Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 23: Arise, fight for me!

"Ding Ding~"

Several crisp sounds landed on the ground, and Li Chunfeng reached out and grabbed them.

A bright mirror, a blood-red bone claw, and a blood-red throwing knife. A large number of demon cores, soul crystals, pills, and some daily necessities suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The enemy's space exploded, and most of the items were torn apart and lost into the void. The rest fell out, including several of the most important items.

He was the first to grasp that bright mirror.

[The Fixing Mirror, one of the key magical artifacts in the Nine-Eyed Demon Spider Array!]

It really is this thing.

Logically speaking, with this mirror, he should have been able to break through the city gate formation and escape from the city.

But the ordeal had only just begun, and he no longer wanted to leave.

[Netherworld Claw: A superior-grade magic weapon, crafted from high-level demon bone claws and imbued with nine magical restrictions. It can transform into a Netherworld Claw, sealing off all directions of space to capture and seize enemies. It also inflicts Netherworld Flame damage, capable of freezing and killing souls.]

[Blood-Transforming Flying Knife: Mid-grade magic weapon, forged in imitation of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Knife. Its blade flashes like blood, insidious and deadly.]

"As expected, murderers and arsonists live in luxury; his wealth is no less than mine."

Even at the moment of death, the opponent did not use any magical artifacts, which clearly indicated that there were limitations. After a moment's thought, Li Chunfeng understood that this beast transformation was different from the transformation of one's natal demonic pet, with both advantages and disadvantages, and to some extent, it also limited the killers' performance.

But without such restrictions, the killers would be too powerful.

The survivors have no chance of winning... except for him!

Li Chunfeng's benefits did not stop there.

Facing the enormous corpse of the Broodmother Spider, Li Chunfeng initiated the [Throne of the Night] necromancy summoning ritual.

A 'black hole' spread out from Li Chunfeng, transforming into an ancient contract formation. Several beams of black light rose from the formation like chains, firmly binding the corpse of the Mother Spider within. A phantom of a throne flashed in the void, suppressing all resistance.

"Arise, fight for me!"

The killer's soul that dominated the spider's body had dissipated, leaving only the spider's remnant soul, which he summoned effortlessly.

As the ritual concluded, the flesh on the corpse of the Mother Spider began to rot rapidly, transforming into a skeleton within moments and rising up, a new soul fire igniting within its head.

A mental link appeared in my mind—it was done!

[Broodmother Spider Necromancer Warrior, Tier 1, Level 10. Spells: Bone Spear, Web, Spiderweb Trap!]

His level was affected by his realm, and it decreased.

Judging from the magic category, it's more of a control-oriented role.

Better than nothing.

At the same time, the rumbling sound of heaven descending echoed once more in the minds of all the survivors and killers in the ancient city of Maha:
[The killer Yu Hua is dead; three killers remain!]

Upon hearing the notification, the fugitives and killers reacted differently.

The fugitives were naturally amazed, wondering who was so brave as to be able to kill the killer.
The attackers were extremely frustrated, realizing they were too late in responding and their teammates were eliminated.

They merely complained a little and didn't take the warning seriously, because killers could be resurrected. Little did they know, this death was a real death.

It wasn't until dawn the next day, when they discovered that their companions hadn't revived as expected, that they realized something was terribly wrong.

What followed was an even more frenzied search of the entire city.

“We cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise we will be punished for lowering the upper limit of the soul, but she can!” The fat monk, who looked like Maitreya, looked at the Holy Priestess who was the only one who was not a killer.

The pale-faced scholar nodded in agreement, saying, "No need to pretend anymore. Immediately instigate her to develop more henchmen and assimilate the city lord's mansion as well."

The fat monk said, "I remember there's an optional side quest in the Killer faction about finding the secret of the Chaotic Ancient Temple suppressing the Demon Spider. Let's take this opportunity to check it out."

"There's only one young monk left in that dilapidated temple on that low hill. They haven't found anything useful in all this time. We're new here, so we doubt we'll find anything either. Anyone want to go take a look?"

"I'll go," the Holy Consort said.

"Be careful, and contact us immediately if anything happens."

"What are you careful about?"

The Holy Consort's heart skipped a beat. "You mean that little monk... That's impossible. The location of Luan Gu Temple is so conspicuous. If the little monk is also a survivor, how could he possibly hide it?"

After thinking about it, the group realized that this made sense, so they said no more.

……

Li Chunfeng was digging a hole underground when he noticed the unusual activity below the mountain and had no choice but to come out.

