I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 88087: Chaos Outside the City, Dongzi is Truly Promising (Ten Updates, Please Subscribe)

Outside the city, the blockade zone outside the ancestral hall and sinkhole of the ancient town has been forcibly torn open by some terrifying force.

The heavy iron bars and rusted cages were twisted like braids, and several rapid-fire gun emplacements were cut in half like tofu and scattered all over the ground.

Deep within the sinkhole, a tornado carrying raging flames shot into the sky, the wind and fire intertwining to form a towering pillar of fire that engulfed the surrounding zombies and wandering spirits, burning them all to ashes.

In the center of the pillar of fire, a figure stood like a god of wind and fire.

With a wave of his hand, wind blades howled and fire dragons rolled, bombarding the two figures in front of him.

But anyone could see that the power of the wind and fire was waning.

Because the power released by the two people opposite was equally terrifying, one on the left and one on the right, they forced this "Wind God" of the fifth rank of the Heavenly Dao to retreat continuously.

The city god on the left raised his hand and summoned a heavy cloud of yin energy, as if the will of the dead in the entire ancient town had solidified into a cold, gray ice spike, which clashed with the wind blade.

His fighting style was as solid as a mountain, and his entire body was covered with intricate runes. His muscles and bones were stronger than any extraordinary weapon. Every step he took seemed to be connected to the ancient town beneath his feet, and even wind and fire could hardly shake him.

The one on the right was completely different. His figure was as elusive as a ghost, and he held a sinister abacus in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the abacus beads vibrated violently, forming a small black gap that directly swallowed the attacking fire dragon.

His attacks were fierce and unpredictable, often suddenly bursting in through gaps in the wind and fire, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, each attack accompanied by a piercing ghostly wail.

Although the wind and fire power of Fengshen Tangzhou was still violent, it was clearly gradually losing ground under the combined attack of the two fifth-order city gods, one steady and the other swift, one defensive and the other offensive.

The violent wind pressure domain was constantly eroded by the yin energy, and the pillars of fire were weakened layer by layer.

The clash between the fifth level of the Heavenly Dao sequence and the fifth level of the Earthly Dao sequence, which started with rampage, is gradually being pushed into a predicament.

Not far from where the two were locked in fierce combat, the sounds of battle echoed from several other locations.

A bewitching woman with a head full of snakes stood in mid-air, her body surrounded by eerie and alluring arcs of light. Her gaze swept over the rocks...

The plants and even the incoming energy were all petrified.

Despite facing two Baili Hou from different paths, she still managed to overwhelm them, forcing them to retreat step by step, and even causing parts of their bodies to turn to stone.

In another area, a lich, surrounded by dark runes, waved his hand, causing bone spikes to erupt from the ground and eerie cursed flames to gather in the air. He single-handedly held off two directors of the Jiangcheng Bureau of Mysticism.

Within a few rounds, both directors had been severely injured and were in grave danger.

The power gap between Sequence Six and Sequence Seven was on full display at this moment.

Meanwhile, battles broke out in several other locations nearby.

Several Ghost Official-level cultivators who crawled out of Chen Xuanli's coffin were fighting with other experts sent by Jiangcheng.

Roars and crashes echoed continuously, indicating a fierce battle.

Having fought to this point, Jiangcheng has committed almost all of its available forces.

Even the chief advisor, Tang Zhou, known as the "God of Wind and Fire," has personally taken action.

Those who have not yet appeared are only a few beings with special duties, such as Lord Hebo Luo and the Judge of a Hundred Ghosts.

They all had other missions to complete and were unable to leave or come.

But clearly, the situation is deteriorating rapidly.

The fact that Chen Xuanli, the corpse-raiser who had been asleep for many years, was able to awaken from the ancestral temple sinkhole and confront the wind and fire god Tang Zhou head-on indicates that he had refined part of the sinkhole's power and was promoted from a judge of sequence six to the city god.

Even the corpse puppets he crafted reached the level of the seventh-rank ghost official.

With the addition of that mysterious underground expert who suddenly appeared, the balance of the battle has been completely broken.

The Salvation Church has achieved its goal.

Around the sinkhole, the gray, misty area continued to expand, breaking through the blockade and spreading outwards.

