"What? The 'hooligan' and the two villains are gone??"

Lu Xingyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked around at everyone, and sure enough, she didn't see the yin and yang man in a suit, Liu Mang, and the two "Black Shark Brothers" dressed in black also seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.

"Broken...... Could it be that those three guys have already found an exit and run away first, right?" Lu Xingyue clenched her fists and said "gritting her teeth".

"It may be understandable that the half-demon 'Nothing' is gone, but the stinky 'hooligan' and the 'black shark' are also gone...... Could it be that there are other exits that we haven't noticed?"

“…… Wait!You just said that the half-demon 'nothing'!?"

As he spoke, a rude and rude voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the three of them. Jiang Yao looked up and found a hideous-looking bald man walking towards the three of them menacingly.

It's him?

Jiang Yao stared at the bald man silently and frowned slightly. He recognized this person, in fact, in the "Shadow Bar", Jiang Yao rescued "Wu" from this person's hands. And this bald man is the nominal adoptive father of "Wu", and he is also the culprit of abusing "Wu".

"Hey, you guys, have you seen that dog bastard here!?

The bald man spitted Xingzi, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Yao and the others. Of course, he didn't recognize Jiang Yao, after all, when Jiang Yao rescued 'Wu', he didn't expose his face, but this did not prevent the bald man from showing an arrogant and domineering attitude.

"Lao Tzu told you, that bastard is Lao Tzu's dog! I accidentally let him go before, if you dare to hide him and not hand him over, beware of Lao Tzu picking your skin!"

"......" Mu Jianyun stared at the bald man coldly, as if he didn't like his rude attitude very much, but he didn't get angry out of self-cultivation, but Lu Xingyue on the side was not a stubble to be messed with, and without waiting for others to speak, his eyes widened, and he opened directly:

"Yo, what about 'peeling'? It's really energetic...... It seems that it is up to you to break this spatial circle, uncle. Lu Xingyue glanced at the other party and said mockingly. "However, if you want to waste your mana before you do so, then you can do whatever you want, but don't pull us along. ”

"You ......!" the bald man's face twitched, and he just wanted to scold, but he was blocked by Lu Xingyue again.

"'You, you, you', what are you?, let me tell you, now is the critical time for all of us to work together, if someone makes trouble regardless of the occasion, delaying everyone's time to escape...... Hmph, none of us will let him go!"

Lu Xingyue said, raising her voice intentionally or unintentionally, and when the people around her, who were already upset by the critical situation, heard it, they immediately echoed it, and pointed at the bald man and scolded, and the scene was a mess for a while. Seeing that this farce was about to intensify, a piercing thunderbolt suddenly exploded from the top of everyone's heads! A violent concussion accompanied by the roar of some kind of monster that seemed to exist floated from the sky......

"Roaring ——!"

"W-What sound?!"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly raised their heads, only to find that the surface of the mirror space hanging upside down in the sky was filled with strange ripples, and at the same time, they felt that the temperature around them began to rise suddenly with the shock, and even the surface of the red stone pillar that stood in the sky and earth also appeared in the shock.

"Oh no! Time has ......!"

"The stone pillar...... That pillar is going to collapse!!"

"Damn, what kind of magic circle is broken...... It's too late!!"

Seeing this, everyone's faces changed drastically, and an atmosphere of despair broke out in the crowd again. They nervously stared at the distorting space above, and suddenly noticed that a strange black hole appeared in the center of the "earth" hanging upside down in the sky.

"That'...... That's!?"

Jiang Yao looked at the strange black hole in amazement, and found that the edge of the hole was still expanding, and with the flash of purple thunder, he saw two huge fingers reaching in from behind the black hole, and tearing a pitch-black crack in the belly of the upside-down "earth".

"Look! Behind the cracks...... There are monsters!!"

A frightened howl rose from the crowd, and behind the pitch-black crack, a huge red eye suddenly appeared, like an uninvited guest peeping through this crack in the sky, watching everyone on the ground below.

"It's ...... What's that?!"

The sudden appearance of the red eyeball surprised Lu Xingyue and the others, but they immediately found that the eyeball didn't seem to be interested in the other people below, and after turning around slightly, they suddenly turned their eyes and focused their eyes on Jiang Yao's location.

It...... It's looking at me!?

Jiang Yao's heart "chuckled", and he was suddenly stared at and his hair stood on end. However, this is not over, I saw that the red eyes suddenly disappeared from behind the crack for two seconds after looking at Jiang Yao a few times, and then, the hand that had previously opened the crack suddenly reached in from behind the crack again, but this time, the target of that hand was no longer the sky, but went straight to Jiang Yao below!

"Oops! It's coming at you!"

