Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 434 Let the tiger return to the mountain

"You're talking so much nonsense, are you trying to give yourself courage, or are you trying to trick me?" Yun Zhen didn't mind wasting time with him, because he could take the opportunity to take a break, and also let Cang Gui take Ji Anni to escape further.

"Don't worry, Zhao Ji will become my Shikigami sooner or later, I'm not in a hurry. No matter you are really powerful or you are deceiving everyone, there must be a battle between you and me. If I can't defeat you, I can't get Zhao Ji's fox demon. But before that, I want to know, how did you summon the Dragon God?" Yuan Rong's voice was filled with a sly smile.

"Do you think I will tell you?" Yun Zhen knew that he was most interested in various strange Taoist methods and was keen on subduing Shikigami. He was not in a hurry to fight with him, just to force him to tell him how to summon the Dragon God.

"You didn't say it because you didn't dare to say it, because you felt guilty and were afraid that I would expose your lies."

Following Yuan Rong's voice, the black snake entwined in the Road of Life and Death made a creepy "hissing" sound.

"It seems that you have already expected that I would use a sleight of hand." Yun Zhen sneered.

"What else? How could a mere child summon the Dragon God!" Yuan Rong absolutely did not believe that Yun Zhen possessed such strength.

Yun Zhen smiled without comment.

At this moment, the group of snakes on the ground suddenly became restless, and a gust of evil wind blew up in the Road of Life and Death, making Yun Zhen unable to open his eyes.

He subconsciously raised his sleeves to block his eyes, and at the same time the poisonous snake pounced towards Yun Zhen and launched an attack!

"Break!" With this short and powerful command, the poisonous snakes flying from all directions were knocked away by Yun Zhen with a silver halo.

But the spell was too intense, shaking the ground beneath their feet. Gravel slid down from the top of the tunnel like quicksand. The Life and Death Path, which had been damaged by an earthquake before, could not withstand the violent shock and nearly collapsed.

Yuan Rong laughed arrogantly: "You'd better stop this self-destructive attack. If the tunnel collapses, not only you will die, but also your beloved Zhao Ji!"

Yuan Rong himself was just a ball of miasma, with no physical form at all. He was not afraid of the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, nor was he afraid of the crushing of huge rocks. As long as the wind could pass through, he could pass through. That was why he did not need to open the mechanism just now, and he drilled into the Road of Life and Death from the other side of the stone wall.

If he continued to attack the poisonous snake, the tunnel would only collapse, and Yun Zhen would not be able to continue using those offensive spells.

The venomous snakes that were blown away slowly recovered. They made "hissing" sounds and looked for the opportunity to attack again.

Yuan Rong's wild laughter shook the tunnel.

Just when he was feeling proud, he suddenly heard a flute sound. The sound was ethereal and ethereal, like the music from heaven, but this was only for humans. For the poisonous snakes lurking in the tunnel, the sound of the flute was simply a soul-stirring devil's sound! The hissing sounds they made became more and more rapid and miserable, as if they were enduring great torture.

Yuan Rong took a closer look and discovered that Yun Zhen had a flute in his mouth.

Under the control of the flute sound, the poisonous snake did not dare to get close to Yun Zhen at all.

"Don't think you can get away with this!"

Yuan Rong roared, and the huge black miasma turned into a bloody mouth and bit towards Yun Zhen!

Yun Zhen was so busy playing the flute that he failed to completely avoid Yuan Rong's attack, and his shirt was torn into pieces by that huge mouth.

Yuan Rong turned his head in the air and rushed towards Yun Zhen again. Yun Zhen's fingertips lit up with two silver lights, ready to fight. But who knew that at this critical moment, Yuan Rong's movements suddenly stopped. He seemed to be frozen, floating in the air in a daze.

Yun Zhen thus got a chance to catch his breath, got up from the ground, and adjusted his posture. During this process, the sound of the flute never stopped for a moment, because as soon as the sound of the flute stopped, the poisonous snake would pounce on him mercilessly.

Yuan Rong stared at Yun Zhen’s naked upper body.

He saw that the muscles from Yun Zhen's right shoulder to his elbow had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a few black rotten bones. The rotten bones were a strange color, as black as ebony, as if they had been painted with ink, and they were not human bones.

If it were a human with a body like this, he would have died long ago, but Yun Zhen is still alive...

It only proves that clouds are truly a special existence different from humans.

Yuan Rong understood immediately, and murmured to himself: "No wonder you were able to break through the Ghost King's seal. So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

Back then in the Ghost King Cave, the Ghost King's seal that Yuan Rong had been unable to break was easily broken by Yun Zhen, so easily that it seemed as if the powerful seal was useless and did not exist at all.

Yuan Rong was puzzled, but now, after seeing Yun Zhen's strange body, he suddenly understood.

That’s right, the seal that the Ghost King used to block the Taoist priest did not exist for Yun Zhen.

Because Yun Zhen is not a human being at all, nor a Taoist priest, but belongs to the same group of demons and monsters as Ji Anni and Yan Niang!

