Chapter 61: Achievement Unlocked: The Evil God’s Friendship

People in ancient times said, when a storm is coming, the wind fills the tower.

The army of the Evil God Cult had not yet arrived, but all sorts of strange troubles appeared like flies that recognized a pit of dung by smelling it, and swarmed over.

Li Si’s experience was a little lacking, and he almost fell into a trap.

In just half an hour, twelve ordinary people died or were severely injured because their mood swings attracted Little Mushrooms.

Another forty-seven people, because of delusions in their hearts, triggered other disasters.

Although the Temple Three Dogs acted decisively and brought people to suppress the chaos, most of them could not be saved.

Li Si was very worried, but he did not dare to take action.

One could imagine how plentiful the mushrooms around Kao Mountain Town were now, but that powerful enemy could appear at any moment, and he could not risk big losses for small gains.

Fortunately, the Temple Three Dogs had rich experience and immediately told all the ordinary people to control their mood swings, and not to have greed, desire, anger, and other thoughts.

During this time, Ma Jinzhong and Zhang San also performed admirably.

Ma Jinzhong was reserved and kept some methods to himself, but Zhang San firmly grasped the life-saving straw that Li Si threw to him. He had no interest in rebuilding the Lanshan Sect; he only wanted to protect his family.

So, Zhang San used his kind of Dispelling Talisman, and actually saved four ordinary people who were being attacked by Little Mushrooms. His neighbors and people on the street saw this and began to follow Zhang San spontaneously. In the blink of an eye, he gathered several hundred people.

If Li Si had not used the Divine Decree in time, Zhang San’s group would have truly become outlaws, actually wanting to fight with Ma Jinzhong’s Black-Armored Warriors.

One could only say, where there is oppression, there is resistance!

Ma Jinzhong’s Black-Armored Warriors were usually sidelined by the Temple’s power and had to do the dirty work, committing all sorts of bad deeds. People used to be angry but dared not speak up, but now, with the seemingly formidable Zhang San leading them, the momentum was completely different.

Just like that, without Li Si doing anything, Kao Mountain Town now split into three factions.

The Temple faction led by the Temple Three Dogs.

The Black-Armored Warriors led by Ma Jinzhong.

The ordinary people faction led by Zhang San.

Luckily, before the situation could worsen further, the enemy arrived, and they came with great force.

The blood-red clouds in the entire sky suddenly burst open, and three streaks of blood-red light shot through the air faster than the eye could follow. Just the aura alone was like a huge wave, overwhelming and covering everything.

At this moment, in Kao Mountain Town, from the top, Gentleman on the Roof Beam Li Si, down to the common people, including the Temple Three Dogs, the fake coin enthusiast Ma Jinzhong, and the outlaw Zhang San, every single one was suppressed to the point where they could not even breathe, and their thoughts became blank. Resistance? What was that?

If those three streaks of blood-red light wanted to slaughter the town at this moment, it would have been very easy.

However, there was not a single person in the entire town with Golden Core cultivation, so the three streaks of blood-red light naturally assumed the mastermind was not here.

Then, the primary goal was to destroy the Divine Idol that had stolen another’s place.

Killing ordinary people would be useless, as the Evil God Cult side had already figured out Li Si’s method of causing trouble. This could be said to be a huge loophole, but it was likely that this loophole would soon be fixed.

“Boom!”

The Wish-Fulfilling Pearl that was scouting high in the sky did not even have time to withdraw before it was directly tainted by the bloody aura, falling down like a dead body.

There was just one word for it—tragic, and it was never said a fifth time!

Almost at the same time, the Temple next door exploded completely, and that Divine Idol directly… well, the Tianji Array Rune was activated. When a True Immortal acted, even if it was trash, it was still trash in the hands of a True Immortal.

The Tianji Seven Spirits Slaughter Array erupted, and instantly, the seven Divine Abilities of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder struck down in turns.

The three streaks of blood-red light were as arrogant as they were when they came, and now they were completely embarrassed.

They were caught off guard and suffered a heavy blow, but this was still far from enough to kill them.

In an instant, the three streaks of blood-red light transformed into three Blood Crows.

Blood-red light was like the sea, a great curtain covering the sky—they were about to use a supreme Divine Ability to break free.

Logically, this should have been very easy, just the matter of one breath.

But the problem was, Li Si also returned to normal at this moment, and the Steadfast Mountain Seal attached to his Heart Cleansing Curse instantly freed him from the control.

Without even thinking, he immediately threw out three Heart Cleansing Curses, hitting those three Blood Crows.

Normally, even if it was an advanced Divine Ability, it would not actually be able to hit them.

