I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 187 - 137: Strange Fog, Mysterious Lights, Jiaolong!

Chapter 187: Chapter 137: Strange Fog, Mysterious Lights, Jiaolong!

The sky was as dark as ink.

In the distance, the mighty surge of the river waves, tumultuous and powerful, resembled a stampede of myriad beasts.

The water that spilled over the banks reached here, drowning the lower legs.

Under the dim green ghostly fire, a mutilated corpse was turned over.

This body had floated in the river for a day and night, nibbled on by countless fish, birds of prey, and wild beasts.

The half that remained showed an arrow sticking straight into the back, right into the heart.

A deathblow!

"..."

Lin Yan remained silent.

From the beginning, he had heard that Pei Xiong and young Zhan’s group had died at the Dayin River.

Initially, he thought it was due to a snake transforming into a dragon, affecting them.

The incident that night made him believe that perhaps the dragon wasn’t the main culprit.

The transformation at the source of the Dayin River was the real reason.

This was a natural disaster.

But now, this half of the arrow clearly told him.

This was man-made!

"I understand."

Lin Yan lifted his head, saw the wisp of green firelight, and said, "I will investigate this thoroughly! I promise you, no matter who is behind this, I will chop off his head to pay homage to you!"

The green firelight flowed ethereally, suddenly scattering.

It seemed to have lasted a long time but finally couldn’t hold on and dissipated into this eerie night.

And Lin Yan pulled out the arrow, tucking it into his chest.

He carried the mutilated corpse, heading toward the Pure Land.

Not drawing the night-blazing saber, but the aura of the Qi Refining Realm around him was no longer concealed.

The distant evil spirits and demons dared not approach and scattered away.

He planned to bring young Zhan’s corpse to the edge of the Pure Land, returning it to High Willow City tomorrow.

But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a series of booming sounds coming from behind!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The water of the Dayin River began to turn murky!

It was already dark, but the endless water of the Dayin River appeared extremely murky and chaotic.

No!

The light spread out!

Lin Yan looked down and saw the water at his feet also turn murky, shining with light.

Under the water that barely covered his legs, countless bones reflected.

Numerous mournful and tragic screams echoed, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

In an instant!

Lin Yan broke free from the restraints and leaped onto a rock, looking out toward the direction of the Dayin River.

There the sound of the dragon’s roar was furious and booming.

Blade light, thunderous, kept slashing down.

Deputy Commander Zhou had already restrained that dragon.

But the next moment, the blade light suddenly scattered!

The roar of the dragon also quickly faded away.

Deputy Commander Zhou had clearly realized that a more terrifying transformation was occurring in the Dayin River and made a split decision to flee.

The dragon, too, did not linger in battle and headed toward a far direction, seemingly in a rush to escape.

"This Dayin River, it no longer seems like a river of this world..."

Such a thought arose in Lin Yan’s heart.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly saw a white lantern in the distance, emerging.

In an instant, the lantern turned blood red.

Mysterious Lamp!

Lin Yan’s heart sank.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from beneath the rock at his feet.

A piece of gold fell beside his feet.

Life ransom!

"So this time, the actual entity has descended?"

Lin Yan slowly set down the mutilated corpse, drew his night-blazing saber, and thought to himself, "Previously, I wasn’t afraid of you, and now my cultivation has greatly increased, already refining essence into Qi, and yet I should be scared of you? Wouldn’t that mean my cultivation increased for nothing?"

He took a deep breath and suddenly slashed out with his saber!

The Blood Evil Divine Saber, combined with the third tier of the Thunder Saber, burst forth with both essence blood and True Qi!

This slash reached a thousand steps away!

There was a thunderous explosion!

But under his slash, the Mysterious Lamp was split in half!

Then it turned into two blood-red Mysterious Lamps!

Following that, two became four, four became eight, eight turned into sixteen... in just a few breaths, it multiplied into hundreds!

Suddenly a fierce wind arose!

The wind blowing past the lanterns, illuminated by the blood-red fire, turned into tens of thousands of blood-red "vines" reaching for Lin Yan.

With a bang!

Lin Yan’s body shone with golden light!

In an instant, he activated the Golden Body Divine Power!

The myriad vines fell upon him, yet could not penetrate his body!

Rather, Lin Yan used the force to leap back a hundred steps.

He swept his saber horizontally, and the thunder exploded.

Accompanied by the Demon Suppression Divine Power!

True Qi burst out!

The saber light was dazzling, over ten meters long, cutting down thousands of vines!

But the next moment, the golden light on his body dissipated.

Lin Yan landed, stepped in the water, and thought to himself, "This Golden Body Divine Power of mine, after all, is an acquired Divine Power, which only lasts a moment once activated, and can only be used once every hundred moments!"

"Fortunately, I saved some Evil Qi, to use flexibly. I didn’t use all of it on the Point Cang Spirit Affinity and Mechanical Puppet Technique."

He no longer hesitated and added all the Evil Qi he had obtained earlier, along with the little he had accumulated before, onto his Golden Body Divine Power!

Divine Power 3: Golden Body! (32/1000)+

Boom!!!

At that moment, clumps of gold burst forth from beneath the water surrounding him and lunged toward Lin Yan!

In an instant, it triggered his blood to circulate so fiercely he could hardly keep it from boiling out through his pores!

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

Lin Yan steadied himself and dodged the onslaught of gold that flew at him like thousands of "arrows".