"Haha." Yuan Rong's wild laughter stirred up a strong wind in the tunnel. "I didn't expect that you were practicing sorcery! It turns out that you are just like me, abandoning the right path and falling into the path of evil. However, you sold your body to the monster more than ten years ago!"

If Yuan Rong returned to the Ghost King's Cave now, he could also pass through the seal smoothly like Yun Zhen and Yan Niang.

"Shut up..." Yun Zhen felt a tearing pain in his head. The past that he didn't want to recall resurfaced in his mind, causing him pain.

He threw the flute to the ground and covered his head tightly with the hand holding the flute.

The group of snakes, freed from the sound of the flute, became agitated again, but they would not attack until they received Yuan Rong's order.

"I have long felt that the magic you use is very strange. It turns out... haha, it turns out..." Yuan Rong laughed loudly after finally finding the answer. It turned out that he did not lose to Yun Zhen, but fell into the demonic path one step later than the other.

"In that case, the giant dragon you summoned when you entered the palace is even less likely to be the Dragon God! Because the Dragon God will never be controlled by demons!" Yuan Rong's gaze was like an iron claw with barbs, firmly grasping Yun Zhen, leaving him no room for escape.

Yun Zhen took a deep breath and didn't want to answer, but Yuan Rong's rampant attitude made him unbearable, so he decided to fight back.

"That's right..." Yun Zhen slowly raised his head, "That's not the Dragon God at all..."

"What is that?" Yuan Rong asked hurriedly, eager to know the answer.

"It's the Demonic Dragon." Yun Zhen told him word by word clearly, "It's the Demonic Dragon - the Ghost King's Shikigami."

When Yun Zhen uttered the word "Ghost King", the miasma that Yuan Rong transformed into suddenly faded a little - he was almost scared to death by the word "Ghost King".

"Impossible, impossible... How could you control the Ghost King's Shikigami?" The trembling in his voice revealed Yuan Rong's fear.

"Because I made a contract with the Ghost King more than ten years ago. I sold my body to him and he gave me his power. You are right. I am not a human, but I am definitely not a lowly 'demon' like you... I am a ghost, a servant of the Ghost King, and a human shell that provides the Ghost King with a body. Do you want to force me to use the Ghost King's power against you? Do you want to see the demon dragon from back then?"

After Yun Zhen asked these two questions, the situation suddenly reversed. Yuan Rong, who was so proud just now, suddenly fell silent. He knew about the Ghost King Contract, the existence of the devil and the horror of the Ghost King, but he doubted the truth of Yun Zhen's words. He thought quietly for a long time, and finally said tremblingly: "Impossible... If you are a devil, why don't you kill me?"

"I don't want to use the Ghost King's power because I don't want to wake him up."

Although the key to the Ghost King's true awakening lies in Xue Lan, if Yun Zhen frequently uses the Ghost King's power and communicates with him, it will disturb the Ghost King's sleep and put his mind in a dangerously active state.

"Impossible... Impossible..." Yuan Rong refused to believe it and shouted angrily, "Don't think you can pretend to be the Ghost King just because you have a few strange bones! I don't believe you have the ability to defeat me!"

After roaring, he opened his mouth wide and bit Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen didn't even try to dodge. He just opened his five fingers and grabbed Yuan Rong's huge face that almost merged with the darkness.

In an instant, the black miasma broke into pieces and was broken into six small balls by Yun Zhen's five open fingers.

Yuan Rong let out a heart-wrenching scream, which was even more terrifying than the howling of ghosts and wolves. It was like the final wail of a person who had been torn to pieces by a chariot, and Yun Zhen's hair stood up when he heard it.

The little snakes in the tunnel fell silent, as if they were frightened by the special move Yun Zhen had just revealed, or as if they were shocked by Yuan Rong's screams.

Yuan Rong was not dead. The small ball that was torn apart collided with each other in the air, eager to merge into each other again.

If Yun really wanted to, he could have separated these small groups again, but he didn't. He quietly waited for Yuan Rong to recover.

"Why don't you kill me... You are fully capable of killing me..." Yuan Rong's voice trembled slightly with fear.

"I won't kill you, but you must never provoke me. I can let you go this time, but if you dare to hurt Ji Anni... I will make your soul fly to pieces and you will never be resurrected." Yun Zhen threatened.

He couldn't let Yuan Rong know his weakness.

He didn't kill Yuan Rong not because he couldn't, but because he didn't dare.

If the Ghost King really resurrects in the future and his body is taken away by the Ghost King, who will be able to subdue the Ghost King at that time?

Yuan Rong... maybe only Yuan Rong can...

He must keep Yuan Rong, he must keep him, so that one day he can kill the Ghost King who was resurrected through his body.

The reason for not killing him is that he would kill himself if he were kept alive.

At this time, Yuan Rong's miasma had condensed into a complete ball. Although he didn't understand why Yun Zhen let him go, he didn't dare to stay here for long because he was defeated, fearing that Yun Zhen would suddenly change his mind.

"I will never give up on Zhao Ji. As long as you don't kill me, I will do everything I can to make Zhao Ji my shikigami!"

Leaving this sentence behind, Yuan Rong and his black snake disappeared in the Road of Life and Death at the fastest speed.
