Chapter 216 Havoc in the Underworld
"Hahaha!"

Under the dark night sky, Yan Chixia laughed heartily, brandishing his sword finger in the air. While dodging the lashes of branches, he wielded his divine sword, leaving sword marks on the tree demon's body.

Before long, the tree spirit's body was covered with wounds.

Crimson, blood-red sap gushed out, staining the soil in which it was rooted.

Seeing the tree demon's aura rapidly weakening, Yan Chixia knew the time had come. He immediately bit his tongue, spat out his blood essence, drew a talisman in mid-air, and suddenly flicked his sword finger upwards.

In an instant, the divine sword soared into the sky, splitting into countless sword lights.

The sword light crisscrossed into a net, strangling the branches in the air.

In just a few seconds, the sword light swept away all the branches in the sky.

Yan Chixia chanted the incantation again, his sword fingers trembling slightly as he pressed down with some difficulty.

"Shhhhhh!"

In an instant, the countless sword lights converged and condensed into a giant sword phantom tens of meters long in the air.

Feeling the terrifying pressure, as if a mountain were pressing down on it, the tree demon was terrified and hurriedly said, "Wait, I—"

"What are you!"

Yan Chixia interrupted the tree demon without any politeness, and said disdainfully, "Weren't you quite enthusiastic when you were whipping me just now? Now that the tables have turned, you know how to beg for mercy?"

"Unfortunately, I still prefer your unruly demeanor from just now!"

At this point, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he roared, "Demon, prepare to die!"

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the golden greatsword crashed down.

The dazzling golden light seemed to solidify, crushing the thick tree trunk into fragments inch by inch from top to bottom.

The tree demon granny let out a shrill scream, and all the roots that had spread out quickly contracted and burrowed into the ground.

"not good!"

"We must escape!"

Yan Chixia was startled and quickly gritted his teeth, pressing his sword finger down forcefully.

In an instant, the golden giant sword grew larger and pressed down inch by inch at an even faster speed, crushing the last inch of the tree demon's body before crashing to the ground.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the giant sword shattered into countless sword lights, completely crushing the last trace left by the tree demon on the ground.

Even so, Yan Chixia's expression did not improve, because a deep and dark hole had suddenly appeared where the tree demon had originally taken root.

By the light of the golden sword, one could also see the complex root system twisting and contracting inside the hole.

"interesting!"

A familiar voice came from the side. Yan Chixia looked over with a dark face and saw Lin Yu floating over. He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "This tree demon's skills are average, but its life-saving methods are truly unique!"

"If I'm not mistaken, her roots are everywhere on this entire back mountain."

"As long as a root system remains, sooner or later, she will be able to make a comeback..."

"Do you even need to tell me?" Yan Chixia said irritably. "Let's think about how to nip this in the bud first!"

"late!"

Lin Yu shook his head, glancing at the deep, dark hole below, and said, "Take a closer look. This hole left by the tree demon is more than just a burrow!"

"..."

Yan Chixia was slightly taken aback, then pointed his fingers like a sword and opened his Dharma Eye.

The next second, the cave in front of them changed. Although it was still as deep and dark as before, thirty meters underground, there were faint gusts of cold wind and white mist rising...

"Is it the underworld?!"

Yan Chixia exclaimed in shock and anger, "That damned tree demon has actually broken through to the human world and escaped into the underworld!"

Lin Yu chuckled and said, "The tree demon couldn't possibly be unaware that you and I were performing a ritual to deliver the female ghost, but she only took action after we found this place. Do you think that makes sense?"

Of course it’s unreasonable!
Yan Chixia said in a deep voice, "Does Senior mean that she has been preparing to escape into the underworld for a long time?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Not only... If I'm not mistaken, her backer is already waiting in the underworld. If you had acted rashly and chased after him, you would probably have been ambushed!"

Yan Chixia gritted his teeth and said, "This damned tree demon is really going all out!"

After saying that, he turned to Lin Yu and said, "Senior, you are a man of great experience and knowledge. Why don't you give me some advice and tell me what to do now?"

"Simple!"

Lin Yu smiled slightly, raised his hand and grabbed Yan Chixia's collar, then flung him downwards in his astonished gaze.

"Let's go!"

"what?!"

Yan Chixia's eyes widened, and his body transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the white mist of the cave below.

Lin Yu raised his hand and summoned the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, merging it into his body before taking a step forward and disappearing into the white mist.

In an instant, a chilling aura rushed in, and the mist before their eyes seemed to be drawn back like a curtain.

Will-o'-the-wisps lit up from the darkness ahead, then spread across the entire mountainside...

Lin Yu blinked and looked over with great interest.

Ahead, demonic energy permeated the air, so dense that it was visible to the naked eye.

In the place where the yin energy is strongest, a large black mountain sits atop cracked black soil.

The hillside was teeming with dense, dark shadows, countless ghostly soldiers arrayed in a dark, imposing formation. At the highest point of Black Mountain stood a high platform, upon which sat a ghostly, eerie carriage, guarded by eighteen clad, armored ghostly generals riding skeletal warhorses.

