Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 349 The power of the sky is unpredictable
Seeing the content on the scroll, Shi Lei couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

The kid who was always thinking about killing ghosts and saving people, the kid who confronted the "fierce god" on Mount Yi and was regarded as a hero, the kid who rescued his daughter from the "ghost attendant", the kid who invented the "fire character" to benefit thousands of people... The boy of thousands of people... turned out to be a traitor who colluded with ghosts?

He looked at the little eunuch in front of him, and said coldly, "Did this decree really come from the palace?"

The little eunuch shivered, wondering why Master Shi suddenly stared at him fiercely.

But he still replied respectfully: "Eunuch Cao handed it to me, there can be no fake."

The Eunuch Cao he was talking about was naturally Cao Tong, the eunuch who held the pen.

While the little eunuch was speaking, Shi Lei also saw the seal of Emperor Tianxing at the end of the edict.

His complexion became even more gloomy.

He doesn't think Gu Xu is a person who would rebel at all, and like Cao Tong, he thinks that Gu Xu has a bright future, and he has no motive or reason to collude with ghosts and rebels. This is not only extremely risky, but also ruins his reputation.

But after all, this is an order from the palace, from Emperor Tianxing.

In the eyes of the Qi people including Shi Lei, the Emperor Tianxing, who holds the "Tai'a Sword" and possesses the realm of a true emperor, is a god-like existence, invincible and never making mistakes.

They have always had a kind of worship and respect for this monarch from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that as long as he sits in Zichen Palace, Luojing City will never fall, and ghosts will not be feared.

Of course, the ghost king of Mangshan broke into the city with many ghosts today, which inevitably caused a crack in Shi Lei's original unshakable belief.

However, having grown up in Daqi's bureaucratic system, he still felt lucky that today's changes in Luojing City were caused by the emperor's dereliction of duty due to his concentration on cultivation.

He believes that as long as the emperor finds out the problem in time, everything can be solved easily.

Because of this, loyalty to the monarch and consistent admiration for his son-in-law collided violently, filling Shi Lei's heart with contradictions and entanglements.

"Father, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing his father's frowning face and sighing again and again, Shi Xiaohan, who was sitting on the stone steps next to him, couldn't help asking.

Shi Lei turned his head, looked at his daughter's big eyes that were clear and bright, free from worries, forced a smile, and lied, "I'm fine. It's just that there are too many ghosts breaking into Luojing, so it's a little troublesome to deal with. "

"Hmph, that's so poor, I can't even deal with a group of little devils," Shi Xiaohan hugged his slender arms around his chest, bickering with his father habitually, "Just now, Gu Xu and Ms. Zhao from Youzhou teamed up to kill a The 'Ghost Attendant' of the sixth realm. When this heroine recovers from her wounds, it's no problem to clean them up."

"Yeah, yeah, my Lady Shi Xia is the best..." Shi Lei followed her words, but his mood became more and more depressed.

Now my daughter's mind is full of Gu Xu.

He couldn't imagine that if she knew that her fiancé had become a traitor in the eyes of the emperor, would her pretty face still show the innocent smile of the past?
…………

Inside Zichen Palace, in front of Qianyang Hall.

Yan Guogong Zhao Changying and Mangshan Ghost King stood side by side, facing the Emperor Tianxing who was above Dan Majesty.

In the process of planning this revenge action, Zhao Changying had a thousand words brewing in his heart, and he wanted to confront Emperor Tianxing face to face in the imperial city—asking him why he secretly sent people to assassinate Qu Qingqiu, and asking him why he chose to kill Qu Qingqiu. The insidious and despicable trick of making rumors and prophecies asked him why he could tolerate thousands of miles of land, but he couldn't tolerate the Zhao family in Youzhou.

But when he saw Tian Xingdi's bright golden eyes, his words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

Not because the emperor sealed his mouth with magic.

It was because the emperor seemed to be standing in front of him, but actually he seemed to be standing on the nine heavens, looking down at him from a high position.

It's like heaven.

As the saying goes, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog."

The ruthless way of heaven will only act according to the established rules, treat all creatures in the world equally, and have no leisure to listen to the love and hatred of an ordinary person.

In front of this emperor, no matter what he said, it was useless.

So Zhao Changying chose to remain silent and act directly.

But the Mangshan Ghost King next to him moved faster.

As a resentful soul born in the Mausoleum of the Great Chu Emperor, it gathers the nostalgia for the homeland of several generations of Great Chu emperors, as well as the resentment of the subjugated country.

Therefore, the moment Emperor Tianxing appeared, it began to mobilize power from the "ghost servants" in Luojing City, and its aura rose rapidly.

This is why the Mangshan Ghost King is stronger than ordinary "violent god" level ghosts.

On weekdays, the "ghost attendant" can serve as its eyes and ears, mixing with the human race, and doing things for it that it is inconvenient to do as a ghost.

At critical moments, it can gather the power of many "ghost servants" into one body, making it burst into extremely terrifying fighting power in an instant, making it hard to guard against.

