The Heavens: From the Transcendence of the Coiling Dragon to the Devouring of the Heavens

Chapter 143 A Chinese Ghost Story: Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons
"Let me play with you!" The burly man with the Five-Shape Fist roared and fell down again.

"Roar!"

Following a faint tiger roar, the huge tiger shadow appeared again around him.

Then, he leaped up directly, like a real tiger, and pounced directly in front of the strange clay sculpture. Then the tiger phantom stood up, raised its forearm, and slapped the clay sculpture hard.

In the void in the ruined temple, a sharp claw made of golden light suddenly appeared.

"Pong!"

The clay sculpture was knocked backwards and hit the wall behind the ruined temple, and the clay wall collapsed with a loud bang.

"Collapse! Damn!"

A wall supporting the ruined temple collapsed, and a large amount of mud, grass and trees poured down from the roof of the temple. The whole temple suddenly became shaky.

Strong winds and heavy rain all poured in from the top of the temple.

Lin En also wanted to kill the clay demon and obtain the origin points, so he naturally couldn't watch the clay demon being killed by the Five Form Fist and the Bearded Swordsman. At the very least, he wanted to grab the last blow.

"boom!"

Lin En jumped suddenly on the spot and landed in front of the clay sculpture. Then he swept his right arm like an iron rod and hit the clay sculpture directly on the waist.

"Kacha!"

The clay sculpture did not change at all after being chopped by the bearded swordsman's sword or hit by the tiger-shaped punch of the Five-Shape Fist. However, under Lin En's arm, large cracks appeared on its surface.

"What an amazing horizontal training Kung Fu!" The Five-Shape Fist and the bearded swordsman were amazed upon seeing this scene.

The Five Form Fist changed its shape from a tiger to a mantis. Then, the mantis's phantom's forelimbs, like a Guandao, fiercely chopped down the clay sculpture: "My Five Form Fist is not bad either!"

"Crack card wipe!"

The clay demon's body was already covered with many cracks by Lin En's punches, and now it was hit by the mantis's forelimbs. Suddenly, the clay on its surface began to fall off, revealing the densely packed and wriggling flesh and bones inside.

This was naturally seen by the three men. The bearded swordsman had horror in his eyes. He said solemnly, "It seems that this demon has killed far more than eight people. I don't know how many innocent people have died in this ruined temple."

Wu Xing Quan also started to yell: "Oh my goodness, we are lucky we came early. If this demon devours a few dozen more people, and his entire body of clay sculptures turns into flesh and blood, he will probably become a great demon in the spirit transformation realm, and it will not be so easy for us to deal with him."

Lin En also nodded slightly. As far as he knew, the realm of cultivation in this world was divided into four levels: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao. Above these four levels, one would become an immortal.

The three of them were all at the stage of Qi Refining and Spiritualization. So they had no problem dealing with the Qi Refining monsters, but if they were facing monsters at the Spiritualization stage, they would have no choice but to flee.

However, what Wu Xing Quan said was correct, they arrived early, and this demon is not yet in the Spirit Transformation Realm, so it is no problem for them to kill it.

"It is their honor to use their flesh and blood to mold my golden body!" At this time, the clay sculpture actually spoke, and it was furious: "You stinky exorcists are meddling in my business and ruining my Taoist fruit!"

"You devoured the flesh and blood of so many people just to build your so-called golden body! And you are so confident!" The bearded swordsman snorted coldly: "A demon is a demon! The world will not tolerate you!"

The bearded swordsman shouted, "The sky and the earth are boundless, and I can borrow the power of heaven and earth! Look at my sword-controlling skills!"

Whoosh!
As he cast the spell, the sword in his hand flew out of his hand and turned into a white light, shooting towards the clay sculpture.

"Pong!"

The sword light hit the clay sculpture, and suddenly there was a loud roar. The sword light actually went straight through the clay sculpture and came out from its back.

"Ah~Ah~~" The clay demon roared in pain.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" The clay sculpture on its body completely fell off, revealing the horrible appearance underneath the clay sculpture.

It was a body made entirely of flesh and blood, with heads of various appearances embedded in the flesh and blood, wailing in pain. Vaguely, the appearance of these heads could be seen. The hunters, merchants and the beautiful woman who had appeared in the ruined temple before were all among them. However, apart from them, there were countless unfamiliar faces.

These are the people who have been devoured by this monster over the years. Their flesh and blood have turned into the monster's flesh and blood, and their souls have been driven by the monster to become tools for the monster to harm people, or they can be called ghosts.

