Chapter 89 Kaifeng Weird Things

Zhiji never thought that one day she would be so afraid of someone.

Maybe she had in the past, but after she got this gem, her former humble and poor self had been left behind.

The orb gave her the power to drive away powerful demons, draw strength from the souls of others to nourish herself, and make herself as beautiful as in her dreams.

These evil spirits crawled obediently at her feet and treated her like their only mother. Looking at herself in the mirror, who was so attractive, her impoverished heart was filled with great vanity and satisfaction.

She felt that her previous name was no longer suitable for her now, so she named herself Zhiji.

She wants to be the most beautiful flower on the branch.

Zhiji has been going smoothly for too long.

At first she was worried and afraid to let the evil spirits eat too many people. What if she was attracted by a powerful Taoist priest or monk and was captured by him?

Later, she gradually discovered that even in the most popular Buddhist and Taoist temples nearby, the monks and Taoists inside were all fake and none of them could defeat her ghost.

Her ambition was greatly nurtured, and she gradually shifted her targets to high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, who could replace many people alone.

In just four months, the number of people devoured by the evil spirits reached thousands, and Zhiji's methods of controlling others became more and more sophisticated. She was no longer satisfied, and she gained new ambitions from the drama.

What does a village or a town mean to her? She wants the whole world to submit to her!

So Yi Ke became the first high-ranking official to fall from grace.

She was the highest-ranking official that Jiji had come into contact with before that.

Most of Fengyang County was eaten up by the evil spirits she had let loose, and only a few people were left alive, trapped in the dead silent county town, living like zombies.

After a great victory in the first battle, Zhiji's confidence increased. She immediately raised her sights and set her sights directly on Nanxiang County.

Even after meeting two people with great luck, Zhi Ji did not think that she would not get what she wanted. She even dared to think and do, and even dared to devour people with great luck.

Until a roar of a giant beast that shook the universe came from the sky, until sparks fell to the ground, until the woman in black who stepped on the giant beast locked her eyes with a pair of flames.

Extreme fear instantly overwhelmed Zhiji, her precarious sanity collapsed in fear, and her instincts warned her frantically -

Run!

Run!

You will die, you will die!

But she was unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to accept it!

Just one step, her good children were just one step away from eating those two lucky guys!

Zhiji looked up at the woman in black standing on top of the giant beast. She felt hatred that overwhelmed her fear. She pulled the gem inlaid on the flower crown off and held it tightly in her hand: "Don't run!"

The strong emotions were absorbed by the fragments, and the green light suddenly became stronger. The evil spirits that instinctively tried to escape were unexpectedly strengthened.

His strength reached an unprecedented peak, his body expanded, expanded, and expanded again. At the same time, his rationality, which was already low, fell to the bottom of the valley.

They actually dared to roar at the Lord of Hell, showing their fangs and claws.

The Blood Demon Dragon felt that it was provoked. These bastards actually dared to disrespect its noble master in front of it. It was a great shame and humiliation!

"roar!--"

The blood dragon roared angrily and blew the unsteady Zhi Ji backwards. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were under its wings, covered their ears with masks of pain. The soldiers who were lying on the wall fell down staggeringly. The people hiding in the houses were so scared that they trembled and prayed for God's blessing.

Oh my god, what is this coming! ?

It opened its mouth wide and launched a dragon fire attack at the group of evil spirits.

Bang!

The rolling waves of dragon flames instantly submerged half of the evil spirits and slammed heavily into the wall of fire built by hellfire. The human buildings, which were made particularly small by the giant dragon, were so weak, pitiful and helpless.

The Blood Dragon raised its front paws and stomped down with a roar.

This kick shook the earth!

Faintly one could hear humans screaming and shouting in fear as the earth dragon turned over.

Tarona took a look at the blood dragon that crushed a dozen evil spirits with one foot, and raised his eyebrows slightly. How could this not be considered a turn of events for the earth dragon?

With a wave of her hand, she added a layer of solidity buff to the buildings in the city. The Great Witch tiptoed, jumped off her mount, and landed lightly in front of Zhiji.

She was blown backwards by the hot wind caused by the blood dragon's roar, knocking over the stalls that lined the street, and she rolled on the ground several times. She was covered in dust and dirt, and there was no trace of her previous charming and graceful appearance.

Tick, tick, tick.

The sharp high heels made a crisp sound when stepping on the bluestone slabs, but to Zhiji it sounded like a death warrant, frightening her.

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here...go away!"

Zhiji's hands and feet were weak, and she couldn't get up no matter how hard she tried. She could only use her hands and feet to retreat.

But she always held the pearl tightly in her hand. It was her lifeline and her only support at the moment.

As she backed away, she accidentally touched the sparks that were quietly placed on the side of the road, and her elbow was instantly burned black.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

Zhiji screamed and shook her hands and slapped him.

Is the fire of hell something that can be easily extinguished?

