Chapter 237: Exterminating Yaoguai

Luo Seng saw that the Liu Daoist fighting the Chicken Ji Xianren had the upper hand, the Lin Daoist fighting the yaoguai king single-handedly was also handling it with ease, and although the number of armored soldiers on the battlefield below was far inferior to those yaoguai soldiers and generals, with the help of the brave heroes he brought, they would certainly be able to win. The only one difficult to win against was the fox circling with General Rhino.

Thus, without hesitation, he inserted himself into the battlefield, one man and one horse, heading straight for General Rhino.

The three-tailed fox, as big as a mountain tiger, stepped on the nearly vertical wall and saw the martial artist galloping over. Its eyeballs rolled, and it immediately exhaled a mouthful of black smoke and cold air toward General Rhino.

At the same time, its four feet exerted force, and it lunged forward, stepping on General Rhino's back and biting down.

"Ow!"

General Rhino roared, his head obscured by the black smoke, but he still used this to identify the fox's direction, turning around and hacking out with an axe.

The fox immediately leaped back onto the cliff above. A loud 'Boom—' was heard as the axe landed just a short distance beneath its feet. Seeing cracks instantly appear on the cliff face and stones crumble, it leaped again, riding the wind to easily depart from this dangerous place.

By this time, the martial artist had already arrived behind General Rhino.

The sound of hoofbeats came and went in a hurry.

The martial artist on horseback crossed paths with the giant rhinoceros instantly; in that moment, a long spear had already been thrust into General Rhino's waist.

Another earth-shattering cry of pain!

The martial artist decisively flipped off his horse, letting the horse leave on its own. Before he even landed, he had already drawn his long saber, turned back, and charged toward General Rhino.

This yaoguai was not only born giant but also truly possessed infinite strength. Even a top-tier martial artist like Luo Seng would feel a headache and find it tricky, but unlike most people—such a troublesome opponent might make some feel timid and hesitant, but he never believed he would be weaker than anyone, so this only stimulated his greater strength, helping him get closer to breaking through the limits of the martial path.

What's more, today this yaoguai was neither wearing armor nor poisoned, so what was there to be afraid of?

Luo Seng did not even take any medicinal pills, suddenly leaping.

The martial artist's figure soared into the air, dodging the giant axe that General Rhino had turned to slash horizontally. The axe wind stirred the fine sand and gravel on the ground to stir into the distance, but it did not even touch the corner of the martial artist's clothes.

Luo Seng gripped his saber with both hands and slashed toward General Rhino's head.

If one asked what path a martial artist cultivated?

It was the path of the *jin* and the cart!

This path was not difficult, possessing only one mental resolve.

That was, under the heavens, no matter what yaoguai, demon, or ghost, regardless of what supernatural power or spell, there was nothing that could not be slashed by the saber or sword in his hand!

The blade's edge had not yet arrived, but the *gang* energy arrived first.

The black smoke shrouding the giant rhinoceros's head was easily cut open, revealing the giant rhinoceros's face and eyes that looked very small compared to his head. However, this *gang* energy was so sharp that General Rhino, having just recovered his vision, could not help but close his eyes involuntarily.

Then, fine wounds appeared on his eyelids.

The blade's edge arrived afterward.

A flash of blood!

General Rhino had already been blinded in his left eye.

"Ah!!"

General Rhino swung his axe with one hand and danced wildly with the other, but the martial artist leaped on his arms, as if walking on flat ground, seeking murderous intent in the extreme.

Just as they were fighting, he suddenly heard the sound of an incantation.

"Distant firmament, boundless thick earth; the mountain has power, can overcome dragon and tiger; mysterious yellow spiritual rhyme, all emerge at this time; transform into a mountain god, assist me!"

This incantation was faint, coming from overhead.

This place was originally a sinkhole in the mountains, and there were many stones on the ground; the people fighting had created even more stones. Hearing the incantation, these stones all trembled, rolled, and gathered together, then gradually piled up upward, soon gathering into two stone giants about as tall as General Rhino.

