What imperial henchmen? Please call me Your Majesty!

As night falls, Daoxiang Village is pitch black, devoid of any life, and even the surrounding insects are unwilling to come here.

Su Mu and Lei Yan lay in wait, but there was still no movement.

Su Mu looked around and felt somewhat helpless, realizing that it was absurd to ask him to solve the problem of ghosts and monsters.

However, the silence of Daoxiang Village was indeed unusual. After thinking it over, he went to another place to sit down, and after a while, he lit a fire.

Upon seeing this, Lei Yan exclaimed in surprise:

"Are you crazy? You'll attract that ghost, and you might even alert it."

"Waiting here is not a solution; it would be easier if you came over."

Su Mu doesn't care.

Since we don't know what that thing is, we might as well break the silence here and attract it to appear.

Lei Yan agreed, saying that waiting like this meant they had no idea if it would even happen.

So they went to Su Mu's side and warmed themselves by the fire.

"I'm going to catch some wild rabbits."

The fire was burning, and it felt like a waste not to roast something.

Lei Yan, however, was worried:

"No, what if that thing actually appears?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Su Mu didn't take it seriously and found a lush green forest nearby, groping his way there in the dark.

When Lei Yan saw this, he thought the man was very bold. He actually dared to walk over like that. Was he really not afraid that the thing was nearby?

Before Su Mu could even climb the mountain, he turned around and looked at the campfire and Lei Yan standing beside it, and frowned slightly.

After getting away, he discovered that, apart from the fire, the surrounding area was filled with a hazy black mist, which was rising from the ground.

The snake charm became invisible, blending into the darkness, and looked to the other side.

He drew his sword and began to wander around in the dark.

Until they arrived at a field, where a vortex swirled in the center, and the black mist was at its heaviest.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.

The black energy dissipated slightly after the stone fell, but quickly reformed.

Seeing this, his lips twitched, but he still didn't understand what was going on.

I wish I knew some magic or Taoist arts, then I wouldn't have discovered the key point but not know how to deal with it.

wrong!

He glanced at the sword in his hand, leaped into the air, and swung the sword, sending it flying towards the spot where it plunged into the ground.

As the black energy dissipated and then condensed again, the longsword lit up with runes, preventing the re-condensed black energy from gathering.

As soon as Su Mu landed, before he could even stand firmly, the ground began to tremble.

At the same time, the black aura became even denser, and even upward vortexes appeared, enveloping the longsword.

"Demonic energy?"

He didn't quite understand it, but he knew that there were evil spirits in this world, and that ghosts and incomprehensible things would always appear in certain places.

Without the black energy, he could figure out how to operate using physics. But with the appearance of demonic energy, martial arts, and talismans, it means even Newton wouldn't be able to keep it under control.

As the ground trembled, the spot where the longsword landed gradually bulged up, even lifting the sword higher.

At the same time, a dark figure, three or four stories tall, appeared, with two pairs of bloodshot eyes staring straight at him.

A sword was stuck in his head, but he simply pulled it out, shouted "Tai!" and threw it toward Su Mu.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu jumped back, and his sword fell to the ground as well.

After landing again, he leaned forward and quickly grabbed his sword, but was stunned when he faced the behemoth again.

Still a dark shadow, only two pairs of bloodshot eyes staring at him, and long, twisted black hands reaching out to grab him.

"No! Run!"

no way.

He's not easy to deal with either.

He immediately dodged and ran.

At the same time, the invisibility was removed.

Because he knew that if this thing could know his location even when he was invisible, then it must be even more powerful than him.

The only option is to meet up with Lei Yan and see if he has a way to deal with this.

He ran hurriedly, and the thing chased after him methodically. Just as it was about to get close, Su Mu shouted:

"Thunder Flame! That thing has appeared!"

Lei Yan, who was anxiously waiting, heard the sound and looked in the direction of it.

Su Mu was seen running hurriedly towards them. The place was dark, and he couldn't see anything at first, but as Su Mu got closer, he realized what the so-called ghost looked like.

It was taller than a person, and its two pairs of bloodshot eyes were staring at them.

"Holy crap! It's a huge one!"

Despite his feelings, he immediately drew his sword, unleashing his full aura. As he ran his hand across the blade, runes lit up on the sword.

Using all his strength, he swung his sword a few times in the direction he was getting close.

The sword energy, like a white rainbow, flew out, standing out conspicuously in the darkness.

