Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 242 Like morning dew, the past days are filled with sorrow.

When Heitian Lie fell, the entire dense forest seemed to tremble three times.

Wei Yuan, sitting on Chen Xu's shoulders, was so excited that he trembled all over and almost fell off.

A mountain breeze swept through, and the deep, dense forest fell silent for a moment.

—Whether it's the chirping of insects at night or the roar of beasts in the distance.

No, there was an even deeper sound, a deep voice seemingly exclaiming in alarm: "Fellow Daoist, please spare him..."

The word "mercy" in "showing mercy" was never truly uttered.

Because at the very moment that Heitian was split in two and fell to the ground, blazing flames also shot out from Chen Xu's Wu Hook.

That's karmic fire!

The Black Sky Rift, split in two, was not completely dead yet; its left half of its head was still roaring furiously, "Ah—"

Thick essence blood gushed out, and it looked as if flesh and blood were about to regenerate on the other side, but the karmic fire on Wu Gou suddenly descended like divine fire from the sky.

As the saying goes, dry wood and raging fire will ignite at first sight.

Even with its thick foundation, Heitian Lie could not withstand the raging karmic fire at this moment.

Moreover, Hei Tian Lie doesn't seem to be as powerful and eerie as Zhu Xian Po.

Of course, it's also possible that Chen Xu's cultivation level has once again made a leap forward, which is why he felt that Hei Tian Lie was nothing special.

The mighty Black Monkey King reigns supreme over the mountains and forests.

At this moment, it was cleaved in two by Chen Xu's blade, and like dry tinder, it was ignited by his flames and burned to ashes in a few moments.

The words "Spare me..." only came to an abrupt end when the ashes rose into the air and were swept away by Chen Xu's flick of his sleeve.

The deep, resonant voice in the distance disappeared, and no one knew what kind of demon it was.

In short, the demon whose voice was long and loud enough to echo throughout the entire mountain forest fell silent and disappeared without a trace.

The ashes of the demonized Black Monkey King after his death, weighing three taels and nine mace, contain all his demonic energy and rich essence. When stir-fried with rootless water at midnight, they are made into Blood Essence Mud, which has the effects of strengthening the body, increasing qi and blood, and healing injuries.

It has remarkable efficacy, with the best results when taken internally; it can treat injuries sustained at the Core Formation stage or above.

nice one!
The Black Monkey King came to deliver it in the dead of night; it was truly an honor to refuse such a generous offer.

Chen Xu smiled faintly and recited in a long, melodious voice: "Let us drink and sing, for life is short, like morning dew, and the days gone by are many."

"With deep sorrow and lingering worries, what can dispel my grief? Only wine!"

Taking out a gourd of Drunken Spirit Wine from his waist, Chen Xu took another sip. The wine's fragrance and ethereal aroma drifted in the wind.

The little hedgehog sat on Chen Xu's shoulder, tightly gripping a piece of his collar, feeling that tonight's experience was yet another dreamlike illusion.

Its voice was still somewhat dazed as it asked, "Brother Chen, is that the Black Monkey King?"

Yes, from Hei Tianlie's ambush to Chen Xu's discovery and preemptive strike, and then to Hei Tianlie being burned to ashes, the whole process was as smooth as flowing water, as sparks and lightning, and as radiant as morning dew.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Hei Tianlie only had time to refer to himself as "this king," and didn't even have the chance to give his full name.

It died so completely.

So much so that Wei Yuan was in a daze, thinking that he had seen wrong, and even doubted his own judgment.

Chen Xu said, "It should be the Black Monkey King without a doubt, but whoever it is, I have no intention of provoking him."

"Since this demon had deliberately laid an ambush, I had no choice but to fight back."

Wei Yuan suddenly came to his senses and quickly said, "That's right. These battles in the mountains and forests have nothing to do with us, but who told this guy to come and ambush you, Brother Chen?"

It's so wicked! It attacked first, but Brother Chen retaliated without any problem.

"Squeak!" Just then, the little mouse in Chen Xu's sleeve poked its head out and squeaked, expressing its shared indignation at Wei Yuan's words.

Hey, the two little demons who used to be at odds are now getting along well.

Of course, in reality, it was only the mouse who disliked Wei Yuan; Wei Yuan's behavior was always humble and polite.

At that moment, the mouse made a "squeak" in agreement, and Wei Yuan immediately exclaimed with delight, "Ashi, you agree with what I said, right?"

Ah Shi snorted, but then whispered back, "I don't agree with what you said, I just think the scholar is amazing!"

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Chen is incredibly powerful. He can kill Ghost Kings, evil cultivators, and demons. Furthermore, his poems can be composed of wisps of smoke, becoming famous throughout the land. His writing is astonishing, and his brushwork is divine..."

Wei Yuan responded immediately, his tone proud and full of pride.

Ah Shi let out another soft "humph," but this time the sound wasn't sarcastic; it was rather cute.

The mouse said, "Of course, you don't need to tell me."

Wei Yuan then smiled happily.

A gentle night breeze carried the sounds of the mountains, making everything soft and subtle.

Chen Xu led the mouse and the hedgehog down the mountain, still following the moonlight as he made his way forward.

The world is just as vast as the sky and the earth, yet it seems to have changed in some ways.

I don't know when, but the clouds in the sky once again covered the moonlight.

The roads in the mountains were still clearly visible, and the night had a vast and tranquil feel to them.

Wei Yuan suddenly said, "Brother Chen, do you feel like there's something watching us from all directions?"

It is actually a little demon that lives in the wild and is not afraid of the night in the mountains at all.

But ever since Chen Xu killed Hei Tianlie, Wei Yuan has always felt that the surroundings are eerily quiet.

Even though Chen Xu descended the mountain and quickly left the Black Sky Rift Death Land, that tranquility still lingered, persisting for a long time.

This can be interpreted as the creatures in the mountains being afraid of Chen Xu, and therefore all of them panicking and hiding.

But for some reason, Wei Yuan felt a strange unease about the silence.

It's hard to say whether this is its own nature or something else.

But Chen Xu replied, "Ah Yuan, have you ever heard a saying? This is the opening act of a great show, and all the gods and spirits from all directions will come to listen."

"Huh?" Wei Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "The show is about to begin, all directions... ghosts and gods?"

It felt a little flustered, but remembering that it was next to Chen Xu, it quickly adjusted its emotions and forced itself to calm down.

Fortunately, Chen Xu quickly said, "Actually, they are not real ghosts or gods, but there are always some undead spirits in the mountains and fields that are different from living beings."

They did not truly become ghosts, lacked complete intelligence, and could not enter the netherworld, thus they were invisible to the naked eye.

However, they are easily attracted to various events and may unconsciously join in to watch the excitement at certain times.

For example, my killing of Hei Tianlie just now attracted a group of undead to come and see.

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Yuan understood, and the anxiety that had arisen from the excessive silence was finally completely dispelled.

It smiled sheepishly again, and looking at the night scene before it, it felt that the world was wonderful.

Then Chen Xu said, "The dead are wandering around here. There must be a ghost market nearby. A Yuan, A Shi, I said before that I would summon a ghost. Look, it has come now."
