I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 152 Li Qingyun is dead?
At the moment when Lu Dongbin and Zhongli Quan were pulled into the illusory world, Li Qingyun's heart suddenly moved, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope.

He quickly sent a message to Lu Zhen:
"Fourth brother, while Lu Dongbin is not here, I can take you away from here. And I have a way to solve your problem of losing control. Don't resist, let me take you away!"

Li Qingyun knew very well that if Lu Zhen continued to stay with Su Yue'e, he would die. As the evil god's aura became stronger and stronger, Lu Zhen's condition would only get worse and worse, and eventually he would be completely out of control.

To save him, one must either kill Su Yue'e and the evil infant, or take him away from here and try to use the "chaos" power of the "Qiongqi" golden tablet to reintegrate his mutated flesh and blood, just like how he saved Li Yingqi before.

However, the two had been contaminated by the evil god and were regarded by Lu Dongbin as intolerable hidden dangers. If they showed any intention of escaping from here, they would be killed by the pure Yang sword energy.

This serious situation made Li Qingyun dare not act rashly. He could only use the mysterious palace to suppress the evil spirits around him and protect himself temporarily.

Now, as Lu Dongbin was pulled into the void by the Qingqiu Demon Lord, Li Qingyun realized that the chance to escape had finally come.

He understood that the fight between the Sixth Realm powerhouses was so fierce that even many masters on the Earthly Demon List were afraid to compete, and it was far beyond the scope of his intervention.

Although he could not join the team to save the people, he felt that he could at least save Lu Zhen.

Moreover, he had an inexplicable premonition that taking Lu Zhen away from here might bring a turnaround for the current predicament, and even help everyone escape danger and turn danger into safety.

But at this moment, he received a subtle thought in his soul:
"Qingyun...kill me...kill me quickly!"

This thought was filled with endless pain and despair. Although it was extremely weak, it was like a sharp blade that pierced directly into Li Qingyun's heart. It brought him pain that destroyed his will and made him struggle immensely.

It was obvious that Lu Zhen had reached his limit. He used up his last bit of strength to convey the final message to Li Qingyun: he could not hold on any longer and wanted to do it himself to end his suffering.

For an ordinary third-level "psychic" to be able to persist for so long under the erosion of the evil god's aura is already a miracle in the mysterious world and enough to be proud of.

Li Qingyun walked forward, stretched out his hand to pull Lu Zhen's shoulder, and at the same time transmitted his voice:

"Fourth brother, hold on a little longer, I'm coming to save you!"

But as soon as his fingertips touched the corner of Lu Zhen's clothes, there was a sudden "boom" in his mind, and a strong feeling of dizziness came over him like a tide.

At the same time, the mysterious palace shadow in Li Qingyun's consciousness began to hum, and endless gray fog kept rolling, as if it was stimulated by some kind of power, and it passively activated the divination ability, projecting pictures...

……

In a classroom in Kaifeng Prefecture, Lu Zhen was facing a corpse without facial features and performing spiritualistic techniques.

His expression was focused, but at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly turned completely black, the pupils and the whites of his eyes disappeared, and his eyes were like a starry sky as dark as ink, hiding an endless abyss, which was chilling.

The next moment, Lu Zhen saw something terrible. He suddenly screamed, his knees went weak, and he fell to his knees.

His hands involuntarily fell to the ground, and a hoarse, inhuman, terrifying friction sound came from his mouth. His ink-black eyes suddenly lit up with seven colors, revealing pupils that stood up like snakes, revealing an evil and indescribable aura of horror.

At the same time, layers of cold scales began to grow on his neck and arms, and the temperature of his body quickly disappeared, as if he was being eroded and changed by some invisible force.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yunrui, who was guarding behind Lu Zhen, suddenly slapped him on the back, and the warm innate true energy was infused into him, making him quickly return to normal.

Lu Zhen's eyes regained clarity, and the scales on his body gradually faded away, but at the center of his eyebrows, a strange rune flashed and disappeared into his body.

At this time, Fang Shuan, who was watching from the side, asked anxiously:

"Fourth Uncle, what on earth did you see? Why did you become like this?"

Lu Zhen was panting, his face was pale, and his voice was filled with deep fear and warning:

"You cannot...look directly at...the gods..."

