Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

"Your mother is really ugly."

The corners of Li Daoxuan's mouth curved into a mocking arc, and he looked directly at Akers who was sitting in front of him.

His tone was full of provocation, as if he was trying to provoke this seemingly calm opponent.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify at this moment. Li Daoxuan no longer cared about the faces of both parties, and the aggression in his words became more and more obvious.

But Ax's expression remained unchanged. He sat there like an unshakable mountain.

Having gone through many changes, he seems to have become numb to these verbal attacks.

However, the moment Li Daoxuan finished speaking, a hoarse cry broke the brief tranquility.

Amituo, who was a bit bigger than those outside, suddenly rushed towards Li Daoxuan, his movements were fast and fierce, as if he wanted to kill Li Daoxuan to the ground with one blow.

Li Daoxuan moved his feet sideways and cleverly missed Amituo's attack.

The butcher's knife in his hand flashed a cold light in the air and swung it directly towards Amituo's waist.

However, this time the attack was not as effective as before. The butcher's knife slashed across Amituo's body, sparks flying around, but not even a single scar was left.

Amituo's reaction was also extremely quick. He turned around, waved his fists, and hit Li Daoxuan hard on the back.

Li Daoxuan's figure became blurry at this moment, like an afterimage, easily dodging Amituo's attack.

Li Daoxuan, who used the folk art of "traveling a thousand miles", appeared in front of Ax in an instant.

He held the butcher's knife tightly with both hands, pointed the blade directly at Ax's head, and stabbed it hard.

But what Li Daoxuan didn't expect was that Akers never moved at all.

He sat there with even a faint smile on his face.

He didn't seem to be afraid of Li Daoxuan's attack, as if everything was under his control.

Li Daoxuan's butcher's knife penetrated Ax's head, but... no blood spattered, and Ax did not change at all.

He could even speak, his voice still calm and steady: "You'd better stir the knife and see if I will die."

Li Daoxuan's heart trembled when he heard Ax's words.

He tried to stir the butcher's knife inside Ax's head, but the result shocked him extremely.

Akers was still sitting there, unchanged at all, as if Li Daoxuan's attack had no effect on him at all.

It was only then that Li Daoxuan finally understood.

The person in front of me... is a shadow! He has no physical existence! All previous attacks were just useless efforts.

And at the moment when Li Daoxuan was stunned, Amituo finally followed.

He punched Li Daoxuan hard on the left ear. The huge force made Li Daoxuan feel dizzy.

He raised his left hand to protect his head, trying to reduce some of the damage.

The huge force still knocked him away, and he didn't stop until he hit the stone wall.

After the dull sound, Li Daoxuan fell heavily to the ground, dust flying.

He shook his dizzy head, trying to wake himself up.

In front of him, Ax was still sitting in his original position, with a proud smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"How about it? As long as you help me get those mineral deposits, I'll give you all the treasures, and you don't have to fight me here anymore."

There was a hint of temptation in Akers' tone, as if he was pointing out a clear path for Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan was not swayed by his words.

He raised his head suddenly and cursed angrily: "Fuck your mother!"

His voice echoed off the stone walls.

This time, Li Daoxuan did not attack blindly like before.

He took a deep breath, pulled hard, and removed the butcher knife from his hand.

Then, he took off the coffin nails at the end.

In this way, the weapon that was originally a knife in the front and a nail in the back suddenly turned into a bare stick.

The stick changed rapidly in Li Daoxuan's hands.

With a thought in his mind, the stick that was originally only one foot long suddenly turned into a big stick of flesh and blood about two meters long from front to back.

This big stick is extremely hard and seems to contain infinite power.

Amituo on the opposite side rushed over again, its movements were swift and fierce, as if it wanted to knock down Li Daoxuan in one fell swoop.

But this time Li Daoxuan did not dodge. Instead, he stood firmly on the spot and pushed the bell-ringing stick forward, directly touching Amituo's face.

