The ghost god breaks free (33)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Unsurprisingly, the mist failed to stop the Blood Demon's countless afterimages.

Those countless afterimages were the countless incarnations of the Blood Demon.

It's just a fog; you can clear it even using brute force.

Not to mention, Flying Peak, located in the middle of the mist, is already exceptionally conspicuous, so there is no need to specifically identify its location.

Tumultuous!

Just then, a blazing flame suddenly descended from the sky.

Several unprepared afterimages were vaporized by the crimson flames before they could even utter a scream.

"Kid, has anyone ever told you not to trespass into the restricted areas of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

A lithe cheetah emerged from the flames, followed by Xiluo's deep voice echoing through the clouds.

"Especially this Mount Yunmeng, you're the first person in hundreds of years to forcibly trespass into this place!"

As Xiluo stared at the other person, the countless afterimages of the Blood Demon reassembled into a You Chong form.

"I've heard of you, the mountain god of Mount Yunmeng."

Taking a very wary step back, You Chong spoke in an equally suppressed tone.

"You are not only a companion of that Witch of the Huai River from a thousand years ago, but also have a close friendship with the Red-Haired Ghost God."

"But apart from that, I don't seem to have heard any other rumors about you."

"You seem to be just an insignificant supporting character in their story?"

With undisguised sarcasm in her tone, You Chong's words successfully enraged Xiluo.

Tumultuous!

Too lazy to waste words with You Chong, Xiluo unleashed a fiery cloud beneath her feet and pounced.

Its speed was so fast that it completely exceeded the reaction limits of normal living beings, even You Chong, who was Blood Demon, was no exception.

puff...

The body was ignited at a visible speed, and the pervasive Blood Qi was quickly dissipated.

However, You Chong laughed at this moment, and laughed so unrestrainedly.

"Just as rumored, impulsive and easily angered..."

You Chong's words had even finished...

A blood-red afterimage appeared silently near Flying Peak.

It turns out that You Chong hadn't gathered all the afterimages together earlier.

Instead, he left behind a blur and, taking advantage of Xiluo's inattention, quietly approached the cliff face of Flying Peak.

"What are you doing!?"

Her pupils suddenly contracted, Xiluo instinctively turned around to look.

Just then, the blood-red afterimage transformed into a strange Witchcraft Incantation, corroding the cliff face of Flying Peak.

Boom!

In an instant, a loud bang suddenly came from the top of Flying Peak.

"Haha! I'm finally free!"

With a burst of laughter that shook the heavens and the earth, a statue on the Ghost God Cliff fell off.

Almost the instant it was freed from its physical constraints, the statue reverted to its original Ghost God form.

"Haha! You damned raccoon, your grandpa's free!"

The Ghost God had the head of an eagle, the body of a human, wings on its back, and claws on its hands and feet.

From a distance, one could only see its fierce face and menacing aura.

The skin surface is also covered with irregular, strange textures.

Especially when it flaps its wings, the jet-black feathers shooting out from its back are as sharp as blades.

"Hei Chi, get back here!"

After dodging the feathers falling from the sky.

Xiluo suddenly let out a long roar to the sky, her imposing presence shaking the mountains and forests.

Boom!

The next second, Hei Chi and Xiluo collided.

The massive shockwave exploded, creating a terrifying mushroom cloud that rose directly near Flying Peak.

At the highest point of the Ghost God Cliff, on the altar where Li Boyang performed his Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain.

"This is a huge problem..."

With a soft sigh, the statue in the easternmost position of the altar spoke.

It was a wind god with a human body and a bird's face.

In the past, when Li Boyang Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain, he used His power to create strong winds.

Because they can use this statue to get some fresh air.

The wind god was quite happy to lend his power to Li Boyang.

The deities of the south, west, and north directions...

For similar reasons, he chose to lend his strength to Li Boyang.

"It's Xiluo's problem, it has little to do with us."

This time, it was the fire god, located in the due south direction, who spoke.

Unlike Xiluo, who was a fake fire god masquerading as a mountain god, this was a true fire god.

He was born on a dormant volcano in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Because of its violent and cruel nature, it was sealed in the Ghost God Cliff by the Witch of the Huai River a thousand years ago.

"Ha, that's easy for you to say. Have you all forgotten Li Boyang?"

After a brief silence, the Ghost God in the west chuckled and spoke.

This Ghost God was not a living being, but a pure white pillar reaching to the sky, faintly gleaming with a cold metallic light.

As Totem Deity of a certain tribe.

This Ghost God was taken in by the Witch of the Huai River into this Ghost God Cliff after the defeat and extermination of her clan.

Because of its Totem Deity nature, and because it doesn't like to move around much, it is considered the most approachable Ghost God among all the ghost gods on the entire Ghost God Cliff.

"Kunwu is right, we've both witnessed that human kid's rapid growth..."

"From initially having Xiluo approach us for help, to then independently manipulating Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain, he only took three years."

"I now even suspect that even if we don't want to, he can forcibly use our power."

Finally, the Rain God, who was stationed in the due north, spoke. He was also the deity who had the deepest understanding of Li Boyang's growth rate.

The rain god is different from the ordinary river god.

Their power comes entirely from rainfall.

Therefore, the rain god's power is often strongest during the rainy season when it is at its most intense, and vice versa.

However, the Rain God could not sense any changes in the strength or weakness of his own power in Li Boyang, as if his power was constant.

The Rain God was well aware that this was just an illusion, but what caused it?

After several years of reflection and observation, the Rain God came to a conclusion that surprised even himself.

Perhaps, to Li Boyang, their power was merely a "key"—a "key" that allowed him to unleash his power to Summon Wind and Call Rain.

The key is only useful when opening the door; after that, it becomes useless.

"So, you're saying you're not planning to take this opportunity to escape?"

Seemingly with a hint of disdain, Vulcan spoke again.

"Not necessarily. Let's see how big this commotion gets!"

"If it's just some minor skirmishes..."

"I don't want to lose this opportunity to go out and have some fresh air because of these little squabbles."

The wind god's statement set the tone for the four gods' subsequent actions.

"Hopefully, the troublemaker this time will be a formidable opponent..."
