On the Avenue.

Chapter 275 Beating
It was already dark when they left the town and arrived at Shennan Village.

Chen Shi looked around and saw that although Shennan Village was located in the Death Valley, there was no evil spirit around and it was surprisingly quiet.

The villagers of Shennan Village are not like those in other villages. They return to the village early at night, but wander around outside the village leisurely.

Some people even shot a roe deer and barbecued it outside the village.

Zhuge Jian said: "Tie Chi is in Shennan Village, so the evil spirits dare not come here. The godmother in the village is also completely useless and has nothing to do every day."

Chen Shi looked towards the village and indeed saw the wisteria. It was extremely old, probably several hundred years old, and its branches were like coiled dragons.

This vine is thicker than ordinary trees. It did not climb up the trees, but continued to grow upwards, reaching a height of about ten feet.

There was a young woman living in the tree, wearing a purple dress, but she looked pale and thin. After Tie Chi was born, Shennan Village was no longer threatened by evil spirits, so the village godmother became less popular and the incense offerings decreased, causing the godmother to look pale from hunger.

Zhuge Jian said to the crowd, "Let's wait a little longer. When the hour of Hai comes, the villagers will all be asleep. Only then will the iron chi start to move."

Chen Shi and his companions waited until midnight, when Zhuge Jian said, "Please wait for a moment. I will be back soon."

He left in a hurry. Not long after, they heard the rattling of iron chains. Chen Shi, Granny Sha and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhuge Jian dragging a monk towards them with chains.

The monk was tied by the neck and struggled hard against Zhuge Jian.

It seems that he should be a cultivator. His cultivation is quite strong and he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. I don't know why he was tied up by Zhuge Jian.

Zhuge Jian pulled the monk forward and said, "This monk is from Huaguang Temple outside Xijing City. A few days ago, several talisman masters from the Hongshan Society came to me and said that there was an evil spirit doing evil in the countryside, kidnapping many women and causing panic among the people. They searched for the evil spirit but couldn't find it. I rushed over and met the monk from Huaguang Temple. I saw that something was wrong with him."

He pulled hard, and the monk's neck was entangled with the chain, and he couldn't breathe. He suddenly became ferocious, and the muscles all over his body swelled and expanded outwards. In an instant, he became more than two meters tall, and sharp hairs on his body pierced his skin. He looked like a worm, with moth wings growing on his back and antennae on his head.

He looked like a wise monk just now, but now he looked sinister and fluttered his moth wings behind him, ready to fly away.

Zhuge Jian grabbed him and said, "When he was practicing Buddhist techniques, he must have been polluted by the moonlight and infected with evil spirits. The Buddhist scriptures record the practice methods of the celestial beings, and something went wrong when he turned into a celestial being! I saw that something was wrong with him, so I caught him off guard and captured him!"

Qingyang helped him hold the chain and asked curiously, "Where is the woman he kidnapped?"

"He was raped and eaten. I originally planned to hand him over to the government, but I heard that he was the mistress of a certain high-ranking official's wife in the city. If I sent him to the government, the wife would definitely come to rescue him, so I didn't send him to the government office."

Zhuge Jian handed the monk to him and said, "The evil spirit this man emits will soon attract Tie Chi. My cultivation is low, so I'd better withdraw first."

Granny Sha praised: "Xiao Shi, this young man is very capable and does everything well. You found a good person! After all, the other party is a Yin messenger, so you should also withdraw."

Chen Shi retreated with the wooden cart and the black pot, trying to find a high ground, but this place was a plain blasted out by the True God's eyesight, it was extremely flat, and even a mound of earth two or three feet high could not be found.

Zhuge Jian summoned his Nascent Soul. He was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. His Nascent Soul was in the shrine behind his head. He raised his hand slightly and his body flew up.

Seeing this, Chen Shi followed suit and also floated up.

The black pot was barking below. Chen Shi's mind moved slightly, and his Nascent Soul separated a stream of magic power, and the black pot floated into the air.

The floating of the Nascent Soul Realm is all caused by the Nascent Soul's magic power.

