I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 154: The End (Volume Finale)

The sudden change in the situation once again shocked everyone present.

Lu Zhen's sudden escape brought about a drastic turn in the entire battle situation.

"What kind of spell is this!"

Qiu Wang widened his eyes in disbelief, staring intently at the eagle transformed by Lu Zhen flying into the sky, his heart filled with turmoil.

As a "spiritual wizard", he naturally knew that the method of transformation was not a spiritual ability at all, but more like the legendary "Seventy-two Transformations" possessed by the martial arts gods in the upper realm.

Qiu Wang recalled that before choosing the sacrifice, he had observed and tested Lu Zhen for a long time, and even fought with him with the help of spirit seeds in Li Qingyun's dream.

At that time, he was very sure that Lu Zhen was only a spiritual practitioner at the third level. Although he had a strong spiritual gift, his strength was mediocre and not worth mentioning.

How could such an ordinary cultivator possess magical powers and spells from the upper realm, and have kept them secret until now?
Is he a demigod who has hidden himself in the human world by special means, or is he the favored one of some great figure in the spiritual world?
The more Qiu Wang thought about it, the more shocked and confused he became.

However, he had no time to think about it, as the current situation did not allow him to hesitate.

"Chase!"

Qiu Wang shouted loudly, then turned into a black shadow and rushed out.

At this time, Mu Guiying and others were already seriously injured, and there was also Su Yue'e, a sixth-level strongman, in the field. In this situation, no one could stop a fifth-level cultivator in good condition from escaping from the battlefield and just let him go away.

Xiao Woli also reacted quickly and snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied with this failure.

But he had seen the situation clearly and knew that Lu Zhen's escape meant that the divine descent ceremony had failed. If he continued to stay in the territory of the Song Dynasty, Mu Guiying and others would not let him go even without waiting for Lu Dongbin's return.

"I'll help you chase him!"

Xiao Woli stomped his feet, leaned back, and his body quickly merged into the shadows, forming an imperceptible black mist, and escaped after Qiu Wang.

When Zhu Chengxi saw his two companions leave one after another, he felt a slight movement in his heart.

He understood that Qiu Wang and Xiao Woli were nominally chasing Lu Zhen, but in fact they were taking this opportunity to flee in panic.

Since the God's Descent Plan has completely failed, continuing to dwell here will only lead to death.

Then he blinked his eyes, and his body suddenly became blurred, turning into a ghost with ghost lights flashing, and whizzed away in another direction.

……

Mu Guiying watched the enemies fleeing one after another, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

From making up his mind to die for his country to the shocking reversal of the war situation, everything happened in the blink of an eye. This is the greatest ups and downs in life.

Although she was full of doubts, she did not have time to guess the reason why Lu Zhen suddenly regained his free will, nor could she be distracted to chase Qiu Wang and others, because the more pressing danger had not yet been resolved.

As the power from the evil god from the upper realm was cut off, Su Yue'e in the field began to show obvious signs of losing control.

Her body underwent horrible changes. The clothes under her ribs and around her waist swelled, and tumor-like bulges kept wriggling as if there were living things struggling inside.

Suddenly, the tumors burst open and four red arms grew out from them.

There was no skin on that arm, revealing bloody muscles and veins. The blood vessels were bulging, emitting a strange light, and were filled with the breath of death.

At the same time, in Su Yue'e's bloody mouth, which had been cracked to her ears, the densely packed teeth quickly grew longer and appeared sharp. Her originally beautiful face instantly became distorted and ugly, like the "Impermanence" evil ghost from the underworld, with a green face and fangs, which was chilling.

The next moment, her body began to change in an inhuman posture. She leaned backward, with her eight limbs supporting the ground, making a creepy sound.

Her head turned 180 degrees along with her neck at a strange angle, with her bulging belly pressed upward, and the whole person turned into an eight-legged monster like a human-faced spider, staring at everyone viciously, with the hatred and murderous intent in her eyes pouring out like substance.

Mu Guiying looked at the monster in front of her and her heart sank.

Su Yue'e's out-of-control state is terrifying. As the "Impermanence" of the sixth realm, once she attacks with all her strength without regard for the consequences, the tremendous force she unleashes is enough to move mountains and fill the sea. It is definitely not something these people can resist head-on.

What is even more worrying is that if she detonates herself in this state, not only will the entire city of Bianliang be razed to the ground, but hundreds of miles around will also be razed to the ground, and millions of lives will be wiped out in an instant.

Despite this, Mu Guiying knew in her heart that compared to the disaster brought about by the evil god's advent, the threat posed by Su Yue'e could at least be controlled.

She had even prepared for the worst. If Su Yue'e showed any signs of collapse or madness, she would rush up without hesitation, hug her, and take her away from the battlefield to some uninhabited mountain to die together with her.

