Knife splashing

Chapter 638 A critical moment

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

If ordinary people encounter this situation, they would be in danger of life and death and could only fight for their lives.

But for Li Yan, it was a sudden blessing from the east.

The Gangling Order is not always available, but if there is something nearby when arresting a criminal who is unaware of the taboos of the underworld, the criminal will be taken away.

If it is something evil, we will not let it go.

Especially this time, the purpose is to capture the evil spirit, and the underworld general will come in person!

"Roar!"

Upon hearing the spell to summon the ghost soldiers, the old demon that came out of the coffin looked terrified and let out a shrill roar.

In an instant, countless paper figures swarmed in.

"go!"

Without any hesitation, Li Yan interrupted the spell, pulled up Zhao Luzi and retreated quickly.

Perhaps because of the monster that came out from the center of the cave, the people in all the coffins began to wake up.

They panicked and banged on the coffin desperately.

When Li Yan and the other man passed by, there were continuous banging sounds, and the scene was extremely shocking.

However, it was too late to rescue him at this time.

In the rear passage, densely packed paper figures have swarmed in.

Cold wind and fog instantly filled the entire cave.

Click!

The lid of one of the coffins suddenly shattered.

A huge man with a red face crawled out in a panic. He was muscular all over and was obviously a warrior.

He had just escaped and before he had time to check the surroundings, he was directly enveloped by thick fog and cold wind.

There were paper figures flying up and down in the dark fog, and suddenly they stuck to his back.

The sturdy man's body stiffened, his eyes quickly turned blood red, and he rushed towards Li Yan like a madman.

This is a tactic commonly used by paper soldiers.

If someone carries a protective magic weapon, the paper man ghost will find it difficult to approach and can be dealt with after possessing him.

The actions of the paper people are almost instinctive, and it is obvious that the controller is experienced.

However, in just this short period of time, the two of them had arrived at the center.

Li Yan ran while chanting the spell.

"The sky has its rules, the earth has its principles, the underworld is holding the souls, the living must avoid them!"

When approaching the central bronze coffin, the spell was finally completed.

In an instant, the wind howled all around and darkness spread.

A monster crawled out of the coffin, and had already jumped up, stretching its sharp claws towards Li Yan.

But seeing this, he immediately gave up the attack, pointed his toes, flew backwards, and fell directly into the coffin.

What is this guy doing?
Li Yan was feeling strange when he saw the heavy bronze coffin lid next to him suddenly close.

The other party's breath disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At the same time, the surroundings were surrounded by darkness.

Along with the rattling sound of chains, a dense and cold breath appeared.

One of them is even more heart-wrenching.

It was the underworld general who came with his ghost soldiers.

The large group of paper figures whizzing over from behind had no time to react and were enveloped by darkness.

Wow~
With the sound of dense chains, the ghosts in the paper figures were all tied up and dragged out as black smoke.

Like a deflated ball, these paper figures quickly collapsed, decayed, and fell to the ground.

In the face of the power of the underworld, the paper figures that made Luoyang City panic were completely vulnerable.

All of this was noticed by Li Yan's supernatural powers.

But he ignored it and focused all his attention on the bronze coffin.

The devil "Yang Shi" inherited the "corpse coffin longevity technique". The demon that his evil spirit possessed had obviously practiced a more powerful technique. He hid in the coffin without leaking any Qi. The Hades generals whistled left and right but couldn't find him.

"Close your eyes and wait for me!"

After giving Zhao Luzi a warning, Li Yan rushed towards the coffin with a knife.

He wasn't stupid enough to warn the Hades loudly.

Judging from the previous clues, the gods are not invincible, but more like residents of the Daluo Realm.

If they want to attack, they must lock onto the breath, that's why they have the job of "Living Yin Messenger".

In short, it is useless to say it, and it will violate the taboos of the underworld.

All Li Yan could do was to destroy the bronze coffin before the underworld troops left.

Before he could finish his words, the other person had already jumped out.

