While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Kun raised the Thunder Department Commander high in his hand and chanted an incantation:

"Heaven follows the Way of Heaven, Earth gathers the Qi of Earth! Thunder is drawn into lightning, divine power is commanded! Open!"

boom--!

In this space buried deep underground, a series of deafening thunderclaps suddenly erupted out of nowhere.

Cao Kun borrowed the power of this world.

Every time he swung his sword, it was not just sword energy, but also thunderous power carrying the might of heaven.

Those pustular giant dogs and rotting human heads that pounced on us...

Before he could even see Cao Kun clearly, he was burned to ashes by lightning and fire in mid-air.

Cao Kun stepped over the embers scattered on the ground, approaching the clown on the wooden horse step by step.

"Can't kill them all?"

Cao Kun casually swung his heavy sword, cleaving a charging rotting bear-man in two: "Then I'll kill you until you beg for mercy."

Pennywise's smile faded.

It looked at the golden light and lightning flowing around Cao Kun, and a sinister glint flashed in its eyes.

"If the fear of these children isn't enough, is the fear of the entire town of Derry enough?"

It let out a piercing scream.

The walls of the cave began to tremble violently.

A series of illusions flashed across the wall:

A wife subjected to domestic violence, a bullied teenager, a factory destroyed by fire, extreme anxiety about old age, death, illness, and disability...

All the negative emotions that had accumulated in Derry over the past century were completely ignited by Pennywise at this moment.

"roar--!"

In pipes, in cracks in stones, on ceilings, and even in the air.

Countless monsters fell down like rain.

A spider with a human face, a nurse with her intestines hanging out, a charred corpse engulfed in flames, a butcher wielding a chainsaw...

Thousands upon thousands, countless.

Cao Kun was plunged into a true sea of ​​monsters.

He kept swinging his sword and casting spells.

"Five Thunder Orthodox Method, Fire Thunder, Burn!"

"From one to ten thousand, go!"

Large swathes of monsters were reaped, and golden and red light intertwined in the cave.

But as Pennywise said, these monsters were killed as soon as they showed themselves, but two or three more would take their place.

They were not strong enough to break through Cao Kun's protective magic, let alone harm Cao Kun, who was at the fourth level of body refinement.

But there are too many of them.

There was so much of it that it felt like the small space was filled with flesh and blood.

Cao Kun kicked a monster's head and smashed it, but his brows furrowed tightly.

Although he is now a seventh-rank Grand Celestial Master with immense magical power.

But there is ultimately an upper limit.

Even if one could borrow the power of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to borrow it indefinitely.

If he gets bogged down in this endless war of attrition, the consequences will be unimaginable when he is exhausted.

"Hehehe... Are you scared? I can smell... that unsettling scent..."

Pennywise remained seated on the rocking horse, even taking out a box of popcorn in the dark and munching on it as if watching a free movie.

Cao Kun shattered another wave of monsters. He stopped and stared coldly at the smug clown.

Ordinary spells cannot kill this kind of evil spirit rooted in the collective unconscious.

As long as people still believe in fear.

As long as the town of Delhi still exists.

These monsters can't be completely wiped out.

"Then I'll just destroy your true form."

"Purple Heaven Thunder Dragon Dao Body, activate!"

With a low shout, his bones emitted a series of popping sounds, like popping beans.

His body suddenly grew taller, his muscles bulging wildly like an inflated balloon.

The skin's surface has a glassy texture.

Tear--!

That meticulously tailored suit was instantly stretched to its limit and turned into shreds.

His latissimus dorsi and pectoral muscles, sculpted like marble and brimming with explosive power, were on full display.

Cao Kun's height has now exceeded two meters, displaying primal power in this dark cave.

"ah--!"

Monica looked at the man beside her, who suddenly transformed into a giant exuding a wild and oppressive aura.

She screamed halfway through, then forced herself to swallow it back.

Cao Kun scooped up the limp Monica and tucked her under his arm like a chick.

Lightning blazed around him, forming a hemispherical shield one meter in diameter.

"Get out of here!"

Cao Kun spoke in a deep voice, the sound of which shook the surrounding iron pipes, causing them to hum.

He strode forward, charging straight into the surging tide of monsters ahead.

boom! boom! boom!

This was a pure act of violent crushing.

Cao Kun didn't need to wield his sword; he simply charged forward with his powerful physique.

Any monster blocking the way, whether it's a giant dog covered in pustules or a charred corpse wielding a weapon...

The moment they touched his shoulder, they all made a muffled thud, then disintegrated into a cloud of black smoke like shattered porcelain.

He was like a bulldozer, forcefully plowing a bloody path through the mud and flesh underground.

Soon, Cao Kun forced his way through and arrived directly in front of Pennywise.

Pennywise's smile hadn't faded yet, and he was still holding the box of popcorn in his hand.

It stared at the two-meter-tall, muscular giant before it, whose entire body radiated an aura of extreme yang thunder and fire...

For the first time, a blank stare appeared in his bright yellow eyes.

"You...your body..."

"Die!"

Cao Kun completely ignored its nonsense.

He suddenly clenched his right hand.

This punch did not use any fancy talismans or spells; it was purely a peak strike from the fourth level of Body Refinement.

The lightning on the fist converged into a dazzling point.

"boom--!"

A loud bang caused the entire underground cavern to tremble violently.

Cao Kun's fist slammed heavily into the clown's pale face.

Without any obstruction, Pennywise's head exploded like a watermelon.

Next came its torso, limbs, and the old wooden horse beneath it.

In the face of absolute violence, illusions and curses are useless.

The horde of monsters that once filled the entire space was now densely packed.

They suddenly stopped moving at that moment, and then all turned into black smoke and dissipated.

"it's over?"

Monica lifted her head from under Cao Kun's armpit and looked at the shattered white cloth pieces and wood chips scattered on the ground in front of her.

His tone carried a hint of uncertainty, as if he had survived a close call.

Cao Kun did not relax his brows. Instead, he slowly straightened up and looked into the darkness at the deepest part of the cave.

"Hehehe...hehehehahahaha!"

A sharp, piercing laugh, filled with maniacal mockery, suddenly rang out simultaneously from every corner of the cave.

The white cloth and wood chips that had already turned into pieces mysteriously disappeared into the air.

Meanwhile, Pennywise reappeared unharmed beside the ditch on the other side.

It was still wearing that stained lace dress, and somehow a bright red balloon had appeared in its hand again.

It tilted its head, gave Cao Kun an exaggerated shrug, then grinned and let out a long, ceiling-shaking laugh:

"Violence... I like violence! But you still don't understand..."

It stretched out its long, bright red tongue and licked around the corner of its split mouth, its eyes filled with smugness.

"How can I die when my fear hasn't subsided?"

The white mist inside the cave churned more and more violently.

Those "childhood nightmares" that had just dissipated have once again emerged from the shadows.

Giant spider legs tread on the water's surface, and a chilling cat's cry echoes from the ceiling.
