American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

Huge, ravine-like fissures crisscrossed the landscape, as if an extremely ferocious and vicious monster was about to tear apart the rock above and struggle out of the darkness of the abyss, its ferocity terrifying.

The entire space was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness, as if night had fallen, yet it was even more profound.

A colossal black silhouette, like a mountain range squeezed out by continental plates, slowly rises from the depths of the earth.

Chapter 450 Appearance 3

A hideous monster slowly rose, its twisted form gradually emerging in the dim light, like a demon king crawling out of hell, casting a nightmare-like shadow.

Two arms, as thick as skyscrapers, tore through the ground first, followed by Freddy's head, swollen a thousand times larger, his upper body sprawling on the ground. His lower body was completely gone, leaving a trail of rotting, charred, blackish-red flesh dragged among the sand and gravel, an unimaginable stench emanating from it.

Thick, inky miasma swirled around, withered, yellow ribs, like colossal pillars of a palace, emerged from beneath a filthy sweater that blotted out the sky, supporting the enormous, deformed body. A vast, chilling, and filthy aura surged forth, like a heavy mountain, making it difficult for the person to move an inch.

Two blazing flames of the underworld ignited from his half-melted eyes, flashing with an ominous crimson light, their malevolent gaze fixed upon the tiny human before him.

"Guess..." the monster chuckled, its voice filled with cruelty and venom. "What price will you pay to destroy me? Or rather... how many of you will die!"

The hoarse voice suddenly turned shrill, like a rusty iron chain scraping across a stone slab, carrying an invisible weight as it came, along with two giant claws with blades!

The offensive was incredibly swift, but the people on the other side, regardless of their stance, were all resolute and outstanding individuals. The provocative words intended to shake their resolve were nothing more than noise to them, and they instantly launched a powerful counterattack.

A pale green hexagonal lattice emerged, rapidly forming an eggshell-shaped semi-circular barrier in the air. It firmly blocked the giant claw carrying destructive power, stirring up ripples of energy. The surrounding scenery shrank and expanded violently, as if even space itself was being deformed by the immense force at that moment.

A mournful wind howled, and in a daze, it seemed as if an enormous rose had bloomed. Hidden within its delicate petals were actually a thousand-layered wheel of blades, their silver-gray blades spinning rapidly. The putrid blood that was creeping up from the ground was instantly pulverized, emitting a hissing sound like that of snakes and insects.

After defense came offense. The enemy's hidden hand was eliminated, and the remaining power of the blade wheel, combined with dazzling bolts of lightning, frost, and fire curses, slammed into the chest with its ribs protruding.

"Hahaha... Give it your all, friends." His body was constantly being pulverized and peeled away under the raging energy storm, but it would immediately recover. Freddy opened his blood-red mouth and laughed heartily.

His throat bulged high, and a cloud of murky, colorful dust sprayed out in his face.

Upon closer inspection, each speck of colored dust contains a variety of terrifying and bizarre scenes: ferocious beasts and demons, torture and humiliation, betrayal by lovers, turning against relatives and friends, destruction of families, and ruin... It is an endless nightmare as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

The pure lattice shield suddenly seemed to have been doused with a basin of industrial wastewater, becoming upside down and disorganized under the colorful staining, and its structure collapsed.

"How can swords and lightning harm a dream? A bunch of laymen, trying to kill me without understanding the underlying logic of my existence? They should spend some time studying psychology first!"

The nightmare torrent swept across the area, and no matter how strong the defense was, it could not withstand it for more than a few seconds, forcing the group to scramble to avoid it.

"He's right. If the attack is to be effective, I need time to analyze!" Kant said with a grim expression, after flashing the teleportation spell several times in one breath to dodge the aftershocks.

“In this situation, I suggest a temporary retreat, and then we should prepare for the future…” He hesitated, clearly already considering backing down.

Nick frowned, feeling a great headache. The opponent's combat strength was not actually that strong, but the situation was too strange, and no matter how he attacked, it was difficult to hurt the core.

Just as he was deep in thought, a clear shout suddenly rang out:

"That's not necessary!"

A clear, water-like light flashed, and a Qingguang sword with a lotus-shaped guard and auspicious cloud patterns on its smooth spine suddenly rose up. The transparent tip of the sword lightly touched the ground, as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and space, pointing directly at the core of the provocateur.

