Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Li Jing swung his gilded halberd to block Beelzebub's sweeping tail, while Cheng Yaojin behind Beelzebub seized the opportunity to swing his black horse spear at his neck.

But the black spear was blocked from entering Beelzebub's body after it pierced his neck.

Instead, Beelzebub suddenly opened a gaping maw behind his neck and bit Cheng Yaojin's black spear.

"Zhijie, let go!"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly let go, watching helplessly as his weapon was devoured piece by piece by the mouth behind Beelzebub's neck.

"This monster is really troublesome!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Beelzebub laughed loudly, "Don't waste your energy, you undead can't hurt me!"

So hungry...

Li Moxuan clutched his stomach, his brows furrowed. This Beelzebub was practically a prison-suppressing child plus.

Not only can his own guardian spirit not harm him, but he can also absorb any attack and convert it into his own energy.

Since the undead can't hurt him, I'll have to try and see if I can hurt him myself...

Li Moxuan suppressed his hunger, raised the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd, and said, "Generals, step back. I'll deal with this dead fly!"

"Your Highness, let us..."

Xue Rengui was about to step forward when Li Jing stopped him, saying, "Your Highness has his own plans. If we stay, we can only replenish the monster's energy. Why don't we go back and reduce Your Highness's spiritual energy consumption?"

This……

The other three generals exchanged glances, nodded, and returned to Li Moxuan's body, which made him feel a little better.

Li Moxuan rushed forward and swung his Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd at Beelzebub. Beelzebub flapped his wings to dodge and flew into the sky.

Sure enough, the spirit master's attack was effective against him. Just now, when faced with Li Jing and the others' attacks, this dead fly was too lazy to dodge, but now he took the initiative to dodge his attack.

Beelzebub stared at Li Moxuan below and sneered, "I must say, your intuition is quite sharp. However, without the help of those undead, do you think you, a human, can defeat me?"

"Daydreaming!"

Beelzebub spread his arms wide. "Plague swarm!"

Countless red-eyed black flies flew out from behind him, heading straight for Li Moxuan below.

"The flames of karma spread like wildfire!"

Li Moxuan plunged the blade of the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd into the ground, gripped it with one hand, and seemed to have flames burning in his eyes, which instantly burst forth with scorching flames.

The red-eyed black flies that flew over perished in the flames. Seeing this, Beelzebub clapped his hands.

"For a human to endure the effects of my sin of gluttony for so long, you've done quite well, but that's all..."

He pointed down, "Look at your feet, you've already stepped into the dead zone!"

Li Moxuan looked down and realized that the ground beneath his feet had somehow turned into a black swamp filled with the smell of decay.

My body is sinking...

Suddenly, a bony hand emerged from the mud and grabbed his foot. Li Moxuan was startled and quickly swung his Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd to shatter the bony hand.

Just as Li Moxuan pulled his feet out of the mud and took a few steps back, Beelzebub's figure rushed in front of him, swinging his claws filled with the smell of decay.

The claws were blocked by Li Moxuan's Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd, sparks flying in mid-air...

The stalemate lasted only a short while before Li Moxuan found his feet sinking again. A pair of bony hands reached out from the mud once more, grabbed his feet, and tried to pull him down.

If this continues, we'll be dragged into it!

In a moment of quick thinking, Li Moxuan gathered his spiritual power into his hands, and the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd in his hands was instantly enveloped in scorching flames. Under these circumstances, Beelzebub had no choice but to temporarily abandon his offensive and retreat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Moxuan shattered the bone hand again and pulled his feet out of the mud.

He roughly figured it out: the mud beneath his feet was like a non-Newtonian fluid; if he kept moving, it would be like walking on flat ground, but if he stopped, he would sink in.

However, having been on an empty stomach, he already had little strength, and facing a powerful enemy like Beelzebub without being able to stop and rest, most people wouldn't have been able to last long.

Li Moxuan has only managed to hold on by sheer willpower, but he probably won't be able to hold on much longer. He must finish this quickly, or he'll be dragged down to his death...

Suddenly, Li Moxuan's pupils constricted, and he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by a hand. He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of black blood...

Black blood? Was I poisoned? When?

My body is starting to sink again, no...

Li Moxuan struggled to his feet and pulled them out of the mud once more.

Only then did he realize that the spiritual garment on his calf had been corroded, revealing a black wound.

It was poison from the bone-wielding hand just now...

"A demon should look like a demon..."

Looking at the poisoned Li Moxuan, Beelzebub's face was full of smiles. "As long as I can leave this place, what does it matter if I'm poisoned?"