They were like two mountain gods.

Suddenly, two points of spiritual light like eyes lit up on the "heads" of the "mountain gods." It was as if they had come alive, and they began to walk with heavy steps.

The three people and one fox all looked toward these giants.

Numerous martial artists from the *jianghu* also looked over, secretly shocked, not knowing what kind of supernatural spell this was.

Lin Jue and the fox were even more sensitive; the instant they saw these stone giants, their gazes shifted all around, searching for the mouse yaoguai's figure.

Only a voice was heard drifting within the sinkhole:

"Long Wang!

"You fool!

"Do you know who was right and who was wrong now?"

The source of this voice seemed to be in the middle of the cliff.

Lin Jue immediately raised his head to look—

Ahead was a nearly vertical cliff face with many bumps. On a protruding stone line, there really stood a gray-robed figure only as tall as a person's knee, holding a wooden branch staff, watching the battlefield below with annoyance.

"It really is you."

Although Lin Jue was surprised, he was even more pleasantly surprised.

This mouse yaoguai had ability.

It seemed its current ability was even higher than before.

Back then, even if it gritted its teeth, it could only summon two stone giants, and one was big and one was small; now it could actually summon two at the same time.

It could be seen that after coming here, it must have eaten quite a few people.

And previously, when in Huizhou, because Lord Yi Li kept a tight watch, plus the Corpse Tiger King's strategy of lying low, these yaoguai did not dare to harm human lives casually, let alone eat people.

However, times had changed; that Daoist from back then was no longer the same, and these stone giants were no longer anything to him.

At this time, the Long Wang was still huddled in the pool beneath the waterfall, refusing to come out, using the waterfall's water vapor to resist the earth poison in his body. This was because although his cultivation was higher than the Chicken Ji Xianren and General Rhino, he was more afraid of the earth poison in the medicinal pills due to the mutual generation and restriction of the five elements.

Fighting until now, he was already covered in blood and filth.

Hearing this voice, he also immediately raised his head, trying hard to open his eyes.

"General Mouse?

"General Mouse has returned?

"It was this King who misunderstood you!"

The Long Wang let out a weak voice.

"Hmph! Although I am a mouse yaoguai, I have always been dedicated to serving others and never lie. Even when I once asked that Bear Daoist friend to help me take revenge, I never deceived him!" the mouse yaoguai in the middle of the cliff said. "These past few years, I have been running around, all to take revenge for my King. Since I once called you Great King for three years, I will now risk my life to help you once!"

After saying this, the small wooden branch in his hand pointed.

"Rumble..."

The two mountain stone giants turned around, one looking at Lin Jue and the other at Xiao Shimei, walking over with heavy steps and gradually accelerating by using the momentum.

Along the way, no matter if it was yaoguai soldiers and generals or bean soldiers and armored soldiers, none could block them in the slightest, only able to dodge to the side.

Lin Jue and Xiao Shimei were completely unafraid.

The two did not exchange eye contact, but chanted the incantation simultaneously:

"Distant firmament, boundless thick earth; the mountain has power, can overcome dragon and tiger; mysterious yellow spiritual rhyme, all emerge at this time; transform into a mountain god, assist me!"

"Rumble..."

The gravel on the ground trembled again.

Seeing this, the mouse yaoguai on the cliff immediately revealed a look of shock.

"What?"

Just now, Lin Jue's incantation was silent, and Xiao Shimei was far from it, the incantation sound was also very low, plus the battlefield was chaotic, so it naturally did not hear clearly and did not have time to "persuade the king to frown," but it was only until this moment that it knew what spell these two had used.

They saw the gravel on the ground rolling and gathering together again, gradually piling up upward, actually gathering into two stone giants about as tall as General Rhino, only one on the left and one on the right, coming from Lin Jue and Xiao Shimei respectively.

