Black-Clad Figure Blocks the Way

Su Che believed that a person's most basic need is survival, and their greatest fear is death.

That is why some people cultivate themselves, seeking Longevity Realm, immortality, and freedom.

The Old Qin before me, though he hadn't seen through the Life and Death, was already indifferent to Life and Death.

Do I look like a martial arts master?

Su Che looked at the night watchman in front of him.

"You're not a martial arts master."

Of course not.

Su Che smiled.

"I've always lived in the Yin-Yang Realm, but who knew that some plague-ridden Yuwen Rui colluded with some bald monk to blow up my house? But it just so happens that I'm traveling in this world, and I'm feeling hungry, so I'm looking for some blood food."

As he spoke, Young Third Young Master Su gently patted the night watchman's shoulder.

"I just happened to run into you."

"Master..."

Qin the Night Watchman cried out, "I'm used to doing hard and heavy work, I'm tough and can't handle the food!"

"I can see it, I can see it."

Su Che took out a silver coin from his sleeve.

"I originally wanted to eat you, but seeing how pathetic you are, I changed my mind."

Old Qin looked at the silver in Su Che's hand, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and excitement.

"You said..."

"I'm a kind person, I love doing good deeds. Tomorrow, as soon as the City God Temple opens, I'll go and write a yellow petition." Su Che looked at Old Qin: "I'll say that I've been attacked by evil spirits and ask the City God for help."

"Ah..."

Looking at the "evil spirit" before him, Old Qin thought, "Is this guy courting death?"

The City God is Orthodox God of the imperial court.

Throughout history, there have been instances of bestowing titles upon deities, but these divine positions were sometimes established and sometimes abolished. Many powerful Divine Path, while possessing great Divine Ability abilities, upon closer examination, came and went quickly.

Today you are the Holy Emperor who vanquishes demons and monsters.

Tomorrow, a new dynasty will rise, and amidst all the upheaval, if you have the skills, you might be able to find a new position and return to your post. But if you make a mistake, you won't even be able to protect your own temple.

But no matter how many dynasties change, there is one type of deity who remains firmly in the human world.

That's the City God.

They roam the underworld, hunt down demons and monsters, reward the good and punish the evil, and uphold righteousness.

In short, if a place has City God in charge, then there's only one thing to say.

Good will not prevail over evil.

What if the great demon really comes?

That's the situation in Guobei County and Shanyin County. Sorry, there's no City God.

Qin the Night Watchman couldn't help but wonder what this demon was thinking.

"I'm not asking you to write about me, I'm asking you to write about them."

Su Che pointed in the direction of the old house.

Qin the Night Watchman fell silent for a moment.

"Reluctant to part with it? You're quite sentimental."

Su Che pulled another silver coin from his sleeve. "I'll add some more for you."

As he spoke, Third Young Master Su gently patted Qin the Night Watchman on the shoulder.

"It's okay. If you can't bear to part with it, you can write me in too."

"I wouldn't dare."

"I dare. If you don't write it, I'll eat you alive, even if I have to hold back."

As Su Che spoke, a huge Dark Serpent appeared behind him, its scales and armor were dark, gleaming with silver moonlight, and its pair of green serpent eyes stared at Qin the Night Watchman, hissing and flicking its tongue.

"Ah... ah..."

The night watchman cried out in alarm.

Su Che smiled, Chiwen Ring released Mirage Qi, concealing his figure once more.

The City God of Tian'an County is probably having problems, but I wonder what's going on with the Imperial Demon Hunters.

Zhu Yi.

Su Che walked slowly along the desolate streets of Tian'an. All the lights in the houses had been extinguished, and the bright moon hung in the sky, leaving behind a rare tranquility.

There's no rush to exterminate that horde of Corpse Demon; it's a good time to play the long game and catch bigger fish.

For a long time, no prince or duke has ruled a province in the Great Liang Dynasty, and the rise of the Hungry Ghost Path will further affect the overall situation of the Central Land Plains.

Time waits for no one. If we want to achieve something, we might as well try our hand at Tian'an County first.

