Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 181 Life and Death

Ao Xiao Hongchen is definitely a representative figure of law-abiding goodness in Pili.

Li Xuanxiao didn't have much ill will towards him, but he certainly didn't like him either. What surprised Manager Li was that, at this moment and in this place, Aoxiao Hongchen dared to so blatantly come to smash the signboard of Youjian Pawnshop. His courage was truly commendable.

Yama Hanba, wielding a knife, blocked Lian Emei's path. Kuanglong Yishengxiao, with a look of enjoying the spectacle, also stopped Maha Jiezhe. Beichen Yuanhuang and Guiliang Tianxia, ​​standing to the side, dared not make any rash moves upon hearing the pawnshop owner speak.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a huge black-robed phantom appeared above the pillar of heaven, seemingly looking down on all living beings.

"Laughing at the world's troubles, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Uh!" Ao Xiao Hongchen stood up unsteadily, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with unyielding pride.

"The chaos and disorder that plagues the world cannot be tolerated by the Red Dust Sword. I only regret... Ah."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Xuanxiao looked at Aoxiao Hongchen calmly and said, "Under the whole world, only you, Aoxiao Hongchen, are a great hero, a gentleman, a sage who cannot tolerate even the slightest filth, is that right?"

"No need for further words. Youjian Pawnshop caused tragedy through the desires of the human heart, and now it will wreak havoc on the world with demons. It laughs at the intolerance of the mortal world. If it can do nothing, then it will die!"

"Indeed a gentleman." Li Xuanxiao sneered a few times. "Considering your many contributions to the martial arts world, Youjian Pawnshop will not pursue your offense today, but... you can be spared the death penalty, but... hehehe."

As soon as the words were spoken, two figures appeared on the top of the pillar of heaven. One was dressed in a yellow gauze robe and a pearl veil on her face, with a graceful figure. The other had blue hair, a feather fan, and a blue robe. His appearance was seven or eight parts similar to the deceased Tianyue military advisor of the underworld, Pingfengzaoyu Siwujun. Qin Jiaxian below felt his eyelids twitch wildly.

"Hey sister, first Ao Xiao Hongchen went and got into trouble, and then Si Wujun came back to life. It's really like seeing ghosts."

“Big Brother, you mean that person, really…” Ye Tuling was startled when he heard Qin Jiaxian’s words.

"It only looks like him, but if you really look at him, he doesn't have the same oppressive aura as the Four No Ones. But for someone like this to appear, what else could it be but a ghost? Oh dear, Ao Xiao Hongchen, he's really going to die now."

……

"Two lucky participants, would you be willing to exchange one gold coin, representing an admission ticket, for the chance to participate in this test game?" Li Xuanxiao spoke slowly as the shadowy figure floated in the air.

"Saloman agrees." The woman spoke without any hesitation, her voice light and melodious.

Meanwhile, a man resembling Si Wujun gently waved his feather fan and slowly nodded in agreement after a moment.

Although Lian Emei didn't know what the pawnshop was planning to do, she could tell that something was wrong. Just as she was about to make a move, Yanmo Hanba stopped her with a cruel smile on his face.

"Lian Emei and Ao Xiao Hongchen are courting death. Why bother with such a fuss?" The Demon Realm naturally wished for Ao Xiao Hongchen, a crucial force in the Central Plains, to perish, and would certainly not allow Lian Emei to intervene. On the other side, it seemed that Kuanglong Yishengxiao was fighting three against one, but neither Beichen Yuanhuang nor Guiliang Tianxia made any clear moves.

Xiao and Li Xuanxiao acted as if they hadn't seen the argument from beginning to end. As soon as the black figure finished speaking, two beams of light flew out and landed on Saloman and "Four No Lords" respectively.

Saloman's was a key necklace, while "Four No Ones" wore a pair of intricately patterned gloves.

"These two are, one is the key to creation, representing life and creation, and the other is the power to shake the heavens, whose ability is absolute destruction. Now, begin your performance."

As "Four No Lords" felt the power emanating from the glove, he even had the thought of turning around and snatching it away immediately. However, he quickly dismissed the thought. Since the other party dared to make such a move, it meant that the other party was not worried about him turning the tables and taking the treasure.

Thinking of the potential benefits of that gold coin, "Four No Lords" could only silently apologize to Ao Xiao Hongchen. Then, he pushed out a palm, and an invisible force descended. Before everyone's eyes, half of Ao Xiao Hongchen's body turned into pure dust and vanished in an instant. The force and ability were so fast that even Ao Xiao Hongchen could not react.

"Ao Xiao Hongchen!" Under the Tongtian Pillar, Qin Jiaxian and his companions howled like ghosts, but then stopped abruptly. As soon as the Creation Star emitted rays of dark purple light, enveloping Ao Xiao Hongchen, his half-ashed body began to rapidly regenerate, and the anger on Ao Xiao Hongchen's face was exactly the same as it had been a second ago.

Absolute destruction and creation, two forces intertwined, the arrogant mortal is constantly alternating between destruction and rebirth, which is both chilling and exhilarating to watch.

Regardless of the previous incomprehensible protection, who in the world could resist the power of either the Key to Creation or the power to shake the heavens? Countless people went mad for it, and thus, amidst the cycle of life and death and the constant shifts between black and white, he laughed arrogantly at the mortal world. Ironically, not many people cared anymore.

Lian Emei watched as Ao Xiao Hongchen was being toyed with like a plaything, and her anger rose higher and higher. Yanmo Hanba, who was always only interested in killing, conquest and battlefield, also felt a desire when he saw this scene.

The five divine artifacts possess such terrifying power that you could wield any one of them...

Thus, this scene repeated itself countless times until Ao Xiao Hongchen in the very center had gone from initial anger and surprise to anger, and even to numb anger. The once-powerful Hongchen Sword was now no different from a joke, becoming nothing more than a display device for Li Xuanxiao's work.

"All right."

Suddenly, Li Xuanxiao spoke slowly, and the Key of Creation and the power to shake the heavens that had landed on the two disappeared. At the same time, a feeling of reluctance and emptiness arose in their hearts. Then, Xiao Yi raised his hand, and two gold coins flew towards the two of them respectively, while Ao Xiao Hongchen fell into the dust, seemingly alive or dead, no one knew, and no one could explain.

"That's enough," Li Xuanxiao said. "Three days from now, at the Heavenly Pillar, I look forward to seeing everyone achieve their wishes."

After saying this, the black-robed phantom above the pillar of heaven gradually dissipated. Xiao took one last look at Ao Xiao Hongchen, who was dead and dying on the ground, and then walked into the passage of the pawnshop.

The unveiling of the five divine artifacts has come to an end. However, everyone knows that this is only the beginning. The power revealed by three of the five divine artifacts is enough to arouse even the sages' greed. The real bloodshed is yet to come.
