Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Xue Rengui pulled his halberd from a demon, "Those people who have been hit by these demons' attacks probably won't live much longer..."

Li Jing cleaved the three attacking demons in two with a single halberd strike, then asked Jin Lingzi, who was lying on the ground behind him, drawing runes on the ground, "Miss, are you alright?"

"All right!"

Jin Lingzi's golden pupils burst forth with dazzling golden light, and he slammed his hands on the ground, causing the entire brothel to radiate a dazzling golden light.

Immediately afterwards, all the figures inside the brothel vanished along with a golden light...

On the open plain east of Dajiang Street, accompanied by a strong wind, a huge spatial passage suddenly appeared, and figures fell from it.

Not only Jin Lingzi and Li Jing, but also Li Moxuan and others below the brothel were teleported over.

What's going on?

Fan Kuai was completely dazed. He hadn't even had time to react before he fell into a spatial passage and ended up here.

Moreover, there are three powerful guardian spirits by his side. Could these be Li Xiaozhi's guardian spirits?

"I'm exhausted..."

Jin Lingzi slumped to the ground. "Li Moxuan, this is all I can do for you. The rest is up to you..."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Jin Lingzi..."

Li Moxuan put the weak Fan Tianyin down from his arms. "Fan Kuai, she's in your care now!"

"Do not worry!"

Fan Kuai patted his chest, "I won't give them a second chance to scheme against me!"

Li Moxuan turned around and, surrounded by Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Xue Rengui, walked towards Shuten-dōji, who had also been teleported there not far away.

He had Jin Lingzi move the battlefield here because what he was about to do might be a bit too big, and it was easy for the ground to collapse if it was below. Here, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

"Heh, you shouldn't have let me come to this open space..."

Shuten-dōji couldn't help but laugh, unscrewed the sake bottle, and took a sip. "Don't forget, I am the Demon King. Even if it's not nighttime, I can still command a hundred demons!"

His golden vertical pupils glowed red, and he slammed his right claw into the ground, shouting, "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!"

The ground around Shuten-dōji cracked open, and hundreds of Ōeyama demons emerged from the ground. They had ferocious faces, bloodshot pupils, and exuded a terrifying aura.

Li Yuanba grinned. He had been worried that one wouldn't be enough to share, but now it seemed there was at least enough for a warm-up. However, his hopes were quickly dashed.

Along with the firelight, instead of the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd, a long sword exuding a mysterious aura appeared in Li Moxuan's hand—the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, given to him by Li Shimin.

Li Yuanba's face showed surprise, "Little Mo Xuan, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Using the Tang Dynasty's army to deal with these little devils is a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut...

"That's right, this guy makes me very uncomfortable!"

While it may seem like making a mountain out of a molehill, using a cannon to kill a mosquito is never a question of whether it's possible, but rather whether one wants to. Besides, even Lei Pao has used his cannon to shoot birds!

Seeing this scene in Chang'an, Li Shimin was speechless. "How willful..."

Li Moxuan infused his spiritual power into the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, causing the sword to emit light. Instantly, dark clouds gathered in the once clear sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

A series of thunderclaps sounded, accompanied by howling winds, seemingly playing the Qin King's Battle Song...

However, Li Moxuan had no time to pay attention to these things, because he sensed a huge number of souls responding to his summons—ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million… no, it was still increasing…

As expected of Emperor Taizong, his charm is just too great!

Li Moxuan felt that these souls were like high school students fighting over food after class, frantically rushing towards him.

But we don't need that many at all!

He hurriedly stopped the summoning, and only then did the souls cease their journey, reluctantly returning to the underground...

Li Moxuan breathed a sigh of relief; this should be enough...

He raised the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Great Tang Heavenly Army?"

The ground began to shake violently and crack, and soldiers dressed in black armor and bright armor crawled out from underground.

Among them were not only the heavily armored cavalry Xuanjia Army, but also the emperor's personal guard Shence Army, the cavalry-killer Modao Army, the border troops Anxi Army, and Shuofang Army...

A total of 100,000 troops stood behind Li Moxuan, forming a stark contrast with the Hundred Demons of Mount Oe behind Shuten-dōji...

"This……"

Looking at the Tang Dynasty flags fluttering among the army behind Li Moxuan, Shuten-dōji's face turned ugly. No, is it really necessary?

Li Moxuan pointed his sword at Shuten-dōji, "Everyone, listen to my command! Be as brutal as you can and slaughter the enemy!"

"I will obey Your Highness's command!"

The heavily armored cavalry charged at the forefront of the army. On this open plain, even these demons probably couldn't withstand a single charge from them...

I'm going to eat you all!

Shuten-dōji sprouted blood-red fleshy wings from his back, flew into the sky, opened his blood-red maw, and tried to suck all the Tang soldiers into his mouth.

"Here you go! Have a lollipop!"

Li Yuanba, riding Wanli Yanyunzhao, took the lead and threw the Golden Hammer of Leiguweng in his hand towards the gaping maw of Shuten-dōji.

