Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 22 Killing Ghosts and Gods
Li Fan and Li Hongyi stood there quietly, watching the grandfather and grandson leave.

Perhaps this is a good ending for them, as both the grandfather and grandson no longer have to endure suffering.

Sometimes living is harder than dying, and they are both trying hard to stay in this world for each other.

Li Hongyi felt complicated. This was a Lin'an County she had never seen before.

"Let's go." Li Fan turned and left.

"What should we do with the old man's health?" Li Hongyi asked.

"When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Look at Lin'an County, things like this are probably happening all the time," said Li Fan.

"Why have you become so hard-hearted again?" Li Hongyi followed Li Fan and said.

"If we have this much time, we can kill a few more monsters and save a few more living people." Li Fan jumped up and ran in Lin'an County.

Li Hongyi followed. Under the cover of night, the light of swords and spears flickered in the night sky of Lin'an County. Screams of monsters were heard one after another. Even after being killed, their bodies were cruelly cut open to take out their monster pills.

Humans are more brutal than monsters.

…………

The sky was turning pale as the morning light came out.

The people of Lin'an County spent another terrifying night.

In the early morning, many people come to the City God Temple to burn incense and offer sacrifices.

The less hope there is, the more people believe in God.

But apart from psychological comfort, the gods not only failed to bring them hope, but even made them fall into hell.

Outside the City God Temple, there were two young people standing, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and elegant, dressed in white as white as snow; the woman was dressed in red, and looked like a fairy.

This time, Li Hongyi did not cover her face with a veil, but showed her true face and changed into her favorite red dress.

The two men's looks were so outstanding that they attracted a lot of attention. Some people felt that Li Fan looked familiar and seemed to have seen him somewhere.

That beautiful woman looked like Li Hongyi from Lin'an County.

"It looks like we've seen it on a notice posted by the government." Someone murmured. Could that handsome young man be a wanted criminal by the government?
"It seems so. Let's go and report to the police."

Li Fan heard the discussions around him, but he ignored them.

"Miss Li, the incense is so strong, the City God must be very powerful. What should we do if we can't defeat him?" Li Fan said. Ghost cultivators can rely on the power of incense and vows. When the incense is strong, the ghost cultivators' cultivation will naturally improve quickly.

This City God is worshipped by Lin'an County and has many believers. The incense is constantly burning, so his power must be strong.

"You just remembered it now?" Li Hongyi rolled her eyes at him.

Now that you're here, are you going to run away now?

Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing?

"I'm young and easily impulsive," said Li Fan.

Li Hongyi glanced at him.

Ah!
"Let's go." Li Fan and the other person walked to the City God Temple. Looking at the statue of the kind-looking old man inside, Li Hongyi felt nauseous.

Is this the deity worshipped by Lin'an County? An old man of high moral character and prestige in Lin'an County.

She began to doubt everything she had known before.

The Chen family convened a demon-slaying conference but in fact they colluded with the demons to sacrifice warriors and women. The government's duty is to protect the area, but it is also involved with the demons. The City God is a ghost and god who protects the people, but it is the evil god who does evil.

Moreover, these forces must be connected.

Fulong Villa is notorious, but it shelters a poor female ghost.

What is true and what is false?
This black and white is reversed!

It only makes the people suffer.

"What are you two doing standing here?" the guard outside the City God Temple said to Li Fan and Li Hongyi.

"Of course I'm here to see the City God." Li Fan responded.

"In this case, if you see the City God, why don't you bow to him?" the man asked.

The believers around turned around and looked at Li Fan and Li Hongyi.

Yes, since you have seen the City God, why not worship him?

Li Fan looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

"I have a question for you." The man ignored Li Fan and acted domineering and arrogant.

"The City God Temple was built by several big families in Lin'an County and is managed by them together. I guess it's the servants of several families." Li Hongyi said.

The local wealthy families are in league with ghosts and gods, and are backed by the government. They truly have the power to control everything.

