The buildings on the mountainside, though rather abstract, were still habitable enough, but the architectural style of the Senluo Palace was exactly like that of Picasso.
The demons and monsters among them are also extremely disproportionate, with one eye being larger than the other, or one arm being longer than the other.
The ghosts above the halfway point of the mountain, though they didn't resemble humans either—some had human faces and snake bodies, others had ghost heads and human legs, and still others were top-heavy—were still barely symmetrical.
at this time.
As the battle between Jiang Liu and the Underworld Emperor ended, the ghosts and monsters in the Senluo Palace and the surrounding area were no longer afraid. They all came out of the caves and houses, densely packed together, like a river flowing outside the mountains.
This "river" formed by numerous demons and monsters was driven by the relatively intact ghost soldiers and demons on both sides, flowing around the entire Black Mountain, which actually caused a slight change in the "magnetic field" of the Black Mountain.
"Perhaps this is the method used to influence the Heavenly Palace inside the Great Black Mountain..."
Jiang Liu pondered, took a breath, and channeled the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, holding the Dharma Image Talisman Seal. He mastered the art of controlling the fire and borrowed the power of the Qimen Dunjia to autonomously sense the unpredictable changes in the atmosphere of this world, sensing the aura of the many ghosts and monsters below. He also shrouded himself in a layer of "ghostly aura," burrowed into the many ghosts and monsters, and circled around with them.
Those ghosts and monsters were all fools; they truly didn't notice Jiang Liu, only keeping a slight distance and not daring to approach him.
Is it because Jiang Liu has too much "ghostly aura"?
it's not true.
Rather, they felt ashamed of themselves.
The reason is that the ghosts and monsters on Daheishan Mountain are all formed by the fusion of the five poisons, six desires, and seven emotions abandoned by the pure consciousness that entered the Heavenly Palace, combined with other ignorant yin spirits. Although they are full of the five poisons, entangled by the six desires, and confused by the seven emotions, they still have a bit of self-awareness and yearn for a perfect form.
Seeing Jiang Liu, a ghost with a "human form," how could he not feel sorry for himself?
On appearance.
Among a crowd, Jiang Liu could only be described as "handsome," but among this group of grotesque ghosts whose forms were distorted, even if Jiang Liu were a thousand times uglier, he would still be "extraordinarily handsome"!
Everything is afraid of comparison!
# Chapter 367 Senluo Palace
At first, seeing that these ghosts were some distance away from him, Jiang Liu thought that he had put too much "ghostly energy" on himself and had to dissipate some of it.
But to no avail.
After following these ghosts for a mile, he made a guess and couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought that ghosts also have the concept of 'feeling ashamed of their appearance'."
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu just smiled and followed the ghosts for several more kilometers until they arrived outside the Yama Palace, where they separated from the ghosts.
The bull-headed and horse-faced demons who were waving whips on both sides, driving the monsters forward, didn't mind when they saw Jiang Liu emerge.
This is because his "perfect human form" clearly indicates that he is a "higher-level ghost".
Therefore, they dared not come forward.
Just as Jiang Liu was about to step into the Yama Palace, he changed his mind and turned around. He bowed deeply to the horde of ghosts outside the palace, using his human magnetism to manipulate the special magnetic field formed by the torrent of ghosts, and said with gratitude, "Thank you all for giving me a ride. I will soon liberate you!"
The ugly ghosts and monsters were bewildered, but they all turned their heads at the same time, continuing to move forward while looking at the river, seemingly with doubt and expectation.
As the magnetic field dissipated, the ghosts straightened their heads and continued to circle the Black Mountain, while Jiang Liu stepped into the Hall of the Underworld.
Bang!
The interior of the hall forms its own separate space.
As soon as he stepped inside, a bullet shot towards Jiang Liu's forehead.
But he was quick-witted and agile; he raised his right hand, imbued it with a layer of magnetism, and pinched it.
Look up.
Ten bald men, dressed in reddish-brown monk robes, each forming a mudra, their faces a mixture of anger and compassion, were engaged in a fierce battle with Zhang Zhiwei and Chu Xuan in the hall.
