Chapter 253 You'd better avoid it (Please read, subscribe, comment on the monthly ticket)

Taiwu rolled up his sleeves, tucked the hem of his Taoist robe into his belt, and made a gesture as if he was ready to take action.

He also knows a little bit of martial arts skills, which is enough to deal with ordinary people.

"We're not looking for you!"

Just when Taiwu thought a fight was about to start, the black men with guns suddenly made way, and a middle-aged black man in a black suit and glasses walked out.

He said to Taiwu in English: "Asian, I am here for Constantine. I have no intention of becoming your enemy. Please give me some convenience!"

Taiwu can understand English but cannot speak it.

His serious face turned slightly, his eyes swept over Constantine who was trying to hide in the shadows, and after thinking for a few seconds, he finally put down his hand.

Taiwu walked towards Constantine, holding the whisk in one hand all the time. If there was any disturbance, he would immediately use the Five Spirits Magic to blow the place up to the sky.

But the blacks on both sides were very restrained and did not do anything out of line.

Taiwu said to the dodging Constantine: "These people are here to see you, go talk to them!"

"I have nothing to say to these gangsters."

Constantine tilted his body and looked at those ferocious-looking men, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Mr. Taiwu, these guys are from the underworld, they are not good people. You can just beat them down, there is no need to waste your breath."

Constantine did not hold back his words, causing the people blocking both ends of the road to raise their guns, but with no intention of pulling the trigger.

Tai Wu said dissatisfiedly: "You said this is the territory of the Midnight Father, and the people blocking the intersection are of course his people. It's easy to knock down these mortals, but if we anger the Midnight Father, do we have to fight him again?"

"There's no need to use fists to communicate something that can be communicated with words."

Taiwu's words gave Constantine a new understanding of this cold-faced senior brother.

He originally thought that the other party was old-fashioned and stuck to the principles, but he didn't expect that he could also be flexible.

"Alright alright!"

Constantine had no choice but to agree. Without magic, he was just a chain smoker and was no match for a group of strong men.

Tai Wu was unwilling to take action, so he could only bite the bullet and walk towards the middle-aged black man in a suit, showing a warm smile on his face and greeting him:

"Phoenix, it's been a long time since we last met. How are your two children?"

"Forget it, Constantine! Last time you cheated me out of a batch of precious herbs. I remember the whole process clearly."

When the middle-aged man named Phoenix saw Constantine, his face turned even darker and his tone became as angry as if he had taken gunpowder.

"If it wasn't for my father's order, I would use my automatic rifle to shoot you into a sieve right now."

The entire community did not welcome Constantine, but there was nothing they could do about this scoundrel.

It's easy to drive him away once, but Constantine will not give up until he achieves his goal, and will use all kinds of despicable means to force Midnight Daddy to surrender.

"Dad asked me to negotiate with you!"

Phoenix said with a gloomy face: "Just tell me what you want now. Dad will never see a scoundrel like you."

Constantine was not angry even though he was blatantly rejected. He smiled and said, "I came to Midnight Daddy just to seek an answer."

"Where have all the mages in Los Angeles gone? I visited every one of them today, but I couldn't find a single one. They all ran away, even their belongings were packed away."

Phoenix had a strange look on his face: "You don't know?"

"Know what? I haven't been to Los Angeles for a long time, so I don't have any channels to get the news."

Constantine waved his hand impatiently: "Don't beat around the bush. Answer my question and I'll leave right away. I promise not to bother you again."

Phoenix became serious, stared at Constantine who was standing loosely and asked: "Why are you interested in this matter?"

"Answer!"

Constantine couldn't just say that he was framed by Martin and others, so he had to ignore it.

Although he is a bastard and a scoundrel, he still cares about his own face and is unwilling to embarrass himself in front of his acquaintances.

"Well, the reason why the Los Angeles wizard left is simple! A month ago, the demons hiding in Los Angeles went crazy. They began to break the unspoken rules of the past and devoured the souls of mortals."

"Many wizards went to fight the devil to save those suffering souls, but they never came back. Since then, news has spread that the ruler of hell wants to drag Los Angeles into hell."

