No taboos in the world

Chapter 39 If you dare to come, I will kill you!

Chaotian Temple.

It was originally a Taoist temple, which was abandoned for a long time until the White Lotus Sect reoccupied it and made some repairs, and it became an important stronghold of the White Lotus Sect.

And now, members of the White Lotus Sect filled the Chaotian Temple, and a ceremony was being held in front of the statue altar.

There is no need to say much about the evil stance of the White Lotus Sect, but in order to fool the people, it still needs a fig leaf.

But many things cannot be covered up once they are done, so the White Lotus Sect is extremely cautious when recruiting people.

Hong Chen didn't understand the rules of the White Lotus Sect, but he had seen another similar form of organization.

Generally speaking, this kind of organization needs people who are easily influenced, lack independent opinions, and are extremely obedient.

In other words, the so-called initiation ceremony is itself a test of obedience.

Yellow Talisman Water.

Burnt paper ashes, soaked talisman paper, gray incense ashes and water mixed together.

It won’t kill anyone by drinking it, and even people with stronger constitutions won’t get diarrhea.

But the nausea is real, so the decision of whether to drink or not is enough to judge many things, such as whether you are sincere in joining the religion, whether you are too opinionated, whether you are willing to obey other orders in the future, etc.

Of course Hong Chen wouldn't drink it.

Taking the bowl, he glanced at the statue.

The clay statue has golden light on its head, as if the real god has descended.

It’s a pity that there is a big word “kill” in the golden light.

"Hah!" Hong Chen was delayed for only a second when the person presiding over the ceremony began to urge him in a stern voice.

Hong Chen smiled and asked, "Brother, if I say now that I regret it, would you be willing to let me go?"

"Huh? How dare you play tricks on me!"

"I'm not kidding you, I just suddenly feel that I don't really want to join the White Lotus Sect."

"How dare you insult the Holy Church? Give me..."

The words were not finished.

Hong Chen suddenly stood up and punched him right in the throat.

The White Lotus members were killed on the spot.

Hong Chen did not stop and pose. He reached out and drew the knife from the other party's waist, then stabbed the White Lotus sect member standing next to Aunt Thirteen in the throat with a backhanded knife.

The blood splattered on Aunt Thirteen's face, making her shiver violently. She reached out to touch it, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

Hong Chen stabbed the person next to him to death again, and threw the body in the direction where Thirteenth Aunt fell, just right for her to take the blame.

The two essential elements of Wangba Fist have been mentioned before, but if the fist is replaced by a weapon, the best reference is the war in the cold weapon era.

It is generally believed that in wars during the cold weapon era, once the army's casualties reached more than 10%, morale would be severely damaged and the army would face the risk of collapse, that is, "abandoning armor and dragging away soldiers." Unless there was a famous general who was good at commanding the army and had great prestige, such an outcome was almost inevitable.

The White Lotus Sect was obviously not qualified to be compared with the army.

The only thing that makes them superior to the mob is that the religious brainwashing in the feudal and superstitious era has enabled them to develop a seemingly brave and fearless fighting style.

For example, now.

It cannot be said that Hong Chen’s swordsmanship is the best in the world, but he has killed people with a knife too many times, so he is quite experienced.

It would be unwise to use two swords against each other because he is fighting a round-robin battle.

Therefore, when facing the enemy's knife, he always evaded it. However, once the opportunity arose, his knife would kill the enemy instantly like a poisonous snake.

However, the falling corpses did not make these White Lotus sect members too afraid.

While they were shouting "divine power protect you", they continued to attack Hong Chen.

Even though some of them had begun to get scared, they continued to move forward under the encouragement of those around them.

This is the horror of blind obedience, and it is also the significance of the screening ceremony of initiation.

At this moment, if it were an ordinary person, even if he knew that the core of the White Lotus Sect is deception and brainwashing, he would probably be shocked by the performance of these people.

But today is different.

Hong Chen stood in front of Aunt Thirteen, with his back to the statue, and did not retreat a single step.

It is not only to protect Aunt Thirteen, but also to firmly express one's attitude to this group of people.

You dare to come!
I dare to kill!

At the same time, those who dared to die must be senior members of the White Lotus Sect. Every time one of them died, Jiugong Zhenren would feel sad.

Hong Chen didn't know how the other party appeared in the statue's belly, but he could guess that there must be some mechanism.

