Chapter 453: Immortal body? Half-step to immortality?
“boom–“

With Shanglu as the center, the space inside the entire Corpse City God Temple was in turmoil, torn apart, and collapsed under the fierce attack of the He bandits.

If it weren’t for Sanniang’s protection, the seven people from Shanglu, whose cultivation was suppressed by the City God’s shackles, would have been torn to pieces by this violent storm of resentment.

Shang Lu cursed in his heart.

He really wanted to use the magical power of “Bashe swallowing an elephant” again, but the cursed dark cloud he had just swallowed had already made him “full”.

If you continue to swallow it forcefully, your body will burst!

At this moment, Sanniang’s voice rang in his ears.

“Withdraw the talisman!”

Did it work? Shang Lu didn’t have time to check and immediately did what he was told, removing the purification talisman that was cast on Lu Dao, Xu Shan and Zishu Xunshou.

But he didn’t destroy it, but threw it directly at the thief who rushed over.

Several thieves were immediately affected by the Purification Talisman and their offensive was slowed down.

Almost at the same time, Lu Dao, Xu Shan and Zi Shu, who originally had calm expressions and didn’t care about life or death, suddenly changed from dull to lively expressions.

Without the suppression of “fame” and “profit”, their cultivation was able to recover.

Although he was still wearing the City God shackles, they were fakes created by the thief using evil magic after he stole the treasure, so they had limited power.

He could suppress Shang Lu, Lu Yang and others, but he couldn’t suppress them.

“break–“

A stern shout came from the mouth of the Rat Patrolman.

“boom–“

Powerful magic power gushed out and transformed into a giant rat, which bit off the blood-light shackles that bound him with one bite, and its momentum did not decrease. Within a short breath, it bit off all the blood-light shackles on Shang Lu, Lu Yang and others.

“Get into formation!”

Xu Shan activated the formation plate in his hand as soon as possible.

Rays of golden light flew out from the array plate and turned into a mysterious witch spell, instantly forming a witch array that protected everyone inside.

As soon as the witch formation was set up, it collided heavily with the fierce attack of the thieves, causing a thunderous explosion.

The violent aura instantly killed a large number of rampant ghosts and poisonous creatures, and shook the City God Temple to the point of collapse. Large pieces of dry bones and rotten corpse remains fell like raindrops.

Everyone was in the witch formation and was not affected.

Lu Dao didn’t say a word. The moment Xu Shan set up the witch formation, he formed a seal and released a curse, covering the He thieves present.

“what–“

The resentful aura of the He thieves was rapidly weakened by Lu Dao’s curse, and their bodies quickly rotted away, causing them extreme pain.

Lu Dao seemed to be using this trick to tell them: This is how curses should be used.

After Shang Lu got rid of the shackles of the City God, he did not watch the show.

The witch knife was unsheathed by itself, and under the control of the essence of Qi, it turned into a stream of light and slashed towards the He thief who was in pain.

At the same time, the beast whip was waving, bringing up bursts of thunder and fire, whistling out.

After breaking the bloody shackles on everyone, the Rat Patrol also launched a counterattack against the wheat thieves around him.

The cultivation level of this bunch of thieves is not that strong, but they have been blessed with the strange magical powers of the mountain ghosts, which has caused strange changes and improved their cultivation level by a large amount. They also stole the treasures here and possessed some special abilities.

But these are no match for the Rat Patrol, Lu Dao and Xu Shan who have regained their strength.

In an instant, all the thieves were killed.

The treasures they stole from the City God Temple were also scattered all over the ground.

At this moment, Lu Yang and the other two finally got rid of the troubles of “fame and fortune” with the help of the Purification Talisman.

Seeing the compliments of fame vanish into smoke and the paper ingots turned into dirt, Shang Lu quickly removed the purification talisman to prevent them from being too deeply influenced. He truly became pure-hearted and had no desires or requests.

Lu Yang, who had recovered his cultivation and sanity, let out a breath and said, “That was a close call.”

“These thieves are so cunning. Fortunately, we have Junior Brother Shang, otherwise we would all be dead here.”

Lu Dao, Xu Shan and the Rat Patrolman all nodded.

The Rat Patrol even patted Shang Lu on the shoulder and praised him, “Not only do you have the opportunity, but you also have the courage, like me.”

Shang Lu spoke modestly, but he was wondering in his heart: Why does this sound like you are taking advantage of me?
Lu Dao was quite worried about Shang Lu’s situation. After looking him up and down for a few times, he said solemnly: “When you leave here, you should immediately return to the Witch Academy to soak in the Spirit Pool. The cursed dark clouds are the result of resentful evil spirits. If you don’t purify them, your cultivation will be polluted. Even if you don’t transform into a demon, you will go astray.”

Shang Lu naturally would not refuse Lu Dao’s kindness, and immediately crossed his hands to express his gratitude, but was held down by Lu Dao.

“You saved our lives. If we want to thank you, we should thank you.”

Although they were talking, their actions were not delayed at all.

When the thief He died, the Rat Patrol released a group of witch rats.

Many mechanical insects also emerged from Gongshu Ling’s witch armor.

These things all rushed towards the killed thieves, one to check whether they were all dead and whether they needed to be finished off, and the other to pick up the dropped treasures.

These treasures might come in handy on the journey ahead.

However, just as the witch rat and the mechanical insect approached the remains of the rice thief and the dropped treasures, they were suddenly attacked by a wave of evil spirits and curses.

