Bai Qian stood behind Ling Xi, watching her effortlessly manipulate the misty air, easily suppressing the snake demons opposite her.

The snake demon was talking big, but when it came to actually fighting, he didn't seem to be very good.

Bai Qian glanced at the eerie figure emerging from the mist behind her and raised her palm.

The moon-white flames silently swallowed the eerie creature that had come from the ghost market and wanted to join in the fun in the square.

Including the one just now, this is the fifth strange creature that Bai Qian has eaten. No one is paying attention to her; almost all the attention is on Ling Xi.

The water vapor had now transformed into its most lethal weapon, relentlessly surging towards the snake demons. The snake demons were already struggling to cope with the flowing water alone, let alone with Guan Baiqian.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qian found a bench in the square, sat down, and looked at Ling Xi with her chin in her hand.

Although the snake demons were in a rather disheveled state, they were still able to hold on, probably because they were not very afraid of moisture.

It sounds contradictory—on one hand, you're struggling to cope, but on the other hand, you're not afraid.

If Bai Qian wasn't mistaken, these snake demons were probably all water snakes, naturally surrounded by water vapor. If the water controlled by Lingxi wasn't too fierce, it probably wouldn't have been able to cause much harm to these snake demons.

The pure incense was continuously squandered, turning into mist and water. A snake demon was caught off guard and pierced by a spear made of water, pinning it to the ground.

Then, as if sensing an opportunity, countless water droplets began to rapidly converge on the snake demon.

A wisp of moon-white mist also quietly mingled with the water vapor.

The serpent demon was swallowed by the moon-white mist, and its heart was quietly devoured.

The snake demons probably realized this wouldn't work, so they started to huddle together and cooperate to resist the water waves controlled by Lingxi.

Bai Qian had already leisurely sent the fire out of the square and drifted towards the Ghost Market.

"Take care of these people for me. I'll create an opportunity for you to run away with them." Lingxi's clear voice came from beside me.

Those who had been captured by the snake demon had already been quietly rescued by Lingxi using the water mist.

They must have been bewitched by the snake demon; it was quite obvious that something was wrong with them.

Bai Qian didn't speak. She glanced at the people shrouded and protected by the water vapor, then raised her eyes to look at the black pavilion not far away.

From within that pavilion, a wisp of dark mist drifted lightly in this direction.

Lingxi must have also noticed the fog, and the water vapor, under her control, went towards it.

However, the clear water vapor seemed to shatter at the slightest touch as soon as it came into contact with this dark fog, easily broken by the fog.

The fog settled on the ground, then revealed the figures within.

It was a person dressed in black armor, completely covered by the armor, making it impossible to see its specific appearance. Only the layers of dark aura surrounding it indicated that it was not a simple creature.

Its aura was somewhat strange, a bit like an eerie aura, but clearer and more stable than an eerie aura.

In terms of its nature, it is more like the malevolent aura in the Yin Gate that Bai Qian encountered before, but there are still significant differences between the two.

"Lord Yang," the snake demon addressed the armored man respectfully.

"Is this the enemy you speak of?" The armored man, referred to as Yang, looked at Bai Qian and spoke in a deep voice from his armor.

"Yes, as my master and I discussed, you help us deal with her and the river god behind her. Afterwards, our Qinglang Gang will dedicate all its resources to worshiping the earth god of your Chengfu." The snake demon nodded and replied hastily.

"Okay." Yang nodded, then looked at Bai Qian and the other two again, or mainly focused his gaze on Ling Xi.

Faced with Yang's gaze, Lingxi merely pursed her lips slightly, a hint of doubt on her unadorned face.

I'm not going to drag this out any longer, since the person has already been quietly rescued.

She gathered her sleeves, the incense smoke swirling and transforming around her, just as she was about to use the water vapor to reverse the flow and the giant wave to block the other side, thus covering her and Bai Qian's departure.

Seeing Yang, he took a step forward.

Lingxi subconsciously used incense to create a water mist for defense.

