Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Venerable Ghost Nether
"Not a con man? Then who is he?"
"Bang!"
Just as Xiaoxiao was about to ask, a loud crash erupted at the end of the intersection.
The sedan swiftly accelerated and crashed directly into a taxi that had just driven by.
It was obvious that the intention wasn’t to cause casualties but rather to stop the taxi.
The taxi’s hood was lifted, and plumes of white smoke quickly rose as two figures emerged from the business car, heading straight for the taxi.
Liu Zixuan slapped the steering wheel upon seeing this, "These bastards don’t let up for even a second!"
He quickly dialed Zhao Yi and shouted, "Stop them for me, Lianyi is in that taxi."
"Got it!"
Zhao Yi responded, swiftly appearing a short distance from the taxi. Just as the two figures opened the car door, a sharp gleam suddenly flashed, and the Celestial Spirit Saber was already slashing toward them both.
"Attack!"
A command was issued from somewhere, and the group of people playing chess moved directly toward the taxi and Zhao Yi.
Liu Zixuan frowned, "Something’s wrong!"
"What is it?" Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.
"I’m afraid there are more people here besides us and the Celestial Dao Alliance," Liu Zixuan explained hastily, then turned his head and asked, "Can you drive?"
"Yes!" Xiaoxiao realized that the situation had completely surpassed Liu Zixuan’s expectations and stopped being curious about further details.
"Good, after I get out of the car, you take the driver’s seat. When the man and woman behind the fruit stand make a move, drive and crash into them to pick us up," Liu Zixuan instructed.
"Crash...?"
"They may look like they don’t have martial artist cultivation, but they are definitely not ordinary people. Don’t hesitate; as soon as they move, crash into them, got it?" Liu Zixuan said, then jumped out of the car and swiftly moved toward Zhao Yi.
As he mentioned, there were definitely other people lying in ambush besides them and the Celestial Dao Alliance.
If it was just those two sides, the people by the fruit stand should have attacked as soon as the command was given. The location was the best attack point, whether in terms of position or distance from Zhao Yi.
But as the fight broke out on the other side, they sat there as if nothing was happening; it was too unusual.
Upon reaching the scene, Zhao Yi was already fighting with the elderly chess players, while the first two men were trying to open the rear door of the taxi.
Bang!
Liu Zixuan suddenly appeared, kicking one of the men away, then turned to look inside the car. Ye Lianyi was leaning against the back seat, having fainted from the impact with no time to prepare. Fortunately, the car was locked from the inside.
Just as he was about to smash the window, a chill suddenly came from the side.
Liu Zixuan instinctively dodged backward, and the remaining man’s blade stabbed into the car body.
Liu Zixuan’s face turned cold, his anger surged, and in an instant, the Nameless Sword was unsheathed, directly killing the man.
"Brother Xuan, watch out!"
At this moment, Zhao Yi, having left the two elders, rushed to Liu Zixuan’s side and cut down a martial artist attempting to ambush him.
"Quickly finish this, there’re others around!" Liu Zixuan said solemnly.
"These old men are strange. Even after I hit them, they seem to not care at all!" Zhao Yi muttered, warily scanning the surroundings.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, activating X-ray Vision to look at the elderly attackers. They emitted a faintly visible blue-purple aura, their eyes were white, and lips tinged blue.
"This is Gu Poison, there’s an expert in using Gu here!"
Liu Zixuan smirked, "Smash the car door and get Lianyi out, I’ll handle them!"
"Alright!"
During the exchange, Zhao Yi and Liu Zixuan quickly changed positions, with Zhao Yi standing at the car door and Liu Zixuan attacking the strange elderly men with the Nameless Sword.
The only difference between Gu and poison is that Gu can be controlled, while poison cannot.
The elders bore knife wounds from Zhao Yi, yet despite bleeding, they were unscathed, so Liu Zixuan concluded they were controlled by Gu.
Rather than calling them human, it’s more fitting to say they’re walking corpses. Under Gu’s control, they’re impervious to weapons, moving only to attack with no retreat.
The solution was either to find the Gu inside them and destroy it, or completely destroy their bodies!
Liu Zixuan had no time to ponder where the Gu was in their bodies.
As the elderly men attacked, Liu Zixuan suddenly leaped high into the air, deploying several Ghost Gate Needles from his fingers, instantly forming a Defense Array.
When the elders were trapped in the array, Liu Zixuan abruptly produced the Nether Fire Stone retrieved by the Thief Sect’s disciple from the Ancient Tomb.
Throwing the stone onto the array, Liu Zixuan sealed it with hand signs, infusing it with pure Inner Strength.
Suddenly, intense flames burst from the Nether Fire Stone, tightening the array around the elders.
The Nether Fire Stone’s temperature was so fearsome even Emperor Realm experts dared not touch it, showcasing its deadly power.
How could mere Gu-animated corpses withstand its fiery might?
When the array closed in on the elders, the Nether Fire Stone exploded, reducing them to ashes.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yi had already rescued Ye Lianyi from the car.
Liu Zixuan rushed over, "We can’t stay here, we need to leave now!"
"My painstakingly cultivated Gu corpses were destroyed so easily, do you think you can get away?"
The prior command echoed throughout the street, yet no figure appeared.
Liu Zixuan glanced at the man and woman by the fruit stand; seeing them still unperturbed, he shouted, "Sir, are you a turtle? Sending out lackeys to fight, yet hiding in your shell?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared from afar, disappearing and reappearing closer each time.
When he came closer, Liu Zixuan frowned, "It’s you?"
Before them stood the yellow-toothed old man who had previously sold medicine. With an eerie smile and holding a skull-staff, he looked especially bizarre.
"Perhaps, you can call me Venerable Ghost Nether," the old man spoke arrogantly.
"You’re the Ghost Doctor Sect Leader of the Medical Immortal Sect?" Liu Zixuan said in surprise upon hearing his name!
