Previously, he was ignorant and fearless, wanting to challenge Li Yao.
Looking back now, his behavior at the time was so ridiculous.
Moreover, he also discovered that when Li Yao fought him, he probably only used less than 10% of his strength.
From this perspective, Li Yao's strength is truly terrifying.
In his eyes, it was simply unimaginable.
"Brother Li is really amazing!"
An unusual glint appeared in Nie Xiaoqian's eyes.
Only now did she understand why Li Yao dared to challenge the Tree Demon Granny and the Black Mountain Demon.
It turns out that Li Yao is simply a god descended to earth!
"I really can't understand you anymore!"
Xiao Bai stared blankly at Li Yao's retreating figure, somewhat mesmerized.
It's truly hard to imagine just how much strength Li Yao is still hiding.
After a shower of stones, the sky and earth suddenly darkened and fell into darkness.
At this moment, gusts of cold wind swept in all directions, and countless will-o'-the-wisps could be seen drifting eerily in the darkness.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the heavy footsteps drew ever closer, the entire earth seemed to tremble.
The Black Mountain Demon's body had completely changed, becoming extremely ferocious and terrifying.
His body was covered in countless swaying skulls and countless arms waving in the air, which was terrifying.
The next moment, these arms suddenly lengthened like springs and reached out to grab Li Yao.
"careful!"
Yan Chixia, Nie Xiaoqian, and Xiaobai all called out in unison.
However, they soon realized that their worries were unnecessary.
A vast amount of true essence surged from Li Yao's body, almost tangible.
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, turning into a vortex and trembling violently.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dark clouds rolled in—a truly magnificent sight.
"Go to hell, you nigger!"
Li Yao's expression hardened, and he pointed his gun at the sky.
Countless crimson rays of light emanated from his enormous body, continuously flashing and expanding outwards to form a dazzling, massive halo, receiving the power of heaven and earth.
Crackle...
Strands of crimson lightning flashed continuously from the enormous halo, a truly terrifying sight.
boom!
A loud bang.
A massive pillar of crimson lightning descended from the sky and struck the Black Mountain Demon directly.
To the astonishment of the Black Mountain Demon, his massive body was instantly cleaved into pieces.
Chapter 424 The Ten Demon Kings
"The Black Mountain Demon is dead! The Black Mountain Demon is finally dead!"
Nie Xiaoqian cheered happily.
And those female ghosts who had already been exorcised by Li Yao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped up excitedly.
While Li Yao was fighting the Black Mountain Demon, they took advantage of the chaos to hide.
Only after the Black Mountain Demon was killed by Li Yao's crimson lightning did they dare to show themselves.
Whether it's the Tree Demon Granny or the Black Mountain Demon, they are both sources of fear in their hearts.
Now that both of these old demons have been killed by Li Yao, they are naturally overjoyed.
Having dealt with the Black Mountain Demon, Li Yao moved swiftly, and his towering figure instantly returned to its original size.
Then, he glanced at the ground and saw a city seal.
He reached out and grabbed at the air, and a powerful suction force pulled the city seal into his hand.
This large seal is bronze in color, with a ferocious beast with a human face and a beast body carved on the front. All four sides are covered with various ancient and mysterious runes, and the bottom is engraved with the four large characters 'Seal of the City of the Wrongfully Dead'.
This is no ordinary seal.
Besides symbolizing the power to govern the City of the Unjustly Dead, it also possesses the supernatural powers of a magical artifact.
Previously, the Black Mountain Demon was able to bring the City of the Wrongfully Dead from the underworld to the human world through this city seal.
Li Yao immediately copied the city seal and disassembled it.
Divine Soul +999!
Luck Points +999!
Soul of the City of the Wrongfully Dead *1!
Unexpectedly, this city seal actually contains a large amount of divine soul and luck points.
That Black Mountain Demon is really something!
Then, Li Yao glanced at the ground and collected the attribute orb dropped by the Black Mountain Demon.
I didn't expect that the Black Mountain Demon would drop so many attributes!
It seems that he had underestimated the true strength of the Black Mountain Demon.
The combat power in this world of A Chinese Ghost Story is not as low as he imagined.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense!
After all, occupying the City of the Wrongfully Dead and controlling the Underworld is not something that ordinary demons can do.
Of course, it wasn't something that a mere Black Mountain Demon could accomplish.
There are certainly even more powerful demons hiding in the underworld now.
"Xiaoqing, how did you get captured by the Black Mountain Demon?"
Nie Xiaoqian finally had the opportunity to ask Xiaoqing and the others about the doubts that had been weighing on her mind.
Xiaoqing and the other female ghosts recounted their experiences in a flurry of chatter.
Just as Li Yao had guessed, after they were saved by Li Yao, they returned to the underworld. Unexpectedly, the underworld was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ten Kings of Hell.
The underworld is in complete chaos these days.
According to the accounts of Xiaoqing and several other female ghosts, Li Yao learned that the Ten Courts of the Underworld had been occupied by ten demon kings.
The Black Mountain Demon was one of the ten demon kings.
The Black Mountain Demon occupies the sixth hall of the underworld.
The Sixth Court of the Underworld is the territory of King Yama Biancheng, and the City of the Wrongfully Dead falls under King Yama's jurisdiction.
(Note: The author previously mistakenly wrote that the City of the Wrongfully Dead was the territory of the Fifth King of Hell. This is a correction, and the previous text has been revised.)
That's why the Black Mountain Demon has the city seal of the City of the Wrongfully Dead.
Although Xiaoqing and the other female ghosts knew that there were ten demon kings in the underworld, they knew nothing about the specifics of the other nine demon kings, except for the Black Mountain Demon.
"Brother Li, now that the Black Mountain Demon is dead, what should we do next?"
Yan Chixia put away the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, which he hadn't had a chance to use to kill the enemy, and asked a question.
"Break into the underworld!"
Li Yao answered without hesitation.
"Enter the underworld?"
Yan Chixia exclaimed in surprise and quickly shook his head, saying, "Brother Li, didn't you hear what these young ladies said? There are still nine demon kings in the underworld. One Black Mountain Demon is already so difficult to deal with, let alone nine more. This is too risky."
"Yes, Brother Li, although the Black Mountain Demon is no match for you, if the nine demon kings join forces at the same time, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight them all!"
Nie Xiaoqian advised with a worried expression.
“I know all of this, but if we don’t completely eradicate these demon kings and restore order to the underworld, I’m afraid the human world will never be at peace.”
"I suspect that the current chaos and rampant demons may very well originate from the underworld."
"Only by thoroughly eliminating the demon kings in the underworld can peace be restored to both the underworld and the human world."
"Furthermore, Miss Xiaoqian, have you ever considered that if the demon king who has taken over the underworld is not eliminated, no matter how much I try to help you pass on, you will have no chance of being reincarnated?"
Li Yao glanced at Xiao Qing and the other female ghosts, then said to Nie Xiaoqian.
"But I don't want Brother Li to risk his life for me... for us!"
Nie Xiaoqian said in a low voice.
She also knew that several demon kings in the underworld had controlled the six realms of reincarnation, making it impossible for most ghosts in the underworld to be reincarnated.
If there is no reincarnation, then one can only remain a ghost forever.
"Don't even mention a few demon kings, even if the Ten Kings of Hell joined forces, I could wipe out the Underworld!"
Li Yao smiled gently.
He wasn't exaggerating.
He hasn't used all his methods yet.
Besides his own strength, he also keeps a terrifyingly powerful spirit beast battle group in his space.
Besides his spirit beast battle group, he also collected all sorts of incredibly powerful magical artifacts.
