My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 764: The End of Rakshasa City
"The Goddess of Childbirth gave you the red hydrangea, and her own consciousness projection also dissipated, leaving behind only a clay statue without any abnormalities."

"Behind this clay statue is a stone door floating in the air. According to the Goddess of Childbirth, the dragon-headed guillotine you want is behind this stone door. Do you want to enter it immediately and take a look?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

Now it's just the last step, there is absolutely no reason for him to retreat, otherwise all the work before would be in vain.
"After you chose to walk into that stone door."

"A brilliant starlight engulfs your figure. When you regain your sight, an ancient and unadorned dragon-headed guillotine has appeared in front of you, emitting a sharp aura. You can even see the shadows of many remaining dragons lingering around. They are all descendants of the emperor, relatives of the royal family, and nobles who died under the dragon-headed guillotine."

"You have discovered the dragon head guillotine."

"The Dragon Head Guillotine (special item), one of the three guillotines forged by the Lord of the Secular World, can chop off the body of a phoenix or a dragon. It has a powerful suppressive effect on the royal family and all the royal family members. Even the Dragon Raising Technique cannot resist this power. Unless the Lord of the Secular World issues an order, any royal bloodline, no matter how skilled they are, will die under this guillotine."

"Be careful, because too many royal family members have died under this guillotine, so the blade is filled with resentment. If you want to successfully take this guillotine for your own use, you must withstand the invasion of resentment. Do you want to step forward and take this dragon head guillotine?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without much thought.

"You have obtained the Dragon Head Guillotine."

"Suddenly, a large number of phantoms of broken dragons appeared before your eyes, making blood-curdling accusations against you. The resentful spirits in them seemed to regard you as the culprit behind their killing, and wanted to drag you into the abyss of no return."

"You activated the Heavenly Drum Thunder Sound Technique."

"You let out a thunderous roar, directly dispelling the entangled resentment."

"The dragon head guillotine also made a slight roar, exuding a murderous aura, destroying the resentment entangled with the guillotine."

"You have successfully subdued this dragon-headed guillotine. What are your plans for next?"

"Will you choose to use the Realm of Life to give this cold guillotine new life, or will you choose to directly put it into the Heavenly Soldier Map?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and made his own choice. He opened the skill panel, found the Realm of Life and chose to use it.

"You have used the Realm of Life."

"The power of vitality surges out from your body, enveloping the dragon head guillotine and giving it new life."

"The dragon head guillotine transforms into a dragon made of black iron, circling and dancing around you. The aura emanating from its body is even stronger than before. The scales and dragon claws on its body are all evolved from the resentful creatures that once died under this guillotine."

Then, Jiang Xinghuo put it into the Heavenly Soldiers Map. He originally wanted to see if the Dragon Head Guillotine could activate the two places of punishment outside the Demon-Slaying Platform after entering the Heavenly Soldiers Map.

But the result disappointed him a little.

After the Dragon-Headed Guillotine entered the Heavenly Soldiers Map, it directly circled around the Demon-Slaying Platform, responding to the black giant dog transformed by the Dog-Headed Guillotine, and did not activate other new construction drawings.

But it was not without any gain. At least a clue to the whereabouts of the tiger-head guillotine popped up on the mobile phone screen.

"The three Qingtian guillotines complement each other and come from the same source. As long as two of them are gathered, the remaining third guillotine will naturally appear when it falls."

"You have obtained the clue to the whereabouts of the Tiger-Head Guillotine."

"According to the induction of the Dragon Head Chopper and the Dog Head Chopper, the Tiger Head Chopper is currently in the secular world of Lingnan, being controlled by an official. If you want to obtain the Tiger Head Chopper, you must go to Lingnan and find that official."

"But when you meet this executioner, he will also sense the aura of the two guillotines on your body. It will probably be a life-and-death struggle, so before you are fully prepared, you'd better not easily meet him."

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to continue exploring the Niangniang Temple? Or will you choose to return to Luosha City immediately to clean up the mess?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

Now that he has found the dragon-head guillotine, the tiger-head guillotine is not so important anymore.

Because the mastermind behind Rakshasa City is the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Guarding Court, and not one of the commanders of the Demon Hunting Bureau as the remnant soul of the Imperial College's chief academic officer guessed.

Therefore, the Dragon Head Guillotine can easily get rid of the two Dragon Lords. After finishing the affairs of Rakshasa City, it will not be too late to explore other places.

"You chose to return to Rakshasa City."

"You activated the Lost Shrine that was set up in Luosha City. The spatial authority wrapped around your body and instantly brought you to the shrine in Luosha City. The shrine also completed its mission and turned into ash and dissipated."

