Chapter 246 The inevitable battle [please vote]

On the banks of the Shadow River, the giant city that stood there had been completely shrouded in fog.

If it weren't for the occasional roar coming from inside, it would have been an ordinary foggy day.

In a daze, a huge black shadow stood up in the city and raised its fist high, but before it could be hit, it seemed to be dragged into the fog by something.

Even the roar became farther and farther away, became fainter and fainter, until it was inaudible.

In the west of the city, in a pig pen that smelled bad, a domestic pig was still pushing its own feces, as if it wanted to get out of the pig pen.

In the past, people in the city would stay away from places like this.

But now... it happened to be a place like this, and there was an old man wearing a luxurious brocade robe sitting there.

There was also a snake-head crutch beside him, and the area below his knees was a bloody mess.

The legs are missing, and I don’t know if they are missing or if they are retracted under the clothes.

He just rolled his eyelids and looked at the fleeting ghost of the setting sun. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, but did not laugh out loud.

Because there is a ghost looking for him nearby.

The pig brayed a few more times, and Zhu Ye turned his head and saw some feces being pushed out.

He smiled again.

Even a few days ago, when he saw such a scene, he would frown and leave.

But now... for some reason, he actually felt that this scene was a bit warm. He raised his hand and lifted the pig's ears.

It's not thick, so it's a good ingredient to go with wine.

If this pig ear comes to the entrance of Huangming Street and to Lao Cao's house, let him braise it and bring it back the next day with a plate of boiled beef and a plate of peanuts.

Hey, that taste is amazing.

It's a pity that those old guys who could sit at the table and drink with me back then are almost as tall as me.

But the drinking was still as strong as ever. When I went to visit their graves a few days ago, I poured the wine in front of their graves and they drank it all immediately.

For example, Chen Wenshan from the Chen family drinks the fastest.

Zheng Yanyu from the Zheng family drank very slowly. Zhu Ye thought that maybe the land where he was buried was too strong.

It affected the speed at which he drank.

If there is a chance, I will definitely move his grave to a place where he can drink quickly next time, otherwise he will have finished several pots of wine while he is still raising fish there with a cup.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ye couldn't help but want to laugh. When he was young, Zheng Yanyu had this kind of virtue.

So every time we had a drink together, he would end up sending them home.

"What did Mr. Zhu think of and laugh so happily?" The young man in green shirt leaned against the door frame next to him and asked with a smile.

Looking at him, Zhu Ye lost his fear and anger and replied naturally: "I was just thinking of a few old friends."

"correct."

The young man in green shirt clapped his hands and said, "I heard that before everyone dies, every bit of what he has experienced in his life will appear in his mind. It's very clear."

"When Master Zhu dies later, we can also see if it is true."

Zhu Ye looked at the evil spirit in front of him who was not much different from an ordinary person, and nodded: "Yes."

"Besides, you have died once, do you have experience? Why can't you remember this clearly?"

The young man in green shirt smiled and replied: "It's been too long, I forgot."

Seeing that Zhu Ye had no intention of talking, he looked at the pig next to him and said, "I think this person still has to look at reincarnation. No matter how capable he is or how many opportunities he has, it is better to be reincarnated into a good fetus. "

"Just like this pig, no matter how hard it works, in the final analysis, a pig is still a pig."

"Actually, Master Zhu, you are about the same." The young man in green shirt leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "No matter how hard you work in the lower-class world, death is death."

"But it's different in the middle-9 world. If you have many tricks, you will still have a chance to be reincarnated after death."

"It's really not possible, just like me."

He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Even if you die as an evil spirit, you can still live in the second life."

Seeing the proud look of the young man in green shirt, Zhu Ye leaned back and shook his head with a smile, "I'm tired. In this world, just one trip is enough."

"Besides, for a person like you who is neither a human nor a ghost, it is better to just die."

Hearing this, the young man in green shirt was not angry, let alone angry. He just looked at Zhu Ye in front of him with a look of pity.

