Shen Lang nodded: "Yes."

Mu Qingxue looked around at Shen Lang, Gu Hongye and Wang Heihu:

"When Shen Lang casts his spell to control, Miss Gu, Miss Wang, you and I will join forces to kill those four people quickly. Remember, you must be quick and don't make too much noise."

In fact, Mu Qingxue alone can surely kill four early and mid-level fourth-grade warriors quickly.

But in that case, there will definitely be a big fuss.

The four of them now dispersed and sneaked into the shadow of the cave.

Shen Lang was hiding in the shadow at the entrance of the cave, leaning against the stone wall and preparing to cast a spell.

Gu Hongye hid behind a sarcophagus, pressing the hilt of the sword tightly with her palm.

Wang Heihu hid behind a five-foot-tall stalagmite, nocked an arrow, and half-opened his precious bow.

Mu Qingxue was opposite Shen Lang, also leaning against the stone wall, motionless, her whole body almost blending into the shadow.

After lurking, not long after, four men in black wearing bronze masks filed in from the entrance of the cave.

There was no trolley this time. Two of the men in black each held the same props. One held a palm-sized bronze mirror with a ruler-long handle, and the other held a pair of black shackles.

It was obvious that they were here to pick someone up.

The moment the last man in black stepped into the cave, Shen Lang suddenly spoke and recited a mantra in a low voice:

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and there is a shore, so you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately; the sea of ​​suffering is boundless and you turn back to the shore, put down the butcher's knife..."

It's the "Transfer Curse"!

The four men in black were stunned at the same time amid the strange and erratic sound of chanting, which was rising and falling.

But they are all fourth-level warriors. With Shen Lang's current level of Dharma cultivation, he cannot make them cry bitterly and reflect and repent like Zhou Shicheng did before defeating them head-on, severely injuring their bodies, and breaking their confidence.

Furthermore, the "Transfer Curse" is not invincible and can kill everything.

The operating mechanism of this curse is to directly target the soul, arouse the guilt, regret, fear, despair and other negative emotions in the enemy's heart, and amplify them infinitely, so as to make people put down the butcher knife and kneel down to repent without fighting.

, and even ended up committing suicide on the spot.

But for people with extremely strong wills, the effect of the mantra is very limited.

A strong martial artist like "Zuo Qianhu" has an indestructible will; or some people with magnanimous minds and pure hearts have no sneakiness and darkness in their hearts; or they have very different cognition from ordinary people, even if they do all the evil things, they still remain.

They also believe that everything they do is just, perverts who kill countless innocent people without any guilt, and some unreasonable fanatics...

The human-transfer spell basically can't do anything to them.

These four men in black not only have reached the fourth level of cultivation, but also have strong martial arts wills. They are also related to the evil demon "Black Lotus Holy Lord" and have very different personalities.

Therefore, although Shen Lang's "Transferring Curse" immediately stunned them, their auras soon began to stir, and their true energy was about to burst out to counteract the spell.

Fortunately, Shen Lang is not alone.

Mu Qingxue suddenly took action, tapping her gold-covered finger, a golden light shot out from her fingertips, and with a pop, a man in black was headshot.

At the same time, his body flashed, and he teleported towards the man in black holding a bronze mirror. With a gentle palm, he hit the man in black's dantian.

The man in black was suddenly shaken and collapsed to the ground. Mu Qingxue grabbed the bronze mirror from the man in black.

At the same time she took action.

Wang Heihu suddenly ducked out from behind the stalagmites, bowed his bow to the full moon without taking a single glance, and let go of the string violently.

The special arrow's paralysis body wrapped around the blue whirlwind, instantly penetrated the chest of a man in black, and shot out from his back, opening a fist-sized, transparent blood hole from the front and back.

The arrow had lost its remaining power, rolled up with a cloud of blood mist, and plunged into the stone wall with a pop, until it was almost halfway down. The tail of the arrow was still vibrating at a high frequency, and the green whirlwind surrounding the arrow body even twisted the stone wall into strips.

There were many cracks, and large pieces of stone powder were scraped off.

The reason why an arrow, no thicker than a finger, can shoot a blood hole the size of a fist in a person's body is precisely the power of the green whirlwind surrounding the arrow and the arrow shaft.

If the target is not a fourth-level warrior, then Wang Heihu's arrow can even shoot the person into pieces.

Of course, it was also because Wang Heihu had a fourth-level cultivation that he could shoot such a powerful arrow. The arrows shot by the original owner of Jinghong Bow were far inferior to Wang Heihu's arrow in terms of speed and power.

When Wang Heihu opened his bow and fired his arrow, Gu Hongye also swooped out from the shadow of the sarcophagus. The black ice sword drew a cold light like lightning and pierced the throat of the last man in black.

The strange cold sword energy spurted out, instantly freezing the man in black's throat and head, making him unable to even let out a dying groan.

