Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 358 Fish

The tall, sly guy's phone rang with a message that the call could not be connected. He frowned, hung up, and dialed again, but the same message came through.

"strangeness."

He confirmed that he had not dialed the wrong number.

Just then, the old slippery woman suddenly sniffed and said, "It smells like a living person. Look around and see if someone has broken in!"

Upon hearing this, the two cunning men, one tall and one short, immediately became alert.

They sniffed the air frantically, and finally sensed something was wrong. Following the smell, they looked towards the entrance, their pupils contracting slightly. There stood a young man in a shirt!

The factory was dimly lit, illuminated only by the old, dilapidated lighting equipment. The young man was eerie; he appeared to be just an ordinary human, but one side of his body was blended into the shadows under the iron bridge inside the factory.

The cunning woman made a swift decision: "Kill him!"

The tall and short slippery ghost drew a long samurai sword from his wide samurai robe and flew out like a ghost, the blade flashing out two streaks of light that went straight for the young man's head!

Bang!

The young man arrived empty-handed, but now he wielded two long black maces, blocking the samurai sword. The tall and short rascals' expressions changed drastically; the strength of someone who could simultaneously block their combined attack was self-evident!
They leaped back and landed next to the slippery female ghost, their eyes filled with apprehension, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The young man put his two long maces together and looked at them, saying, "The judge of Fengdu is in charge of all injustices in the world."

The newcomer was Li Xuan, who had just arrived in Okinawa. He sensed intense malice and murderous intent from the three sly devils in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, his mace transformed into a long sword, and he and the sword became one, rushing over with lightning speed!

Swish!
A flash of pure white light!

The head of the elusive demon slowly detached from his neck and fell to the ground.

The short, slippery fellow finally snapped out of his daze: "So fast!"

He tried to fight back with his knife, but suddenly his vision went completely red. Half of his head slid to the ground at an angle, and his body staggered back a few steps before falling off the factory's iron bridge.

They met for less than two minutes.

The tall and short sly demons had already died one after the other, making the female sly demon feel as if she were in a dream. Her voice trembled uncontrollably as she gritted her teeth and said, "You were able to come here... so you must have already killed the 'Guest God'?"

Li Xuan held his sword to her neck, not answering the question, but instead asking, "Is that crisscrossing array below what you call a ritual?"

Enraged that Li Xuan was ignoring her, the cunning woman knew the situation was hopeless and raised her neck to smash it against the sword!

Li Xuan did not dodge, letting her sever his neck...

He picked up the gourd and chanted an incantation, drawing all the scattered souls into it. Death was never the end; here, it was merely the beginning of suffering...

The three cunning individuals posed no obstacle to Li Xuan.

The chemical plant was filled with a slightly acidic and corrosive odor. He stood by the iron bridge railing and looked down. Large amounts of green liquid were bubbling and being stored in tanks...

He leaped from the air and landed in an empty spot.

These vats filled with green liquid have dense white runes on their surfaces, and the ground is covered with semi-transparent water pipes forming an array, which is the ritual that the Nurarihyon beautiful boy mentioned.

In the center of the ceremony, Li Xuan saw something covered by a glass dome. He walked over and saw that it was a light green stone that looked very much like a conch shell. It had a faint glow, like a beating heart... The Nine Springs Command from the gourd emitted a warm feeling.

This is a warning.

This thing is dangerous!

He stopped, extended his longsword, and cleaved the glass dome open. Suddenly, a strange change occurred: a viscous liquid flowed from the conch-shaped stone, and a large number of tiny fish with sharp, spider-like limbs crawled out of the liquid. The sour smell in the air was now mixed with a fishy stench.

Suddenly a voice came from above: "It seems the ritual has failed, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I've already tricked you into coming here with the so-called core of the ruins. Now... you can disappear here along with the ritual."

It's the voice of a beautiful young man.

However, the sound was pre-recorded, because a speaker was hanging on the ceiling and was working.

The beautiful young man, Nurarihyon, continued, saying, "This thing is indeed a relic, but it is also a derivative of human masterpieces!"
I was able to use it to set up this ritual and create those human head balloons, all thanks to the evil power within! Whoever you are, if you manage to escape this factory, go check out the sea off Okinawa; there are many more of these things there…”

Li Xuan transformed his longsword into a whip and swung it out, then ascended to a high place. The depths of the factory were now occupied by countless strange fish.

He recalled Junto Ito's story about "fish".

The male and female protagonists discover a strange fish with long legs on the beach in Okinawa. After being attacked by the fish, they escape back to Tokyo. Through a series of investigations, they discover that the reason why this mutated monster appeared was all caused by a bacterial weapon secretly researched by the military during the war.

This story, "The Fish," also has no real ending; the strange fish sweeps through Tokyo and then spreads throughout the world...

Li Xuan glanced down at the so-called core of the ruins again, and now it looked more like the mother of some kind of pathogen.

He made a hand seal, and flames spewed from his mouth and nose, igniting the surrounding area!
In the setting of "Fish", the strange fish swells up with a foul smell because its body is filled with toxic gas.

Li Xuan lit the flames and immediately left the factory. Not long after, a violent explosion rang out, and the factory burst into flames, accompanied by thick black smoke that shot straight into the sky...

The flames ignited other areas within the factory, and the explosions were deafening.

He stood on the beach, dove into the water, and swam only a dozen meters into the deeper water before witnessing a scene that sent chills down his spine. The seabed was covered with conch shells and rocks, from which strange fish "flowed" continuously in enormous numbers. In the distance, schools of long-legged fish such as sharks and ribbonfish swam by...

This is a story about the destruction of the world.

In the original story, humans who were stung by the strange fish would turn into similar monsters. Instead of developing a drug to eliminate this bacteria, humans began to use the mutated humans for amusement.

Li Xuan rubbed his head vigorously, then turned and left...

The appearance of strange fish in the sea could not be kept secret, as these creatures appeared on various coastlines. Before he even returned to Black Vortex Town, television hosts were already broadcasting the story, and the broadcasts even showed scenes of coastal towns being overrun by these strange fish.

The phone rang; it was Reiko Yamano calling. She got straight to the point: "Have you seen about the strange fish?"

Li Xuan hummed in agreement.

Reiko Yamano's voice lacked its usual playfulness; she said with a slight tremor, "I asked the fox spirit, and it said this is a calamity for humanity, and there's no way to save it; we can only accept our fate..."

Fox fairy?

Li Xuan recalled the gray fox he had seen when he performed a ritual at the Fox Fairy Temple.
