then leaped up and landed steadily on the back of the Ink Feather Bird.
The black-feathered bird let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings, and slowly rose up, hovering in mid-air, awaiting Xuanjizi's command.
Then, Xuanjizi turned to look in the direction of the Yinhan Cave behind Xuanzhen Temple, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, chanting obscure Taoist incantations, his tone cold and violent: "Soul-Devouring Banner, emerge!"
As the incantation was recited, a jet-black stream of energy surged out from the Yinhan Cave and flew rapidly toward Xuanjizi. Upon landing, the energy transformed into a black soul banner—this soul banner was even larger and more bizarre than the Soul-Devouring Banner in Lingyu's hand!
The banner was embroidered with dense skull runes, and a jet-black skull hung from the top. Countless ghosts were wrapped around the banner, emitting mournful screams. Most striking was a pitch-black, sinister monster that coiled in the center of the banner. The monster's body was twisted, its face was ferocious, its eyes were bloodshot, and it was surrounded by a dense aura of evil, exuding an extremely terrifying and ferocious aura.
This is Xuanjizi's natal Soul-Devouring Banner, forged from countless Yin spirits in the Yin-Cold Cave over decades. The evil monsters on the banner are formed by the devouring and fusion of countless Yin spirits, making them incredibly powerful. They can devour souls and corrode flesh, making them several times more dangerous than the Soul-Devouring Banner in Lingyu's hands. It is one of Xuanjizi's most powerful magical artifacts, which he rarely uses except when encountering a truly formidable enemy.
The Soul-Devouring Banner slowly flew to Xuanjizi's front, hovering in mid-air. The sinister monster on the banner let out a low roar, its eyes full of ferocity, yet it dared not make the slightest move, clearly extremely wary of Xuanjizi.
Xuanjizi raised his hand, gently grasping the flagpole of the Soul-Devouring Banner. He infused a wisp of sinister power into his fingertips, and the skull runes on the banner instantly lit up. The screams of the vengeful spirits grew increasingly shrill, and the aura of the sinister monster became even more overwhelming...