That bullet was fired by Chu Xuan, but one of them dodged it, and it just happened to fly in the direction Jiang Liu came from.
"Hey, Jiang Liu, you're here! Can you lend me a hand?"
Zhang Zhiwei dragged Chu Xuan, who had a broken leg, out of the encirclement of the ten "Buddha statues." "These ten guys are all pretty strong."
"good?"
Noticing the bloodstains at the corner of Zhang Zhiwei's mouth and the bruises on his arm, Jiang Liu chuckled and said, "The aura inside the Senluo Palace is different from the outside world. Using Qi to exert power doesn't consume much energy. For you to be injured to this extent, you're only considered 'not bad'?"
Zhang Zhiwei was a little embarrassed.
After all, what Jiang Liu said was true. Although the Senluo Palace did not seem large, it was a self-contained space with a layout similar to the outside world, which would not affect the performance of supernatural abilities.
But he still ended up in this state, which is indeed somewhat embarrassing.
"Who dares to trespass into the Hall of the Underworld?"
The ten men shouted in unison.
"I am an innocent person who was lured here by you. I haven't even questioned you yet, but you are questioning me instead. What kind of logic is that? Quickly bring me the 'Book of Life and Death' so I can take a look and cross our names off. Then we can pretend this never happened!" Jiang Liu waved his hand, looking like he was looking for trouble.
"To fail to pay homage before Yama, the King of Hell, is punishable!" the ten men roared in unison. "And to even attempt to peruse the Book of Life and Death? This is blatant insubordination! You deserve punishment!"
"So there really is a Book of Life and Death?"
After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he waved his hand and the iron rod that was floating to the side came into his hand. The spirits of the green dragon and white dragon within the dragon pattern on the pillar immediately returned to Jiang Liu's ancestral aperture and guarded that point of spiritual light.
"You two rest for a while, I'm going to test the skills of these Ten Kings of Hell."
After saying that, Jiang Liu swung the iron rod in his hand and smashed it directly on the head of one of the men, causing him to take a step back, but there was no mark on his head.
No wonder Zhang Zhiwei looked so disheveled—
[So these ten people are even more robust than the emperor of the underworld!]
As Jiang Liu's thought fell, his figure suddenly darted into the group of ten people. He raised his hand to catch the rebounding iron rod, and as he circulated his profound skill, his Qi transformed into a magnetic field, sweeping out a blue dragon that knocked back five of them. He then unleashed a white dragon, which, as it tumbled, shook off the other five.
However, the ten Kings of Hell only flew backward for nearly ten meters before stabilizing themselves. Nine of them developed cracks in their bodies, but recovered very quickly. The remaining one seemed to have cultivated a "Buddha's Golden Body," emitting a faint halo, and was completely unaffected.
Afterwards, the ten Yama Kings dispersed, and two of them sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures, their voices echoing throughout the entire Yama King's Palace.
Zhang Zhiwei immediately cast the Mind-Cleansing Mantra, touching his forehead and reminding him, "These two guys, one can influence a person's mind, and the other can disturb a person's spirit. Guard your mind, otherwise you will become more and more troubled as you fight, to the point that you will lose your composure and give others an opportunity to take advantage of you!"
Chu Xuan was also somewhat affected, but fortunately, he had a congenital defect in his "fate" that caused him to have emotional defects, which allowed him to barely resist this supernatural ability that disturbed his mind and soul.
"A very peculiar law."
Jiang Liu could understand why Zhang Zhiwei needed to use the Mind-Cleansing Mantra to stabilize his mind. After all, Zhang Zhiwei was still young. Although his strength was comparable to the older generation, and even among the older generation there were few who could compare to him, he had not yet experienced a hundred years. His temperament was not as tough as steel or diamond as the elderly Zhang Zhiwei. Some methods that affected his mind could still have a significant effect on him.
But for Jiang Liu, this method was only slightly peculiar.
Having lived two lives, his temperament has become far beyond that of ordinary people!
