Chapter 4128 The Intermediate State

When Little Fatty was digging out the key point of the formation, several of us gathered around to watch.

After digging for more than ten minutes, Little Fatty unearthed a wooden box.

As for what was inside, I didn't even look at it before I had the slovenly Taoist priest set it on fire.

There's no point in looking at it; the wooden box might be hiding some kind of killer weapon, spewing out poison gas or concealed weapons, which would be another problem.

After destroying one of the array's key points, I could clearly feel that the surrounding situation had changed, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what had changed.

Then I pointed to another spot and told Little Fatty to continue digging.

Before long, Little Fatty dug out another wooden box, so he continued burning it.

Once the talisman in the third key of the array is unearthed, the array will be completely destroyed.

However, the surrounding scenery did not change much.

Yue Chunlei asked, somewhat puzzled, "Section Chief Wu, you're sure the magic array is broken, but I don't feel any change at all?"

"We'll find out if we keep going. If we still encounter those paper effigies, it means we haven't destroyed the magic array. Then we can think of other ways." I called out, picked up the Shengxie Sword, and continued forward.

Although the magic array has been broken, I'm still feeling a bit uneasy. I'm really afraid of encountering those paper effigies again, which would be embarrassing in front of everyone.

Fortunately, after walking a few hundred meters forward, we did not encounter those paper effigies again.

Most importantly, the surrounding environment has also changed and is completely different from before.

"We didn't encounter any paper effigies, which means we've already escaped the magic circle," the disheveled Taoist priest said excitedly.

At this moment, he took out the compass again and examined it carefully: "We've made it out. That guy is getting closer and closer to us, less than two kilometers away. He hasn't run away yet. It seems he's waiting for us to get there."

"Old Luo, lead the way. Let's go and meet him, and see what kind of evil cultivator he is."

Afterwards, each of us carrying our ritual implements, we followed the disheveled Taoist priest and continued walking forward.

After walking for about half an hour, the slovenly Taoist priest led us to the entrance of a cave.

The disheveled Taoist priest put away the compass, pointed to the cave entrance ahead, and said, "That guy is in here, no doubt about it."

"Come on, let's go in and take a look. I'll lead the way." With that, I was the first to walk into the cave.

The cave was dark and damp, with water droplets constantly dripping from the ceiling.

The entrance to the cave was small, but the inside was spacious. It was pitch black in front of it, giving the feeling that it was bottomless.

We all held our breath and slowly walked deeper into the cave.

After walking about seventy or eighty meters, I suddenly turned a corner and then I saw a huge stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber, I saw a person sitting cross-legged in the center, surrounded by many white candles, creating an eerie atmosphere.

I took a closer look at the person. He looked very young and ordinary, but I had never seen him before.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was only one person, and he was a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties.

It's unbelievable that this is the same evil cultivator we've been looking for, capable of setting up such a powerful magic array.

Then what is there to be afraid of?

Immediately, our group all went into the stone chamber, quickly spread out, and surrounded the young man.

The young man remained motionless with his eyes closed, as if we didn't exist.

"You? You killed so many people with special destinies? And you set up that damn magic array outside too?" The chubby boy brandished his eight-sided purple-gold hammer, pointing it at the young man.

Suddenly, the flames of the white candles surrounding him flickered a few times, and the young man opened his eyes, smiled at us, and said, "You've come. I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

When he spoke, we were all startled. Although he looked very young, his voice sounded very old, like that of an eighty or ninety-year-old.

The main thing is that the tone of voice sounds familiar to me, like I've heard it somewhere before.

This person is clearly extraordinary; he's definitely a very powerful individual.

"Who exactly are you? Did you kill those people?" the disheveled Taoist priest asked him.

“That’s right, I killed them all.” As he spoke, the young man suddenly stood up slowly.

"Wu Jie, we meet again."

As he spoke, the man looked at me.

I was taken aback and blurted out, "Who exactly are you?"

"You really do have a bad memory. I am the Dharma King. You may not remember me, but I do remember you. My Blood Lotus fell into your hands back then." As the young man spoke, his eyes suddenly turned fierce.

Hearing him say that really startled me.

Good heavens, this person is actually the Blood Lotus Dharma King! I almost forgot that such a person even existed.

This person is quite strong. I suddenly felt that I had been a bit arrogant. Since he dared to face us alone, it proved that his injuries had been healed and that he had even acquired a Dharma body.

"You...you now have a Dharma body, are you in the intermediate state?" I was somewhat surprised.

"You do have some discernment, worthy of being my opponent. Besides wanting to obtain a Dharma body, another purpose of all this was to lure you here. I didn't expect you to actually come." Blood Lotus Dharma King laughed loudly.

“I understand. You killed forty-nine people with special destinies. Besides stabilizing and repairing your own soul, another purpose was to be able to possess another's body and reach this intermediate state. Blood Lotus Dharma King, you really have committed many evil deeds, killing so many people. It seems I came to the right place. This time, I will completely eliminate you to prevent you from committing any more evil.” I raised the Victory Evil Sword in my hand and pointed it at him.

"Is the Blood Lotus Dharma King very powerful?" Yue Chunlei looked at me with some fear.

"Nonsense, of course it's amazing." The slovenly Taoist priest became a little nervous.

“Amitabha Buddha, lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot. As a monk, you have committed such grave sins that you will go to Avici Hell.” Zen Master Yun Shen said angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense in front of this old monk. Since you're here, don't even think about leaving here alive." With that, the Blood Lotus Dharma King waved his hand, and a thick blood aura immediately appeared in the entire cave, enveloping us completely.

My heart sank. Back when the Blood Lotus Dharma King didn't have a Dharma body, he still managed to deal with us so badly. Now that he has not only recovered his soul, but also gained a Dharma body through possession of another's body, he is even less of a match for us.