With the cooperation of the four people, all four of them had fourth-grade cultivation, the lower one was the entry-level fourth-grade warrior, and the higher one was the early-stage fourth-grade warrior. In this way, three died and one was captured without any ability to fight back, and from the beginning to the end

In the end, no big noise was made.

After taking down the four men in black, Mu Qingxue issued instructions:

"Take off their clothes and masks, and put the bodies into the sarcophagus. There is no need to peel off the clothes with the hole in the chest. Use the intact clothes."

At that moment, Wang Heihu recovered the arrow and quickly peeled off the clothes of the man in black.

Although Gu Hongye was not used to this kind of work for the first time, he tried hard to learn from Wang Heihu and adapt.

Mu Qingxue dragged the man in black, who had his dantian sealed with her palm and was unconscious, to the corner of the cave, peeled off his black clothes and took off his mask, only to find that he was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

man.

He is neither a wanted criminal named by the Ministry of Justice, nor a famous martial arts figure.

Mu Qingxue had never seen this person anyway.

Of course, Da Chu has a vast territory, a large population, and a prosperous martial arts style. Even if fourth-grade warriors are the backbone of the martial arts world, they can even be regarded as top forces in many places. It is impossible for Mu Qingxue to recognize every fourth-grade warrior.

She asked Shen Lang to keep an eye on this person, and then went over to take a look at the other three men in black. She saw that the three men were two men and one woman. They were also plain-looking and featureless, and they were not people she recognized.

Frowning and returning to the unconscious man in black, Mu Qingxue said to Shen Lang:

"What's the origin of the Shen Sanlang you are pretending to be?"

Shen Lang said: "He is just an ordinary noodle shop owner. He inherited the small noodle shop passed down from his grandfather and father. He usually works hard to make a living. He is also willing to do charity and has a good reputation. No one knows that he knows martial arts."

"According to this, these men in black probably all have similar identities."

Mu Qingxue touched her chin with her fingers and murmured:

"But fourth-grade warriors are not so easy to train. The skills are fine, but even if you are a young genius, if you want to cultivate to fourth-grade, you have to practice martial arts from a young age and ensure resources...

"How can this organization select martial arts seedlings who can advance to the fourth level from the families of ordinary people who have not been exposed to martial arts for generations, and train them from childhood without being exposed?"

Shen Lang thought for a while and said:

"It's not necessarily because I was raised since I was young. On my way to the capital, I ran into something like this..."

He briefly explained the story of the Seven Spider Sisters, and then said:

"The Spider Mother doesn't have any power in the Eastern Territory. She started from scratch. In five years, she cultivated a mid-level fourth-level master, an early fourth-level master, two entry-level fourth-level masters, and three masters of the fifth-level master.

"The strength and character of the 'Black Lotus Holy Lord' are stronger or weaker than those of the Spider Mother, but her power in the mortal world is obviously far greater than that of the Spider Mother. Her spokesperson on earth is even very powerful.

Maybe it's a certain first-grade real person.

"With such a force, it does not seem impossible to train a large number of fourth-grade warriors from ordinary people in just a few years."

Mu Qingxue was a little moved when she heard this:

"There is such a thing... The evil demon is supporting apostles in the human world and training masters on a large scale. The last similar incident can be traced back to the period when the previous dynasty was destroyed and the world was in chaos. Now the Great Chu is at its peak. Unexpectedly...

"

Shen Lang said:

"The last similar incident may not have started at the end of the previous dynasty, but it may have started in the middle to late period of the previous dynasty. It was just that the previous dynasty was not in chaos at that time and still had strong power, so the demon believers lurked in the dark and accumulated silently.

"It wasn't until the end of the previous dynasty that the world was in chaos. The demon believers had accumulated enough power and completely lost control due to the advent of troubled times, and then they broke out on a large scale."

Mu Qingxue nodded slowly:

"It makes sense."

Another kick on the thigh of the unconscious man in black:

"Let's interrogate this person first."

As soon as he kicked it down, the man in black groaned in pain and woke up.

Seeing Shen Lang wearing a mask and black clothes, and Mu Qingxue with a black lotus mark on her eyebrows, the man in black suddenly asked in surprise:

"Who exactly are you?"

"I am interrogating you now." Mu Qingxue played with the bronze mirror and said coldly: "Tell me your name and identity truthfully."

The man in black chuckled, closed his eyes, and looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Mu Qingxue said coldly:

"Now I'm just sealing your Dantian. If it doesn't work, I will destroy your Dantian and make you lose all your power!"

The man in black still closed his eyes tightly, not saying a word, and his expression returned to calm. It seemed that he didn't even care about the threat of having his Dantian destroyed and losing all his power.

Shen Lang frowned, and just as he was about to take action himself and give him some measures, he heard the man in black whisper:

"The blazing holy fire burns my mortal body, the black lotus leads the way, and my soul pays homage to the Holy Lord..."

In the low voice, the man in black flashed with flames between his brows, and a flame pattern with a dark core and dark red edges suddenly appeared.

Then, like a living thing, the flame pattern quickly spread from the center of his eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, his entire face was covered with flame patterns.
