A red flare slowly descended.
Shendai Yun Cang, dressed in a Yin-Yang Master’s hunting robe, stood guard beside an old man: “Grandpa, someone’s coming.”
The old man’s Face[-] was a map of wrinkles, like the cracked surface of a summer riverbed.
The old man sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed.
His mind was locked onto the battlefield two kilometers away, focusing on every opportunity to defeat Li Shutong.
A hideous evil spirit stood guard in front of him, as tall as a human but with two horns on its head.
ATS-006, Prajna.
Born from human jealousy during the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, it lets out bone-chilling laughter.
Behind the old man, a ghastly white skeleton stood, its bones rattling ominously in the cold wind.
ATS-005, Mad Bone.Including Wine Swallowing Child, Great Heavenly Dog, Ox Head Rakshasa, and Bing Zhu Bu, who were still besieging Li Shutong.
This ancestor of the Shendai Consortium had almost all the most ferocious Shikigami in the Spiritual Bridge under his command.
The remaining six Shikigami, few people know what they are.
Perhaps, those are the real trump cards.
Beside Shendai Yun Cang, only a one-eyed, big-footed monk stood, ATS-047 Green Monk.
In the Federation, many people discussing Yin-Yang Masters would ponder how powerful a Yin-Yang Master who could ascend to Demi-God and summon twelve S-Class Shikigami at any time would be.
A Yin-Yang Master should be the most powerful Demi-God, with overwhelming numbers!
However, these people are still oversimplifying things. For a Yin-Yang Master, it’s pretty good if half of their Shikigami are directly combat-ready.
For example, Shendai Yun Cang, after Never Fall, White Tiger, and Flying Head Demon were driven back into the Spiritual Bridge, of the remaining three Shikigami, besides Green Monk, ATS-411 Fire Extinguisher, and ATS-288 Grave Fire, there was no need to summon them.
Grave Fire can ignite blue ghost fires in the fields.
Fire Extinguisher will extinguish lamps at night for those who forgot to turn them off.
In Hu Family Intelligence Agency’s files, some people even joked about these two Shikigami. The former is clearly a peasant responsible for burning stalks in a landlord’s house, while the latter is clearly an old woman responsible for fire prevention in a wealthy household, they have no fighting ability at all…
Of course, under normal circumstances, Flying Head Demon, White Tiger, and Green Monk are enough to give any Metahuman of the same level a headache. Without Li Shutong, Qing Chen would have already died at White Tiger’s hands.
Therefore, Shendai Yun Cang is one of the few masters among Yin-Yang Masters.
At this moment, two young men in white parkas came from the north. One of them kept explaining impatiently: “Boss, how can I make you believe me? I really only know how to fold paper frogs?”
Another young man took off his headphones and said: “Don’t keep saying you can’t, say you can learn.”
Shendai Yun Cang frowned. He didn’t even understand what these two were saying.
But before he could figure it out, he saw hundreds of paper frogs rapidly approaching on the vast snowy ground.
These paper frogs weren’t folded neatly, the seams weren’t even aligned, so from a distance, each paper frog looked different, making them look especially eerie.
When the paper frogs reached Shendai Yun Cang, they jumped towards him.
Green Monk made his move. He crushed the paper frogs with his huge foot, while Prajna beside the old man spat out a Fire Energy blast, burning all the paper frogs.
Huan Yu frowned. He didn’t expect his origami to have no chance of resisting against the S-Class Prajna.
Zard shouted: “See, I told you, that old guy has many S-Class Shikigami around him, we can’t beat him! My mission is to keep Qing Chen alive, no need to fight that old guy head-on, someone will take care of him!”
Saying so, he dragged Huan Yu and walked south.
Shendai Yun Cang raised an eyebrow at this scene.
In such a deadly battlefield, how did these two get in? They were so reckless in the Face[-] of the Shendai family’s Demi-God ancestor?!
The old man said hoarsely: “They are here to help Knight, no need to leave.”
As he spoke, the ghastly Mad Bone strode towards Zard, its bones clicking together like a bone wind chime.
Zard was scared out of his wits: “No, no, no, I’m here to protect Qing Chen, but this guy beside me wants to kill Qing Chen all the time! Don’t attack, let’s talk this out!”
At this moment, Shendai Yun Cang and Huan Yu were both bewildered by this eccentric player.
Whose side is he on, why is it so complicated?
But Mad Bone didn’t hesitate, leaping dozens of meters in a single bound.
The ghastly skeleton stretched its body in mid-air, then violently fell down.
“Can’t you understand human language?!” Zard suddenly pressed his hands against the ground. One after another, earth walls rose in front of him. In the blink of an eye, ten earth walls stood between him and Mad Bone.
But Mad Bone smashed through the ten walls and kicked Zard in the chest.
“Damn!” Zard flew backward: “Your grandma!”
This guy didn’t even intend to shut his mouth when he was getting beaten!
As he flew, Zard’s body crumbled into a handful of dust in mid-air.
When he landed, the parka scattered on the ground, sinking into the earth.
Two seconds later, another Zard, fully dressed, emerged from the ground.
Meanwhile, the Shendai ancestor suddenly got up and floated backward. Where he had been sitting, an earth spike emerged.
