Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 137 Clash of Good and Evil
On the Four Directions Platform, demonic clouds swirled, and the Demon Lord of the Otherworld, Yama Hanba, descended with overwhelming force. His terrifying power directly engulfed the Shadow Stream. The Universe Wonders felt an unprecedented pressure coming their way, and the other Shadow Stream soldiers trembled with fear under the crushing force of this demonic might.

"Well done!" Bei Chen Yuanhuang shouted, gathering immense Yuan Gong in his palm, which transformed into a stream of dark light that rushed straight towards Yanmo Hanba.

Seeing this, Yama Hanba neither dodged nor avoided, but let out a long laugh. Crimson demonic energy erupted from his body, transforming into a giant demonic palm, which met the dark stream of light.

With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth trembled, the ground of the Four Directions Platform cracked, and the bluestone slabs shattered into dust. Two beams of light, one crimson and one black, shot out from the sky and landed outside the Four Directions Platform. Bei Chen Yuan Huang, holding a spirit banner, stood firmly on the spot, her robes torn, her expression solemn; Yan Mo Han Ba, holding a sword in one hand, her battle robes fluttering without wind, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

"Coming alone, will you be invincible or a mindless brute, Yama Drought Demon?" Bei Chen Yuan Huang's voice was cold and sharp, like an ice spike piercing to the bone.

Upon hearing this, Yama, the Drought Demon, threw his head back and laughed loudly, his voice like rolling thunder, startling the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests into flight: "Do you know that killing a powerful expert is more exciting than wiping out an organization? Beichen Yuanhuang, hahahaha!"

"Do you think you can do it?" Bei Chen Yuan Huang stared intently at Yan Mo Han Ba.

Yama Hanba did not answer, but instead asked, "Beichen Yuanhuang, do you consider yourself a strongman or a king?"

"An interesting question." Bei Chen Yuanhuang didn't answer either, and asked again, "And you, which one do you think you are?"

"When wisdom is prioritized, I am the king; when force is used to show off, I am the strongman."

"Oh?" A surprised answer, a glint of light flashing in Bei Chen Yuan Huang's eyes. "So, are you now a powerful figure or a hegemon?"

Yama Hanba grinned ferociously, and Yama Desolate God Slash plunged directly into the ground. "Here and now, you decide who I am. How about it, dare to bet?"

An overwhelming sense of oppression constantly assaulted Bei Chen Yuan Huang, but Bei Chen Yuan Huang remained fearless, a smile appearing on her face: "Ha, the Demon Lord is indeed an extraordinary enemy, but this also proves one thing."

"Is that so?" A look of interest flashed in Yama's eyes. "Speak up and answer me."

“I, Bei Chen Yuan Huang, am a source of pressure in your heart.”

Pressure? This mere child dares to say he can become my pressure? Yama Hanba laughed loudly, his voice like thunder, echoing across the wilderness.

"As expected of a junior, you have guts. I still have some room in my heart for you, Bei Chen Yuan Huang, to consider carefully."

"Do you want me to become a strongman or a king?" Bei Chen Yuan Huang asked, using the words of Yama Hanba to guide the conversation.

"You really can't underestimate a young child, hahaha!"

"Unfortunately, I have already made my decision."

"Oh?"

Bei Chen Yuanhuang raised his hand, and the Five Absolute Auras of the Heavenly Demon rose from his body. The intense and pure demonic energy surprised even the Yama Hanba, who was at the peak of his cultivation.

"This demonic energy... the demonic arts you inherited are quite powerful!"

"Bei Chen Yuan Huang, now I will experience the power of a strong demon." Bei Chen Yuan Huang assumed a fighting stance and extended his hand in an invitation. "Please."

Yama Hanba's expression faltered slightly, then gradually revealed his fighting spirit. His laughter echoed between heaven and earth, and the wind and clouds rose and fell in sync with the Demon Lord's laughter.

"Good, good, good!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Yama Desolate God Slash was already in action. With a single slash, he split the sky, and the crimson blade light ripped through the air. Wherever it passed, space shattered, revealing pitch-black cracks.

Seeing this, Bei Chen Yuan Huang dared not be negligent, and raised his palm to meet the blade's light.

Three loud bangs followed as two figures clashed fiercely in mid-air. Blade light and demonic energy intertwined, transforming into countless dazzling rays that illuminated the entire Four Directions Platform. Bei Chen Yuan Huang felt her tiger's mouth go numb, yet she gritted her teeth and persevered, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes; Yan Mo Han Ba, on the other hand, grew stronger with each battle, every strike containing earth-shattering power.

