Gu Chen reached out and made a move, and in a moment, the soul crystal flashing with dark luster flew into Gu Chen's palm.
Compared with the soul crystals Gu Chen had seen before, the soul crystal in this underworld demon ghost was darker and very deep, as if it was connected to an abyss, which was daunting.
Moreover, the power in the soul crystal is many times more pure than the previous soul crystals.
Because this soul crystal can be said to be the condensation of the power of the underworld demon and ghost, and the soul crystals that Gu Chen usually obtained were all condensed from the residual power of the demon and ghost after their death.
Buzz!
Following Gu Chen's thoughts, the soul crystal floated in the sky above Gu Chen's palm. It trembled slightly and invisible force acted on it. In a short time, the soul crystal began to gradually disintegrate from the edge and soon dissipated.
It just turned into nothingness.
In Gu Chen's perception, a thick and cold energy flowed down his arm and into his body.
"Ninety-two merit points?" Gu Chen brought up the panel and was slightly shocked when he saw the extra merit points on it.
A ghost at the underworld level could actually bring him so many merit points, which were already close to a hundred.
If there were a few more demons like this, Gu Chen felt that he would soon reach the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and even directly become the top grandmaster of martial arts and divine communication.
Moreover, you must know that this ghost-level demon is not the strongest. The higher the demon's strength, the more merit points it brings to Gu Chen.
"It would be nice if I could meet a few more underworld monsters along the way." Gu silently thought.
At this time, he saw that the crack in the void not far away had not disappeared yet.
"Is it possible..." Suddenly, Gu Chen stared there with burning eyes.
After a while, several demons and ghosts formed by the condensed black energy followed this crack in the void and came to Kyushu and landed here.
"Is it an evil-level monster?"
Seeing this, Gu Chen was a little disappointed. He thought another underworld demon would appear.
Gu Chen has encountered many evil-level demons and ghosts, which are equivalent to the level of martial arts masters of the Jiuzhou human race. For him now, it can be said that they can be destroyed with just one hand.
boom!
Gu Chen just waved his sleeves, and in a moment, the true energy of the sun turned into a blazing flame and rushed out. Those evil-level demons and ghosts had just arrived in the world of Jiuzhou and were burned to death, leaving only a few soul crystal remnants.
Whoosh!
Gu Chen stretched out his hand and made a move, and all these soul crystals were absorbed by him.
After killing these evil-level monsters, Gu Chen did not choose to leave, because the crack in the void had not disappeared yet, and he needed to ensure that no monsters would appear in the future.
Under Gu Chen's gaze, as the tea time passed, this crack in the void began to slowly heal under the influence of the rules of the Nine Provinces of Heaven and Earth until it disappeared.
Seeing this, Gu Chen also jumped into the air and left this place.
Youzhou was in a hurry, so he did not choose to retreat directly to convert his merit points into cultivation. It would not be too late to wait until he got to Youzhou to do all this.
…
Ten days later, Youzhou City.
At this moment, two middle-aged men in Youzhou Jingtiansi were discussing something with solemn expressions.
One of them is a middle-aged man wearing battle armor, with straight facial features and a solemn face. He is the only Xiantian realm martial arts master in Youzhou City today. His name is He Yan, and he is also the heavenly rank of Youzhou Jingtiansi. Commander.
The other person, wearing official uniform, is a middle-aged Confucian scholar, the governor of Youzhou, named Liang Zhao.
"Master He, have you found out the whereabouts of the three demon sect demons?" At this moment, Youzhou Prefecture Mu Liang Zhao asked.
"There is no news about them yet."
Youzhou Jingtian Sitian level commander He Yan slowly shook his head and said: "As expected, the three of them are hiding and want to fuse with the underworld monsters and ghosts."
For He Yan, the battle in which the Youzhou garrison died that day is still vivid in his mind. The terror of the underworld monster is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It cannot be killed no matter what. It is as if it is immortal and very difficult to deal with. .
After this battle, He Yan truly saw the horror of underworld-level monsters.
Of course, the most important thing is the three law enforcement elders of Liuhe Divine Sect. If it were not for those three people, the guardian envoy of Youzhou Jingtiansi would not have died.
He Yan clenched his fists tightly and his face was cold. As a great master of Xiantian martial arts, he had never felt so powerless.
