Holy Bone

Chapter 1745: The Competition between the Demons in the Underworld

Headless Jin'an had a keen sense of Qi, and he sensed the aura of many powerful people among those who came ashore.

Among them there are many powerful Shinto warriors at the fourth realm.

He raised his hand and pointed out the former ones one by one, and asked the seven fairies and three elders around him about their identities.

There are only a handful of sects and families in the world today that can produce someone at the fourth level. They are definitely not latent dragons. There is no other outlier like him who has risen on his own without the support of a sect.

However, after asking around, I didn't recognize any of them.

Those powerful Shintoists either have their spirits shrouded in magical powers and divine light from magic weapons, or they change their spirits' forms. No one shows their true face and they all deliberately hide their identities.

"Master Chen, you have to be more careful with those people. They hide their identities and I'm afraid they have come with bad intentions. They are all here to compete for the rare treasures that have just been born." The three elders had a big change of opinion about the headless Jin'an and reminded him kindly.

Headless Jin'an nodded. Those souls with the most powerful auras had all been targeted by him.

He was not too worried about these people. At present, he had no conflict of interest with these people, and everyone could live in peace.

He looked around, trying to find any survivors from the previous shipload of victims.

That group of people was his biggest threat. Their comings and goings were mysterious, and no one knew whether they were human or ghosts, or what they looked like. According to his guess, if they were really coming for him, they were most likely the lackeys of the mountain god who had gone to the underworld.

As people from the living entered the Painted Corpse Cave in large numbers, the situation here became increasingly complicated. With good and bad people mixed together, it was easier for some people to take advantage of the situation and shoot him from behind.

He still has zero clues about these people.

As long as there is any clue to be found, he can use his Luogeng Jade Plate artifact to track and locate the lurker.

The current situation in the Corpse Painting Cave is truly turbulent and full of storms.

It was obvious that those newly arrived Shinto strongmen were not coming to the Painted Corpse Cave for the first time. As soon as they arrived, they looked towards the direction of the Immortal Kingdom ruins and were attracted by the strange vision of five colors and ten lights.

At this time, the dark shadow of the underworld demon in the five colors and ten lights was still rapidly expanding and was about to return to the outside world.

At the same time, the turmoil in the underworld became more and more intense, with corpse thunder, black wind, bloody rain and phantom fire constantly erupting, tearing apart the mountains and rivers, and the ruins. These were all world-destroying signs of the fierce battles between the great demons in the underworld.

Through these visions, we can see how fierce the fight between these underworld demons is. They have become completely blood-thirsty and are still fighting on their way back.

"These underworld demons are fighting so fiercely. Could it be that the rare treasure has been snatched by one of the underworld demons, and the other underworld demons are joining forces to besiege us?"

"This is very likely. Treasure hunters are most likely to be attacked by a group of people."

The shadow of the underworld demon was still growing, and the power of the aftermath of the fight that was transmitted to the outside world was also increasing. Waves of earth were raised in the ruins of the fairyland, and black cracks in the ground were torn open. A large number of ruins were swept into the air by the black evil wind, and then blown into powder by the corpse thunder, and finally drenched in blood rain and fell into the abyss of the cracks in the ground.

The aftermath of these battles even affected the outside of the Immortal Kingdom ruins. No one knew how intense the fighting inside was, and people were so frightened that they retreated again and again.

"Everyone, tell me, who will be the first demon from the underworld to rush out? The first demon from the underworld to rush out must be the one who has won the rare treasure."

"If I had to choose, I'd choose the Great Demon Ape. The other underworld demons are too murderous towards us, and they would slaughter human masters at any time. The Great Demon Ape is not that murderous towards us." "From an emotional point of view, I would also choose the Great Demon Ape, but in reality, the Great Demon Ape is not the strongest among all the underworld demons. There are many underworld demons that are stronger than the Great Demon Ape."

"I think that the Sky-lifting Demon has a chance to compete for the rare treasure that has been unearthed. Just by the fact that it dared to attack the Yellow Springs Ferry several times, its strength cannot be underestimated."

"I think it's very likely to be the Nine Infants Great Demon. Don't forget that the Nine Infants is a prehistoric beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Even if what we saw is not the Nine Infants divine beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the fact that it can dominate the underworld in the form of a Nine Infants and become a great demon in the underworld itself has potential and talents that cannot be measured by common sense."

More and more people are joining the discussion, and more people are expressing their opinions.

"If you ask me, the underworld demons that have won the rare treasures this time are not among the underworld demons we have seen. Don't forget that there are still a few underworld demons who have been hiding their auras and have not shown up. These underworld demons are the most cunning and dangerous."

Once this statement was made, it was recognized by many people. One should not underestimate the cunningness of the evil spirits in the underworld. If one is not insidious and cunning enough, one will not go far in the underworld.

"Master Chen, which underworld demon do you think will come out first, and which underworld demon has the greatest chance of winning?" Even the leader of the Luoqing Sect and the two elders of the Xiaoyao Sect were curious and discussed this question, and finally asked Wutou Jinan together.

Wutou Jinan kept staring at the colorful area, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "The first underworld demon to come out may not be the one who got the treasure, but it's more likely."

"These underworld demons are all extremely powerful. The gap between us and the underworld demons is like the gap between mortals and corpse-resolving immortals. No one can see through the strength of those underworld demons. It is meaningless for us to speculate who is stronger and who is weaker. It is better to wait for the result with peace of mind."

The three elders nodded.

At this time, the competition in the Five Colors and Ten Lights Divine Aura area had already come to an end. The first demon from the underworld rushed out. It was a demon from the underworld that had never been seen before!

It's not the Sky-Bearing Demon, the Great Demon Ape, the Nine-Headed Giant Demon, or the Nine-Infant Demon...

It was a demon from the underworld that looked like a skinny, hunchbacked old woman, wearing a human hair felt robe, with dry white hair and unclear facial features, and holding a chicken bone lantern. Although it was a hunchbacked old woman, its height was as tall as a mountain, and people were as small as dust in front of it.

“What a huge chicken bone lantern!”

"What kind of demon from the underworld is this? I've never seen one before!"

The three elders exclaimed.

Wu Du Jin An said solemnly: "That is not a chicken bone lantern. It should be a lantern made from the skeleton of some divine bird or demon bird that is good at controlling fire."

A hunchbacked old woman was seen holding a skeleton lantern. Every time she clashed with the big demon from the underworld, black gas and corpse fire would surge out of the skeleton lantern.

The hunchbacked old woman was being chased by the Sky-lifting Demon and the Nine-infant Demon. It was fighting one against two, with corpses and fire all around it. The violent collision caused a strong wind, which blew away the hunchbacked old woman's white hair, revealing a terrifying face with sharp teeth and a mouth that looked like neither human nor cat.

The crowd was shocked.

"Cat, cat-faced old lady... the devil from the underworld?"

"If a cat jumps into a coffin and encounters a corpse, it will easily come back to life. The old lady with a cat face is cruel and likes to steal and eat babies the most! The old lady with a cat face is a common evil spirit among the people. I have exorcised many demons in my years as a Yin-Yang master, but this is the first time I have encountered such a big old lady with a cat face who has cultivated to a great level!"

"Several demons from the underworld are chasing after the old lady with a cat face. Could it be that the rare treasure that was born this time was stolen by the old lady with a cat face?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise and made all kinds of guesses.