The Nascent Soul is not in the mortal world, but in the void, so it will not fall. The cultivator can use the Nascent Soul to travel back and forth.

If the Nascent Soul lifts up the cultivator's physical body, it can achieve the effect of floating in the air.

However, this is not flying, it will cause great loss to your cultivation level, and the speed is not fast and difficult to control, so it can only be used in emergencies.

For monks to fly, Buddhists can use celestial spells to transform into celestial beings with wings and soar into the sky. Taoists can use magic spells such as transformation and body transformation to transform into gods or birds and fly.

As for riding the wind, it requires a very high level of cultivation and consumes a lot of energy. It is difficult to practice in the Nascent Soul stage.

The wooden cart was bouncing and turning below, and he wanted to come up and take a look. Chen Shi still had some strength to spare, so he lifted the cart into the air as well.

The wooden cart fell silent, and the eyes on its body opened and looked towards Shennan Village.

Outside Shennan Village, Qingyang took out a sheep-driving whip from somewhere and started whipping the evil monk. The monk screamed continuously and his evil spirit became more and more intense.

Suddenly, a big man like an iron tower walked out of Shennan Village. He was indeed very strong, more than eight feet tall, wearing a black short coat, white straight pants, with his shirt open, and two bones protruding on his forehead, like a pair of small horns. He walked out of the village following the evil smell of the monk.

Tiechi walked out of the village, and the two bulging bones on his forehead grew rapidly. In an instant, two horns grew out of his head, and a demonic fire was blazing between the horns!
His body kept growing taller and stronger, smoke was coming out of his nostrils, and there was a shiny black iron ring hanging on his nose. He was several feet tall and strode towards Grandma Sha and the others.

His feet were like cow hooves, divided into two parts, and were deeply rooted in the mud. His hands were like human hands, but he had long nails that were sharp like hooks and were two or three feet long.

He came to Qingyang, stretched out his hand to grab the monk from Huaguang Temple, and with a sudden roar, he swallowed the evil celestial being transformed by the monk, including the chains, into his stomach in one gulp, and chewed hard with his sharp teeth.

The chain was a magic weapon that had been tempered through thousands of times, but he chewed it into pieces and ate it!
The monk called out twice in his mouth and then he died.

Qingyang looked up at the huge creature and said with a smile, "Is this the reincarnated Yin Messenger? He doesn't look that strong. The boatman and his daughter didn't lie, he really isn't very good at fighting."

Before he could finish his words, Tie Chi reached out, grabbed his neck, looked at him repeatedly, opened his bloody mouth, and pushed him into it!

"Take me as a demon?"

Qingyang was both shocked and angry, but he was indeed an evil spirit. He suddenly revealed his true form and transformed into a green sheep as big as a mountain. He broke free from Tiechi's hand that was pinching his neck, and with a monstrous corpse aura, he leaped up with his front hooves, raised his head high, and charged towards Tiechi!
Tiechi's body suddenly grew again, hundreds of feet tall. He lowered his head and exerted force, colliding with Qingyang's head.

"Oh!"

There was a loud collision. Qingyang was so weak that he was pushed back a step. The sheep got angry and shouted angrily, "Come again!"

He took a step back and rushed forward. The iron chi also hit him from below, and there was another loud bang, like thunder.

The trees around were shaken and rustled, and the sound woke up everyone within a radius of more than ten miles from their sleep.

Qingyang was knocked back several steps, then he gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, shouting, "I have never lost in a head-on confrontation with anyone in my life!"

There was another loud noise, and Qingyang retreated backwards. His two hind legs went limp and he almost fell down. He said excitedly, "Good! Good! We have met a worthy opponent, and we have met a talented general! Let's do it again!"

"Bang!" The two men collided again. Even though Tie Chi was extremely powerful, he still felt a little dizzy.

Before Qingyang could attack again, Hu Xiaoliang had already rushed over, revealing his true form as a celestial fox. His nine tails swept forward, and his magical power was so great that it suppressed Tiechi's strange power. His tails rolled like a tornado, wrapping around him layer by layer.