“After hearing the news, everyone fled, unwilling to be dragged into hell with Los Angeles.”

Constantine's first reaction was disbelief. Although those guys in hell had long wanted to take action against the human world, the holy spirits in heaven were not just sitting there doing nothing.

God is not here, the trumpet of doomsday has not yet sounded, and the devils in hell who want to attack humans will most likely be beaten up by the angels.

But Phoenix was very confident in his words, without any sign of lying, and almost all the wizards in Los Angeles were running away.

The combination of these two facts forced Constantine to start thinking about the possibility that it was true.

But Phoenix didn't give him a chance to think on the spot, and started to drive him away directly: "You have already got the answer, please leave! This community does not welcome you. When the devil crawls out of the ground, don't come here. We don't welcome you."

Constantine was so upset by the news he had just received that he turned around and left without even saying goodbye, returning with Taiwu the same way he had come.

The two quickly walked out of the maze, the complicated roads disappeared, and Midnight Daddy's bar was brightly lit and located in the open space.

Taiwu could see it clearly, but he couldn't get close.

Only after Constantine told him the news he had just received did he regain his attention.

"It's impossible to keep such a big thing secret. Whether it's true or not, we can catch the devil you mentioned and make it clear after one trial, right?"

Taiwu did not understand the concepts of demons and hell, but as Shushan was guarding the Well of Gods and Demons, he often encountered demon soldiers rushing out of the demon world, so he naturally brought himself into familiar situations.

Constantine originally felt that something was not right. Even he would not easily provoke the demons in hell. Those guys were too difficult to deal with.

However, looking at Taiwu who was as steady as a rock, he finally nodded: "You are right, if things are really as bad as Phoenix said, this is the best way."

Constantine became excited after saying this.

Their family's magic was inherited from King Solomon, and was a degraded version of the seventy-two demon pillars that King Solomon controlled.

Although they are degraded versions, these demonic magics are considered top-notch techniques in the mystical world.

The only problem was that King Solomon was blessed by God. Even though he signed a contract with seventy-two demons, his soul was still saved by God after his death and did not fall into hell.

Other inheritors did not have such good luck. Those who learned this magic without any protection were killed by the demons they summoned as soon as they embarked on the road of magic.

The Constantine family has been passed down for thousands of years because of demons. It is also because of demon magic that the life of every Constantine who learns magic is extremely miserable. John Constantine is the last bloodline of the Constantine family.

His father also learned the family magic and luckily survived, so he put the family inheritance away and never dared to touch it again.

Nevertheless, when John Constantine was born, his mother died in childbirth.

Constantine's father could not accept this reality, so he became a traditional father, drinking, beating his son at every turn, and forcing Constantine to start learning magic.

At first, they were just some small tricks, but when Constantine became an adult, he became full of youthful energy and turned it into a big thing.

When abnormal magical fluctuations occurred in Newcastle, he led the band members and friends in the magic world to the Casanova nightclub to check it out.

They discovered that Astra, the youngest daughter of the nightclub owner, could not bear her father's long-term abuse, so she summoned the beast from hell to protect herself.

Constantine planned to summon a higher-level demon to drive away the beast, but the summoning ritual went wrong and the demon Nergal cursed everyone present and dragged the soul of the little girl Astra into hell.

This incident became an indelible burden on Constantine's mind and was the direct reason why he became the bastard he is today.

"I've lived for decades, but this is the first time I've taken the initiative to cause trouble for those demons!"

Constantine was very excited. He found a place full of garbage and started to summon the devil.

Tai Wu didn't know Constantine's past, but seeing how excited he was, he reminded him, "Don't get too excited. Pay attention to your own spells. It's okay to make mistakes, but it would be bad if you hurt yourself."

Constantine began to summon demons with a vengeful mentality.

Although he had played tricks on Hell Lords like the First Fallen in the past, he had never taken the initiative in the war with Hell.

No matter how many times he wins, he still has to abide by the rules of hell. At most, he can make the lords of hell lose face, but he can't change anything.

But now, Constantine's face was illuminated by the fire of hell, becoming extremely hideous, and he wished he could bite the demon he summoned to death.

Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind. He only summoned a mid-to-low-level demon to avoid any accidents.

It was just past noon and the sun was slowly moving westward. Without a human contract host, the demon would not come out during the day.

But due to the restraint of Constantine's magic, a demon soon emerged.

"It went so well!"

Constantine looked at the demon gradually emerging from the vortex of flames and reminded Taiwu loudly, "My magic did not enter hell at all. It was this demon I caught in Los Angeles."

Finding a demon in the human world so easily made Constantine begin to believe what Phoenix said, that the demons in hell did have ideas about Los Angeles.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Constantine!"

A demon with a human shape, three heads, more than a dozen eyes on each head, and goat-hoof-like hands and feet jumped out.

The eyes on his three heads all locked onto Constantine in an instant. His big, fang-filled mouth opened, and a shrill laugh emanated from his throat. Black smoke and flames rolled out of his throat, filling the street with a pungent smell of sulfur.

"I originally thought that this trip to the human world was too smooth and not fun at all. Satan, you were sent to me."

"Who are you?"

Constantine's habitual bad mouth made the devil who spoke harshly furious.

People in their line of work are all about face. Constantine is a top star in hell, but he opened his mouth and said he didn't recognize himself. If this gets out, how can he be a devil in the future?
Constantine didn't mean it. There were simply too many mid- and low-level demons in hell, so he was too lazy to remember their names.

"No matter who you are, it's bad luck for you to meet me today!"

Constantine quickly slipped behind Taiwu.

Taiwu didn't waste time talking to the strange thing in front of him. He swung his whisk and used the Five Spirits Magic.

"Thunder falls!"

Boom!

Dark clouds rolled in and covered the sky above, strong winds rushed in, silver thunder shuttled through the clouds, then entangled together and struck the ground fiercely.

The three-headed demon did not smell any scent of magic, and his entire body was bathed in the thunder falling from the sky, taking a solid lightning bath.

"hiss!"

Constantine gasped as he looked at the demon that was constantly changing shape in the thunder.

"This method is really simple and crude. Fortunately, I didn't confront Martin at that time, otherwise I would have turned into a piece of charcoal."

Taiwu didn't have time to respond to Constantine's exclamation.

Although the demon was hit hard by the lightning and the surface of his skin turned into charcoal, he did not suffer any real damage.

The demon roared, and raging flames spewed out of the three heads. With billowing black smoke, it broke through the restrictions of thunder, muttered in demon language, grew in size, and rushed towards Taiwu.

Tai Wu pushed away Constantine who was not prepared to help, and shook his right foot downward. The ground cracked, and two huge cracks spread forward from his feet.

The running demon was unable to react in time, and its two hooves stepped into the crack, falling flat on its face.

He supported himself on the ground with his hands and was about to stand up when countless sparks slowly flew towards him. As soon as they touched the demon's body, they turned into bombs and blew him all over the sky, making it impossible for him to land for a while.

Then, Taiwu waved his whisk upwards, and a green tornado rose up, blowing the demon up and throwing it more than ten meters into the sky.

The black smoke on the demon's body dissipated instantly, and there was no place for him to gain support.

Finally, a huge waterfall fell from the sky, like a huge iron hammer, smashing down on the devil, extinguishing the hellfire on his body and pressing him into the crack in the ground, so that he couldn't even lift his head.

"Tianshi Talisman, seal!"

Finally, Taiwu ended with the Heavenly Master's Talisman. Blue talismans rose from the ground, extending countless talismans and turning into chains. They communicated with the power of the five spirits, tightly entangled the demon and pinned it to the ground.

"Jiligulu!"

The three heads of the demon lying on the ground were trapped by blue spell chains, and only the mouth could move.

"Cool! Brother Taiwu, your Taoist magic is so cool!"

Constantine was happy to see the devil suffer, especially when he listened to all the curses the devil said. He felt as if he had drunk a sip of ice cola in the hot summer, and his whole body felt relaxed.

He flexed his fingers and said, "Leave the rest to me. The scene may be a bit cruel. Brother Taiwu, you'd better stay away!"

Taiwu nodded and walked out of the alley.

Soon, the sound of a demon screaming could be heard from the alley.
