I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Chapter 449: Chapter 296: Immortal Divine Soul! [One more update!]

"Lin Yan is here to slay gods!"

A fierce shout echoed with the sound of thunder.

The blade’s light suddenly burst forth, like the rising sun emerging, then in an instant, it became the scorching midday sun.

This strike, with the swiftness of lightning, pierced through the phantom of Judge Wen!

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

In just a moment, Judge Wen’s figure shattered abruptly!

"Judge Wen!"

More than thirty nether enforcers, all enraged, unsheathed their blades and advanced.

But the figure previously known as the Left General, boldly raised his blade and slashed towards those enforcers.

"Do you think you are worthy of stopping my master?"

The Left General let out a sinister laugh.

Transformation Technique, suddenly dispersed.

It turned out to be a massive white ape, standing five fathoms tall with wings on its back and a long blade in hand.

The blade in its hand belonged to Judge Wu!

Previously, in a confrontation, my master used Mr. Lu’s mana to sever Judge Wu’s physical body.

Master also used Mr. Lu’s mana to shoot an arrow at the Left General, severely wounding him.

And with the Transformation Technique, he transformed the Left General into Lin Yan’s appearance, and sealed him using his chains.

To prevent the Left General from unlocking the shackles at any time to signal a warning... He then took the chain that originally belonged to Lin Lei from Judge Wu’s body and used it to bind the Left General and sealed his mouth and nose, silencing him.

At this moment, Lin Yan, posing as Judge Wu, finally struck fiercely, cutting down the unprepared Judge Wen on the spot!

"Even if it’s an ancient ghost god, holding a status far above that of Judge Wu, in the eyes of my master, it’s ultimately no more than a bodiless evil spirit!"

The Little White Ape, with joy brimming in its eyes, thought to itself, "Under the Demon Suppression Divine Power... A bodiless Judge Wen is much easier to kill than Judge Wu, who had a physical body!"

"Come in!"

However, at this moment, master’s voice sounded, filled with solemnity.

The Little White Ape turned to look and saw master’s expression solemn, he switched to holding the blade with his left hand, while his right hand beckoned to him.

Seeing this, Little White Ape’s heart chilled, and she immediately withdrew the Five Mountains Dragon Capture magic method, plunging into the hand of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan’s expression turned grim; he caught the Little White Ape with his right hand, while his left hand, grasping the blade the other way, fiercely decapitated the chained and bound Left General!

Evil Qi increased by twelve thousand three hundred forty-two!

This single strike garnered evil qi benefits far surpassing the Great Divine Venerable of Three Gods Valley!

This was the weight of a Netherworld ghost god!

Previously, Judge Wu had contributed twenty-one thousand six hundred points of evil qi!

However, with the pursuit of the Left General with that arrow, exerting full force, and the recent slash towards Judge Wen... the expenditure was immense!

But even so, combined with the evil qi from slaying the Left General, the remaining evil qi still reached over twenty-four thousand.

Yet, killing Judge Wen brought no gain in evil qi.

"Worthy of being an ancient ghost god!"

Lin Yan looked towards the depths of the Forbidden Land, slowly speaking, "Previously, just by looking at us through Judge Wu’s eyes, he was able to bind our qi mechanism, controlling our fate between life and death."

"Judge Wen possesses the truly profound ghost god techniques, indeed unfathomable!"

"Compared to that, the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader, who just succeeded the position of Judge Wu sixty years ago, is like the difference between clouds and mud compared to Judge Wen, who has been in the position for thousands of years."

"This blade strike, failing to cut you down, was within expectations."

Lin Yan said so, his gaze steady.

He revealed his six-fathom Golden Body, wielding a three-fathom long blade in hand.

And ahead, a phantom emerged.

It was Judge Wen’s ghostly figure from before.

He held the Book of Life and Death in one hand and a Judge’s brush in the other... as if he had just written a name on it.

