The Second Volume Chapter 2 (Part 2) Good Brothers

  A brilliant rainbow flashed across his line of sight.

  Sanlang's expression was solemn, his palms facing the sky, and he suddenly blew out a burst of Chi. At the same time, his younger brother on his forehead also sprayed out a white gas. The two bursts of Chi merged in mid-air, transforming into a large Chi that spread its claws and pounced towards the rainbow.

  The rainbow suddenly surged, like the Milky Way pouring out of a mouth, the long sword transformed into three thousand weak waters, rushing down, colorful and beautiful, drowning the big shellfish, and then rushed towards Sanlang.

  "Brother, this woman is too tough, it seems we can't beat her!"

  "Even if I die under the peony flower, my spirit will still be carefree." Sanlang raised his neck and simultaneously exhaled mist with his brother, disappearing into the fog. In an instant, a demon burst out of the fog.

  It has the face of a samurai, but its body is like that of his younger brother. Its entire body is silver-white in color and shines brightly. Under its chin are two long white whiskers that wave gently, stirring up clouds of mist.

  "What the! This youkai, Shizurou, always likes to change and change, isn't he tired of it?" I jeered loudly.

  "Look at this will-o'-the-wisp, it's in a transitional state. When a monster reaches this level, it will gradually shed its original form and undergo variations. Will-o'-the-wisps don't have whiskers, but look at this one, it has two long whiskers. No wonder Sanlang dared to challenge Ganshenzi, it turns out that he had already entered the transitional state. However, this will-o'-the-wisp is a bit strange, it seems to be a fusion of Sanlang and his brother."

  Three thousand weak waters surged to the front of the mirage demon in an instant. The mirage demon puffed out its cheeks, rolled up its long whiskers, and then shot them out. "Whoosh", a white whisker whizzed out, constantly thickening and lengthening as it streaked through the air.

  With a loud crash, the white whiskers transformed into a snow-white column of cloud and mist, standing upright in front of the Three Thousand Weak Waters. Like a majestic mountain peak rising from the ground, it blocked the rushing torrent.

  "Halt!" The mirage demon growled in a low voice.

  On the pillar of cloud and mist, a row of clear curse words appeared immediately, shining brightly. The momentum of the weak water was stopped immediately, and the vast water vapor gathered under the pillar, stagnant and unable to move forward.

  My heart sank, and Gan Ning's sword was actually blocked by Zuo Ci.

  The demons under the Demon Lord's seat are indeed more terrifying than one another! If the Demon Lord himself were to come, I'm afraid that the three beauties and I would all be done for. I suddenly realized that the three beauties weren't absolutely safe talismans after all. Gan Ning was right; in the mortal world, they might have been invincible, but beyond the heavens, there are even more powerful forces at work in the entire Northern Realm.

  "Retreat!" With the loud shout of the Sea Witch, another row of curse words appeared on the Cloudy Pillar. The Cloudy Pillar let out a thunderous roar, like a ferocious tiger bursting forth its might, forcing the Weak Water to retreat bit by bit.

  I clenched my fists, and my palms were sweating: "The situation seems to be bad! Hai Ji, Ju Danmei, eliminating evil spirits is everyone's responsibility. You two, are you going up for a wheel war?"

  "Don't worry, just wait and see."

  The ripples opened, and a snow-white lotus flower floated out of the water. Ganniang's white clothes were like snow, her black hair was like lacquer, and she stood quietly on the snowy lotus.

  Unblemished by worldly dust, like a fairy emerging from the Luo River in myth.

  In front of the towering cloud pillar, she looked so tiny, as if she would be crushed by the giant pillar with just a slight carelessness.

  But her eyes never looked at Yunwu Zhu.

  She raised her head, as if there was nothing in this world that could make her bow down.

  Her eyes gazed up at an even higher sky.

  With a pointing hand, the three thousand weak waters immediately contracted and condensed into a five-colored needle. The needle was silent and soundless, piercing towards the Cloud Fog Pillar. The talismans on the Cloud Fog Pillar disappeared one by one. With each disappearing talisman, a deep crack would seep out from the Cloud Fog Pillar.

  The demon's face changed, and with a whoosh of air, the remaining white whisker shot out like lightning, transforming into a slender cloud that coiled around the pillar of cloud and mist, resembling a swimming dragon.

  "Turn!" The giant squid let out a loud roar. Clouds and mist swirled around the pillar, spinning rapidly. From the vast white clouds, countless monsters emerged, baring their teeth and claws, pouncing towards Gan Ningzhen. These monsters were enormous, some as big as mountains, while others were smaller than a hair. They spat out toxic liquids, belched out foul-smelling miasma, and exhaled large patches of variegated cloud mist.

  Gan Ning's true jade arm lightly rose, the needle returned to his hand, transforming into a resplendent long sword.

  One sword slash, vanished into thin air!

