He County was a thousand-year-old ancient city located at the border between Anhui Province and Jinling. It had a stone city gate similar to Shouzhou, and it exuded a heavy sense of history and age.
Under the dim light of the evening sun, Master Ding Hui, Ninth Uncle, Van Helsing, and the others looked at the mottled city wall with solemn expressions.
"What an eerie ghostly aura. It seems to be mixed with demonic aura!"
A bone-chilling cold wind blew over. Old Monk Ding Hui's long White Beard danced in the wind. He took a deep breath. "It's definitely a terrifying evil ghost, a powerful demon! This county … will probably become a ghost town. "
The initially confident Jian Dan and Jian Zhi brothers hesitated when they saw the dark city gate and the increasingly eerie ancient county under the evening light.
The scene of zombies dancing and evil ghosts running amok in Jiangcheng at night came back to their minds.
"Masters … let's just take a detour."
Li Qi frowned. Even a real one-punch man might not be able to kill evil spirits and vengeful ghosts like Freddy, Kayako, and Chu Renmei in the movies. The two were not creatures of the same system and style.
"Take a detour? How can we take a detour? The ghostly and demonic aura is so strong. If we don't deal with it as soon as possible and let it spread, it will be a disaster that will surpass the Red Ghost King! "
Ninth Uncle was indeed a righteous Mao Mountain Taoist priest. He was full of fearlessness. "Everyone, enter the city!"
"Master … even if we want to catch ghosts and exorcise demons, we don't have to go in now. It's going to be night soon, and the evil ghosts in the night are buffed." Jian Zhi shrunk his neck in fear.
Ninth Uncle slapped him on the head. "Ghosts are afraid of the sun. Many evil ghosts won't appear in the day. What's the point of exorcising them in the day? As a Mao Mountain disciple, you learned talisman techniques, but you're still afraid of ghosts. You're even more useless than my previous disciples! "
"Come, let's go in!" Ma Chunhua and Many And Many were excited. One of them had the bloodline of a zombie, and the other couldn't die, so of course they weren't afraid.
Lin Xi watched everything silently from the side. After passing through the battlefield of the undead army, killing the Shadow of War, that terrifying Vengeful Spirit Boss, and even personally fighting a demigod-level Lich, would he be afraid of monsters or evil spirits?
Besides, among the elemental energies, fire and lightning were the bane of ghosts.
Perhaps some people were unwilling, but since the elders of the three teams, Ninth Uncle, Ding Hui, and Van Helsing, had made a decision, no one else could object.
They stepped into the dark and gloomy city gate with moss growing on the walls. They entered the ancient city that had existed for thousands of years. No one noticed that at that moment, the words "He County" written on the signboard on the gate tower had turned dark red. The words were dripping with blood.
Gates of Hell.
"Just what kind of existence has descended upon this county? Ghost energy, death energy, and soaring resentment! "Ninth Uncle was shocked as soon as he entered the city.
Van Helsing drew a cross on his body. "I'm afraid only the Divine Fire from Mount Sinai can purify this miserable place."
"Now, I feel a terrifying aura similar to the Night of a Hundred Ghosts in Pingjing." Even the Onmyoji Seimei, who didn't like to speak much and always had a faint smile on his face, revealed a serious expression.
Wearing a black robe in the style of the Grim Reaper, Lin Xi entered the county and found that the temperature here was at least five to seven degrees lower than outside. Because the mysterious person had unlocked the shackles of the energy system of "Qi", he had been sensing and thinking for the past two days.
Therefore, he was very sensitive to Qi.
In He County, Yin energy, demonic energy, and evil energy were all negative energy. They were opposite to light, heat, and human life energy, so they would cause the temperature to drop and make people feel cold.
It was like a cemetery — especially a cemetery at night, which always made the living feel cold.
"Jian Dan, Jian Zhi, bring me my artifact. The rest of you, be mentally prepared to fight at any time."
The two evolved disciples quickly took out the yellow Daoist robe, the peach wood sword, the red rope, the Ink Dipper, and talismans from their inventory space.
It was a stack of talismans drawn with cinnabar and yellow paper.
Talismans were probably the most important thing in the Maoshan Taoism. Talismans represented faith and the spirit text of the three realms. Using these spirit texts, talismans written with magical power could summon gods, exorcise ghosts, and subdue demons.
Ninth Uncle's talisman was naturally the most common "Exorcism and Suppression of Evil Talisman" for ghosts and monsters!
He put on the yellow Daoist robe and the Ink Dipper talisman at his waist. Ninth Uncle did not take the peach wood sword. Instead, he shouted, "This century-old peach wood sword can only kill small ghosts and zombies. What's the use of it? Take it yourselves. Give me the gold sword and a long weapon that I can use. "
Jian Dan took out the gold sword, which was about a foot long, strung with copper coins and handed it to his master. "I don't have a long weapon anymore. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade that I exchanged for last time was broken by the Red Ghost King, right? Do you want to exchange for it again?"
"Okay. It's impossible to deal with ghosts and monsters without metal weapons."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Xi stopped Jian Dan who was about to exchange and took out the three-pointed, double-edged sword that he had obtained from Dong Qing. This was the weapon of the spirits of the Three Kingdoms period. It was slightly inferior to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, but it was also the peak of ancient cold weapons.
"How about this?"
"Thanks."
Ninth Uncle took the three-pointed, double-edged sword and waved it with one hand. "Not bad."