It turned out that Yang didn't care about him at all. It grabbed the dark black spear and, in the next second, it shot towards Bai Qian, who was sitting on a bench next to the square, like an arrow.

It could see everything clearly and knew what Lingxi was concerned about.

Rather than wasting time with Lingxi like this, it's better to strike at the heart of the problem.

Bai Qian, who was in a daze controlling the fire spreading in the ghost market, did not expect Yang to attack her first. Looking at the armored man who had come up in front of her and raised his spear high, she blinked her eyes twice in slight confusion.

I don't know why it suddenly started attacking me.

After the fire was extinguished, a moon-white mist drifted through the ghost market, and the strange creatures still doing business in the market were completely unresponsive to the sudden appearance of the mist.

Silently swallowed by the fog, a silent fire burned and spread throughout the city, eerily falling into the fog like a pebble sinking into a deep pool, instantly being kneaded into nothingness by the white fog.

Seeing the approaching spear, Bai Qian simply stretched out her palm and lightly touched it with her fair fingers.

The sharp spearhead was blocked by her slender, pale fingertips.

Yang paused, wondering if she was imagining things.

The spear, swung with all its might, was blocked by the opponent's finger.

Most importantly, it could clearly feel that it was rooted to a mountain, unable to shake the mountain in the slightest.

It instinctively took a step back, then gripped the spear with both hands and brought it down again.

This time, Yang used all his strength, gathering all the dark aura into the spear, and bringing with him most of his power, with this almost divine martial skill.

A terrifying shriek echoed in her ears, and the raging wind whipped Bai Qian's hair wildly. A heavy and dense aura seemed to transform into a raging beast, staring at Bai Qian as if it had gathered most of the power of the underworld into this spear.

The spearhead fell with tremendous force, as if it were going to smash a hole in the earth.

Bai Qian looked at the approaching spear tip. She still stretched out her slender fingers, but this time she didn't try to block the spear tip. Instead, she only reached out when the spear tip was almost touching her.

The spear was held firmly in the girl's white fingers, unable to move at all.

Meeting those dark eyes, Yang suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before he could even think about what the bad premonition might be, he saw Bai Qian extend her other hand.

Her slender white fingers gently pinched the side of the spear near the tip, and she applied gentle pressure with both hands.

The terrifying power split the spear in two.

Yang took a step back in horror, wondering where this monster came from, and then she saw the most frightening scene. She took a step forward.

He took two steps at a time and caught up with his retreating pace.

Yang subconsciously raised his hand, and the black mist transformed into a huge arm that slammed down on Bai Qian.

The next second, her raised hand was pinched by fair fingers and then torn apart.

Clench your fingers into a small fist, and throw a punch. It doesn't look fast; it's slow, weak, and powerless.

But when that fist collided with the sturdy armor, Yang truly realized what kind of monster he had provoked.

Its body crumbled in an instant, like a palace built of sand collapsing in a flash. The eerie aura had no effect whatsoever; it was easily scattered the moment it touched the moon-white surface.

The armor completely disintegrated, turning into fragments and shattering into pieces. Half of Yang's body was no longer a silhouette, and the remaining half of his face showed only terrifying shock.

As his body continued to back away, he thought about finding a chance to escape from here.

It saw the girl throw another punch.

There was no time to react, and I couldn't react.

As the moon-white light suddenly rose, the illness shattered into countless pieces and scattered on the ground.

Just two punches.

Volume 1: 138. Persevere for three minutes

Yang was stunned by the girl's two punches.

These two punches would have stunned any other strange creature.

It was unimaginably heavy, as if the sky had collapsed. At least of everything she had encountered in the past, nothing was as terrifying as the girl's fair and delicate fist at this moment.

A terrifying and endless force surged from within the body, and there was no way to stop it. After being struck by this punch, the body shattered into countless pieces, beyond any cure.

Bai Qian looked at the injured body in front of her and gently withdrew her hand.

The yin energy seemed to swirl and rise like the wind, and the snake demons who witnessed this scene felt as if their minds were about to explode.

They are not like Bai Qian; they were completely unprepared.

