I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 274 - 197 Li Shen Sect’s Sword!

Chapter 274: Chapter 197 Li Shen Sect’s Sword!

Within the ancient ruins, inside the grand hall.

This hall belonged to one of the Five Elements, situated in the position corresponding to Metal Mansion; according to reason, the town object should be within.

One could only see a mountain Yeti leading the way, with a tall body and all over black fur, resembling a giant ape, but with snow-white fluffy hair on its face.

Its arms hung down past its knees, sweeping through the entrance beam and swinging into the hall.

Yet, before it had time to explore the situation inside the hall, it gave a tragic scream and cursed angrily, "Ten Thousand Corpses Old Ghost!!!"

Its voice fell, and it had already turned into a black shadow, grievously wounded, fleeing away.

And in a corner of the hall, a vast amount of sinister Yin Qi continued to gather.

In this world, when living creatures die, they become corpses.

When the corpses rot, they emanate a strange qi called Corpse Qi.

Corpse Qi gives birth to oddities, spawning Evil Spirits.

This Evil Spirit, henceforth, roams the mortal realm, murdering living beings, allowing them to decay, and devouring the new-born Corpse Qi. Inside Qifeng Prefecture, it is known as the Blood Slaughter God General!

"With this opportunity, I should be called the God of Ten Thousand Corpses!"

Within the grand hall, one could see this Evil Spirit transformed by the Ten Thousand Corpses, enveloping the area above like a Yin Cloud.

Below it lay three people, all decomposed, as if they had been dead for a long time.

However, these three people were previously those who had entered the hall to search for the town object.

Two of them came from Tribulation Ash, one just entering the Qi Refining Realm, and one at the beginning of the Refining Essence Realm.

One came from High Willow City, the Deputy Commander of the Right City Guard Army within the city, with a Cultivation at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm.

"What a pity..."

Just then, a sigh came from outside the hall, "Those two from Tribulation Ash were also the ones who defected from Li City."

"If we calculate like this, our Human Clan has, front and back, lost one Cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm and two at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm."

"All three of them, no matter where they were placed, would be considered significant figures capable of standing on their own. Now they have gathered here and died, it seems rather insignificant."

"But for the Ten Thousand Corpses Old Ghost to make them rot to such a state, seems truly excessive."

One could hear the person approaching with a wine gourd in hand, chuckling once as he stepped into the hall, speaking, "There’s only you in the hall, why not rush to make a move?"

"How dare you, a mere Refining Essence Realm cultivator, spout such wild words here!"

The Blood Slaughter God General, who was about to ascertain the exact location of the town object, seemed extremely furious.

But at that moment, two beams of light suddenly arrived.

Two more strong individuals from Tribulation Ash barged into the hall.

"Perfect timing!"

The Martial Artist from Qifeng Prefecture City, at the Refining Essence Realm, lifted his wine gourd and said with a laugh, "Since all three of you are here, come together. I’ll take you all down cleanly, and then it will be my turn to search for the town object with great care!"

"A disciple of the Li Shen Sect?"

The strong person from Tribulation Ash, his hands already like sharp claws, grimly said, "I remember you, a senior brother of Xu Dingye, though less talented, still has not entered the Qi Refining Realm until now, only fit to be an old servant, waiting upon Xu Dingye... When he visits the brothel, you stand guard at the door, a laughingstock."

"If the Sect Hierarch of Li Shen Sect were here, I would willingly cede the town object, but a mere Refining Essence Realm, why should I even consider it?"

Another strong person from Tribulation Ash, still maintaining human form, said, "Let’s deal with the Blood Slaughter God General first!"

"You think you can, just by yourselves?"

The Blood Slaughter God General, his Yin Cloud swirling, fiercely swooped down for the kill.

"Sigh..."

The middle-aged man couldn’t help sighing, "Really, no one takes me seriously..."

He uncorked the gourd and aimed it forward, "You might not respect me, but you should at least respect my master..."

Before his words ended, one could see from within the wine gourd, hundreds upon thousands of Sword Qi surged forth.

Sword Qi filled the sky, piercing through in an instant!