……

Then, another image slowly unfolded...

In a courtyard of the Kaifeng government office, crimson moonlight sprinkled down and leaves swayed in the breeze, creating a quiet and eerie atmosphere.

In front of the quaint desk, Lu Zhen was alone, staring intently at the book in his hands, his brows furrowed, and the mysterious symbol on his forehead appeared and disappeared from time to time, as if he was pondering some profound secret.

Suddenly, a low and mechanical sound of drums came from a distance, and when Lu Zhen heard the drums, his expression instantly became stiff, as if he had received some irresistible call.

He stood up slowly, with solemn and heavy steps, and walked to the other side of the room.

He lit two candles on the small table in the corner, then took out three incense sticks, lit them with candle flames, and inserted them into the incense burner on his side, forming a strange triangular magic circle.

The candlelight flickered in the triangle, illuminating an unspeakable mystery.

Suddenly, ancient and obscure syllables came out of Lu Zhen's mouth, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes dull, and each syllable penetrated the reality and reached some unknowable realm.

Suddenly, the candle flame shot up more than three feet high, and the color turned into an eerie green. In the shadows on the wall, countless faces seemed to be looming.

The next moment, Lu Zhen prostrated himself on the ground and piously recited the god's honorable name:

"The faceless immortal who has no form, no beginning, no end, and is eternal and immortal..."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room seemed to instantly fall into an abyss of darkness. All the light was swallowed up, and all the sounds were covered up. It was as if the world was left with only this absolute silence and coldness...

……

In the next image…

In front of Lu Zhen, the pure white fox demon phantom said in a dreamlike voice:

“It was my grandmother who asked me to stay in Bianliang City. She said that a god would descend here soon, and that the god who was about to descend had a close relationship with my ancestor.

“As long as I stay in Bianliang City, I will have the opportunity to pray to Him to avenge our Qingqiu clan and obtain Lu Dongbin’s head.

"As for Young Master, it was Grandma who asked me to follow him because he is the one favored by the god. Only by following him and helping him complete his tasks can I gain the attention and favor of the god."

Hearing this, Lu Zhen's handsome face suddenly became distorted, shock and fear intertwined in his eyes, and the mysterious symbol on his forehead appeared again, emitting an evil black light.

He asked tremblingly:

“That god… is it…” Jiu Ling Su Ying’s blurred and pale face instantly became sacred, and with a chilling awe, he whispered:
"His name is: 'Formless, without form, without beginning or end, eternal...'"

Lu Zhen didn't wait for it to finish and roared:
"No, don't say it!"

But the fox demon spirit did not pause at all, and recited the terrifying name without any hindrance:

“…The immortal faceless immortal.”

The moment he heard this honorable name, Lu Zhen's face suddenly showed a series of complex expressions.

Sometimes his face looked hideous and evil, as if controlled by some powerful force; sometimes he looked deeply fearful, as if he was facing some huge and irresistible threat.

All this made him look like he was suffering from mental split, with two different personalities constantly fighting for control of his body.

It was not until the end of the spiritual communication that Lu Zhen let out a long breath in response to Bai Yunrui's slightly worried greeting, trying hard to look as if nothing had happened.

The muscles on his face were slightly stiff, and his expression was trying hard to hide the tearing of his personality. He managed to force a smile:
"It's okay for me. It's just that forcing a high-level spirit to communicate is a heavy burden..."

……

The scenes of divination kept flashing through Li Qingyun's mind like a kaleidoscope, and past details appeared before him one after another.

As these fragments of memory reappeared, he soon realized a shocking truth: long ago, Lu Zhen had been corrupted by the Faceless Evil God in the process of communicating with the Wu Shi followers, and gradually became a devout believer of the Wu Shi followers.

The power of the Faceless Evil God has quietly penetrated into the depths of his soul through the spiritual world.

That calm and yet compassionate Fourth Brother Lu, the mysterious world's guide whom he had always regarded as his brother and trusted immensely, had long been corrupted by the evil god and fell into the control of the Wu Shi Cult.

At this moment, he heard Lu Zhen's thoughts again, but this time they were extremely clear, like a flash of light, but more like the confession of a dying person:
"Qingyun, Qiu Wang schemed against me. I looked directly at the gods during my spiritual communication. Evil thoughts planted seeds deep in my soul. They parasitized my body and gradually corroded my will without me noticing.

