Chapter 144: Talisman Hall

The Demon Son of the Demon Capital is not a Demon Son chosen by the various sects and noble families themselves; this is a qualification obtained only after multiple trials in the Demon Capital, and it is strictly limited to a number of seven. The death of a Demon Son is a major event for the Demon Capital; the Demon Capital will certainly conduct a thorough investigation and apprehend the murderer, for the Demon Son is the face of the Demon Capital.

The face of the Demon Capital must not be desecrated. But now, the fifth Demon Son of the Demon Capital has been beaten to death by Meng Su. Although it was Yang Guangyin who exerted the power, the executor was Meng Su.

Yang Xiaoxiao is the successor to the Demon Capital cultivated by Yang Guangyin. Yang Guangyin has a special status and cannot appear in the Demon Realm, so many things are completed by Yang Xiaoxiao on his behalf. Now, Yang Xiaoxiao has indirectly died at the hands of his own subordinate. Yang Guangyin is enraged.

When a Supreme is enraged, corpses litter the field. Although this Supreme is merely a weakling among Supremes, a Supreme is still a Supreme. The power of a Supreme can move mountains and overturn seas; it has almost transcended the mortal coil.

"You piece of trash, how dare you do this! I am going to tear you into ten thousand pieces."

A silver hammer appeared in the hands of the roaring Yang Guangyin, and this hammer, like Yang Guangyin, emitted a dazzling white light. Clearly, Meng Su had already attracted Yang Guangyin's attention, especially Meng Su's Shift Demon Body, which made Yang Guangyin quite wary. If Meng Su were to seize another opportunity to use his own power to kill Yang Mei, Li Xiu, or Li Mo, the loss of face would be immense.

Meng Su was indeed thinking exactly that; even if he were to die, he would drag a few others down with him.

"Little beast, aren't you good at transferring attacks? Try transferring this."

Yang Guangyin roared, waved his hand, raised the hammer, and struck toward Meng Su.

Meng Su was wrapped in a dense Momentum, which had already interfered with space, causing the space around Meng Su to distort slightly. As Yang Guangyin's light hammer descended, a thin black ring wrapped around the light hammer; this was a collapse caused by space being unable to withstand the power of the light hammer.

Meng Su looked up at the light hammer, which felt like Mount Tai pressing down, and stopped resisting. This had already exceeded the limit of what he could withstand. Making a futile struggle was meaningless.

Meng Su closed his eyes.

Yang Guangyin struck toward Meng Su's head with the hammer. When it was one inch away from the top of Meng Su's head, Yang Guangyin stopped.

It was not that Yang Guangyin had stopped; it was that the entire Underground World had stopped. Someone had interfered with the time of this Underground World, and everyone in the Underground World was in a state of stillness.

A stone fragment that had been shattered by Yang Guangyin's power, which was originally falling from the ceiling, also stopped in mid-air at this moment.

A beautiful arc appeared in the sky, golden in color, emitting a dazzling golden light, as if someone had drawn a stroke in the sky with a brush.

This stroke came from afar and then landed on Yang Guangyin's body.

Yang Guangyin was sent flying over ten zhang by this stroke. He then fell to the ground and tumbled dozens of somersaults again.

As this stroke finished, the time in the underground resumed its flow, and everyone began to move again.

Meng Su looked suspiciously at the disheveled Yang Guangyin in the distance; at this moment, Yang Guangyin was covered in dust and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Who is plotting against me in the dark? If you have the ability, stand out and fight me one-on-one. What kind of hero hides their head and shows their tail?"

Yang Guangyin looked into the void and cursed in shame and anger.

"Why hide? I have always been here, it is just that your realm is too low to see me." As a familiar voice sounded, Meng Su turned his head to look at the void not far from him.

At the point where Meng Su's gaze fell, a tiny rune appeared in the void. The rune was golden and only the size of a fingernail, yet it was as vast as a world.

This rune shot out golden light and slowly squirmed.