Although the two had high talent, they had not been practicing for long. The mouse yaoguai could summon two such tall stone giants at once, while they could only summon one each, but this way, they were exactly matched.

Two points of spiritual light also lit up on the heads of these two stone giants. Upon meeting the two stone giants summoned by the mouse yaoguai, it was as if they had found an opponent; they swung their arms and walked with heavy steps, crashing toward each other.

"You..."

The mouse yaoguai was shocked beyond measure.

Seeing that a shocking collision between stone giants was about to be staged below, and that they would decide the winner in such a pure and barbaric way, it expected that the scene would certainly be heart-shaking, but Lin Jue and Xiao Shimei were unwilling to give them this opportunity.

A wisp of spring breeze swept across the ground.

The mouse yaoguai's stone giant, which was about to collide with the stone giant summoned by Lin Jue, was immediately bathed in the clear breeze. Its entire body was originally composed of stones, and there were countless gaps between the stones, also carrying mud; these were the places where tenacious grass and trees grew, and for a time, grass stems and tree buds sprouted one after another, blooming into flowers.

"Bang!!"

The next instant, the two stone giants collided, swinging their arms and throwing punches at each other.

It was just that one stone giant had an imposing momentum like a rainbow, with endless strength, while the other stone giant was covered in many wild flowers, the magical power supporting it was rapidly consumed, and its strength was also rapidly weakening.

Within a few breaths, the latter fell into a disadvantage.

After another few breaths, before it could even be defeated, it shattered with a loud *bang* into a pile of gravel, actually disintegrating on the spot.

The battle between the two stone giants on the other side was even more intense. Both were similar in strength and size; although their movements were not agile, every collision was of earth-shattering power, splashing countless gravel and sparks. Everyone around, whether *jianghu* people or yaoguai soldiers and generals, subconsciously avoided them.

However, not long after, Xiao Shimei used a clash with the Chicken Ji Xianren to float in front of the stone giant.

The slender female Daoist, facing such a behemoth, was a truly vivid contrast, but she had no fear at all, instead finding an opportunity to fly upward.

*Bang bang bang! * She struck three palms in an instant!

Then, without lingering, she withdrew and continued to fight the Chicken Ji Xianren wholeheartedly.

And the stone giant summoned by her raised its stone arm again, smashing a fist into the opposite stone giant.

"Boom!"

The opposite stone giant shattered in response.

Many *jianghu* people could not believe that such two huge and terrifying stone giants were actually beaten into slag in an instant.

The mouse yaoguai on the stone wall was stunned again.

The next instant, it hurriedly used its wooden staff to support the ground, muttering:

"Distant firmament, boundless thick earth, the mountain has power, can overcome dragon and tiger, mysterious yellow..."

But before it could finish chanting, it stopped, not because Lin Jue persuaded it to frown, but because its peripheral vision caught a huge white shadow moving rapidly on the cliff, coming straight for it.

That was a giant white fox walking on walls.

The mouse yaoguai was already afraid of foxes, let alone such a big three-tailed fox; its heart immediately skipped a beat.

"Hiss!"

The mouse yaoguai jumped downward without hesitation.

However, seeing it do so, the fox also immediately adjusted its route downward, its gaze fixed on it.

Fuyao had only one thought in its heart—

This mouse had a blood feud with them!

The mouse yaoguai discovered in horror that after three years, this fox had actually grown to a point where it could not resist at all, and even the speed at which it ran on the cliff was faster than its own fall; the distance between the two was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the mouse yaoguai's terrified eyes, the fox's sharp, delicate face, its fur shaking with the wind, and its agile posture were all clearly visible, turning into a demon god of the mouse world, coming to claim its life.

Fortunately, it was not standing very high.

By the time it was about to be caught up by the fox, the ground was already close at hand.

They saw the fox open its mouth, exhaling cold air toward the mouse yaoguai; the mouse's entire body froze, and then it saw the fox stretch out its claws, clearly touching the mouse yaoguai, causing its figure to spin in the air, but it still did not manage to grab it.