There were actually some golden lines flowing through this horrible flesh and bones. Amidst the horror and gloom, there was actually a hint of holiness.

However, this is not surprising. When entering a temple, worshipping the gods is the first reaction of ordinary people. This clay sculpture has been worshipped by so many people and received their kneeling and incense, so it naturally has a hint of divinity.

After being hit by the flying sword, the clay demon was seriously injured.

"Good opportunity, I'm going to take your life!" The Five-Shaped Fist roared and transformed into an ape form. The black giant ape-like shadow wrapped him up completely, and then he punched hard into the demon's dense flesh and blood. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

One of the clay sculpture's arms was broken and flew out.

"Roar!"

The giant ape's shadow roared and punched out again, making a hole in the clay sculpture's chest. It seemed that his next blow was about to smash the demon to pieces.

Lin En suddenly jumped up, taking the lead and jumping directly in front of the demon. Then, he raised his arms high and smashed the demon's head hard like a mountain-splitting axe.

He smashed the demon's head into pieces and snatched the head.

"Hey, hey! I say you are too unruly! You are obviously my demon!" Seeing this, Wuxingquan was unhappy, and from the look of him, it seemed that he was about to fight with Lin En.

But the next moment, a hoarse voice came out of Lin En's mouth: "I only kill demons, and the reward belongs to you!"

"That's more like it!" Wu Xing Quan put away his stance and smiled, "But I won't take advantage of you. The monster was killed by the three of us, so the bounty belongs to us three!"

"My name is A Qiang who practices Five Elements Fist! May I ask you for advice?" The strong man who practices Five Elements Fist and calls himself A Qiang said cheerfully.

Lin En said in a hoarse voice: "Exorcist Lin En!"

The bearded swordsman did not say anything, but walked to the smelly flesh and blood scattered on the ground and started searching. After a while, he actually found a black token among the flesh and blood.

His expression suddenly became serious: "Trouble!"

"Hey! Big bearded man, don't scare me. Why are you in trouble?" A Qiang said indifferently.

The bearded swordsman raised the black token in his hand: "This is what I just found in the flesh of this demon. You should recognize what it is!" Ah Qiang took a closer look, his expression still nonchalant: "I thought it was nothing, just a Black Mountain Token. Nine out of ten demons in this world are related to the Black Mountain Old Demon. If you are afraid of this, then we won't exorcise demons."

The bearded swordsman shook his head: "This demon is different. He should be a subordinate who collects souls for the Black Mountain Demon!"

While they were fighting fiercely, the rain outside had stopped long ago, and just as the bearded man finished speaking, in the dim night, blurry figures appeared around the four of them and surrounded them.

Hunters, merchants, women, woodcutters... Nearly a hundred figures, all of whom were harmed by the clay demon. After they were killed by the demon, even their souls were imprisoned by the demon, and they could not go to the underworld to reincarnate on their own. Now, the demon was killed by Lin En and the other two, and they were finally free.

But because they have been dead for too long, they can no longer reincarnate. From now on, they can only be lonely ghosts until they completely disappear.

"Why don't we kill all these wild ghosts? To prevent them from escaping and harming people in the future!" A Qiang suggested.

Lin En also agreed with his opinion. Killing the clay demon just now provided him with 10 origin points. Killing these wild ghosts would definitely give him some origin points!

"No!" The timid scholar stood up immediately after hearing what Aqiang said: "I heard from several heroes that these people were killed by demons. How can you kill them again?"

"What are you talking about?" A Qiang glared at the scholar, and he was so scared that he hid behind the bearded swordsman.

The bearded swordsman shook his head and said, "I am Yan Chixia from Xuanmen. I have also learned some Taoist magic. I will recite the "Tai Shang Jiu Ku Jing" to save them and send them to reincarnation!"

"Wow! Big Beard, I didn't expect you to have this ability. Then go ahead and read it!" A Qiang still looked nonchalant.

Nearly a hundred phantoms knelt down upon hearing this: "Thank you, Great Immortal!"

"At that time, the Heavenly Venerable Savior of Suffering filled the ten directions, constantly using his mighty power to rescue all living beings from straying on the path..."

……

One after another, the souls of the dead disappeared and went to reincarnation amid Yan Chixia's mysterious chanting. Lin En watched it all with interest.

It is said that the "Taishang Jiuku Jing" is a scripture passed down by Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun. As long as you recite it with a calm mind, you can transcend the sea of ​​suffering. Yan Chixia used it to save these lonely ghosts, which was just right for the time being.