The mouth of the wine gourd, pointed in that direction, was swept clean in a moment!

"Is this the Yin-Yang Qi Absorbing Gourd?"

"Does it contain the Sword Qi of the Sect Hierarch of Li Shen Sect?"

Surprised cries began one after another within the hall, laden with astonishment.

Just a moment later, silence returned to the scene.

Soon after, one could see this person resealing the wine gourd, gently shaking it and murmuring softly, "This month, it can probably be used one more time."

He looked around and with a sigh, "It seems my battle achievements can only go this far, so be it, at least this town object should belong to me..."

With a sigh, his original intention was to acquire the supreme town object!

With this Sword Qi Gourd in hand, he must have hoped to gain a seat in the competition.

But Qifeng Prefecture’s intention was for him to snatch the Golden Hall Town Object.

Indeed, even if he could defeat all the powerful adversaries, he might not gain the approval of the supreme town object, and capture it in his hand.

Thinking thus, he tossed the gourd in his hand outwards.

The gourd hovered in mid-air, spinning on its own, seemingly actively searching for the town object’s location.

"It appears there are no lack of those with boundless ambition; so few have come here to fight for this town object..."

The man muttered to himself, looking outside, "The ones from Tribulation Ash who fell into the Abyss, Demons, Evil Spirits, even the brits with high Cultivations, are probably all headed towards the location of the supreme town object," he said.

He glanced up at the Yin-Yang Qi Absorbing Gourd and sighed again, "Does Qifeng Prefecture really think that the person who can obtain the supreme town object can keep it safe?"

He reached out to grasp the gourd, another thought surfacing in his mind.

"Who exactly is this person?"

——

At the same time, in the other halls, there was strife as well.

The Human Clan’s strong individuals from Qifeng Prefecture, along with hidden Tribulation Ash spies within the Human Clan.

Tribulation Ash had more powerhouses, but among them, there were also a few Zhao Ye people hiding.

Plus the Great Demons, Evil Beings, and Strange Creatures, all sides were in disarray, endlessly fighting.

Only the location believed to hold the supreme town object was still calm at this moment.

"In other directions, they are fighting fiercely, and two town objects have already been taken," said the Little White Ape, its eyes emitting golden light.

"Only those who are coming this way are not simple, they mostly have Cultivations at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm!"

Lin Yan laughed and said, "Such individuals, within their own influences, are basically overlords. Hence, they are full of ambition! They come here only for the supreme town object, and have even forsaken the ’Great Nine Town Objects’ within arm’s reach..."

"The eligibility to acquire the Supreme Town Object may not necessarily be within their grasp,"

The Little White Ape chuckled and said, "If the master doesn’t come, even if they make it to this hall, they may not be able to take out the Supreme Town Object and are likely to leave empty-handed."

"But, in the end, I did come,"

Lin Yan said calmly, "So, they can try to snatch the Supreme Town Object from my hands."

"Shall we leave now?"

The Little White Ape whispered, "It will still take a moment for the tree to integrate with the Supreme Town Object."

At this moment, the powerhouses coming from all directions, be it the Human Clan or evil demons, were almost all on the level of the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash.

If only one of them had come, perhaps a battle could be fought for a moment while waiting for the tree to fully integrate with the Supreme Town Object.

However, with such a convergence, Lin Yan, being the first to enter this hall, would inevitably become the target of all arrows.

Once the powerhouses from all sides take action together, they would undoubtedly be unstoppable!

What’s more, in the distance, there is even more formidable Qi Mechanism rapidly approaching!

The Blood Slaughter God General has already detected this location, sensing that the crowd and the evil demons that had just fled were converging here.

"Enemies approach from all directions, escape is impossible,"

Yet, Lin Yan laughed and looked at the broken statue, saying, "Do you think, by giving them the chance to fight over the Supreme Town Object after I’ve taken it out, I can be considered gracious?"

"It’s naturally a great favor," replied the Little White Ape.

"Having granted them such a favor, shouldn’t they worship me?" Lin Yan asked again.

"Of course, they should prostrate themselves in homage," said the Little White Ape, his eyes lighting up slightly.

