Chapter 15: The Battle of Crossing the Soul River (Part II)

After a "boom" in my ears, the whole world fell silent.

"Is it over? Is it finally over? Can I go back? I don't feel pain, I'm already dead?"

I opened my eyes and stood up, surrounded by darkness.

"Is this the underworld? Why is it so dark that you can't see anything? ”

I walked aimlessly.

"Anyway, I'm dead, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Mask, mask, are you there?"

There was no familiar voice in my ears.

"Keep walking, see what's ahead, life and death have reincarnation, in case you miss reincarnation, it's not good. ”

I was thinking nonsense.

"What will it become to be reincarnated again? Will it still be a human being? Don't be reincarnated as a human being, it's too tiring to be a human being. ”

As he walked, he suddenly bumped into something.

"Uh...... It hurts. What is this thing?"

There was a wall in front of it, and it was smooth and cold to the touch. I knocked on the wall, and there was a distinct echo of "knock-knock-knock."

"Huh?

I put my ear to that wall, and there was the sound of the wind and the clashing of weapons.

"Is there anyone on the other side? Do you want to go over and have a look, what if it's a ghost soldier or one of those skeleton soldiers on the other side?" I thought about going back the way I came, "Forget it, I'm dead anyway, what's there to be afraid of." ”

I pushed hard against that wall with both hands, "Uh...... It's so cool, this wall looks like it's made of ice. I couldn't push with my hands, so I simply started to lean up and push.

"Oh yes, why do I still feel cold and pain when I'm dead? So...... I'm not dead. "I had just come to my senses, but it was too late, and the wall collapsed in front of me.

In front of him was a group of strange-looking people, armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and dressed in armor, and the clouds and mist under their feet.

"It's ...... "I stood still, not daring to move.

They raised their weapons high in their hands and gathered around an execution platform, shouting in unison, "Kill him!"

"Is this a heavenly soldier? Who are they going to kill?" I still couldn't help but creep into the crowd. I walked as far forward as I could, and one of them didn't stand still and crashed into one of the heavenly soldiers beside me, "Ah...... Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't know anyone!" I was so frightened that I squatted on the ground with my head in my hands, but no one came to arrest me, and the heavenly soldiers beside me did not notice my existence, or rather, they didn't seem to see me. I stood up and tried again, and found that I could only feel them, and they couldn't feel me.

"It's reassuring, they can't see me when I'm standing above their heads hahaha. "I immediately pushed through the crowd with impunity, and soon walked to the nearest position to the execution table, but the view from the execution table stunned me - I was tied to the execution table was my mask, and there was firewood underneath, and the firewood was not like ordinary firewood, even if it was not lit, it glowed white, and the heat kept rising, scorching the mask.

"Hey, I heard that this mask was originally one of the three holy weapons in the heavenly realm, but it disobeyed the orders of the envoy in charge of the holy weapon, so it was executed. ”

"There are ten artifacts that can still be destroyed, but this holy artifact appeared at the creation of the world, so it's a pity to destroy it like this. ”

"There's no way, that envoy colludes with the ghost world, and he will curry favor with Tianzun, and he also controls the ten major artifacts and the three holy weapons, his order, except for Tianzun, no one dares to disobey it." ”

The Heavenly Soldiers whispered beside me.

"Is this my mask? If the mask dies, where did the mask come from? No, you can't let it die, you have to ask. ”

"The hour has come, and the execution will be carried out immediately. "The executioner by the execution table took a small stove, brought it close to the pile of wood, opened the lid of the stove, and the fire in it ran out of itself, lit the firewood, and ran back into the furnace. The firewood instantly ignited a fire, and the two executioners on the left and right quickly retreated, and the heavenly soldiers and generals below also applauded.

"Stop!" A loud voice came from behind the crowd, and I saw a young man in a green robe appear behind the crowd, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals immediately got out of the way, "This mask is an ancient holy weapon, a treasure left by the Creator, you are so bold that you dare to be disrespectful to the Creator!"

"Lingzun, this is what Tianzun meant, I hope you don't get in the way of our business. "Behind the execution table came a god dressed in seven colors.