"You have arrived at Rakshasa City."

The power of the Lost Shrine is far from comparable to that of the real Fengdu Shrine. It is just a disposable teleportation prop and is very expensive. It costs several thousand incense sticks to use it once. If it weren't for the fact that the journey would take too much time, Jiang Xinghuo would really be reluctant to use this thing.

Of course, he now blames all the blame on the masterminds behind Rakshasa City. He will be able to get his money back after killing those masterminds.

"Where do you plan to explore first?"

"Would you choose to go to the Snow Wind Prison first and get rid of the hibernating Third Dragon Lord? Or would you choose to go to the old Rakshasa's home first and get rid of the Second Dragon Lord hiding there? Or would you choose to go to the other side and deal with the Fifth Dragon Lord first?"

The game gives three options: the three dragon lords of the Wind and Snow Prison, the two dragon lords of the Thunder Prison, and the five dragon lords of the Yellow Sand Prison.

The four dragon lords each seized one of the nine prisons of the Demon Hunting Bureau. Now, except for the four dragon lords who control the 'Heavenly Demon Prison', the other three dragon lords have gathered in the small Rakshasa City.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the three options and, according to the plan he had prepared in advance, decided to deal with the Second Dragon Lord and the Fifth Dragon Lord first.

If I attack the three dragon lords first, it would be too easy to alert the enemy. What if these two dragon lords sense the danger and escape from Rakshasa City, then all my work would be in vain.

"You came to the outside of the old Rakshasa's yard and unfolded your innate ability of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. Through the layers of restrictions and blockades on the ground, you saw a secret room a hundred meters underground. Inside the secret room was a rusty black iron hanging coffin, suspended in mid-air by several chains. It was not connected to the sky above or the ground below. There was only a thick evil spirit as thick as the ocean. In the coffin lay a shriveled corpse, wearing a black dragon robe, who was actually tempering himself as a zombie."

"In addition, judging by the silver luster emanating from its bones and skin, it has already cultivated to the level of a silver-armored corpse. Among the evolutionary paths of several corpse-like monsters, it is second only to the Vajra Immortal Gold-armored Corpse."

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo read the description in the game text, he thought that the Second Dragon Lord was really cruel to himself and even dared to train him like a zombie.

Moreover, it has already been refined to the level of a silver-armored corpse. If the day comes when it is completely refined into a golden-armored corpse, even if I have the dragon-headed guillotine in my hand, I may not be able to be a match for the Second Dragon Lord.

Fortunately, I came early and chopped it off with a dragon-head guillotine before it became powerful.

In fact, thunder magic is the best restraining force against these corpse-like monsters. However, the Second Dragon Lord has taken away the Thunder Prison of the Demon Hunting Department. Even if thunder magic can have an effect on them, it is estimated that its power will be reduced to the minimum, so other methods must be used.

At this time, new game text popped up on the screen.

"You used the power of your Fiery Eyes to observe the Second Dragon Lord lurking underground, but he seemed to sense your observation as well. His cloudy and dim eyes suddenly opened, emitting two faint black evil spirits, as if he was looking through the ground and meeting your gaze."

"How are you going to deal with this next?"

"Will you choose to enter the secret room and fight this Second Dragon Lord to the death, or leave here immediately to avoid his attack?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the former without much thought, but before making the choice, he first found a breath-concealing talisman and clicked on it to use it.

"You unleash the power of the Dragon Raising Technique, and in a flash, you quietly appear in the secret room. The huge underground secret room is a self-contained space, almost the same as a palace. The coffin suspended in the air also flies up with a bang, smashing towards you like a huge rock from outer space."

"You dodged the black iron coffin that was thrown at you, and started a close fight with the Second Dragon Lord who was hiding behind it. You used the Mountain Breaking Fist given to you by Tiger Head Guardian, and with the blessing of the Dragon Raising Technique, the power of your fists was like carrying a mountain and wrapping the sea, smashing towards the Second Dragon Lord continuously. However, the Second Dragon Lord relied on his zombie physique to fight back and block, and ignored your punches at all."

"Do you want to activate the guillotine immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and chose no.

The Mountain-Breaking Fist that was taught to him by Tiger-Headed Guardian is a unique skill passed down by the Martial Lord. The Mountain-Breaking Fist is only the entry-level one, and there are two other variations: Earth-Splitting and Sky-Shattering.

But he had no chance to practice this set of boxing skills in reality, so his progress had always remained at the basic level of the Mountain-Breaking Fist.

