Using women as bait is not a new tactic, but it is very effective.
Most men aren't driven by lust; they simply have an unconscious tendency to protect vulnerable women, which can lower their guard against them.
These two had already killed three people with this trick, but they never expected to be defeated by Yang Cheng, and completely defeated.
The man was focused on escaping for his life and ran for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, he looked back and was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat.
His armor was almost exhausted, but his opponent was still relentlessly pursuing him.
And this is not some secret technique, but a powerful speed that is generated entirely by the extreme strength of the physical body.
The armor on his legs had begun to burn, and his speed instantly slowed down.
The man turned around and slashed with his sword. A black aura swirled around the blade, resembling a demon.
Yang Cheng met the attack with a slash, and the man was sent flying by the blow. However, the black energy on the blade coiled around Yang Cheng.
But the next moment, the sun shone brightly, and the black aura was completely extinguished and dissipated.
Seeing the vast gap between himself and Yang Cheng, the man had long since lost the courage to continue fighting.
He suddenly looked back and saw that there was a temple behind him.
This temple is strange; it doesn't seem to be Buddhist or Taoist. Inside, there is a large-bellied statue, but I don't know what it looks like.
The man suddenly remembered the hints from the assessment task.
You can survive in temples and Taoist monasteries, but if you fail to complete your mission, you'll still have to stay here.
So you can't fight in temples and Taoist monasteries? Are they safe havens for nighttime killings?
The man had no time to think and turned to step into the temple behind him. The temple door closed the next moment.
Yang Cheng chased to the temple gate but did not move; his gaze suddenly sharpened.
Because he could clearly hear a chewing sound coming from the temple, accompanied by a strong smell of blood!
The task description did mention that you could hide in temples or Taoist monasteries, but be careful not to enter the wrong temple or worship the wrong god.
It is obvious that these temples and Taoist monasteries are not absolutely safe; some are even extremely dangerous.
Yang Cheng was unsure what exactly was in the temple, so he decided to leave for the time being.
Since he already has five heads in his hands, there's no need for him to provoke someone whose background he doesn't know.
But Yang Cheng wanted to leave, and it seemed he hadn't had enough of the food in the temple and didn't want him to leave.
Just as Yang Cheng turned around, the temple door suddenly opened, and a long, scarlet tongue shot out, rushing straight towards Yang Cheng!
"court death!"
Yang Chengmeng turned around, his body radiating the light of the sun. The blade energy in his hand swept out, its sharp edge slicing the long tongue into several pieces, and he headed straight for the temple.
The temple reeked of blood, and instead of a statue, a gigantic monster, about three zhang tall, sat on the altar.
The monster was entirely crimson, with a round head and an enormous belly, but its limbs were incredibly thin, and its arms were covered in bone spurs.
The long, scarlet tongue swirled around its mouth; although Yang Cheng had cut it into several pieces, it did not affect its agility in the slightest.
The monster opened its mouth and let out a series of strange cries, while holding a human leg in its hand and chewing it greedily.
As soon as Yang Cheng rushed in, the monster opened its huge mouth, and an endless, bloody suction force rushed out, even forming a huge vortex.
Yang Cheng was surrounded by Buddhist light, and his blood gathered on the Imperial Guard's sword, turning into a talisman to ward off evil.
Following the suction force from the monster's gaping maw, Yang Cheng swung his sword directly!
Although the Sun-Changing Technique is an internal energy cultivation method, its properties are still very effective against the ghosts in the Evil Ghost City.
Therefore, after entering the Evil Ghost City, Yang Cheng used the Sun-Changing Technique very frequently.
However, this man-eating monster was clearly of an extraordinary level, and the Buddha's light of the Sun-Changing Technique had no effect on it whatsoever.
Just as Yang Cheng's blade reached the monster's mouth, the monster's mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing an insect-like proboscis organ surrounded by rings of sharp teeth.
The Imperial Guard's saber clashed with it, producing a loud bang.
The exorcism talisman failed for the first time in front of this thing; the power unleashed by the talisman was directly swallowed by it.
Moreover, Yang Cheng discovered that the other party's stomach was like a bottomless pit, emitting an extremely strong suction force, which could even devour the Buddhist light power unleashed by the Sun-Changing Technique.
The monster's two slender arms were covered with bone spurs. When it wrapped its arms around Yang Cheng, the menacing bone spurs instantly enveloped him.
The enormous mouthparts, connected to a scarlet tongue, also loomed over Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng retreated rapidly, unleashing a series of slashes with his Imperial Guard sword. The Five Thunder and Exorcising Talismans condensed before him and crashed down, but they were all swallowed whole by the monster.
Taking advantage of the lull in the fight with the monster, Yang Cheng summoned the shamanic demon Chang Cuiyun and the Five Wrathful Soldiers. One wrapped around the monster's head, while the other slashed at its stomach.
However, the monster's devouring power intensified once more, directly consuming and digesting all the spiritual power.
The most troublesome thing about this thing is that it can devour almost any power, even the power of Maoshan talismans, which are specifically designed to target ghosts. It is practically unsolvable.
Even though Yang Cheng had a strong physical body, he was very frustrated that he couldn't use his secret techniques, and for a while he was also helpless against this thing.
Forced to the temple gate, Yang Cheng looked at the monster's enormous belly and suddenly had a bold idea.