Then, he exerted force and pushed the bell stick forward.

Amituo was pushed back by this huge force, and finally hit the opposite stone wall with a muffled sound.

No matter how much it waved its arms and legs and tried to break free, it couldn't move at all.

Seeing this scene, Ax's smile faded slightly.

He didn't expect that Li Daoxuan had such a method.

However, he did not feel panic or worried because of this. Instead, he chuckled and said: "I didn't expect you to have some tricks...but it doesn't matter, I don't just have one mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, a steady stream of black shadows appeared on the nearby stone wall.

These black shadows are squirming one by one, as if they are being born from the stone.

Li Daoxuan glanced over and his heart sank.

He knew that these black shadows meant that there were endless Amitabhas coming.

Facing such an enemy, Li Daoxuan knew that he was invincible.

He took a deep breath and held the bell-ringing stick in his hand tightly. He must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise, he might really have to confess here today.

He swept the stick horizontally and hit Amituo on the head.

This time, the bell-ringing stick was more effective than the butcher's knife, and it actually smashed all the rocks on Amituo's head.

Amituo fell to the ground, but Li Daoxuan did not feel relaxed or happy about it.

Because he clearly saw that next to the fallen Amituo, a new head was squirming and appearing.

These amitas seemed endless, no matter how many he killed, new enemies would appear.

Unless he beat Amituo to pieces like before.

Li Daoxuan's heart trembled, knowing that he could not continue to spend time here.

He glanced around and made a quick decision.

He walked through the cave in a few steps and came to the door.

He hit it hard with his shoulder first, trying to knock the stone door open.

But even if he hit his own chest and abdomen and the pain was unbearable, the stone door did not move at all.

Li Daoxuan had no doubt that the force of his collision was comparable to that of fifty or sixty people.

However, even with such a powerful force, it still could not shake this stone door at all.

He understood that this stone door could not be opened with brute force.

To open it, the problem still lies with Akers.

Only by finding Ax's weakness or breaking his vulgar restrictions can he possibly escape.

At this moment, the Amitabhas who were still dark shadows had already walked out of the stones one after another.

Each of them has a human-like appearance, but their limbs are all made of dark, skinny stone. Their eyes were as red as blood, and they looked extremely strange and terrifying.

These Amituos dragged their stiff bodies into the narrow stone cave one by one.

They surrounded Li Daoxuan, as if they wanted to surround and kill him here.

In the stone hall inside, Ax's voice echoed again, with a hint of teasing and provocation:
"How? Housheng, you'd better give up. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can let you go immediately. You should know that on this island of death, grain eaters who cannot use conventional magic are actually no different from the dead. What a difference.”

He paused and seemed to be appreciating Li Daoxuan's predicament, "No matter how strong you are, you can't resist this endless supply of Amitas. They are my right-hand assistants, and there are more waiting for you here." .”

Li Daoxuan held the bell stick in his hand tightly, feeling the sense of security brought by the rough texture.

He looked at Amituo who was gradually approaching, but there was no fear in his heart, only calmness and determination.

He knew that he had to find a way to deal with the predicament at hand, otherwise there was only death waiting for him.

At this moment, he was already leaning against the stone door, and all the Amitabhas had also entered the small cave.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan moved.

He took a deep breath and swung the bell-ringing stick in his hand, triggering his own customary technique - "ringing the bell."

In an instant, a loud voice sounded in the small cave.

The sound was like morning bells and evening drums, deafening, echoing among the surrounding stone walls.

With each reverberation, the sound became more high-pitched and passionate, as if there was endless power surging in it.

As the master of the bell-ringing stick, Li Daoxuan was naturally immune to this sound.

But those Amitas were different. They were stunned by the sudden sound and froze in place one by one, as if they had been cast a immobilization spell.

Then all the sounds acted on them.

Until all the Amitas... collapsed.

Li Daoxuan seized the opportunity and quickly rushed out of the stone path and returned to the original stone hall.

