I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 307 - 218: Red Robe Saves Lives! Spirit Talisman Seals the Door!

Chapter 307: Chapter 218: Red Robe Saves Lives! Spirit Talisman Seals the Door!

Behind the Netherworld Stone Gate, the gloom was boundless, with countless restless spirits and fierce ghosts.

This place was filled with tens of thousands of spectral soldiers, lined up in military formations, permeated with an air of grim severity.

The great river surged, countless ghostly will-o’-the-wisps flickered above, and below, endless skeletons churned the waters.

Lin Yan stood atop the river, his murderous intent had dissipated, leaving him with a calmness he had never felt before.

The woman in red, however, still appeared ethereal as she moved forward holding the Life-taking Mysterious Lamp.

Wherever the lamp’s light touched, the ghosts of the soldiers screamed and melted away, hastily retreating from its illumination.

This was a lamp that should not exist in the Netherworld!

To the spirits of the Netherworld, the lamp wielded immense restraining power!

The silhouette of the red-clad woman floated towards two Judges, nearing them.

At that moment, she tilted her head slightly to look at Lin Yan, her eyes smiling.

Upon reflection, this was the second time Lin Yan had seen her.

The first time was when he killed the demon tiger and obtained the Nirvana Divine Egg – Lin Yan failed to kill her and thought he was about to die, until dawn when he saw her drift away.

Back then, her eyes on Lin Yan carried a blend of shyness and frailty, a delicate desire to be close yet too timid to approach.

At that time, Lin Yan thought his severe injuries might have caused a hallucination.

Afterwards, Lin Yan never saw her again.

On occasions when he remembered her, he had thought she was just an Evil Spirit passing near High Willow City.

It wasn’t until Little White Ape encountered her recently and told him about her that Lin Yan realized the deep and unfathomable connection he had with this red-dressed Evil Spirit.

But how this connection formed still left Lin Yan bewildered.

The atmosphere became exceedingly strained.

As the red-clad woman held the Life-taking Mysterious Lamp up, its flames illuminated the surrounding hundred meters, clearing the area.

"How audacious!"

The Left Judge stepped forward aggressively and bellowed angrily.

Yet as soon as he had spoken, the red-clad woman merely glanced at him.

The Left Judge’s body suddenly rigidified and shattered into a pile of ceramic pieces.

Boom!!!

The mysterious lamp ascended, blazing like the morning sun!

Where its light reached, all melted away, dissipating like smoke and clouds!

The golden staff, still held in the hands of the red clothed apparition, was thrown backward, transforming into a golden bridge.

She looked at Lin Yan again and smiled faintly.

Just then a fierce wind rose, and the waves on the river surged violently.

Lin Yan was swept up by the wind and landed on the golden bridge.

"In the presence of the Divine King, do you think you can just take people away as you please?"

The Right Judge suddenly shouted in anger.

But before his words were finished.

The woman in red glanced at him.

The next moment, the Right Judge also burst apart, turning into a pile of ceramic pieces.

Boom!!!

Above the throne, the bound Prison Suppressing God King’s eyes blazed with blue flames, violently seething with anger.

Chains crashed down noisily!

Just then, the apparition of the red-dressed woman abruptly dispersed.

Turning into a vast expanse of red mist!

The lamp above, blazing like the fierce sun, turned blood red at that moment!

The area was filled with blood-red mist, obscuring everything and leaving the scene indiscernible!

As Lin Yan landed on the golden bridge, he found it carrying him towards the stone gate.

Boom!

On the way, mighty Yin Soldier Commanders came to block his path!

As well as the flag bearers of five hundred guards, thousand Prison Guard Generals, and even the presence of a three thousand flag Middle Nether Prison General, all intent on stopping Lin Yan!

But the rolling red mist concealed everything, obscuring perception.

In the next moment, Lin Yan furrowed his brow, sensing arrows raining down from all directions.

Those were the archers among the Yin soldiers.