Not to mention that with his innate supernatural ability to seal the spirits of the five internal organs and cultivate a bit of sincerity, his spiritual light can stay in the sky and illuminate his ancestral aperture, allowing him to stay clear-headed at all times. How could he be disturbed by this?
Therefore, the river flow was unaffected. He swung his staff around, fighting against ten opponents with no disadvantage whatsoever, blocking from the front and rear, and parrying from the left and right.
As the Qi circulates throughout the body, it activates the talisman, allowing one to focus on three things at once. The Qi transforms at the shoulders and back, causing two more heads and four more arms to grow, forming a three-headed, six-armed form.
The head that was originally there now had its hair and beard standing up, dancing without wind, like a god or a demon.
It has three heads and six arms, each holding a steel rod—the other two are formed by using human magnetism to fix the Qi-transformed body.
And so, Jiang Liu charged forward, transforming into a vortex of energy, his staffs intertwining, causing the Yama Kings to tremble and rumble, and shattering the Ten Kings of Hell.
However, in a short while, only two of the Ten Kings of Hell remained: the one with the "golden body" and another hiding behind him.
But these ten Kings of Hell, like the Emperor of the Underworld, are immortal and indestructible; after being shattered, they can be restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Jiang Liu also withdrew from his "three heads and six arms" state, retreated to the side where Zhang Zhiwei and Chu Xuan were, and asked, "Did you figure it out?"
"Perhaps the key lies in the individual hiding behind the 'Golden Yama'?"
Zhang Zhiwei's eyes narrowed. He used his body as a talisman, transforming his Qi into a golden lightning bolt. In an instant, he flashed behind the person, his hand bursting with golden light and lightning, and slapped it towards the head.
Snapped!
With all his might, Zhang Zhiwei shattered the head of that individual in a single strike.
At that very moment, one of the eight shattered Yama Kings had been repaired. Its figure flickered, and its speed was no less than Zhang Zhiwei's. It transformed into two streams of light within the Yama King's Palace, constantly colliding with him.
However, the repair speed of the remaining seven Yama Kings decreased significantly after Zhang Zhiwei smashed the individual hiding behind the "Golden Yama King"!
"These ten guys are one entity!"
# Chapter 368 The Buddha's Ten Great Disciples
"These ten guys are one entity!"
Chu Xuan leaned against the corner of the wall and gave a result that differed from Zhang Zhiwei's.
Each of the Ten Kings of Hell is only slightly weaker than Zhang Zhiwei, and in terms of speed, strength, defense, or other individual aspects, they are even slightly stronger than Zhang Zhiwei at his full strength.
For example, the individual who recovered first and is now fighting Zhang Zhiwei is actually a little faster than Zhang Zhiwei. However, this individual is more straightforward, while Zhang Zhiwei is more agile, which is why they are able to hold their own.
That's why, when faced with the simultaneous attack of the Ten Kings of Hell, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't probe much about their strength. It was only after Jiang Ru entered the scene and unleashed a burst of power, shattering eight of the Kings of Hell, that Zhang Zhiwei concluded that the remaining two "Golden-bodied Kings of Hell" and the individual hiding behind them were the key!
However, Chu Xuan had already analyzed that these ten Yama Kings were one entity. Although they all seemed to be eloquent and skilled in combat, each Yama King actually had a different focus in terms of ability.
One who is responsible for combat decision-making and has sharp thinking;
One is extremely fast, even capable of flying;
With an indestructible "golden body," it is invincible in defense and can even withstand Jiang Liu's club attacks;
One eye was wide open, presumably able to observe every detail of the battle, and even "see" their physical condition;
A person who is eloquent can disturb one's mind;
A good speaker can influence the mind;
One of them had stronger limbs than the others and was skilled in close combat;
One with a broad chest and abdomen is likely able to communicate with other individuals and accelerate repair.
As for the other two...
Aside from that face that was half angry and half compassionate, his body didn't have any particularly outstanding features, which made it impossible for Chu Xuan to notice him at first glance.
But Jiang Liu could sense that one of the two bodies possessed a technique similar to Qimen Dunjia, which could amplify its own power while weakening others.
The other is where the true soul resides—
