Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 498 – Confusion

Although An Zheng felt that it was strange, he did not act blindly without thinking. He quietly withdrew himself from the small wooden building, and then found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for him outside. The Yaksha Umbrella had a unique connection to each other, so no one could see them. However, the people who used the Yaksha Umbrella could see each other.

“I think there’roblem with Daxi Changge.”

An Zheng and Chen Shaobai returned to the banquet first, and then lowered their voices and conversed. Everyone was paying attention to the singing and dancing of the banquet. Everyone was scratching their fists and drinking. No one noticed that they had left and returned. An Zheng looked around at his surroundings, and then pretended as if nothing had happened: “I think there’roblem with Daxi Changge, so this invitation might not actually be to thank the cultivators. The little monk was still unconscious, but no one treated him. Instead, the guards seemed to want to kill him at any time.

Chen Shaobai immediately understood what An Zheng meant: “You’re saying … Is the Six-Winged Skeleton related to Daxi Changge? ”

An Zheng nodded his head: “I even suspect that the Six-Winged Skeleton was something Daxi Changge made.”

Chen Shaobai pondered for a while, then said: “For some unknown reason, he came up with something like a Six-Winged Skeleton, and attacked cultivators to absorb their power... After that, the so-called “thank you feast” was to gather all the cultivators. Only he could do that. As the City Lord, ordinary people would not reject an invitation from him. Furthermore … Only he could control the news. Why did the Peacock Palace not send anyone? It’s because Daxi Changge did not send anyone to notify Peacock City. ”

An Zheng made a sound of acknowledgement as he looked at Daxi Changge, who was toasting in the distance: “The little monk has the ability to restrain those Six-Winged Skeleton, that’s why Daxi Changge locked him up.”

Chen Shaobai thought for a while, then asked: “What do we do now?”

He lowered his voice and said, “We can’t just wait and see. If all of this really is Daxi Changge’s doing, then these people are way too dangerous. “If the Six-Winged Skeleton suddenly appears …”

Before he could finish his words, there was a commotion outside and a loud sound came from the city gate.

An Zheng’s face changed, he had Chen Shaobai call for everyone to prepare their defenses, and he had already rushed out. An Zheng raised his speed to the maximum, and by the time he finished speaking, he was already outside the City Lord’s Mansion. He rushed towards the location where the loud sound came from, and before he could reach the place, he already saw smoke and dust filling the air. After passing through a street, he saw that the city gate had collapsed. The Six-Winged Skeleton that was dozens of meters tall had already smashed its way into Floating Mist City.

On the city wall, the warning horn sounded out, but the city gate was already broken. At this moment, the weak guards on the city wall were unable to stop the terrifying Six-Winged Skeleton. Countless casualties occurred in an instant. Knowing that something had happened, the civilians began to flee in all directions, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

An Zheng rushed towards the Six-Winged Skeleton and summoned it. However, before he could even get close, his feet suddenly shook, followed by the ground beneath his feet suddenly splitting apart. A gigantic skeletal hand extended out from the crack and grabbed hold of An Zheng’s ankle. An Zheng’s reaction was fast, the Broken Army Sword in his hand slashed downwards, the sword light flashed, and that palm was cut off at the same time.

An Zheng pulled his body upwards, the other hand of the Six-Winged Skeleton had already reached out and grabbed towards An Zheng. An Zheng’s body was lifted into the air, then he suddenly dove down. Seeing An Zheng swooping down, the three pairs of bone wings on the Six-Winged Skeleton’s back immediately flipped over, and countless spear-like objects shot out from the bone wings.

An Zheng swung his sword in midair. A purple sword beam swept past like a whip, breaking those bone spears. The Six-Winged Skeleton should be able to feel how terrifying An Zheng was, so it was too late to dodge even if it wanted to. It opened its mouth and bit towards An Zheng’s legs.

An Zheng’s body flipped in midair, then accelerated, and suddenly rushed straight into the Six-Winged Skeleton’s mouth. Soon after, a purple fire sword light pierced out from the back of the Six-Winged Skeleton’s head, directly piercing a hole through the tough skull. After the sword beam pierced through, An Zheng did not rush out. The sword beam turned inside the Six-Winged Skeleton’s head and started to spin likurple light windmill, exploding with a ‘pa pa’ sound, and directly cutting off the upper half of the Six-Winged Skeleton’s head.

Then, An Zheng raised his leg to stomp down. With a boom, the Six-Winged Skeleton was unable to withstand the strength and its two legs that had yet to crawl out from the ground bent down. Its body fiercely fell to the ground.

An Zheng cut apart this incomplete Six-Winged Skeleton and kicked away the huge half of its body with one foot. Then, he continued to walk forward.

At the same time, most of the cultivators that were enjoying themselves in the City Lord’s Mansion had already arrived. An Zheng raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw the City Lord Daxi Changge who had risen into the air... There was a bow in his hand, emitting a faint purple light. While he was in the air, his left hand grasped the bow, and his right hand made a grasping motion in the air. In that instant, he caught the five arrows that had appeared out of nowhere. It was as if a hole had been cut open in the air, and the sky was where he kept his arrows.

Five arrows simultaneously landed on that large bow. Then, he pulled back his right hand, causing the bowstring to be indiscernible. However, everyone seemed to have felt the bowstring being pulled at full volume. Then the five arrows shot out at the same time, and because they were too fast, they caused the air to explode when they shot out.

Five crescent-shaped waves of light shot forward at incomparable speed. As for the five light waves, they seemed to have their own intelligence as they each accurately found a Six-Winged Skeleton!