But something unexpected happened.

After his reminder, Zhao Luzi, who was supposed to stay where he was, seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked up, looked left and right, and then rushed into the darkness like crazy.

"You...fuck!"

Li Yan didn't expect that Zhao Luzi, who he thought was reliable, would cause trouble at this time.

He was annoyed, but he didn't care.

Li Yan took three or two steps to the metal coffin, put his hands on the edge of the coffin, and suddenly burst out with all his strength.

He has reached the peak of Hua Jin and is only one step away from Dan Jin.

The strength of his whole body is integrated. Although it is not as strong as Wu Ba's, it is also considered a divine power.

Even stones weighing more than 200 kilograms can be thrown for fun.

However, despite the burst of force, the bronze coffin did not move at all.

There is a spring mechanism inside!
Li Yan cursed inwardly but was not panicked at all.

He also has a plan for dealing with this situation.

There is also a school of thought about treasure hunting and exploring the mysteries, and some local thieves with superb kung fu skills, who often encounter traps when entering ancient tombs to explore.

They won't be like the newbies who foolishly use tools to pry.

You just need to use your listening ability to feel where the retaining spring is, and then use your supernatural power to break it.

An expert who is familiar with this method can easily open the tomb door with just a light touch.

Although Li Yan was not proficient in it, he could use it.

This method was taught by Zhao Luzi.

Placing his hand on the coffin lid, Li Yan's palm trembled rapidly, and bang bang sounds were heard continuously.

Soon, the sound changed.

Li Yan was delighted when he heard this, as there was just a simple bolt-like structure inside.

After aiming at the position, he suddenly swung his arm and the power of the palm-pulling and rolling movement burst out suddenly.

Bang!
There was a loud bang and a snapping sound from inside, and a crack appeared in the heavy coffin lid.

The Hades general and the underworld soldiers, who had not noticed their target and were about to leave, stopped immediately.

Streams of negative energy roared in, and the temperature around suddenly dropped.

Frost formed on the ground, and Li Yan's brain was numb from the cold.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, the coffin lid popped up again.

Before Li Yan could react, a pair of cold hands suddenly grabbed his neck.

Feeling the severe pain in his neck, Li Yan let out a low shout and grabbed the opponent's wrist at the same time. Two soul-breaking flying knives whizzed out and directly cut off the opponent's arms.

At the same time, the sound of chains rang in my ears.

The monster was unwilling to give in, but had already been locked up by the Hades General. A strong wind blew around it, and Li Yan's ears were filled with angry and desperate roars.

In just one breath, the darkness quickly dissipated.

At the same time, the evil energy in the old zombie's body also left.

As the ghost soldiers left, the darkness quickly disappeared and the cave became dead silent.

Click!

Li Yan tore off his two broken palms, and the bruises and broken bones on his neck quickly recovered.

He spat fiercely and looked into the coffin.

Looking at it up close, this thing is even more creepy. Its skin is black, purple, and wrinkled. It seems to have been dead for a long time, but its body is still growing, and it has become neither human nor ghost.

It turns out to be an old bastard...

This thing called "Old Yin Man" is different from a zombie.

Zombies are corpses that haunt the dead. "Old Yin people" are different from "Yang people" and refer to people who have died but whose souls still remain in their bodies.

There are some elderly people who have lived for a long time in the folk, and their temperaments become strange. They always like to stay in dark rooms, and gradually become afraid of light and bloodthirsty. They still eat, drink, defecate and urinate, but their bodies begin to decay.

The weaker ones will suffer the pain of their flesh festering day and night, becoming crazy until their bodies collapse.

Those who understand the mystery will hide in the dark places in the mountains to practice, and gradually transform into evil spirits.

Those crazy old witches in Wushan Goddess Palace have turned into "old evil spirits".

Not wanting to look at the other person's disgusting face, Li Yan quickly looked him over and took out the only bamboo slip from his side.

After putting it in his arms, he turned his head and looked.