He stood there, looking at Amituo who fell to the ground behind him, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Ax's expression finally changed.

He looked at Amituo who was lying on the ground, and his face finally showed a hint of anger. He did not expect that Li Daoxuan actually had such a method, and all the Amituos who were awakened this time were solved by him in just one go.

Akers looked at the bell-ringing stick in Li Daoxuan's hand, "I didn't expect you would have some opportunities."

"If the fight continues, we will both suffer losses. How about joining forces as I said before?"

"Join forces?" Li Daoxuan sneered.

Ax wasn't angry either, "You can't deal with me. Since you really don't want to, just wait."

"Okay, just wait."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he sat down where he was.

Akers smiled and nodded. Even though Li Daoxuan had destroyed all the Amituos, he still looked calm, as if everything was under his control.

If Ax didn't take action at this time, he must be waiting for something. He was stalling for time.

But why not Li Daoxuan?
On this death island at the end of the secular world, vulgarity is restricted and vulgar arts cannot be used without restriction, and many of Li Daoxuan's methods cannot be used.

It is really difficult to cope with the situation in front of me with my physical body alone.

So it’s better to take advantage of this time to take a rest.

Of course, what made him dare to do this was not only his confidence in his own strength, but also his confidence in Tan Xiao, the fifth sister and Shi Ji.

Even the dancers would definitely think of something to do if they saw him missing.

Just like they believed that Li Daoxuan could lead them out of trouble every time, Li Daoxuan also believed in them.

None of them will be a vase.

"Can I ask how you found out?" Akers asked without saying anything.

"I?"

Li Doxuan looked up at him...the panel told me.

But he definitely couldn't say it like that. He thought about it for a moment and said casually: "You are so good to me. You showed your heart to me when we first met. You really treat me as your father."

Ax: "Haha."

The stone hall suddenly became quiet, and Li Daoxuan also noticed that Ax's face suddenly became a little ugly.

But it's not because of him.

Because Li Daoxuan didn't do anything at all, just such a simple sentence, it was impossible to cause such great harm to this old Yinbi, so it must be someone else who made him react like this.

Li Daoxuan still glanced around the stone hall a few times to make sure it wasn't here.

"Immortal ghost? Your luck is not small, ha!"

Ax muttered.

Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He didn't expect that the first one to work was Shi Ji.

It seems like that guy is not that useless, he is still somewhat useful.

But even though he heard it, Li Daoxuan didn't say anything. He tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, silently waiting for the next step.

On the contrary, Ax's face became increasingly ugly.

After about an hour, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Is that undead ghost one of yours too?"

"Immortal ghost?"

Li Daoxuan frowned, "I've never heard of it. It shouldn't be from our city. I don't know where it comes from."

Ax gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you help me remove those stones, I will clear out the entire first floor of the Evil Suppression Tower, give you all the goodies, and even take the initiative to send you to the second floor! "

"What do you think you have that I can trust?"

Li Daoxuan laughed and said.

At this moment, he even had some doubts about Ax's identity. Is this really something that a person who has lived for three generations can say?
It's a bit too naive.

But in the end, he still underestimated how much Ax had sacrificed for this day, and he would not allow himself to fail... At this moment, Li Daoxuan's ears twitched slightly.

He suddenly heard a "click" sound.

It was like the sound of stones rubbing against each other.

Ax seemed to know something and looked up at the cave, which was the direction of the cave entrance.

Li Daoxuan pretended not to know, and said in surprise: "Why, someone seems to be coming... It seems like they are opening the door?"

As if in response to what he said.

The stone door that he couldn't even open at first was actually opened by someone at this moment.

"Huh, brother Daoxuan, don't panic, Pindao is here!" The familiar voice of the old and wise man sounded.

Li Daoxuan's originally worried heart suddenly relaxed.

With Tanxiao, a cheating Taoist priest, a stone gate would definitely not be able to trouble him. This is why Li Daoxuan dared to sit here with peace of mind.