Lu Xingyue on the side found that the situation was wrong, and quickly pulled up Jiang Yao and ran, but before they could run two steps, they found that the ground under their feet began to crack layer by layer. After ten hours of life-and-death catastrophe, the final collapse has begun.

"Boom......!!"

The deafening roar was mixed with the increasingly obvious roar of the monster, which irritated the nerves of everyone present. Under the violent spatial shock, the already cracked red stone pillar finally couldn't support it, and it broke into several pieces with a "bang", and smashed towards everyone below! Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue, who were unstable, only felt a darkness in front of them, and when they looked up, they saw a broken stone pressing towards them, and it was too late to hide at this time.

"Puff ——!!"

The gravel and dust rose into the sky with the huge shock wave, and the dancing sand and gravel forced Jiang Yao and the others to bow their heads to protect their heads. However, to their surprise, the expected impact was delayed, and when they looked up, they found that the huge hand that reached out to them was actually protecting their heads, which was able to block the falling broken rock for them.

This is......!?

Such an unexpected scene made Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue stand stunned for a moment, and before the two of them could even relax their senses, they were dragged out of the rockfall range by Mu Jianyun and Bai Pheasant, who came in a hurry. And that giant hand did not retract after Jiang Yao and the others got out of danger, but instead tore the pitch-black crack that ran through the rusty red sky bigger and bigger with a stroke of his finger.

"Woohoo——!!

The monster's roar was deafening as the sky shattered, and just as everyone on the scene was about to fall along with the collapsing ground, a golden wind suddenly whistled from the sky!

"Wow-"

In the blink of an eye, the wind gathered a powerful storm that swept everyone into a bottomless dark crack in the sky, and the entire space crumbled at the same time, dissolving into nothingness in the sudden flames of rust-red......

-----------------------------------

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......

The distant bell rang nineteen times, echoing for a long time in the rain of this clear night. And just as the last sound was gone, a pale old man in a gray robe slowly appeared on the top of an ancient city tower, and under the guard on both sides, calmly looked down on the dark and treacherous long street below.

"The hour has come. Qingming Festival "Ghost Market", Zheng-Shi-Kai-——!

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the gray-robed old man tremblingly raise the drumstick in his hand and strike towards a huge golden gong and drum beside him.

"Boom ——!"

With the earth-shattering roar of gongs and drums, the originally dim long street below the city tower suddenly lit up with a little fluorescent green light. Two rows of pale paper lanterns spread from near to far, along both sides of the long street, towards the distance, and under the light of those glowing "ghost fires", many busy figures came out of the tall and low bluestone ancient houses on both sides of the long street, and released the glimmer of magic from their hands.

In a few moments, strange small shops gradually took shape in the light of these spells, and began to take shape on both sides of the long street. It's just that over this lively long street, there seems to be some discordant sound echoing, as if the roar of some monster is constantly wafting from a distance.

"Woohoo——!!

"Huh?"

The roar came closer and closer with the shaking of the ground, and the gray-robed old man on the city tower raised his head and looked at the leaping fire in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly.

"......Isn't it supposed to be kept in a dungeon, and when was it released?"

"Elder Qiyu, my subordinates and subordinates don't know what's going on...... This "scourge" should have been guarded by the Serpent. The two guards on the side looked at each other and replied tremblingly.

"What about the snake people?" the gray-robed old man asked coldly after glancing at the guards beside him.

"Lord Snake, he...... It seems like...... It seems that he is still taking a bath and has not come back......" The guard seemed to be a little overwhelmed, hesitated and did not dare to look at the old man, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

"Hmph! When has it been, and I have been derelict in my duties! This time I have to join him in front of Lord Tubo!"

The gray-robed old man flicked his sleeves angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with the snake's dereliction of duty.

"This year's 'ghost market' is extremely important, and there is no room for negligence, especially near the venue where this 'ghost market' is held!

"Yes, yes!" the two guards ordered, and then hurried down the tower, leading a group of guards towards the location of the fire in the distance. However, before they could run far, they saw the flame suddenly leap up, and quickly approached them, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground in front of the guards!

"Pound!"

I saw a giant black dog several meters high descending from the sky and slamming down in front of the ancient city tower, instantly knocking the group of guards to the ground. Clusters of rusty red fire wrapped around the black dog's trembling body, pushing the black dog's madness to the top.

"Not good!"

The gray-robed old man on the city wall changed his face greatly when he saw this, and at this moment, he suddenly saw the black dog raise his head and open his bloody mouth towards him.

"Boom-"

Rusty red flames erupted from the black dog's mouth with a bitter golden whirlwind! Before the gray-robed old man could react, he took the entire city tower with him and was completely engulfed by this flame storm.
