Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 93 Thunder and Lightning King! Yin and Yang in Harmony!
Boom boom boom! !
The four underworld messengers joined forces, their combined power shaking the heavens and the earth.

The red-clad ghost's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, a flash of blood-red light appeared around its body as it attempted to flee.

However, since the underworld messengers possess the divine status of the underworld gods, the ghost domains they unleash have an absolute suppressive effect on ghosts of the same level.

At this moment, the four ghost domains emerged simultaneously, layering upon each other to form a confinement domain!
Can't escape!
There was absolutely no chance of escaping!
Seeing the mourning staff, the soul-locking chain, the ghost-slaying whip, the Asura axe...

The four magical treasures of the underworld are already upon us.

"Roar!!"

The red-clad ghost let out a desperate howl, its crimson eyes churning with bloodlust, its once alluring face twisted to the extreme, as if it had made the most resolute and insane choice in the blink of an eye!

"Crash!!!"

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

A dazzling golden arc of lightning suddenly exploded from its chest!
The lightning blazed fiercely, forming a violent thunderous shockwave that spread outwards from its center, sweeping towards the four underworld messengers!

This scene was too sudden and too unbelievable!
Not to mention that Lu Chen was caught off guard, even the four seasoned Yin Messengers were caught off guard by this attack that was completely beyond reason!

In the blink of an eye, the four underworld messengers had no choice but to hastily switch from offense to defense, unleashing their immense and unpredictable power to form a barrier in front of them, and withstand this incredible... "thunder magic" attack.
"puff!!"

After the thunderclap, the red-clad ghost suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick black blood, and the originally surging ghostly aura around it instantly weakened by more than half.

Clearly, it had paid a great price to forcefully execute that lightning magic technique.

But it also seized this fleeting opportunity while the four Yin Messengers were defending and blocking!

"Whoosh!!"

The blood-red light rose again, transforming into a chilling red streak, and fled towards the "school gate" of the ghost realm at an astonishing speed!

"This ghost... it can actually use lightning magic?! This... how is this possible?!"

Lu Chen was deeply shaken.

No time to think.

The Yama's Decree on the back of his hand suddenly emitted a deep, dark light!
"Pitch black!"

"Wow!"

The "Ghost Realm" unfolds!

The overwhelming black mist suddenly resembled a surging black river.

It spread at an extremely fast speed, chasing after that fleeing red light!
"Where to run!!!"

At the same time, the four Yin Messengers, empowered by the [Black Demon], experienced an even greater increase in speed!

Although Lu Chen's Ghost Domain is currently only in its embryonic form.

But after all, it originated from the ghostly power of Yama, the righteous god!
Even under the urging of the King of Hell's decree, it can only display two or three tenths of its power, but it is an unprecedented enhancement to the ghost realms of the four great underworld officials!
In an instant, the four ghost domains seemed to be activated, their power multiplied.

Surprisingly, they arrived first despite being late, instantly surpassing the fleeing red-clad ghost and forming an indestructible black barrier that completely blocked all its escape routes!
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The sound of something cutting through the air rose again!

The Soul-Locking Chains emerged like a black dragon from its cave, while the Ghost-Slaying Whip soared like a serpent, first wrapping around the feet of the red-clad vengeful ghost!
"what--!!!"

The excruciating pain that seemed to rip out one's soul instantly caused the red-clad fiend to let out an extremely shrill scream.

In desperation, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes again, and two slightly dim golden lightning bolts burst forth from its mouth, shooting straight at Fan Rusong and Ma Mian!
"Moo!"

A deep, muffled roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
The bull-headed creature suddenly stomped forward, blocking the two underworld officials.

It opened its blood-red maw, and a stream of black and red flames spewed out—the infamous Hellfire of the Underworld!

The most yang lightning and the most yin hellfire collided violently!
"boom!!!!!"

The deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire ghost realm, and the violent ghost power surged in all directions, pushing the already crumbling red-clothed ghost realm to its limit, causing it to shatter rapidly once again!
At this moment!
A white figure leaped up like a ghost!

Xie Qingyi's face was ashen. She swung her mourning staff, creating a chilling and piercing gust of wind, as if countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts were wailing and demanding her life!
The wind is as sharp as a blade!

Without giving it the slightest chance, it silently sliced ​​through the neck of the red-clothed demon!
Instantly, the hideous head separated from the body.

The head rolled several times on the ground, howling in despair, "Do you know who I am..."

Before the words were finished, the head, along with the bound torso, quickly dissipated into a wisp of black smoke and vanished completely.

With the death of the fierce and wicked woman in red, the ghostly realm she created naturally dissipated.

The scene before me distorted and blurred for a moment, then stabilized again.

It has been restored to its original state as a tree-lined path.

"Are you guys okay?"

Lu Chen quickly dispelled his Yama form, flashed to Fan Rusong's side, and looked at the four underworld officials.