It should be said that their mental journey was simple and direct. They struggled to withstand Lingxi's attacks, but when they saw Yang make a move, they were encouraged and felt that Yang, as the underworld guardian appointed by the King of the Underworld, should be able to deal with Lingxi.

This was also their initial plan and intention.

And then... that was it. They watched as the black-haired girl shattered their hopes into countless pieces with just two punches.

The kind that can't be pieced together at all.

Anyone in this situation would probably feel powerless and panicked.

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, a snake demon struggling to stay afloat in the waves was a fraction too slow in activating its defenses and was swallowed by the terrifying waves, its body disappearing into the water.

Lingxi also noticed this scene, and an expression appeared on her face that was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing.

Bai Qian's strength was slightly beyond her expectations. She had initially guessed that Bai Qian would be very powerful, but she couldn't really judge how powerful she would be.

So she wasn't very surprised when she saw Bai Qian slap the eerie creature on the street to death.

But it looks like this now...

If you were the one who smashed the underworld guardian to pieces with a single punch, the outcome probably wouldn't have been any different.

Despite her surprise, Lingxi did not let up on her attacks against the snake demons. Taking advantage of the snake demons' momentary lapse in concentration, she swallowed two of them with water vapor.

They were planning to press on and take this opportunity to defeat the snake demons.

The dark mist recombines, and Yang's illusory figure re-forms itself beside the group of snake demons.

The snake demons were slightly taken aback when they saw Yang's figure re-formed.

Yang didn't speak, but just looked at the black-haired girl opposite him without any temper.

There's nothing to be resentful about. If the two sides were evenly matched and you were slightly weaker, then you should indeed be resentful.

But given the current situation...

He was nearly killed by two punches. If it weren't for the power granted to him by the Underworld Emperor, which allowed him to barely survive in this underworld, he would have been dead after those two punches.

The water vapor controlled by Lingxi was used by Yang to expel the yin energy to the outside.

It stared coldly at the snake demon beside it.

"What is Qinglang planning to do?" Yang asked, glancing warily at the black-haired girl not far away, as if afraid she would lift her foot and walk over.

"...I don't know. The ancestor said that you alone are enough to handle it, and he didn't arrange any other backup plans." The snake demon answered tremblingly upon hearing this.

"I don't care if you can communicate with it or not. If it doesn't have a backup plan, I can't keep these two here." Yang said in a gloomy tone. It had already done its best in this matter. Even in that situation, it didn't just run away. Instead, it was still thinking about what it had promised Qinglang.

A dense, slightly malevolent aura emanated from the dark armor, and various human faces seemed to emerge from the mist.

"I have to re-enact the rules of the Emperor in the underworld. If Qinglang can't do it in three minutes, they will be sent out of the underworld."

The snake demon was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and was about to say that three minutes might not be enough.

He gave Yang a cold, gloomy look.

"If we don't do this, we'll all die here in a minute." Yang stopped talking nonsense. This was no joke. If they kept trying to hold on like this, they would all die here in less than ten minutes.

Yin energy swept across from all directions, this yin energy that had been accumulated in this underworld all along was now being completely squandered by Yang.

Instead of attacking, they built layer upon layer of barriers in front of them, standing between them and Bai Qian.

Yang has lost the courage to fight against Bai Qian. Anyone who was punched into countless small pieces would lose the courage and confidence.

Its only goal now is to survive, and the means to do so is simple: to restore the rules of the underworld to the King of the Underworld.

Being sent out of the underworld three minutes after the attack is a rule that can be bypassed, and as the guardian of the underworld, Yang is qualified to do so.

So just now, in order to make it easier to deal with Bai Qian and the other two, it bypassed this rule, which also cut off their escape route.

As for now, this road has become their path to survival.

If they can hold out for three minutes, the rules will send Bai Qian and the other person out.

With all the Yin energy he'd accumulated over the years, he couldn't possibly not last three minutes. However, while this would save his life, he could forget about his initial plan. That's why Yang had just asked the snake demon about this.