The Big Dipper Star Array, once set up by the Star Lord, has begun to crumble, with array artifacts breaking one after another.

Deep within, the abyss-like fissure continued to expand, terrifyingly devouring everything around it like a living creature.

Mingjiang Residential Area.

Inside Room 02, 22nd Floor, Building 6.

Yi Guoqiang was pondering Xu Lindong's suggestion when he turned to look at Zhou Hui beside him and grinned.

"Dongzi is really doing well now. He's about to be promoted to a first-level executive officer so quickly, and he's even taking us to live in the family compound of the Department of the Supernatural."

There's nothing to be reluctant about leaving this old house, so I think we should just settle on this?"

Zhou Hui hummed in agreement, then looked at Xu Lindong and said, "Dongzi, you said the chaos outside the city is only temporary, right?"

If we want to come back and stay for a few days in the future—is that still possible?

She gave a slightly embarrassed smile. "You know, I don't have many hobbies. I just like playing mahjong with the neighbors."

"You really are—"

Yi Guoqiang's face hardened. "Don't your parents-in-law play mahjong with you in the family compound of the Department of Mysteries?"

Dongzi, this is for you to enjoy life in the future, and you're still not satisfied?

"So many people want to get in but can't, and you've chosen to be the only one who gets in."

"I asked Dongzi, not you!"

Zhou Hui snorted, "Those people living in that courtyard are all rich and powerful. Don't you know how little money I have? How dare I sit at the table and play mahjong with them?"

"Alright!"

Yi Guoqiang waved his hand, adopting a commanding stance, "Listen to me. I'll find a chance to sell this old house later, pay off the remaining loan, and have an easy time!"

"You dare sell it?" Zhou Hui immediately objected. "This house was bought with money I scraped together from my dowry; it's our wedding home!"

Xu Lindong quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Uncle, Aunt, let's not sell the house. I've lived here for so many years and I've grown attached to it. We haven't reached that point yet."

Moreover, although things are a bit chaotic outside the city now, things will definitely calm down after a while. We have to trust the strength of the Bureau of Divine Wonders.

"Living in the family compound in the past was only temporary. If you want to come back to live here in the future, you can switch between the two."

"That's good! That's good!" Zhou Hui's face showed a relieved smile.

Yi Qianxun, who was playing a game with her legs crossed next to her, threw down the handheld console: "I don't care, I'll go wherever Dongzi goes."

"It's fine if you don't come. It'll just be Dongzi and me staying there. Young people staying up late won't disturb you."

"What kind of talk is this!"

Yi Guoqiang glared at her, about to scold her, but then he thought about it again. It didn't seem wrong for two young people to live together. On the contrary, it suited his tastes perfectly. So he swallowed his words back.

"Are you done talking? Dongzi, come on in and let's discuss your promotion."

Yi Qianxun got up and pulled Xu Lindong towards the room. "I heard that promotion is risky, so it's best to have someone protect and keep an eye on things. You can help me keep an eye on things."

"Girl, you're getting promoted so soon?"

Yi Guoqiang was somewhat surprised and immediately stood up, excitedly wanting to follow.

"Sigh, Dad, don't come and make things worse."

Yi Qianxun blocked Yi Guoqiang and the delighted Zhou Hui from entering through the door.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things."

Xu Lindong's voice came from inside the house.

The two elders were relieved, exchanged a glance, and looked at the closed door.

Although I was happy, seeing how familiar and close the two children were now, unlike before when they were so awkward and shy, I couldn't help but wonder if things were moving a little too fast.

"Sigh, young people are just different. They accept things and emotions at a different speed. It's a matter of suddenly understanding things."

""

Yi Guoqiang sighed, glancing at Zhou Hui, "Unlike in our generation, it took me three days to hold your hand and half a month to kiss you, and I was praised as a love saint for that, fast enough."

"You old lewd man!"

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes and turned to do housework.

They're an old married couple; they just had a fight outside but made up inside. Their little squabble wasn't anything serious.

At this moment, inside the room, Yi Qianxun became nervous again after closing the door, her hand tightly gripping a bottle, her pretty face blushing.

"Dongzi, how do you use this?"
