Chapter 401 - 469: Lending a Helping Hand
At this moment, lightning flickered in the distance.
Rows of trees collapsed, and more and more Ghost-faced Parasites rushed towards the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Xiaoyi and Ye Fan’s figures emerged from that direction.
Ye Fan roared:
"Stop them, don’t let them enter the city!"
More and more Ghost-faced Parasites appeared, those parasitized Extraterrestrials, like beasts without any sanity!
More and more Shushan Daoists and security administrators also rushed out.
Zhang Xiaoyi stepped on thunder, using a Lightning Chain to subdue an Evolver, solemn for once:
"President Su, lend a hand, and consider it a personal favor I owe you."
Su Yutang cautiously glanced at Jin, a charming smile on her lips:
"I really want Zhang Daoist’s favor, but I’m afraid this foreigner will attack me while I’m helping."
Zhang Xiaoyi squinted at Jin:
"If he dares to cause trouble, he won’t leave Xia Country alive!"
Su Yutang reached out to summon back the Shadow Python, and shouted:
"Detai Group security team, assist Shushan and the Security Administration!"
Su Yutang always weighs things before she acts, considering whether it’s worthwhile, what’s more important.
Why did she bring half of Detai Group’s funds to fight to the death with the God Creation Group?
Because, compared to her hatred, the half of Detai Group’s funds was worth avenging, and more important.
Now, compared to killing, helping was more important.
There was still a chance to take Jin’s life, but the chance to gain Zhang Xiaoyi’s and the official’s favor was not so plentiful.
...
Inside the cave.
Ghost faces danced everywhere, making the entire cave seem eerie and evil.
A crazed Extraordinary was bound by oil-green Sanskrit, struggling within the Sanskrit chains.
This was a Ghost-faced Parasite that had run in from outside, controlled by an Elder Monk’s methods.
At this moment, Suzu and the Elder Monk were desperately holding on.
"Li Yang! You’re going to get us killed!"
Suzu cursed Li Yang with her mouth, but worry was evident in her eyes.
Especially when she saw runes twisting in Li Yang’s palm.
Those runes were forming a ghost face.
Suzu instinctively felt that if that ghost face was completed, Li Yang would be lost in his Heart Demon, never able to return!
Suzu shouted:
"Think of something, Elder Monk! I can’t hold on much longer!"
The elder monk’s eyes rapidly moved, and he promptly said:
"We must provide Spiritual Power to Benefactor Li Yang to help him suppress his Heart Demon!"
Suzu was nearly in tears.
It was already difficult to maintain the Barrier, how could she transfer Spiritual Power to Li Yang now!
Gradually, Suzu’s gaze became determined, her small hands holding the Barrier, taking difficult steps towards Li Yang.
The elder monk, seeing this, gritted his teeth, likewise supporting the Evil Light Shield, moving towards Li Yang.
Suzu’s cultivation was far inferior to the elder monk’s, and now her face was pale, blood seeping from the corners of her mouth.
Suzu suddenly asked:
"If this thing parasitizes me, how long can I maintain my sanity?"
The elder monk replied:
"Benefactor Suzu is Tier Four, should last ten minutes at most.
But... Benefactor, you’ve already expended too much Spiritual Power, ten minutes is optimistic."
Suzu took a deep breath, making a certain decision:
"Damn Li Yang, you’ve ruined me!"
She was about to abandon the protective shield!
If she couldn’t hold on, then she wouldn’t hold on!
After being parasitized by the Ghost Face, her cultivation would increase to a certain extent.
She intended to use the power of the Ghost Face to transfer Spiritual Power to Li Yang!
The elder monk saw through Suzu’s plan and hurriedly shouted:
"No, your Spiritual Power isn’t enough!
Even if you’re parasitized by the Ghost Face, the Spiritual Power won’t suffice.
Even if you give him all your Spiritual Power, you won’t be able to help him suppress his Heart Demon!"
Suzu was stunned, urgently shouting:
"What should I do then!"
At this moment, a simple, heavy black door opened inside the cave.
Xiaohai walked out with steady steps.
When the corpses of the Celestial Race were causing chaos in the cave, Asuka Seimei had notified Xiaohai, who had hurried over to check the situation.
Just in time, arriving at this critical moment.
Several ghost faces rushed towards Xiaohai, who immediately blocked them with Hellfire:
"Big sister, what’s going on?!"
Miraculously, the ghost faces that Suzu and the Ghost Monk found difficult to resist, wilted under Xiaohai’s flames and gradually dissipated.
These ghost faces were a kind of curse, and the flames of the Three-headed Hellhound just so happened to have the power to dispel curses.
Suzu saw hope and immediately shouted:
"Xiaohai! Call for help!
Gather all the apostles to the cave!"