Tie Chi roared, exerted force with both arms, and tried to break free from his nine-tailed fox.

Granny Sha had already flown forward and slapped him on the forehead repeatedly with one hand, using one divine seal after another to compress his soul and make it shrink continuously!
Tie Chi's body was also shrinking continuously, and soon it shrank from a giant of several hundred feet to a normal size!
Granny Sha and Hu Xiaoliang teamed up to seal him.

"It's just a ghost messenger. It's too simple."

Granny Sha laughed and said, "I prepared all these firearms, but I didn't use any of them."

Hu Xiaoliang was still frightened and said, "If I hadn't taken the elixir that Xiao Shi sent me, which would have given me a few hundred extra years of life and restored my magic power to its peak, it would have been really hard to suppress him."

When Granny Sha's body recovered to its peak, she was full of energy and said, "It is true. Qingyang, with his brute force, was unable to defeat him."

Qingyang's two hind legs were still shaking a little. Hearing this, he said, "I'm already dead, so naturally I'm not as good as before. When I was at my peak, I was only stronger than him, not weaker than him."

Granny Sha smiled and said, "Yes, yes." Then she took out a rope from the basket.

Qingyang took it and stepped forward to tie up the iron chi.

He tied Tiechi's arms behind his back, and his legs were also tied up and bent backwards, and then his hands and feet were tied together.

Hu Xiaoliang looked suspicious and suddenly shouted, "Qingyang, you went to Da Nanhu to look for Ah Zhuo, right?"

Qing Yang felt a little guilty and shouted, "Where have I been? I won't go to visit that ungrateful person!"

Hu Xiaoliang sneered, "You still want to lie to me? His bees tie people up like this! You must have gone to see him, but you were stung by his bees, and you were tied up like this. This way of tying is called the inverted four-horse tie! You were tied up by Ah Zhuo's bees, so you learned this way!"

Qingyang was caught in the act and immediately blushed with embarrassment. Suddenly he came to his senses and said, "How do you know so much? You were also stung by his bees and hung up and whipped, right?"

Hu Xiaoliang felt guilty and said hesitantly, "I didn't. He is a heartless person, why would I go to see him..."

Chen Shi saw this scene from afar and felt relieved. He slowly put down the wooden cart and the black pot. Before they landed on the ground, he suddenly saw a figure passing by not far away at an extremely fast speed!

Chen Shi had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the man's face. It was the private school teacher named Yongnan whom he met in the town.

Chen Shi's eyes were full of the power of ghosts and gods. He saw that the private school teacher with a leopard head and round eyes had an extraordinary power in his body that was extremely rich and powerful, comparable to gods like Guandi Emperor, the Lord of Qianyang Mountain!
However, what is even more terrifying is that the evil energy of ghosts and gods from the underworld is rippling through his body and is erupting from within!
His robes turned scarlet in an instant, and his body grew bigger and bigger as he ran towards Grandma Sha and the other two!
Chen Shi suddenly realized: "In the Death Valley of Du County, there are two reincarnated Yincha! We caught the wrong Yincha. Tiechi is not Zhong Kui! Yongnan is the reincarnation of Zhong Kui!"

He immediately shouted loudly: "Sister Sha, be careful!"

But just as he opened his mouth to speak, Zhong Kui had already arrived in front of the three men. Qingyang had the most combat experience, and when he sensed the invading hostility, he immediately stood up, raised his hands to take off the two horns on his head, like two scimitars, and spun around to chop at the oncoming people!

An unimaginable brute force attacked Qingyang, his body shook violently, and the two scimitars flew out of his hands. Then the strange force hit him, and Qingyang heard the crackling sound of broken bones.

His body flew into the sky and revealed his true form in mid-air, but countless bones were broken!

He had suffered fatal injuries many times before. The last time was when he followed Chen Yindu to the underworld to rescue Chen Shi's soul. After being seriously injured, he knew his life was in danger. He was afraid that Chen Yindu and others would be sad and guilty, so he hid in Qianyang Mountain and waited for death.

This time, after being hit by Zhong Kui, these old injuries broke out again!