Youzhou Prefect Liang Zhao also had a heavy look on his face at this moment. He looked at the congratulations and said: "Master He, if these three people come back, what should we do?"
"They won't reappear in a short time. It's not that easy to fuse demons and ghosts." He Yan said after being silent for a moment.
"When will the reinforcements from Tiandu arrive?" Zhou Mu Liang Zhao asked again.
He Yan sighed softly and said: "Not long after the change of heaven and earth, the news was spread back to Tiandu with great difficulty. After Commander Qin knows what happened here, he will definitely send someone here, but Shenzhou is a bit far away from Youzhou. , even if a martial arts master in the Xiantian realm wants to arrive, it will take at least more than a month."
"Then what if during this period..." Youzhou Prefect Liang Zhao frowned, a little worried.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, if something happens, I will take the lead and will definitely do my best to protect the people of Youzhou." He Yan's face was solemn.
At this moment, both of them felt a little heavy, and they could only pin their hopes on the reinforcements sent by Qin Wu, the capital of heaven.
However, during this period, they also received news from other state capitals. It was not just Youzhou where ghosts of the underworld were coming. There were also ghosts in other states, but it was not as serious as Youzhou. Three ghosts appeared at once. Monster.
Therefore, even if Qin Wu wanted to mobilize manpower from various state capitals, I'm afraid it would not be that easy.
He Yan took a deep breath and said: "Master Liang, we should be prepared for the worst. After all, I have a deep understanding of the strength of the underworld monsters. Even if Tiandu sends people here, they may not be able to deal with it. , even if you are a guardian, it is extremely difficult to kill a ghost of the underworld in a one-on-one situation."
"This..." Liang Zhao was immediately shocked when he heard this. Although he did not go to the scene to witness it with his own eyes, he knew based on the brutality of the battle that the congratulatory words would not lie to him.
"Master He, do you mean to arrange for the evacuation of the people as soon as possible?" Liang Zhao, the pastor of Youzhou Prefecture, asked in a deep voice.
"That's right." He Yan nodded slowly. Now he is the only innate realm martial arts grandmaster in Youzhou City. Once the three law enforcement elders of Liuhe God Sect successfully merge with the underworld monsters, or there will be another underworld in Youzhou.
The arrival of super monsters and ghosts cannot be stopped by He Yan.
That's why He Yan suggested to Zhou Mu Liang Zhao to let the people evacuate as soon as possible.
"But where can the people be evacuated? The change in the world has just ended, and no one knows what will happen next. If disaster strikes during the evacuation, wouldn't the loss be even greater?" Liang Zhao said solemnly.
Hearing this, He Yan's brows also frowned.
At this time, a commander hurried in and shouted in a panic: "Oh no, Mr. He, there is another underworld-level demon coming outside the city!"
"What?!"
Suddenly, He Yan and Liang Zhao stood up, their expressions solemn.
He Yan asked urgently: "How many are there in total and where are they now?"
"Sir, there are two of them in total. Now they are only over a hundred miles away from the city."
Whoosh!
As soon as the man finished speaking, he immediately rushed out with congratulations.
"Quickly, summon the army!" Liang Zhao, the governor of Youzhou, also changed his expression and quickly called his men, asking him to quickly lead the army with him.
"Lord He will definitely not be able to hold on. If Lord He dies in this battle again, then the city of Youzhou will..." At this thought, Zhou Mu Liang Zhao's expression changed with shock, and he felt a burst of despair.
And when they arrived, they happened to see He Yan fighting two underworld-level monsters.
The cold aura emanating from the underworld-level monsters covers a radius of a hundred feet, and many people cannot get close. Only the commander of Youzhou Jingtiansi who has reached the realm of martial arts master can get a little closer.
boom!
In the void, the essence of heaven and earth vibrated, and He Yan hovered in mid-air, fighting with two dark-level demons whose bodies were dark and shimmering.
However, the Nether-level demons and ghosts are extremely powerful and can be said to be immortal. When He Yan came here, he was injured within a few rounds of fighting with them and was in a precarious state.
Even though he tried his best, his essence and blood were almost burning, but it was still the same.
"Master He can't stand it anymore!"
Below, a group of Jingtiansi commanders, soldiers, and Youzhou Prefect were all watching this scene with great nervousness.
