Chapter 555: Tied Up!
This aura appearing at this moment was undoubtedly that of the Moon Worship Evil God.
"Gentlemen—"
The Moon Worship Evil God gently swayed his treasure fan, his face rough yet charming, yet also carried a peaceful aura. Just as he was about to speak—
"Say no more."
"The Thunder Department's Capturing God General is here, why aren't you surrendering quickly?!"
Ghost Vine chuckled sinisterly.
Though he spoke of capturing the Moon Worship Evil God, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately took action. His arms opened wide, and from his body burst forth thousands of vines. The vines carried a ghostly aura, chuckling eerily and appeared far more malevolent than the Moon Worship Evil God himself.
"Alas!"
"People are violent, not understanding the true meaning of love."
The Moon Worship Evil God, with his long hair draped over his shoulders, showed a glow on his face. He was not annoyed by the interruption, and merely spread his palms open gently. Instantly, a howling wind and a torrential downpour erupted. This was no ordinary wind but a stinging wind; and the rain was not ordinary rain but a crimson blood rain.
Twice the stinging wind and blood rain swept across humanity.
The vines were everywhere, splashing and splattering, swirling towards Ghost Vine.
Whoooosh!
Whoosh!
Splash!
In an instant, the skies were obscured. Only through the gaps in the stinging wind and blood rain could one see Ghost Vine commanding the thousands of vines, lashing and striking, disintegrating the unexpected wind and the blood rain falling from the sky.
Clarity returned to the heavens and earth.
"Such skill!"
"Truly, the Ghost Vine is formidable, to think he could capture the Moon Worship Evil God on his own!"
The Heavenly Generals watching from above couldn't help but praise aloud.
Zhao Rongshan and his brothers, seeing Ghost Vine's display of power, who had easily broken the 'Zhenlong Formation' and now contended with the Moon Worship Evil God with such ease, finally saw the gap between them.
"These vines contain mysteries, regular True Immortals from the Fourth Realm might find it hard to guard against. Ordinary True Immortals from the True Miao Realm, no matter how many, would be in vain."
Zhao Ronghai couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
Even Zhao Rongsan, usually so arrogant, couldn't help but feel a shock, recognizing his own shortfall.
Above, watching the battle.
Below.
In the Undying Country, the Moon Worship Evil God was unhurried. Despite the destruction of the stinging wind and blood rain, with a flick of his fingers, the next moment—
"Demons dance chaotically."
From all directions, countless ghostly and demonic shades attacked rapidly, nearly impossible to catch. However, Ghost Vine managed to use the thousands of vines to defend himself while also reaching out towards the Moon Worship Evil God.
"The attack of Ghost Vine is plain, but his skill in entangling is second. What's truly formidable is this method of handling enemies."
Without a shadow beside him, with sly eyes, he watched the struggle below while speaking to Lu Qingfeng beside him.
Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.
Ghost Vine was an otherworldly creature from the Immortal Realm, rare throughout the Primordial era, with quite extraordinary methods. Although limited in advancement, always stuck at the peak of True Immortal Realm without breaking through, his inherent strength was extremely formidable. He required no magical artifacts; his own body was a top-grade artifact capable of capturing, entrapping, and defending.
Effective alone or against a group.
Truly formidable.
Lu Qingfeng saw Ghost Vine among the thirty-six Demon Commanders and seventy-two Demon Generals at Green Fox Cave, and the first one he took notice of was indeed this Ghost Vine, his strength was unusually formidable.
Looking further down.
One saw that the Moon Worship Evil God successively deployed his tactics—
Purgatory Claw, Gale Technique, Ghost Descent, Heavenly Thunder Break, Wild Thunder, Earth Splitting and Sky Crashing, Poison Devours the World, Wind, Snow, and Ice, Explosive Gu, Purgatory True Fire, Great Curse Snake, Ten Thousand Ants Eating an Elephant, Soul Stealing...
Deserving of being the Moon Worship Evil God capable of causing a calamity in One Realm, his talents and methods were extremely high, beyond ordinary reach. Even for someone like Ghost Vine, the fight was evenly matched, difficult to ascertain a superior.
