Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 325: Thunder and Fire Refining Willow Monster

Xiang Hu went into the cave and looked back, and found that Shang Lu had followed him in. He was not surprised but happy.

“Hahaha, you followed me in here and you’re asking for death. Don’t even think about getting out alive. Just wait to become Liu Xian’s nutrients! People like you who have cultivation skills are Liu Xian’s favorite blood food!”

No one except Xiang Hu knew about this cave and the secrets hidden inside it.

Because once anyone else enters this cave, they will never get out alive. They will be hung on the willow tree and become the willow monster's blood food.

Xiang Hu crawled to the strange willow tree, fell to his knees, and kowtowed for help.

"Liu Xian, help me, Liu Xian, help me... These people want to kill me. It doesn't matter if I die, but there will be no one to offer blood food to you in the future!"

The willow monster in the cave was not interested in Xiang Hu's life or death, or the safety of the mountain village.

But when it heard that there was no blood offering, it became furious.

Countless willow branches swayed, causing the hundreds of corpses hanging on them to collide with each other, making another dull "bang bang bang" sound.

Ferocious and terrifying human faces appeared around the willow tree, with their mouths wide open and emitting shrill screams.

These screams went straight into the brain, as if countless knives were stabbing wildly inside the head.

Not only does it give people a splitting headache, it also makes them drowsy and slow to react. Even their souls seem to be torn away from their bodies amidst these screams.

If an ordinary person heard this wave of screaming attacks, either his head would explode and he would die, or he would go crazy and turn into a monster.

But Shanglu had experienced the baptism of the crazy words of the gods.

This move of the Willow Demon could not confuse his mind at all, nor explode his brain, it just made him feel noisy and loud.

Shang Lu immediately accelerated and pounced on the willow monster, wanting to destroy it so that it would never scream again.

After discovering that the screaming howl was useless against Shang Lu, the Willow Demon realized that this opponent might be extraordinary.

In an instant, the screaming sound coming from the human face on the bark became wildly louder.

Hundreds of corpses hanging on the willow branches fell to the ground one after another like dumplings.

Among these corpses, some had their blood and flesh sucked out, leaving only a layer of skin. After falling to the ground, they staggered and couldn't even stand up straight.

Some looked like they had just died, with foul-smelling blood still flowing out of their bodies.

There were even a few who were not dead and let out painful howls after landing.

They struggled, and taking advantage of the opportunity when the other bodies fell to the ground and had not yet taken any follow-up actions, they took steps and stumbled towards Shang Lu, begging for help: "Help... Help me... I don't want to die..."

Just as these men ran a few steps, the corpses oozing with foul-smelling blood and the skins without flesh and blood all moved together, forming a large net that trapped Shang Lu, and rushed towards him from all directions.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Xiang Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth and laughed wildly with smugness: "The immortal soldiers are out, you are dead!"

However, he had just laughed twice when his expression suddenly froze.

He lowered his head and a sharp willow branch pierced his chest. He felt excruciating pain in his chest, as if something was madly gnawing at his internal organs and flesh.

Xiang Hu stretched out his hands, grabbed the willow branch as thick as his little finger, and wanted to break it and pull it out of his body.

But it's no use.

This willow branch looks small, but it is as hard as iron and stone. Even if Xiang Hu was born with supernatural strength, he could not break it, let alone pull it out of his body.

On the contrary, Xiang Hu felt that his strength was also being sucked away along with the blood.

Xiang Hu's legs softened and he knelt on the ground. He stared at the willow tree in front of him with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "Why... why?"

He couldn't understand why the Willow Demon wanted to kill him.

If he were gone, who would offer him blood food?
The next moment, Xiang Hu felt a sharp voice appear directly in his mind:

"You bring trouble to me, how can I keep you here?"

Although the willow monster was not a human, it had opened its spiritual senses and could see at a glance that Xiang Hu had deliberately led Shang Lu into the cave.

As long as Shang Lu and the Willow Demon start fighting, Xiang Hu will take advantage of the chaos to slip out of the cave and escape far away.

If the Willow Demon won and killed all the officers and soldiers, he would turn back and continue to be the king of the mountain.

If Liu Yao loses, Xiang Hu will have enough time to escape and save his life!

It’s a pity that his plan could not be hidden from the Willow Demon.

This also did not escape Shang Lu's notice.

Even if the Willow Demon didn't take action, Xiang Hu would have no chance of escaping.

Because Shang Lu had already summoned Mu Yuan.

