Mortal Bones

"Pap, tap..."

Perhaps because he was too focused, the footsteps that had been covered up by the chanting of the monks seemed particularly harsh to Xu Taiping's ears.

No wonder he was so nervous. The despair and pain of dying when he was cut in half were too real.

If possible, he would never want to experience it a second time.

"Crack."

At this moment, the clone's feet stepped out from the door of the hall.

Xu Taiping's eyes were fixed on the dozen monks sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures at the entrance of the hall.

Because of the magical power of Shen Tu Gong, Xu Taiping could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the monks even from a distance of more than a hundred feet.

Just like before, when Xu Taiping's clone appeared at the door of the main hall, the monks who were chanting sutras suddenly stopped their voices, and their faces were filled with astonishment.

At the same time, a young monk began to shout like just now:

"Hurry up and call the host. Buddha appears. Buddha appears. The protector has really descended from the sky!"

After this sound, the originally orderly monks began to appear in chaos.

This scene made Xu Taiping frown slightly and glanced at the monk who shouted first.

"bass!"

Immediately afterwards, a bright sword light lit up in the gloomy square.

Even Xu Taiping felt very surprised by this knife.

Because, even if he saw this sword again, if he hadn't noticed it in advance, he felt that he still wouldn't be able to detect it.

Of course, he was prepared at this moment. He had already locked his sights on the monk the moment he stood up and drew his sword.

He was a thin monk with delicate features.

But there was nothing unusual about his appearance. Only when he drew his sword, the pair of eyes revealed a green light that was impossible to see in ordinary people's eyes.

"It's a demon."

Xu Taiping immediately made a judgment and loosened the bowstring in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

As a sharp sound broke through the air, the thunderbolt arrow flashing with lightning flew out almost grazing the neck of Xu Taiping's clone.

"boom!"

Amidst the sound of explosion, he raised his knife and slashed at the monk who was Xu Taiping's clone, and his head exploded directly.

But at the moment when the monk's head exploded, another monk jumped up from the crowd. At the same time, he drew a sword from his sleeve and struck Xu Taiping's clone again with the sword.

This monk was surprisingly the first person to exclaim after Xu Taiping walked out of the hall.

"boom!"

Xu Taiping's clone was directly chopped into pieces by this knife.

But at the same time that Xu Taiping's clone was shattered, an unparalleled force shook the sky and hit the monk's head hard.

The monk's head exploded like a watermelon with a "bang" sound.

It was only then that the group of monks at the entrance of the main hall reacted. While shouting, they quickly retreated.

"Master Heavenly Protector, you, why do you want to... hurt the disciples of our temple?"

one of the monks mustered up the courage to ask.

Because whether it was the two monks disguised as demon cultivators or Xu Taiping, they all took action very quickly.

So many monks on the field could not see clearly who made the move first.

"Look carefully, they are demons."

Xu Taiping kicked the two corpses away from the ground.

The monks immediately saw that wrapped in the two monk robes were two monsters with wolf heads and human bodies, covered in black gas.

"It's a werewolf!"

"Why did a human wolf sneak into our temple?"

The monks exclaimed again.

Werewolves are the most numerous monsters in Izumo Kingdom, and they are also the main force in the siege of Pilu Temple.

"I killed two wolves as soon as I came up. You, you are the Heavenly Protector that I saw in the host's dream, right?"

An older monk came to Xu Taiping's side with an excited look on his face.

"Dare you ask the master's name?"

Seeing that the monk looked like the leader, Xu Taiping planned to let him be the guide.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Protector, the poor monk's name is Miaoxin."

The monk said with some fear.

"Master Miaoxin, the matter is urgent. Please take me to see the abbot of Pilu Temple."

Xu Taiping said to Miaoxin directly.

"The abbot has been waiting for a long time in the Heavenly King's Hall. Lord Heavenly Protector, please come with me!"

Monk Miaoxin quickly stepped forward to guide Xu Taiping.

"boom!"

But at this moment, the three monks standing beside Xu Taiping and Miao Xin suddenly swelled up and turned into three extremely ferocious human-shaped demon wolves. They rushed towards Xu Taiping and Miao Xin at the same time. .

"Crack!"

Master Miaoxin was originally frightened to death, but as a snap of fingers came, the three human wolves were suddenly wrapped in a sharp blast of wind, and then cut into pieces with a "bang" sound. minced meat.

After seeing the three human wolves turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, Xu Taiping, who had been following behind wearing a hiding cloak, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me just say, if you can get in from one end, you can definitely get in from both ends."

Xu Taiping lifted up his cloak, and then merged with the clone under the stunned gaze of the monk.

After continuous testing, Xu Taiping was convinced that there were no wolves on the field.

"Let's go, Master Miaoxin?"

Xu Taiping urged the old monk.

"Yes Yes!"

The old monk was startled at first, then nodded repeatedly, and said with joy:

"With the help of the Heavenly Protector, our Pilu Temple will definitely be able to escape danger this time."

...

"Abbot?!"

In the Heavenly King Hall.

Miaoxin, who brought Xu Taiping to the Heavenly King Hall, suddenly stood at the door of the hall with a stunned look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Taiping jumped onto the last step and stood beside Miaoxin.

"Protector, you... look."

Miaoxin pointed to the Heavenly King Hall.

Xu Taiping looked up and saw that the hall was already in a mess, with seven or eight monks lying in the middle of the hall.

And one of the oldest monks was pierced through the head by a Zen stick and nailed to a Buddha statue in the middle of the hall, dying with his eyes open.

"That... wouldn't it be your abbot?"

Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