"Master Zhu, I really don't know whether it's better to call you innocent or cute."

"Who do you think defines human beings and evil spirits?"

"As long as we evil spirits control the world...don't we become humans? Evil spirits, it's you who are responsible."

Zhu Ye slowly closed his eyes and smiled, "If you don't agree, you won't agree."

"I just never thought that I, Zhu Ye, would go round and round all my life and end up dying for the people of Wu City."

"This feeling...is really good."

Seeing that he had no fear of death at all, he was very relaxed and happy.

The young man in green shirt finally had a hint of cruelty and murderous intent in his eyes, "Ignorance!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around, but there was no movement. Zhu Ye, who was sitting next to the pig pen, turned into a thick book.

The wind blew the pages of the book, from the baby falling to the ground on the first page to the death of the old man on the last page.

One book is Zhu Ye’s life.

When the last page was turned, the entire book turned into ashes and disappeared.

When a ghost turns a book, he turns over a person's life.

Not long after, several evil spirits passed by. One of them, covered in water, looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, with a sad look in his eyes.

But it soon disappeared again, but more water came out of the body.

Like a farewell.

……

"Actually, I've always thought your big iron rod is pretty good."

The setting sun ghost spoke human words and made the sound of Fang Jie.

The man opposite him who looked exactly like him grinned evilly and said, "You want it? I'll give it to you."

"It's not me." The setting sun ghost was ventilating, delaying time so that his injuries could recover.

The evil spirit Fang Jie on the opposite side also had the same idea, so it was like an intermission, and neither ghost was in a hurry to take action.

"Oh, is that...Li Daoxuan?"

Xie Sui Fangjie seems to know a little bit of everything.

"That's even more so. Who do you think I am, Brother Li? I can appreciate your rags."

Xie Sui Fangjie said "Oh", "Wait, I will smash your ass later."

"Come on, come on."

The Setting Sun Ghost laughed and stood up. Immediately, raindrops were falling in the surrounding fog, even though it had already controlled a complete evil spirit.

But Fang Jie's true identity is still a Dongchun official who has never taken office.

The two fought together again, and the entire southern part of Shouwu City was reduced to ruins under their feet.

On the other side, when the fog completely enveloped the hand wizard city, all living people ceased to exist.

Evil spirits have become their final destination.

But this is far from the end of the matter. Fang Jie is sitting cross-legged here on the top of the dry moon mountain, and the moonlight stretches his figure.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and could clearly see that evil spirits were walking out from the north of Shouwu City, dragging their incomplete bodies towards the top of the dry moon mountain.

Looking at this scene, he slowly stood up and looked to the northwest. The mountains danced under the moonlight, still peaceful.

There was no trace of Li Daoxuan.

Looking beyond Shouwu City to the surging river in the south, perhaps the evil spirit has left. The originally turbid and dirty Yaoying River has gradually become clear under the moonlight.

Vaguely, Fang Jie seemed to see a huge figure on the river. Its upper body was that of an extremely enchanting woman, and its lower body... was an arthropod with six legs.

Seeing this situation, Fang Jie didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and said to a seventh-rate [Suona Master] behind him: "Notify the people, run away, Hand Witch City... is gone."

Even though it was hard to say the words, there was nothing I could do about it.

We can't really let all the people be buried here. Maybe a few will survive if they run away.

But if you stay here, it's all gone.

"Master Fang, you..."

"You guys go first."

Fang Jie lowered his head and sat down, closed his eyes, and said no more words.

Not long after, behind the Kuyue Mountain, stone doors opened one after another, and people swarmed out of them like ants, each trying to escape.

In the face of evil spirits, ordinary people have almost no ability to resist.

All he could do was escape.

So in this night, the people holding torches were like fireflies, scattering into the boundless wilderness.

……That night.

"Mom, look, there is a broom star in the sky."

