One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

"Father...can we really get rid of them?"

The son asked weakly.

Shanqi clenched his fists, his eyes burning with ambition.

"Of course I can! I am destined to be an emperor, destined to achieve great things! Everything will truly begin once we return to Bincheng!"

In the wind and snow, the four figures gradually walked away, eventually disappearing into the vast snowfield....

Chapter 242 Overcoming Fear

"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound echoed in the Yin Palace, as if some ancient seal had been broken.

Shanqi's pupils contracted sharply as he watched helplessly as the seemingly harmless boy's body began to twist and deform.

Shuten-dōji's skin cracked inch by inch, revealing the blood-red muscle texture beneath.

His body swelled, his bones made a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound, and in the blink of an eye he broke through two zhang in height.

Sharp, horny bumps rise on both sides of the head, like two blood-stained scimitars pointing straight at the dome.

"Roar--!"

The deafening roar created a shockwave that made Shanqi's robes flutter loudly.

He instinctively took a half step back, only to see dark red mist rising around the monster, and fifteen blood-red vertical pupils opening one after another in the mist, twitching erratically.

"This...this is the legendary..."

Shanqi's Adam's apple bobbed; the pride of the Iron-Capped King's descendant teetered before absolute power.

Two pairs of the largest vertical pupils looked down at him from above, while the other thirteen scanned everyone in the Yin Palace.

The gaze was so real that Shanqi felt a stinging pain in his cheek, as if it were being slashed by countless blades.

A chill ran from my tailbone straight to the top of my head, and my legs went weak and numb uncontrollably.

"Lord Shanqi!"

The guards behind him exclaimed in surprise, but none of them dared to step forward.

Shanqi bit his tongue, and the taste of blood kept him barely conscious.

He forced himself to look up and meet the monster's gaze; his inherent pride finally triumphed over his fear.

"Shuten-dōji..."

His voice was hoarse, yet exceptionally resolute.

"It seems that the seal of the Tsuchimikado family has completely failed."

The monster grinned, revealing its serrated fangs.

"A thousand years of imprisonment... today finally... freedom..."

Each word echoed like muffled thunder in the dark palace, causing the candlelight on the walls to flicker violently.

Shanqi keenly noticed that although the ghost king's power was terrifying, his words revealed an undisguised weariness and boredom.

"The talisman is probably ineffective against the already materialized Ghost King..."

As Shanqi pondered to himself, his gaze swept over the cold, moonlit corpse of Tsuchimikado on the ground, and a daring plan took shape in his mind.

He suddenly burst into laughter, the sound of which seemed particularly abrupt in the Yin Palace.

Shuten-dōji's fifteen blood-red eyes narrowed simultaneously.

"Human... what are you laughing at?"

“I laugh at the Tsuchimikado family for their foolishness in imprisoning someone like you for a thousand years.”

Shanqi stood with his hands behind his back, as if he were facing not a terrifying demon king, but a worthy opponent.

"Now that you've regained your freedom, why not first enjoy some blood food to liven things up?"

The Ghost King's enormous body leaned forward, its fifteen eyes gleaming with a dangerous light.

"Blood offering...who do you wish to offer?"

A cold smile appeared on Shanqi's lips as he pointed to the ground.

"Tsuchimikado Tsukikage, and his clansmen in the side hall."

They imprisoned you for a thousand years, and now they repay you with their blood and flesh. Isn't that satisfying?

Shuten-dōji suddenly burst into deafening laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm.

"Cunning human...you want to use me to take revenge?"

"No."

Shanqi calmly took out a golden talisman from his bosom.

0 ······Requesting flowers··· ·········

"This is to fulfill your wish, and it is also an imperial edict."

His voice suddenly lowered.

"Besides... I understand what it feels like to be betrayed. Falling from a position second only to the emperor, you must know that anger better than I do."

The Ghost King's laughter stopped abruptly.

Fifteen blood-red eyes contracted simultaneously, staring intently at Shanqi.