This strange rune squirmed, split, and finally turned into a golden rune-person the size of a normal human. The rune-person's body was surrounded by a layer of golden light, and various runes flowed on the outside of the body.

After the rune-person finished condensing, he turned his head and glanced at Meng Su. Although the rune-person had no expression, Meng Su clearly felt that the rune-person had smiled at him, and Meng Su felt a trace of warmth.

After looking at Meng Su, the aura on the rune-person began to climb, climbing from having no Demon Power to False Demon, then rapidly climbing to True Demon, then Demon God, then Demon Saint, and then... Demon Venerable.

Early Demon Venerable, Mid Demon Venerable, Late Demon Venerable, and finally stopped at the threshold of Demon Venerable Peak.

This was a Supreme Late Stage rune-person.

A powerful aura surged through the entire Underground World. Those living dead hiding in coffins began to shiver and then stopped their commotion. Furthermore, this aura rushed out of the Underground World, forming a shockwave that headed toward Manghuang, causing all the living creatures in the entire Manghuang to curl up into a ball.

It then spread outward from Manghuang, spreading east to the depths of the Black Demon Sea. Those Asuras who were originally digging for the void at the edge of the Black Demon Sea felt the aura of a Supreme and were so frightened that they stopped their movements.

To the west, this aura rushed directly into the Demon Capital. All the noble families and sects in the Demon Capital stopped what they were doing and were stunned on the spot.

In the number one noble family of the Demon Capital, a young man in white looked toward the eastern Manghuang and sighed: "Two thousand years, you have finally returned."

Then this aura spread north, and countless Demons in the Monster Forest shivered, silent as cicadas in winter.

This aura was directly imposed on Yang Guangyin in the distance; Yang Guangyin was pressed to the ground by this aura and could not move.

This was a great insult. He was also a Supreme, yet he was suppressed by another Supreme. Yang Guangyin was unwilling; Yang Guangyin raised his head and let out a roar, and his body emitted a dazzling white light. This white light offset the pressure brought by the rune-person, and Yang Guangyin slowly stood up, facing the golden rune-person.

The rune-person did not even look at Yang Guangyin, as if he disdained to pay him any attention. He opened his arms toward the void.

As the rune-person opened his arms, the sky turned blood-red. The flesh and blood that had just been beaten into a blood mist by Yang Guangyin and dissipated in the air began to flow backward, and finally, it all flowed onto the rune-person. The rune-person began to grow flesh and blood.

In the time of one breath, the rune-person became flesh and blood, with a burly figure, a face full of thick whiskers, and eyes wide open.

The rune-person glanced at Meng Su beside him and nodded at Meng Su.

"Brother Yan..."

Meng Su cried out involuntarily. The person before him was Yan Chixia, or rather, the middle-aged Yan Chixia. But at this moment, Yan Chixia was already at the Supreme Late Stage. Are there Supremes in the Demon Realm? Had they not all disappeared?

Meng Su, who had called out "Brother Yan," suddenly felt it was inappropriate. Supremes had almost all been famous for thousands of years. In any case, he was his senior.

Meng Su bowed to Yan Chixia: "Senior..."

Yan Chixia laughed and waved his hand at Meng Su: "Do not call me Senior; I will always be your Brother Yan."

Yang Guangyin looked at the Yan Chixia before him, pondered for a moment, and shouted: "Are you the Talisman Hall? Are you not dead?"

Talisman Hall smiled slightly and said: "Talisman Hall is already dead; now I am called Yan Chixia. This name is quite good, imposing."

Talisman Hall, the Talisman King among the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Demon Capital, had disappeared for a thousand years, and the world thought the Talisman King had fallen, but now the Talisman King was standing alive before everyone.

Yang Guangyin fell into deep fear.

The prestige of the Talisman King was not in the Demon Realm, but in the Asura Realm.

The Talisman King guarded the entrance to the Asura Realm all year round. The number of Asuras killed by the Talisman King was more than ten million, and seven or eight Supremes of the Asura Realm had been killed by the Talisman King. In the Asura Realm, the name Talisman Hall could stop an infant from crying at night.