Each arrow was crafted from condensed Yin energy.

Boom!!!

Lin Yan used the Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade to fend off a batch of arrows.

Yet, he heard the sounds of battle to his left.

The position of the archers was suddenly in disarray.

It seemed that due to the enveloping red mist and obscured scene, one troop of Yin soldiers mishandled their coordination, shattering their formation.

"Pei Xiong?"

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed as he called out lowly.

The Yin soldiers were simple minded, but upon becoming Prison Guard Generals, they had primary souls, and their strength greatly increased.

A figure then followed the sounds and closed in about a hundred meters.

It turned out to be Pei Xiong, now transformed into a Prison Guard General.

"Let’s go!"

Pei Xiong’s face was ashen, and his eyes glowed with a ghostly depth as he spoke, "My primary soul has just settled, and handling the Yin soldiers was inevitably sloppy. Under the cover of the rolling red mist, it was understandable to disperse the archers’ camp. Also, having previously struck you with a blade, I’ve cleared any suspicion, and even if I’m punished, it won’t be severe..."

"What will you do?" Lin Yan asked grimly.

"You know, there’s no going back," Pei Xiong responded.

"..." Lin Yan’s expression turned complex, his gaze slightly dimming.

"I’m already dead, and even if I returned, to the Human Clan, I would only be a special Evil Spirit, unable to return to the city or enter the Pure Land."

Pei Xiong shook his head and sighed, "Moreover, without remaining in the Netherworld, this Yin soldier of mine would surely go rogue if left in the bizarre night for long, only adding calamity to the Human Clan!"

"A man dies like a flame goes out, soul dissipates and spirit scatters, being a Yin soldier destined for the Netherworld, I have found a place of rest."

"Having seized the foremost of a hundred souls and awakened my former self, I must thank you for those three sticks of incense you once offered for me!"

"Hurry, while the red mist hides the scene, I will take my subordinate Yin soldiers to scatter the formations of other camps, covering your retreat!"

As his voice fell, he turned and left, disappearing from Lin Yan’s sight in the blink of an eye.

The golden bridge extended, leading toward the stone gate exit.

The red lantern above, like a blood-red proud sun.

The red mist lingered, pervading everything, seemingly omnipresent.

The massive swinging chains produced a dull echoing sound, reverberating incessantly, thunderous like rumbling.

The entire Netherworld was shaken, as if overturning heavens and earth.

In a daze, the thousands of mountain ranges deep within the Netherworld seemed to tremble, unleashing endless roars and howls.

Boom!!!

Lin Yan felt utterly empty!

The golden bridge behind him had been shattered by chains!

His entire body was thrown into the air.

In a moment of breathing, a golden light dazzled from Lin Yan’s body, as the crucial time had passed, he immediately activated his Golden Body Divine Power.

He had barely landed when over a hundred Yin Soldiers had already rushed in.

Lin Yan, with his Treasure Blade of Night, immediately went to meet them.

His cultivation had greatly progressed, nearly reaching the end of the Qi Refining Realm.

Under the blessing of the Demon Suppression Divine Power, he was able to exterminate a thousand-banner Prison Guard General. Dealing with these hundred-plus Yin Soldiers was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, without any hindrance.

But he knew in his heart that he must not linger in battle now.

Otherwise, once trapped by the encirclement, it would be difficult to escape.

Moreover, among these Yin Soldiers, there were existences stronger than the Prison Guard General.

He fought while retreating, only to find that behind him appeared a Middle Nether Prison General adorned with the phantom of three thousand banners.

"This is bad!"

Lin Yan’s heart sank.

But in the skies above, a bloody sun suddenly plummeted down.

The Middle Nether Prison General, who was about to attack with his long spear, caught under the blazing flames of the bloody sun, ignited crimson flames.

He screamed in agony, discarded his spear, and leapt into the distance, falling into the great river.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan felt a chill wind strike from behind.