*Puff! *

The mouse yaoguai burrowed directly into the ground.

The next instant, Fuyao landed on the ground.

Face-planting into the ground.

But there was no sign of discouragement on the fox's face; it was as if it had encountered an interesting puzzle, immediately getting up, searching all around on the ground, bowing its head to listen intently to the movement, and then running in one direction, following the mouse yaoguai that had burrowed underground.

The spell-casting in the sinkhole gradually became intense.

As for the remaining two stone giants, Lin Jue did not use them to deal with the Long Wang, because he knew that these stone giants were just toys to the Long Wang once they got close; Xiao Shimei also did not use them to deal with the Chicken Ji Xianren, as she also knew these stone giants had no effect on the agile Chicken Ji Xianren. However, since they had already been summoned and the magical power had been consumed, they naturally could not be wasted, so one helped clear the surrounding yaoguai soldiers and generals, and the other headed toward General Rhino on the cliff edge.

"General Mouse!

"General Mouse!

"Where are you?

"Oh-cluck-cluck..."

The Long Wang let out a sound like a cat and a pig, calling for General Mouse while frantically rubbing his eyes, rubbing away the stones that were plastering them shut.

Finally opening a slit, he took a look at the battlefield situation, impatient, and then opened his blood-filled maw again, exhaling toward Lin Jue.

Lin Jue's figure instantly dodged to the right.

This time, there was no black energy or thrall ghosts in his mouth, only the sound of wind.

It seemed a golden thread had instantly connected the distance between the Long Wang and himself, and because of his dodge, it passed behind him.

"Rumble!"

A loud noise came from behind.

Lin Jue glanced quickly and saw that it was the stone giant he had summoned; not knowing what had struck it, it exploded with a loud *bang*, turning into countless stones of all sizes, scattering and splashing all over the ground.

Withdrawing his gaze, he saw the Long Wang inhaling deeply again.

Accompanied by his sharp inhaling sound, that "golden thread" behind him flew back.

Inhaling was slower than exhaling; Lin Jue then saw clearly that it was not a golden thread but a bead, the very top-grade golden essence that the Long Wang had previously used to suppress the silver energy of his alchemy furnace, and also the one he was looking for.

The golden bead immediately returned to his mouth.

The Long Wang held the golden bead in his mouth, and the bead's light shone brightly, like a yaoguai's golden core, and also like an earth dragon playing with a bead.

"Shoo!"

An arrow flew from afar, and together with the twelve flying swords that had also flown up, they flew side-by-side toward the base of the waterfall, pointing straight at the Long Wang's eyes.

But he saw the Long Wang turn and lash his tail.

The arrow and flying swords were immediately knocked away, and the force was even faster than when they had come.

Lin Jue dodged in a panic and chanted in a panic, summoning the flying swords back.

The next instant, the earth dragon exhaled the golden bead again.

Lin Jue did not dare to slack off at all, immediately dodging.

This time, the Long Wang seemed to have predicted the position he would dodge to; even though he had already moved more than half a *zhang* away from his original spot, this rapidly flying golden bead still grazed past the edge of his face.

Lin Jue's expression was extremely solemn, his mind thinking rapidly.

This Long Wang seemed to be using this golden essence as a magic treasure?

But he had also seen this golden essence; it was not a magic treasure itself.

Then this should also be a method of controlling objects?

It was just that he didn't use incantations, and couldn't perform complex changes and manipulation like the object-controlling technique, only able to exhale and inhale; perhaps this was a supernatural power that this type of yaoguai understood itself?

Since that was the case, there must be magical power within it.

While thinking carefully, Lin Jue fell to the ground with a *bang*.

The golden bead was immediately inhaled back by the Long Wang, flying past two feet above his body.

This golden essence weighed only two *liang* in the hand, but hundreds of *jin* when thrown; who could withstand being hit by something so small and so fast?