The earth spike didn’t injure the old man at all, but there were four words on the spike: “Screw you!”
The top-tier elemental Awakened One’s power was actually used as a mockery by Zard!
This was unexpected!
The old man sneered: “Looking for death.”
As he spoke, even Prajna went after him.
Earth walls rose from the ground, blocking Prajna’s path. On the walls were written: “Dancing on your grave,” “Your mother had no butthole.”
There were ten walls in total, one sentence per wall. Each time Prajna smashed through one, it could see the words on the next.
They flashed by one by one, like bullet comments.
But at this moment, Shendai Yun Cang suddenly looked into the distance. A young man carrying a bamboo basket slowly walked across the snowy plain. The basket contained scrolls.
The young man was about thirty years old, looking like a refined scholar from ancient times going to the capital for the imperial examination.
He carried the scrolls on his back, yet he himself looked like the protagonist of a landscape painting.
“Grandpa, it’s Chen Yu!” Shendai Yun Cang’s pupils constricted.
The young man in the distance glanced at him, and he felt his heartbeat almost stop, as if he had been drawn into a scroll.
This Demi-God’s fleeting glance made even A-Class Shendai Yun Cang unable to cope!
This is the son of Chen Chuanzhi, the current Demi-God of the Chen Family.
Chen Chuanzhi had a son late in life. After having a son, he secluded himself outside City 7, devoting all his energy to teaching his son.
Twelve years ago, Chen Chuanzhi passed away, and Chen Yu never stepped out of his father’s hut again.
Four years ago, Chen Yu became a Demi-God at the age of thirty in that hut outside City 7.
On the night Chen Yu became a Demi-God, it is said that all the residents of City 7 smelled the plum blossom fragrance coming from outside the city, refreshing and invigorating.
If Li Bingxi, Li Shutong, and Shendai Qianchi are the previous generation of Demi-Gods, then Shadow and Chen Yu are the representatives of the younger generation.
Moreover, Shadow is said to be seriously ill, and even the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal has repeatedly confirmed that Shadow’s days are numbered.
Chen Yu naturally became the number one Demi-God of the younger generation.
At this moment, Chen Yu put down the bamboo basket in the distance. He looked at Shendai Qianchi, then carefully selected a scroll and unrolled it.
A white Divine Deer leaped out from the scroll, galloping through the snow.
As it ran, the Divine Deer’s hooves stepped on auspicious clouds, dreamy and ethereal.
Chen Yu thought for a moment, seemingly feeling it wasn’t enough, and unrolled another scroll. Inside, a Zhong Kui wielding a golden mace appeared, charging alongside the Divine Deer.
Prajna and Mad Bone, having been pulled away by Zard, were too far to return in time!
As these two Shikigami turned back, they heard Zard’s wild laughter: “The old guy fell for it!”
Instantly, huge octagonal earthen gates grew from the ground, trapping Prajna and Mad Bone inside. Eight octagonal earthen gates were engraved with “Life Gate,” “Death Gate,” “Scene Gate,” etc., like the gates of the underworld.
But the next moment, Mad Bone smashed through the Death Gate…
Huan Yu looked at Zard expressionlessly.
Zard awkwardly laughed: “Hahaha, they’re S-Class Shikigami… Isn’t it reasonable for them to smash my gates?”
But it was Zard’s delay that made Prajna and Mad Bone a step late!
“The Chen Family is not willing to be outdone,” Shendai Qianchi said hoarsely.
Zhong Kui and Divine Deer both stepped on clouds and charged. Zhong Kui swung his golden mace downwards, pulling the falling snow down with him.
The swirling snow and wind filled the sky!
With a loud bang.
The powerful air wave made people unable to open their eyes. Even Zard in the distance had to use his arm to cover his Face[-].
When he lowered his arm, he saw a slender woman with nine tails, her left hand catching Zhong Kui’s golden mace, and her right hand holding the Divine Deer’s white antlers.
As if frozen.
Zard cheered instantly: “Wow, Lady Tamamo! Boss, this old guy actually hid Lady Tamamo, ranked third, this is so beautiful!”
Huan Yu was silent for a moment: “Which side are you on?”
Shendai Qianchi calmly asked: “Chen Yu, why are you here?”
The refined young man seriously recalled and said: “Many people invited me, some I could refuse, some I couldn’t, but they all asked me to kill you. But I don’t want to kill you, how about I give you a chance, let you go back to your Spiritual Bridge to hide?”
“Arrogant,” Shendai Qianchi laughed angrily.
Chen Yu said seriously: “Your own people want you dead, even if you die here, you won’t be wronged, but I can give you a chance today, because I don’t want to break this balance yet. It’s not time yet.”
On the other side, Li Bingxi was attacking Li Shutong furiously, but suddenly found that Ox Head Rakshasa, Great Heavenly Dog, Bing Zhu Bu, and Wine Swallowing Child, who were originally responsible for flanking support behind him, turned and fled north at the same time.
“No good!” Li Bingxi thought to himself.
Li Shutong seemed to have been waiting for this moment. The moment the four Shikigami retreated, he suddenly attacked and shattered Li Bingxi’s clone!
Qing Chen saw this scene. Although he didn’t know what his master was waiting for, he knew that the person his master was waiting for should have arrived!