"Actually, you have slain me," said Judge Wen, lifting his head with a sigh. "That last blade contained a mysterious force, capable of restraining the netherworld’s ghost gods. Caught off guard, even a ghost god like me would be thoroughly annihilated!"

As he lifted his head, he spoke in a deep tone, "If not for Marquis’ gift of Incense Divine Power before he departed, bestowing upon me the Immortal Soul Technique, today I truly might have fallen into the hands of a junior from the Human Clan like you."

He walked out of the Soul Cleansing Pool, his large red robe still on, his complexion still pale as paper.

But his eyes lost all disdain and instead held a trace of admiration.

"Not old yet so skilled; slaying Judge Wu, capturing the Left General alive, and using such a marvelous Transformation Technique, indeed surprising to me."

"But from your last assassination attempt, you’ve exhausted your full strength and depleted your True Qi."

"Relying solely on your physical Golden Body may be strong, but without True Qi to sustain it, it’s merely brute strength."

As his voice fell, he waved his hand and commanded, "Nether enforcers, hearken to my order."

"Present!"

The thirty nether enforcers responded in unison, forming a military formation, fiercely indomitable.

"The Netherworld’s iron laws dictate that any mortal who trespasses shall be deemed guilty of the utmost evil. Sever their body, peel their soul, torment through the eighteen hells until they are reduced to ash and smoke."

Judge Wen said indifferently, "I especially grant you incense divine power, capable of breaking his Golden Body and confining his soul!"

As his voice fell, golden light shone from the Book of Life and Death, suddenly rising and casting onto the thirty nether enforcers.

Immediately, the thirty nether enforcers, forming the military formation, boldly advanced.

Individually, none could match Lin Yan shoulder to shoulder.

But joined in formation, their might was formidable, not inferior to the divine power of the Left General!

If Lin Yan were at his peak, they might not be able to prevail.

But drained of True Qi and relying solely on physique, he certainly could not withstand them.

Besides, the special incense power was enough to allow these nether enforcers’ blades to cut through his Golden Body!

——

The gates of the Yin Yang Bureau hall were open.

The right general came wielding a blade, ferocious in the extreme.

Chains flew forth and directly clamped down on Lv Tang among the three, who held the Fierce Weapon Spear and displayed the greatest combat prowess.

Although Fu Zhong had reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and cultivated the Holy Land Secret Method, far surpassing ordinary martial artists, he still fell in the face of the might of a ghost god.

On the contrary, Lin Lei, with the aid of the Spirit Talisman, managed the Netherworld Whip, which made the right general quite wary.

"Hand over the prison whip to this old man,"

Mr. Lu said in a deep voice, "Although I am not a martial artist, I have cultivated my Primordial Spirit... With this prison whip, perhaps I might contest with this ghost god!"

Meanwhile, the East Mountain Prefecture Master just stood there.

His entire skeleton glowed with a restrained light, only his head and the cold look in his eyes were exposed.

This right general was also a ghost god. Before now, the East Mountain Prefecture Master had not the slightest confidence in defeating him.

But now, having inherited the power of the Divine Bone, he possessed the strength to suppress the right general.

Yet he only watched the battle, not taking action.

Because all his strength would be used to seal the Formation, closing the great doors to the Yin Yang Bureau.

"We are about to be defeated, and the lord still does not take action—truly a resolution of iron!"

Fu Zhong, looking at his severed left arm, cursed silently.

He asked himself, if he were in the position of the East Mountain Prefecture Master, he certainly would not be able to restrain himself and would strike down the formidable enemy first.

But this lord, for the sake of sealing the Forbidden Land, had a determination as firm as a rock!

"Back off!"

Mr. Lu took the long whip from Lin Lei, and his left hand sent out a wave of mana.

The mana, like fierce flames, lit up the grand hall of the Yin Yang Bureau.

In the light, the hall revealed densely packed blood-red runes.

These runes, drawn using the blood drained from an elderly martial artist of the Refining Essence Realm, were Haoyang divine talismans. Their masculine Qi could restrain evil spirits!