It would have been fine if she didn't slap it. Once she slapped it, the flames burned even more vigorously, as if they were deliberately torturing her. The flames spread very slowly, little by little, burning to both sides.

This kind of pain cannot be described in words. The fire of hell not only burns the body, but also burns the soul.

Zhiji's face turned pale with pain. Seeing that the strange fire could not be extinguished no matter what she did, she made up her mind, and with her other hand, the five fingers turned into claws and directly tore off the arm.

Wow.

Tarona almost applauded her. She was cruel to others and to herself. If she didn't succeed, who would?

It’s a pity that she was not born in the chaotic world, otherwise she would definitely be a new villain.

The severe pain made Zhiji forget for a moment that there was an even more deadly danger before her. Before she could even catch her breath, a hand wearing a black glove reached out and strangled her neck.

"Well!"

The owner of the hand nonchalantly pinched her neck and lifted her up as if lifting air. Blood flowed down the broken wound onto the bluestone slab. There was only a crackling sound, and before even a trace could be left, it was evaporated by the terrifying temperature of the surrounding sparks.

With her neck strangled and a feeling of suffocation rushing to her brain, Zhiji used her only remaining hand to flap her hands desperately in an attempt to save herself.

Her good children were already overwhelmed by the fact that an angry dragon was playing a puzzle game of whack-a-mole with them, occasionally spitting out dragon fire to clean up the dead debris.

The evil spirits that have eaten countless people are like ants that cannot be any smaller in front of the blood dragon. Their invincible fangs and claws can only create sharp sparks on their blood-red scales.

They want to attack Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and go to the country?

That would only irritate the Blood Dragon further, and it would swung its long dragon tail, crushing a few of them directly, then lift them up and smash them into several more cakes.

The dragon had a lot of fun.

"I have no objection to the strong ruling over the weak."

Because hell is a place where the strong prey on the weak.

The cold voice of the Lord of Hell pierced into Zhiji's brain like an icy spike. She was in so much pain that her eyes were bloodshot. No matter how big her mouth was, she couldn't breathe in any oxygen.

But she was conscious, clearer than ever before.

"What I hate is the killing of innocent people and the trampling of good people."

Gabriel became a demon knight after her death. She was also a human when she was alive and retained a part of her humanity. She was not as evil and cruel as the previous Lord of Hell. She would still look up to kindness and stay for the beauty of the world.

Good and evil coexist, just as darkness and light coexist, and everything has two sides.

But she could not tolerate such evil.

What did Yi Ke's family do wrong? Their kindness brought them disaster.

What did the villages and towns that had accepted Ji Ji do wrong? Their kindness only attracted an evil spirit.

But the dead are dead after all, and there are laws of life and death.

She is the ruler of hell and the enforcer of the law, so she must not take the lead in violating the laws of life and death.

but--

[Devil Rider] brought the red-faced Ejime, who was suffocating, in front of him, with the distance between them only a finger's breadth.

She raised her red lips, and her deep red eyes instantly turned into a whirlpool of flames that kept spinning. The hellfire that had quietly pretended to be a small flower surged excitedly, covering the sky and the earth, all the color of flames.

“Look me in the eyes.”

[Devil Rider] said so.

Zhiji resisted with all her heart, but she was powerless to resist the words tainted by the law.

——She spoke, and the world listened.

Zhiji looked into a sea of ​​fire, where skinny dead bodies were densely packed. They stared at her with their gray-black eyes, and their lifeless eyeballs were filled with biting hatred.

These are the people she fed to the demons.

They're coming for her!

"You won't repent, and they don't need your repentance. Feel their pain and death, and then-"

They came up!

A miserable scream was squeezed out from Zhiji's chest. She struggled violently, but the hand that was strangling her neck remained motionless.

The wronged spirits tore at her soul, vying to crush her three souls and seven spirits. Endless pain and suffocating despair were injected into all her senses.

Her flesh was torn off by the fangs and swallowed ravenously. The bones connected to the tendons were twisted off and chewed and swallowed. A big hole appeared on her neck at some point, and blood gushed out. The devil, who was growling, lay beside her ear, greedily absorbing the sweet blood.

She became more conscious.

The demons were eating her, and she was being eaten...

Over and over again, in a cycle, it stretches endlessly.

Suddenly, a more intense feeling of suffocation surged into her heart, her eyes bulged out, and she struggled with all her strength. But the hands that were pinching her neck were as big as a palm leaf fan, full of old coils, and strong enough to restrain a mad horse with bare hands.

“Hehe…”

Her struggling hands fell powerlessly and she was strangled to death.

Blah!

She was thrown into the water, and the cold water soaked her soul and almost froze her consciousness.

Whoosh.

She heard the sound of wind and opened her eyes numbly. She could actually open her eyes, which gave her a glimmer of hope.

She tried to clench her fists, to feel the orb.

But no, her palms were empty.

The extreme panic just hit Zhiji's heart, and that horrible voice came into her mind again.

The Lord of Hell laughed, almost whispering: "And then... welcome to Hell."