  The monsters melted like candle oil, one after another. The sword light's momentum didn't change, slashing towards the cloud energy. The cloud energy violently expanded, transforming into an enormous super giant squid. The entire sky was covered by its gigantic body. The giant squid opened its huge mouth and sucked in with force, Gān Lǐngzhēn along with his sword were quickly absorbed towards its mouth edge by the swift and fierce power.

  Just as the giant squid was about to swallow Gan Ningzhen, the sword light flashed hundreds of times in an instant, like embroidery. Then, Gan Ningzhen disappeared into the giant squid's big mouth.

  "Oh no!" I was shocked and pale, the words had just fallen, "Boom" a loud thunder, the giant shell burst open, Gan Ning broke out of the shell and flew out, three thousand weak water swords condensed into a drop of water, from her snow-white fingertips, lightly popped out.

  The cloud pillar suddenly collapsed, and the mirage monster let out a loud cry. A water droplet pierced through the cloud pillar and struck the mirage monster.

  The mirage demon's entire body shook violently, its five senses overflowing with blood, and it was beaten back into the original form of Mirage Sanlang.

  "Brother, we lost." His younger brother said with a look of despair on his forehead.

  I proudly said: "You dare to move earth on the head of Tai Sui, you are really underestimating your own strength! Quickly think about it, take out some good treasures, and exchange them for your lives."

  "Ha ha ha! Victory and defeat, all turned to nothing. We may have lost, but you haven't won either. Even if you kill us, you still can't leave this place. Unless you hand over the three treasures, you'll be trapped in this painting for eternity."

  I was stunned, and it wasn't until then that I remembered we were still inside the mural.

  Jiudan Mei's eyes rolled: "Meng Lou, what do you mean by that?"

  "This mural is the manifestation of my inner elixir, although it's an illusion, it's as real as flesh and blood. If you kill me, my inner elixir will shatter, and the entire painting will automatically explode, including all the figures in the painting, which includes you, will also perish with the painting."

  "Can't we just walk out of this painting with our own two feet?"

  "Firstly, you won't be able to leave even if you want to. Entering the painting is easy, but finding the hidden exit in this endless illusion is no simple task. Secondly, even if you have the ability to do so, I won't give you the chance. If I destroy my inner dan now and risk death, the painting will immediately turn to ashes, and you'll become my burial companions."

  "Hurry up, Sanlang, it's better to live a life of shame than to die with honor. Why be so stubborn? At most, I'll just take away your precious thing and spare your life."

  Haixi coldly smiled and said to Senzaburou, "Who would believe your nonsense? Even if everything in the mural was destroyed, with our powers, we wouldn't necessarily die."

  Sanlang's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning as he pointed at me and said, "And what about him? With his little bit of demonic power, can he also be spared?"

  Hai Ji gritted her teeth and stopped talking. Damn it, seeing myself become a pawn for Sanlang to threaten the beauties, I felt a bit uneasy in my heart. If only we had known earlier, we shouldn't have entered the mural. This was completely a trap set by Sanlang, although we were on guard early, but still fell for it.

  Three beauties looked at each other, and whether Sanlang's words were true or false, they didn't know, but they didn't dare to risk my life. Sanlang smiled: "It seems that the three of you care about little brother very much and can't bear to let him die."

  "Ha! This young fellow's luck is quite impressive!" exclaimed Sanzou's brother.

  "I shouted: 'Zhēn Sān Láng, if the mural is destroyed, the three treasures will also be destroyed together. What's in it for you? I've been listening to your nonsense for half a day, and it seems like you're all talk and no action. You probably don't want to die with us either. Stop playing tricks! What conditions do you want? Speak up! But don't expect us to hand over the three treasures obediently. Otherwise, we'll part ways immediately. I'd rather die than let you take advantage of me.'"

  "Come on, little brother, let's make it quick! I don't want to see everyone fighting to the death either. I have a compromise plan, what do you all think?"

  "If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you have gas, let it out quickly!"

  "I want little brother to do something for me."

  "Me?" I was taken aback: "You're not mistaken, are you?"

  "That's right." Sanlang nodded: "It's you, if you succeed in this matter, I will send all of you away from the mural and won't make it difficult for you. If you can't do it, you can still leave, but you need to hand over the map of the Heavenly Sky, and the other two treasures will remain with you."

  I thought about it, and the conditions set by Sanzaburou weren't unreasonable. However, among the four of us, he specifically chose me, which is nothing but bullying the weak and fearing the strong. With my little bit of magical power, I definitely can't accomplish what he's tasked me with.

  "Little brother is afraid and doesn't dare to respond?" said Sanlang.

  I forced a smile and replied, "Don't try to intimidate me, it won't work. I'm just a low-ranking nobody, your tricks don't work on me."

  "Hey, don't you want to hear what's going on? It's absolutely fair to you." said Saburō's younger brother.

  Fairness? I almost want to laugh, from a very young age I understood that there is no such thing as fairness in this world.

  The word "fair" is just what tigers and wolves say to rabbits.

  "What do you want him to do?" Gan Ning suddenly asked.
