I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 258 The Four Sea Dragon Kings
On the top of Mount Tai, the wind and clouds are turbulent.

On the altar, Pang Yu’s blood dyed the entire stone steps red. The purple-gold sword energy surged over his remains, as if to completely erase all traces of evil.

Li Qingyun stood steadily in front of Pang Yu's body, the long sword in his hand still emitting a majestic purple-gold glow, and his eyes were as cold as a knife.

He had just beheaded the culprit who had disrupted the court and caused unrest in the Song Dynasty, but he did not feel relieved at all.

Everything came too easily. Even though Zhao Dezhao was a martial arts master of the "Hunyuan Realm" and Pang Yu had the status of a god-favored person who could mobilize power close to that of a god, how could they have the courage to contend with so many strong men on the Tiangang List with just these?
Sure enough, just as Li Qingyun was about to put away his sword and stand up, Pang Yu's body suddenly twitched, and the mysterious smile on his face was more frightening than death.

"Hahaha... Li Qingyun..."

Pang Yu's hoarse voice came from the ground, as if coming from the depths of hell, carrying some indescribable resentment and pleasure.

He suddenly came back to life, and slowly raised his head as if he had a last burst of energy. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Li Qingyun, and a crazy arc slowly appeared at the corners of his lips.

"You think... that by killing me, you can stop everything?"

His voice was low and hoarse, but it revealed a chilling confidence.

Li Qingyun frowned slightly, raised his long sword, and shouted:
"Pang Yu, you are already a piece of meat on the chopping block, how can you still make any waves?!"

Pang Yu's eyes became more and more crazy, and the smile on his face became more and more ferocious. He spat out a mouthful of thick black blood, which flowed on the ground and automatically formed a strange rune array.

"Li Qingyun, who do you think Zhao Dezhao is? He is just a cover I threw out to attract the attention of people like you! From the beginning, the one I wanted to sacrifice was never him..."

"What did you say?"

Li Qingyun's pupils shrank, and a sense of alarm suddenly rose in his heart.

Pang Yu laughed, his voice suddenly became sharp:
"All of this is to welcome the arrival of the real god! Do you think my plan is for Zhao Dezhao? Foolish! Zhao Dezhao is just a self-righteous pawn. His dragon vein is what I value, and it is the real part of the sacrifice!"

Before he finished speaking, Pang Yu's body began to swell violently, and his flesh and blood turned into a ball of dark mist that quickly filled the entire altar.

In the mist, countless distorted faces and shadows of creatures could be vaguely seen. They were baring their fangs and claws, roaring softly, like monsters struggling out from another world.

"Li Qingyun, you will never be able to stop me. The sacrifice has already been made.

"As a person favored by God, my life is just the last key...hahaha!"

Pang Yu's wild laughter resounded throughout the heavens and earth. His body collapsed in the laughter, turning into countless runes floating in the air. Those runes emitted a strange light, connecting the sky and the earth, forming a passage between the spiritual world and the human world.

At the top of Mount Tai, a doomsday-like scene spread in an instant.

The color of the sky was swallowed up by thick darkness in an instant, as if countless black hands pulled down the sun and the moon and crushed them.

The foot of Mount Tai, which had once been so bright and shining, fell into a terrifying silence.

There was no more sound of wind or birdsong, only low whispers coming from the distant sky, like some ancient sacrificial language, invading everyone's eardrums with a rhythm of decay and madness.

The ground was shaking, as if a giant beast was turning over in the depths. Cracks spread like spider webs, and the black mist gushing out from the cracks was not only cold air, but also mixed with an indescribable evil aura, as if carrying an eternal curse.

In the thick fog, countless shadowy figures slowly emerged. They twisted and struggled, like aliens that did not belong to this world.

"This...what is this!"

Civil and military officials were already terrified and pale, and they all fell to their knees. Some burst into tears, while others could not even speak clearly, for fear that they would fall into these unknown terrors and become the next prey.

Suddenly, above the sky, a shocking crack appeared from the void, like an abyss that penetrated the sky.

The darkness that emerged from the crack was not ordinary darkness, but pure chaos. It had no light, no boundaries, and no hope.

From within the crack, there was a low groan from some existence. The voice was neither human nor animal, and it seemed to come from a dimension that no human could understand.

Every syllable of it cuts through people's minds like a knife, causing splitting headaches and mental confusion.