He was really afraid that if he attacked directly, he would scare the other party away.

So, this is also a trap.

Even if Jiugong Zhenren didn't feel sorry for these believers, Hong Chen would lose his prestige if he killed so many people today and still left. This would be fatal to the White Lotus Sect, which relies on brainwashing and control. As Hong Chen was killing, he felt his trouser legs move.

He raised his leg and was about to do a Tai Chi "kick" backwards, but fortunately he reacted in time and stopped the kick the moment it came out.

Thirteenth Aunt stared blankly at the sole of the shoe that stopped in front of her, feeling the strong wind blowing her hair in the wind, and she was so scared that tears flowed uncontrollably.

Looking ahead, the ground was covered with corpses forming a semicircle, almost forming a battlefield.

In front of Hong Chen, most people had retreated to the door in fear, leaving only one person who was crying and shouting, but still waving a big knife in his hand.

Thirteenth Aunt was both afraid and filled with pity.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Hong Chen move sideways, the blade of the knife fell from his nose, and his own knife accurately penetrated the opponent's heart.

He drew his knife and the body fell.

Looking up, everyone stepped back.

"Are you not leaving yet?" Hong Chen shouted.

In an instant, a group of people dropped their knives and turned around and ran away.

However, after the crowd dispersed, a little girl was still standing there.

She seemed not to notice the corpses on the ground. She just stared into Hong Chen's eyes and moved forward firmly step by step.

"I have magical powers to protect me, I am not afraid of you!" A childish voice sounded.

The next second, before Hong Chen could react, Aunt Thirteen sat up and hugged Hong Chen's legs.

"No! Ah Chen, let her go!"

Hong Chen's face twitched, "Did I say I wanted to kill her?"

Thirteenth Aunt didn't believe it. Instead of letting go, she held her daughter even tighter.

Hong Chen looked at the little girl who came in front of him.

There really wasn't a trace of fear in her eyes.

The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

And such micro-expressions really scared Aunt Thirteen.

She let go of Hong Chen, forced herself to stand up with her weak legs, and protected the little girl behind her. Her delicate face was already wet with tears, her messy hair stuck to her cheeks, and her beautiful eyes were filled with pleading: "Ah Chen, don't..."

Hong Chen stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly raised his knife and slashed through the air with a whistling sound.

Aunt Thirteen immediately closed her eyes in fear.

But what followed was a man's roar.

"How dare you, a monster, kill my followers? Today, I, Jiugong Zhenren, will follow the orders of the Great Emperor Zhenwu to slay the monsters and eliminate the evil!"

Aunt Thirteen suddenly opened her eyes.

Suddenly, the belly of the statue burst open.

A man holding a long sword with his hands clasped together flew out. After landing on the altar, he used his hands to bend hard, and the long sword that had just killed dozens of people broke in an instant.

Hong Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "Your people have run away, and you still want to act?"

Master Jiugong's face couldn't help but tremble.

If he hadn't been discovered by Hong Chen, he really wouldn't have known whether he should come out or not.

To be able to kill so many people without blushing or feeling any guilt, besides being a highly skilled martial artist, he must also be a ruthless person who is difficult to provoke.

However, now that it has come out, there is no need to consider these things.

His face turned grim, and he first threw the broken pieces of the long sword in his hand at Aunt Thirteen, and then drew the whisk from his waist and rushed towards Hong Chen.

Hong Chen could have pushed Thirteenth Aunt away, but if he did so, the little girl standing behind Thirteenth Aunt would surely die.

Although he is not a saint, he still possesses the basic virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

So, he leaped up and kicked the blade away with his foot.

At this time, True Man Jiugong had already arrived in front of him.

Before landing on the ground, Hong Chen stretched out his right hand and let the white whisker tail wrap around his wrist.

Seeing this, Master Jiugong was overjoyed. He twisted his hand lightly, and an iron spike instantly rushed out from the tail of the whisk. He held the whisk with both hands and pushed it forward with force.

The tail of the whisk broke and the iron spike went straight into Hong Chen's throat.

Thirteenth Aunt saw this scene, her eyes widened instantly, and her heart almost stopped beating completely.

But the next scene refreshed her cognition again.

Although the iron spike successfully pierced Hong Chen's throat, it was unable to move any further after coming into contact with the skin.