Seeing the satisfied look on One Eyebrow Taoist's face, Lin Xi could not help but think that if he took out the halberd that was comparable to a divine artifact, Hecarim, Sparta's Hero Soul Halberd, would it shock this person?
To be safe, he also took out his own weapon.
The katana that he had obtained in the town of the parasites:
Kiku-ichimonji.
Looking at the shiny blade and the chrysanthemum pattern all over the blade, Ahn No Haruaki sighed. "Good blade … This blade must have killed many people. It's stained with blood and evil spirits. It can harm ghosts and monsters."
Telekinesis was undoubtedly a very convenient superpower. Under the restraint of Telekinesis, Kiku-ichimonji floated behind Lin Xi.
"Sword Manipulation Technique?"
Liu Suifeng exclaimed in surprise. He, whose name had a poetic flavor, was full of desire for the Eastern cultivation system, such as Qi Refinement and Sword Manipulation Technique. Unfortunately, he had drawn a Western summoning technique.
The others also looked at Lin Xi in shock. The black-robed youth's hands were hidden in his sleeves. He was not holding a weapon, but the Kiku-ichimonji floated beside him and flew forward as the youth moved.
"Could it really be Sword Manipulation Technique?"
Lin Xi smiled slightly and did not explain.
At this time, almost everyone had taken out their weapons. This group was the elite who had escaped from Jiangcheng after killing the Red Ghost King. They were relatively rich in points.
Liu Suifeng and Jiang Xinyu's weapons were Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu's Gentleman Sword and Lady Sword from The Return of the Condor Heroes.
The brothers Jian Zhi and Jian Dan each held a century-old peach wood sword.
Since both of them had magical energy and were able to use their magic items, they exchanged for a precious amulet: the "Amulet of the Hawk God" from the world of Terraria. This kind of accessory was immune to chaos, darkness, weakness, curses, poison — including zombie poison.
Li Qi, who only fought with his fists, actually had a Scorching Sun Glove from the world of the King of Fighters!
This was a semi-divine artifact passed down in the Kusanagi family. Kyo Kusanagi had once given it to his disciple, Shingo Yabuki. Through strong willpower, it could activate the power of flames hidden in the glove.
With the gauntlets, Li Qi would be able to deal damage to some of the ghost-type monsters that were formless and intangible.
Ma Chunhua, who had turned into a zombie, took out a withered, grayish-brown hand. This was the hand of a zombie — it had fallen from an ancient zombie in Jiangcheng. Its skin and flesh were shriveled, and its bones were as hard as darksteel.
Many And Many took out a Type 95 automatic rifle. It wasn't a weapon exchanged, but a gun in reality. The bullets were obtained from the police station in Jiangcheng.
Van Helsing, a mercenary under his name, had a gun with unlimited ammunition. It was a silver gun from the world of the Demon City. It could shoot silver bullets. This gun was much more expensive than the Peony Desert Eagle. It was a special weapon for exorcists.
Not only the silver gun, but also Ninth Uncle's golden sword and the Eight Trigrams Mirror hanging on his waist were also items exchanged.
Mercenaries didn't have special equipment that originally belonged to them.
For example, if he exchanged for Saber, she would definitely be wearing the classic blue-white knight skirt armor. However, the Sword of Victory and Promised Victory, as well as the Ideal Land Far Away from the Mundane World, these Noble Artifacts were gone and would have to be exchanged elsewhere.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be just 420,000.
The old monk Ding Hui took out a monk's staff, put on a kasaya, and hung a string of prayer beads around his neck.
These were all artifacts that required spiritual power, Buddhist power, magic power, and even ghost power and demon power to be used.
Ahn No Haruaki received an artifact with Japanese characteristics from his master, Jiang Xinyu. It was often held by witches in anime and manga. It was used to clean the shrine and eliminate ghosts and monsters. It looked like two paper strings tied on a wooden stick.
He took a piece of paper from the string and chanted an incantation in a low voice. The paper quickly grew bigger and turned into a human figure with hands and feet. It landed on the ground.
Paper Shikigami!
Everyone was ready for battle. Of course, in addition to weapons and artifacts, agility shoes, gloves of strength, healing pearls, and other equipment that weren't very valuable but important couldn't be left out.
Ninth Uncle had a Belt of Giant Strength around his waist. It could increase the strength of a person by about one.
The sun finally set completely. Unlike Luzhou, even though the night was covered by dark shadows and black clouds, the shadows themselves had a dim light.
The night in He County was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers.
A chilly wind that could freeze people's blood slowly blew …
Ninth Uncle's Bagua Mirror, Master Ding Hui's rosary, Van Helsing's silver cross, and Ahn No Haruaki's Gouyu suddenly glowed. These precious and spiritual artifacts glowed when they were blown by the chilly wind that contained strong negative energy.
The Eagle God Amulet on Jian Zhi and Jian Dan's necks also glowed faintly.
"Masters, what should we do now? We can't just wander around in this ghost city. The streets are dead silent, and the wind is making our bodies stiff. And this darkness … I have goosebumps all over my body." Li Qi couldn't help but complain.
"If we don't wander around here, how can we attract the evil ghosts and monsters in the city?" Ninth Uncle answered.
At this moment, old monk Ding Hui's expression suddenly changed. "Everyone, be careful. Something is coming!"
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling …"
In the darkness in the distance, the crisp sound of a copper bell rang …