It's important to note.
Ghost Vine was born in the Earth Immortal World and hailed from Yellow Wind Ridge. During his cultivation, he had received pointers from the Green Fox Great Saint, even from Yellow Wind Great Saint, far from what an ordinary True Immortal could compare to. And the Moon Worship Evil God only came from the Nine Ring Realm, the strongest beings he encountered were merely at the True Immortal Realm.
Yet at this moment, they were evenly matched on the battlefield.
On closer consideration, it was rather Ghost Vine who had the disadvantage.
And—
"The Evil God Treasure Fan has not been employed yet."
Sha Daoist spoke in a hoarse voice, seeing that the Moon Worship Evil God seemed to have exhausted his skills, while Ghost Vine relentlessly entangled without pause. His eyes, through a yellow cloak, fell on the treasure fan in the hands of the Moon Worship Evil God.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Generals initially absorbed in the fierce battle between the Moon Worship Evil God and Ghost Vine nearly forgot about this critical point.
With a thought.
They then saw the Moon Worship Evil God lightly lift his treasure fan, seemingly casually, yet with a mere flick towards Ghost Vine.
In that moment.
A Yin Wind arose, Yin Fire spread across the sky. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire rode the wind, burning all of Ghost Vine's extending vines clean in an instant.
Whoosh!
Whoo!
The world trembled; within the Yin Wind and Yin Fire, one could vaguely hear Ghost Vine emit a strange cry. In the next instant, he burst forth from the Yin Fire, landing among the heavens, his facial expression unclear. But his black robe was burnt with many holes, his arms empty. Soon after with a thought, new vines grew and entwined to form new arms and hands.
But he still looked disheveled.
Seeing below what seemed like non-existent Ghost Fire and Yin Wind, Ghost Vine decisively turned and returned to the heavenly formation, "This treasure is powerful, the Yin Wind and Ghost Fire it controls counters me, truly beyond my capture, I please request forgiveness from the Three Great Kings."
"Ghost Vine's ability to force the Evil God to this extent is already a great contribution, where lies the fault?"
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand.
His gaze shifted, looking at Mad Ape and the other three, "Four Generals, do you have any methods to subdue this wild god?"
Mad Ape and the others exchanged a glance.
Sha Daoist spoke first, "My own methods, too, are restrained by this treasure fan."
Lu Qingfeng listened and nodded slightly. He knew what Sha Daoist's specialty was, and compared to Ghost Vine, it might even fall short in the face of the Moon Worship Treasure Fan.
Nothing could be done below.
Immediately, Lu Qingfeng looked at the remaining three emissaries.
Among them, Shadowless quickly shook his head and said, "This devouring spread of the Yin Wind and Ghost Fire renders my escape techniques useless up close. Moreover, the ghost fires are fierce, not even the Ghost Vine can withstand them, and I am unable to cope."
Shadowless specialized in escape and stealth techniques and was the weakest in direct combat among the Five Demons.
Lu Qingfeng understood clearly and nodded slightly, his gaze then fell on the yet to speak Mad Ape and Ge Nie. The two demons exchanged a glance, stepped forward in unison, and thundered, "Mad Ape (Ge Nie) requests to fight!"
Mad Ape and Ge Nie were adept at combat skills; unparalleled in one-on-one fights.
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but clap in approval and exclaimed loudly, "The Evil God is formidable, but the two emissaries might as well go down together and quickly capture him!"
"By your command!"
The two demons received the order and leaped down from the Undying Country.
One shook his body for a moment, his figure instantly swelled tenfold, battling the heavens and earth, appearing like a frenzied devil. The other held a sword, stepped on Xuan Gang, like a lone swordsman from the Mortal realms facing a million army. His sword intent was hidden, unexpressed yet profound.
One unleashed force, the other restrained.
Such momentum shocked all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in heaven.
The two, one left and one right, instantly attacked the Moon Worship Evil God.
The Moon Worship Evil God showed a sorrowful expression, his eyes filled with pity. Holding the Treasure Fan, he lightly flickered a move against the two demons approaching from his left and right.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Ghost Fire and Yin Wind rose again.