"Everyone be careful! The Evil Infant's pregnant mother has lost control!"

Zhang Shouzhen waved the whisk in his hand and reminded everyone in a deep voice. At the same time, lightning began to flash on his body, ready to take action at any time.

This senior disciple from Mount Longhu had just exploded his flying sword, and had lost most of his cultivation. He was left with only the secret Five Thunders Method passed down by the Tianshi Mansion. Facing the terrifying power displayed by Su Yue'e, no matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The air was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere. The war was about to break out and everyone held their breath.

However, at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, and two people emerged from it.

It was Lu Dongbin and Zhongli Quan who were dragged into the illusory world by the Qingqiu Demon King!
Both men were covered in blood and their clothes were a little torn, especially Lu Dongbin. The Huayang scarf on his head was gone, and his long hair was scattered in the air, making him look quite embarrassed.

Despite this, they still exuded a powerful aura, and Lu Dongbin was holding a huge fox head in his hand!

The pure white fur on the fox's head had been dyed red with blood. No one knew what kind of fierce battle the three powerful men had experienced in the Taixu Illusion Realm.

When Mu Guiying saw the two powerful men escape from the trap and kill the Qingqiu Demon Lord, a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to herself:

"Thank God, the Song Dynasty's luck has not yet run out. If you survive this disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future!"

Su Yue'e's eyes, which were originally full of murderous intent, slightly condensed when she saw the fox head in Lu Dongbin's hand. Although she had lost her mind at this time, she still retained her instinctive fear of powerful strength.

Lu Dongbin quickly glanced at the situation on the field and found that the evil god had not yet arrived. He was overjoyed and said hurriedly:
"The evil infant has not yet fully formed, so take action now!"

His voice was as cold and resolute as ever. Before he finished speaking, the Pure Yang Sword in his hand was already unsheathed. The sword light bloomed like a lotus and pierced Su Yue'e's forehead.

Zhongli Quan did not hesitate. He waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and the huge amount of true energy turned into a destructive storm, rushing straight towards Su Yue'e.

The two sixth-level powerful men joined forces with a clear goal, and without hesitation launched a fatal attack on Su Yue'e who had already lost control.

Su Yue'e let out an ear-piercing scream, and her eight limbs waved wildly, the power of the underworld sweeping over her, trying to resist this powerful attack.

However, the hurricane forceful force released by Zhongli Quan was like shackles, tightly tightening every joint of hers and imprisoning her!

At this moment, a sword light as bright as the scorching sun burst out in front of her!

When the powerful "Yang Shen" took action, his control over power had reached the pinnacle of perfection. All of his aura was restrained to one point, without any waste or leakage. The people present could not even feel the terrifying pressure of the sword that shook the world.

In their eyes, they only saw a dazzling light covering the entire arena, and then an unforgettable scene was engraved in their minds... The black barrier formed by the power of the underworld was ruthlessly torn into pieces like a piece of paper, and Su Yue'e's body was riddled with holes in an instant, as if pierced by countless sharp arrows at the same time. Countless beams of light radiated from her body, disintegrating her body in an instant.

The resentment and anger on Su Yue'e's face disappeared completely at the moment her life was about to end, and was replaced by a touch of calmness and tranquility, just like a traveler who finally reached his destination after a long journey, full of satisfaction amidst his exhaustion.

"my child……"

Her voice was barely audible, filled with complex emotions, and eventually vanished in the sword light as blazing as the sun.

……

After a long silence, everyone finally came back to their senses from the shock and refocused their attention on the scene.

There was only a small piece of charred ground left where Su Yue'e had stood, with a wrinkled baby lying on it, with a blood-stained umbilical cord still connected to its belly.

Next to the baby, there was a golden tablet quietly placed, still emitting a faint golden light.

The baby's little hands and feet kept digging around, but he didn't make any cry.

What was even more disturbing was that his two round black eyes were open, as if he was looking at this strange world with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Lu Dongbin stood beside the baby, pointing his sword at an angle with a cold look in his eyes, and suddenly stabbed downwards!

"don't want……"

Some people in the crowd couldn't bear to watch it anymore and screamed subconsciously.

But Lu Dongbin's Pure Yang Sword only lightly pierced the skin on the baby's shoulder and drew an ancient rune as fast as lightning.

The next moment, a faint light flashed on the baby's skin, and the rune quickly disappeared into his body.

Lü Dongbin then sighed deeply and said:

"This child was able to survive my sword. I'm afraid that only a demigod can kill him. I don't know what kind of disaster he will cause in the human world in the future..."

Zhongli Quan stood beside him, observed for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:
"Although this child has spiritual power and is very different from ordinary people, his body has not been possessed by an evil spirit. He is still just a pure and innocent baby."

