Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

The opera "Mulian Saves His Mother" promotes filial piety between mother and son, and is a play full of deep affection and kindness.

In reality, these demon children are actually formed from extreme resentment; they were abandoned by their parents, which is exactly the opposite of what they feel.

But Chen Hengyi deliberately put on this act. He didn't want to spend months or even years slowly influencing people; he wanted to use extreme emotions to clash with them.

If they still have even a sliver of lingering affection, then there is still hope for them.

More and more demon children are appearing in the mountains and forests.

He saw that some of the demon children had stopped moving, their eyes filled with longing as they looked at the stage, curling up like little children.

Then, their bluish-gray skin slowly faded, turning into transparent infantile obsessions, which sank into the ground...

At the same time, the obsessions of the infants who were attracted but had not yet become demon children were also transformed, as if their ferocious faces slowly dissipated, and then sank into the ground like the transformed demon children.

It's as if they've returned to the cycle of reincarnation and haven't become demon children again. Could it be that they've gone to be reincarnated?

Seeing this, Chen Hengyi felt a surge of joy; his goal had been achieved at this moment.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

But many more demon children struggled while watching "Mulian Saves His Mother" and frantically tried to storm the stage.

"Many of you are filled with hatred... Forget it, I'll just send you straight to the underworld. I think the judges there will teach you a lesson."

Chen Hengyi frowned and immediately stepped forward.

The troupe leader, Li, who was banging the clapper in the audience, and the crowd on stage also saw those demonic children. Li was just about to say something.

Just then, everyone heard a roar coming from the mountains.

"roar!!"

Immediately afterwards, large plumes of mist surged out, and a pair of eyes the size of blood lanterns suddenly appeared, instantly enveloping the mountains and forests in a suffocating atmosphere.

Master Li's rhythm was disrupted, and the movements of Mulian and the evil spirits on the stage were half a beat slower.

Fortunately, the members of the Li family troupe were strong enough and recovered quickly.

As the blood-red eye appeared, a tidal wave of force crashed into the barrier at the foot of the mountain.

That's the Demon God emerging!

After the Demon God appeared, the surrounding demons went berserk, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards them.

Chen Hengyi's eyes sharpened, immediately turning icy cold: "If you don't want to improve, then..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled, and the costume of Emperor Huaguang was revealed.

With a flick of his hand, a radiant mask appeared on his face.

The fire patterns on the mask exude power, like a guiding light for humanity, dazzling in the dark mountains and forests.

In an instant, all the demon children were drawn to him.

Chen Hengyi is extremely high-profile.

Chen Hengyi burst into flames, shouting in theatrical fury: "Waaaaah! I am the Supreme and Benevolent Five Manifestations Spirit Official! The Immovable Heavenly Venerable of Thunder and Lightning! I am Huaguang—you little devils, how dare you offend me!"

As he spoke, Chen Hengyi swept his golden spear, sparks bursting from the tip, as if wielding a sickle.

The demon boy who tried to storm the stage was cut in half at the waist.

Chen Hengyi moved with the agility of a rabbit, leaping swiftly and nimbly through the forest. In the blink of an eye, all the surrounding demon children were killed.

But then, a loud bang suddenly came from the barrier at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Hengyi turned his head and saw that the barrier had developed visible, semi-transparent cracks, from which a stream of black energy was spreading out. A terrifying roar echoed: "A bunch of actors, trying to save sentient beings?"

As the roar resounded, chaos erupted on the stage, and the rhythm of Li's troupe's percussion also faltered, as an extremely oppressive pressure enveloped the entire venue.

Only Chen Hengyi's Four Ghosts Drum Band remained undaunted, their clanging drums desperately trying to dissipate the influence of the evil spirit.

At the foot of the mountain, a cloud of black mist condensed into a giant black shadow several meters tall, with a distinctive and terrifying blood-red eye on its head and hands as sharp as knives.

The Demon God forcibly broke through the barrier, intending to kill everyone present!

But Chen Hengyi was not afraid at all. The Demon God was driven by the black mist and attacked. Chen Hengyi stepped forward and took out his gun to fight back.