Su Che walked slowly, and before he knew it, he had returned to the entrance of Tongde Tower.

Red candles hung high, and a long bench was placed at the entrance.

A man dressed in black, his face covered with a black cloth and wearing a bamboo hat, sat there quietly.

"Sir, what brings you out so late?"

He seemed to be speaking in a dialogue.

Su Che understood that this was aimed at him.

Lightning-Cleft Thunder Eyes observed for a moment, but found that this person's aura was hidden, and he could not tell the depth of it for the time being.

Tian'an County is getting more and more interesting.

"I'm full and have nothing to do, so I've come out for a stroll."

Su Che dispelled the Mirage Qi that concealed his form. "So, sir, where did you conduct such a large transaction?"

As he spoke, Su Che chuckled and pointed to Tongde Tower behind the man.

"Or is the transaction hidden inside?"

The man in black did not answer, but flicked his right hand, creating layers of thunderous sound.

The Martial Confucian Lineage?

With a thought, Su Che summoned the Nine-Curved Yin Spring, which transformed into a faint halo of light that appeared before him.

The man moved like lightning, slamming his fist into the Nine-Curved Yin Spring, causing Su Che's Qi and Blood to surge for a moment.

This person is at least at the Sixth Grade Sixth Grade cultivation.

"Ghost Cultivator."

The man in black stared at the eerie light emanating from in front of Su Che.

"You came from the Yin-Yang Realm?"

Such strong Qi and Blood.

When this person threw his punch, he used both fists to forcefully strike the Law Artifact made of Darkwater Essence, and he was actually able to shake it. His physical body was solid and his Qi and Blood were vigorous. He had really exceeded the limits of the human body and was almost like a ghost or god.

With a flick of his finger, Su Che unleashed a burst of Infernal Sword Qi that vanished into nothingness— the Mirage Shadow Primordial Sword, which he hadn't used in a long time.

Sword Qi?

The man silently formed a hand seal with his left hand, while his right hand moved with the speed of a ghost, blasting the Sword Qi into nothingness with a single punch.

This person should not be among the Six Ghost Marshals.

Could he be one of those rebellious ghosts in the Yin-Yang Realm who refuse to submit to the king's rule?

The man in black speculated about Su Che's identity, while Su Che intentionally avoided using the methods from the Secret Register of the Yin Heaven of Zhoujue.

If you're going to fight, you have to catch them off guard.

The Mirage Shadow Primordial Sword unleashed a barrage of attacks, its Sword Qi like a torrential rain, sweeping towards the man in black before it.

The Sword Qi was loose; this person was hiding a move.

He may not be Ghost Cultivator.

The man in black's fist techniques changed, his chaotic punches crashing like waves against the shore, meeting the rain of sword Sword Qi head-on with a hard-hitting, solid approach, countering each move as it came.

Su Che suddenly changed his move, and a Sword Qi, seemingly off-target but actually accurate, shot straight at the Tongde Tower signboard behind the man in black.

The man in black flashed upwards, his hands forming an iron wall to block the imposing sword Sword Qi.

He's bluffing me.

The man in black inwardly cried out in alarm.

"Tongde Tower has quite the prestige to be able to hire such a master as its doorman."

"You fiend, how could I allow you to indiscriminately harm the innocent?"

The man in black muttered in a deep voice, his tone even more righteous and dignified than Su Che's Sword Qi just now.

"Hiding like a coward, I'd like to see which great hero dares to stop this ghost from the depths of Nine Netherworlds!"

Su Che used his five fingers as swords, flicking his fingertips repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of Sword Qi.

"That's all there is to it!"

The man in black swung his fists, but this time a gash appeared in his chest from the Sword Qi, revealing his dark, iron-like skin, from which a torrent of pale blue blood gushed out.

This Sword Qi.

The man in black endured excruciating pain; the wound on his chest felt as if it had been torn apart by a thousand knives. It not only shattered his hardened body but also seemed to pierce his soul with layers of ghostly howls.

Su Che concealed a Tai Hell Avici Sword within the Mirage Shadow Primordial Sword.