Just as Su Mu arrived beside Lei Yan, the sword energy struck him. However, the expected thing did not happen; it passed right through the air as if it had just glided through it.

Lei Yan was startled!

"That thing has no physical form!"

Su Mu turned his head and looked at Lei Yan, asking nervously:

"Can you handle it?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Without a physical form, it can only scare people at most. We might not even be able to touch us while we're standing here."

Are you sure?

Before Lei Yan could nod, the thing's fist had already landed.

Su Mu pulled Lei Yan away and jumped away.

boom!

The fire instantly collapsed, sparks flew everywhere, and in the end only firewood and red charcoal remained.

Lei Yan couldn't believe it:

"What kind of monster is this? We can't even hurt it. Staying here is just asking for death!"

Su Mu watched as Lei Yan swung his sword energy again, but it passed through without any effect, seemingly proving to be an illusory entity.

At the same time, the fist fell again.

Su Mu pushed Lei Yan away, and the two quickly separated by a distance.

Upon closer inspection, a dent had appeared in the original spot.

Su Mu looked up:

"The injury might be to the head!"

Because the longsword had previously pierced the ground, the opponent was brought out, and most of the damage was to their head.

Lei Yan looked up and was immediately stumped:

"But this is too high, I can't jump that high."

Left with no other option, Su Mu could only look at Lei Yan:

"You attract its attention, I'll figure out the rest!"

"good!"

Lei Yan, being a man of honor, leaped forward and charged straight at them.

Su Mu watched and thought the guy was pretty fierce, but he wasn't sure if the injury was to his head.

I looked left and right, but couldn't find anything I could use.

Lei Yan has already engaged in combat.

The sound of the ground collapsing could be heard continuously.

Su Mu looked at it and wondered if the thing's hand was a physical object.

So he shouted:

"Cut off its hand!"

Lei Yan turned around and nodded emphatically again:

"good!"

As Lei Yan watched the opponent's fist fall, he jumped away and simultaneously unleashed two sword energies.

Su Mu quickly ran in that direction.

Boom!

The sword energy struck solidly.

Lei Yan was overjoyed:

"There's a chance!"

Just as he was about to call out to Su Mu, he turned his head and saw that Su Mu had already passed by him and rushed over.

When I looked again, I found that he had already stepped on that thing and put his arm on it.

Su Mu was in some pain from the sword energy, and was also lifted up when being pulled back.

Su Mu ran along the other person's arm, gradually closing in.

Lei Yan wondered:

"Can this guy see at night?"

It's incredibly difficult to walk on such a massive object in the dark; he might have been able to do it during the day.

Su Mu ran a certain distance and then leaped into the air again, swinging his long sword at his opponent once more.

shuh...

The flying sword swept past, swiftly piercing through those bloodshot eyes.

An ordinary sword might be fine, but this sword was specially made. After it passed through, the runes and magic power emerged and directly burned it.

A pitiful scream rang out, and two pairs of bloodshot eyes instantly extinguished one of them.

Seeing that this worked, Lei Yan then realized that the man had lost his sword, so he also threw it away.

"then!"

Su Mu saw Lei Yan throw the sword at him, and caught it just before it fell. In a turn, he exerted his strength again and threw it out, aiming at the other eye of the thing.

shuh...

An even more intense scream rang out, and at the same time, Su Mu also fell to the ground.

The distance was a bit high, and just as he was wondering whether to use his talismanic power, Lei Yan was already beside him and took him with both hands.

Put it down after it lands.

Su Mu was a little at a loss. Was this a bit too ambiguous?

But now was not the time to let their minds wander. A piercing scream rang out, and the two looked up.

The four- or five-story-tall monster roared as it slowly shrank until it returned to the ground.

There was a moment of silence...

"Resolved?"

Lei Yan asked uncertainly.

"No, something's not right! Go find the sword quickly!"

Because he could see that although the black energy was dissipating, it was also spreading outwards in all directions.

Lei Yan nodded:

"good!"

As the two men gripped their respective swords, the strange phenomenon changed once more.

Six black vortexes formed and expanded.

Su Mu and Lei Yan approached each other, back to back, staring at their surroundings.

Six crimson eyes emerged from the ground, slowly rising and elongating, forming a circle that surrounded the two of them.

Lei Yan was a little dumbfounded:

"What kind of monster is this?"