When Xiang Hu was killed, Shang Lu also rushed to the front of those living people - these people blocked his way to pounce on the Willow Demon.

"Help!"

"Save us."

The few people who survived were all women and children. They were covered in blood and wounds and looked extremely pitiful.

At the same time, there seemed to be a strange energy spreading inside the cave, quietly affecting the minds of living beings.

Even the most hard-hearted and cruel person would, at this moment and in this place, feel compassion and want to protect these poor people.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong target this time.

When Shang Lu faced this group of women and children asking for help, a murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, but not to save these people.

A cluster of deadly cold light flew out from his sleeves at such a fast speed that it made a loud sonic boom!

It directly drowned out the cries for help from these people.

This group of people had no time to dodge or resist, and in an instant, they were hit on the head by the cold light.

These cold lights are the hidden weapons, iron nails, prepared by Shang Lu.

After they entered the heads of these women and children, the power contained in them immediately erupted.

"Bang bang bang..."

These people's heads exploded instantly, sending up clouds of blood and brain matter.

However, although their heads were blown off, their bodies did not stop at all. Instead, they sped up and pounced on Shang Lu.

This is not inertia, but these people whose heads were blown off can still move!
"I've already seen that you are not human!"

Shang Lu snorted coldly.

His eyes, blessed by the liver god, were extremely sharp.

Although these women and children looked like living people, in his eyes, they were filled with death, and there were patches of corpse spots under their clothes.

These people are just a trick of the willow monster. It uses them to pretend to be living people in order to arouse sympathy and deceive people.

If it were someone else, in this sudden situation, they might not be able to see the true situation of these women and children.

Not to mention, the shrill howls are interfering with the mind and affecting judgment.

As long as you really treat these women and children as living people, no matter whether you try to rescue them or avoid them, you will be attacked by them without any preparation.

Before meeting Xiang Hu, Liu Yao used this trick many times to hunt blood food for himself.

Therefore, even without Xiang Hu, Liu Yao would not worry about having no blood offerings.

Xiang Hu overestimated his own value and underestimated the ferocity of the Willow Monster. He thought he could not only use the Willow Monster, but also control it. Unfortunately, from beginning to end, he was just an insignificant chess piece in the eyes of the Willow Monster.

At this moment, the group of zombies whose trick had been seen through by Shang Lu accelerated and flew towards him.

Faced with this situation, Shang Lu was not at all panicked.

He raised his left hand and waved it around. Countless hidden weapons flashing with cold light flew out from his sleeves and blasted towards the surroundings with violent force.

With his right hand, he pulled out the beast whip wrapped around his waist and lashed at the puppet corpses that were pretending to be living people.

Because the whip was infused with vital energy, it was not only flexible but also sharp as a knife. With a series of muffled "puff" sounds, it chopped the puppet corpses into several pieces.

However, the puppet corpse, which was broken into several pieces, was still able to move!

He threw his hands and feet at Shanglu, trying to grab him and entangle him.

Even the broken waist and abdomen were bleeding and continued to rush towards the smilax. Maggots as thick as fingers and with sharp teeth poked out from the broken waist and abdomen, trying to bite the smilax.

Not only were these corpses still moving after being chopped into pieces, but the other corpses around them were the same. Even though their heads, chests, hands and feet were pierced by hidden weapons and their parts were blown to pieces, they did not feel any pain and were still able to move.

Even faster.

In a flash, these corpses rushed towards Shanglu. Then, more corpses rushed up, forming a mountain of corpses, pressing Shanglu in the middle.

The corpses in the inner layer were biting the Smilax glabra madly, while the corpses in the outer layer were trying desperately to squeeze in to get a piece of the pie.

At this moment, the faces on the willow trees all revealed ferocious and complacent laughter.

In Liu Yao's opinion, Shang Lu, who was suppressed by the group of zombies, would definitely die!
“Hahahaha… No matter how powerful you are, no matter how strong you are, you still have to become Liu Xian’s nutrients.”

The one who made the strange laugh and ridicule was actually Xiang Hu.

At this time, Xiang Hu's internal organs had been hollowed out and eaten.

He was already dead, but his soul was trapped in the body, making him a new puppet corpse.

Although Xiang Hu retained his memories before his death, he did not dare to hold a grudge against Liu Yao, and could only vent all his hatred on Shang Lu.

Therefore, when Xiang Hu saw Shang Lu being overwhelmed by the swarm of zombies, his heart was filled with pleasure, which probably meant: If I can't get better, you can't get better either.