Zhiji immediately heard frantic whispers in her ears.

They are saying:

You will turn into ashes, spread on the red soil of Hell, which is always flowing with blood... and your judgment and your suffering will never end!

“Aa ...

Bang!

Zhiji fell into hell. She heard the sound of bones breaking and shattering all over her body. Before she could see the blood-red sky of hell, she was overwhelmed by the demon soldiers who swarmed in like locusts.

This is hell. There is no escape from hell, only a cyclical, hopeless, and numb eternity.

Welcome to Hell.

…

At dawn, the people who had been shivering and hiding all night finally heard the familiar sound of a horn. They supported each other and walked out of the house, looking around nervously and dazedly.

Just like yesterday, the goods in the baskets left behind by the vendors were still there.

Could it be that those terrifying roars and waves of vibrations were all illusions?

Ding ding ding ding!

The officers came running with gongs, with pairs in charge of several streets.

Such a big commotion and such heavy casualties could not be kept secret, so Judge Li decided to inform the people of what happened yesterday.

However, unlike the content in Chen Shu's memorial, Li Tongpan concealed some of the details and only said that a demon had sneaked into the city yesterday with the intention of killing people. Fortunately, he was helped by a master, and after a fierce fight, the demon was finally captured and executed.

And places like Fengyang County that were hit by a sudden disaster...

As Judge Li made his final stroke, a myriad of emotions swirled in his chest, eventually turning into a heavy sigh.

He would immediately send troops to these places, and do their best to collect the bodies of the innocent people who had suffered, and properly resettle the survivors... If no bodies could be found, they would only be buried in cenotaphs.

These people are so innocent, why did they suffer such a disaster?

With trembling hands, Li Tongpan put the memorial into his brocade bag. He stood up, holding onto the table, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

He was really worried. Although every word in the memorial was true, if he had not experienced it personally and witnessed it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that such a thing could exist in this world.

Just like he once suspected that the immortal who saved those women and children was not an immortal.

The weight of Zhan Huwei and Bai Shaoxia is not enough to make everyone believe it, unless...

"I will go with you?"

Sitting in the first seat, with his legs crossed and playing with a multi-faceted sphere, Tarona looked at Zhan Zhao who made this request with some surprise.

A fiery red dragon coiled on her head like a crown, and her two eyes, filled with the night sky, stared unblinkingly at Li Hengniang who was huddled in the corner.

When it sees ghosts, it wants to spit fire at them, but its owner doesn't allow it, so it is unhappy.

Yi Ke, whose hair turned mostly white overnight, looked more like a dragon than the Blood Demon Dragon. He woke up early in the morning and stayed by Li Hengniang's side. Even when facing an immortal who could easily kill evil spirits, he stiffened his neck and refused to move, protecting his wife tightly behind him.

Tarona had no hobby of beating up two birds with one stone. Besides, Li Hengniang and Yaya would not stay for long. Some ghosts would come and take them to reincarnate. She was not familiar with the proper business of salvation.

Okay, just protect it. Just be happy.

With two air fresheners right beside him, the Lord of Hell was in a very good mood and didn't care at all about the offense of a small mortal.

Mr. Yi and Mrs. Yi looked at it carefully for a long time, finally wiped the sweat off their foreheads with relief, and handed the tablet of their granddaughter in their arms to their poor son and daughter-in-law.

They understood the principle of the separation of yin and yang. Immortals were tolerant, but rules were rules, and they were more irreversible than the law.

They were grief-stricken, but there was nothing they could do but cherish this hard-earned time of reunion and leave as many memories as possible so that they would not have no memories of each other in the future.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw this and felt depressed. They also had wounds on their bodies, which were bandaged here and there. They looked very pitiful.

It has a bit of a beautiful and tragic taste.

Tarona adjusted her posture, the multifaceted sphere in her hand glowing with light, containing all the fragments she had found so far.

Her diligence played a big role, and these fragments together can form half of the key.

But there was no point in continuing to search like this; she was so tired that she couldn't dig any further.

So Tarona came up with an idea. He bought a prop from the system store, put all the fragments in it, added a few magic spells, and made a simple attractor.

She has half of the fragment in her hand, which means she also has half of the control over the [Key of Morning Star]. As long as no one deliberately collects the other half of the fragments and puts them together to compete with her for control, she can use this half of the fragment to attract the other fragments.

Theseus: [Will it work? ]

Tarona couldn't guarantee anything, but she had a sudden inspiration: "Give it a try, it's free."

Zhan Zhao's original intention of request was definitely not as simple as he said, but his request just happened to suit Tarona's wishes.

She has already dug up all the land in the north, and the only thing left is the south. Even if Zhan Zhao doesn't say it, she will still change the map.

Just right.

The witch smiled meaningfully.

They were both from the Song Dynasty, so let her see whether the emperor during this period was wise or foolish. If he was an "acquaintance"...

Hellfire is still very excited.