Unfortunately, with the Tianji Seven Spirits Slaughter Array restraining them, the three Blood Crows with strength comparable to Nascent Soul immediately fell for it. Even though they were so angry they quickly dispelled the curses, it still delayed their chance to break the array.

Another round of the seven Divine Abilities—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—struck down. Well, this was not the advanced Divine Ability that Li Si knew, but a Primal Divine Ability.

Otherwise, how could it heavily injure an enemy at the Nascent Soul level?

Instantly, the three Blood Crows were badly injured and in terrible shape; their overwhelming blood-red light flickered, growing dim and bright, large and small.

Just as they were gathering their remaining strength to break the array again, Li Si threw out three Iron Prison Disciplines.

This still could not do much to the three Blood Crows. Even though Li Si strengthened them to advanced Divine Abilities, at best they could only bind them for one second. Even the judgment of Hellfire was ineffective and could not suppress them at all.

This was because the gap in cultivation was more than one level!

But that one second was enough to hold them back from continuing to break the array, and it was enough for Li Si to throw out three more Heart Cleansing Curses, then Iron Prison Disciplines, then Heart Cleansing Curses again, and then Iron Prison Disciplines again.

Do not ask why he kept doing this over and over. If asked, the answer was that these two Divine Abilities could continuously stack and lock-on effects.

Truly, aside from this, his other Divine Abilities could not even burn a single feather off the enemy!

Moreover, his Magic Power recovery could not keep up.

This continued for a while, and after the three rounds of attacks from the Tianji Seven Spirits Slaughter Array ended, the array began to fade. It was also at this moment that the lock-on effects on the three Blood Crows had stacked to a very high degree.

Normally, they would not let this kind of malicious lock-on remain, but now they had been solidly beaten by the three rounds of the Tianji Seven Spirits Slaughter Array and had no choice but to take it, with heavy injuries and looking terrible, so at this moment they only wanted to turn around and escape, to fight another day.

“Boom!”

The Tianji Seven Spirits Slaughter Array broke, but at the same time, the Hidden Sword Spirit Rune that Li Si had held ready also burst forth, locking onto the three Blood Crows. In an instant, nine Fiend-Slaying Sword Qi appeared in the sky, with rolling sword shadows hovering over a thousand meters high, like the towering Kunlun Mountains hanging upside down in the heavens!

The sharp killing intent firmly locked onto the three Blood Crows.

At this moment, the three Blood Crows were so scared they almost peed, hurriedly giving up one of their life-bound feathers wrapped in thick blood-red light. This was a method to avoid a fatal attack, and it instantly drew the nine Fiend-Slaying Sword Qi off course!

But here came the advantage of Li Si’s earlier frantic stacking of Heart Cleansing Curses. Layer by layer, the Steadfast Mountain Seals lit up on the three Blood Crows. These were like gold bugs in the dark, fireflies in the fields, natural colors on the great plain—the effect of drawing aggro was simply explosive!

Even though the three Blood Crows wanted to erase these Steadfast Mountain Seals, it was too late. The nine Fiend-Slaying Sword Qi would not wait in place; in the blink of an eye, they descended with a boundless storm of sword energy.

For a moment, the entire Temple, and even most of the lord’s manor, were shredded. Li Si almost went from being a Gentleman on the Roof Beam to mincemeat on a plate!

It was too terrifying!

It felt like life had reached its end.

That terrifying mass of sword energy shredded everything for a full three seconds before slowly dispersing, and the three Blood Crows were nowhere to be seen. Only a large pit remained in the spot.

A series of good news and bad news appeared at the same time.

“Your Statue Avatar was destroyed by you, so you lost 100 portions of Black Fortune. It has been deducted.”

“You have been cursed by the Evil God’s Bloodline Divine Emissary.”

“Curse ×3.”

“Aberrant Corruption Degree +600%! Formed a Super-Lethal Aberrant Corruption!”

“Your Heart-Clearing Domain resisted the Super-Lethal Aberrant Corruption, converting it into Lethal Aberrant Corruption.”

“Your Disaster-Averting Domain resisted the Lethal Aberrant Corruption, converting it into Severe Aberrant Corruption.”

“Your Flawless Dao Body resisted the Severe Aberrant Corruption, converting it into Mild Aberrant Corruption.”

“Aberrant Corruption +50%”

“You killed the Evil God’s Bloodline Divine Emissary ×3. You obtained 1,200 portions of White Fate Firewood. You obtained three Divine Plumages.”

“You obtained three drops of diluted Evil God descendant blood. You can use the Fate Forge to smelt them, and you can obtain 300 portions of White Fate Firewood.”

“You obtained three divine corpses. You can use the Fate Forge to smelt them, and you can obtain 600 portions of White Fate Firewood.”

“You obtained the Evil God’s ‘Friendship’.”
