Lucifer picked up a mirror and a comb, tidied up his hair, and said nonchalantly, "Reinhardt will probably arrive later. There seems to be a level 5 demon at a library in Europe, and he went there with the Holy Spear of Longinus to provide support..."
"As for Le Le and San Liu, they're all useless. Why wait for them?"
Lucifer's last words were dripping with contempt.
"Waiting for them, I might as well wait for barbecued pork, at least that is tasty."
Li Yaotong, upon hearing Lucifer's words, felt a surge of anger and killing intent flit through his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and calmed his emotions, saying:
"Mm, the Master of Fallen Splendor is not wrong, they're just Energy Transformation Warriors, there's no need to wait specially for them. The situation in the school is critical now, and those demons could escape at any moment. Most of us are already here, it's time to go in and get ready to suppress the demons."
"Indeed, that's what we should do."
Seeing that Reinhardt could not come, and that Le Le and Third-Rate Unknown coming over wouldn't make much difference, Sheng Rulai nodded in agreement.
"Then that's settled. Take one of these heavy weapons each," Mu Jinyu said as she pointed at the Gatling guns placed aside, seeing that they were all ready to go in.
Lucifer and Ren Xiaoyao glanced at them with a hint of disdain, feeling that Mu Jinyu was really losing face for Divine Realm Warriors, and refused, saying, "No need."
However, Sheng Rulai, looking at those Gatling machine guns with a mix of astonishment and bemusement, turned to Bu Ke Bu Zha with his hands together and said, "Amitabha, please trouble Dragon King."
He did not refuse and picked up a Gatling gun along with several ammunition boxes.
Could Sheng Rulai, who trained a disciple like Bu Ke Bu Zha and nicknamed Buddha, truly be a simpleton?
Mu Jinyu then took out a few protective talismans and distributed them to Sheng Rulai and the rest.
This time, Ren Xiaoyao and Lucifer did not refuse.
They'd known since the information sharing that the Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instruments could block the erosion of grim disasters and fend off attacks from level three and four demons.
Ren Xiaoyao, due to Ning Fan and the others helping out in Dragon King Hall, had even gotten quite a few protective talismans earlier on.
As for Lucifer, he wasn't so lucky and only now received a protective talisman.
He looked at the somewhat crude Gold Inlaid Jade necklace in his hand and said, "So this is a protective talisman, interesting."
"Alright, let's go in!"
Li Yaotong spoke up at the right time, reminding everyone.
"Mm."
Everyone nodded in unison, and then, carrying their weapons and vigilant, they slowly walked toward the school interior that was engulfed in darkness, exuding endless despair and a deathly stillness.
As they crossed the threshold and entered the school gate, they felt a chill breeze strike them, cold to the bone, like the Nine Serenities wind blowing in from hell, causing their skin to crawl with goosebumps.
"As expected, the demon Qi is heavy!"
Ren Xiaoyao squinted his eyes and held a big stack of talismans in his hands.
"Hu..."
Following Ren Xiaoyao's words, suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept through, creating a small tornado that whipped up the concrete floor into disorder and charged straight at them!
Upon seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, as he quickly recited a string of spells, then threw out the big stack of talismans in his hand, shouting:
"Zha!"
The great stack of talismans, which should have been blown away by the howling wind, burst into a kaleidoscope of light as soon as Ren Xiaoyao's shout was heard, reversing the situation and pinning the small tornado in place.
The wind stopped!
A little ghost was revealed within the tornado.
This little ghost had skin dark and ghostly all over with a face not cute but hideously ferocious. Its eyes lacked pupils, showing only the whites, glaring at everyone with a gaze filled with spite and venom.
Bu Ke Bu Zha, seeing this, hoisted the Gatling machine gun in his hands, started chanting Buddhist scriptures, and triggered the gun.
"Da da da..."
The bullets, crafted of pure gold, poured out like a torrential rainstorm, ferociously hitting the little ghost and blowing its form to pieces.
In the end, only a few hairs were left behind on the ground.
It seemed that this was the true form of the demon.
Sheng Rulai had just failed to stop Buzha in time, and seeing the demon already knocked down and seriously injured, he could only sigh and reprimand Buzha slightly, "What a waste, that was just a Second Level demon after all."
"Master, your disciple was too nervous," Buzha admitted somewhat embarrassedly.
"Forget it, just be more careful next time," Sheng Rulai sighed.
Meanwhile, Mu Jinyu stepped forward and took out a Golden Container to collect the few strands of hair with a cold Yin Qi.
"Let's go."
After confining the demon, he looked back at the group and said.
The group once again moved forward, heading in a direction where the Yin Qi was not as dense.
Clearly, places with dense Yin Qi were where many demons gathered, and since their specifics were still unclear, it was better to first confine the isolated demons before confronting the rest.
They walked slowly and arrived at the playground.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Suddenly, a phenomenon occurred.
Numerous ropes made from the hair of the dead fell from the sky, then split into countless strands, aiming for the necks of everyone present!
Ren Xiaoyao and Lucifer, among others, were caught off guard and were immediately strangled by the neck, hanging high in the air, their complexions turning from rosy to pale and then gradually turning black as they were invaded by ghostly Qi.
"Ugh..."
Despite their Divine Realm and Half-Step Divine Realm strength, they were completely powerless against the attack of the Ghost Rope!
Luckily, in the critical moment, the Protective Talisman that Mu Jinyu had just given them sparkled brilliantly, saving their lives. Although it couldn't help them break free from the Ghost Rope's hold, at least they wouldn't die right away!
Buzha and Sheng Rulai reacted in time, dodged, and picked up the Gatling, hesitating to fire.
If they opened fire fully, they might not be able to suppress the Ghost Ropes and instead might harm their own people!
Wang Hu, faced with this situation, was also somewhat helpless, for the demon he controlled were but rotten legs and a pair of Embroidered Shoes, insufficient to fight against these Ghost Ropes.
Wu Shisan, however, made a quick decision. Drenched as he was, the pores of his body opened up and in an instant, foul-smelling Corpse Water shot out from him in all directions!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The Corpse Water surged, and the Ghost Ropes filling the sky seemed to fear the Water Ghost controlled by Wu Shisan. As soon as they touched the Corpse Water, they retracted back automatically!
In an instant, the campus was cleared of most of the Ghost Ropes, and Ren Xiaoyao and Lucifer, who were being hanged to their deaths, were abruptly dropped to the ground with a thud.
Although battered, fortunately, they narrowly escaped with their lives!
However, although Wu Shisan's Corpse Water had repelled a wave of Ghost Ropes, the numerous ropes still hanging in the sky remained dense, twitching as if waiting for Wu Shisan to run out of strength before they would attack again!
"Be careful!"
Mu Jinyu frowned and advised them, then turned back and his expression changed, lips slightly raised in a mocking cold sneer.
"Hehehe..."
In an instant, the ability of the Ghost-Faced Demon was activated, and the chilling laughter spread across the entire playground!
"Bang bang bang!"
The densely suspended Ghost Ropes disintegrated one after another with the rise of laughter, turning into black smoke and dissipating, leaving only small remnants falling to the ground.
Twisting slightly on the ground like little snakes, they seemed ready to struggle and flee!
Mu Jinyu quickly ran over, grabbed one, and then tossed it into the Golden Container.
Feeling relieved at the near miss, he turned back and asked, "Are you all okay?"
He looked at the empty playground, shrouded in black fog, and received no response.
They were scattered!