On the wilderness path, a child suddenly pointed at the sky.

Behind him, a woman quickly pressed down his hand and scolded him: "Run away quickly. The witch city is gone, so why are you looking at the stars?"

"Mom, really, look, it's still a purple broom star." The child pointed to the sky again.

When the woman carrying the luggage heard this, she raised her head while muttering "What stars are you looking at?"

The moment she looked up, she suddenly discovered that there was actually a purple broom star in the sky.

And soon, the purple broom star separated again, and there was another black broom star.

Although it is not obvious, you can still see it a little under the moonlight.

One after another, these purple and black broom stars all fell to the ground. In that direction was...Shou Wu City!

On the top of Kuyue Mountain, Fang Jie, who had already run out of lamps and oil, suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"Just take a rest and leave it to me."

He looked at the black stream of light that fell from the sky and entered the city, and his whole body relaxed instantly.

This voice gave him a sense of security that was even greater than that of the Setting Sun Ghost he controlled.

After all, when he was poor and had nothing, it was the owner of this voice who brought him a sense of security again and again.

"The evil spirit in the city who looks as ugly as Fang Jie... stone table, come on!"

"Those who are going out from the north of the city, Zhou Yaya, you can go."

"Fifth Yanran, you and the Taoist priest are responsible for clearing away the evil spirits in the city."

As soon as Li Daoxuan landed, he arranged tasks for everyone. As they dispersed, he circled around and took the last step to the south of the city.

He looked at the figure that was gradually solidifying on the water and said directly: "Let's discuss it. You can go south. We won't get involved with each other."

There was no response from the surface.

Instead, a loud curse sounded from the other side of the river in the distance, "Li, don't be ignorant!"

Li Daoxuan listened to this unfamiliar voice, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's do this, and add another condition. If you are willing to go south, I will work with you to directly take the shogunate city and make it your palace. How about it?"

Nanfang didn't speak anymore, but suddenly, there were a few more ferocious auras.

But there was still no answer from the water surface, so Li Daoxuan had no choice but to sigh, "It's really not possible. You can go a little downstream and land at Shanshui City."

This time Yaoying Hezhong finally responded, a soft female voice sounded.

"You know what it means to be a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist."

"But there is no way. Rather than saying that I chose Shou Wu City, it is better to say that Shou Wu City chose me."

As he spoke, streams of water on the water gathered in the center, and finally turned into a figure.

[The pig-killer has not seen his true form for a long time, and the shadow river mother has come again. The difference from last time is that when the river mother came last time, there was a tall man supporting him, but this time, you have become the hand. Witch City Tall Man, your survival points +22 (blue). 】

Xu Shi even sensed the danger on the panel and sensed something was wrong, so he generously gave Li Daoxuan 22 blue survival points.

He glanced at it and calmly added it directly to the blood.

In front of him, there was a figure whom he had met several times before. She was tall and almost as tall as the city wall.

The upper body is human-shaped, with a beautiful face. She is wearing a one-shoulder long skirt, with white collarbones and half-naked breasts.

If you just look at this upper body, it will definitely make every man's head turn.

But if he looked at her lower body, it would calm down every man above her.

With three scarlet carapace and six insect legs growing on its side, it looks like an arthropod, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Strictly speaking, Li Daoxuan had only seen her twice before, once when he saw her sculpture in the Hemu Temple in that area.

At that time, her past, present and future were still enshrined inside.

The second meeting was when the matter was about to be resolved. At that time, I only saw her shadow in the distance on the Yaoying River.

It can be regarded as seeing the true body.

But compared to this time... those two times were nothing.

Only at this moment, seeing the appearance of this river mother up close, the pressure it brings to people is... huge!
Li Daoxuan even felt that each of her feet carried great pressure and supernatural power.

'I don't know how her strength compares with Qiu Wuming's? '

This feeling naturally emerged in Li Daoxuan's heart.

"You...can't stop me."

