Chapter 40: Sunrise City Transformed into a Demon
The raccoon kicked the stone mouth and broke it, then landed very lightly and bowed to Li Yanmo.
"master--"
Li Yanmo looked around, then pointed at himself and asked tentatively.
"Are you...calling me?"
"Master, you are joking. Apart from you, who else can be called Master? It is because of your teachings that we are able to have the fortune we have today," the raccoon replied respectfully.
At this moment, a ghost suddenly emerged from the ground and bit the raccoon.
Li Yanmo was startled and was about to speak out a warning, but before he could utter the word "be careful", the raccoon pulled out a bamboo pole and propped it up on the spot, dodging the ghost's attack with incredible agility. He then used his backhand to knock the ghost away and bowed again.
To be honest, Li Yanmo felt that this raccoon might be stronger than him.
"You're welcome...wait—us?"
Li Yanmo realized something was wrong.
There are more than just raccoons in his zoo.
While Li Yanmo was thinking, a tiger ran out along the wall and dispersed the ghost with one punch. Another snow leopard jumped out and smashed the earth demon formed by three ghosts with its two palms together.
At the same time, figures stood up on the rooftop where the flames were extinguished by the wind.
The people of Risheng City, who were rushing to escape the city, gradually slowed down their pace and looked on blankly.
All of them are animals, but their postures are like the heroes described by storytellers.
Leng Ningshuang and the other detectives opened their mouths wide, but Dao Hai himself was not surprised at all. He clasped his hands together and smiled slightly.
"Good, good - the seeds planted by Mr. Li with great effort have finally borne fruit."
"No, they are just a bunch of beasts! How can a bunch of beasts defeat the ghosts in the Ten Thousand Demon Banners?"
Although he felt something was wrong, Zuo Buqun still shouted stubbornly.
The animal warriors standing on the roof leaped forward and collided with the ghosts that were biting them.
There were only a few flashes of light, and the ghost was dispersed in an instant.
At this time Leng Ningshuang also reacted and looked at Dao Hai with a strange expression on her face.
The Dayu Dynasty hated Buddhism, so they kept studying it.
As a military detective, Leng Ningshuang recognized the martial arts used by those animals at a glance.
They are all Buddhist martial arts. Although they are not secret, they are not something that can be learned easily.
Dao Hai shook his head slightly, "I am just demonstrating it for them."
The immortal who was fighting with the elder of Qingshan Sect almost popped his eyes when he saw this scene.
He had lived for countless years and thought he had seen all kinds of scenes, but this was the first time he had seen a scene like this.
Even the monks who were hiding in the dark waiting to kill the monsters fell silent.
Feng Shouyun, who was fighting fiercely with an unknown monk in the sky, was also stunned when he saw this situation, and then he burst into laughter.
The addition of animal friends did not overturn the battle situation at once, but it did break the atmosphere of urgency and despair.
Shen Ziqing keenly noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere among the people of Risheng City, and immediately waved his hand, "Set off fireworks! Set off fireworks!"
Shen Ziqing also knew that in this kind of situation, it would not be useful to just shout a few words, so he pushed out a cart full of fireworks on the spot and lit one of them.
A stream of light passed through the dim street and exploded among the ghosts. Although it had no killing power, it illuminated the shapes of the ghosts.
Leng Ningshuang realized Shen Ziqing's idea and quickly called on other detectives to find the unfired fireworks.
Soon, colorful fireworks shot out from the edge of Risheng City and gathered towards the center, blooming one after another.
The originally ferocious and brutal ghosts were spinning around like headless flies, and then were kicked to pieces by the animal warriors.
Feng Shouyun laughed out loud, "It looks like your plan is going to fail—"
The unknown monk's face turned pale and he slowly retreated.
But how could the immortal be willing to fail like this? Seeing that the ghosts could no longer follow the three filthy thoughts bred by fear to track the people of Risheng City, the immortal hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out the demon relic.
"Damn it, it was just a little bit away!"
The immortal's eyes turned red and he opened his mouth to swallow the demon's relic. The elders of Qingshan Sect wanted to stop him, but his cultivation was limited. The air waves from the relic he swallowed blew the elders of Qingshan Sect and others away. At the same time, an extremely powerful suction force spread out with the immortal himself as the center.
The ghosts that were fighting with the animal heroes flew into the air and were sucked in.
Li Yanmo subconsciously resisted but found that the suction did not affect him, but Zuo Buqun, who was holding Li Yanmo's legs, floated up.
“What’s going on?!”
Zuo Buqun held on to Li Yanmo tightly, trying to resist, but as the suction force continued to increase, Zuo Buqun's body began to disintegrate.
At this time, there was another commotion in the crowd. Dozens of people screamed and flew up, and were drawn into the body of the immortal. Among them were Li Qiu's accomplices.
At this time Dao Hai finally understood the immortal's purpose and exclaimed in surprise.
“Transform into thousands of bodies, merge into one to transcend the tribulation… He is in the fusion stage! He wants to use the three filthy thoughts to refine all the people of Risheng City into ghosts, and then merge into one to transcend the tribulation with the demon relics!”
Although Zuo Buqun was only practicing Qi, he was still a captain after all. He knew that if he was sucked in, he would be doomed. He immediately pulled Li Yanmo to ask for help, "Brother Li! Lord Li! Save me!"
"Where did you hide your money?" Li Yanmo thought thoughtfully.
"The seventh grid from left to right on the fifth row of the underground bank!"
Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows, and Zuo Buqun thought that Li Yanmo was moved.
"I know where you hid your things, why should I save you?"
"ah----"
Zuo Buqun lost his grip and was sucked into the body of the immortal with a scream.
Li Yanmo felt very happy, but after that, his face suddenly changed again, and he looked at Daohai stiffly, "Should I... not do that?"
Dao Hai nodded, then shook his head, "The method this evildoer used to break through the Tribulation Stage is extremely insidious, and he himself needs to pay a very painful price. He must first sacrifice his own body, and then use Buddhism to refine more than hundreds of thousands of people into ghosts, to achieve some kind of connection between past and present lives."
"In the end, those hundreds of thousands of people were absorbed."
"The Buddha once reincarnated as a human to transcend tribulations, and this evildoer wants to use this tricky method to reincarnate as a human hundreds of thousands of times to transcend tribulations and break through the bottleneck of the fusion stage."
"But his plan has failed. Those dozens of ghosts are not enough to help him break through, let alone restore his original strength."
Daohai thought that Li Yanmo would be relieved after he said that, but Li Yanmo's expression became even worse, which made Daohai a little confused.
"Donor Li, did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, no, that's it. The more confident you are at this moment, the more unexpected accidents will happen," Li Yanmo waved his hands repeatedly, "He must know better than us, so even if it means a fight to the death, he must have some kind of confidence."
As soon as Li Yanmo finished speaking, he heard a long, shrill howl coming from the direction of the immortal.
The demon relic that was swallowed by the immortal shattered, a ripple swept out, and the entire Risheng City began to shake violently.
Everyone felt a tremor under their feet, the floor tiles rolled over, and the moist soil underground surged towards the direction of the immortal.
The entire Risheng City seemed to have come to life.
Dao Hai couldn't help but clench the Buddhist beads in his hand.
"The entire Sunrise City has turned into a demon!"