It was too late to say, but soon, Mangshan Ghost King held the long sword of Fengshui master Bai Chen in his hand, and stepped on the "free step" of swordsmanship master Su Hao on his feet. At the same time, he cast the "Undefeated Sword God" The first form of "Ping Tian Jian Jue" "Dragon Howl", slashed fiercely at Emperor Tianxing in front of the main hall.

The unique skills of the "ghost attendants" are the unique skills of the Mangshan Ghost King.

As a serious collector, after Mangshan Ghost King turns practitioners into "ghost attendants", he will search their souls, read their memories, and make all the powerful moves they have mastered into his own.

Of course, Mangshan Ghost King may not be able to fully display their charm for those high-grade moves that involve the true meaning of the Dao.

But it is better than its own strength is strong enough.

Even if these moves are mere appearance and unprepared, they can still display impressive power.

…………

In the city of Luojing.

Holding the long sword in his right hand, Su Xiao fought fiercely with his own father and two other "ghost attendants" masked in black.

At this moment, his mood is extremely complicated.

He couldn't bear to kill his father.

But his father's sword was merciless and deadly, so he had to do his best to resist it.

Suddenly, the three "ghost attendants" limp and fell to the ground in unison.

The brilliance of true essence on the blades of their swords were all extinguished.

The dharma body of "Lord Huode Xing" behind Su Hao also disappeared.

Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened.

…………

Another corner of Luojing City.

A young man with a thin figure and a pale face was holding a thick and long wooden stick, and was entangled with several officials of the exorcist department.

This person is also a member of the "Shenji Camp" of the previous generation. His surname is "Zhuang" and his last name is "Xingchen". He is famous for his stick skills.

But now, he has also become the "ghost attendant" of Mangshan Ghost King.

The people who can be selected into the "Divine Machine Battalion" are naturally not ordinary people.Under Zhuang Xingchen's dense stick technique, several officials of the exorcism department were already bruised and retreating steadily, and they were about to be beaten to death.

But at this moment, Zhuang Xingchen suddenly felt like a deflated ball, his legs gave way and he fell heavily.

The stick in his hand also fell to the ground, and "Gulu Gulu" rolled a long way.

…………

In a hut a few miles away from Luojing City and close to Mount Mang, a muscular middle-aged woman in a cloth shirt was sitting on a futon with her eyes closed.

This woman is a Gu master from Southern Xinjiang, named "Hu Ying", she used to be a member of the "Shenji Camp" of the previous generation, and now she has also become the "Ghost Attendant" of the Mang Mountain Ghost King.

Not long ago, in the courtyard of businessman Yang Changfu, Gu Xu had a thrilling battle with her at the level of spirit and soul, successfully erasing the "heart poison" she left in Yang Changfu's spiritual world.

But Yang Changfu was far from the only one who was planted by her.

At this moment, she is just like playing chess, manipulating these people who have been enchanted by witchcraft to create chaos in Luojing City, she is extremely busy.

But suddenly, she found that she had lost control of the Gu worms.

"Ah, my lord!" she exclaimed.

Immediately afterwards, she fell limply to the ground, and all the true energy in her body was sucked out.

…………

The power drawn away by these "ghost attendants" is now concentrated on the sword edge of the ghost king of Mang Mountain, rushing towards the emperor Tianxing in front of him with overwhelming force.

Like a galloping wild horse, like a flood breaking a bank, like a raging murderer, he vowed to tear this figure wearing a crown and a bright yellow imperial robe to pieces in the most cruel way.

The sudden burst of power from the Mangshan Ghost King caused Zhao Changying, who was next to him in the eighth realm, to feel palpitations—Zhao Changying felt that if he was standing in the position of Emperor Tianxing, he must do his best and show his life-saving trump card. Only then will he have a chance to resist this move, and he will have to pay a considerable price.

But Emperor Tianxing's eyes were still calm and indifferent.

Facing the thunderous blow of Mangshan Ghost King, he only made one simple movement——

Raise the "Tai'a Sword" in his hand, and slowly cut down from top to bottom.

Not like a swordsman fighting with a sword.

It's more like the presiding judge in the courtroom raised the "gavel" and slapped it on the table to frighten the prisoner in front of him.

The sword fell gently, but it was accompanied by the roar of thunder.

The black clouds in the sky dissipated to the surroundings, and thousands of golden lights poured down like waterfalls, from which one could vaguely see the phantom of the five-clawed golden dragon, and hear the melodious melody of fairy music.

This is undoubtedly a sacred and solemn picture.

As if the gate of the fairy world suddenly opened, the immortals above the nine heavens will bring heavenly soldiers and generals, soar through the clouds and ride the fog, and come to the world.

Seeing such a scene, many people in Luojing City burst into tears, ignoring the surrounding ghosts and kneeling devoutly towards the palace, thanking the great God and His Majesty the Emperor for not being here in the darkest and most desperate place. time to abandon oneself.

Mangshan Ghost King's full-strength blow was dispelled in an understatement.

But Tian Xingdi's sword is not only a sword of defense, but also a sword of counterattack.