"Killing one strongman is always more interesting than killing a hundred experts. Come, let's fight!"

……

……

From the primeval forest of the vast sea, hundreds of points of light flew into the sea of ​​clouds, gradually becoming endless. These points of light, illuminating the demonized earth, were the countless revitalized demon spirits of the demon realm. Each of them had a ferocious face and bared their fangs and claws, and they were surging towards the Central Plains. Wherever they passed, the grass and trees withered, the land cracked, and demonic energy spread, like a black wave that was unstoppable.

"How dare you cause trouble in the Otherworldly Demon Realm!" A clear shout came from outside the primeval forest of the Vast Sea. Immediately afterwards, the sound of a zither rang out, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, crisp and melodious, yet containing boundless power. The Xuanzong magic array was activated, shining brightly and sweeping away demons and evil spirits.

The zither's melody settles the heart of heaven; the profound Dao and the primordial essence cultivate true sainthood.

Two figures arrived on clouds, none other than the second of the Six Strings of the Xuanzong Sect: Xuan Dao Jiu Fang Chi, who played the zither, and Huang Shang Zi, who played the zither. Jiu Fang Chi held a zither, his fingertips dancing across the strings, the music transforming into sound waves that sliced ​​through the demonic spirits like sharp blades. Huang Shang Zi, on the other hand, used books as his weapon; his zither and books combined, and mysterious runes flew out, forming a powerful magic array that blocked the demonic spirits' advance.

At the same time, the sound of space cracking suddenly came from the Realm of Nothingness where the righteous people were gathered.

But then the three guardians of the Otherworld opened the way and launched a powerful attack, their momentum like a tidal wave, suffocating everyone. In an instant, Mu Shaoai, Tan Wuyu, and Jianzi Xianji were each drawn into one of the three completely different paths: the Path of Divine Nothingness, the Path of Heavenly Desolation, and the Path of Pardon.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Tianxian Daocang stepped forward to engage in battle, only to see demonic fire spread across the battlefield, and Tunfo Tongzi, wielding Zhuyan, arrived with deadly intent.

"Today, the situation will enter a completely new chapter." A wicked smile curled at the corner of Tunfo Tongzi's lips as he pointed to Tianxian Daocang. "Swordsman, please."

"Demon, humph!" Tianxian Daozang roared, drawing his sword with a flash of light as he slashed at Tunfo Tongzi like lightning. Tunfo Tongzi neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung his Zhu Yan horizontally, colliding with Tianxian Daozang's sword with a loud bang and sparks flying everywhere.

Outside the Realm of Nothingness, the Six Prophets led a group of demon generals to attack, but they saw the Buddhist decree clearing the way and the Rebirth Mantra being recited. The Holy Walker alone blocked the way, not allowing the evil demons to cross the line lightly.

"Killing is for the sake of protecting life; cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person!"

"Buddha Sword, speak your mind!" Ghost Knows' eyes were icy cold. "The righteous forces have collapsed. How many armies of the demon realm can you possibly hold off by yourself? Kill!"

With a shout of "Kill!", demon generals and soldiers swarmed forward. With the army encircling the path, even the might of the Holy Journey could not gain the upper hand for a time. Just as the flames of war were raging on all sides, in the deepest part of the Realm of Nothingness, Wu Dao, Yi Renyong, Ye Xiaochai, and Jin Bazhen were together. Hearing the constant sounds of fighting outside, all of them had solemn expressions.

"Jin Bazhen, the outcome of today's match depends entirely on you," Wu Daoyi said.

"Jin Bazhen will certainly not fail in his mission." As Jin Bazhen spoke, he took out a treasure pouch from his bosom. "Pingshan will surely fall to the ground!"

The army of the Otherworldly Demon Realm invaded, and all sides of the righteous path fought back with all their might. There were schemes within schemes and plots within plots. Jin Bazhen took the Seven-Colored Clouds again, which would be the key to securing the occupation. At this moment, outside a pawnshop, an ancient bell rang, and a figure stepped into the pawnshop. As the door opened, the figure sitting inside came into the visitor's view. Li Xuanxiao's gaze also passed through the hall and landed on the figure at the entrance of the pawnshop.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Queen of the Otherworld, Nine Calamities."