"Lingzun, is this my father in my first life?" I hid and watched quietly.

"Heh, you are just an envoy in charge of the holy weapon, you are dictatorial in the heavenly realm, concealing it from Tianzun above, and confusing the public with evil words, that mask just wants to go to Tianzun to accuse you of colluding with the ugly behavior of the ghost world, but unexpectedly you plotted, I will not let your conspiracy succeed today. With that, with a flick of his hand, Lingzun extinguished the fire under the mask. "Heh, who gave you the courage to use the three-flavor real fire to execute?"

"This is all allowed by Tianzun, you dare to disobey Tianzun, Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General! Catch him for me!" After finishing speaking, Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General still stood respectfully on both sides, and no one dared to move. "What, are you going to rebel too!" the imperial envoy was annoyed and ashamed, took off the seven-colored cloak and waved it lightly, and the two heavenly soldiers closest to him instantly turned their heads in different places, "Does anyone else want to try it?" Seeing this, the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals were all frightened, and immediately picked up the weapon in their hands and pointed at Lingzun.

"Lord Lingzun, we are also forced to be helpless, I'm sorry!" a heavenly soldier shouted at Lingzun. With that, all the heavenly soldiers and generals rushed towards the Spirit Venerable.

"The souls of your ancestors are all out of my hands, how can I be willing to kill innocent people indiscriminately and hurt you?" Lingzun jumped up, stepped on the weapons stabbed by those heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, flew up with his strength, and shook the green robe in the air, and the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals were repelled by a stream of air, and he pulled out a sword glowing with blue light from the green robe, and the two sides of the sword were engraved with the sun and the moon. "Holy Weapon Mask, I am outnumbered to save you today, I hope you can help me!" The mask instantly emitted a strong light, and with a wave of Lingzun's sword, the golden rope binding the mask was broken, and the mask regained its freedom and flew into Lingzun's hand, and Lingzun put on the mask and pointed the tip of the sword at the envoy.

"You...... You even wore the holy weapon without permission, and destroyed the golden rope artifact. Come on, come on, get up for me, you shit!" the envoy shouted to the heavenly generals, but there were no heavenly soldiers to help him. "Lingzun, do you know what the consequences are when you do this!"

"Heh, for people like you, I never care about the consequences, I just want you to die. ”

"Hahaha, I'm wearing the Seven Phoenix Battle Robes, do you think you have the ability to make me die? The imperial envoy shook the so-called Seven Phoenix robes, and suddenly his whole body was surrounded by black qi.

"It's true that you colluded with the ghost world, and you are full of resentment, how many unseemly things have you done!"

"Hahaha, wait until you die, go and ask the king of Hades!" the envoy said and flew up, rushing towards the Lingzun, the seven phoenix robes were burning everywhere they passed, when they were close to the Lingzun, the Lingzun stabbed with a sword, the envoy dodged a sword, waved the robe forward, a wall of fire appeared in front of the Lingzun, and at the same time flew out of the seven dark arrows in the robe, Lingzun retreated, dodging the wall of fire, the sword waved to block the flying dark arrows, but the envoy threw out a dark arrow when the Lingzun dodged, hitting the Lingzun's chest.

"Poof-" Lingzun was hit by an arrow in his chest, and a mouthful of black blood spat out. "This poison is from the ghost world, right?"

"Hahaha, there is so much nonsense, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, I will kill you Lingzun and sacrifice to the sky today!" The envoy rolled up his robe and turned it into a fiery sword, and stabbed at Lingzun.

Lingzun swung his sword to block the blow, but the wound in his chest spurted black blood from the force.

"I know you're no longer good, let's fight quickly, today next year will be the day of your Lingzun. The envoy seemed to have gone mad, and his face began to be hideous, with fangs and pointed armor on his hands and feet, and in an instant he changed from a human form to a beast form.

"Mask, you help me, take advantage of his enchantment and abolish his immortal bones. Lingzun floated the sword in front of him and closed his eyes, "Mask, you remember these eight words: the spirit gives all things, and the Three Realms are reborn." With that, Lingzun opened his eyes, blue light burst out from his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold the sword, and stabbed at the demon envoy, and the envoy turned into a beast that also opened its bloody mouth, surrounded by black gas, and rushed towards Lingzun.

