Chapter 212: Under the Styx, Dushuo Mountain
Seeing that Chihu was about to resume action, Li Daoxuan immediately made the most calm judgment.
The Wuchang Soldiers and Horses Talisman in his hand glowed with light, collecting the souls of the old men and children into it, and then he formed a Taoist seal with his hand.
The Great Five Elements Escape Technique, the Earth Element Magical Power!
Boom!
The ground of the underworld cracked open, and a figure quickly moved underneath. The underworld, as hard as black iron, became Li Daoxuan's best protection.
He even created several incarnations, deliberately created some noise, and fled in other directions to confuse the audience.
Just as Li Daoxuan had just escaped underground, a roar filled with murderous intent and violence rang out.
"It hurts so much!"
The power of the immobilization spell dissipated, and Chihu finally regained his ability to move. His flesh and blood quickly squirmed and a new head grew out.
Chi Hu threw the ghost-head sword in his hand and plunged it into the ground dozens of feet deep, cutting Li Daoxuan into two pieces.
However, that was just an incarnation, Li Daoxuan turned into two pieces of hair.
The red ghost was furious. He ran madly, trampling one house after another. His huge arms reached into the ground and crushed Li Daoxuan, who was escaping underground, into pieces.
Yet it was still an incarnation.
"Damn it, come out, come out now!"
"I will kill you and eat you alive!"
Chihu's mad roar echoed in the Yellow Spring Realm. As a powerful being in the Yangshen Realm, second only to the first person and above everyone else in the Yellow Spring Realm, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Being tortured and teased by a little mouse in the Yinshen realm?
He had been of noble status during his lifetime and had killed countless people. Even after his death, he was still a ghost hero. He was always arrogant and proud, comparing himself to a god, but now he was severely humiliated in front of thousands of ghosts.
I really want to skin that guy alive, pull out his tendons, grind his bones and scatter them into ashes!
However, no matter how angry he was, he was completely unable to discover the whereabouts of Li Daoxuan's real body. Instead, he was led farther and farther away by his incarnation.
Just then, a voice sounded in his ears.
Chihu's eyes lit up, and then he quickly turned around and chased in the opposite direction.
…
Li Daoxuan traveled through the underworld like a fish swimming in water, disappearing in an instant. In just a short moment, he had escaped more than a hundred miles away.
Chihu's figure had long disappeared, and only his angry roar could be faintly heard.
Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Facts had proved that the Great Five Elements Escape Technique was indeed magical. Even the number one ghost general in the underworld, who was in the early stage of Yang God, could not catch him.
But he was not completely relieved of his guard in his heart, because the feeling of being watched still existed!
Even with the protection of the underworld, the feeling was only weakened a lot, but it did not disappear.
It is obvious that the Empty-Dulled Ghost King has the ability to see through the earth-moving magical power.
Fortunately, something seemed to have happened to him. Li Daoxuan had been struggling to this point, but the other party had not fully awakened. He only left part of his consciousness and used the Styx to attack.
If we could figure out what was wrong with him, could we use that to our advantage?
Li Daoxuan's heart moved, he keenly realized that this might be very important news.
Just as he was lost in thought, the ground suddenly shook and Chihu's voice became clear again.
"I've seen you, you rat in the dirt!"
"You can't get away, stop struggling!"
Chihu took one step of a hundred feet and quickly approached Li Daoxuan , his voice full of pride and arrogance.
Li Daoxuan frowned. What happened? Didn’t he just get rid of him?
Could it be that the Ghost King with Empty Du is helping him secretly and guiding him?
Li Daoxuan guessed the key in an instant.
He used the same trick again, creating several incarnations, deliberately making noises, and escaping in other directions.
But this time, Chihu didn't even look at him and chased straight towards Li Daoxuan's real body, with a very clear target.
It is true!
Li Daoxuan's heart sank. The Empty-Dull Ghost King could indeed see through his Earth-Walking Escape Technique. Although he could not show up in person to stop him, he could still guide Chihu in the right direction.
In that case...
Li Daoxuan changed direction and quickly fled towards the River Styx.
Before Chihu could catch him, Li Daoxuan rushed out of the ground and plunged into the icy underworld.
The Styx cannot freeze people's souls into ice directly like the Yellow Spring, but it is also full of yin energy and is very cold. There are also countless evil spirits in it. As soon as Li Daoxuan entered the river, countless arms stretched out from the water and started tearing him apart.
The bright silver dragon armor burst out with bursts of precious light, blocking wave after wave of evil spirits.
Li Daoxuan made hand seals and ripples appeared all over his body. His body suddenly turned into a stream of water and hid in the River Styx.
Water walking magic!
He knew that the Empty-Dulled Ghost King could see through his whereabouts, but the question was... did Chihu dare to come down?
Although Chihu is in the early stage of Yangshen and can devour the souls of the dead, this secret method of devouring is by no means without any limitations.
Otherwise, why would he have to cook ordinary souls through the Eighteen Levels of Hell? Wouldn't it be enough to just turn the evil spirits in the River Styx into "ingredients"?
Perhaps that secret method of devouring has some side effects, such as mental disorder and bad temper.
In addition, Li Daoxuan noticed a phenomenon. In the underworld, ghost messengers would never enter the River Styx, and they would not even set foot on the ferry that carried the souls of the dead.
It seems that there are some taboos in this river.
As expected, Chihu stood on the shore, beating his chest and stamping his feet in anger, but he could only watch Li Daoxuan go away and he did not enter the river.
After Li Daoxuan used his water-moving magical power, those evil spirits no longer appeared. It was obvious that they could not see through this magical power.
That mysterious gaze seemed to be gradually fading away.
However, the next moment, something strange happened.
A turbulent whirlpool formed in the River Styx, as if some giant beast was breathing underwater.
Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from behind, trying to suck him into the bottom of the river.
Countless evil spirits screamed as they were swept away by the whirlpool and fell into the abyss-like bottom of the river.
Damn it, I must hold on!
Li Daoxuan tried his best to use his magical powers to resist the suction. He had a vague premonition that once he sank to the bottom of the water, he would be doomed!
Maybe there is some terrifying monster hiding under the water?
Is it because they are afraid of the monsters under the water that the ghosts from the underworld don't step into the Styx?
The suction force was getting stronger and stronger. Li Daoxuan had already pushed his magical powers to the limit, and his already limited remaining magic power was being consumed rapidly.
He was sinking little by little...
At the last moment, Li Daoxuan suddenly restored his true form, then raised his right hand and said something to the whirlpool under the water.
"Certainly!"
He used the spell to immobilize himself again, because his intuition told him that he must not sink to the bottom of the river!
The next moment, the turbulent whirlpool of the Styx solidified instantly, and there was no suction force behind Li Daoxuan anymore, as if the shackles had been released at once.
Li Daoxuan did not dare to delay and fled forward without looking back.
But this time the immobilization spell lasted for a shorter time, only a few dozen breaths, far less than the time it took to immobilize the red tiger.
This means that the things under the Styx are much more terrifying than the red tiger!
When the water of the Styx began to flow again, Li Daoxuan finally saw land, or rather, a mountain that was somewhat familiar.
Mount Dushuo!
The legendary residence of Shentu and Yulei, the Ghost Gate that Li Daoxuan passed through when he came in, stands at the foot of Mount Dushuo.