Suddenly, he saw the Long Wang turn his head.

"Careful!"

Lin Jue shouted.

Xiao Shimei had already gained the upper hand and was about to take the Chicken Ji Xianren's head with her sword. Hearing this shout, she made a decisive decision and twisted her body to dodge.

A sharp whistle.

The golden bead narrowly grazed past her body.

Losing the opportunity, she saved her life.

The Chicken Ji Xianren also retreated repeatedly, having survived a disaster, his soul still not settled. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief for the Long Wang's help, he heard several sounds of breaking through the air.

Three arrows were shot over.

Two arrows grazed past his left side and top, but one shot straight toward his face, and it was faster and more urgent than the other two, making him hurriedly wave his horsetail whisk to block it.

Just as he wanted to raise the remaining magical power in his body to point light in the air and give those three arrow-shooting bean soldiers a taste of their own medicine, just as his hand reached out, he heard a violent whistling sound.

Turning his head to look, his eyes widened suddenly.

Eleven flying swords, like schools of fish in the sea, arranged neatly and rapidly, were shooting toward him.

"Cluck!"

The Chicken Ji Xianren dodged in a panic.

The Long Wang was inhaling again.

Lin Jue immediately stopped chanting, withdrew his energy, turned his head to face the Long Wang's open blood-filled maw, and while he was inhaling, exhaled a mouthful of spring breeze.

"Ow!"

This time, flowers even bloomed inside his mouth.

The Long Wang endured the severe pain, changed direction, and exhaled the golden bead once again.

Seeming to know that the martial artist in the distance had better movement techniques than Xiao Shimei, he directly skipped the martial artist and aimed at the stone giant instead.

With one strike, the second stone giant was also shattered.

When the golden bead was exhaled next, it had already re-aimed at Lin Jue, but Lin Jue only slightly turned to the side, while staring fixedly at the Long Wang's mouth, inhaling deeply.

A flash of golden light, and the spring breeze also emerged.

The spring breeze was truly gentle.

The golden bead, however, was unstoppable.

When the two sides made contact, it was as if nothing had happened; the golden bead moved forward through the spring breeze, still fierce.

It was just that silently and soundlessly, the magical power attached to the golden bead was slowly dissolving.

"Shoo!"

The golden bead grazed past Lin Jue; the force it brought was enough to make his skin feel as painful as a knife cut, and then it struck directly into the ground behind him, creating a deep pit, startling several *jianghu* martial artists.

"Hiss~~"

The Long Wang inhaled again, trying to inhale and play with the bead.

But this time, no matter how he inhaled, the golden bead would not come back.

"Eh?"

The Long Wang was immediately shocked.

Only the martial artist in the distance gathered the courage to step forward and check.

After the dust settled, a golden bead the size of a fingernail lay in the very center of the deep pit on the ground.

A circle of pure white roots grew at a speed visible to the naked eye; although they could not take root inside the golden bead, they quickly wrapped around the entire bead. And this golden bead seemed very hot; in the process, white smoke was hissed out from the roots, and a small, pure white pear blossom bloomed in the white smoke, then quickly withered.

This strange sight left the martial artists shocked beyond measure.

"Sure enough..."

A flash of "as expected" crossed Lin Jue's eyes.

This type of ability was essentially the same as the incantation control; there was a strand of magical power attached to the object. Since that was the case, it also had the same weakness as incantation control.

This magical power was easily broken.

It was just that perhaps the Long Wang's cultivation was high and his magical power pure, so it might not be burned away by spiritual fire, but it was afraid of this wisp of spring breeze.

"What other abilities do you have?"

Lin Jue held his sword and looked at the Long Wang beneath the waterfall.

The sun gradually rose to the mountain top.

The bottom of the sinkhole finally welcomed the morning light, shining down at an angle, lengthening the shadows of the many yaoguai, martial artists, and Daoists fighting on the battlefield.