Li Qingyun's face turned stern, and purple energy rose from his body, blocking the invasion of the sound. But even so, he still felt a faint tremor of uneasiness deep in his heart.

At this moment, the dark sky suddenly lit up with golden-red light, followed by countless meteors falling from the cracks.

However, this is not a beautiful celestial phenomenon, but a sign of doomsday - each "meteor" falls from the sky with a burning black flame.

"boom!"

The first "meteor" fell and hit a mountain wall on the northern foot of Mount Tai. In an instant, the rocks collapsed and the mountain range seemed to be torn apart by the hands of a giant god, turning into ruins.

The huge tremor caused the surrounding mountains to shake and countless birds and beasts fled in terror, but were swallowed up by the flaming black fog in an instant, emitting sharp wails.

As the first "meteor" fell, more "meteors" fell one after another, hitting various parts of the earth.

Each one carried an irresistible destructive force. After the light balls shattered, monsters of various shapes walked out of them.

Some of them have scarlet tentacles all over their bodies, some have heads covered with eyeballs like octopuses, and some are just a mass of constantly surging black shadows.

"The creatures from the spirit world... are really beginning to descend..."

Zhongli Quan took a deep breath, his face turned pale, and the palm-leaf fan in his hand was shaking slightly unconsciously.

"This is the prelude to the war of gods!"

Lu Dongbin whispered, his eyes fixed on the depths of the crack in the sky, where there seemed to be an even more terrifying existence ready to move.

In that crack, a shadow with a huge outline began to appear.

The shadow was so huge that it even covered the entire sky.

Its outline is vague, but it makes one's scalp tingle at the sight of it.

Countless twisted tentacles hung from its body, each tentacle was as thick as a mountain and covered with densely packed eyes.

These eyes either bleed or spew out black mist. Each eye seems to carry some kind of irresistible curse. Just looking into them is enough to cause a person's mind to collapse.

Under the cracks, countless people were already lying on the ground, trembling in fear. Some had even gone completely insane, mumbling meaningless words over and over again: "The sky is going to end... The sky is going to end..."

Zhao Zhen witnessed all this, clenched his fists, and his voice trembled with anger and powerlessness:
"These beasts... actually messed up the world like this!"

Li Qingyun's face was as cold as frost. He took a deep breath, and the purple-gold sword in his hand burst out with a sword light thousands of feet long, like a ray of light from the sky piercing into the boundless darkness.

Wang Xuanfu gazed deeply into the crack in the sky and said slowly:

“I didn’t expect that the war between gods would eventually reach here…”

He paused for a moment, then smiled coldly:
"Unfortunately, this is the human world. We are born in this world and we will die in this world. What if the evil gods come? As long as we are alive, they will never dare to act rashly!"

"Not bad!"

Nezha held the Fire Spear in his hand and rode on the Wind Fire Wheel, looking very heroic. "I didn't get enough of the Second God War that year. Now is the perfect opportunity. Let me personally experience what this so-called evil god is capable of!"

The crack in the sky gradually widened, and the unknown giant shadow was slowly descending, while the "meteors" on the ground were falling more and more violently, and the entire foot of Mount Tai had turned into a sea of ​​purgatory fire.

At this moment, on the top of Mount Tai, golden light shone, and four majestic auras swept in from the void.

The sea of ​​clouds rolled, the wind rose and thunder roared, and the entire sky was suddenly divided into four different lights - the green light of the East Sea, the golden flame of the South Sea, the blood-red clouds of the West Sea, and the black ice and frost of the North Sea.

Every ray of light contains the most ancient majesty between heaven and earth, carrying the breath of ancient times, which makes people feel breathless.

"hold head high--!"

Four dragon roars shook the heaven and earth, and the sound waves swept across the area like a tide.

The next moment, four huge dragons broke out from the clouds!

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, has a slender body and jade-green scales, like a flowing ocean.

Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, was surrounded by golden flames, and his dragon eyes revealed an undisguised domineering aura;
Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, has a body as black as ink, and his whiskers are shimmering with strange blood, carrying a murderous intent;

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, was covered in thick black ice armor, and every step he took was bone-chillingly cold.

The four dragon kings stretch across the sky, overlooking the top of Mount Tai.

The entire world seemed to freeze because of their arrival; even the dark aura gushing out of the evil god's cracks slowed down.

The civil and military officials were dumbfounded, and some of them trembled and whispered:

"The Four Seas Dragon Kings... That's actually the Four Seas Dragon Kings!?"

