That night, the fire lit up the sky red.
In the streets and alleys of Suian City, streaks of purgatory-like fires shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed like beacon smoke.
People in the city screamed, and the situation was extremely chaotic, with all kinds of exclamations, cries, lamentations, and screams mixed in. If you carefully observe the situation in the city, you will find that this turmoil is centered on the mansion of the prefect Sheng Family, and gradually spreads to the surrounding areas, and it is like a spark starting a prairie fire, affecting the entire overall situation.
The government officials and Inspection Bureau's troops were all caught off guard by this sudden situation, scurrying around like headless flies.
Among the ruins burned by the fire, the beams and bricks were charred and blackened, and pieces of debris were scattered all over the place. Smoke was still rising from the air. In the hill made of large piles of walls and rubble, a hand that had been twisted and shriveled by the fire slowly stretched out. The hand spread its five fingers and stretched in vain toward the sky.
The next second, the owner of the hand firmly grasped the five fingers stretched towards the sky, and raging flames erupted from the cracks in the rubble, causing heat waves to flow and tongues of fire to shoot out.
A pitch-black foot was lifted out of it, and it sank down with a "snap" sound. A few sparks floated out from the ashes of the earth. As soon as the foot exerted force, the surrounding rubble fragments were pushed away by a wave of air.
Boom!
In an instant, red flames soared into the sky, reflecting half of the night sky. The scalding hot wind swept across all directions, and with this momentum, mummy-like figures walked out step by step.
This figure was none other than Sheng Qingzhi. His figure was wrapped around his body by several snake-like flames. His entire body looked like a shriveled corpse. His thin face was like a skeleton, and two blue flames emerged from the empty eye sockets.
There seemed to be a different change from before. The skull-like face that had lost its human "mind" now had a subtle expression.
"Hello... Hello, He Ping!!!"
The skull face let out a roar, a hoarse voice that was difficult to distinguish, like a terrifying beast's roar.
"Where are you-"
Blue fire erupted from the broken body, the heat was blazing and the atmosphere was steaming. It was like there were layers of rays of light flying around the body, containing a heat that melted bones and flesh.
"Found it!"
"In that direction..."
Two voices sounded, and in an instant, the two figures barely touched the ground. In a flash, they flew past the stacked eaves, one after another, and flew in the direction of the burning man.
"Qing, Azure Yang... I'm afraid this is the 'Azure Yang Calamity' in <Three Yang Calamity>!!"
Chixinzi's green robe was flying, and his black boots stepped on the spider web hanging in the air. The fire below was boiling, the air flow was floating, and his sleeves and robe were also flying up.
"Good guy! Could it be that this guy absorbed the power from Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman and evolved the first calamity 'Azure Yang Calamity' in Three Yang Calamity?!"
He turned to the other side and looked at the figure hanging in the air with a silk thread hooked on the raised eaves, and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother He, just what you told me is right. There is something wrong with this guy. If you leave it alone, big problems will occur."
Just now, after breaking through "Soul-Thrall Sky-Covering Array", the battlefield immediately spread from Shengfu Residence to Suian City. Sheng Qingzhi, who had turned into a mummy, stared at He Ping and Chixinzi, chasing after them.
The two sides clashed again, and the war spread to the surrounding houses and streets. Sheng Qingzhi, who transformed into a fireman, was simply a disaster born from fire. Wherever he went, everything burned and burned.
As soon as they fought like this, the entire Suian City suffered disaster. Under the entanglement of the blazing sun, puppet magic, and evil magic, fires ignited everywhere like a fire dragon invading the city. After such a fight, no one knows how many residents in the city were burned to death.
He Ping and Chixinzi are such cunning and cunning people. In their hearts, they have no interest in continuing to fight with Sheng Qingzhi who has become like this. All they can think about is looking for opportunities to start an affair.
--The Sheng Qingzhi that became "Undead Abomination" may not be very strong, but the high temperature released from the whole body is too strong, and it is impossible to get close. Even if you try to restrain the opponent with silk thread or other methods, it will be burned, so it is extremely difficult to kill him.
In addition, this "Undead Abomination" has no special abilities and is not an extremely powerful monster.
When the situation reached this point, both He Ping and Chixinzi had the intention of retreating, until the sound came out of the hollow-like mouth on the burned-black skull face.
"... kill... kill you..."
The voice he spat out was filled with magnetic shock, and when he spoke, faint blue flames flashed through his mouth, nose, and orifices.
"He Ping, I'm going to kill you two."
The sound was like the hoarse cry of a wild animal. No one else could hear Han Hu's voice, but the two people present could hear it clearly, and at the same time, their expressions became strange.
"That's weird, isn't Undead Abomination an unconscious monster?"
"No, does this guy still have a will? Or... is he recovering himself?"
He Ping and Chixinzi both thought of a terrible possibility and immediately took action with all their strength. The overwhelming power suddenly came over, and He Qingzi's fiery figure also burst out with green flames and gleaming light, and crashed into the air.
Boom!
The forces of each other collided with each other. Sheng Qingzhi was completely outmatched. He was directly blasted back. He flew out instantly and hit a courtyard wall. With the bang and explosion, he didn't know how many houses were smashed through and how many homes were burned along the way.
"...Azure Yang Calamity."
He Ping got a lot of information about the Chongyang Palace from Chixinzi. Chongyang Palace is one of the three giants of the Daoist sect in the world. Together with the Wanqing Sect and Xuantian Temple, they are collectively called the Daoist sect Three Primordials.