He looked back and saw the fifth sister walking towards him, then they were chatting and laughing, and then...it turned out to be a dancing girl!

She actually came, and she came with the people from Shenwu City.

This actually surprised Li Daoxuan.

But it was only in surprise. He nodded towards them. When he turned back again, Ax's face had become very ugly.

Thinking it was in another place, Shi Ji exerted no less effort.

"Are you OK?"

The fifth sister came to Li Daoxuan, and the fifth sister Yanran asked softly.

"fine."

Li Daoxuan shook his head.

Tanxiao also came to Li Daoxuan. After making sure that he was fine, he turned to look at Akers who was sitting on the stone bench.

Tanxiao pinched his fingers a few times, as if he was thinking something, and then said: "I know what this Death Island is about. It feels like you people who should have died long ago are causing trouble here."

Ax raised his head and stared at Tanxiao with his blue eyes. After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Qianji Yiline is not dead yet. It seems that you rats are quite good at digging holes."

This is the first time Li Daoxuan has heard about the origin of the talk... Thousand Machines and One Line, it sounds like that, and judging from his strength, this Thousand Machines and One Line is definitely not weak.

Tanxiao ignored him, but stared at him for a while, then turned to look at Li Daoxuan and said: "This is just a wisp of dead souls. Brother Daoxuan, don't pay attention to it. The real battle... is on Shiji's side. Let's do it as soon as possible." Go over and give him a helping hand.”

"What about here?"

The dancer took the initiative and spoke.

"As long as we kill the soul over there, the soul will dissipate on its own, but if we release the soul here and let it merge with the body, it will be a big trouble."

"Can't we kill this dead soul directly?" Li Daoxuan asked.

"It's difficult." Tanxiao glanced at the cave, "It's too difficult. Even if it can be done, it will take too long. It's better to go to the stone table first."

"Walk."

Li Daoxuan was also decisive and got up and left immediately.

Akers just watched silently and didn't say anything... Mainly because it was useless to say anything. Everything still depends on his back-up plan!
Several people filed out and came out of the island again. They saw Tanxiao moving a few times on the stone wall, and the originally open stone door closed again.

"Go this way."

The only people who knew Shi Ji's position were talking and laughing, so he should be the one taking the lead.

The others followed closely behind.

Li Daoxuan didn't know how long he had been in the cave. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the ferry. He saw that the ferry that was supposed to have three ghost ships turned into one again.

In this case, you know without asking that the remaining ship... must be the one that has been docked at the ferry.

That is, the last hope.

Although he didn't know what this hexagram meant, Li Daoxuan always kept it in his mind.

"Brother Daoxuan, this is for you."

Li Daoxuan was walking, chatting and laughing when something suddenly came to him. He didn't care whether Li Daoxuan wanted it or not, and just stuffed it into his arms.

"Ok?"

Just by glancing at it, Li Daoxuan felt that he looked familiar.

But when he saw it clearly, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because this thing turned out to be a whistle, a jade whistle.

Of course, this thing has a more specific name, called... [The Whistle of the Evil Suppressing Tower].

"Hey, I'm lucky to have two. Please give one to me, Brother Daoxuan."

"How did you get here?" Li Daoxuan fiddled with it for a few times and then put it away without any courtesy.

"I found the door bolts of those two wardrobes on the ghost ship, so I came here to whistle for nothing." Tanxiao said with a chuckle.

This is exactly what Li Daoxuan has always wanted to do, but he never thought that this thing was actually on the ghost ship.

But that’s okay, I got one anyway.

"Are those two wardrobes still there?"

"Let's go. The man took off the copper ring just to keep the wardrobe here. I returned the copper ring and they ran away naturally."

A wardrobe that can run away on its own is... strange to say the least.

After all, they all have long legs, so it's normal for them to run away on their own.

Following all the way, going around and around, talking and laughing actually led them back to the ferry of Death Island.

Looking up, there is the old moss-covered archway. (End of chapter)
