Lying on the cold ground, his breathing was so weak that it seemed like it would stop at any moment.
Just the experience of more than ten seconds made Wu Qian feel like she had died once. When the old man pulled out the holy spear, it was as if a big hand was inserted into her body at the same time, trying to pull out her heart.
If the boy had not opened the barrier in time, he would have had no chance to see what happened next.
But what happened next was probably the most terrifying thing Wu Qian had never experienced in her life...
I saw the electric currents like the claws of a blue dragon starting from the spear on the stone surface, tightly wrapping the huge rock. Anyone who approached at this time would be reduced to ashes.
Yaqi and Tengu both stood aside tactfully, watching silently.
After a moment, the clear cracks seemed to be a virus that had been given life. Still with the gun tip as the route and the electric current as the route, it twisted and turned, quickly enveloping the entire boulder, and the fine fragments began to fall off, like a precursor to an earthquake.
The four monsters around him instinctively knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered their heads and no longer dared to look directly at him.
Whether Wu Qian, who was lying on the ground, was willing or not, she vaguely saw a ferocious arm rushing out from the stone and grabbing the Spear of Longinus on the rock surface.
Wu Qian had no idea what happened next. It was because when that arm grasped the gun, the terrible resonance appeared again...
However, this is completely different from the sense of oppression shown by the old man. This is a spread of darkness.
A huge expanding semicircle spread at a speed faster than light, and in an instant half of Japan was shrouded in darkness.
Seen from space, it looks as if a huge black pearl has risen from the surface of the earth.
This was not just ordinary darkness, it was an absolute swallowing of light. The blazing sun could not penetrate, and in the city, no matter if it was a lighter, a flashlight, or even a flare, it could not produce the slightest light source.
It only takes a few seconds for the panic to make those shrouded in darkness hesitate, feel fear, and scream.
The human spirit is far more fragile than they imagine. Perhaps they can be extremely happy in the dark, but in this absolute darkness, the fear of losing their eyes is enough to drive them crazy.
And at the beginning of everything, this feeling of fear tightly wrapped around Wu Qian's weak body.
"It feels so good to be able to breathe. I love this world..." A strange voice sighed in the darkness, and this sigh seemed to express a thousand years of regret. "Is this the 'thing' you used to save me? It's a pretty good 'toy' that can actually reflect my inner world. Interesting."
The holy spear that Yaqi and Daitengu could not control together was just a thing, a toy in his hand...
"We sincerely welcome Lord Nine-Tailed Fox to be released from his seal and come out into the world. We, the hundreds of ghosts, have been waiting for a thousand years, and now we are back under your rule. One day, our demon world will surely rule over the three realms. Who can compete with us?!" With a sigh, Da Tengu burst into tears.
"Let's put these aside for now. I seem to have found an interesting person..." Throwing the old man's "hot face" on the ground, Jiuwei stared at Wu Qian who was panting on the ground.
In the darkness, Wu Qian couldn't see anything, after all, she was not a monster.
But a clear sound of footsteps was coming towards him and stopped only half a meter in front of him.
Suddenly, my body felt like something was grabbing my collar, and I flew into the air, just hanging there.
Because they were so close, Wu Qian could even feel the other person's breath, which was sniffing gently on her body.
"Who brought this 'gift'? It's so special that it makes my blood boil." Jiuwei's voice only made Wu Qian's heart tremble.
"My Lord, I am an ordinary girl that I brought from Country Z. I just brought her with me today." Yaqi answered the question respectfully. This was the first time I had seen her. There was a hint of fear in his tone...
"Is this a deliberate trick by God? The seal was lifted after a thousand years, but I didn't expect to find information related to 'him' as soon as I came out. It seems that our story is not over yet? Do we have to continue to play it out?" Kyuubi was confused and even sad.
"Sir, your 'he' is..." Daitengu asked presumptuously.
"The only immortal who can make me look him in the eye—Ziya. This girl is full of his scent, but it's a little different?" As he said this, Jiuwei approached and sniffed. The degree of closeness made Wu Qian feel that she would touch its body if she moved a little. It didn't seem like anything special, but her nerves were so tense that they could break at any time. A voice in her mind kept telling her that if she just touched "it", she would die in unimaginable pain. "This smell is a mixture of too many boring human emotions, happy, painful, sad, and even love? Ziya is not such a sentimental person...
The only two emotions I know of him are hatred for evil and pity for living things.
Isn't this the original smell of Ziya, but the smell of his soul
Who would have thought that he would choose to reincarnate as a human?!"
Suddenly, the owner of the voice laughed in surprise, and Wu Qian could feel the joy on his face even though she couldn't see it.
"Sir, she is just an ordinary human being. There is no life form worthy of Ziya's soul around her. You just left the temple, and I have arranged a place for you to rest. Look..." Yaqi explained hurriedly, appearing so flustered, because the person he thought of was enough to make him so flustered.
"Hehe, it doesn't seem to be as simple as Master Yaqi said?" Da Tengu laughed complacently, "You seem to have forgotten to report something. This girl is a member of the Supernatural Investigation Division. In the Investigation Division, there is a young man named Xu Zhe, who is only twenty years old but can manipulate the Five Elements Forbidden Spells. He even killed several of my monsters and ghosts."
"A character like a ghost is not even as good as an ant. He is not worth mentioning at all." Yaqi showed a ferocious look, just because he hated being reported.
