Chapter 143 Helping the evildoer
As soon as Yan Chixia landed, the fog in the yard suddenly became thicker, the wind was howling, and the dark shadows around him quickly approached him.

“Black Mountain Old Demon, you are so courageous that you dare to cause chaos in the world of the living!”

Yan Chixia shouted loudly with a hint of anger in his voice, and drew the sword in his hand. The sword light was as fast as lightning, and instantly chopped those black shadows into pieces.

“Yan Chixia, do you think you can escape my pursuit by fleeing back to the mortal world?”

A deep laugh was heard in the mist, and the voice of the Black Mountain Demon sounded faintly: “Today is the day you die!”

Before he finished his words, a huge ghost claw suddenly stretched out from the mist, carrying a sinister aura, and rushed towards Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia dodged the attack with a flash, and swung the sword in his hand, cutting off the ghost claw with sword energy.

However, the broken ghost claw did not dissipate, but instead turned into countless tiny ghost shadows, swooping towards Yan Chixia like locusts.

Yan Chixia frowned, knowing that these ghosts were difficult to deal with, and immediately took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, bit his fingertips to draw a talisman, and chanted a spell: “The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law!”

boom!
The talisman burned instantly, turning into a sea of ​​fire, burning the ghosts to ashes.

“I want to see how long you can hold on by using your blood and essence to borrow magic!”

The Black Mountain Demon snorted coldly, and countless figures of ghost soldiers gradually appeared in the fog, holding swords and guns, and full of murderous intent.

Yan Chixia frowned and didn’t answer. He was puzzled and wondered, “What is the City God of Guobei Town thinking? Isn’t he afraid of being held accountable by the underworld for letting the Black Mountain Old Demon do so recklessly?”

Seeing the fog getting thicker and thicker, with signs of spreading outward, Yan Chixia was worried that it would implicate the people in the city, so he immediately flew into the air, landed on the roof, and ran out of the city, shouting, “Black Mountain Old Monster, follow me if you dare!”

There was such a big noise outside that Ning Caichen was also awakened from his deep sleep. Hearing the howling wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves outside, his heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly got up and found that Shi Potian was already standing by the window, looking at the situation outside with a serious expression.

“My benefactor, what happened outside?” Ning Caichen quickly walked to Shi Potian and asked in a low voice.

Shi Potian said in a deep voice: “Brother Yan is worried that innocent people will be implicated, so he has already led him out of the city. You hide here, and don’t go out. I will go and lend a helping hand to Brother Yan!”

Although Ning Caichen was anxious, he also knew that he was powerless and would only drag them down if he went out, so he could only nod and say, “Okay, benefactor, be careful!”

Shi Potian said no more and carefully observed the situation outside. He found that the gloomy wind in the yard had stopped and the thick fog was gradually dissipating. It was obvious that the Black Mountain Old Demon had chased Yan Chixia away.

Shi Potian pushed the door open and jumped onto the roof, looking in the direction where Yan Chixia left.

The streets of Guobei Town were deserted, with only the fallen leaves blown by the cold wind rolling on the stone roads, making a rustling sound.

The whole town seemed to be shrouded in an invisible fear. Not even the barking of dogs could be heard. Only the occasional sound of rapid breathing indicated that the townspeople were hiding in their houses and trembling.

Shi Potian stepped down and flew over the roof like a swallow, rushing out of the town.

The night wind howled, making his robe rustle, but his gaze remained firm, staring straight ahead.

Soon, Shi Potian arrived at the wasteland outside the town.

From afar, one could see the forest filled with gloomy air and rolling fog. Evil ghosts and evil soldiers could be vaguely seen shuttling through it, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were endless.

Yan Chixia’s body was as fast as lightning and his sword energy was as bright as a rainbow. He killed these ghost soldiers like weeds. However, the Black Mountain Old Demon was stationed in the City of the Dead. The ghost soldiers under his command were even more numerous than weeds, and they could not be killed at all.

However, his face was pale due to the continuous use of the Qiankun Borrowing Technique, and it was obvious that he could not hold on for too long.

“Prajnaparamita!”

Yan Chixia also knew this, and did not try to be brave. He chanted the spell, and the sword behind him suddenly flew out, emitting a dazzling light, and turned into a huge sword shadow, slashing forward. With a “boom” sound, countless ghosts and evil spirits disappeared like mist under the sun, and a passage was cleared in an instant.

Yan Chixia took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and fled into the depths of the wilderness.

The Black Mountain Demon watched Yan Chixia escape coldly but did not try to stop him.

“What on earth is this old demon planning?”

Yan Chixia was puzzled, but the current situation was the best for him, so he immediately quickened his pace.

No matter how powerful the Black Mountain Demon is, he can only rule a certain area. As long as he escapes, he will be safe.

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front, blocking the way.

Yan Chixia was not surprised to see an ambush blocking his way and was about to take action, but when he saw the face of the person coming, his heart sank.

The man was wearing an official robe and holding a tablet in his hand. He was followed by civil and military judges, as well as ghost officials. It was none other than the City God of Guobei Town.

The City God shouted sternly: “Yan Chixia, you have trespassed into the underworld and disturbed the order of yin and yang. I have been ordered to arrest you!”

Yan Chixia laughed in anger: “What a City God! As a local Yin God, you are worshipped by the people and should protect the local peace. However, you colluded with the evil spirit like the Black Mountain Old Demon. You are really unworthy of being a god! Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the underworld?”

The City God snorted coldly, “How can you interfere with my actions? You’d better surrender as soon as possible to avoid physical pain!”

Yan Chixia laughed wildly and shouted, “I have killed many corrupt officials in the world of the living over the years, but this is the first time I have encountered one from the underworld. I think this is a new experience!”

When the last four words were spoken, he had already rushed forward, his sword flashing like lightning, killing towards the City God.

“You bold mortal, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the City God! You are courting death!” Judge Wu roared and swung his sword to stop him.

Yan Chixia didn’t even look at him. He just turned his body, grabbed a demon-subduing nail from his waist, and stabbed it into Judge Wu. The sword in his hand was still pointing directly at the City God’s throat.

Judge Wu is called a judge, but in fact he is just an evil ghost who was spotted by the City God and recruited under his command. Compared with ordinary evil ghosts, he can only enjoy some incense from mortals and is slightly stronger.

Yan Chixia’s demon-subduing nail is a Buddhist magic weapon. With one piercing strike, it directly killed Judge Wu and made him lose his soul.

The City God did not expect Yan Chixia to be so ferocious, but he was shocked but not panicked. He waved the tablet in his hand and a golden light scattered, turning into a barrier to block in front of him.

The sword light slashed on the barrier, making a dull sound. Yan Chixia was knocked back several steps and his face became even paler.

“Yan Chixia, you are already at the end of your strength, why bother to struggle in vain…”

Before the City God could finish his words, Yan Chixia rushed forward again.

As the god of the underworld, the City God has the responsibility to protect the peace of an area and can also mobilize the power of an area, but the City God of Guobei Town used this power to aid and abet the evil.

Yan Chixia’s eyes were wide open with anger and he was so angry that he bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the sword.

In an instant.

The sword shone brightly, and its power was several times stronger than before.