Chongyang Palace masters <Three Yang Calamity> in the Dharma, ranking ninth. It is said that this Dharma was passed down from Old Ancestor Liehuo, the founder of the Chongyang Palace.
The disciples of Old Ancestor Liehuo and Chongyang Palace all believe that when the world was first created and all things were in chaos, everything in the primordial world originated from "fire". Fire is the origin of wisdom and the source of all things.
This group of people regard fire as a mysterious force, and Primordial Fire Seed and Undying Sacrificial Fire of the Chongyang Palace and Zhuhuang Hall are worshiped for thousands of years. They firmly believe that the ancient Sacrificial Fire contains the wisdom of the great road, supreme courage, and the secret of creation.
As for the Chongyang Palace's <Three Yang Calamity>, it is itself an article explaining the secret of Sacrificial Fire's entry into the Tao.
Chongyang Palace monks only need to introduce a trace of the power of Sacrificial Fire into their bodies to master advanced cultivation. If they take the specially refined 'Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman' and use Sacrificial Fire rituals to assist them, there will be a very low success rate for the user to directly enter the Tao and transform from a mortal into a Tao-level master.
However, the probability of success is too low. Even if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people take Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman, they may not be able to become a Daoist master, and if they fail, they will quickly burn to ashes.
"Sheng Qingzhi is 'Daoist Disciple'. The monks of the Chongyang Palace have spent great efforts to select a type of people with extraordinary talents. Such people have a great chance of becoming enlightened after taking Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman."
Chixinzi stretched out his hand and pointed at the mummy, whose whole body was shrouded in blue flames. There seemed to be a life force gestating among the green flames.
"The Sacrificial Fire in this person's body is transforming into Azure Yang Tribulation Force, giving him a trace of life again... <Three Yang Calamity> is divided into Azure Yang, Crimson Yang and White Yang has three powers. The ordinary Undead Abomination is just an immortal beast that is ignorant and has no sense or emotion. But some kind of mutation that we don't know about should have happened to this Sheng Qingzhi, and he is regaining his mind."
In an instant, his tone became serious.
"I believe you also understand that this guy can no longer be left alone!"
He Ping remained silent, but he also knew that Sheng Qingzhi, who had kept his mind intact, could not survive at all costs.
As long as Sheng Qingzhi survives, it is very likely that his and Chixinzi's plans will be exposed.
If anyone knows about it, it will be equivalent to offending the imperial court, Mud Sect and Chongyang Palace, the three major forces, and they will definitely be retaliated against in the future.
On the other hand, as long as Sheng Qingzhi is killed here, all secrets can be buried in the darkness.
"Then just do as your senior brother said."
He Ping spoke silently, he raised his right hand, and there were countless silk threads connected between the five fingers. Long spider-like threads were scattered in the air. He stretched out his hand and stroked them, and they suddenly straightened and tightened--
Zhengzheng.
As he plucked the strings between his fingers, he heard a loud crash somewhere below, a large earth wall exploded, and a paper-white sedan flew out, speeding up suddenly.
Bang! Paper Sedan bumped into it from behind. Before Sheng Qingzhi could turn around, he was knocked out again by the dazzling golden light on the sedan.
The fireman roared angrily, and green flames burned all over his body. He raised his neck, and suddenly breathed out a mouthful of flames, which split into two in the air and turned into two rays of fire, flying in the direction of He Ping and Sheng Qingzhi.
He Ping swung the cuff of his left hand and shot out countless blades of wind and energy, scattering flames in the air;
On the other side, Chixinzi was hit by the fire, and his figure split into two. He used the Garment Armor Evasion technique and escaped easily.
"Azure Yang Tribulation Force is pretty good. If he continues to let the Sacrificial Fire power of his physical strength evolve into Crimson Yang Tribulation, then we will be even more passive... Junior brother, don't hold back, get rid of him as soon as possible."
He sneered.
"Okay."
He Ping nodded in agreement.
"There is an inland river in the city nearby. Throwing him down can extinguish the fire on this guy. Let's try Eight Element Bone Locking Method to see if he can block his movements. If successful, it won't be difficult to kill him ten times..."
"That's it!"
Sheng Qingzhi moved his hands in a circle around the sky, and something seemed to be tightened in the sky.
Then, he shouted in a low voice, and countless golden lights suddenly flew over from all directions, like golden meteors, crashing together dozens of meters above his head.
This scene is very strange. Those golden lights swirled into a ball, and then whirled like a spinning wheel. More golden lights swirled in the same place a few times, whizzing into the afterimage of this golden wheel, and quickly combined to form a huge rosette.
"Severed Ghost Hand?"
He Ping opened his eyes wide and saw hundreds of Severed Ghost Hand spliced together to form a rosette composed of countless arms.
"Go for it!"
The huge rosette flew into the air, and hundreds of black gold palms opened, emitting a golden metallic luster.
This Puppet Lotus Throne shrouded the sky above the head of Sheng Qingzhi. In an instant, the golden light was blazing, and it even gave off a somewhat holy atmosphere!
This scene is like a golden Buddha lotus flying down from the sky to suppress the evil spirits in the hellfire.
"Undead Abomination" roared angrily, and he was about to try to resist, but the rosette bathed in a layer of golden light fell down, pressing hard on Sheng Qingzhi, whose body was covered with green flames.