"Then let them kneel before me,"

Lin Yan spoke calmly, "After all, this wouldn’t be the first time."

——

Whoosh!

Blood splattered out!

The Swamp Spirit Elder materialized a vast amount of Corpse Qi and was about to pursue his target.

But then he saw the Sword Lord sheathing his sword and said indifferently, "Don’t get entangled in battle; since we’ve encountered demons here, it proves we’re not the earliest arrivals!"

"It was my oversight,"

The Swamp Spirit Elder reabsorbed all the dispersed Corpse Qi and said, "Killing them holds little advantage; obtaining the Supreme Town Object is the biggest gain."

"Within this ancient relic, Tribulation Ash possesses the deepest understanding of this place, followed by the people from Qifeng Prefecture of the Human Clan,"

The Sword Lord moved forward and said, "It may be difficult to encounter the Supreme Town Object before them, but as long as we don’t fall behind them, that will be sufficient!"

——

Elsewhere.

Lord White Dragon opened his mouth and expelled a burst of True Qi.

With a flick of his finger, he removed the seal on the dragon-shaped mask and put it on his face.

"Ancestor, aid me in obtaining the town object, and I shall become the god of this land!" Lord White Dragon said, "Those who dwell here shall all look to me for protection. Once that happens, you can choose any type of human you wish to eat or any soul born at a specific time; it’s all yours to select!"

"Deal!"

The voice of the Evil Spirit, like that of an old lady, said, "The Shen Monkey is behind you, not three thousand steps away."

"Being one step behind me lessens his chance to contend for the Supreme Town Object," Lord White Dragon said with a cold laugh. "Three thousand steps behind, and he can only kneel at my feet!"

——

On another side.

There was a young man clad in red garments, holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Blood dripped down from the tip of the umbrella.

And on the ground, a massive ferocious wolf had turned into a withered corpse.

"This evil wolf was able to dominate a region, was highly cultivated, and was even able to break free from the ’town illusion,’ demonstrating a strong will and a purity in its ferocious nature; indeed, its soul tastes quite delicious,"

A satisfied voice came from under the umbrella, "Third Son, we can go now."

The Tribulation Ash Third Son immediately strode forward, using True Qi for swift movement like the gusting wind.

But his expression was cold as he said, "This is the last time; don’t delay any longer. There is a priority in all matters, and obtaining the Supreme Town Object is the most important."

"Eating that evil wolf only slowed us by twenty breaths; what’s the big deal?"

The voice from under the umbrella responded, "The Sect Hierarch said to wait for someone else to get a ’town object,’ otherwise Lord Qingling’s lingering soul won’t move... If the lingering soul stays within the Supreme Town Object, aren’t you afraid of being possessed by the remnant soul and becoming its vessel for rebirth?"

"Enough with the nonsense; if we delay any further, the Supreme Town Object will fall into someone else’s hands, and the people from Qifeng Prefecture are likely catching up," the Tribulation Ash Third Son, holding an umbrella, entered the hall, his gaze sweeping across to settle on the divine platform.

There sat a divine statue, hands folded on the abdomen, gazing forward, dark and profound.

Logically, the Supreme Town Object was within the statue.

Just as the Tribulation Ash Third Son moved forward.

A loud sound of sword cry was heard.

The Sword Lord had arrived!

Boom!!!

The Tribulation Ash Third Son, without hesitation, immediately took action, choosing to enter the fray!

This battle didn’t last three exchanges before a voice was heard from outside.

"Third Son, don’t be alarmed, your subordinates have arrived,"

Lord White Dragon entered the hall, laughing loudly yet with a somewhat solemn look in his eyes, coming a bit too late.

He was about to join the fight when sword Qi struck head-on.

He had just defended against it and was about to counterattack when he heard another voice from outside.

"Wouldn’t it be lacking without me in such a lively scene?"

A blue Jiaolong with horned head slithered in and coiled around a column in the hall.

"After all, we have come late,"

Suddenly, the hall became damp as if the roof had opened up, letting down a steady drizzle.

"Has Rain Transformation Venerate also arrived?"