Wherever the sword light touched, the dark clouds of miasma rolled away, the eerie evil energy split in two, and even the intangible stench vanished, leaving only a long, thin, and deep crack behind it, which then swiftly burrowed into the enemy's body.

The strange sword was only a few feet long. Compared to Freddy's hundreds of meters tall body, it was as thin as a needle. It seemed impossible for it to cause any effective damage.

However, the next moment, he suddenly raised his head, and the crimson ghostly fire in his eye sockets surged, melting the decaying crystals and shattering them with a bang, splashing out a sky full of turbid liquid!

"Ow—!"

No one needs to think much; just from those pitiful wails, one can deeply feel the terrible pain contained within.

The Shangqing Soul-Slaying Sword!

In the dream world, which is built upon the foundation of the mind and intention, Taoist arts that specifically target and destroy the soul and spirit are naturally the first choice.

"Don't be misled by him! Use a mental attack directly!" Zhu Mingyao's attack was effective. He let out a long roar, and dozens or even hundreds of Soul-Slaying Light Swords appeared from his side, turning into streaks of auspicious light that shot out in all directions.

"If you want to breach a fortress, why bother with how complex or sturdy its structure is?"

"Of course, we'd use explosives to clear the way, blowing the foundation and walls to the sky. Who would want to crawl through alleyways and play a maze game with him then?"

These words were a wake-up call, and the other two immediately changed their tactics.

Nick swiftly pulled a crystal bottle from his pocket. In the heat of the battle, he didn't have time to remove the cork, so he simply smashed it against his longsword. Instantly, butterfly-scale-like powder scattered everywhere, and the silver blade was instantly stained with a iridescent, glassy sheen. He swung the blade again, and Freddy's wounds, as expected, could no longer heal.

As a frequent character in mythology, this little fairy with transparent wings sprinkles dust containing powerful spiritual energy that can help people have sweet dreams. This precious material is rare for ordinary people, but in his hands, backed by the government, it is merely a regular reserve.

Kant, on the other hand, was more direct. He simply abandoned complex spells and concentrated the powerful mental energy of a high-level spellcaster to brutally bombard and crush the opponent.

With the combined efforts of the three, the mountain-like demonic body roared and howled, but eventually collapsed, with huge chunks of "flesh and blood" rapidly dissolving.

However, just as it was about to disappear completely, a dangerous feeling suddenly arose in Zhu Mingyao's heart. Without having time to think it through, he clasped his hands together and instantly laid out more than a dozen layers of golden talismans.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, as if the world were collapsing in that instant, reverberated through the void. Countless indescribable, mesmerizing lights and shadows suddenly exploded, intertwining, tearing, and tumbling together, transforming the entire space within sight into a chaotic, churning cloud.

"Where to go!"

The runes, shattered by the impact, spun and flew, then, under Zhu Mingyao's control, shot straight into the sky, transforming into a dazzling golden light that stretched infinitely.

The golden light, as smooth as a hot knife slicing through grease, neatly parted the previously menacing dark clouds, and with lightning speed, it struck the fleeing enemy.

...and then it abruptly stopped!

The solidified lava-like stone eggshell gleamed with a dark red, cold light. Freddy, hiding behind the stone egg about the height of a person, tried his best to curl up and screamed in a panicked, broken voice.

"You've come for this woman, haven't you! I can give her to you, on the condition that you let me go!"

Chapter 451 Let's celebrate?

“住手！”X2

Nick and Kant shouted in unison.

"You've killed so many people, and you still think we'll let you go?!"

He swung the longsword angrily, and even though the colorful fairy dust emitted a shimmering glow, it could not conceal the chilling killing intent.

"Don't even dream about it, I won't let you, you devil, escape!"

"Either get out of the way, or I guarantee you'll only get a corpse!"

Freddy's figure was now ethereal and elusive, like a shadow in the wind, as if he might vanish at any moment, clearly indicating that he was severely injured. Even so, a sharp, menacing iron claw remained firmly pressed against the dark red stone egg, its intent to blackmail him was all too clear.

“Compared to avenging the dead victims, I believe that saving the living innocent is the most important goal,” Kant said, his eyelids twitching as he spoke before the others could.

Although his expression was righteous and awe-inspiring, the words he quickly added in a low voice revealed some of his true thoughts:

"The friendship of a lord-level powerhouse is far more valuable than the lives of mortals. Even sorcerers with fire dragon bloodlines are somewhat mentally unstable. The government probably doesn't want to see a mad old father, does it?"

