Chapter 451: Crushing All Obstacles! Blazing Inferno! Manipulator of Hearts!? The Lord of Mount Tai's Seal!

For no reason at all, Zhang Wei suddenly shivered. This “Senior Cao Cao” seemed even more terrifying than the evil entity before them.

Power surged through Li Yanchu’s body as he activated his Telekinetic Command, and several streaks of light shot forth from around him as he unleashed the Heaven-Illuminating Seal, Five-Dragon Wheel, Flying Smoke Sword! Ten Thousand Crows Urn, and Cloudpiercer. These were all artifacts of the pseudo-mythical fire lineage.

Intense flames engulfed the entire Daoist temple hall in an instant, as domineering divine fire, blazing sword-light, fire dragons, fire crows, and fire arrows were unleashed. It was a scene straight out of myth.

Blazing Inferno!

In an instant, the divine flames devoured all the corpses in the palace.

Boom

!

Divine fire clashed with the yin energy like oil splashing into icy water, resulting in a deafening explosion!

Zhang Wei held his breath, feeling a little excited.

It’s happening again! The man sets everything on fire!

Through the billowing sea of flames walked a handsome, ethereal young Daoist. His expression was cold and dignified, and in that moment, Xiao Ran found her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Li Yanchu’s back muscles rippled like a great dragon, drawing the Cloudpiercer into a full moon.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, thereafter the brilliant fiery arrow, together with the torrent of divine flames in the sky, instantly engulfed the two-headed, grotesque corpse.

“Amazing!” Zhang Wei shouted excitedly.

Suddenly, he felt a cold wind brush across the back of his head, sending a shiver down his spine and prickling his skin like countless needles.

Zhang Wei turned his head and saw a disheveled corpse face appear behind him; it was the same human head that had previously grown on the old monk and the corpse.

At this moment, the bizarre woman’s head slowly opened its eyes, a pair of grayish-white eyes locking onto Zhang Wei with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Just then, Zhang Wei felt his inner power suppressed, its flow stuttering, and a deep fear gripped him.

This human head had silently, without a sound, broken through his Taiji diagram.

In his eyes, everything around him began to recede, and the blazing firelight in the sky seemed irrelevant, as if cut off by some strange force. And Zhang Wei clearly saw that the fierce and dominant Daoist Master Li was now battling a two-headed corpse, still as brave and commanding as ever.

But now, that eerie human head had appeared beside him.

It’s a trap! This woman has been targeting me from the start!

A bolt of realization struck Zhang Wei’s mind.

Perhaps from the very first time the corpse had ambushed him, everything had already been set in motion. From that moment, he had been marked. This bizarre woman, an ancient taboo sealed in the Blissful Land by a Land Immortal, intended to use his body to resurrect herself.

Zhang Wei struggled to open his mouth, wanting to shout a warning to Senior Cao Cao, but his blood had gone rigid and icy, nearly ceasing to circulate. He could only watch helplessly as the jagged edges of the grotesque corpse head sprouted monstrous veins, reaching to merge with him.

Fear, helplessness, and despair washed over him. The young prodigy of a cultivation clan was completely enveloped by negative emotions, and he was utterly desperate.

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed his shoulder, yanking him forcefully back, and everything around him shifted rapidly.

“Hmph!” A cold snort thundered in his ears.

At this time, Zhang Wei was overjoyed to find he had regained control of his body.

Li Yanchu’s eyes were icy as he stared at the bizarre human head, his expression calm yet radiating lethal intent. Facing such a bizarre ability, he didn’t panic at all; instead, a murderous intent surged within him.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei felt his heart settle.

“Brother-in-law!”

He had always wanted to introduce his beautiful second sister to Li Yanchu, then he would become the brother-in-law of Senior Cao Cao. It would be a step closer to the pinnacle of life.

At that moment, so excited, he actually blurted out the title.

Even the domineering Li Yanchu couldn’t help but frown slightly at Zhang Wei’s words.

This guy is crazy. Who’s your brother-in-law!?

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he turned coldly to face the bizarre human head.

“With such an ability, no wonder the Land Immortal in the Blissful Land once sealed you in the Daoist temple hall.”

This human head could communicate, and it had its own consciousness. At that moment, it gave Li Yanchu a faint smile. The smile was rigid, cold, numb, so much so that it sent chills down the spine.

Meanwhile, Li Yanchu slowly sheathed the Jiaoslayer. Though it was effective against regenerative abilities, he had a better method for this kind of evil being.

An ancient seal rose from his hand, exuding an archaic aura. It was the Lord of Mount Tai's Seal!

The moment the seal appeared, the bizarre woman’s head flickered with a trace of fear. It was clear that she feared this ancient seal!

A piercing low growl erupted before the woman’s head vanished, and the surroundings shifted, transforming into the foot of a sacred mountain.

“Thinking of leaving now? Too late!” Li Yanchu smiled coldly.

The Lord of Mount Tai's Seal emanated an ancient aura.

Crack

! It sounded like a mirror shattering.

The scenery around them completely shattered, returning to the desolate, ruined Daoist palace from before.

The grotesque woman’s head was restrained by an invisible, overwhelming force. She struggled and howled, her face twisted with resentment and venom as the most malevolent and cruel negative emotions of the human world radiated from her expression.

But all was in vain.

This ability was terrifying, and even the Land Immortal, Daoist Spiritual Master Xie who wielded the peach blossom branch to slay dragons, could not kill her.

Now, however, she was suppressed by the power of the Lord of Mount Tai's Seal, unable to move at all. Her face softened into a pitiful expression, her grayish-white, pupilless eyes returning to normal. She became a young, delicate girl, a trace of panic in her gaze.

“Save me! I’m controlled by this evil spirit. Don’t kill me! Save me, let me go. I beg you, save me! I beg you!” The young girl pleaded desperately.

But the next moment, her face returned to the cold, eerie visage, and her eyes became grayish-white, numb and icy. And so it switched back and forth like this several times.

“Trying to probe the human heart?” Li Yanchu sneered coldly.

Another wave of ancient aura surged from the Lord of Mount Tai's Seal. The grotesque human head writhed in agony, and the young girl screamed miserably.

At this moment, Zhang Wei felt uneasy and whispered, “Senior, is there any way to save this woman?”

He even vaguely considered stepping in to stop Li Yanchu.

“This is an evil spirit’s spell to manipulate the human heart! Awaken, now!!” Li Yanchu’s voice thundered like an explosion.

He understood, in a way, the feeling of Sun Wukong in

Journey to the West

, being bossed around by Tang Sanzang, a mere mortal.

Zhang Wei felt struck by lightning, and his entire back was instantly soaked with sweat. Heart still racing, he glanced at the grotesque human head, almost falling under the evil spirit’s control.

In such a situation, how could a young girl appear out of nowhere! Even if she were real, what ability could she have to speak up and break the evil spirit’s suppression? Unless the evil spirit allowed her to appear.

The power of this demon was truly terrifying; manipulating the human heart was the real horror!

No wonder the immortal in the Blissful Land sealed it long ago, and why so many cultivation experts later met tragic deaths here. This evil spirit was far too fearsome!

Li Yanchu ignored Zhang Wei. His resolve was firm, his decisions sharp; his primordial spirit contained the purple-gold qi and the Fire Official’s Sacred Edict, unable to be corrupted by dark arts.

The ancient aura on the Lord of Mount Tai's Seal was like an invisible giant hand, directly crushing the grotesque human head.

Boom

!

The earth trembled and mountains shook as a massive shockwave spread outward!

The terrifying taboo that had wreaked havoc in the Blissful Land was utterly annihilated.
