The array in front of Qing Xiong flashed, and a man in a black robe appeared. His face was rotten, and he was emitting a black aura. It was Yang Guozhong!
Seeing Tianma reappear, the demons were terrified. They were afraid that they would fall back into the days when they couldn't differentiate day from night and became murderers. They retreated and kept quiet out of fear. They thought that Tianma had been eliminated, so they were clamoring. Now that Tianma reappeared, the demons were still afraid of this natural enemy. They lowered their heads.
"Tianma's demonic aura has dissipated," Yuan Kun said slowly. "But the demonic seed hasn't been destroyed. The situation that you're worried about won't happen again."
The demons stared at the man on the stage with vigilance. At this moment, it was as if Yang Guozhong had become the main character. On the altar, "Hongjun" kept his head down and remained silent.
"Qing Xiong, what are you trying to do?!" Yu Zaoyun asked sternly.
Qing Xiong replied in a deep voice, "When Tianma reappears, all the demons in China must listen to her command. Even the Demon King in the human realm must obey her. Is there such a saying?"
The Battle Corpse Ghost King roared, "Qing Xiong! You're really possessed! "
Yu Zaoyun shouted, "Don't be afraid of him! He has no more demonic aura! "
The demons quieted down. Fear continued to spread under the altar. None of them dared to resist Tianma's tyrannical power. The beasts bowed their heads to show their obedience. The birds lowered their heads slightly and trembled in fear. The feathers on their ribs were slightly open.
"Sister." Yang Guozhong smiled at Yu Zaoyun.
Yu Zaoyun panted slightly with tears in her eyes.
Qing Xiong said slowly, "What if we become the next Tianma?"
"Think of your king." A clear voice sounded from the top of the wall outside the altar.
Under the sunlight, Li Jinglong and the other exorcists finally appeared! Everyone held their Acalanatha artifacts and pointed at the central altar.
Qing Xiong showed a strange smile, "You're finally here, our guest. We've been waiting for you for too long."
Li Jinglong said in a deep voice, "During the war between humans, demons, and demons, how many people here followed your Demon King? Did he, who fought alone, think that this day would come?! "
Li Jinglong's sword of wisdom. the "Hongjun" in the center of the altar raised his head.
"I'm the Exorcism Division in the human realm." Li Jinglong shouted in a deep voice, "Today, I'm only here to kill Tianma. I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the demon race. Rise up and defend your king. I'm willing to make a thousand-year promise on behalf of the Human Emperor. As long as the Exorcism Division exists, we'll never kill the innocent!"
The demon race stirred again. Yuan Kun and Qing Xiong walked to the center of the altar. Qing Xiong pressed one hand on the shoulder of "Hongjun" and said seriously, "Kun Shen has already let everyone here see the future a thousand years later and the fate of the demon race. How trustworthy is your promise? The human race is all treacherous and unrighteous. My people of the demon race, take down the exorcists. Your king will naturally no longer be bewitched. "
"Hongjun" immediately shouted, "Don't do it!"
Li Jinglong drew his bow and pointed the arrow at Yang Guozhong on the altar.
Below the altar, Hongjun's heart suddenly jumped into the air.
Yuan Kun looked at the high wall from afar and spat out two words coldly.
"Take him down."
In an instant, the arrow left the bowstring. The exorcists leaped and pounced on the altar. The demon race was suddenly in chaos. Under the command of Yuan Kun and Qing Xiong, the birds soared into the air one after another. The aquatic creatures turned into humans and leaped into the air to release ice crystals at the exorcists.
The demon race was divided internally. The bears and foxes, who had old grudges with the exorcists, rushed up the high wall to attack Li Jinglong. The rest of the tigers and leopards were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Qing Xiong and Yuan Kun took a step back. Hongjun stared at the two of them nervously, as if waiting for a certain moment.
"Follow me to save the king." The Ghost King raised his skeletal right hand, holding the rusted bronze sword tightly.
