in the edge

Chapter 550: The Land of Bliss
As the figure in the shadow stood up, Xiangtou and the young man could see clearly the official uniform of the other person.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Captain Du."

Seeing the official uniform, Xiangtou and the young man knew the identity of the visitor - although they were not quite sure how the new captain Du had sneaked in quietly, he was just a captain, which was nothing to them.

Of course, killing a captain of police in broad daylight would be a big trouble, so after the two men looked at each other, Xiangtou stretched out his hand directly to Captain Du in front of him.

"Since Captain Du is here, why don't you burn some incense as well?"

"Burning incense? For you?"

In response to the incense head, a bowl of noodle soup was thrown towards him.

The noodles were still boiling hot right out of the pot. If they were hit head-on like this, their skin and flesh would have been burned to pieces - but there was no sign of panic on Xiangtou's face. Instead, he simply raised his hand and pointed.

He just raised his hand and pointed, and the spilled soup noodles were suspended in the air. The steaming soup seemed to have lost the constraints of common sense and had no intention of falling to the ground at all.

"It seems that Captain Du has a bad temper."

The incense master waved his hand casually, and the soup bowl hanging in the air fell to the ground beside him, leaving only a ball of boiling soup hanging in the air, like a swimming dragon.

And there was already a hint of ferocity on the face of the incense boss.

"If you burn this incense today, we will all be brothers in the sect from now on. We won't have to worry about this little thing... But if you don't burn this incense today, do you think you can still leave this yard?"

Dang clang——

Along with the sound of the porcelain bowl smashing to the ground, the people outside who came to burn incense also heard the noise inside the house. Not knowing what was going on, they instinctively rushed over to see what was going on, but they happened to see the strange sight of a ball of soup hanging in the air.

Such a method is simply...

"Immortal magic! This is immortal magic!"

Those people who were burning incense were suddenly dumbfounded, and many of them even burst into tears on the spot. If there had not been a crowded scene at the door of the back hall, they would probably have knelt down on the spot.

But soon, they saw that there was another person in the back hall.

Just by looking at the official uniform, the common people who were burning incense were already filled with fear, especially seeing the official uniform in such an occasion, which made them even more terrified - after all, they themselves knew that kowtowing and burning incense were secret matters, and now they were caught alive on the spot by the people from the yamen...how could they tolerate it?
With something to hide, they naturally became more and more fearful. Although they were concerned about the knife on the waist of the captain of the police, these people who were burning incense did not dare to step forward, but there was already a hint of danger in their eyes.

Just like their leader, the incense master, said, if the police chief is really willing to burn an incense stick with them, then today's matter can be resolved. But if the police chief doesn't want to do that...

"So, you'd better be obedient. This will be good for both you and me."

The incense leader also felt the changes in the people, and there was a bit more contempt in his eyes when he looked at the captain.

"Indeed, you are a tiger-killing hero, but so what? How much salary can the government give you in a month? With just a few strings of cash, what are you risking your life for?"

"Ok?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment by this question.

He didn't quite understand where this Xiangtou got the confidence to talk to him like that. Even though this Xiangtou had just demonstrated his ability to apply mental power, this method could only be considered crude and he couldn't even defeat a master of evil spirits.

Where does this Xiangtou get the confidence to keep him here?
"Don't you know what you're in?"

"Don't you know what situation you are in now?"

The incense head simply asked back, and the ball of soup suspended in the air was faintly shining.

"Don't you see how many people are here? Do you think you can get out with just that sword?"

"No, you really don't know what situation you are in?"

Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

Then, he reached out and pulled out the chopsticks that were nailed to the center of the incense head.

The bloody red blood splashed onto the soup hanging in the air, quickly dyeing the soup bloody red.

It was at this time that the incense burner and even the people at the door realized what was happening.

"when will you?"

Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, Xiangtou raised his head in disbelief.

"How can it be?"

"Do I need to draw my sword to kill you?"

Du Chengfeng threw the chopsticks aside.

He really didn't know where this Xiangtou got his confidence from. He had been pierced by the chopsticks when he caught the soup noodles just now, but he still shouted at him with a confident look - if it was just this serious, he really didn't need to draw his sword, he could kill everyone present with just the chopsticks in his hand.

Of course, that being said, it is not something that will be done that way. After all, many of these people are being manipulated by this incense head. They just want to burn incense and pray for a reward, and they may not be in the same mind as this incense head.

He came this time just to find out the cause of death of the noodle stall owner, and then imprison or execute him if necessary.

This was as easy as eating a bowl of noodles.

But at this moment, Xiangtou, whose chest was bleeding, spoke again.

"How dare you, how dare you..."

Although blood was still gushing out of his chest, Xiangtou gradually straightened up.

"How dare you do this!"

"…Your body is so strong?"

Du Chengfeng looked at it in surprise, quite unexpected.

He had seen many tough guys, but this was the first time he had seen someone like this who had been fatally injured but still challenged him. In a sense, this was a rare tough guy, as many of the enemies he had fought were not so tough.

But immediately, Du Chengfeng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This is not being tough at all, this is clearly the effect of willpower!

With the help of mental strength, the incense head was able to suppress the body for a while and refused to die!
"May Maitreya bless you in the future!"

The incense head roared and suddenly pounced towards him!

This level of rough attack was naturally not a big problem for Du Chengfeng. He just raised his leg and kicked the incense head, who flew backwards - but now it was not just the incense head, the people outside the door had also rushed in.

Even though Du Chengfeng still had a knife on his waist, there was no fear on the faces of these people. The fear of the officials and weapons had completely disappeared from their eyes, and was replaced by an lingering madness!