The two sides fought several times, and the powerful counterattacks made his heart tremble, but he was also very excited - because this demon god could not leave him powerless to resist as he had the first time.

Although this was just an avatar, the real Demon God's Blood Eyes were still watching intently from the mountain.

Chen Hengyi roared, and with a whoosh, a dazzling burst of flames exploded.

The third eye of Huaguang's face was now vividly alive, and even Chen Hengyi's eyes were filled with firelight.

Chen Hengyi noticed that the Demon God's movements seemed to slow down at this moment, slower and slower, until finally it was as if a pause button had been pressed...

But then, a myriad of thoughts surged through his mind, rapidly swirling in an instant.

The next instant, the Demon God's movements returned to normal, its claws lashing out, but failing to harm Chen Hengyi in the slightest. He merely tilted his head slightly and dodged the attack.

Boom!

A large tree was snapped in half by a blow.

This time, not only was the Demon God stunned, but even Chen Hengyi himself felt a little incredulous.

"ha?"

The Demon God launched several more attacks, but Chen Hengyi managed to dodge them all, just like before.

This is not a coincidence, but rather the effect of seeing joy!

The divine eye power of Huaguang's facial mask was actually added to the joy of seeing!

The Demon God's movements seemed childish to him.

Although his opponent was incredibly strong, capable of shaking his internal organs with a single blow, it was utterly useless if he couldn't land a hit. Clearly, the surprise this seemingly insignificant event brought was far greater than he had imagined.

Chen Hengyi roared, his clothes fluttering even though there was no wind.

Just after dodging another attack from the demon god, a loud, clear operatic voice rang out: "Take this—gun!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Hengyi's eyes widened, and a golden spear pierced through the Demon God like a dragon.

The demon god, formed from black mist, was instantly dispersed.

Behind the barrier, the Demon God's blood-red eyes reformed, and he stared at Chen Hengyi, his eyes full of doubt.

"I never imagined that an actor would acquire such skills in just a few days," the Demon God murmured.

But then, his gaze left Chen Hengyi and suddenly fell upon the group of people who were barely managing to perform the Mulian Opera. Although they had been somewhat affected by the fight between Chen Hengyi and the Demon God, they still persisted in their performance.

Because in the world of Peking Opera, the performance is paramount; no matter what happens, once the music starts, the performance must continue.

The demon god behind the barrier let out a high-pitched and shrill roar. Immediately afterward, the people on the stage were thrown into chaos, and even the sound of Master Li's clapper was drowned out.

Chen Hengyi saw that the young man playing Mulian had blood coming out of his nose.

This evil spirit intends to disrupt the rhythm of everyone on stage and cause them to make mistakes in their performance.

If the ghost play goes wrong, the actor will be the first to be harmed, and then the ghosts and gods will devour him alive.

Unable to do anything to Chen Hengyi, He came up with this insidious idea.

Chen Hengyi frowned and immediately shouted, "Drum and gong troupe, more money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of rapid drumbeats filled the air. The sound was so loud that it was like thunder, and even the sound waves of the Demon God were shaken apart.

Bang bang bang!!

The opera lyrics of Mulian can no longer be heard on the stage, because their voices are not as penetrating as those of the gong and drum band.

Although this moment was a bit of a distraction, the performers on stage were still able to continue their act.

Seeing that his plan had failed, the Demon God stopped wasting his time and slowly disappeared back to the mountain.

However, as soon as the Demon God left, Chen Hengyi noticed that the number of demon children who had gathered around him had decreased.

However, the baby's obsession remains unaffected.

Chen Hengyi removed his mask, and after that, he was no longer the Emperor Huaguang.

The Mulian play ended quickly.

As soon as he left the stage, Chen Hengyi saw that everyone could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, their bodies covered in cold sweat.

Especially the elderly Master Li, whose face was as white as if he were dead.

As Chen Hengyi approached, the other man, his body trembling, bowed to him and said, "Mr. Chen... I hope my Li family troupe didn't hold you back?"