Li Moxuan ignored him. At this moment, he was using his spiritual power to fight against the poison in his body. He couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of black blood. This poison was really powerful!

"Don't waste your energy!"

Beelzebub sneered, "This is poison created from my sin of gluttony. Unless you kill me, even the angels cannot save you!"

"Your Highness, let us go into battle!"

Li Moxuan refused Li Ji's request. This dead fly was too much of a hindrance to the guardian spirit. Even if Li Ji and the others were released, it would be of no use and would only increase the consumption of his spiritual power.

Of course, Li Moxuan could use the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl to swat this dead fly to death.

After all, even Xing Tian was suppressed by the Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl, so he didn't think this dead fly was stronger than Xing Tian.

But he didn't want to do that; at least not until he was at his wit's end, he didn't want to use the power of the divine pearl.

There are still a few stubborn elements inside that refuse to come out; perhaps this is an opportunity to force them out...

"Seeing you in so much pain, I'll relieve you of this suffering!"

"Myriad Devouring Shadows!"

Beelzebub's body merged into the swamp, and soon, a hundred-meter-tall demonic shadow, formed from countless wailing souls and filth, surged out from beneath the swamp.

The demonic figure stared intently at Li Moxuan with its crimson eyes, then opened its blood-red maw and charged towards him, intending to devour him.

Li Moxuan looked up at the charging demonic figure, his eyes showing no fear, and gripped the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd, which was burning with raging flames, to meet it head-on.

Fight!

Why aren't you running away?

Even Beelzebub, a demon who had transformed into the Shadow Devourer, had some respect for the human before him. After all, having the courage to face death was something to be admired...

But it's a pity I ran into myself!

Just as Beelzebub was confident that he would devour Li Moxuan, Li Moxuan slowly closed his eyes as he charged forward.

Immediately afterwards, a black flame ignited beneath his feet, quickly spreading to Li Moxuan's entire body, and even the flames on the Cloud-Shattering Halberd turned into black flames.

The surrounding swamp also burst into flames, turning into a black sea of ​​fire...

What's happening here?

Beelzebub was filled with suspicion and suddenly felt as if something terrifying was watching him.

Within the black sea of ​​fire, a pair of scarlet eyes stared intently at him; it was…

A black dragon?

And it wasn't the inferior demonic dragons of the West, but rather the more noble dragons of Eastern legends...

Chapter 46: Awakening the Power of the Ghost King

No, it's not a dragon, it just looks like one...

Before Beelzebub could think further, a general dressed in black robes and armor, with a tattered black cloak draped over his back, suddenly burst out from the black sea of ​​fire.

He gripped a spear of Yu the Great, bound with black chains, and pointed it directly at Beelzebub.

A guardian spirit?

Something's not right... the spiritual energy around me is a bit strange...

Who cares!

Beelzebub opened his gaping maw and charged forward, knowing that nothing could escape its fate of being devoured!

The black-robed general's figure flashed like a black lightning bolt, instantly piercing through Beelzebub's mouth and landing behind him.

How can it be?

Beelzebub was shocked. No one had ever been able to escape from his mouth, not even the archangels. Just who was this guy?

"Sing—"

A dragon's roar resounded, and from within the black sea of ​​fire, a black dragon suddenly flew out, so fast that even Beelzebub hadn't had time to react before it rushed into his mouth.

What are you doing? Feeding them?

Before Beelzebub could fully savor the taste, he suddenly felt something devouring the energy within his body.

Immediately afterwards, his body burst into flames as if doused with gasoline...

Are these black flames devouring themselves?

Beelzebub was furious when he realized what was happening. He was always the one eating other people's food, but now the tables had turned and the food was eating him instead!

He tried desperately to devour the black flames, but after he devoured them, the black flames began to devour him from the inside out, and he was unable to digest the black flames.

"You did this?! You bastard!!!"

Beelzebub roared at the black-robed general behind him, whose back was turned, but it was all in vain...

The black-robed general turned his head slightly, and under the gaze of his scarlet eyes, Beelzebub was swallowed by the black flames with resentment, turning into black smoke and dissipating.

After glancing at the Yu King Spear in his hand, the black-robed general slowly dissipated, revealing Li Moxuan's figure. The Yu King Spear in his hand also transformed back into the Cloud-Shattering and City-Breaking Halberd.

"Cough cough..."

Li Moxuan used the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd to support himself, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The blood was red, indicating that the poison had been neutralized. Beelzebub had not lied to him...