“This parasitism is very hidden. By the time I discovered it, it was too late. There was already another personality in my body. It controlled me and retained all my nature, but made me a devout believer of the Faceless Immortal.

"I thought about committing suicide, and I also thought about asking you to end my life, but every time I had this thought, I would be controlled by the power of faith and rewrite my consciousness. In this cage, even death has become a luxury...

"But just now, you disturbed my fate, allowing me to briefly possess my own will and speak my secrets without scruples...

"Thank you... Qingyun... Give me a quick death and don't let the Wu Shi Sect's conspiracy succeed..."

"..."

After listening to Lu Zhen's confession, Li Qingyun's heart was filled with deep fear and grief.

He could hardly imagine what kind of torture and pain Fourth Brother Lu had gone through. Not only did he have to watch himself being controlled by a belief that had no legal basis, but even his will was imprisoned in an invisible cage and was being eroded bit by bit.

This feeling of powerlessness made him feel like his heart was being cut by a knife.

But until this moment, he still hadn't given up hope of saving people.

Li Qingyun firmly believed that as long as he could kill the evil baby, survive this crisis, and prevent the Faceless Immortal from descending from the spirit world, he might be able to find a way to save Lu Zhen.

Even if he had to travel all over the country and traverse the heavens and worlds in the future, he was willing to take Lu Zhen with him to find a way to eliminate this strange pollution.

He believed that Lu Zhen could still be saved, and that his friend, his brother, still had a glimmer of hope.

However, at the moment when Li Qingyun made up his mind, Lu Zhen's mind suddenly changed, and he uttered completely different words.

The voice became cold and strange, as if another person controlled Lu Zhen's spirit and was giving orders to Li Qingyun:

"Li Qingyun, hurry up and leave. Remember what I just told you. Now is the time to escape! Don't think about saving me. I will complete my mission soon and return to the kingdom of the Faceless Immortal. I will become his most loyal believer and serve him forever!"

Li Qingyun was shocked, as if he was wrapped in icy cold from head to toe.

He felt that things were more complicated and terrifying than he had imagined, especially at this moment, when he saw Qiu Wang bringing Xiao Woli and Zhu Chengxi slowly coming here. These people had cold smiles on their faces, as if everything was under their control.

Qiu Wang spoke of their conspiracy in a lighthearted manner, as if revealing the final act of a drama that had been carefully planned.

Amid their hideous laughter, Li Qingyun watched Lu Zhenru kneel down in front of Su Yue'e as if possessed, her body completely transformed.

The mysterious mark on his forehead kept flickering and gradually turned into a strange crack. The darkness hidden in it seemed to tear apart reality and become a channel connecting the two worlds.

From the crack, disgusting tentacles slowly stretched out, carrying a terrifying evil power, twisting as if they had life, ready to infuse the evil god's power into the baby's body at any time, and truly descend to the world with the help of this container.

Li Qingyun finally understood that in Qiu Wang's plan, Lu Zhen was the last and most important link. He approached Su Yue'e from the very beginning just to hide by her side, waiting for the climax of the God's Descent Ceremony to arrive, and complete the entire ceremony by sacrificing himself.

The appearance of the Qingqiu Demon Lord was not so much to protect Su Yue'e and the fetus in her belly, but rather to protect Lu Zhen, the fuse that would eventually set everything off.

At the same time, Mu Guiying and others finally understood the core of this evil plan, and they attacked Lu Zhen one after another, trying to prevent the completion of the divine descent ceremony.

However, both the flying sword and the divine light were firmly blocked outside by a huge shield summoned by Su Yue'e with the power of the underworld.

"Qingyun! You are closest to Lu Zhen, kill him now!"

Seeing this situation, Mu Guiying was extremely anxious and could only shout to Li Qingyun for help.

At this point, she could only place her last hope on this young man who had repeatedly created miracles, hoping that he had not been completely destroyed by the power of the evil god and that he still had the strength to fight and turn the situation around at the last moment.

However, the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

Li Qingyun's body trembled violently in full view of everyone, and then collapsed with a loud bang, turning into a pool of flesh and blood, and instantly disintegrated to the ground.

He's out of control!

he died……