Knowing that his words had an effect, Shanqi continued to incite others.

"There are many more living people outside the Yin Palace. You can vent your anger that has accumulated over a thousand years. Slaughter them all and let your blood wash away your shame!"

... 0 ....

Shuten-dōji's enormous hand slowly reached out toward Tsuchimikado Tsukikage's corpse, but suddenly stopped just before it touched him.

Shanqi held his breath, his heart pounding like a drum.

"millennium..."

The Ghost King's voice suddenly became low and hoarse.

"A thousand years of enslavement... have long since extinguished my ambition..."

It grabbed Tsuchimikado Tsukikage's corpse, and all fifteen of its eyes simultaneously revealed complex emotions.

"Now... I only want to end it all through slaughter..."

With a muffled "plop," the corpse turned into a pool of flesh in the Ghost King's palm, and blood dripped through his fingers, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.

Shanqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not relax in the slightest.

He knew this was just the beginning.

At the same time, the Eight Banners Arching Dragon Qi Formation is in the Zhen position.

"boom!"

A purple beam of light shot into the sky from the ground, and before the three Japanese pirates could even scream, their legs turned into a bloody mist.

Chapter 243 Rebirth Triple

They fell to the ground and were immediately overwhelmed by the Eight Banners soldiers. With flashes of swords, severed limbs and broken arms flew everywhere.

"Hahaha, so happy!"

Lü Ci laughed loudly and swung his fists, each strike carrying the force of thunder, blasting the soldiers in front of him into pieces.

"Lu Jin, are you alright on your end? Don't get stuck on a few paper soldiers!"

"fart!"

Lu Jin snorted coldly, and a dazzling white light condensed at his fingertips.

"Let me show you the true meaning of triple rebirth!"

Wherever the white light passed, the soldiers melted away like ice and snow.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, were like two sharp knives piercing into the enemy ranks.

Wu Gensheng strolled leisurely through the ranks of the army, and wherever he went, the soldiers vanished silently, as if "erased" by some invisible force.

He quickly walked to the front of the group and squatted down to examine the corpse of a Japanese pirate.

"interesting..."

He muttered to himself, his fingers dabbing at the still-wet blood.

“They have the Qishan mark on them.”

Chen Qi frowned upon hearing this.

"Qishan? Isn't that..."

"The headquarters of the Extraordinary Ones Alliance".

Wugensheng stood up, his eyes gleaming.

"Looks like they're planning something big tonight."

Chen Qi was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

He clutched his chest, his brow furrowed.

"what happened?"

Lu Jin noticed something was wrong and quickly moved closer.

"Heart monkey..."

Chen Qi's voice was low and deep.

"It's crying for help."

Everyone looked at each other.

The Mind Monkey is the manifestation of Chen Qi's inner demons. It has always been the one to tease others, and has never needed to ask for help.

A series of rapid sensations entered Chen Qi's mind.

"Urgent...urgent...the King...is in danger..."

Chen Qi's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He knew better than anyone that although the Mind Monkey was a demon in his heart, it was actually the true nature of his heart. It could not only reflect on itself and sort out the five elements, but also serve as an early warning system for his soul.

If the restless mind encounters danger, it means that a part of his soul is being lost.

"Gentlemen, I need to go ahead first."

Chen Qi suddenly spoke, his voice resolute.

"Where are we going? Let's go together!"

Lu Ci patted his chest and said.

Chen Qi shook his head.

"This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you all. Wugensheng is right; there might be an alliance of supernatural beings involved in something at Qishan. Go and investigate first. If you encounter a large force, assist in breaking the stalemate; if not..."

His eyes held a cold glint.

“Destroy everything arranged in Qishan.”

"But..."

Lu Jin wanted to say something, but Wu Gensheng stopped her.

"Let him go."

Wugensheng looked at Chen Qi meaningfully.

Some roads must be walked alone.

Chen Qi nodded gratefully, then transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