Suzu planned to have Xiaohai eliminate these ghostly faces, and then have the apostles deliver Spiritual Power to Li Yang.
Xiaohai, aware of the urgency, hurriedly summoned the Gate of Hell and left the cave.
Fortunately, before the auction, Zhang Shi’ai and Chen Yuqi returned to the South Sea.
The Tree of Human Essence possesses the ability to traverse thousands of miles in an instant.
Du Yangming was already at Great Black Mountain.
So, it was only necessary to notify the apostles to head to the cave at Great Black Mountain, and then bring the Crow to Great Black Mountain.
Moments later, the apostles gathered in the cave.
Xiaohai cleared all the ghost faces inside the cave with Hellfire, and ignited a circle of Hellfire beside Li Yang to block the rampaging ghostly faces.
Suzu plopped down on the ground, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead:
"I’m exhausted."
The Elder Monk clasped his hands together:
"Amitabha, next, all benefactors listen to the Monk’s arrangements."
The apostles knew that only the Elder Monk had the ability to save Li Yang at this time, so they surrounded Li Yang in a circle as told by the Monk.
The apostles’ Spiritual Power erupted, transforming into tangible Spiritual Qi that enveloped Li Yang.
The activity of the ghostly face by Li Yang’s side grew smaller and smaller, and the spell in his palm had already constructed half a ghostly face.
That half ghostly face sensed danger, and its single eye displayed a panic-stricken look.
Suzu, seeing this, exclaimed joyfully:
"There’s an effect! Keep it up!"
The seven apostles also saw hope and gritted their teeth to deliver Spiritual Power to Li Yang even harder.
The half ghostly face in Li Yang’s palm looked increasingly terrified, its eyes staring fiercely at the apostles, full of resentment.
The half ghostly face trembled, contorted, but couldn’t grow further.
Suddenly, the half ghostly face made up its mind.
A portion of the spell on the ghostly face moved toward the mouth area, first constructing a grotesque little mouth.
At this moment, the incomplete ghostly face in Li Yang’s palm had only one eye, half a nose, and a complete mouth.
The incomplete ghostly face opened its mouth, causing the apostles’ Spiritual Power to fluctuate as if colorful smoke in the wind.
Immediately afterward, the ghostly face’s mouth, like a black hole, absorbed all that Spiritual Power into the mouth.
Spells continuously emerged on Li Yang’s palm, accelerating the construction of the ghostly face, and the ghostly face’s growth speed increased, seemingly about to transform into a complete ghostly face!
"Damn."
The Elder Monk stopped delivering Spiritual Power.
Suzu shouted:
"Why did you stop? What are you doing!"
The Elder Monk sighed:
"Our Spiritual Power is now unable to suppress the Heart Demon, it’s even aiding the Heart Demon."
The apostles paled collectively.
They dared not imagine what a Demon Club without Li Yang would be like.
They dared not imagine what a rampaging Li Yang would turn this world into!
...
Li Yang’s mental world.
Strange faces became more numerous, and in this pitch-black world, those shadows seemed insignificant, yet they filled Li Yang’s vision.
Li Yang coldly stared at those shadows.
Having just received the apostles’ Spiritual Power, Li Yang regained his ability to think, regained his rationality.
He now had to consider how to break the stalemate, how to leave this place.
"These people seem to be all connected to me.
Among them are my teachers, classmates, members of the Demon Club.
Those I haven’t met are probably classmates from my school that I haven’t seen, passersby I brushed shoulders with at the small shop, and unknown blood relatives."
Amidst the curses from these people, in the eerie dark world, Li Yang wandered, pondering.
Suddenly, Li Yang halted his steps, squinting towards the endless sea of people:
"If everyone here is connected to me, then he must be here too."
Li Yang weaved through the crowd, searching for something.
In the crowd, he saw Du Yangming, saw Su Yutang, saw Yang Xiao, saw He Jingguo...
Finally, Li Yang saw the person he was looking for on the outskirts of the crowd.
That was an old man dressed in tattered clothes, hunched over, with dirty and disheveled hair.
Li Yang grabbed the old man.
The old man stared blankly at Li Yang.
A slight smile slowly appeared at the corners of Li Yang’s mouth:
"Everyone here has a sharp tongue, only you didn’t curse me."
Li Yang confirmed his thought, and spoke again:
"Since you’re incredibly powerful in my dream world, you should have some means in this broken place too?
What’s the choice? Watch me destroy this world or lend me a hand?"
Light appeared in the old man’s eyes, and he smiled:
"I’ll lend you a hand."
The old man extended his hand, lifting a magnificent blue fire lotus.
In the mental world, some women’s hair, the old man’s clothing, and children’s shoes caught fire.
In the next moment, the bewildered sea of people transformed into a vast sea of flames, and the entire world ignited with azure flames.
