Chapter 54 Noble Person in the Main Palace
"Zhong Kui! That guy outside is yours to handle."
Upon hearing the name of the person who had arrived, Ling Yunxiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to Cui Jue of the Yin Law Division, who was not particularly skilled in combat and was responsible for punishing evil and promoting good, this person was a martial arts judge who was specifically responsible for fighting evil spirits.
"He's just a mere evil god, yet he dares to act so recklessly in the capital. I'll go and capture him right away."
Zhong Kui glared angrily at the golden light shining through the window, then dashed out like a streak of light.
The crowd followed Zhong Kui out of the manor and finally saw the so-called deity clearly.
It was a tall man with a bluish-purple face, riding on a skeletal blue ram, his body covered in flames, his four arms holding a bamboo stick and a dagger in his right hands, and a prayer bead in his left hands.
"Agni, also known as the Fire God, is the fire god of Vedic and Hinduism! He currently has no divine title, but he is not a chief god and should not be a match for Konan."
Xiao Nan, go help Zhong Kui and try to leave some survivors.
As the captain of the Masked Squad responsible for dealing with the strange occurrences within the territory, Wang Mian quickly confirmed the Outer God's identity after seeing his appearance.
"Little brat, you're just a mere clone of an evil god. I don't need your help."
As Zhong Kui spoke, his Qingfeng sword was drawn and swept towards Agni. Agni dared not be careless, and all four of his arms reacted simultaneously, while his eyes shot out flames, golden flames heading straight for Zhong Kui's face.
Zhong Kui's Green Edge Sword, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, landed on Agni's arm without dodging or avoiding. Facing the golden flames rushing towards him, he nonchalantly opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the flames whole. He even curled his lip in disgust.
"The energy is far too low; it's not even enough to fill my teeth. I heard you're also a fire god, but your fire is far inferior to that guy Huo De's!"
As soon as Zhong Kui finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spat out the golden flames again, but this time the golden flames had a touch of ink, and the flames rushed towards Agni's chest.
Agni's flames intensified as he met Zhong Kui's fire. The next second, he coughed up blood and flew backward.
"I am merely resting and recuperating here, protecting my believers for life and peace. Why must you exterminate them all?"
Agni staggered to his feet, and before Zhong Kui could bend down again, he quickly spoke up.
"Hehe... Lord, he actually said that these people in the capital are his followers."
"The capital is prosperous, and it is inevitable that foreigners will mix in. But the people of our Great Xia have no possibility of worshipping such degenerate foreign gods."
"There's a dog's head next to that human head, isn't there? Maybe his followers are that dog, it's hard to say."
Several figures approached rapidly from afar, and as soon as they got close, they heard Zhong Kui's laughter and immediately began to explain. Then, Shao Pingge looked at Ling Yunxiao and the others.
"I misjudged the situation. I knew that what happened here was related to the Outer Gods, but I didn't expect that there were actually Outer Gods here. I'm sorry."
"No need for that, it's just a pity that this thing is a clone."
Ling Yunxiao greeted the members of the Shangjing team with a smile. His gaze swept over them, and he was surprised to find Shen Qingzhu following behind Shao Pingge, looking at him with a guilty expression.
"Brother Zhai, you're just a messenger, don't worry about it. Besides, this place is really a lucky spot for us, we're more than grateful to you."
"Really? That makes sense. Your monstrous Divine Ruins seems to require killing stronger creatures to gain power."
Shen Qingzhu's expression improved considerably upon hearing this. He hadn't forgotten Lin Qiye and Wang Mian's reactions when they first witnessed Ling Yunxiao's battle. This guy's energy was incredibly precious.
Meanwhile, while the group was chatting, Zhong Kui had already pinned Agni to the ground and stabbed him several times. When the group came to their senses and looked at him, Agni was in a terrible state; to call it dismemberment would be an understatement—he had been torn to pieces.
Before Ling Yunxiao could express his regret, Zhong Kui had already walked up to him with his blood-stained Qingfeng sword. In an instant, everyone was intimidated by the powerful divine might emanating from Zhong Kui and quietly looked at him.
“My lord, I am not Cui Juenas, and I cannot travel thousands of miles to hunt down and kill his true form. However, my Zhong Kui Ghost-Slaying Sword is stained with his blood, which will lead you to his true form. At that time, you can summon me to kill him.”
After Zhong Kui finished speaking, he held up the Zhong Kui Demon-Slaying Sword in his hands and placed it flat in front of Ling Yunxiao.
"You're very kind, Lord Zhong."
Ling Yunxiao was overjoyed. Their group was about to enter the mist, but they didn't know which way to go. With this sword pointing the way, even if they couldn't find the Temple of the Gods, they could probably kill two Hindu gods first.
Ling Yunxiao took the Zhong Kui Demon-Slaying Sword. As soon as he got his hands on it, the sword shrank several times in size, becoming the size of a palm. It then floated on Ling Yunxiao's shoulder, with the tip pointing south.
After bowing to Ling Yunxiao again, Zhong Kui vanished into thin air. Ling Yunxiao smiled and bid him farewell, glancing casually at Ren Shu.
"Defeat the avatar of Agni, the fire god of the Heavenly Temple, and gain 100 million points of Reincarnation Power."
Summoning Zhong Kui costs 1 points, while healing Wu Tongxuan costs 100 points.
The remaining amount of Reincarnation Power is 113.4 million.
Without hesitation, Ling Yunxiao rushed to Shao Pingge and tightly grasped his hands.
"Captain Shao, the first time I saw you, I felt you were wise and capable, no ordinary person. Now I'm truly certain, you are my lucky star, my benefactor! You are my destined benefactor!"
I owe you so much today; I only managed to gain a million points of Reincarnation Power! My gratitude towards you is as boundless as the Yellow River…”
"How many?"
"one million?"
Wu Tongxuan and Wang Mian locked eyes and instantly appeared on either side of Shao Pingge, placing their hands on Shao Pingge's shoulders simultaneously.
"Captain Shao, are there any unresolved issues in the capital? The more dangerous the better. If it involves the gods, we brothers will go through fire and water to resolve it for you today."
“That’s right, Captain Shao, don’t be so polite with us. We’re old acquaintances. Just let us know if you need anything. The purpose of our Wuwang Squad is to serve the people.”
"Cough cough cough... That's all. I'm not a good-for-nothing. There aren't that many supernatural beings in the capital for you to kill. I'm relieved to see that you're all alright. I still have a lot of things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."
Shao Pingge couldn't stand the three people's enthusiasm any longer and turned to leave. Wang Mian used to be such a normal person, but now he's gone astray.
"Captain Shao, I remember when we first met, you told me you wanted me to resurrect someone. I think I can do that now. Please lead the way!"