"Follow me to save the king!" Yu Zaoyun shouted. He then soared into the air and rushed to the altar. In an instant, fifty thousand ghouls and beasts rushed up the stairs and rushed toward the imprisoned "Hongjun"!
Hongjun was wrapped in the torrent, galloping on his horse. The world was in chaos. The exorcists' spells were almost unable to stop the waves of demonic beasts. Qing Xiong whistled and mobilized the birds and aquatic creatures to resist the attack of the Ghost King.
Yuan Kun muttered something. The altar suddenly burst into a strong light and began to rotate. The arrangement of the Kun and Peng immediately came into effect. The passage of time outside the altar became extremely slow. The movement of the fifty thousand ghouls and beasts slowed down involuntarily.
However, the birds and aquatic creatures in the air were not affected. They began to madly attack the army led by Yu Zaoyun and the Ghost King. In an instant, a flock of eagles spread their wings and grabbed the ghouls that were charging at the front from their horses. They threw them off the altar, and the ghouls and their armor were instantly torn to pieces!
The Ghost King and Yu Zaoyun tried their best, but they could not break through the influence of the Time Array of the altar. The situation of the world was reversed again. The exorcists fell below the altar, but they were affected by the Time Array and rushed forward at an extremely slow speed.
"Hongjun" turned to look at the Kun and Peng Kings. He gritted his teeth and rushed toward Qing Xiong. However, Qing Xiong only raised his hand, and he was pushed away and imprisoned in the air!
An extremely strange scene appeared around the altar. The exorcists, beasts, and ghouls rushed toward the altar, but their movements were extremely slow. The closer they were to the eye of the Time Array, the harder it was to break through.
"What awaits you will be …"
"Death."
Yuan Kun pulled off the blindfold and stood beside the Time Array. Qing Xiong turned around, and the two of them faced Yang Guozhong who was in the middle of the Time Array.
Yang Guozhong turned his body slightly and glanced at Qing Xiong.
"Living in this world in a different way," Qing Xiong said, "is to ask for benevolence and get benevolence. Have you been enlightened?"
"Come on," Yang Guozhong said, "I'm ready."
Then, Qing Xiong and Yuan Kun raised their hands at the same time and cast a spell. Yang Guozhong was in the middle, and he let out a painful roar. He emitted a strong demonic aura, and it rushed into Qing Xiong and Yuan Kun's bodies! Yang Guozhong's skin and flesh were instantly destroyed, revealing his flood dragon form. Then, the Hei Jiao shattered in the wind, leaving behind the demon soul, the seven spirits, and the demonic seed that was surrounded by the three souls.
"No —" "Hongjun" who was suspended in the air and couldn't get away, shouted wildly.
"Hongjun —" Li Jinglong shouted.
Yuan Kun and Qing Xiong's bodies glowed. The altar suddenly emitted a huge flash, and with the eye of the Time Array as the center, it exploded in all directions!
With a loud bang, the exorcists, ghouls, ghouls, beasts, and even all the demons under the altar were swept away by this huge force. The high walls collapsed as if they were swept by a hurricane. The entire inner city of Luoyang, with the Ming Hall as the center, was instantly destroyed!
When the ashes dispersed, a prehistoric demon beast the size of a palace appeared. It had 12 wings, and its body was pitch-black. Under the sunlight, it reflected a strange blue light. Its body was as huge as a whale, and it floated in the air. There were 48 eyeballs on its head, and nebulae seemed to be rotating slowly in its eyeballs. Countless tentacles extended from its body and swept through half of Luoyang City!
The moment the giant beast appeared, the world turned pitch-black. It opened its mouth and roared.
"I'm the ruler of the Land of the Gods!"
Thunder rumbled faintly in the sky. The demons looked up and saw a sharp horn on the giant beast's forehead. Like a horn that attracted lightning, thunder and lightning gathered on the horn! When it waved its tentacles, the whole street was swept away, and the houses and tall towers on the ground were all swept away!
"Damn it … What's this?!" Mo Rigen shouted, "Why didn't anyone say that we should fight this monster?!"