What was even more terrifying was that out of the five arrows, five had been killed.

The five arrows all hit the Six-Winged Skeleton’s chest, not its head. Then, the five arrows almost simultaneously exploded at the chest area of the Six-Winged Skeleton. Even the chest area of the Six-Winged Skeleton that had fallen to the ground had a hole blown out, with four to five ribs broken. When its chest was broken open, the Six-Winged Skeleton seemed to have lost its life force.

Chen Shaobai rushed to An Zheng’s side and just happened to see this scene: “It seems a little strange, if Daxi Changge was the mastermind, he wouldn’t do suching.”

An Zheng nodded his head: “I’m confused too, why is that so?”

Chen Shaobai said: “Even you, who originally made a living from investigating a case, could not think of a reason, much less me. If Daxi Changge was the main culprit, there was no need to kill all five Six-Winged Skeleton in one go. He can completely suppress his cultivation, feign to be very hardworking, but in reality, he is just watching without doing anything, and is helplessly watching the cultivators get killed and their Cultivation Power sucked away by the Six-Winged Skeleton. ”

An Zheng said: “I just thought of a problem... These Six-Winged Skeleton were already so strong the moment they appeared, it was obvious they absorbed some kind of energy. So if it is Daxi Changge, then it is impossible for Daxi Changge to not be exposed. He needs to continuously kill people in order to raise these Six-Winged Skeleton. ”

Chen Shaobai: “You can’t say that. You don’t know the face and you don’t know the heart, it’s just that you’re even more confused now. There’s definitely a problem with Daxi Changge, maybe it’s not the problem that we can think of. ”

An Zheng acknowledged: “Let’s get rid of these Six-Winged Skeleton first.”

He rushed towards one of the Six-Winged Skeleton, Chen Shaobai grinded his teeth and rushed to the next one. But this time, the Six-Winged Skeleton were different. They could only come out from the desert near the city walls and destroy the city gates. The rest of the Six-Winged Skeleton all came out from underground and were scattered around the city.

An Zheng knocked down another Six-Winged Skeleton and when he turned around, the inside of the city was already likurgatory. Countless commoners had been killed, and cultivators were dying in large numbers as well. Although there were many cultivators here, very few of them were able to reach the Lower Completion Stage. Even cultivators with Captive Stage could only protect themselves. People with several levels of Captive Stage simply didn’t have the ability to kill Six-Winged Skeleton.

An Zheng suddenly thought of something and his face changed. He shouted towards Chen Shaobai and rushed towards the City Lord’s Mansion. Although Chen Shaobai didn’t know what was happening, he still charged out together with An Zheng.

An Zheng had killed a Six-Winged Skeleton on the way here, but when he rushed out of the City Lord’s Mansion, he discovered that the City Lord’s Mansion had already been breached. Four to five huge Six-Winged Skeleton had already rushed in, and the City Lord’s Mansion was filled with corpses, many of them women.

An Zheng’s eyes reddened and he rushed in to kill a Six-Winged Skeleton. Chen Shaobai followed closely behind him and rushed to the backyard in one breath.

At this time, the small wooden building had already collapsed. The dozens of guards guarding outside had all died, and a Six-Winged Skeleton was searching for something. Everywhere the massive body passed, the buildings were razed to the ground. Its feet were stepping on a guard, and the guard’s lower body would not die even if it was stepped on for a short period of time. The Six-Winged Skeleton continued to search through the ruins, even sweeping away the thick beams of light.

Amidst the dust and dust, that thing looked extremely fierce.

An Zheng rushed over and used his sword to slash at the Six-Winged Skeleton’s back, directly cutting off its spine. The Six-Winged Skeleton wailed in pain as it turned its head to smash its fist at An Zheng’s head. Since his spine was broken, he had borrowed the strength of the falling punch to strike with even more astonishing power.

“The little monk might have already been killed!”

An Zheng shouted.

Only now did Chen Shaobai react, and directly rushed towards the ruins to search. This time, the Six-Winged Skeleton’s target was the little monk. Maybe they knew that the little monk could restrain them, so they tried to attack from the east and the west. They moved everyone to the city gates, and the rest raided the Mayor’s mansion.

Chen Shaobai rummaged through the ruins for a while, then shouted angrily: “It’s impossible to find it!”

But right at this moment, from afar, in the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, the monk that looked like he was on the verge of collapse walked over step by step. Due to exhaustion, he was unable to lift his arms. His steps seemed incredibly heavy. But even so, he kept one hand on the alms bowl, the other on the beads, his feet almost touching the ground.

He raised his head with much difficulty and looked into the distance, before chanting a Buddhist prayer. He sat down with his legs crossed and slowly rose into the air. Behind him, a golden roulette formed from Sanskrit’s inscriptions appeared. Countless dense Sanskrit characters flickered, bringing with them a solemn Buddhist light.

“You will die!”

Chen Shaobai shouted and was about to rush over, but the little monk had already flown up. He sat cross-legged in the sky as a golden light flashed. Countless of Sanskrit words flew out from his back, quickly flying towards the Six-Winged Skeleton that were wreaking havoc. In just an instant, those Six-Winged Skeleton seemed to have been hit by a acupoint, and all of them stiffened, unable to move.

However, the young monk only lasted a few seconds before he fell from the sky.

An Zheng rushed over and hugged him. The little monk opened his eyes, his eyes filled with gratitude. Then he raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, as if there was something he wanted to say.

An Zheng turned his head to look and saw a black light flash past the backyard. It was followed by City Lord Daxi Changge descending from the sky and coincidentally landed at the place where the black light was flashing.