Just as the Buddha statue was placed back in its original position, the Holy Consort of the Spider Mother Sect entered the temple with a group of white-robed followers.

"Amitabha~" The little monk greeted her with a trembling expression. He had just opened his mouth when he was grabbed by an invisible force and flew towards the Holy Consort like a kite with a broken string. The Holy Consort grabbed his collar.

The woman was clearly impatient, and said in a chilling tone, "Little monk, you only have one chance to tell me the secret of Luan Gu Temple."

"Pfft~"

Before he could finish speaking, a long knife pierced their hearts, and blood splattered on the two men.

"If you're impatient, then don't waste everyone's time! I'm busy right now!"

"Puff puff~"

As he spoke, another series of rapid thrusts followed, each stab mercilessly turning the Holy Consort into a bloody pulp. Blood gushed from her mouth and nose as she struggled desperately, but no matter how hard she tried, she vanished as quickly as sinking into mud. Like a lamb to the slaughter, she could only watch helplessly as a knife moved in and out of her body.

The people around her, belatedly realizing what was happening, were also engulfed in flames. Out of the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw several skeletons wreaking havoc.

[Killer Hu Minmin is dead; two killers remain!]

Killing the enemy would naturally expose everything.

Li Chunfeng also showed no intention of leaving.

The cave is interrupted by a dragon stone, and only a thin line remains before it can be opened up. So, let's go and find out what's going on today.

With the final blow, a loud "boom" resounded, and the Dragon-Slaying Stone was finally broken through.

Li Chunfeng stepped over the Dragon-Slaying Stone. There were also many skeletons in the passage on the other side. He continued along the passage and eventually entered an underground Buddhist hall. There was nothing particularly remarkable about the hall, except for a teleportation array imprinted on the ground.

As he entered the Buddhist hall, the sound of chanting suddenly filled the air, and a golden light emanated from the Buddha statue, spreading throughout the hall and shining on the young monk.

Li Chunfeng did not resist; he could tell that the golden light seemed to be confirming his identity.

Sure enough, the teleportation array beneath his feet was gradually activated, and he was instantly teleported away.

When he came out again, he was carrying a golden bowl.

[The Chaotic Ancient Golden Bowl: A rare treasure containing immense power, capable of suppressing demons from beyond the realm! Only the true successors of the Chaotic Ancient Temple can possess it!]

This extraordinary treasure cannot be taken away.

Li Chunfeng looked disgusted. Such a large secret room, yet there were no other treasures.

Then I sensed the message from the lantern ghost informant who was left outside.

They've arrived quickly!
The person is not good!
Li Chunfeng enjoyed ganging up on others, but didn't want to be ganged up on, so he simply went down the mountain from the other side, circled around, and ended up back on the Spider Mother Holy Sect Mountain on the opposite side.

He knew this mountain path well; this was his second time here.

Holding the Chaotic Ancient Golden Bowl, he once again fought his way from the foot of the mountain to the summit, and then into the heart of the mountain.

Amidst the raging battle, Li Chunfeng ignored the numerous cultists rushing towards him and, surrounded by a group of bone spirits, went straight to the center of the altar.

Staring directly at that single eye in mid-air, I felt a little apprehensive.

However, being timid and hesitant is not his style.

"It's just a statue. Anyway, once the tribulation is over, I'll say goodbye to this world forever."

He then offered up the golden bowl in his hand, and instantly golden light shone forth, enveloping the entire statue.

"hiss--"

A burst of ultra-high frequency sonar rang out in the mountain's belly, and the cultists who were still fighting against his clones all screamed in agony. The ferocious demonic spiders tore open human skin and pounced on Li Chunfeng's main body one by one, as if making a last stand.

Suddenly.

The air in the entire cave became viscous, the flames turned blood red, and a gale surged from all directions. The enormous phantom of the nine-eyed demon spider broke through the mountain's belly and rose above the mountain peak, transforming into a terrifying demonic shadow thousands of feet long.

A murderous aura surged into the sky.

Just a heads-up: all the dungeons in this book are speedrun dungeons; the first tribulation ends tomorrow!

Today is a special day, Lunar New Year's Eve.

On this joyous day, the sword seller also offers a few auspicious words:

May everyone enjoy much joy and peace.

May you live a carefree and peaceful life.

As the year draws to a close and a new year begins, the passing of time is fleeting, yet the fireworks of life continue year after year.

May your youth last forever, and may we laugh together in the spring breeze next year. May you still have dreams after weathering countless storms, and may your bright eyes and clear mind remain those of a young person. Happy New Year!

I wish I could have joy and happiness in both heaven and earth, every year on this night.