This chains general, who had come from the Netherworld and was a revered ghost god, not of the evil ilk, still felt discomfort against the Haoyang Divine Talisman’s masculine Qi.

----

"This junior is quite formidable,"

The literate Judge tried to strike off Lin Yan’s name and still could not make it take effect.

He sighed and looked towards Duke Murky Spirit in the Soul Cleansing Pool, saying indifferently, "I myself almost fell before; worthy indeed of Lord Qingling’s legacy."

Duke Murky Spirit fell silent, then spoke, "It seems that at this moment, you are confident you can seize him."

The literate Judge, holding the Book of Life and Death, slowly said, "I myself originated from the Human Clan, cultivated to the Refining God Realm, and I am deeply aware of the shortcomings of the Qi Refinement Realm... After the True Qi is exhausted, relying solely on the physique, one is no more than a martial artist of the Refining Essence Realm!"

"Among these thirty ghost soldiers, those who cultivated to the Refining Essence Realm in life, there are eight of them, which is sufficient."

"Even if this child has cultivated a Golden Body, stronger than ordinary martial artists, his body would not withstand the incense-powered divine strength on the ghost soldiers’ blades!"

"Even if we cannot capture him, we need only injure him."

"Thirty ghost soldiers, all granted the power of the incense’s divine spirit, swarming together, surely they won’t fail to land even a single slash, will they?"

"All it takes is a single cut, which will draw blood. Then with my brush and ink, I will write his name... Forget this junior, even the Martial Saints of yore could not escape this striking off!"

The literate Judge spoke thus, murmuring, "It is just a pity, I too was once part of the Human Clan, and now I must eradicate the most outstanding talent of the Human Clan in this age—a sentiment of regret indeed."

As the literate Judge’s voice faded, Duke Murky Spirit’s gaze became increasingly solemn.

And the literate Judge also sensed that something was amiss and immediately turned his head.

He saw that within the ranks, thirty ghost soldiers charged forward in a rush, wildly hacking with their blades.

But then the light of the blades surged up, like a blazing sun!

The thirty ghost soldiers, like snow melting away!

"What?"

The literate Judge’s complexion changed drastically.

He clearly sensed that Lin Yan’s True Qi had long been exhausted.

How had the opponent’s True Qi, in a split second, once again reached the peak of human capacity?

With just one slash, he had shattered the ranks formed by the thirty ghost soldiers?

Boom!

At that moment, as the thirty ghost soldiers completely scattered, an arrow among them stirred up a vast tide of dark qi, rolling forth tumultuously.

The literate Judge had no time to dodge and was pierced through the chest by the arrow.

In an instant, his figure, like a bubble’s shadow, scattered in a moment.

And in the depths of the Soul Cleansing Pool, the literate Judge’s apparition reappeared, his left hand holding the Book of Life and Death, his right hand wielding the Judge’s Quill.

The next moment, he began to write on the Book of Life and Death.

But before the strokes of the name could be written, a blood-colored blade light instantly arrived.

The Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

This blade was not aimed at the literate Judge, but struck directly onto the Judge’s Quill.

Crack!

This treasure of the Netherworld was broken in two in an instant!

The figure of the literate Judge failed to coalesce again and completely dispersed!

And the Book of Life and Death was tossed into the air, falling into the deepest part of the Forbidden Land.

"So-called immortal divine souls are but dependent on the Book of Life and Death. Without the Judge’s Quill, let’s see how you’ll be reborn,"

Lin Yan’s True Qi was once again exhausted after consecutive consumption, but he refilled it with Evil Qi, returning to his peak.

Stepping forward half a step, his blade pointed directly at Duke Murky Spirit within the Soul Cleansing Pool.

However, at this moment, Duke Murky Spirit sighed.

"Just twenty breaths short, and I would have been Uncle Xianyou,"

The moment His voice expired, His eyes suddenly burst forth with brilliance.

The Taiyin Mysterious Light!

Striking directly at the soul!