"Kun Peng!" Yu Prefecture shouted in fear.
Qiu Yongsi was stunned as well. No one had expected that Yuan Kun and Qing Xiong would merge into one and turn into such a horrifying monster. Its huge body crushed all the attacks, and its tentacles spread out like an inescapable net. Every time it lashed out, lightning and frost would appear, and it was almost unstoppable.
One of its tentacles wrapped around Du Hanqing's Hongjun body and placed it in front of its huge mouth and sharp teeth. Lightning flashed on its horn, forming a circle of light. A deep and hoarse voice echoed in the sky. All the eyeballs spewed out black flames at the same time, and they roared, "Li Jinglong!"
The Ghost King of the Battle Undead shouted from the ground, "Prepare the hook ropes! Drag it down! "
The ghoul soldiers scattered and looked for cover. They shot the hook ropes into the air with their crossbows. However, as soon as they hooked onto the ancient giant beast's body, its tentacles swept over, and the soldiers were thrown off their feet.
"Send me up!" Li Jinglong shouted at Yu Prefecture.
"Send me up!" At the same time, Hongjun shouted at Chao Yun.
A long fish soared into the air, carrying Li Jinglong towards the ancient giant beast's mouth.
"It's up to you! Li Jinglong! "Yu Prefecture shouted.
Li Jinglong drew his bow and nocked an arrow. He stood on Yu Prefecture's back and flew towards "Hongjun". At this moment, his hands were trembling, but he was unable to fire the arrow.
"Hongjun" turned around and looked at Li Jinglong with a trace of despair in its eyes.
The giant beast's forty-eight eyes blazed with black flames as it roared, "Moths to the flame, extremely foolish. Acala Ming King, Mahamayuri Ming King, today is the day your divine power will be exhausted!"
Immediately after, the giant beast's horn blossomed with lightning. The moment Li Jinglong caught a glimpse of it, he released the arrow and flew towards "Hongjun"!
The Vajra Arrow flew towards the giant beast's horn with boundless radiance, but all the tentacles shot out at the same time and wrapped around Li Jinglong. Faster than words could tell, a clear shout rang out.
"Hold on tight!"
The Thousand Possibilities Chain flew horizontally and immediately wrapped around Li Jinglong's waist, dragging him straight out. The giant beast's eyes widened, and it immediately realized that it had been deceived. It let out a wild roar, and all the tentacles turned around and coiled towards the flying Ba Snake!
Yu Prefecture's body was stiff from the electricity. He crashed into the fake Hongjun and fell from the sky.
Qiu Yongsi was running on the ground, chasing after the ancient giant beast. Suddenly, he saw Hongjun falling from the sky and immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately summoned his flood dragon and soared into the sky. The White Deer turned around and flew towards Hongjun, almost colliding with Qiu Yongsi.
"Hongjun" fell and was able to escape. In the air, it instantly transformed into Du Hanqing and was caught by Qiu Yongsi. He and Qiu Yongsi looked at each other, and Lu Xu rushed over. Both of them were dumbfounded.
"How could it be you?" Qiu Yongsi was shocked.
Du Hanqing was about to explain, but the sky was filled with boundless lightning. Lu Xu looked up and shouted, "That's him!"
Qiu Yongsi immediately put down Du Hanqing and flew into the sky with Lu Xu. Du Hanqing said angrily, "You don't care about me anymore?!"
Then, Yu Prefecture fell from the sky. With a boom, the roof collapsed. Amidst the debris, he transformed into a human and couldn't help but groan.
"It hurts …"
On the Sky Battlefield, the birds had all scattered. The ancient giant beast raised all of its tentacles into the sky and danced around Hongjun and Li Jinglong. Hongjun held Li Jinglong with both hands and stood on the head of the flying Ba Snake. He stood proudly and faced the giant beast.
"You — —" the giant beast roared, "Can't stop the fate of destruction!"
Hongjun and Li Jinglong looked at each other, then looked at the giant beast.
