Just as Gu Xu tried to break down the door, the expressions of the ghosts and monsters who had followed him changed.
We can't let them in—
They broke the taboo and blasphemed the gods—
Kill them!
The dozen or so people who had initially let them leave caught up with them again.
"The gods will punish us!"
"If you want to die, die on your own! Why drag us into this!"
"You should all commit suicide. You'll have to bear the consequences of your own actions. Don't be so selfish!"
"Who told you to pretend to be kind? You brought this on yourselves." Someone brandished a knife tip that gleamed coldly.
Han Fenghua blocked Cheng Jingru behind her and smiled bitterly, "This is it. My cultivation level is low to begin with, and I'm not good at hand-to-hand combat. I can't beat them at all."
Cheng Jingru was also at a loss. The magic she had learned was for killing ghosts, but it was ineffective against ordinary people.
Gu Xu kicked the door hard and found that it was already a bit loose.
Behind him, a dozen or so men rushed up with knives.
He quickly turned around and kicked the two men who were charging at the front back.
"I'll handle this. You guys hurry up and break down the door!"
Han Fenghua quickly realized what was happening and continued to bang on the door.
However, Cheng Jingru discovered that the ghosts and monsters that had been keeping their distance from her were now attacking her.
She was so frightened that she forgot to swing her magic sword. Gu Xu heard the scream, turned back, raised the magic sword in her hand, and cut off the ghostly claw that was reaching out.
Because of this momentary lapse in concentration, he was stabbed in the arm, and blood gushed out instantly.
The people, blinded by rage, had completely lost their reason. Seeing Gu Xu injured, they attacked even more frantically.
Gu Xu looked up at the ghosts above him and a thought popped into his mind: those things were afraid of his blood.
"May I borrow your magic sword?" He smeared blood on the magic sword, raised it, and charged forward.
He fought off the people while simultaneously wielding his sword to slay the demons.
In an instant, both humans and ghosts were forced back several meters by him.
Han Fenghua stared in disbelief, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I've been practicing Taoism for over ten years since I was a child, yet I'm still not as good as an ordinary person."
Cheng Jingru pursed her lips. "Senior Brother Han, since Mr. Gu has bought us some time, let's break down the door quickly!"
After repeated impacts, the door was finally about to open.
Cheng Jingru turned around and excitedly shouted, "Mr. Gu, Senior Brother Han, the door is open!"
Then she saw Gu Xu's figure completely swallowed up by the crowd and ghosts.
Han Fenghua quickly shoved her, "Hurry up and go inside!"
Cheng Jingru rushed in, followed closely by Han Fenghua, who closed the second door to the inner room.
——
Cheng Jingru looked at what Ming Zhuo was holding and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Unconsciously drawn to that thing, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister, what is this? It's so beautiful!"
Mingzhuo frowned; there was an unusual aura emanating from behind her.
Cheng Jingru suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Mr. Gu is still behind us..."
"Get out of the way!"
Ming Zhuo's expression changed drastically. He rushed over the pile of corpses, opened the door to the inner room, and then rushed out through the broken second door, where he saw Gu Xu.
He had several wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained red with blood. His eyes were sharp and cold as he swung his magic sword at the evil spirits above his head time and time again.
The stark contrast between the bright red blood and the snow-white skin creates a powerful visual impact.
The ghosts feared his blood, but were also thoroughly enraged, and frantically urged a dozen or so people to rush up.
Those people seemed impervious to pain; they would drive back one group only to have another rush in, and it never ended.
Gu Xu hesitated to act, as he couldn't very well kill all these ordinary people.
Mingzhuo had never been so angry before. He rushed in and unleashed several Heavenly Thunder Talismans, which blasted the ghosts into a rage, burning them to ashes. The few remaining ghosts that managed to escape also scattered.
As for the ordinary people, she pointed the recording device around her neck at their faces and sneered, "Come on, if you dare, we're recording a variety show. We'll record your ugly faces for the whole country to see."
Some people covered their faces in fear, while others steeled themselves and thought, "Then I might as well kill you too."
That way, no one would know they had made a deal with evil spirits.
"Kill them, come and kill them all! So what if there are more of you?!" He Wangyao also came over.
He also urged the cameramen following them, "Quickly point the camera at them, such good footage must be included in the program."
Meng Tiange was stunned by what he saw: "Have you all gone mad?"
The crew members came over one after another. When the group saw so many people, their hearts sank. Then, when they saw what these people were wearing, their hearts sank even further.
Some wept bitterly, some repented and prayed, some said I did nothing, and some turned around and accused me of having a heartache.
These people were all injured by Gu Xu, but they were blinded by desire and went crazy. In essence, they were still just mortals.
With this moment of relaxation, they all cried out in pain.
Mingzhuo stepped forward and kicked the dog lying on the ground. "Too late to try and scam me now!"
The middle-aged man screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Aren't you Xuanmen people forbidden from attacking ordinary people? You've violated the sect rules!"
Mingzhuo: "You know so much."
As he was saying this, he simply kicked the other person and broke their bones.
"Ouch!!! That hurts!!!"
"Shut up!" Mingzhuo threw a mute talisman over, and the world finally returned to silence.
Everyone else stared at her in horror, finally realizing that the person in front of them was no saint.
