Chapter 22: The Legendary Black Mountain Old Monster?

  "You few little devils are unlucky today, you actually ran into me, Grandpa Nine. Today I will exorcise you all!" Chen Jiu cursed and stood in the center, just about to cast a spell to eliminate that evil spirit.

  But just at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The evil spirits that fell around instantly turned into black mist and merged into one body. Two scarlet lights shot out from the eyes: "You little boy, you forced us to do so. Since that's the case, let's fight it out."

  After finishing speaking, both hands quickly formed a seal: "I respectfully invite Your Majesty to descend".

  Under Chen Jiu's astonished gaze, the sky suddenly changed color, a black fog spread across the entire sky, and then disappeared in an instant. When he looked again, the black shadow in front of him had solidified.

  The body is solid, but the face can't be seen clearly, like a black hole that absorbs all the surrounding light.

  The body is still the same, but the momentum has undergone a heaven-reversing and earth-turning change.

  "I sense that you have the aura of Hei Gui on you, and also, Ah Da is in you." The black figure spoke up, its voice neutral, impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

  Tightening his grip on the sword in his hand, Chen Jiu smiled: "Are you the mastermind behind this?"

  Although I had already made up my mind, I still couldn't help but ask once more.

  The black shadow did not respond, but stared fixedly at Chen Jiu.

  Chen's scalp felt numb, knowing that this time it was the big BOSS who had arrived, and with a slight carelessness, he would really fall into trouble.

  Thousand calculations and ten thousand plans, Chen Jiu never thought that this great demon would descend so quickly, quick to the point where Chen Jiu had no time to react.

  Looking around, wanting to escape is somewhat difficult, no, there's basically no big hope.

  "Which family's disciple are you?" The big demon who had descended spoke up.

  "Without sect, without power".

  The black shadow nodded: "So to speak, killing you won't cause any trouble".

  "I have yet to learn your esteemed name."

  "My name is... um, I need to think about it for a moment, it's been too long and I've already forgotten."

  Chen Jiou was speechless for a moment, how many years has this old guy lived anyway, he's even forgotten his own name.

  "Oh, look at me, I've remembered, someone called me Hei Shan Lao Yao (Black Mountain Old Monster)"

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao?" Chen Jiu exclaimed in surprise.

  "What? You've heard of my name?"

  "No, nothing."

  "Nothing surprises you."

  Chen Jiudun paused for a moment: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

  "Speak up, I have never been stingy with dead people. Once you're done asking, I'll send you on your way."

  "Is there a ghost named Nie Xiaoqian under your command?"

  "Hmm, how did you little brat know that I recently took in a female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian? Did you notice me earlier and intentionally lead me here? But looking at it, it doesn't seem like it... just with your little bit of strength, tsk tsk..."

  Facing the sarcasm of Hei Shan Lao Yao, Chen Jiu did not hear it. At this moment, Chen Jiu's heart was constantly howling: "Heavens, what kind of world is this? How can even Hei Shan Lao Yao come out, where have I arrived in this world?"

  "Hey kid, I'm talking to you."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao's words startled Chen Jiu: 'Oh, I occasionally heard a wandering Taoist mention your great name.'"

  Hei Shan Lao Yao's eyes flickered, unsure what he was thinking. After a while, Hei Shan Lao Yao smiled: "Why think so much? Just extract your soul and refine your spirit directly."

  After finishing speaking, Hei Shan Lao Yao's hand directly reached out towards Chen Jiu and grabbed him. The speed was too fast, so fast that Chen Jiu couldn't even catch a glimpse of Hei Shan Lao Yao's movements.

  Instinctively, Chen Jiu thrust the peach wood sword forward, and with a tearing sound, it was like pouring a ladle of clear water into an oil pot. Even Hei Shan Lao Yao couldn't gain any advantage when facing Chen Jiu's peach wood sword.

  The old demon of Hei Shan looked at the wound on his body, took a light breath, and all the grass and trees around him withered instantly, turning into dense vitality to fill his wound.

  Chen Jiu certainly couldn't let the old demon recover, and he charged forward with his sword. However, Hei Shan Lao Yao's speed was too fast, so fast that Chen Jiu couldn't even stab him.

  "Ancestor, this time I descended with a hint of divine thought, but it seems that some individuals are overestimating themselves."

  Chen Jiu stopped his attack and no longer wasted his effort. After hearing Hei Shan Lao Yao's sigh, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. This Hei Shan Lao Yao was too strong, and being able to make him look up to him made Chen Jiu feel quite good about himself.

