Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

"What a roadblock! Daring to block my way!"

Before Chen Hengyi could finish speaking, the flames on the Ghost-Slaying Sword suddenly surged three feet, and the golden-red flames swept out like a raging dragon, scorching a vacuum into the mist in front of him.

However, the mist closed rapidly as if it were alive, and lantern-sized scarlet eyes flickered left and right within it, emitting a strange, androgynous laugh: "Zhong Kui? He's nothing but a fake god in disguise, yet he dares to call me 'Grandpa'?"

As he spoke, the other party suddenly lunged forward, and just as the scarlet eyes were about to approach, it suddenly vanished like the wind.

It seemed like nothing had happened, but the next moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"Leave the two of you behind, and we'll let you, the fake Zhong Kui, go. If you want to save people... bring the biological father of that little girl."

Lin Junkai!?

Why would this thing need Lin Junkai...? No, Lin Junkai is just Tiger God's medium, essentially his proxy.

Is that Tiger Lord?

Is there some secret he doesn't know about during this time?

He was thinking about it when, just a few seconds later, in the pitch-black fog, a huge, skinned human hand slowly reached out.

Furthermore, black mist emanated from his hand, giving him an extremely terrifying aura.

"Pooh!"

"It's better to die than to live a life of ignominy!"

Chen Hengyi can lose, but he absolutely cannot bow down to demons and evil forces!

Furthermore, there is a legend about Zhong Kui, who was neglected and ridiculed because of his appearance, and lost his qualification to be the top scholar.

Zhong Kui refused to be humiliated and instead crashed into the golden palace, dying instantly.

If Chen Hengyi agrees, he will never have the face to play Zhong Kui again.

He raised his sword and slashed forward, but with a loud bang, a powerful recoil instantly returned to his body.

The energy within his body surged, and the flames seemed to be caught in a raging storm, swaying erratically.

Fortunately, a sword mark was left on the large hand, and then it stopped.

"You fake Zhong Kui, you only borrowed a tiny fraction of divine power, yet you dare to harm me?"

Li Yating was so frightened that she trembled all over, her nails almost digging into her flesh. Shen Yijun, who was unconscious, frowned slightly from the jolting and unconsciously murmured "child".

As Chen Hengyi listened to the other person's words, his heart sank. He had been playing Zhong Kui for a long time, and it was not without its costs. When he was playing the role, his energy and spirit were the fuel.

Furthermore, the other party saw through him the moment he appeared, knowing that he was an imposter... This is an absolute difference in strength.

Or is it that his performance still has flaws that he himself is unaware of?

With these two people involved... we can't fight them.

Suddenly, Chen Hengyi remembered what Master Along had given him before he came.

Is Tiger really a prophet?

When Chen Hengyi cut his palm with the Ghost Sword, the black tiger clay sculpture given to him by Master A Long appeared in his hand.

The blood is absorbed instantly.

The black tiger statue throbbed in my hand for a moment, then cracked open, as if something had crawled out of it.

The black tiger clay sculpture turned into fine sand and scattered.

"Awooo—!!!"

Chen Hengyi heard the tiger's roar, but he didn't see anything. The blood-red eyes suddenly dissipated, and then the surrounding mist seemed to lose its vitality.

"Black Tiger!!!"

Chen Hengyi quickly looked at Li Yating, then reached out and scooped her up on his shoulder, running away at full speed.

Strategic retreat!

The mist behind him dissipated rapidly amidst the tiger's roar. He could hear the enormous creature's furious howls, but he seemed uninterested in what was happening, simply running desperately down the mountain.

Li Yating was carried on his shoulder, her body weak. Chen Hengyi ran very fast, and the jolting was so intense that the mineral water she had just drunk was thrown up.

Shen Yijun remains unconscious...

The roar of the enormous creature behind them grew fainter and fainter, yet it still carried a chilling pressure, as if the entire mountain forest was trembling.

He dared not stop for a moment; the Zhong Kui costume fluttered as he ran, and the flames of the opera surged within him, sustaining his exhausted strength.

"Master Zhong Kui... can we... can we escape?" Li Yating leaned on Chen Hengyi's shoulder, her voice so weak it was like a mosquito's hum, tears soaking his opera robe.

He doesn't want to waste time talking now.

At this moment, several gray-green figures suddenly darted out from the front; they were none other than the demon boy he had previously terrified.

When they saw the "prey" in Chen Hengyi's arms, their eyes flashed with greed, and they let out sharp hisses.

"You're courting death!" Chen Hengyi's eyes flashed with malice. He held Shen Yijun in his left arm, while the flames of his Ghost-Slaying Sword surged in his right hand, unleashing a wave of fire.

scoff!

The wave of fire instantly engulfed the few demon cubs at the forefront, who let out mournful screams and turned into charred remains on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other demon children were so frightened that they all retreated and dared not go forward again.

"Pooh!"

Chen Hengyi can't beat the big guys now, but he can bully the small guys to his heart's content. After venting a little of his anger, he felt a bit better.

He sprinted at breakneck speed, and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

But then, that damned fog reappeared.

Whirring whirring!

It felt as if the mountain wind was howling, the sky was gradually turning white, and the road ahead was about to be obscured by the fog.

"Leave!!"

The voice and aura behind him made Chen Hengyi's heart tremble and his heart pound.

Tiger Lord wasn't the real Tiger Lord after all; he could only hinder things a little.

"Drum and gong band!!"

when--!

A thunderous sound, like the beating of a bronze drum, resounded through the mountains and fields, making even the misty particles seem to vibrate in unison.

"Who's behind this?!"

The thing behind me couldn't find the source of the sound, it was like seeing a ghost.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Hengyi quickly ran down the mountain.

As soon as we descended the mountain, the mist seemed like an illusion and never reappeared.

When Chen Hengyi turned around, he saw that there seemed to be a barrier at the foot of the mountain, blocking out all the surging mist.

Bang!

A pair of large, scarlet, ferocious, and angry eyes pressed forward relentlessly.

"You will die a horrible death!"

Chen Hengyi's chest heaved, and he gritted his teeth, but he still didn't say anything. He didn't want to get into a verbal battle.

I took one last look at those big eyes.

Chen Hengyi continued running forward until he was far away from the barrier before he put Li Yating down.

"Ugh~"

As soon as he came down, the child began to gag violently.

The highway was in the distance. Chen Hengyi put Shen Yijun down and then picked up his phone to call an ambulance.

She put away her mask and quickly switched to her everyday clothes.

However, the aftereffects of playing Zhong Kui for a long time appeared: his vision would go black for a moment, and just as he got used to it, he would see stars again.

He could feel his body's energy depleted again!

Fortunately, he possessed the "Qi Absorption and Rejuvenation" skill.

Chen Hengyi had just caught his breath.

Li Yating, who had just finished vomiting, turned around and was immediately startled.

She looked at Chen Hengyi, but her eyes darted left and right: "Where is Master Zhong Kui?"

Chen Hengyi: "I am..."

"what?"

"What the hell? Go ahead and throw up."

Chen Hengyi found a nearby rock to sit down and rest, and at the same time contacted Li Shufen.

"Here's the address, come over quickly, your daughter is safe."

Chen Hengyi's tone relaxed; he had finally completed the task he had set for himself.

But on the other side, Li Shufen exclaimed in terror, "Mr. Chen, there's a ghost!!"

Chen Hengyi: ".....What the hell?"

What a joke, he doesn't have the strength to fight ghosts now.