The cave was now in a mess, with burnt and collapsed paper figures all over the ground.

Many of the coffins had cracked open, and the faces of the people inside were as white as paint, and their bodies were covered with frost. It was obvious that they had been possessed by the paper dolls and were extremely unlucky, so they were taken away by the soldiers of the underworld.

Next to one of the coffins, Zhao Luzi was kneeling on the ground.

He had already fainted, and both of his wrists were cut and bleeding.

The coffin was covered with talismans drawn with blood from palms.

Obviously, Zhao Luzi was willing to sacrifice his energy and blood to protect the person in the coffin.

Li Yan had already guessed who was in the coffin. He approached with a gloomy face and kicked the coffin lid away.

Call ~
A figure came towards him accompanied by a cold wind.

It was Feng Feiyan, the pretty shopkeeper of Fenglai Inn in Chang'an City.

At this time, her face was bruised and purple, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was a paper man stuck behind her.

It turns out that Feng Feiyan, who had practiced kung fu, was also noticed by the paper man and used as a parasite.

To prevent him from being taken away by the evil soldiers, Zhao Luzi sealed him in a coffin.

Facing the attacking Feng Feiyan, Li Yan remained calm. He suddenly raised his hand and held her neck in the air.

Wow~
The densely packed Three Elements Demon-Suppressing Coins on the arm guard “Thousand Thoughts” trembled at the same time.

The huge yin energy directly blew away the paper figure behind him.

Before he even hit the ground, he was nailed in the air and torn into pieces by the Soul-Breaking Flying Knife.

Li Yan pinched Feng Feiyan's neck, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well what kind of person Zhao Luzi was.

Feng Feiyan was originally a opportunistic person and also a spy from the Duwei Division. It might be because of this woman that Zhao Luzi left Guanzhong and encountered these disasters.

"Don't…"

A weak voice came from the ground, and it turned out that Zhao Luzi had woken up.

He sensed Li Yan's murderous intent, his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of pleading.

What is going on here?

Li Yan was annoyed, but he didn't do anything else and put Feng Feiyan on the ground.

Although Zhao Luzi was simple and honest, he was smart and knew what Li Yan was thinking. He shook his head weakly and said, "Brother Li, it has nothing to do with my wife. If she hadn't risked her life to save me, I would have died in Guanzhong."

"Ok?"

Li Yan was a little surprised. He was about to ask, but he suddenly looked up and felt a chill on his back.

He could feel that there was a terrifying aura rising outside.

Carrying endless resentment and twisted evil spirit.

It is the demon army of the six nations that absorbed the evil spirit!
These things were originally suppressed in the six palaces of the fake underworld at home.

Xu Fu deliberately left a loophole, and the paper figurines and subordinates left by Wang Xuanmo to guard the place were destroyed by the underworld troops.

Today's fake underworld can no longer suppress the demon armies of the six nations.

At the same time, the cave rumbled and shook, and rocks and soil fell down.

"Leave first!"

Without saying anything, Li Yan pulled out a piece of armor, tied it around his legs, and quickly chanted a spell.

Swish!
A paper figurine of a straw spirit flew into the air.

As Li Yan chanted the spell, the wind howled and a huge black shadow overlapped with the paper man.

The one invited this time is "the giant celestial warrior who pursues and executes Marshal Meng."

Among the eight generals of the inner altar, he is the most powerful.

Blessed by Marshal Meng's divine power, Li Yan felt a huge force rising from the soles of his feet, his arm muscles swelled, and his strength increased a lot out of thin air.

"Nogao! Six Jia and nine chapters, the sky is round and the earth is square, there are four seasons and five elements, the sun and the moon are the light..."

As the Northern Emperor's Divine Travel Curse was uttered, a violent wind suddenly howled all around.

Li Yan didn't explain. He just grabbed the two men's arms, stepped on the ground with his left foot, and rushed out of the cave surrounded by a strong wind.

