"This is the world, where only life and death are eternal and unchanging, and loyalty is paramount!"
Jiang Yuan chuckled, and his body began to become illusory, a rhythm of replacing his true form with an eternal Dharma form.
Relying on superior combat power to deal with the companion will-o'-the-wisp is useless. It can survive for countless years because it is a wonder of heaven and earth. As long as hell is not empty, the flame will not be extinguished. Therefore, the only way to kill the companion will-o'-the-wisp is for a true god to descend!
However, this does not mean that the accompanying will-o'-the-wisp cannot be killed. In fact, there is another very simple way, which is to fight fire with fire.
If the companion ghost fire wants to take the position of the Grim Reaper and replace him, then he can also take everything from the companion ghost fire. At the same time, because of the Grim Reaper's innate suppression of the companion ghost fire, once the companion ghost fire is devoured by him, all its abilities will become part of the Grim Reaper's power.
After all, everything about the companion ghost fire comes from the Grim Reaper, so it's only right that it be returned now.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that it can completely devour the accompanying ghost fire. It has lived for countless years and set up this scheme, and it never intended to give Jiang Yuan a chance to turn the tables.
"The accompanying ghost fire is just right to enchant my Chaos Book of Life and Death!"
Jiang Yuan's body completely became ethereal. He used himself to transform into a cycle of reincarnation, trapping all the flames within this hellish realm. Furthermore, he fully activated the Devouring Starry Sky, intending to let the symbiotic ghost flames know the consequences of devouring their master.
Death is the best outcome for betrayal.
He has already taken on the identity of the Grim Reaper. Since he is not the reincarnation of anyone, everything that the Grim Reaper possesses now belongs to Jiang Yuan, even if it was just a tiny flame adopted by the Grim Reaper countless years ago.
As Jiang Yuan and the accompanying ghost fire reached a stalemate, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above Haicheng. It seemed as if a gate to hell had been opened in the darkened sky, and flames poured out from the gate, instantly dyeing the sky for thousands of miles around red. This sight was definitely a once-in-a-century spectacle.
"City defense system activated!"
The piercing air raid siren sounded. Haicheng, as one of the top safe zones in China, has one of the most complete defense systems in the region. But even so, it was still overwhelmed by the fireworks extravaganza. The entire city of Haicheng was riddled with holes by the flames.
"how so?"
An Xiaoyu stared at the strange phenomenon above her head, completely baffled. On the other hand, the five ghosts who stood opposite and blocked the three of them appeared unusually calm. As far as they knew, that lord commanded hell with flames, so this could only mean that the lord had begun to act.
“They’ve already engaged in combat.” A flicker of worry crossed Gong Suxin’s eyes.
"Trust him, he'll handle it."
Liu Zhaodi, who had complete faith in Jiang Yuan, chose to believe him unconditionally, but the God-Slaying Spear in her hand was anything but hesitant. She raised her hand and pointed it at the Five Ghosts, saying, "Before this, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
“That…” Wen Gui hesitated, then stopped.
Finally, Zhi Gui stepped forward and sighed, "Ladies, please don't make things difficult for us. The feud between our lord and Lord Jiang Yuan is predestined. Whether our lord or Lord Jiang Yuan wins, we will only follow him forever and cannot control the outcome."
"Hmph!" Liu Zhaodi snorted coldly, and said with a hint of command, "Now that you know my husband will become your master, go and fulfill your duties."
"Responsibilities?"
The five ghosts were completely bewildered; they did not understand the meaning behind it.
"Haicheng has suffered a natural disaster and fire. You have mobilized the black market to remedy the situation! This time, I do not want any of Haicheng's people to die in this disaster!" Liu Zhaodi coldly commanded.
"What gives you the right to give orders..."
The hot-tempered Jiao Gui was about to confront him, but was stopped by Zhi Gui, Wen Gui, and others.
"As you command, we'll go right away!"
The wise ghost was the first to lower its proud head, and the other four ghosts had no choice but to comply. The situation was beyond their control, and they had no other option.
Because regardless of whether their superior or Jiang Yuan wins this duel, the final result will inevitably be inseparable from the legacy of the Grim Reaper, meaning that Jiang Yuan will ultimately prevail.
"etc!"
Just as the five ghosts were about to set off, Liu Zhaodi called them back. She looked up and said, "Also, this is your master's older sister. If you call her that again, you'll be in trouble!"
Five Ghosts: "..."
"Alright, let's go defend against the heavenly fire!"
Jealous Liu Zhaodi then released the five ghosts. After they left, she waved her hand and a golden light disappeared. The lucky set she was wearing had all vanished into the void.