These martial artists were truly brave, fighting with their lives, and with the twelve armored soldiers, they soon left behind corpses of yaoguai soldiers and generals in the sinkhole. The archers among the bean soldiers found time and had more leisure to go and support the three people fighting the three great yaoguai.

And the Long Wang was already at the end of his rope.

Lin Jue was neither anxious nor used any other spells, only using one move, "Flowers Bloom in an Huakai Qingke," a spell that even ancient books evaluated as "extremely powerful," which gave him a great return.

At the same time, he still had the leisure to observe his surroundings.

He saw the Chicken Ji Xianren leap into the air, briefly suspended, with his back to the morning sun, casting a huge shadow on the ground, while his hands continuously struck points in the air.

The scorching sun behind him seemed to have lent him some spiritual rhyme. Borrowing the light of the scorching sun, although his magical power was lacking, he still pointed out spots of light in the air one after another. The next instant, a series of bright lights shot toward the female Daoist holding a sword below.

The female Daoist could not reach the sky, so she could only push out fierce fire and *gang* wind to resist him, while dodging repeatedly.

Lin Jue said nothing, only waving his hand.

The largest piece of stone left behind after the stone giant was shattered previously immediately rolled over; although it jumped on the ground, it did not fly up, instead smashing heavily onto the Chicken Ji Xianren's shadow on the ground.

Archer Technique!

"Cluck!"

The Chicken Ji Xianren had no expectation at all, immediately falling down like an ordinary rooster shot by an arrow.

A flash of doubt crossed Xiao Shimei's eyes; she turned her head and took a quick look at her *shixiong*, then understood, immediately chasing after him with her sword.

The Chicken Ji Xianren wanted to retreat and parry again.

Lin Jue chanted again and reached out a finger.

Immobilization Spell!

This Chicken Ji Xianren's strength was stronger than ordinary martial artists; logically speaking, Lin Jue's immobilization spell should have had no effect on him. However, he was already at the end of his rope, having almost died under Xiao Shimei's sword several times. Lin Jue's immobilization spell was not practiced to perfection, but it still made him freeze for a moment.

Just that moment—

The long sword drew a cold light, slashing off his rooster head.

Only a giant rooster body remained, pacing around unsteadily in the sunlight, unconsciously waving the horsetail whisk in its hand, until with a *bang*, it fell to the ground.

Lin Jue looked to the other side, wanting to help Luo Seng, but only saw a rhinoceros yaoguai covered in wounds fall with a crash. Beside him was the martial artist, also with disheveled clothes and wounds on his body, stepping on his belly, standing on him, and using all his strength to thrust his long saber into his throat.

The Long Wang in front was still alive, but he didn't move much; at first glance, he looked like a poorly carved stone earth dragon, his whole body a mess.

Lin Jue knew that the outcome was decided.

The Long Wang's doomsday was today.

However, he still did not approach, only continuing to exhale.

At the same time, he chanted and summoned a stone giant.

"Dashan God, assist me in exterminating the yaoguai!"

The stone giant's head lit up with spiritual light, silent, only walking with heavy steps into the pool beneath the waterfall, aiming at the Long Wang, raising its stone arm high, and smashing down with a fist.

The Long Wang still wanted to resist, but he no longer had the strength.

"Boom!"

It truly seemed to have infinite giant strength.

However, this fist smashed onto the Long Wang's body, only making his body bounce, with no damage visible.

But that was fine—

The stone giant had many more fists waiting for him.

Lin Jue was extremely patient, chanting again to summon the flying swords; seven or eight flying swords formed a sword stream in the air, all shooting toward the Long Wang.

Slowly, the Long Wang did not move at all.

Until Luo Seng arrived with his saber.

"Dead?"

"Don't know."

"I'll do it!"

Lin Jue did not dare to get close to the Long Wang; he was a martial artist, with high martial arts, so he naturally dared.

He immediately walked toward the Long Wang, raising his long saber with both hands.