  But the next sentence completely shattered Chen Jiu's pride: "I should have lowered two strands of divine sense earlier".

  "Two strands, ah...," Chen Jiuyi was speechless for a moment.

  "If it weren't for this body's insufficient magical power, I would kill you as easily as pinching a little chicken to death."

  After repairing his body, Hei Shan Lao Yao burst out laughing: "Kid, all these years the old ancestor hasn't come out, didn't think that as soon as he came out he'd run into someone as clever as you. Now that the game is over, I'm going to get serious."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao, since you've forced me onto a dead-end path, I'll fight it out with you!" Chen Jiu's face was resolute.

  "Heh, whether or not you can take me down isn't up to you to decide. With your little bit of strength, I really can't see what makes you think you're capable."

  Chen Jiuxin smiled and said: "What's so special about me? You'll find out in a moment."

  After finishing speaking, under the shocked gaze of Hei Shan Lao Yao, a drop of blood suddenly seeped out from Chen Jiu's right index finger and dripped onto the peach wood sword.

  A thick, high-temperature heat rapidly spread out. The wooden peach wood sword was like a hot iron block at this moment, with high temperature and scorching heat, even Chen Jiu's hair was scorched.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao was taken aback: "You actually damaged your own magic tool, you're really ruthless".

  "I'm ruthless enough, haha, compared to my life, the law is nothing. As long as I can escape alive today, everything is worth it."

  Hei Shan Lao Yao looked at Chen Jiu with an expression that was neither affirmative nor negative: "Even if you use the self-destruct technique, it's unlikely to harm me."

  "You yourself are just a wisp of divine thought descended, the three useless people before were not my opponents, now you occupy the physical bodies of those three useless people, and can only mobilize their magical powers, even if you are strong, it's limited compared to me, I don't believe that I would sacrifice my life and still couldn't keep you here."

  "This point you're quite clear about, but there's one thing you've thought wrong. My descent to this place is just a divine thought, even if it's destroyed by you, it won't hurt me at all."

  Chen Ji shook his head: "I don't care, I just know that today with you is without me, and with me is without you".

  After finishing speaking, the dazzling peach wood sword in his hand chopped towards Hei Shan Lao Yao's waist. Hei Shan Lao Yao retreated and with a light flick of his right hand, he sent a black mist flying towards Chen Jiu's face.

  "Xiao Dao Er".

  Chen Jiu's long sword emitted a fiery glow, instantly incinerating the dark mist.

  The old demon of Hei Shan stood in the distance and nodded: "You indeed have some skills, since you insist on this, then I will send you to the Western Paradise."

  After finishing speaking, Hei Shan Lao Yao gently pushed the giant stone beside him. The thousand-jin-heavy giant stone instantly flew through the air, shooting towards Chen Jiu like a cannonball.

  At this speed and weight of the boulder, if it were to land on Chen Jiu's body, it would likely crush him into powder in an instant.

  Quickly dodging this attack, Chen Jiu looked up at the sky and drew a virtual "Thunderbolt Seal" with his left hand.

  A thunderbolt came down from the sky, and the old demon of Black Mountain dodged it lightly.

  Chen Jiu's expression didn't change, and Hei Shan Lao Yao was able to dodge this attack as expected: "Earth Fire Talisman".

  Suddenly a fierce flame burst out from the ground, and Hei Shan Lao Yao was caught off guard, his body slightly disheveled. The dense black fog also dimmed somewhat.

  However, Hei Shan Lao Yao was not in a hurry. As long as he could drag things out for this period of time, Chen Jiu's magic tool would be scrapped, and when the time came, he wouldn't need to exert any effort at all. He could refine him however he wanted.

  Chen Jiu also saw through Hei Shan Lao Yao's intentions and his face changed: "If this continues, I won't be able to hold on, sooner or later there will be a moment when I'll be dragged down".

  Seeing his own magic tool burning to its peak, Chen Jiu's face changed, and a resolute color burst out: "Victory or defeat is in an instant, life and death are determined by fate, success or failure is in the hands of heaven".

  After finishing, the peach wood sword suddenly doubled its light in an instant. In a breath, Chen Jiu's magic was urged to the extreme, and the peach wood sword transformed into a rainbow light, which shot towards Hei Shan Lao Yao at a speed faster than lightning.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao absolutely did not think that Chen Jiu would be so decisive today, launching a fatal blow. Wanting to dodge was already too late.