Suddenly, the two forces of black and blue converged, and the heavenly realm trembled because of it.

The envoy of the beast only lasted for a few seconds before he lost his anger, the black qi dissipated, and he was wrapped in blue light, and the seven phoenix robes on his body slowly turned into pieces in the blue light.

"Ahh The fragments of the seven phoenix robes fused into seven, turned into seven colors of phoenixes in the clouds, and flew to the sky with a roar, disappearing. And Lingzun also lost his strength, the sword fell to the side, and the person fell to the ground.

Hiding on the side, I wanted to go forward to save him, but I saw the mask attached to Lingzun's face detach from his body, silently reciting the phrase "The spirit gives all things, and the Three Realms are reborn." The dazzling white light enveloped the Spirit Venerable, lifted his body up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And everything I saw instantly turned black.

It was as if I had closed my eyes, and all I could hear was repeating the phrase "the spirit bestows all things, and the three realms are reborn." And the voice is getting farther and farther away.

The sound was familiar again, the crash of the cables, the rolling of the rubble, the neighing of the skeletons.

"The spirit gives all things, and the Three Realms are reborn!" I suddenly woke up, the boulder was weighing heavily on my body, and I tried hard to break free from under the boulder, but I couldn't do anything.

"Mask, mask, are you okay? Let's try again. ”

"Good. The mask replied in my ear.

I clenched my hand crushed under the rubble into a fist as best I could, and silently recited in my heart, "The spirit gives all things, and the Three Realms are reborn." ”

"The Spirit bestows all things, and the Three Realms are reborn. The Spirit bestows all things, and the Three Realms are reborn. The spirit gives all things, and the Three Realms are reborn...... "I felt a warm current passing through my body, just like I felt when I was in Lingxi, and I didn't know that something was surging in the ground around me, and the mountains and rocks that were constantly impacting were about to break through the ground.

"I'm not a useless ant! no one can stop me!" I raised my fists upwards and easily smashed the boulder that was crushing me, and at the same time thick roots grew from the ground around me, holding me up.

The skeleton had seen that we had been crushed by the rubble for a long time without moving, and thought that we were already dead, and that the power of the sea of fire had decreased a lot, but my sudden appearance made him vigilant, and he pulled out the iron rope that had withdrawn the sea of fire, and roared at me.

The thick roots put me on the ground, and they all stabbed at the skeleton, the skeleton didn't care, the wood should have burned when it met the fire, but those roots not only did not burn, but instead wound and whipped the skeleton more vigorously in the ghost fire, the skeleton was in agony, and summoned the little skeleton soldiers in the sea of fire to climb the roots and bite, but to no avail.

"Mask, let's finish him. I didn't wait for the mask to answer, I put my hands together, since there was no sword, then use my hands, I closed my eyes, and the spirit of the dream appeared in front of me, and he actually looked back at me and gently recited the sentence with me.

"The spirit gives all things, and the Three Realms are reborn!"

I opened my hands, the sky and the earth were pierced by blue light, and those thick tree roots also disappeared one by one into blue light into my body, the skeleton got a gap, pulled out the iron cable and hit me, and the mask also floated out of my body, only a white light broke the two iron cables, the skeleton saw this, with all its strength to burn the sea of fire violently, roared, set off a wave of fire, roared towards me.

"Mask, ready!" I leaped into the flames.

"Liu Xi!

The blue light surrounded me, and the ghostly fire that enveloped me couldn't hurt me in the slightest, and I quickly approached the skeleton.

"You demon puppet dare to hurt me like this, I am not for heaven and earth, but for myself to eradicate you all the way. With that, I lifted the saber up and slashed it down. The skeleton just screamed at me, spitting out the last cloud of ghostly fire, and then it was wiped out with that blow.

The sea of fire was extinguished, and the River of Souls returned to its previous clarity and tranquility.

I felt my body heavy, let go of the saber in my hand, and fell down.
