“What the hell is this?!”
Looking at the ferocious black claws sticking out from the vortex of silver light, Yan Chixia, who was floating on the sword, could not help but be stunned, as if he had seen a ghost, no, a ghost had seen him.
The claw was extremely large and covered with jet-black scales. Each scale was at least the size of a house, and between the gaps, faint traces of golden-red light could be seen.
A glimpse of the leopard in the cage can give us a rough idea.
Just from these extremely huge claws, one can get a glimpse of how exaggerated its appearance is.
Yan Chixia has been in the martial arts world for decades and has practiced Taoism for ten years, but he has never seen a creature of such a huge size.
...I'm afraid only the legendary beasts from the mountains and seas can compare with it!
Just as Yan Chixia was feeling emotional, Zhao Lihe suddenly thought of a key question.
"Brother Yan, have you ever practiced self-defense techniques?"
"……certainly!"
Yan Chixia came back to his senses from the shock, nodded, and was about to continue answering when he suddenly felt a vague sense of erosion and tingling.
This pervasive sense of erosion is similar to ghost energy, but the source of its power is positive and masculine, which is completely the opposite of ghost energy.
The erosion was approaching, as if countless long swords were constantly stabbing her skin.
Yan Chixia sensed a strong sense of danger and immediately understood what Zhao Lihe meant, so he quickly made a hand gesture and the magic sword under his feet emitted a golden light, covering his whole body and isolating himself from the influence of that unknown force.
At the same time, the huge monster had already poked its upper body out from the vortex of silver light.
Silver light slid across the dark mask and ferocious fangs like water, revealing a hideous monster head, followed by two sharp black claws and black dorsal fins pointing upwards like swords.
As hideous monsters entered this world, an all-pervasive unknown force began to spread wantonly.
The air was distorted, and all the ghosts who had not had time to leave were corroded by this force.
The armor on his body quickly deformed under the influence of this unknown force. The metal surface corroded and deteriorated, and a strange light was emitted from the inside. The bones wrapped in the armor also began to turn black and brittle. The ghostly energy in his body gradually lost control, as if something invisible to the naked eye was constantly affecting and penetrating them.
Seeing this, Yan Chixia swallowed subconsciously.
After hesitating for a while, Yan Chixia couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Brother Zhao, what kind of power is this?"
Zhao Lihe thought for a moment and explained, "You can think of nuclear radiation as the evil spirit that comes with Brother Bai."
This is also called evil spirit? !
Yan Chixia widened his eyes and couldn't help but look at the black plain beneath his feet.
The ghosts on the black plains howled as the monster appeared. Their bodies continued to disintegrate and dissipate under the chaotic ghost energy and strange radioactive light, turning into ashes...
Yan Chixia's mouth twitched, and he began to doubt whether this was hell, or the other side of the silver vortex was the real hell.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the 180-meter-tall black monster finally stepped into this black underworld.
The huge foot made a roar when it landed on the ground, cracking the ground and raising smoke and dust tens of meters high.
"roar!!"
The black monster howled towards the sky and stretched out its huge body excitedly. Its eyes, which were relatively small in proportion to its head, rolled around and soon caught sight of Zhao Lihe and Yan Chixia standing in the sky.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, is this the hell you mentioned?"
A deafening sound echoed in the sky.
Yan Chixia had a strange look on his face, but what was strange about it was not the monster's behavior of speaking human language, but the other party's excited tone.
——They are not here to help in the fight, they are clearly taking the opportunity to visit the underworld!
Zhao Lihe nodded and said coldly: "That's right."
Bai Lang blinked his eyes and noticed that Zhao Lihe seemed to be in a bad mood, so he turned to look at the man riding a sword beside him.
"Are you Yan Chixia?"
“…That’s right.”
Yan Chixia suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, forced a smile and bowed, saying: "I am Yan Chixia, nice to meet you, Brother Bai!"
The white waves laughed loudly, and the sound rolled in all directions, blowing the golden light on Yan Chixia's body so hard that his figure was on the verge of falling.
Seeing this scene, Bai Lang knew that he was being presumptuous, so he quickly closed his mouth and tried to lower his voice: "Master Yan, I have heard of you for a long time!"
“…”
The muscles on Yan Chixia's cheeks twitched. He forced a smile and cupped his hands, wondering in his heart when his name had reached the ears of this living devil in front of him.
Zhao Lihe said softly, "Old Bai, let's talk about the greetings later. Let's kill the opponent in front of us first."
"no problem!"
Bai Lang knew that Zhao Lihe was in a bad mood, so he patted his chest with his short hands and turned his gaze to the Black Mountain in front of him.
"Is that the true form of the Black Mountain Demon?"
"It's possible..."
Zhao Lihe had just opened his mouth, but before he could finish, the black hill suddenly shook.
The earthquake continued, and the Black Mountain quickly collapsed. Huge cracks appeared on the mountain and spread rapidly along the mountain.