He turned his head to look, only to see red mist condensing, like a red cloud settling behind him.

It felt like a gentle hand was softly pushing him.

In a moment, Lin Yan felt the universe shift, the world turned upside down.

When he was somewhat dazed, and his feet finally landed, he found himself already outside of the Netherworld.

Behind him was the Netherworld’s Stone Gate.

He had returned to the human world.

This was the bottom of the Dayin River, where the cave was located.

He turned to look, only seeing the inner part of the stone gate continuously shaking.

Before he could react, he felt many lights striking him from behind, falling on the stone gate along each side of his cheeks.

Those were countless Spirit Talismans!

With a thunderous roar!

The stone gate, now stuck with Spirit Talismans, alternated between reality and illusion, frequently transforming, but gradually becoming more ethereal.

And then the Netherworld’s gate slowly closed.

"Wu Chang, go ahead and seal the gate!"

A deep voice came from behind.

"..."

Lin Yan’s expression was solemn, he swiftly sheathed his blade and strode forward.

He held the Treasure Blade of Night in his left hand, blade and sheath together, crosswise in front of the gate to block it from closing.

"Wu Chang! What are you doing?"

The voice from behind grew closer.

Then a burly palm reached over from his side.

This palm, trying to press against the stone gate to forcefully close it.

"No!"

Lin Yan, expressionless, his body shining brightly with golden light, grabbed the other’s wrist with his free hand.

Boom!!!

The True Qi from both parties burst forth immediately!

Neither could overpower the other!

"Great City Guard?"

Lin Yan turned his head to look at his companion, his face cold.

"If the Netherworld’s gate remains open, it poses a constant threat to High Willow City; it’s like a sword hanging over our heads!"

The voice of the Great City Guard was extremely heavy as he said, "Closing the stone gate is the only way to sheath this sword!"

"Wait a bit longer!"

Lin Yan’s tone was grave.

"We cannot wait!"

The Great City Guard said sternly, "You are marked by an ominous sign, with the greatest threat coming from that red-clothed evil spirit! Today, using this opportunity to seal her in the Netherworld would solve the ominous threat upon you and kill two birds with one stone!"

"She saved my life!"

"That’s an evil spirit!"

"Yet this evil spirit entered the Netherworld to save me!"

"Foolish! Being haunted by an evil spirit is no good deed!"

"That’s my affair!"

Lin Yan said sternly, "Since I started my cultivation, I’ve eliminated evil and foes, slain demons and exterminated evil spirits, standing in the present world, upright and with a clear conscience! Her coming to save me, only to be sealed in the Netherworld, how could that be a good deed?"

He exerted his strength to fling, his True Qi exploding, and managed to throw the Great City Guard backward.

The Great City Guard’s face fluctuated uncertainly, but then he heard Lin Yan’s voice.

"What of evil spirits? What of the people?"

"If the people are evil, I shall slay them!"

"If a demon shows kindness, I shall treat it kindly!"

Following Lin Yan’s voice.

The Great City Guard then coldly said, "These Spirit Talismans come from the Wutong Temple, consecrated by Mr. Lu, sealing this gate is unstoppable! Your blade will break..."

His voice had barely dropped when Lin Yan swept his hand.

Eighteen Spirit Talismans stuck on the gate.

In that instant, he swept over half of them away with one hand.

"..."

The Great City Guard’s eyes narrowed, immediately understanding.

The sealing of the gate by the Spirit Talismans should have been insurmountable.

But Mr. Lu had left Qi Mechanism of Wu Chang in it.

From the beginning, Mr. Lu had left the decision to seal the gate to Wu Chang!

"Come out!"

Lin Yan, through a crack in the stone gate, gathering his True Qi, yelled, "Come towards this side!"

Behind the stone gate, the red mist filled the sky.

In an instant, as if a breeze swept through, a small patch of red mist formed the figure of a woman.

She looked at Lin Yan and smiled sweetly.