But at this moment, a loud thunderclap suddenly appeared in the cave.

"Is it thundering?" Xiang Hu subconsciously looked up and looked towards the crack above the cave.

Although it was getting dark outside, there were no dark clouds or thunder.

Xiang Hu just saw a bird flying down from the crack above the cave.

Xiang Hu didn't take the bird seriously. He was just wondering where the thunder came from.
The next moment, the group of corpses gathering on Shang Lu seemed to be bombarded by a huge force.

"boom--"

Countless flashes of lightning burst out from the mountain of corpses, causing it to shatter instantly.

Under the blast of lightning and fire, the puppet corpses were instantly reduced to charcoal. The strange insects and evil spirits in their corpses were all annihilated by the lightning and fire mixed with divine power.

After the mountain of corpses collapsed, Shang Lu walked out stepping on the charred corpses.

He held open a black umbrella covered with witch patterns in his hand, and the rolling thunder and lightning were summoned by this umbrella.

This is the thunder and fire poison-repellent umbrella in the thief Cao’s office.

Before, this umbrella had always been used to ward off poison gas. It was not until Shang Lu learned a more in-depth usage from Lu Dao that he realized that this umbrella could not only ward off poison, but also exorcise evil spirits!

At this moment, Shang Lu made hand gestures with one hand and held up the Thunder and Fire Poison-Repelling Umbrella with the other hand. He poured essence, righteousness, and divine power into the umbrella with all his strength, summoning raging thunder and fire.

The Willow Demon was horrified, and human faces appeared all over his body, screaming more and more hysterically.

But it's no use.

The corpse that was burned by the thunder and fire just smoked and did not move at all.

Instead, it was Shang Lu who controlled the thunder and fire and struck the willow tree.

At the same time, a red spell flashed from the wooden kite that flew down from the crack in the cave ceiling.

"boom--"

A blazing flame burst out from the witch spell like a fire dragon and rushed straight towards the Willow Monster.

At the same time, the thunder and fire controlled by Shang Lu also madly bombarded the Willow Monster, exploding into flames.

A bolt of lightning even hit Xiang Hu who was standing next to him, causing the newly-minted puppet ghost to instantly burn and die completely.

The willow monster was completely covered by flames and was in great pain. The human faces on its body were all distorted and wailing.

The disadvantage of this willow monster is that it cannot move.

Otherwise, by keeping a distance and escaping from the range of thunder and fire bombardment, you can at least minimize your own injuries.

Even though it was burned by thunder and fire, the Willow Demon did not give up.

As soon as its old branches are burned and shattered, new branches will grow out immediately.

The willow monster endured the burning of thunder and fire, and danced with thousands of willow branches.

Although these willow branches were constantly being burned and broken, new sprouts continued to emerge.

Like sharp blades or poisonous pythons, they swarmed towards Shanglu.

Shanglu held a thunder and fire umbrella in his left hand and waved a beast whip in his right hand.

At the same time, several long swords hanging behind him were unsheathed and controlled by Shang Lu with his Qi, slashing at the attacking willow branches.

This move was the method of controlling weapons that Shang Lu asked Lu Yang for advice.

After I learned it, I only used it in sparring with Uncle Huai and Sanniang. Today is the first time I used it in actual combat.

But the momentum is strong and not unfamiliar at all.

"Dangdangdangdang..."

The Rhizoma Coptidis was like a mobile arsenal, constantly cutting off the willow branches that swarmed over it.

However, new willow branches are constantly growing.

For a while, the battle between Shang Lu and the Willow Demon turned into a protracted one.

Whoever runs out of energy first loses!
Shang Lu still had enough energy, and relying on his determination to break through the enemy lines, he replenished his energy after killing the puppet corpses and ghosts.

But the willow monster seemed to have a lot of stamina, constantly growing new branches.

If this continues, it’s hard to say who will win or lose!
At this moment, Shang Lu heard Sanniang's reminder: "Pull it up by the roots!"

Uprooted?

Shang Lu suddenly thought of a reason and shouted, "Okay!"

He pushed his feet hard on the ground and accelerated towards the Willow Monster.

Although the Willow Demon didn't know what Shang Lu was going to do, its intuition told it not to let this guy get close.

In an instant, countless willow branches rushed towards the Smilax glabra bee sting with an even more crazy force!

Shang Lu’s eyes suddenly went dark.

The countless willow branches blocked the light and vision...