Nick's eyes twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath, momentarily speechless.

Although he hated evil as much as he wanted, he was not some greenhorn who had just started out, and naturally understood the principle that the living were more important than the dead.

"If you want to negotiate, hand over the other kidnapped victims as well. Otherwise..." He was a very decisive person. After a moment's consideration, he immediately made his decision:

"...Back then, someone secretly protected your soul and resurrected it, right? And in recent cases, he's even covering up your crimes." His voice was steady and powerful, conveying an undeniable sense of authority.

"Don't deny it, someone capable of doing these two things must be a big shot within the government. I need to know his name!"

"hey-hey!"

The sharp blade rubbed against the rough giant egg, sparks flying. The hard red stone shell quickly turned black, softened, and decayed into mud, revealing a crack through which a slender, sleeping human figure seemed to be faintly visible.

"Isn't that unnecessary? I can't betray my loyal partner..." Freddy's words were cut short as he looked up and met Nick's murderous gaze, his cunning smile freezing instantly.

"Okay, to show our sincerity, I can tell you first that the guy I'm working with is... is—"

It was as if it had become an old record player with a faulty connection. The shrill voice, like a duck's, suddenly stretched out, but it could no longer utter a single word!

Freddy stared blankly into his grotesque mouth, and within his dark eyes, a tiny, hazy white shadow rose and grew brighter.

"So...it was already, haha..." His expression changed rapidly, as if he understood something, and he forced out a strange, miserable smile.

In a flash, a bright white light burst forth from the unknown depths of darkness. His already battered body, damaged by repeated blows, swelled up in an instant and suddenly collapsed into a large pile of ashes!

"Get out of the way!"

An extremely terrifying aura of destruction swept across the sky, blasting out a chilling darkness.

The entire space began to collapse madly around this point, forcing the group to retreat rapidly. They could only watch helplessly as the giant rock egg disappeared into nothingness.

"Oh no, everyone retreat!" A faint, hazy white mist floated by, and Cobb, who had been hiding somewhere since the start of the battle, jumped out in a panic.

"The master was killed by an unknown force, and the remaining dream fragments are entangled with the sea of ​​consciousness of all living beings. This area is about to collapse!"

He shouted anxiously, "We need to get out of here right now, or we might be thrown to the bottom of the chaotic dream world, and who knows how long it will take to climb out again!"

In the span of those few words, the darkness rapidly expanded, devouring everything around it. Everything that came into contact with it lost its original form and was stretched into thin streams of light that sank into it.

The overwhelming attraction was so powerful that even though they were all highly skilled, they had to do their best to maintain their balance.

Countless closed, silver-blue eyes interlocked, forming a shimmering portal of light. Cobb placed his hands on it, his arm muscles bulging, and beads of sweat glistening on his nose.

"Hold me off for a few seconds!" His forehead veins throbbed, and his voice was hoarse and undulating, clearly indicating that he had exhausted all his strength.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, the three stepped forward to block him, and layer upon layer of defenses descended, isolating him from the suction force and protecting him completely.

"Ah—!" With the youth's angry shout, the portal slowly moved open like a tortoise, and finally opened wide enough to enter just as the darkness encroached upon it, revealing a kaleidoscope-like tunnel.

"go!"

The figure darted through the door, successfully stepping inside before the crisis arrived.

Zhu Mingyao was the last to rush into the tunnel. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the space behind him and saw that it had completely collapsed, leaving only a vast chaos.

A barely perceptible twitch appeared at the corner of his lips, and he immediately followed the people in front of him.

……

……

"Ha ha……"

The door to the basement was flung open, and tears streamed down Cobb's face as he grabbed a chair and slumped down, panting heavily with exhaustion.

"This was really dangerous! This time, I'm going to raise the fee for leading the way by 30%, no, 50%!" he grumbled, barely managing to finish his sentence before his body almost slid to the floor, clearly exhausted.

Seeing his boss's disheveled appearance, the man named Arthur quickly helped him up and told his female assistant, Adrian, to prepare recovery supplies.

Kant's steps were also somewhat unsteady, indicating he was also greatly exhausted. However, he still valued his appearance, so he found a sofa to sit on, straightened his disheveled clothes and hair, and then said with a sullen face:

"I made it clear beforehand that you and he should negotiate the fees; it has nothing to do with me." He gripped the gold ornament at the top of his cane tightly, grinding his teeth in frustration.