His breath was fading rapidly, but he was very happy in his heart: "I bought some time for the witch and the fox to react!"

Granny Sha and Hu Xiaoliang's reaction speed was not as fast as his, but as long as they could buy this little time, they would have a chance to respond instead of being directly attacked and killed by the intruders!

Just as he expected, Hu Xiaoliang reacted without bothering to reveal his true identity. He raised his hand and slapped forward, and his tremendous magic power collided with the divine power of the visitor.

He didn't have time to unleash his magic power before he was crushed backwards by the opponent's terrifying strength.

At the same time, Granny Sha leaped back, stood in mid-air, and activated the Taishang Bagua. The surrounding Bagua started to rotate, forming a bizarre scene of Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace. She raised her foot and paused, and the bluestone road along with the yin and yang worlds borrowed the power of the underworld!
Before she was ready, the huge red figure had already rushed into the air, stepped into the Bagua Furnace, and headed straight for where her real body was!
"boom!"

The bluestone road was cut into pieces, the Bagua furnace broke, and Granny Sha groaned. She was beaten so hard that her body and soul were separated and flew backwards.

She endured the pain, raised up caltrops that were more than a meter tall, and blasted them at Zhong Kui.

The first caltrop exploded with a loud bang, and blazing fire and lightning instantly covered the area of ​​dozens of acres. The thunder was interlaced, and it was extremely terrifying!
The blast even blew Granny Sha away!
Immediately afterwards, the second and third caltrops flew over, and six caltrops in succession sank into the exploding thunder and fire and exploded one after another!

As waves of air rolled in, Hu Xiaoliang quickly revealed his true form as a nine-tailed fox, swaying his tail to block the terrifying impact of the caltrops to prevent them from rushing towards the village below.

The seventh caltrop flew in front of the thunder and fire and was about to explode when suddenly a huge hand stretched out from the thunder and fire and grabbed the caltrop.

Granny Sha, Hu Xiaoliang, and Qingyang who was rushing over were all stunned. They saw a ghost god nearly a thousand feet tall, dressed in a fiery red robe, emerging from the thunder and fire. It opened its mouth, stuffed the caltrop into its mouth, and swallowed it whole.

The iron caltrop that was more than a meter tall exploded in his stomach. The ghost's abdomen bulged slightly and then flattened out.

Hu Xiaoliang ran over and Granny Sha landed on top of his head between his ears. Qingyang endured the pain, retracted his two swords, leaped over, stood beside the Sky Fox, and looked at the burly ghost that walked out of the thunder and fire.

"It seems that this Zhong Kui, who is not very good at fighting, is more capable than those Yinchai we have seen before." Qingyang murmured.

The blood-red robe behind Zhong Kui trembled, suppressing the thunder and fire in the sky, and he rushed towards them with his eyes wide open.

In the first confrontation just now, Granny Sha and the other two were already injured. When they saw him rushing towards them, they were about to meet him head-on. At this moment, a sword light flew towards them, and the moonlight fell on the sword light, which cut the Yin and Yang worlds apart.

The three of them immediately fell down and fell into the underworld.

Chen Shi activated the Youquan Youlong Sword to save Granny Sha and the other two, then immediately retracted the Youlong Sword. At this moment, Zhong Kui suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Without hesitation, Chen Shi activated the Youlong Sword, cutting through the underworld, and rushed into the underworld with the black pot, the wooden cart and the Zhuge Sword!
They had just fallen from the sky in the underworld when suddenly the sky of the underworld cracked open, and Zhong Kui's extremely huge face poked into the underworld. He had an iron face and curly beard, and looked quite hideous and ugly. When he saw them, he immediately stretched out his big hands and grabbed them!
As the black pot fell, its body became extremely huge. It caught Chen Shi, Zhuge Jian and the wooden cart, and ran away to avoid the giant hand falling from the sky.

It was extremely fast and soon caught up with Granny Sha and the others, threw them on its back, and ran away for its life.

And above their heads, Zhong Kui’s huge face seemed to be burning with red devil flames, and he kept reaching out to grab downwards!