Mangshan Ghost King's face suddenly became distorted due to pain.

It clearly felt that a powerful force, like Ling Chi, was cutting its spirit body, trying to separate it from Bai Chen's body in the most violent way.

At this moment, it already understood that Tian Xingdi's seemingly light sword was slashing on the level of rules - after the sword fell, there will be no evil spirits in Luojing City.

In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, and the evil spirit that came out of the ground also disappeared.

The "Jingshan Bi" in Mangshan Ghost King's hand also instantly fell apart, turning into shiny debris all over the ground.

The ghosts preying wantonly in the city, such as the red-eyed pig demon, chiseled tooth, roe owl, etc., suddenly had golden flames on their bodies, and each one was screaming in pain. In the blink of an eye, they were all reduced to ashes.

At the same time, the "ghost attendants" of Mangshan Ghost King, including Su Hao, Zhuang Xingchen, Hu Ying, etc., covered their heads and wailed in pain.

They have been under the control of Mangshan Ghost King for many years.

The mangshan ghost king's control spells have long been like towering ancient trees, rooted deeply into their heads, into their souls, and into their bone marrow.

Intertwined and difficult to separate.

But now, there is a powerful force that forcibly pulls this "towering tree" out of their bodies.

Some ghost servants with relatively low cultivation levels couldn't bear such terrifying power for a while, so they bled from their seven orifices, exploded to death, and left the human world completely.

Most of the "ghost attendants", because their self-awareness has been wiped out by the Mangshan Ghost King, have become vegetative people who can only lie on the ground and drool after they are out of control.

As for Hu Yun and Wu Danggui who were dealt with by Gu Xu and the others... Mangshan Ghost King no longer has the heart to take care of them.

Mangshan Ghost King's body is also not easy.

Although it resisted desperately, its spirit body was forcibly pulled out of its body, and presented naked in front of Emperor Tianxing.

And this body that originally belonged to Feng Shui master Bai Chen fell limply on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Afterwards, Emperor Tianxing raised his left hand, which was not holding a sword, and held it lightly in the air.

The air around the Mangshan Ghost King suddenly turned into an invisible shackle, fixing it in place, unable to move.

Mangshan Ghost King understands that this game is over.

For today's revenge, it has been planning for many years, but it still underestimated the strength of Emperor Tianxing.

The power of the Great Qi Emperor is by no means the power that an ordinary eighth-level monk should have.

It is a power that transcends the mundane and does not belong to the world.

"Run away." This was the only thought in its mind.

At this critical juncture, it used its mind to lock on an ordinary palace lady passing by in front of Qianyangmen—it planned to carve out a piece of its own soul, disguise it as the soul of a living person, attach itself to this palace lady, and use her to escape from this place. terrible palace.

However, Emperor Tianxing moved faster than it.

His clenched hand slowly fell.

Suddenly, an invisible flame shot up from the spirit body of the Mangshan Ghost King.

It seemed to have turned into a candle, quickly melting and evaporating until it turned into nothingness.

At the moment of dying, a phantom faintly appeared in the vision of Mangshan Ghost King——

The blue sky, red palace walls, gorgeous palaces, and white marble floor tiles all disappeared, turning into an impenetrable black-gray iron net, spreading from the feet to the distant horizon.

The blood-red, viscous flames burned blazingly outside the iron net.

And on its soul, there is a pair of shackles made of red-hot iron-I don't know if it was born with it, or it was put on it by Emperor Tianxing.

However, before it could fully see the contents of the phantom, it was completely burned to ashes by the raging fire and ceased to exist.

Emperor Tianxing's eyes also fell on Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan who was next to him.

Zhao Changying's heart shuddered.

Just now, when he saw the ghost king of Mangshan Mountain taking the lead, he had some careful thoughts - he wanted the ghost king of Mangshan Mountain and Emperor Tianxing to lose both sides in the fight, and then go to reap the benefits of the fisherman himself.

Even if Mangshan Ghost King can't beat the emperor, he can still test the emperor's strength and moves so that he can be prepared.

But Zhao Changying never expected that the Mangshan Ghost King, who possessed strength beyond that of ordinary saints, would be crushed and wiped out effortlessly by Emperor Tianxing, without any power to resist.

The unprecedented turmoil in Luojing City was easily quelled by Emperor Tianxing.

This made Zhao Changying feel uneasy.

He felt that his revenge plan might not be able to proceed smoothly - even today, he might not be able to leave the palace alive.

It's just that Zhao Changying still has a doubt in her heart——

Logically speaking, with Emperor Tianxing having such a strong strength, Mangshan Ghost King would have no chance to destroy the formation, ghosts would have no chance to break into Luojing City, and he himself would not be able to easily break into the palace.

The emperor's terrifying ability to manipulate the rules is enough to prevent today's disaster before it happens.

But why would he allow all this to happen?

Is it because he wants to lure snakes out of their holes and fish for law enforcement?
Or is it because he is really as high as a god and doesn't care about everything in the world?
Zhao Changying didn't know.