However, what really interested Lin En was the identities of these two exorcists.

Yan Chixia is a character in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", and Aqiang, if he is not mistaken, should be the exorcist who was bitten to death by Sun Wukong in the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

"So, this is a fusion world of the two? The combat power of the Journey to the West Demon World is extremely exaggerated!"

While Yan Chixia was chanting, Lin En looked at Ah Qiang and asked hoarsely, "What is the strength of the Black Mountain Old Demon you are talking about?"

In the movie A Chinese Ghost Story, the Black Mountain Old Demon is the demon king of the underworld. He is a spirit that has cultivated himself from a black mountain in the underworld. He has practiced Taoism for tens of thousands of years and has great power in the underworld. He is the king of demons and the king of ghosts.

It can be said to be the ceiling of the world's combat power.

But in the fusion world, he is obviously not qualified. In Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, not to mention the gods and Buddhas in the sky, even Sun Wukong could probably kill him with one hand.

"It seems like you are a real rookie among exorcists! You don't even know this!" Ah Qiang smiled and said, "The Black Mountain Old Demon is a great demon at the Hedao realm. He can be said to be one of the greatest demons in the world."

Lin En nodded in his mind: "The Hedao Realm? It's equivalent to the highest level of zombies, the ten thousand year old 'Golden Winged Moon Corpse'."

The highest realm of zombie cultivation is the "Golden Winged Moon Corpse" which is equivalent to the Hedao realm. If one goes higher, he will shed his mortal body and become an immortal. The immortals are free from disasters and eternal, and will not easily interfere in the affairs of the human world.

The Black Mountain Old Demon's cultivation level at the Hedao realm is indeed enough to dominate the world.

"By the way, do you know if kidney deficiency is...Mr. Kongxu?" Lin En thought for a moment and asked again.

"You mean Mr. Kongxu?" Speaking of Mr. Kongxu, Aqiang immediately became excited: "Of course I know, this guy is a bit of a show-off. Last time we met him, he even had four maids carrying him and throwing flowers all the way. Let me tell you..."

Lin En had to interrupt him: "I want to ask how strong he is?"

Ah Qiang touched his head and said, "Oh, strength! Mr. Kongxu is stronger than me, he should be at the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"

"Where is the broken leg that day?" Lin En asked about the strength of another person who appeared in the movie.

“How do you know about Tiancanjiao?” Ah Qiang looked at Lin En in surprise: “I met him not long ago. His strength is about the same as ours, both at the Qi Refining Stage!”

Lin En nodded slightly in his heart when he heard this. According to Aqiang, the story of Journey to the West to conquer demons should not have started yet. Because, in the movie, Aqiang can easily subdue Zhu Bajie. Tiancanjiao is stronger than him, and the strongest is Kongxu Gongzi.

According to Lin En, the strength of these three people is at least at the level of returning to the void. It is hard to say whether they are even at the level of integrating the Dao. After all, in the final battle, Master Kongxu was able to break Sun Wukong's golden hoop.

And Sun Wukong is definitely an immortal!

During the time when Lin En and A Qiang were chatting, Yan Chixia finally liberated all the wild ghosts and allowed them to reincarnate.

"Let's go! Let's go to the county town to collect the reward!" Aqiang said carelessly.

Lin En nodded. He didn't care about the rewards, but he wanted to get information about the monsters from the government.

Yan Chixia also nodded: "Okay, I will also report the information about the Black Mountain Old Demon!"

The three of them discussed and prepared to leave the dilapidated temple. The three of them were all at the Qi Refining level, so there was no difference between night and day, and they could still walk very fast at night.

"Hero, can you take me with you?" Just as the few people were leaving, the scholar carrying the book box said cautiously.

Hearing this, Aqiang said impatiently: "Stop nagging, let's go together!"

The scholar heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and hurriedly thanked them, "I am Ning Caichen, thank you three heroes!"

"Ning Caichen?" Lin En couldn't help but look at the scholar in front of him a few more times, but in the end he didn't say much.

The four of them walked along the mountain road one by one, heading towards the county town below.

It was not until dawn that the four of them finally arrived at the county town.

A Qiang took the evidence of destroying the clay monster and went to the government to collect the reward, while Lin En and Yan Chixia, led by Ning Caichen, walked towards a restaurant.

In order to thank the three people for saving his life, Ning Caichen insisted on treating them to a meal.