"In that case, it's not unfair." As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, a ray of sword energy pierced through the other person's throat. The man's face turned pale, and he looked at the two of them blankly, covering his throat with both hands. Blood flowed out uncontrollably, staining his hands red.

"You, how dare you..." His eyes were filled with fear, he fell backwards, his body twitched, and soon he died.

"Killed."

The surroundings were instantly in chaos. People who came to the City God Temple to worship did not expect that this handsome man would kill people in front of the City God.

Many people rushed out of the City God Temple, holding sharp weapons and rushing towards Li Fan.

Li Fan's mind moved, and suddenly a sharp sword appeared above his head. The sword light was like lightning, raging in the City God Temple. Suddenly, all the figures who came to kill him fell in a pool of blood.

Li Fan stepped on the corpse and looked towards the statue of the City God in the main hall. The kind-looking old man was looking at him. "Get out." As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, the sharp sword and Li Hongyi's spear hit the City God statue together. Suddenly, the statue made a loud noise and exploded and collapsed.

Swords and spears were used everywhere, destroying everything in the City God Temple.

"Crazy, they are crazy."

"Stop it now." Someone nearby was crying. These two lunatics actually destroyed the City God's temple. Who knows what kind of punishment the City God will bring down on them.

In a short while, the two men had reduced the hall to ruins. Li Fan and Li Hongyi walked forward, ready to find the underground prison. At this moment, a gust of cold wind howled, and in a blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the sun, and the ray of morning light was blocked.

Li Fan and Li Hongyi looked up and saw that the area of ​​the City God Temple was covered with Yin Qi. An extremely strong Yin Qi was spreading. The people around them knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the City God Temple and shouted: "The City God has appeared."

These two people demolished the City God's temple, which probably completely angered the City God.

"Who is so presumptuous here and destroying my shrine?" An angry voice was heard. Hearing this voice, the people buried their heads even lower and kowtowed continuously.

"God's residence?" Li Fan looked forward and said coldly, "Old ghost, get out of here."

As soon as the words fell, the sharp sword suspended in the air clanged, emitting a dazzling sword light, which turned into lightning and shot out into the gloomy wind.

A huge hand appeared in the darkness and collided with the sword, knocking it back. In that area, a blurry figure gradually took shape.

The figure was extremely tall and looked similar to the statue, but he did not have a kind face. Instead, he had a sinister aura as he lowered his head to look down at Li Fan and Li Hongyi.

Then he looked at the believers kneeling on the ground and asked, "Why did you sit there and watch them destroy my temple?"

Everyone was terrified when they heard this and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Lord City God, please forgive me."

"Kill them both." said the City God.

Upon hearing this, many people looked up at Li Fan and Li Hongyi, with ferocious looks on their faces, harboring murderous intentions.

Li Hongyi was speechless when she saw this scene.

"You worship him like a god, but he is nothing more than an evil ghost." Li Hongyi looked at the crowd and said, "He secretly harmed the people and kidnapped young girls to practice. He is an unforgivable evil. Don't be deceived by him again."

"You bold mortals, you have no respect for the gods and you speak wildly." The City God shouted with a strong killing intent. It turned out that these two people knew what he had done, so they must be eliminated.

The negative energy roared and turned into a huge weapon, extremely terrifying, and shot towards the two of them.

Li Hongyi raised his head and glared at the other party. His Dharma-image spear shot out into the air, and the flames drove away the evil spirit. The spear and the halberd collided with each other, making a loud noise and knocking Li Hongyi's spear back.

At the same time, Li Fan's sharp sword came and hit the weapon, causing it to explode.

"How dare you." The tall figure shouted angrily. The cold wind became stronger and the world seemed to have turned into darkness again.

"Old ghost, I will send you to hell." Li Fan shouted coldly: "Miss Li, Yin ghosts are afraid of Yang fire."