This blade had been passed down through generations, with countless souls lost beneath it and no telling how many demons and ghosts it had slain. Having just beheaded a great yaoguai, the bloodstains on the blade had not yet dried, and its malevolent and bloody aura was terrifyingly heavy.

But before the saber could hack down, Luo Seng's eyes froze, then he immediately changed his stance, leaping to the side, jumping more than a *zhang* away, and then jumping and dodging repeatedly.

Everything happened in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, the Long Wang, who had seemed dead, suddenly exerted force, opened his blood-filled maw, and rushed forward to take a bite; it truly had the posture of a crocodile pouncing on food.

"Bang!"

He bit into nothing.

The Long Wang did not stop at all; although his whole body was wounded, he was extremely weak, and his eyes could not open, he used his last bit of strength, following the small stream flowing out of the waterfall, frantically stepping and crawling forward.

"He wants to run!"

Lin Jue shouted.

Actually, there was no need to shout; the three immediately chased after him, using all their strength to block him.

Xiao Shimei approached the Long Wang while constantly slapping her palms on his body, slapping huge cracks into his nearly petrified body.

Luo Seng also chased after him and hacked repeatedly.

Numerous *jianghu* martial artists stepped aside one after another, and all used their strength to throw the sabers and swords in their hands toward this giant yaoguai.

The bean soldiers even used themselves to block the road, not caring if they were knocked flying.

Lin Jue overtook the Long Wang, aimed at the mountain cave ahead, and used the "Gather Stones into Generals" technique to summon stones, wanting to block the cave entrance with them.

In short, each showed their supernatural powers.

It was a morning.

Outside by the river, it was extremely calm; not a single boat could be seen on the river surface. Although some rumbling sounds were vaguely heard from the mountains, ultimately the bird calls in the trees were clearer, appearing extremely quiet and secluded.

Suddenly, a loud *bang*!

Countless birds were startled.

A giant Long rushed out from the mountain cave, bumping into many shattered stones, frantically crawling along the small stream.

Behind him followed three figures.

Alas, alas—

The Long type of animal was not good at long-distance running, and at this time, his life force was already exhausted, his oil lamp dried up. Plus, there were three Daoists chasing behind him; some pushed fire, some exhaled wind, and even the fox appeared from who knows where, exhaling cold air at him.

Although he had the power of a flash of light before death, and the stream water gave him directions, slowly he ran slower and slower, gradually unable to run.

Until he was less than fifty *zhang* from the riverbank, he completely collapsed, looking at the riverbank, and slowly closed his eyes.

His life force dissipated rapidly.

Even so, everyone still did not dare to approach easily.

The might of a yaoguai king was right here.

But he was indeed already dead.

The sun rose higher and higher.

In the pear blossom forest by the riverbank, traces of the banquet from the previous few days still remained, and some human skeletons were buried in the soil. The waves hitting the ancient ferry made a slight sound, the pear blossoms had not withered, the birds in the trees started calling again at some unknown time, and the small stream flowed gurglingly—a scene of quiet seclusion.

The stream water carried pear blossoms, and also a bit of red.

Yet a seven or eight *zhang* long Long lay in the small stream; his head had already been hacked off by the martial artist, and there were martial artists standing on his body, laboriously cutting the crocodile skin.

Occasionally, some small yaoguai in the river, having finished the banquet and not yet gone far, heard the commotion here and could not help but be curious, surfacing from the water to check.

But with just one look, they were all scared out of their souls.

They could not believe that this Long Wang had occupied this place for over a hundred years, the gods didn't care about him, and all the yaoguai in the southeast corner of Qin Zhou revered him as King. He was still holding a birthday banquet two days ago, and today he was actually exterminated.

At first glance, they thought immortals had descended.

Looking closely, they realized it was humans exterminating yaoguai.

Two-in-one, 7500 words, the goal is not to break the update so everyone can read happily; no update tonight.

Bowing and exposing chest. ===== CHAPTER 238 =====