He Yan is the only great master of Xiantian realm martial arts in Youzhou City today. If even he can't resist it, these two underworld-level monsters will definitely wreak havoc in Youzhou City. By then, countless people in the city will die tragically.
.
At that time, the entire Youzhou Jingtian Division, including Zhou Mu Liang Zhao, will all be sinners and cannot escape the blame.
"puff!"
At this time, even though He Yan was burning his essence and blood, he was still unable to withstand the attack of the two underworld monsters. The sharp claws of one of the underworld monsters almost pierced He Yan's chest.
"Master He!"
All the commanders of Youzhou Jingtian Division were stunned when they saw this scene, and Liang Zhao, the governor of Youzhou City, was extremely nervous.
After reaching the Xiantian realm, warriors have the ability to travel through the void and communicate between heaven and earth. Therefore, the number of people is no longer of much use to them. Although there is a large army reserve below, for those two, they are almost immortal.
It is also of little use to the underworld monsters.
"kill!"
At this time, Youzhou Jingtian Si Tianjie Commander He Yan roared angrily. His face was covered with blood at this moment, his innate true energy in his body was in a state of half-empty, and his blood essence and blood were greatly depleted. His whole body was extremely weak.
But even so, he was fighting these two underworld monsters with the determination to die.
The scene before the death of the Youzhou Jingtiansi garrison was still vivid in He Yan's mind. At this moment, it was finally his turn.
"Kill these two beasts!"
"kill!"
Just as He Yan was thinking this and was ready to die, he suddenly heard an angry rebuke from his subordinates below.
One after another, the true angs soared into the sky, targeting the two underworld monsters.
"Roar!"
One of the skinny Nether-level monsters just roared and with a bang, all the attacks collapsed in mid-air.
There is no way, the difference in strength is too big.
"I'll hold them back, you go quickly!"
At this moment, He Yan roared and rushed forward again, hoping to get a glimmer of life for his men.
"Master He!"
The faces of the commanders of Youzhou Jingtiansi turned red and they looked helplessly at this scene.
"I am with the city of Youzhou." At this time, Liang Zhao, the pastor of Youzhou Prefecture, who was an ordinary person but had some awe-inspiring righteousness, stood there without even taking a step back.
If He Yan died in battle here, with the speed of the two underworld monsters, it would not be long before they arrived at Youzhou City. By then, the city would be destroyed and people would be dead. How could he, a state shepherd, survive?
Even if he survives, it means nothing to Liang Zhao.
It can be said that neither He Yan nor Liang Zhao are afraid of sacrifice. They are just worried about the hundreds of millions of Youzhou people behind them.
"ah--"
At this time, He Yan only heard an angry roar, and his blood and essence boiled completely. He charged forward desperately.
"Ouch!"
The two Nether-level monsters looked up to the sky and howled, and the terrifying sound waves shocked many warriors present and caused them to bleed from their orifices. Fortunately, they retreated far enough, otherwise their bodies would have exploded immediately.
"Master Liang, let's leave quickly, Master He can't stop us!" No matter how Liang Zhao's men tried to persuade him, Liang Zhao always stood here expressionless.
"Master He!"
At this time, a series of exclamations came out, and He Yan's body was thrown into the air, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest.
"It's over!"
At this moment, the faces of everyone in Youzhou are ashen, the underworld monsters will devour everything, and everyone will die!
"Who said that scholars should be afraid of death?"
At this time, Youzhou Prefect Liang Zhao was not only not afraid, but a clear light rose from his body, and he was actually still walking towards the two evil-looking ghosts with murderous intent in their pupils.
"They are just two emotionless beasts. What should scholars like us fear?" Liang Zhao took steps, each step being unusually steady.
"Master Liang!"
At this time, countless people screamed, because they saw that two ghosts of the underworld had swooped down from mid-air, trying to kill Liang Zhao.
boom!
At this critical moment, a figure that looked like a tyrannosaurus suddenly arrived and kicked the two underworld monsters upside down.
"You are..." Youzhou Mu Liang Zhao was shocked and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
At this moment, a figure in Xuanyi appeared in front of Youzhou Mu Liang Zhao. He had a handsome face, three-dimensional facial features, black hair like a waterfall, hanging down to his waist. His whole body was slender, shining with luster, and his blood was surging like a wild dragon.