"Shut up, it's so noisy..." Just a few words that sounded like a complaint, but the two god-level demons dared not even breathe, and knelt respectfully behind the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The comparison of power is so cruel and sad...
"Interesting human girl, from now on, your value will undergo a qualitative change. I believe that you will have a lot of fun 'playing' in this 'game' that has been suspended for three thousand years..." Jiuwei's smile made Wu Qian's heart stop beating.
The darkness disappeared in an instant, and the strange phenomenon that lasted for several minutes was explained by the government as irregular movement of the atmosphere.
People’s hearts were appeased and peaceful life resumed, but no one knew how long it would last.
On the other side of the ocean, on another continent where all stories originate, the same story is happening...
Located 25 kilometers south of Xian City, there is a majestic mountain. It is said that in ancient times, a traveler came here after crossing the sky and the earth. He was exhausted and looked at the mountain in front of him. He mistakenly thought that he had reached the end of the earth, so he named this mountain Zhongnan.
From ancient times to the present, the beautiful scenery of Zhongnan has attracted many literati and poets to visit here, leaving behind many moving poems.
Now, it is also a tourist destination, and tourists never stop coming here, no matter it is in the high season or off season. The roads are winding and rugged, and there are always people coming and going.
But there was one place where only one person was seen...
From a distance, on an unknown cliff, a man was climbing up with great effort, carrying a huge black golf bag on his back.
Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a rock climbing enthusiast at all. The most obvious thing is that this guy doesn't know how to write the word death...
Such a steep and towering rock wall, but there is no safety protection at all. He is still wearing the standard white shirt and white pants for patients, and soft slippers on his feet
Don’t be fooled by the fact that he is climbing with a load. At this moment, he has reached a height of more than 400 meters above the ground, which is terrifying.
Grabbing a protruding rock wall with one hand, Xu Zhe looked down, unable to tell whether the floating clouds were fog.
After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Xu Zhe ended his break and continued this extraordinary "journey".
Another fifty meters passed, and Xu Zhe suddenly kicked his feet upwards and finally lay flat on a huge rock platform.
This made Xu Zhe no longer have the strength to do anything, his whole body was limp like cotton candy. He gasped fiercely for the thin air to replenish the energy lost in his body.
Looking closely, the pair of hands that were used to climb were already bloody, and some of the wounds cut by the rocks were more than ten centimeters long.
It makes people suspect that you can see the bones inside if you flip it over casually...
Why come here? Xu Zhe now has no strength to answer the question, and the one who answered his doubts is another figure.
It turns out that this platform with an area of about 50 square meters is not as simple as imagined. There is a dark cave entrance on the nearby rock.
An old man walked out of the dark cave. His short silver hair and silver mustache showed how old he was.
But surprisingly, unlike ordinary elderly people, his skin was very smooth, as if he was only in his early forties.
The most surprising thing was that he was wearing jeans, a black tight T-shirt and a black leather windbreaker, which was very similar to what Xu Zhe wore when he fought in the past.
"Son, did you come to see me? You are really filial. Are you afraid that I, an old man, will die of loneliness here?" With a happy smile, the old man squatted beside Xu Zhe, picked up a branch, and poked the motionless Xu Zhe with interest.
"You should know why I came here..." Xu Zhe finally caught his breath, but he did not move and asked softly. It was the first time that the old man saw such a serious expression.
"Want to defeat the Yamata no Orochi King? Forget about it. He is a great demon that has practiced for more than three thousand years. If he were thrown into the sky, he would be a god. A mere human has a lifespan and cultivation of at most a hundred years. What right do you have to fight against others?" The old man sighed and sat on the ground. It seemed as if he could see through Xu Zhe's heart and saw everything that happened on the spot.
"Ten years ago, I was 'expelled' from the Supernatural Investigation Division. Two years later, you brought Boss Ouyang to the mental hospital where I was, and strongly requested that I join you... Connecting all these things together, do you really think I'm a fool? In fact, you have already calculated that I am Ziya's reincarnation, and you may even have known God's plan.
Otherwise, you can't ask me to complete your nearly 60-year "cultivation mission" in eight years, right? Predicted to be the closest prophet to God among humans - the thief of the world. "Xu Zhe stared at the person next to him like an eagle. It was he who taught him all the knowledge about exorcism, even the lost five elements forbidden spell. But there was no gratitude in Xu Zhe's eyes, because he was just a "chess piece" used by everyone.
"You jerk, if I hadn't taught you, you wouldn't have survived the battle with Yaqi. Even the most rubbish monster could have killed you a hundred times. You actually looked at me like an enemy..." He slapped Xu Zhe on the forehead with force. The look that even monsters feared had no effect on the old man. "I have taught you everything I can. In the past eight years, your learning ability has been more terrible than you can imagine. Calling yourself a sponge is an insult to you. You are like a water pump at full power, sucking out all my knowledge.
In order to help you learn faster, I have omitted the parts of each technique that are meant for cultivating the mind. Is that why you are so uneducated that you actually hate your own master
If you want, I can also help you make up for the missed 'lessons'."
"I want anything that can make me stronger. You must know someone who can teach me how to defeat that guy." Xu Zhe sat up from the ground.
"Foolish child..." With a faint sigh, Thief Shi looked into the seemingly endless distance, "In this world, is there any being more powerful than you? The one sleeping inside you is the Father of the Gods in heaven. Without the List of Gods he established, there would be no concept of heaven at all...
If you want to learn, learn from yourself…”