These evil spirits and curses also attacked the seven people of Shanglu, but the witch formation held up by Xu Shan was still there and blocked them all.

Then, Shang Lu and the others saw that the remains of the He thieves all came back to life.

Countless squirming buds appeared on the corpses, growing wildly, not only helping them to suture their wounds, but also “sewed” them together with their companions. In an instant, the group of thieves sutured each other and turned into a weird meat mountain with many hands, feet and heads.

“We have received the gift of the Immortal King and are now half-step immortal gods with immortal bodies. You mortals also want to kill us?!”

The heads on the mountain of meat roared in unison.

At the same time, countless blood and flesh gushed out from the mountain of meat, and flowed onto the stolen treasures of the City God Temple before Zishu Xunshou, Shanglu and others launched a new offensive.

In an instant, the entire City God Temple of Corpses seemed to come alive.

A huge divine power descended from the dome of the temple, like a world-destroying hand, which was about to kill and crush the seven people of Shanglu.

In order to kill the seven people from Shanglu, this group of thieves did not hesitate to sacrifice part of their own flesh and blood and souls in exchange for the Corpse City God Temple’s complete killing of the seven people from Shanglu!

Although doing so would cause them to suffer a great loss of their cultivation, or even lose their souls, if they didn’t do this, they would all die here.

They would rather live than die.

What’s more, there is a mountain ghost behind them. As long as they kill the seven Shanglu people and offer a blood sacrifice to the mountain ghost, it will surely “grant their wishes” and help them find their lost souls.

Facing this huge chaotic divine power, Lu Dao, Xu Shan and Zi Shu Xunshou all had solemn expressions.

They tried their best to mobilize their witchcraft to resist, and shouted to Shang Lu and the other four:

“Come on!”

“Break through the palace door and rush out!”

Lu Yang and Gongshu Ling didn’t hesitate at all.

One of them was flying a sword while the other had his spiritual vortex reactor fully activated. They did not forget to pull Shang Lu and Bai Lingxu up with them, and were about to rush out of the Corpse City God Temple.

It was also at this moment that Shang Lu noticed that the statue in the hall was shaking violently.

Large pieces of rotten and dry flesh fell off, revealing the fresh flesh that was growing and wriggling inside.

At the same time, in the center of the hall, the City God, who was sitting behind the desk like a puppet, had flesh and blood growing rapidly on his withered bones.

The next moment, the flesh and blood statue and the skeleton city god opened their eyes at the same time.

The City God Palace of Corpses shook violently, and an angry roar penetrated into everyone’s soul.

“How dare you, you evil spirits, steal my authority?”

As soon as the words fell, a series of “bang bang bang” explosions came from the top of the meat mountain.

All the treasures stolen by the He thief exploded, emitting black air and blood, and were swallowed by the Skeleton City God in one gulp.

The He thieves who had been transformed into a mountain of flesh had never imagined that the Skeleton City God, whom they had previously treated as a puppet and manipulated at will, could actually “come back to life”.

What frightened them even more was that with the resurrection of the Skeleton City God, the huge divine power was no longer pressing down on Shang Lu and his seven companions, but instead rushed towards them.

“no no–“

The heads on the mountain of meat all howled in fear and despair, trying to escape in all directions.

But they forgot that they have now become one.

The result was that not only did he fail to escape, but he also tore the mountain of meat apart.

“boom–“

The divine power, with unparalleled force, struck the group of wheat thieves, instantly turning them into a pool of rotten meat.

What was strange was that the wheat thief, who had turned into rotten meat, was not dead yet. He was still squirming and trying to escape.

Upon seeing this, Zishu Xunshu and his companions immediately caught up with them, chanted spells and cast magic, igniting a raging flame that burned these rotten flesh thieves and their equally transformed souls into ashes.

Seeing the situation reversed, Lu Yang and Gongshu Ling’s Wu Jia stopped running and joined the ranks of those who set fire to the strange rice thieves.

Lu Yang is worthy of being a sword wizard, he not only kills people but also destroys their hearts.

While he urged the sword energy to turn into fire, burning the rotten meat and the grass thieves, he sneered:
“Immortal body? Half-step to immortal god? How dare you brag like that! I have never seen a half-step to immortal god who is just a pile of rotten meat, as weak as you!”

The seven men moved quickly and burned all the rotten meat into ashes in an instant.

Then the Rat Patrol took out a special medicine powder and sprinkled it on the ashes, making them completely disappear.

At the same time, the City God Temple, which was built with dry bones and corpses, was undergoing tremendous changes.

The dead bones and corpses turned into dust, and the wronged souls floated out one after another, their faces no longer ferocious and vicious. After bowing to the statues and the city god, they bowed to the seven people of Shanglu and then disappeared without a trace.

Shang Lu and the other seven people all turned their eyes to the statues and the City God in the hall.

For a moment, no one knew what to do.

If you were in the outside world and encountered such a situation, you would naturally burn incense and offer sacrifices to thank the gods for their effectiveness and to drive out evil spirits and filth.

But this is a dangerous place.

The gods in the evil land are not necessarily real. Even if they are real, they are extremely crazy.

Even the gods and the city god here helped them to destroy the He thieves.

But if they make even the slightest mistake in their response, it will bring about a catastrophic disaster!

At this moment, even the experienced Rat Patrol, Lu Dao and Xu Shan were not sure how to respond.

We can only place our hopes on Shang Lu, a man with “great luck”.