Where he had just stood, water splashed continuously, quickly piling up into a mountain of gold!

If it were real gold, perhaps Lin Yan would have been tempted to look closer, but he knew this blood money was fake and kept his eyes fixed on the mysterious lamp ahead since the beginning.

"As expected of a supremely evil object, its true form is indeed nothing like its avatars!"

Lin Yan exhaled and thought to himself, "If I hadn’t had the Demon Suppression Divine Power just now, I would have likely been done for! Even if Deputy Commander Zhou were here, he would probably struggle with this lamp’s true form!"

Mr. Lu took this particular lamp, infused with blood money, very seriously and named it the Life-taking Mysterious Lamp, which had been reported to Qifeng Prefecture City.

The most malevolent and evil tier!

Such Evil Spirits, within High Willow City, only Mr. Lu and the Great Temple Priest could confidently handle!

Even the Commander at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm might not suppress it!

However, Lin Yan, with his Demon Suppression skills, was considered the bane of demons in this world, and at this moment, he was actually eager to try.

If he could exterminate this Mysterious Lamp, the Evil Qi he would gain would far surpass that from the flesh of the Zodiacal Sovereign!

But before Lin Yan could strike again, he heard a thunderous shout from behind.

"You brat, what are you doing here? Run now!"

It was Deputy Commander Zhou’s voice!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan, instead of panicking, was overjoyed and said, "Deputy Commander, help me! Today I shall eradicate this great evil!"

"Run!"

Deputy Commander Zhou shouted even more desperately, "I told you not to come out earlier, you’re just causing more trouble!"

Lin Yan couldn’t help but look back, and his scalp tingled instantly.

He saw a dark fog rolling in from behind Deputy Commander Zhou, sweeping everything in its path.

"This is the Solitary Boat Mysterious Fog, a supremely evil existence!"

Deputy Commander Zhou bellowed, "Even we Commanders have to flee from it, what great evil are you talking about? What are all those lanterns ahead, and what kind of Evil Spirit is that?"

"..."

Lin Yan’s pupils shrank upon hearing this.

The Life-taking Mysterious Lamp’s true form was close, having fragmented into thousands of lanterns resembling stars everywhere.

At that moment, the two supremely evil beings came to pinch them from front and back!

"Never mind! Strike down those lanterns and escape forward!"

Deputy Commander Zhou shouted loudly.

Lin Yan immediately slashed at the myriad lanterns, yelling, "That too is a supremely evil existence, the Life-taking Mysterious Lamp!"

"..."

Deputy Commander Zhou hesitated, then abruptly veered to his left.

He turned his head, urgently yelling, "Knowing it to be supremely evil, how dare you strike it? You reckless man, run to my side now!"

Lin Yan, seeing enemies both in front and behind, felt his heart sink.

He gripped his Night-lit Precious Saber tightly.

Before he could decide whether to try fighting both, from behind the Mysterious Fog, another surge came rolling in, wild and violent, like a tidal wave!

The towering waves of the Dayin River swept forward!

Among the waters, many murky lights twinkled, mixed with numerous roars and cries, filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

A proud and long chant echoed from behind the waves!

Then there appeared an enormously thick, mountain-long serpent covered in scales, the Green Flood Dragon, stirring the waves and advancing.

Its head was bulging, and its fangs already extended!

The Transformation into a Flood Dragon was at a critical juncture!

But the angry roars of the Green Flood Dragon were intertwined with shock and rage as if something terrifyingly dreadful was relentlessly approaching from behind!

"Something is wrong!"

Lin Yan was greatly alarmed, no longer dared to delay, and swiftly leaped forward.

He cut through the blood-red gas-like "vines" that struck at him, then landed on the rocks, picking up the fragmented corpse of the young Xiao.

Immediately, he sprinted in the direction indicated by Deputy Commander Zhou.

"I, Lin Yan, have always prided myself on my Demon Suppression Divine Power, unafraid of any demon in the world."

Lin Yan couldn’t help but think to himself, "To think that after reaching the Qi Refinement Realm, I would have to flee from an Evil Spirit... it’s simply a disgrace!"

He glanced back and felt chills all over his body.

The Life-taking Mysterious Lamp relentlessly pursued!

The Solitary Boat Mysterious Fog followed closely behind!

Then the mighty Flood Dragon stirred the waves, causing waves tens of meters high.

What’s even more crucial, within the giant eyes of the Flood Dragon, there was a look of terror!

It seemed likely that behind the waves was a "terrifying disaster" that could threaten the life of the Flood Dragon!

"Assess the situation, adapt as needed, there’s no disgrace in this!"

Lin Yan ran even faster, thinking, "I must not act rashly!"

He then ran his True Qi through his body, focusing it on his legs.

In an instant, his figure was as fast as the wind!

His legs and feet appeared almost invisible!

Leaving no trace on the water!

In no time, he had outstripped the stunned Deputy Commander Zhou!

"What are you waiting for? Run!" Lin Yan yelled over his shoulder.

"..."

Deputy Commander Zhou hastily caught up, incredulous that the young man’s legs were faster than his own.

The next moment, as if realizing something, he exclaimed, "We can’t go to the Pure Land!"

The two supremely evil beings!

A giant demon in the form of a Flood Dragon!

Plus an unknown threat from behind!

A medium-tier Pure Land’s "town object" not only wouldn’t contain them, but it would likely also rouse them!

At that time, everyone in the Pure Land would perish that night!