The two demon generals at the forefront wore black iron masks and each held a large black banner with the words "Black Mountain" written on it.

"They were definitely prepared!"

Lin Yu smiled, showing no surprise at the scene before him.

He was more interested in this world, rich in yin energy, than in the heavily armed army of ghost soldiers.

"Is this the legendary underworld?"

Lin Yu looked around at the world, marveling at it.

Although it wasn't the official underworld of the main world, its eerie atmosphere, imbued with a sense of majesty and order, did indeed fit his understanding of the underworld as a workplace for deities.

Good place!
It's a pity it's not his. If this place had really been abandoned by the gods and Buddhas, I hope he could take it over!

Just as Lin Yu was getting restless, Yan Chixia, who had entered this realm before him and ended up falling on his backside, finally got up from the ground cursing.

As soon as he stood up, he saw pairs of will-o'-the-wisps of eyes on the black mountain ahead.

Yan Chixia's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but swallow hard, muttering under his breath, "That damned old bastard! I asked him for a plan, and he threw me into the underworld. If I survive this ordeal, I'll definitely..."

"What?"

A soft voice came from behind.

Yan Chixia paused for a moment, then immediately changed the subject, saying, "I will definitely build a shrine for you and worship you day and night!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and looked at Lin Yu with a face full of joy, saying, "Senior, you've come in too?"

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, "Weren't you just an old man?"

Yan Chixia said seriously, "No, I was cursing that thousand-year-old witch. Senior, you are so handsome and extraordinary, how could you possibly be associated with the word 'old thing'!"

"Oh?"

Lin Yu said calmly, "How come I didn't know you had asked that old hag for her plan?"

Yan Chixia replied without hesitation, "What a coincidence, it was just before you came in."

Seeing that the guy answered fluently, Lin Yu finally couldn't help but laugh.

"I never expected you to have such a witty and sarcastic side."

"Driven by the threat of death, I had no choice but to do it!"

Yan Chixia sighed, then leaned close to Lin Yu and whispered, "Since you've come along, you must be confident. I'm entrusting my two hundred-odd pounds of body to you, senior!"

"Easy to say!"

Lin Yu replied with a smile, then turned to look at the army of ghost soldiers ahead.

At this moment, a burly figure emerged from Black Mountain. A sinister, triumphant grin spread across his heavily made-up, androgynous face as he roared:

"You Taoist priest, if you were to run away like this, then so be it!"

"I didn't expect you to be so persistent, you actually dared to follow me in!"

The Tree Demon Granny sneered, "This is not Granny's fault. It is Heaven's will to destroy you. It is your destiny to die here today. Your cultivation and flesh and blood will all be offered to my Black Mountain King!"

"I bother!"

Yan Chixia rolled his eyes and glanced at the carriage on the mountain: "That Black Mountain Demon, your taste is really bad. Even if you are indiscriminate in your tastes, you shouldn't have taken such a person into your house, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Tree Demon Granny became anxious and angrily shouted, "Hey, you stinking Taoist priest, what time is it, still spouting nonsense!"

As she spoke, she turned around, cupped her hands to the ghost general holding the flag beside her, and said, "General Guiying, do not listen to that Taoist priest's nonsense. Quickly send troops to capture him and present him to the Black Mountain King!"

"..."

The general known as Ghost Ying glanced at her, expressionless, and rode forward, waving the large flag in his hand.

The massive army of ghost soldiers began to move, each wielding a spear and shield and clad in black armor, taking a step forward.

In an instant, the sounds of thousands of footsteps merged into one, transforming into a thunderous roar. Strands of black ghostly energy rose from the ghost soldiers, condensing into a skull with swirling black mist above the army.

Even so, Yan Chixia remained fearless.

"Well done!"

He snorted coldly, raised his hand and made one move... two moves... but failed to summon the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

Yan Chixia's expression froze. He quickly turned his head and whispered, "Senior, the Xuanyuan Sword!"

"okay!"

Lin Yu placed his hand on his shoulder, pressing him to the spot, then took a step forward, gazing at the enormous skull composed entirely of black mist, and said calmly:
"After watching so many shows, it's time to stretch my muscles."

"I will take care of the Black Mountain Demon and his army. As for you, just go and deal with that tree demon!"

He paused, glanced at Yan Chixia, and said calmly, "Don't tell me you need the Xuanyuan Sword to help you deal with a weakened tree demon that has lost its original form and only has its roots left..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia's spirits lifted, and he immediately grinned and said, "As long as you have confidence, senior, I will accompany you to the end today!"

"it is good!"

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Lin Yu took a step forward, his figure instantly soaring into the air, and laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, today I will learn from Sun Wukong and accompany you to wreak havoc in this Netherworld!"

Before the words were even finished, a dazzling golden light burst forth, like a sun rising from the darkness, sweeping across everything in its path.