"We'll only know after we try," Hongjun said. "Don't you think there's something wrong? You two. "
The black fire became more and more vigorous and suddenly exploded. The giant beast suddenly realized something and roared, "Xie Yu? Xie Yu — —! "
Then, the lightning that filled the sky above the giant beast's sharp horn suddenly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an inconspicuous spatial fluctuation. In an instant, in the sky and on the ground, running and flying, everything froze in midair.
Li Jinglong said, "Dream Realm!"
Hongjun said, "Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly."
In an instant, the fluctuation turned into a whirlpool. It expanded with a hum and then contracted again. Li Jinglong and Hongjun were sucked into it!
Yang Guozhong said, "I'll leave it to you."
That voice was like a heavy hammer that fiercely hammered Li Jinglong's mind.
"… Come to think of it, the Kun and the Peng have the power to see through the world and the human heart. They think they can escape fate, but aren't they also struggling bitterly in the tribulation?"
Shili Riverman, night. Xie Yu turned into Yang Guozhong and faced Li Jinglong and Hongjun.
"Leave this place," Li Jinglong said. "As long as you're not swallowed, we won't have any worries."
Yang Guozhong said, "My demonic power has already collapsed and I have nowhere to go. If not for the Kun and Peng demons using their true power to prolong my life, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long. The only reason they did this was so that they could devour me at the last moment. Qing Xiong was never afraid that I would escape. How could he not leave a mark in my three spiritual and seven physical souls? Even if I escape from Luoyang to the ends of the earth, the demonic seed will be found by them. "
Hongjun said to Li Jinglong, "Without the Sword of Wisdom, once they swallow Xie Yu, they won't be able to …"
"The Sword of Wisdom has been in Di Renjie's hands since the beginning." Yang Guozhong said, "When your parents died, this sword had already been used. Otherwise, how could he have shot Kong Xuan?"
Hongjun suddenly trembled. Li Jinglong said in a deep voice, "Xie Yu, if you don't want to escape, and you have nowhere to escape, then let's make a deal, how about it?"
Yang Guozhong didn't answer. He only silently looked at Li Jinglong.
Hongjun felt Li Jinglong's hand tighten.
"After being swallowed, will you still be conscious?" Li Jinglong said, "Why don't we take a gamble?"
"For a short period of time, I will still be conscious," Yang Guozhong said.
"Once your demonic soul fuses with the Kun and Peng." Li Jinglong said, "I need you to influence Yuan Kun and use Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Technique, just like in the battle of Chang 'an, to make me return to the past."
Yang Guozhong smiled and said, "Interesting. What do you want to do?"
Hongjun said, "You still want to go back?"
Li Jinglong nodded and said seriously, "I want to see Hongjun's father."
Yang Guozhong said, "That only exists in your dream. It's not the real past. Kong Xuan has already entered the cycle of reincarnation. What's the use?"
"You only need to promise me," Li Jinglong said.
Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice, "What benefits can I get?"
"If you have a corpse," Li Jinglong said seriously, "I will send your corpse to the Dragon Subduing Pagoda. Release your soul. Whether you want to enter the cycle of reincarnation or return to the Dragon Subduing Pagoda to accompany your father, it's fine. "
Yang Guozhong did not say anything. Li Jinglong said again, "After you die, your sins will be settled. Compared to being imprisoned in the Kun and Peng's body and never having a day of peace, I think it's better to deal with it like this to gain freedom. It's up to you."
Li Jinglong was about to turn and leave when Yang Guozhong said, "Wait."
Hongjun and Li Jinglong turned their heads. Yang Guozhong said, "Qing Xiong will definitely come to test you tonight. If he sees through your thoughts, all your previous efforts will be wasted."
Li Jinglong said, "I will disguise my thoughts."
Yang Guozhong replied, "Your every move will be under his and Yuan Kun's attention. You have to be careful."
Li Jinglong knew that Yang Guozhong's words had already acquiesced to his request and reached a deal. He immediately nodded and said, "No need to worry anymore."
