Yu Kai and Wu Xiaohu raced through Fengdu City like lightning, pursued relentlessly by a group of ferocious ghost officials. Their shouts rose and fell, creating a chaotic scene.
"Young Master, we can't go on like this. We will definitely not be able to escape!" Wu Xiaohu looked terrified.
Yu Kai gritted his teeth, his eyes as firm as iron, "Don't be afraid, Brother Xiaohu, as long as we can get out of Fengdu City, we will have a chance!" Beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but he had no time to wipe them off.
At that moment, Fengdu City's defense forces were deployed in full force, surrounding every street like an impenetrable iron barrel. Yu Kai dashed left and right, desperately trying to find a way out, but every street was heavily guarded, like an iron wall.
"Listen up, people in front, stop immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" The angry shout of the city defense general was like thunder, resounding throughout the street, terrifying everyone.
Yu Kai ignored them completely, charging forward recklessly. His mecha instantly underwent a startling transformation, its shoulders rapidly reorganizing, revealing two cold, hard gun barrels. Its evolved weapon system roared into life, its back power system frantically absorbing psionic energy, transforming and compressing it at lightning speed into astonishingly powerful energy projectiles.
"Boom! Boom!" Energy shells flew out, carrying a terrifying aura of devastating destruction. Their unbridled force instantly shattered the carefully constructed defenses of the city's generals. The energy shells exploded within the defenses, shaking the earth and cracking the rocks. The powerful impact hurled countless ghost soldiers into the air. Stones flew around the streets, smoke and dust filled the air, and countless onlookers, terrified, fled in all directions.
He led Wu Xiaohu and charged forward with unstoppable force, leaving defenses crumbling and devastated wherever they passed. In the blink of an eye, they reached the city gate, but it was already tightly shut, with archers on the towers poised for battle.
"Shoot!" With the order, a dense rain of arrows whizzed towards Yu Kai like a dark cloud covering the sky.
Yu Kai flapped his wings, stirring up violent hurricanes that deflected the incoming rain of arrows. However, the rain was too dense, and Xiao Hu was unfortunately hit by several arrows.
"Young Master! Leave quickly. I'm already dead. Don't let me implicate you. Go away!" Wu Xiaohu's shoulders and chest were full of sharp arrows. The particle energy continued to dissipate, and his body became weaker and weaker.
Yu Kai refused resolutely, "Don't talk nonsense, I will never abandon you!" His voice was firm and his eyes were as solid as a rock.
At this critical moment, a figure descended from the sky like a meteor, his momentum so overwhelming and powerful that the rain of arrows instantly ceased. This figure was none other than the Ghost King of the Underworld. His hair was blazing red, his fangs were razor-sharp, and he held a demon-suppressing bell. His face was ferocious and terrifying, and he exuded a chilling aura of oppression.
Yu Kai stood with his head held high, looking straight at the other person without any fear in his eyes. "Get out of the way!" He shouted angrily, and the spiritual power in his body surged violently. He summoned the mechanical sword and held it tightly in his hand.
"I am responsible for guarding Fengdu City. How dare you act so presumptuously in my territory? Today I will make sure you are reduced to ashes!" The Ghost King shook the demon-suppressing bell, and the sound of the bell instantly turned into sharp sound waves visible to the naked eye, like an extremely sharp blade, attacking Yu Kai swiftly.
Yu Kai moved like lightning, instantly shielding Wu Xiaohu behind him. Using his mysterious spiritual power, he erected a radiant shield. The shield glowed brilliantly and continuously, successfully blocking the fierce attack of the sound wave. "Young Master, create a small space in your mecha so I can hide inside. That way you can fight with peace of mind!" Wu Xiaohu's face was filled with anxiety. He quickly pulled out the arrow from his body, sweat dripping down his forehead.
Yu Kai felt this plan was feasible and immediately activated his spiritual power, rapidly transforming the head of his mecha, creating a metallic space. Wu Xiaohu transformed into a stream of light and flew in. The hatch closed instantly, and the mecha's head closed tightly.
Yu Kai retracted his shield, his eyes sharp. He gripped his mechanical sword tightly, mobilizing the surging spiritual energy within him with all his might, and lunged at the Ghost King. His speed was as swift as lightning, a gust of wind whistling in his wake. The Ghost King dodged with agility, his movements as swift as a ghost. With a wave of the demon-suppressing bell, a surge of overwhelming force erupted, knocking Yu Kai back several steps. Yu Kai flapped his wings rapidly, barely able to steady himself. He took a deep breath and attacked once more with determination. For a moment, the two fought fiercely, each collision unleashing a thrilling surge of energy.
Yu Kai grew increasingly anxious as he watched more and more ghost soldiers swarm around him. Heibai Wuchang, clutching his chest, stumbled towards him. Although the dense psionic energy here had made him immensely powerful, Yu Kai still struggled to defeat the powerful ghost king before him.
He racked his brains in the fierce battle, thinking of a way to break through. He seemed extremely anxious. At this moment, Wu Xiaohu's voice came, "Master, let's fly to the sky and see if we can break through gravity and get out!"
"Alright!" Yu Kai swung his sword fiercely, a flash of light as dazzling as the blazing sun, sending the demon-suppressing bell flying from the Ghost King's hand. The bell spun and hummed in the air. He flapped his wings and soared high, stirring up a howling gust of wind as he rushed upwards.
"Where are you escaping to!" The Ghost King shouted angrily and recalled the Demon-Suppressing Bell to chase after him at a speed as fast as a meteor.
Yu Kai sped upwards, the higher he flew, the denser the psionic energy became, so dense it was almost suffocating. He pushed the power system to its limit, and countless psionic energies rapidly gathered like a vortex. He poured this tremendous power into his long sword and slashed it fiercely at the Ghost King below. The terrifying sword light was like a galaxy pouring down, smashing down on his head with a magnificent and awe-inspiring momentum. The Ghost King was shocked and immediately enlarged the Demon-Suppressing Bell and hid inside it. With a loud "bang", the long sword hit the Demon-Suppressing Bell heavily, sparks flying. The Demon-Suppressing Bell was knocked away by this terrifying blow, and with a loud "boom", it slammed heavily on the city gate, shaking violently, the ghost soldiers toppled to the ground, and bricks and stones collapsed.
Yu Kai didn't pause, charging upward at full speed. Just then, a figure with a leopard head, round eyes, a stern face, and a curly beard, dressed in a purple official robe and a black gauze hat, came chasing him from behind. Undoubtedly, this figure was Zhong Kui, one of the Four Great Judges. His eyes were wide open, as if burning with blazing flames. Holding the Heavenly Master Sword, he charged at Yu Kai with lightning speed.
Yu Kai's heart tightened. The aura released by Zhong Kui was too powerful, far surpassing that of the Black and White Impermanence and the Ghost King. He knew the situation was critical, but he had no other choice but to speed up and rush upwards.