"May Maitreya bless you in the future!"

In just a moment, these people swarmed over, and the more than ten arms closest to them had already grabbed Du Chengfeng from all directions!
Even though the sword at Du Chengfeng's waist was already three inches out of its sheath, they had no intention of stopping.

"you……"

After taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng put the blade back into the sheath.

On the one hand, it was because the sword was made of ordinary iron and was useless if it was pulled out. On the other hand, he didn't need to draw the sword at all - no matter how many people were in front of him, they were just a group of ordinary people. At this level, he didn't even need to move his hands.

"Get out of the way!" Du Chengfeng shouted with his eyes wide open.

The invisible force suddenly burst out, it was a mental strength even more violent than Xiangtou's. If the mental strength skills displayed by Xiangtou could already cut off a small tree, then what Du Chengfeng was using now was a raging storm that could uproot an entire forest.

Under the influence of this enormous force, all the people who came to burn incense were nailed in mid-air, and their outstretched arms were frozen in place, unable to move forward any further.

But Du Chengfeng's face darkened.

It shouldn't be like this.

This isn't supposed to be the case.

Originally, in his estimation, these people who were burning incense should have been blown away by the excitement of this mental force, which would have stabilized the current chaotic situation without harming the lives of these people. But now, the expected scene did not appear, and none of these people who were burning incense were blown away.

Du Chengfeng could feel that there was some kind of force that was fighting against him.

The taste of that power is very familiar.

Weak, but quite firm.

This is the taste of effort!

The people who are burning incense here right now are actually using their mental energy!

"Do you think you can do anything with just those martial arts skills?"

It was at this moment that Xiangtou, who was covered in blood, stood up again shakily.

"Do you think you can kill me with this ability?"

As he said this, the incense head actually took out a handful of incense sticks, and then lit the incense sticks directly with the candlelight beside him.

In just a moment, the aroma of incense became strong.

After smelling the scent of the incense, the expressions of the people became more and more crazy.

Likewise, the mental energy entangled with them became increasingly vigorous.

“This smell…”

Du Chengfeng frowned just after sniffing it.

"You actually mixed Wushisan into the incense sticks!"

"Five Stone Powder? This isn't the crappy stuff."

Xiangtou sneered.

"This is the blessing of Maitreya, a sharp weapon that can kill warriors like you! May Maitreya bless you!"

With a loud shout, the incense head actually stabbed the incense sticks in his hand directly into his chest!

Then, the incense burner's expression began to become crazy.

"Maitreya has come to the world! The Pure Land!"

"Maitreya has come to the world! The Pure Land!"

"Maitreya has come to the world! The Pure Land!"

Those people who were burning incense also started to shout, and the originally noisy shouting gradually began to become uniform. Along with the shouting, the originally misty incense smoke had unknowingly become thicker, even making the entire back hall pitch dark!

All he could see was a gray haze. Even Du Chengfeng could hardly see the surroundings clearly.

This is even more wrong.

You have to know that although Du Chengfeng looks no different from an ordinary person at the moment, he is actually still using that body of steel. In other words, compared to the vision brought by his eyes, he actually relies more on his own perception to control the surrounding environment - but now, with the spread of the incense smoke, his perception has even been confused, as if the surroundings are no longer the hall just now, but a large empty space.

"There is actually such a method..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Originally, he had thought that this incense boss was just exaggerating out of ignorance when he said he wanted to keep him. But now it seems that this incense boss was not completely without reason to make such a boast - at least with this one trick revealed, if an ordinary master of evil spirit came here, he would have been killed without a burial place long ago.

But if it were him, it would be a different story.

A sharp blade poked out from the smoke and got stuck in the blind spot of his vision. The sharp blade silently pierced directly into Du Chengfeng's waist - but this fatal blow was meaningless, just because the blade stabbed over and made a sound of metal clashing.

Even if he stood here and poked her, there was no way she could break through her defense. This was the confidence that gave Du Chengfeng the courage to stand carefree in the fog.

"But...how do we get out?"

Looking at the gray fog in front of him, Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

He tried to walk in the direction of the door frame, but he couldn't touch anything. It was as if the hall just now had completely disappeared, replaced by a gray and empty space. There was nothing in this gray fog, nothing existed. If there must be something, it would probably only be the blades that were chasing and stabbing him.

The blade clanged as it stabbed into his body, and the noisy sound made Du Chengfeng more and more irritated.

"No, this gray fog is affecting my mentality!"

Du Chengfeng was keenly aware of the change in his mood, and his gaze towards the gray fog became more cautious.

Obviously, this method was far more troublesome than he had expected.

Even his state of mind would be affected... This gray fog didn't seem like something that a group of ordinary people could control!
And there is the Maitreya, a name I have never heard of...

What is the origin of this strange sect?
"But do you think you can trap me with this kind of thing?"

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng clasped his palms together.

Indeed, the gray fog itself is extremely dangerous.

But unfortunately, the person who is controlling this gray fog right now is not a strong man who has experienced many battles.

No matter how dangerous the power is, it must be divided among those who use it.

Just like Du Chengfeng, even if he doesn't use any strength, he can break everything in front of him with pure mental strength.

"open!"

As Du Chengfeng clapped his palms, his heavy mental strength exploded like a raging wave.

And the lingering gray fog disappeared in an instant.

"You're interesting."

Seeing that everything within his sight had returned to normal, Du Chengfeng picked up the incense stick.

But what he picked up was just a corpse.

I don't know when the incense head had died.