Shuten-dōji's expression changed. Before he could close his mouth, the Golden Hammer of the Drummer was sucked into his mouth, and a burning sensation immediately spread through his body, as if he had swallowed a hot iron.

"Huh? You really want to eat it?"

Li Yuanba stood up, pushed off the back of Wanli Yanyunzhao with both feet, and the ground beneath the horse's hooves cracked like glass. Li Yuanba then used the momentum to land on top of Shuten-dōji's head.

He gripped the last remaining golden hammer with both hands and slammed it down on Shuten-dōji's back, yelling, "Spit it out!"

Shuten-dōji plummeted to the ground like a meteor, creating a large crater, and Li Yuanba's Golden Hammer of the Drummer was also spat out by him.

"Cough cough... Is that all?"

Shuten-dōji climbed out of the pit, took a breath, opened the gourd at his waist and drank from it. Then he suddenly spewed a stream of eerie green flames at Li Yuanba.

"Ghost Gourd Demon Flame!"

Amidst the eerie green flames, a dark figure burst forth. Despite the gourd blocking Shuten-dōji's path, the Yu King's Spear pierced through the gourd and plunged into his body.

Li Cunxiao sneered, "You're still too green to play with fire in front of us!"

"Asura Demon Slash!"

Shuten-dōji gritted his teeth and roared, and a blood-red giant blade appeared above his head, slashing straight down at Li Cunxiao.

boom--

Li Cunxiao's left hand, holding the Bi Yan Claw, firmly blocked the blood-red giant blade. "Kid, is that all you've got?"

"you……"

"Kid, you'll remember this!"

The black flames on Li Cunxiao's body condensed into a huge red-eyed black dragon above his head, staring menacingly at Shuten-dōji.

"You shouldn't have messed with that guy surnamed Li!"

As Li Cunxiao finished speaking, the red-eyed black dragon opened its blood-red maw and pounced down to bite Shuten-dōji. The black flames in its mouth instantly enveloped him, and it swallowed him whole.

With Shuten-dōji devoured by Li Cunxiao, peace returned to the area. As for the hundred demons of Mount Ōe, they were all long dead...

[Mission complete, hibiscus successfully tamed]

So Shuten-dōji was the cannibal in the system quest?

Li Moxuan sheathed the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, and the 100,000-strong Tang army slowly dissipated. He then walked towards Fan Tianyin, who had fallen into a coma due to extreme weakness.

He picked Fan Tianyin up by the waist, intending to return to Dajiang Street first, and then go back to the Greedy Camp after she had recovered from her injuries.

Chapter 139: Should I give you an award?

Dajiang Street, Jiangshan Villa.

"You're really hard to kill..."

Li Siye frowned as he watched Ma Shumou's severed arm grow back to its original shape.

Uncle Ma's face was crazed. "How about it? You can gain this ability by eating people. Do you want to eat some too?"

Li Siye ignored him. This Ma Shumou was no match for him at all; he was just difficult to kill, and even his head could regenerate after being cut off...

Do you mean we have to cut his whole body to pieces?

On the other side, the battle between Li Yijun and Ma Linghai was even more intense. Li Yijun's sword and Ma Linghai's cane collided repeatedly in the air, sending sparks flying.

"Everyone risked their lives to help you, and you want to eat them all! You're worse than a beast!"

Li Yijun hit and cursed at the same time, "A person like you doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

Seemingly having a sore spot hit, Marouko became agitated, "What do you know?!"

He released his cane, grabbed Li Yijun's hand holding the knife with one hand, and punched Li Yijun hard in the face with the other.

"If it weren't for the money, do you think they would care whether we live or die?!"

"We guardian spirits are inherently weaker than others. Do you know how pathetic we are when we encounter those spirit hosts with powerful guardian spirits?!"

"Ever since I experienced being trampled underfoot, I vowed to become strong, strong enough to trample everyone underfoot. So what if I eat people?"

"And how could someone like you, born with a powerful guardian spirit, possibly understand?!"

Ma Linghai roared and swung another punch at Li Yijun's face, but this time Li Yijun blocked it with his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he released his sword and punched Ma Linghai in the face, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

Li Yijun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "If I didn't know you were involved in cannibalistic activities, I would have been moved by you!"

"That's so inspiring, shouldn't we give you an award, you jerk?"

Noticing Li Yijun's disdainful look, Ma Linghai felt a surge of anger, scrambled to her feet, and charged at Li Yijun with all her might, shouting, "I hate it when people look at me like that!"

Li Yijun was too lazy to waste words with him. He conjured a lightning spear in his hand and pierced through his body.

Ma Linghai's body froze, unable to move forward even an inch. As Li Yijun released his grip, he collapsed, his pupils gradually dilating...

Li Yijun turned around, covering his swollen and red left cheek. "You've regressed! To actually get your face injured by this trash, it's so embarrassing..."

Thankfully, Fang Wencheng and Du Shuze didn't see it, otherwise they would have been laughed at to death...