Hemu looked straight at Li Daoxuan, who was standing at the top of the city, and spoke in a normal tone, as if without any emotion.

"I'm just curious, why do you have to go ashore? You have done a good job as your river mother in the Shadow River. As for those grievances you had back then... To be honest, the people in the entire Hand Witch City have almost changed. Yeah, what are you still worrying about?"

Li Daoxuan seemed to want to have a good talk with this river mother.

But this is very inconsistent with his personality.

Yaoying River Hemu just looked at it and replied softly: "The Yaoying River is too small to allow me to turn over."

"understood."

Li Dao

"So even if I don't take action, you will take action against me when you come back this time."

Hemu nodded slightly and raised her delicate chin, "Indeed, there is really no need to talk about that."

After saying that, she looked up, and the surrounding fog suddenly became extremely deep. The two of them were only a few dozen meters apart, but they couldn't even see each other's faces clearly.

"Then I can only wrong you...go and die."

He Mu's soft voice spoke extremely cold words.

Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate at all. The domain instantly opened up to wrap around him, and the next moment, he felt like he was trapped in a huge mirror.

He was clearly still at the top of the city, but in just one breath, he felt like he had arrived at the river bank.

Not far in front of you was a temple. The temple door was wide open, but it was pitch black inside, and not even the sacred fire was lit.

Under the dim sky, the evening breeze blew, and the two red lanterns hanging in front of the temple swayed.

Through the candlelight emitted by the red lantern, Li Daoxuan vaguely made out the words on the plaque above the wooden door.

"Hemu Temple."

Just like what happened when Li Daoxuan and Fang Jie first came to Hemu Temple.

I remember that Zhu Jinglun of the Zhu family said at that time that this was the sub-domain of Hemu.

The main realm has a scope, and the sub-realm has a way out... So, am I falling into Hemu's sub-realm again?

Li Daoxuan looked back in the direction of Shouwu City. Under the dim sky, he could vaguely see the city gate open and some people coming in and out.

But when he opened the area, he found that he couldn't touch the city wall no matter what.

We can only look forward, but Li Daoxuan still doesn't quite understand what is going on in Hemu's field this time.

He had just opened up his territory to defend Hemu's territory, but he was still caught here.

I remember that at that time, the Hemu Temple was transformed into a temple ghost, and the way out was... to knock it over!

With one knife and one blow, Li Daoxuan almost cut the temple ghost into pieces and strangled him completely before he came out of the sub-realm.

So this time...can we use the same method?

Li Daoxuan was thinking when he saw a young girl in pink clothes walking out of the Hemu Temple, holding a lotus lantern in her hand.

She smiled at Li Daoxuan and said, "Since we are so destined, why don't City Lord Li go to the temple to talk about it?"

Li Daoxuan had also seen this man before. When he entered the Hemu Temple, there were three rooms dedicated to the past, present and future of Hemu.

Among them, the present is the current image of Hemu, and the future is nothingness.

And in the past, it was the girl in front of me.

"Gods, gods and ghosts."

Li Daoxuan sneered and swept the field away, but the result was that he found that the field was not aware of this person's existence at all.

Since the field was useless, Li Daoxuan's figure instantly appeared in front of her.

The familiar [Evisceration] starts.

But seeing that the butcher's knife had penetrated into the girl's body, the result did not change at all, and she was still smiling.

"I'm a guest from afar, but City Lord Li doesn't need to be like this."

Seeing that the lotus lantern in the girl's hand was about to unfold, Li Daoxuan's expression changed slightly, and he once again used his newly acquired common skills.

A customary technique unique to pig butchers - [Shaving].

[Shaving] that can shave off the opponent's soul.

With just one swing of the knife, the figure of the girl in front of him was torn into pieces like paper, and the scene in front of Li Daoxuan also changed accordingly.

In front of you is still the Hemu Temple, and behind you is the Hand Witch City.

But at this moment, Hand Witch City is... in ruins!