The four Yin messengers all had obvious charred marks on their bodies, clearly indicating that they had been injured by the sudden lightning attack.

"I am unharmed, General," Fan Rusong replied, bowing slightly, though he was a little out of breath.

"How could a mere vengeful ghost possibly wield thunder magic?!" Lu Chen still couldn't believe it.

Although the red-clothed ghost was successfully killed, its unexpected counterattack before death shocked and surprised everyone.

Lu Chen frowned, unable to understand how these two extreme concepts, [ghosts] and [thunder magic], could be connected.

This is similar to having ice hidden in fire, or fire hidden in ice—it's the same principle!
“My lord, this lightning technique is indeed strange.” Fan Rusong regulated his breathing and said in a deep voice, “Although this lightning is yang lightning, it seems to be much weaker than orthodox lightning! It’s more like… some kind of transformed power.” The other three Yin messengers also nodded. They had personally experienced the power of the lightning and felt it most directly.

“Transformed power…” Lu Chen murmured to himself, a flash of lightning suddenly striking his mind!
He remembered!
When I accepted the "Academy of Rebirth" mission, the mission background clearly stated: This creature possesses an unexpectedly high resistance to lightning magic!
It should be noted that the most spiritual practitioners cultivate thunder magic.

Because Lei Fa is born with an unparalleled ability to kill single targets of demons and monsters, especially "ghosts".

That's why it's so popular.

However, the strange and powerful magic of this Rebirth Academy has a strong resistance to lightning magic.

At the time, Lu Chen only felt strange, but did not think much of it.

It wasn't until now, when he witnessed the vengeful ghost unleashing its thunder magic, that he finally understood!
This vengeful ghost can wield thunder magic, no wonder it is not afraid of lightning.

But where does this power come from?

Ghosts practicing lightning magic? That's unheard of!

"General, there's something here!"

Just then, Xie Qingyi interrupted his thoughts.

She raised her slender hand slightly, and with a flick of her wrist, a dark object flew into her hand from the ground.

This thing is very similar in color to the asphalt path.

You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.

Lu Chen looked closely and found that it was a dark wooden plaque, neither gold nor stone, and it felt cold and heavy to the touch.

The wooden plaque was also engraved with some strange characters and symbols.

However, what is surprising is that the carving technique used on these characters is extremely unique.

Half of them were made using the "intaglio" technique, where the strokes are recessed.

The other half, however, uses the "positive carving" method, where the strokes are raised!
"This is... Yin and Yang in one moment?!"

Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and he was startled.

It should be noted that text engraving has always been divided into two types.

— Engraved.

Mostly used for worshipping ancestors, the deceased, and deities, such as tombstones and ancestral tablets, symbolizing the acceptance of good deeds and communication with the underworld.

— Relief carving.

These are used by the living, such as personal seals and inscriptions praising achievements, symbolizing the manifestation of yang energy and revealing it to the world.

The two have distinct uses and are strictly forbidden from use.

Intaglio carving must never be used on living people, and relief carving must never be used on ghosts or spirits.

However, this black wooden plaque dares to defy all conventions by using "carving on both the yin and yang sides"!
"Could it be that this wooden plaque is dedicated to... an existence that is neither alive nor dead, neither human nor ghost?"

A chilling thought flashed through Lu Chen's mind: "A living dead?!"

Just as he was feeling alarmed, several gasps of surprise suddenly came from beside him.

"This looks like... Yin Thunderwood?!"

Surprisingly, it was Horse-Face, who was usually not good with words, who was the first to speak.

"There's no mistake! This aura, containing extreme yin and evil yet also carrying a trace of destructive lightning intent, must be Yin Thunder Wood!"

The sound of the ox-headed urn echoed, and the large, copper-bell-shaped eyes were filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Yin Lei Wood?" Lu Chen asked in surprise, just about to ask.

"My lord!" Fan Rusong said solemnly, "May I take a look..."

Lu Chen handed over the black wooden plaque.

The writing on it was distorted and bizarre, unlike any writing in the mortal world, and he couldn't recognize a single one of them.

Fan Rusong took the wooden plaque with both hands and examined it closely.

Behind them, Xie Qingyi, Ox-Head and Horse-Face immediately surrounded them.

The four heads were almost touching.

As they read on, the four underworld officials' expressions grew increasingly grim, their eyes widening in disbelief.

It was as if they had seen something extremely incredible, something that even terrified them.

Seeing this, Lu Chen frowned even more deeply: "What's wrong? What's written on this... could it be some kind of underworld script?"

Although Lu Chen knew a few words of Netherworld script, he was only good at making large silver items. He was completely clueless about such profound inscriptions.

"grown ups……"

After a long while, Fan Rusong slowly put down the wooden plaque in his hand and raised his head:
"Things... are probably not going well!"

"What's wrong?!" Lu Chen's heart tightened, and he asked urgently.

Fan Rusong's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed with difficulty.
"Someone actually wants to refine... a Yin Spirit!!"