The oncoming Mad Ape and Ge Nie found it difficult to stabilize their forms, quickly being flipped away. Moreover, during their flight, Yin Wind carrying Ghost Fire enveloped them from all directions, intending to scorch their flesh and Divine Souls.
Causing a sharp pain in their Divine Souls.
The two demons hurriedly retreated, escaping from the confines of the Undying Country, thus narrowly avoiding disaster.
"Defeated again!?"
Now, even Ghost Vine, Shadowless, and Sha Daoist were somewhat surprised. Regarding head-on battles, among the Five Demons, Mad Ape and Ge Nie were the strongest, ranked among the top even in the entire Yellow Wind Ridge. But even they couldn't withstand a single blow from that treasure fan; could this Evil God indeed be invincible?
"Three Great Kings."
"The Evil God with the Treasure Fan is unbeatable within the Undying Country. Unless there is a Divine Skill or artifact that can counter his treasure fan, even if we lead five thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals inside, we would only be battered and return with grievous losses."
Ge Nie landed in front of Lu Qingfeng, his white robes still neat, his face not frantic. However, the words he spoke weighed heavily on the hearts of all the present Heavenly Generals.
Seeing the prowess, they naturally knew the power of the treasure fan in the hands of the Evil God; it was at least comparable to an Immortal Artifact. Such artifacts are difficult to counteract. Not to mention in the Undying Country field set by the Moon Worship Evil God himself.
"I'm incompetent."
Mad Ape looked ashamed, out of options.
Lu Qingfeng heard this and looked downward silently.
Inside the Undying Country.
The Moon Worship Evil God just lifted his head, his face filled with mercy and spoke, "Longevity is hard to come by, the world suffers, only through death can eternity be attained. Junior General, why not join me to turn this suffering world into one filled with love and eternity..."
The Evil God spoke.
His voice was gentle, quite moving. Hearing it, one could easily fall into a beautiful world full of self-love and mutual love, with a bright smile unconsciously spreading across their face.
"Evil God."
"You've fallen into devilry."
Lu Qingfeng remained unmoved, shaking his head lightly, shattering this profound illusion.
Which caused the Moon Worship Evil God to long sigh.
"Deep are the ways of devilry!"
Lu Qingfeng also softly sighed.
Without waiting for the Moon Worship Evil God to speak further, the next moment his figure flickered, heading directly toward the Undying Country.
Steps at the Cloud Summit.
In a blink, he arrived.
Even Heavenly Soldiers like Ghost Vine and Mad Ape couldn't react in time. When they saw him next, Lu Qingfeng had already reached the front of the Moon Worship Evil God.
"Three Great Kings!"
"Teacher!"
"General!"
The generals exclaimed in shock. The prowess of the Moon Worship Evil God was known to all who experienced it firsthand; they understood he was beyond any True Immortal's match. Lu Qingfeng, though a Capturing God General, was still in the realm of True Immortal. Going down there, wasn't he in grave danger?!
Yet before a thought settled, just as they were about to fly down to assist Lu Qingfeng.
They saw within the Undying Country, Five-colored light twinkled.
Boom boom boom!
As if Ancient Divine Mountains were swaying.
Then.
With a flash of Xuan Light, Lu Qingfeng unexpectedly returned to the heavens above, before the Heavenly Soldiers' formation. And as they looked down, there was no trace of the Evil God in the Undying Country.
"This—"
Just as they were puzzled.
They saw Lu Qingfeng wave his hand, and the Five-colored light twinkled again, a figure plummeted down, rolling on the ground.
On closer look—
Long hair draped over the shoulders, wild and enchanting, his face now showing a hint of confusion.
If not that previously invincible Moon Worship Evil God, then who?!
"Captured!"
The generals were astonished, still struggling to process their thoughts. Then suddenly the voice of Lu Qingfeng rang in their ears.
"Three Great Kings are magnificent!"
Ghost Vine was the first to snap out of it, cheering loudly as he extended his arms, thousands of vines instantly binding the Moon Worship Evil God tightly.
The Moon Worship Evil God—
Captured!