Endless black air emerged from the cracks in the mountain, and then rushed into the sky with a rumbling sound, dyeing the entire sky into a black curtain, and rolling back countless gloomy black air to the earth.
The next moment, the Black Mountain collapsed, and a huge black city slowly rose from the crack, revealing its true appearance.
The towering city walls are covered with mottled black stone bricks, dotted with black skulls and dead bones. Densely packed ghost soldiers guarding the city are crowded on the streets and walls, holding green ghost-fire lanterns and soul-binding chains with ghost-head whips.
Thick black gas rose from the ghost's body and gathered in the air to form a black curtain that covered the sky and the sun.
The wailing sounds of countless evil spirits, the sounds of chains and whipping, and the cries of wronged souls echoed between heaven and earth.
All the ghosts fleeing on the black plain seemed to have found their backbone and rushed towards the city.
Zhao Lihe and Yan Chixia stared at the gate decorated with bones. On the plaque on the gate were three large black characters engraved:
The city of the dead!
Seeing these three words, everyone understood.
That Black Mountain is not the real body of the Black Mountain Demon at all; it is the City of the Dead buried under the Black Mountain!
No wonder the Black Mountain Demon can command the ghosts to serve him, and no wonder he has such a large army of ghosts under his command...
It turns out that the Black Mountain Demon had already occupied the City of the Dead and might even have refined this famous city.
But then again, the City of the Unjustly Dead is, after all, an underworld city built by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to house the souls of those who died unjustly, and it is presided over by King Biancheng, the sixth king of the Ten Courts of Hell.
How could such a powerful underworld city be occupied by a mere Black Mountain Demon?
Yan Chixia and Zhao Lihe looked at each other, and a doubt flashed through their minds.
“Okay, okay!”
The wild laughter came from the City of the Dead, echoing between heaven and earth with indescribable excitement and excitement.
"Such a powerful demon body should be used by me!"
"Yan Chixia, I want to thank you for bringing this demon beast to me. When I take possession of it, I will make sure that you two will become my first blood food after I am reborn!"
"By then, you and I will become one, sharing the immortal path. Isn't that wonderful?!"
Along with loud and arrogant laughter, a black fog swept in, with cold winds howling and blocking out the sky and the sun.
Bai Lang flew into a rage upon hearing this: "How dare you, you Black Mountain demon, covet my body!"
Before he finished speaking, blue-green light lit up from the tip of the white wave, transforming into a dazzling blue-green light ball that was stored in his mouth.
"Hey, you monster, take my nuclear holy light!"
Bailang opened his bloody mouth, and a blue-green beam of light instantly shot out, expanding layer by layer from the area around Bailang's mouth, forming a flashlight-like radial beam of light that blasted towards the overwhelming black fog.
The next second, the blue-green light column collided with the thick black mist that was too thick to dissolve.
The oppressive and heavy black energy only lingered for a moment before being completely annihilated by the terrifying energy contained in the blue-green light column.
In an instant, a blue-green beam of light shot up into the sky like a sharp sword, tearing through the darkness and slicing through the sky.
The terrifying high temperature burned the air, making the black air in the sky sizzle and disappear continuously.
The blue-green beam of light continued to shoot towards the City of the Dead, and fell down in front of the horrified eyes of the ghosts on the city wall.
The curtain formed by black air was like a fragile bubble that broke at the slightest touch. A blue-green light beam slanted down into the city from above. The high temperature instantly vaporized the black stone bricks on the ground, revealing the black underworld underneath.
All the ghosts touched by the light column evaporated instantly. After their souls left their bodies, they also disappeared in the dazzling light.
In this impartial holy light of nuclear peace, no matter if they were wronged souls or evil spirits, they were all physically liberated in an instant, and even the wails and screams of the wronged souls could not be heard.
“This…how is this possible?!”
The Black Mountain Old Demon's terrified voice echoed in the darkness, and it was obvious that he no longer had the confidence he had before.
Bai Lang snorted, and then increased his power output again. The blue-green light column suddenly surged and expanded layer by layer.
The edge of the light column instantly covered the entire City of the Dead, burning the towering city walls and even the underworld outside the walls.
“No…No!”
Along with the unwilling roar of the Black Mountain Old Demon, the entire City of the Dead was like a stain on a drawing board, completely wiped out by the blue-green light column.
Bai Lang still felt unsatisfied, so he suddenly raised his head and a pillar of blue light immediately moved, like a sharp sword slashing towards the sky, completely tearing apart the darkness and revealing the misty sky of the underworld.
"Shut up, Grandpa!"
Bai Lang hummed twice and finally stopped outputting energy.
The blue-green light column lost its strength and turned into a stream of light that disappeared into the sky.
The light column dissipated, and the nuclear-level underworld finally saw the light of day again.
The City of the Dead that stood between the Black Mountains has disappeared, and there is only a bottomless circular pit left. At the edge of the pit is a long gully that stretches towards the sky, like Doraemon's middle finger, mocking the Black Mountain Old Monster who overestimates his own abilities...