There are different levels of Jia Ma Shu. Originally, with his level of skill, he could only lead one person forward. But with the blessing of Marshal Meng's divine power, it was effortless for him to hold two people and perform the divine movement.

When I got out of the cave, I saw that something strange had happened outside.

All they saw were coffins stacked up in all directions, with broken lids, and inside were pale-faced people in black robes.

These monsters are all subordinates of Wang Xuanmo, and they have practiced the "Corpse Immortality Technique".

They manipulated paper figures to cause trouble, and their souls were also taken to the underworld.

The fake Luofeng Six Palaces that were suppressing the demon armies of the six nations were also roaring at this moment, with bricks, stones and tiles falling off.

Cracks also appeared on the stone tablet standing outside the palace gate.

"go!"

Li Yan just took a look and then grabbed the two of them and ran down the mountain.

With the blessing of the armor horse, his speed was astonishingly fast.

The wind was howling and soon it came down the mountain.

The underworld at the foot of the mountain was also on the verge of collapse.

The wronged souls of the sorcerers from the six countries that were trapped in the dark fog have now returned to their original appearance, with blood-colored evil energy surging all over their bodies. They madly hit the stone walls of the underworld, and the sacred wood from the Three Emperors' Mausoleum that was used as crossbeams was also decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this situation, Li Yan was suddenly in trouble.

If you want to leave, you must go through the underworld, but given the current situation, I'm afraid you can only fight your way out.

The magic of speed could not be used and could not take the two weak people away.

"Brother Li, please leave quickly."

Zhao Luzi panted and said, "Don't worry about us..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Yan cursed and prepared to fight his way out.

hum!
Just then, a sound came from the other side of the Styx.

Yin Jiuge showed up, with his left hand pinching the thumb and pressing the base of the ring finger, with the remaining three fingers standing upright.

This is the "Taishan Seal", which symbolizes the Lord of Mount Tai suppressing ghosts;

The feet turn after three steps, which is the "Three Reversals of Yu Bu", which is in line with Qin's belief in water virtue.

At the same time, the old man took out a handful of five-colored soil from the leather bag at his waist, suddenly sprinkled it into the air, and said loudly:
"Hou Tu is the proof, Lishan is the tomb! The five colors are a curse, and the underworld is blocked—!"

This is the "Five Sacrifices to Suppress Evil" of the Hades Cult, a secret teaching of the Qin Palace.

It is recorded in the "Qin Bamboo Slips·Daily Book" that the "Five Sacrifices" are door, house, well, stove and Zhonglu.

The Dark Cult originated from the secret prayers of the Qin Palace, so they were naturally familiar with this method.

This technique was considered the official orthodox one during the Qin Dynasty and was no less powerful than the current Taoist orthodoxy.

As the five-colored soil fell from the sky, dust flew all around and the smell of incense rose. The underworld, which had been in turmoil, suddenly became quiet.

Li Yan jumped up without hesitation, leaped onto the top of the underworld, stepped on the collapsed and fallen wooden beams of the Three Emperors' Mausoleum, and passed directly over the heads of the wronged souls of the magicians of the six countries.

After passing through the underworld, he walked on the waves and came to the other side of the River Styx.

"Come on!"

At this time, Yin Jiuge's face was covered in bruises and his nose was bleeding.

Obviously, using the Qin Palace secret method had caused him considerable damage.

Li Yan grabbed Zhao Luzi and the other man, Yin Jiuge used the escape technique, and several people ran towards the exit frantically.

Behind him were a swarm of five-colored corpse spiders chasing him violently.

These evil spirits hid in pottery coffins, and it looked like the coffins were chasing them.

As soon as I came out of the cave, I saw Lu San and others surrounding me.

"flash!"

Wu Ba roared and picked up the tiger squat cannon.

After Li Yan and his companions leaped away, they lit the fuse facing the cave entrance at the rear.

boom! There was a loud bang.

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, the underground palace began to slowly collapse...