The blood and energy in his body roared, and a rumbling sound came from his body. His masculine spirit was burning, and the sword energy flowed through his body, expelling the negative energy. The magic power in Li Hongyi's body roared, as if he was bathing in flames, and also burned the negative energy.

"You're looking for death." The City God shouted, and the Yin energy gathered and roared, and once again condensed into a huge weapon. There were ghosts howling in the darkness, and Li Fan was bathed in the sword light, not afraid of ghosts at all.

He made sword gestures with his hands, sword energy flowed, and a powerful sword intent bloomed between his eyebrows, condensing in front of him.

The sharp sword rang, emitted sword light, and drove away the darkness. Those howling ghosts dared not to approach and even let out wailing sounds.

"Go!" Li Fan shouted coldly, and the sword shot out, piercing through the darkness, and ghosts screamed wherever it passed.

The huge body of the City God moved, and he stepped forward. The wind and clouds changed color, and the huge weapon burst down, colliding with the sharp sword, shining with light, and they collapsed together.

The City God exhaled a breath of black air downwards, and many evil ghosts appeared in the darkness, roaring and rushing towards Li Fan. At the same time, the roaring and surging Yin energy transformed into many weapons and floated in the air at the same time.

"I'll deal with the old ghost, you go find someone." Li Fan said to Li Hongyi.

Li Hongyi rushed forward, Li Fan's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and countless sword energy flows in the darkness, like millions of swords.

"Old ghost, you are not the only one who can bluff people." Li Fan said, as the ghost soldiers descended and the sword energy was like a rainbow, intersecting and colliding in the air.

The City God no longer cared about Li Fan, but went to kill Li Hongyi. The roaring ghost entangled Li Hongyi, making it impossible for Li Hongyi to move forward.

"Looking for death." The City God shouted coldly, and the huge body of the Yin God rushed towards Li Hongyi.

Li Fan went to support. In the darkness, the ghost soldiers roared and attacked with weapons and halberds, shattering the sword energy. A huge evil hand grabbed and tried to take Li Hongyi away.

"Old ghost, look at the sword."

Li Fan shouted loudly, and the light between his eyebrows became brighter.

"What is that?" The City God felt a heart-pounding breath, and the next moment, he saw a dazzling sword light burst out, like lightning, breaking through the darkness, and all the ghosts and monsters were killed wherever it passed.

The City God roared, and the Yin God's body rushed out with a roar, but he was greeted by a sky full of sword light. The dazzling sword light pierced through his huge body and shuttled back and forth. It seemed that there were countless sword lights in the darkness, causing his swollen Yin God's body to explode continuously.

"Boom..." Finally, the huge figure of the City God exploded and turned into negative energy and dissipated. A figure appeared inside and wanted to escape, but the sword light came and pierced through his body, causing him to fall from the air.

The sword flew back to Li Fan's forehead. Li Hongyi looked at him, feeling excited.

Is this the sword type for sword cultivators?
It is rumored that a top swordsman can break all the magic with one sword.

Li Fan walked forward and said, "This ghost's power is intimidating, but it can only fool the common people."

Although the City God was canonized and a temple was built for him, he only began to practice after his death and benefited from the power of incense and burning candles. However, it was only the area of ​​a county after all, and the power of incense and burning candles was not as great as his own practice. For this reason, the City God would secretly use women to practice.

This City God looks intimidating, but his strength is not much stronger than the monk in the Vajra Temple.

Li Fan walked forward, the darkness gradually dissipated, and an old man was lying on the ground injured. It was the real body of the City God. At this moment, he looked at Li Fan in panic.

"Let go of the City God." Someone suddenly shouted. Li Fan looked at them coldly, stepped on the City God and said, "The God is under my feet. You respect the God but not me?"

"This is extremely treasonous." Someone said when seeing that Li Fan acted like a madman.

"Treason?" Coincidentally, the old blind man said that he was born with a rebellious nature, so he said, "Today I will kill a 'god' for you to see."