Now, it is a good opportunity to use the Second Dragon Lord's zombie body to see if he can advance the Mountain-Breaking Fist to the Earth-Splitting realm.

"You continue to fight the Second Dragon Master with the Mountain Breaking Fist. The other party also senses the power of the Dragon Raising Technique and asks you if you are a surviving member of the royal family. Do you want to answer his question?"

"You ignored the Second Dragon Lord's question and just focused on activating the Mountain Breaking Fist. You can clearly feel that your proficiency in the Mountain Breaking Fist is increasing rapidly. If you continue like this, it won't take long for it to evolve into the Earth Shattering Fist."

In reality, a series of human-shaped shadows flashed through Jiang Xinghuo's mind, and weak electric currents were running around in his nerve centers, turning the mysterious essence of the Mountain-Breaking Fist into muscle instinct.

About half an hour passed like this.

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt a cool feeling bursting out from the depths of his mind and quickly flowing to every corner of his body.

Immediately afterwards...

A boxing style that was even more domineering and powerful than the Mountain-Breaking Fist appeared deep in his mind.

"Earth-shattering fist? It worked!"

Jiang Xinghuo's face lit up with joy, sensing the extra memories in his mind. He thought that his efforts were finally not in vain, and with the help of the Second Dragon Lord's zombie body, he finally honed the Earth-Splitting Fist.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo found the dragon head guillotine in the void drawer and clicked to use it.

"You activated the guillotine."

"You raise your hand, and a dragon shadow rolls up in an instant. Kill first and ask for permission later. With the special permission of the emperor, the murderous aura that soars into the sky instantly wraps up the Second Dragon Lord's figure."

"It is said that the Silver Armor Corpse is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is not harmed by water or fire. Even if struck by a thunderbolt, it can withstand it for a long time. However, under the fierce aura of the Dragon Head Chopper, the Second Dragon Lord did not even have the ability to resist. In an instant, his head and body were torn in two, and he became a headless corpse."

"You have killed the second dragon master of the Dragon Guard Court."

"You have obtained, Incense +7000."

"You have obtained the body of the Second Dragon Lord."

"You have caused too much noise here, and have alarmed the Five Dragon Lords who are in seclusion. They have sensed the aura of the Dragon Head Chopper. Do you want to go out and kill them immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation. He couldn't let the Five Dragon Lord find a chance to escape.

"You ride on the black iron dragon, the incarnation of the dragon head guillotine, and fly out of the ground to the sky above Luosha City. Then you see a strong aura rising from afar, accompanied by a vision of thousands of miles of yellow sand covering the sky and the sun. A tall figure is looming in the yellow sand, controlling the yellow earth in the sky, sweeping and crushing towards this side like waves."

"You have discovered the five dragon masters of the Dragon Guard Court."

"The Five Dragon Lords have discovered your tracks. The yellow sand is spreading like a tide, annihilating all life wherever it passes, and all is buried in the yellow earth."

"The blood, flesh and energy of those Rakshasas living in the city were also scavenged by the wind and sand. The huge Rakshasas city turned into a dead city in the blink of an eye."

"You have unleashed the innate ability of the Nine Deaths Cicada."

"You relied on your body to escape the attack of the yellow sand, and quickly arrived in front of the Five Dragon Lords. The red lotus fire slowly bloomed like a lotus, enveloping the Five Dragon Lords' bodies."

"Taking advantage of the moment when the Fifth Dragon Lord was in a trance, the dragon mouth with murderous aura bit the Fifth Dragon Lord's head. In a short while, the Fifth Dragon Lord followed the footsteps of the Second Dragon Lord."

"You have killed the five dragon masters of the Dragon Guard Court."

"You gained incense +7000."

"You have obtained the bodies of the Five Dragon Lords."

"What are your options next?"

"You found that after using the dragon head guillotine to kill the two dragon masters, the memories of the Yakshas and Rakshasas began to unlock, and the surviving citizens of Rakshasa City began to transform into Rakshasas and Yakshas, ​​becoming extremely ferocious and terrifying. Do you choose to strike while the iron is hot and kill all the Rakshasas and Yakshas, ​​or choose to deal with the three dragon masters?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to deal with the three dragon masters.

There are priorities.

These Rakshasas were powerless, so Jiang Xinghuo directly released the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, as well as the God of Han and Meng Po in his body, and let them move on their own to reap the surviving Rakshasas in the city.

He controlled the character to go into the Wind and Snow Prison, intending to deal with the Third Dragon Lord, the most hidden culprit behind the scenes.