As he spoke, he bent down, picked up the baby, and handed it to Mu Guiying along with the golden tablet, saying:

"This child has an extraordinary origin, and is both good and evil. We cannot predict his future fate. He may be a hidden danger in the future, but as long as he is taught carefully, he may benefit the world. Fellow Daoist Lu left a rune on him that can hide his evil aura and prevent him from being lured and used by people with ulterior motives. You can find a good family for him, hide his identity, and properly place him."

Mu Guiying gently stroked the baby's face and said lovingly:
"Since this child is not the reincarnation of an evil god, he is innocent. Please rest assured, Taoist priest. I will definitely find a suitable family to raise him."

As soon as these words came out, the baby seemed to have telepathic connection and started to giggle...

……

Three days after the war ended.

Lishan.

Mu Guiying stood alone on the top of a mountain, facing the wind, her clothes rustling.

Her face looked a little haggard, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. She looked up at the sky from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a small black dot appeared in the distant sky, and then quickly grew larger. It turned out to be an eagle, and it appeared in front of him in just a few breaths.

The mighty eagle flapped its wings and landed on a big rock beside Mu Guiying. It shook its body and turned into a tall and handsome young man in a green gown.

When Mu Guiying saw the young man, her eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion, and she asked:
"Are you Lu Zhen or Li Qingyun?"

Hatred radiated from the young man's black and white eyes. He pursed his lips and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"I'm Li Qingyun. Fourth Brother Lu is dead, but the murderer is still at large."

The cold mountain wind blew past, making his icy words even colder.

Mu Guiying nodded:
"I will mobilize my forces to find those murderers. They won't be at large for long. But I'm very curious about what happened to Su Yue'e that day."

Li Qingyun smiled bitterly and explained:
"At the last moment, I happened to know the secret of Fourth Brother Lu. He was plotted by Qiu Wang and bewitched by the evil god. Another latent personality appeared in his body, which led him to fall step by step and eventually replaced his will, wanting to complete the final sacrifice and achieve the descent of God.

"After knowing that this was irreversible, I had no choice but to take action. I used secret means to take away his fate, completely replaced him in the mysterious world, and then left the battlefield. Only in this way can the God's Descent Ritual be truly destroyed."

Mu Guiying's face was full of disbelief:

"You have the magical power to take away other people's fate? What is your origin? Also, since you took away Lu Zhen's fate, wouldn't the consequence be to bear his fate and complete the sacrificial ritual on his behalf?"

Li Qingyun looked at Mu Guiying and said calmly:

"Marshal, everyone has secrets, right?"

Mu Guiying was speechless for a moment, and finally said:
"You're right. I shouldn't have asked that. So why did you leave me a letter to meet you here?"

Li Qingyun said:
"I will be away from Bianliang City for a while. I hope Marshal Mu can take care of my friends in Kaifeng Prefecture and the brothers in Changle Gang for me."

Mu Guiying frowned and asked doubtfully:
"Aren't you going back to Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Li Qingyun shook his head:
"I have some urgent personal matters to deal with, so I have to go outside. And I have offended Zhao Dezhao, and he will hunt me down sooner or later. I can take this opportunity to make him think that I died in the ring, so that I can escape.

"I won't show up rashly unless I have trained to a level strong enough to fight him."

After hearing this, Mu Guiying was even more surprised:

"Zhao Dezhao? Are you talking about the Wugong Prince Zhao Dezhao who has been dead for decades?"

Li Qingyun nodded:
"That's right. He has never died and has even cultivated to the sixth realm. He has also colluded with many secret forces. I believe he has great ambitions. This is also the second reason why I came to you, Marshal. I hope you can make arrangements in advance and take precautions. But don't act rashly. The forces behind him are quite powerful. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble."

After learning this explosive news, Mu Guiying was shocked beyond words. She found that she could no longer understand the young man in front of her.

I remember that when I first met him not long ago, Li Qingyun was still a young man who had just come into contact with the mysterious world and had very insufficient cultivation and knowledge. However, within a short period of time, he has grown into a truly strong man who can stand on his own. It is really impressive.

Li Qingyun then said:

"General, I have a third thing to ask you. Please give me the two golden tablets of 'Taotie' and 'Chaos' for safekeeping. Together with the 'Qiongqi' in my hand, I will be able to locate the whereabouts of the last golden tablet soon. With all four golden tablets, we will be able to unlock the secrets hidden in Mount Li and rescue our respected teacher, the Mother of Mount Li."

Upon hearing this, Mu Guiying took out two golden tablets that she had prepared long ago and handed them to Li Qingyun, saying:
"In that case, you should take care of yourself."

Li Qingyun nodded:
"Thank you, Marshal. See you in a year."

As he spoke, he leaped off the cliff, transformed into an eagle again, and flew away into the distance. Soon he disappeared from Mu Guiying's sight.

Walking on the void without a formless form, soaring over the heaven and earth without a trace!
