Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 96 The Demon of Death, Shentian, Resurrects!
Los Angeles, USA.

The Black Hand Building.

Shentian followed the devil Xiaolong into the building. Unexpectedly, the building was in order and did not look like the lair of an international criminal organization at all.

No wonder in the original novel, Jackie Chan and his friends only found this place through clues provided by Tru on the eve of the Holy Lord’s resurrection.

Following the devil dragon, Shentian took the elevator to the top floor, where he saw the only door.

Different from the door he had seen in the Tianshen Building, this door was carved with two extremely luxurious five-clawed golden dragons. The golden dragons were in a soaring posture, as if they were about to break free from the door and soar into the sky.

Through this door, Shentian also felt a long-standing and familiar breath. This breath came from his younger brother - the Holy Lord!
But before the devil dragon could go forward and push open the door, a hoarse voice came from behind the door, and the tightly closed door opened by itself.

"come in!"

Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Shentian was slightly stunned and subconsciously stepped into the room.

Looking up along the red carpet under his feet, he saw the Holy Lord at this moment, just like himself who had just been dug out of a cave, hanging on the wall six feet above the ground, his scarlet eyes staring at him quietly.

Seeing the Holy Lord again after thousands of years, Shentian's heart was beating fast, but for a moment he couldn't think of what tone to use to break the silent atmosphere.

After all, the concept of family among demons is ridiculously fragile. The eight demons have never called each other brothers. At most, they can call each other "compatriots."

Finally, it was the Holy Lord who spoke: "Long time no see, Shentian."

Hearing the Holy Lord's unchanging tone once again, Shentian felt as if he had returned to the chaotic era and to the demon banquet.

The Holy Lord at that time also said to himself in the same tone: Shentian, you are finally here!

At this moment, Shen Tian's state of mind seemed to have changed. He whispered, "Indeed, we haven't seen each other for nearly seven thousand years."

"No, to be precise, it is six thousand nine hundred years. In another hundred years, it will be seven thousand years." The Holy Lord corrected.

Shen Tian smiled, not caring how much time had passed. He said, "There's no need for pleasantries between us. Tell me, what do you plan to exchange for the three talismans in my hand?"

The Holy Lord was silent.

Then, a shadowy soldier holding a red brocade box walked out from the shadow under the stone statue of the Holy Lord. When the box was opened, Shentian's eagle talisman was inside.

The Holy Lord said, "Of course, use this talisman."

Shen Tian shook his head and said, "No, you know that's not what I meant. Even without this talisman, I would still help you resurrect."

"Besides, exchanging one talisman for the three talismans I have doesn't seem like a good deal for me, does it?"

"Okay, tell me, what do you want?" asked the Holy Lord, controlling the shadow soldiers to retreat.

Shen Tian didn't hesitate, raised a finger and said, "It's actually very simple. All I want is a promise from you, a promise that you will absolutely keep and never break."

"That is, after I help you fully revive, no matter what happens in the future, you can't attack me in any form or under any pretext!"

"Why? Why do you want this promise? As my nominal brother, you should also know that I never keep my promises!" said the Holy Lord.

Shentian chuckled and said, "That's why I said that I want you to absolutely abide by this promise. Of course, I won't cast any magic on you to force your behavior. That would be meaningless."

"I just need one word from you, one word that you are willing to make this promise, that's enough."

"As for the reason, you don't need to know, because even if I really told you, you wouldn't believe it."

The Holy Lord fell silent upon hearing this. It was unclear whether he was thinking or considering the truth of Shen Tian's words. After a long moment, he said, "Are you sure you only want this?"

Shen Tian spread his hands and said, "What else? Or is there something more valuable you can offer right now? In comparison, a promise is far more real than some unrealistic fantasy."

"You're right. Right now, I really can't offer anything more tempting than this promise."

"In that case, I agree to your conditions. Once I am truly resurrected, I will promise not to attack you in any form!" The Holy Lord said word by word.

Hearing this, Shentian nodded slightly, then summoned the shadow warrior and carried out the stone statue he had hidden in the Shadow Kingdom.

Now, fourteen of the sixteen talismans were already embedded in his stone statue. After adding the deer talisman he had just obtained, the only missing talisman was the cat talisman.

But with the ability of the Rat Talisman to turn stillness into movement, Shentian can now gather the power of the fifteen talismans and forcibly revive even without the Cat Talisman.

Shentian closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

The soul contained in this body made of three talismans of dragon, sheep and tiger began to slowly break away from the constraints of the flesh.

Huhu——

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the closed room.

Feeling the immense aura emanating from Shentian at this moment, the Holy Lord seemed to recall many things at this moment.

"So you used the demonic energy contained in these three talismans of mine to forge a body that matches your soul. No wonder I always felt something was wrong with your body from the moment you stepped into this place."

Shentian, with his eyes closed, did not answer. When his soul was about to completely leave his body, he suddenly raised his hand and stabbed himself in the chest.

Just hear a puff,
Shentian's hand pierced through his chest.

Then, as his arm was pulled out, three talismans of dragon, tiger and sheep appeared in Shentian's hand.

Throwing them in the direction of the Holy Lord, the three talismans seemed to have self-awareness and fit firmly onto the statue of the Holy Lord.

Finally, Shentian's soul completely separated from his body and returned to his statue.

As the soul returned to its place, the fifteen talismans except the cat talisman were simultaneously integrated into the statue of Shentian.

Click--click--click!

Fifteen divine powers converged in the body.

Under the influence of this extremely wild force, the seal that had imprisoned Shentian for 6,900 years finally began to collapse.

Clearly visible cracks appeared on the surface of the stone statue, and countless rays of blue-gold light burst out from behind the cracks, exuding an ancient sense.

Finally, with a high-pitched dragon roar that shattered the hard rocks all over his body, the King of Death, Shentian, officially revived!

At this moment, the world changed drastically!

No matter where you are in the world, no matter who is living in the world, you can clearly feel that there is an extremely strange and terrifying aura between heaven and earth, which suddenly appears at this moment!
Dad's Antique Shop.

The old man who was studying magic looked up in horror, hurriedly pushed open the door of the antique shop and went outside. When he looked up, he saw the strange-colored sky with dark clouds gathering above his head and twisted into a paste!

"Hi!"

"It's the breath of the great devil!"

"A truly great demon has resurrected!"

Jackie Chan, who had chased out of the antique shop, heard this and subconsciously said, "Big Devil? Dad, do you mean that the Holy Lord or Shentian has been resurrected?"

Dad didn't nod or shake his head, but his expression was more solemn than ever.

"It doesn't matter who revived it. We must find this revived demon as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the appearance of this great demon will bring unimaginable disaster to the entire world!"

Ding-a-ling-ling—ding-a-ling-ling!

As soon as Dad finished speaking, Jackie Chan's phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Blake.

Jackie Chan pressed the speaker button without thinking, and Blake's nervous and panicked voice came clearly from the other end.

"Jackie Chan, it's bad! A demon suddenly appeared in District 13. Not only did the demon absorb Di Kui's evil spirit, it also took away all the talismans!"