Zhao Zhen's face was also filled with shock. He looked up at these four ancient creatures who had lived in the deep sea for a long time and were not contaminated by the world. The anger on his face diminished a little, but there was still a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Li Qingyun raised his head slightly and saw the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas coming, but he did not show the slightest surprise.

Before he confronted Zhao Dezhao and Pang Yu today, he personally went to the four seas and invited the four dragon kings to borrow the true dragon energy from them to make up for the loss of Zhao Zhen's dragon vein, thereby exposing Zhao Dezhao's true identity in front of the civil and military officials.

However, he didn't know why the Dragon Kings suddenly appeared.

At this time, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, looked down at Li Qingyun with a sharp gaze, and his voice resounded through the sky like thunder:
"Li Qingyun, a few days ago you took advantage of the true dragon's energy to activate the dragon veins of heaven and earth, awaken the destiny, and disrupt the balance of the dragon race. Today, I, the Four Seas Dragon King, have come to take back the dragon energy you borrowed."

When Li Qingyun heard this, his heart sank slightly, but he remained calm and said with a fist:
"Four Dragon Kings, I have a reason to borrow the dragon energy. The human world is in chaos right now. Pang Yu and Zhao Dezhao are ambitious and want to seize the dragon veins and summon the evil gods to the world. If we hadn't taken this opportunity, I'm afraid the human world would have already become a purgatory."

Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, snorted coldly, with a strong disdain in his voice:
"Human affairs should be resolved by humans themselves. We, the Four Seas Dragon Clan, only guard the sea borders and do not care about disputes on land. Li Qingyun, you have overstepped the boundaries by disturbing the balance of dragon energy."

Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, was not in a hurry to refute. Instead, he looked at the giant shadow in the crack of the sky with complicated eyes and whispered:
"However, the barrier between the human world and the spirit world has indeed been broken. If no one helps, I'm afraid the human world will completely become a battlefield for the spirit world..."

"The war between gods in the spirit world is no longer limited to the other world,"

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, spoke in a deep voice, like a landslide or tsunami, "Those evil gods have been spying on the human world for a long time. Pang Yu was just a chess piece. He sacrificed himself to break the barrier between the spirit world and the human world, which led to the true doomsday catastrophe."

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, nodded slightly, his eyes swept across Zhao Dezhao and the depths of the crack, his tone becoming more solemn:
"Li Qingyun, although you are guilty of borrowing the dragon's energy, you have exposed the conspiracy between Pang Yu and Zhao Dezhao and protected the dragon vein, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the human world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Guang raised his dragon claws, and a golden light flew out of Zhao Zhen's body, turning into a wisp of dragon energy, hanging in the air.

The golden light is dazzling and radiant, as if it is the purest energy between heaven and earth.

"This is the last true dragon energy in the world,"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea spoke slowly, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "Now that the dragon energy has been dispersed by your human world, my Four Seas Dragon Clan has no choice but to temporarily take back the remaining dragon energy to prevent the evil god from completely eroding it."

Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed with reluctance, but more of it was heavy helplessness. He looked up at the Four Seas Dragon Kings and said:
"Lord Dragon King, the human world is in danger. If the true dragon energy is completely withdrawn, I am afraid that the foundation of the human race will be unsustainable. By then, the evil god will descend and the human world will fall completely."

The Dragon King of the East Sea glanced at Zhao Zhen, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and after a moment he said calmly:

"If this is the fate of the human world, it is beyond the control of our dragon clan. Whether you can defend your country depends on yourselves."

After saying this, four dragon auras circled in the air and were gradually taken back by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

At the same time, a deafening roar came from the crack in the sky. The huge unknown figure was slowly descending towards the human world. The whole world seemed to have fallen into unprecedented chaos and despair.

However, Li Qingyun suddenly smiled coldly. He looked at the Four Seas Dragon Kings and said with determination:

“No matter if gods descend upon the world or if the apocalypse comes, the human world is still the human world! I, Li Qingyun, will defend this land with all my strength!”

The Four Seas Dragon Kings looked at Li Qingyun deeply, and Ao Qin sighed:
"It is worth it that my dragon clan has protected and blessed me for thousands of years because I have such a great man like you in this world."

After saying this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas flapped their wings and disappeared into the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

Li Qingyun looked up at the unknown giant shadow gradually approaching, tightly grasping the purple-gold long sword, with purple energy surging around him, and his eyes full of determination:
"The battlefield in the human world has finally begun..."
