Chapter 133 Do They Seem to Be Waiting to Die?
Outside the market.
Li Tingyun also got lost.
However, he wasn't inside the market, nor was he trapped in any inescapable maze.
It's purely because I have no sense of direction and can't tell east from west.
After parting ways with Mei Shiyu, Li Tingyun longed to return to the border town. Guided by his inner voice, he resolutely continued on his path, and finally…
I've successfully gotten lost.
He had no idea where he had wandered off to.
But he knew his luck was running out, and he figured he was going in the opposite direction and going further and further astray.
The surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate.
He stood alone in a desolate, godforsaken place.
"001?"
system.
Li Tingyun finally remembered that he had a system.
His relationship with the system was quite bizarre—like that of a familiar stranger.
He has very low dependence on the system, but the system imposes great restrictions on him, so even if the system goes offline for a very long time, it does not affect his progress in the storyline.
Li Tingyun always unilaterally cuts off contact with the system.
Unless he initiates the call himself, or it is initiated by customer service, or the system issues a message or task, he will remain disconnected from the system.
In the past, it was usually Wang Laoliu who took the initiative to find him.
This was the first time Li Tingyun had independently activated 001.
"Wang Laoliu? Get out here."
【Eek.】
The screen in front of me suddenly lit up.
The voice that came from the other end was Li Tingyun's deep, cold voice after he came of age.
Wang Laoliu's body trembled.
Li Tingyun said in a commanding tone, "Navigation."
The system doesn't have this function.
However! But I know one thing: as long as you keep going west, you will definitely find the Road to the Underworld and the River of Oblivion!
[Host, I beg you, please do the main quest—find Yuan Che's body and help his soul return to its rightful place.]
The system notified him that his health was down to 10%, but his condition was stable and had not decreased further.
"Then let him hang there. I don't have time to do missions right now."
Li Tingyun had previously removed the Qiankun bag that Mei Shiyu had left for "Yuanbao" from Wangcai's ear. After opening it, he discovered that the jade pendant was missing, presumably returned to Yuan Che by Mei Shiyu.
With the jade pendant and his incredible luck, the protagonist could survive even if he stood in front of the King of Hell and did a breakdance.
[Boss, why don't you have "free time" to do missions? Doing missions is the top priority for the host!]
[Brother, eldest brother, father, grandfather... you're my grandpa, I'll kneel down and call you grandpa from now on, okay?]
[Grandpa Li, I'm begging you, please hurry up and do the main quest!]
"Don't make noise—"
Li Tingyun's words came to an abrupt end.
Wang Laoliu's shouts were abruptly cut off, and on the other side of the screen, directly opposite the host, countless surging heads suddenly appeared!
Ghostly figures loomed, and ghostly soldiers made way for them.
Countless ghost soldiers marched forward in formation, a vast army clad in armor and armed with weapons, their momentum overwhelming, like a tidal wave, seemingly capable of destroying any obstacle in their path. Even a towering mountain would be flattened by their advancing footsteps, invincible and unstoppable.
The scene was truly breathtaking.
Holy crap...
Wang Laoliu was stunned.
It took him several seconds to realize what was happening, and he immediately let out a scream.
【Host, what pose are you striking?!】
[You fucking better get out of the way!]
"Why."
Li Tingyun sneered, "They're the ones who're blind and blocked my way. If anyone should be avoiding someone, it's them avoiding me!"
Only then did Wang Laoliu realize that this army, composed of countless ghost soldiers, had been forced to halt its journey and stop ten zhang away, reining in their horses.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Why did they stop?]
Li Tingyun said quietly, "They can't get through, so of course they have to stop."
Wang Laoliu, still unaware of the seriousness of the problem, asked stupidly:
Why can't they come?
What's the meaning of them stopping there?
I have a feeling they're waiting for something. Strange, what are they waiting for?
"Then what do you think..."
Li Tingyun's voice was chilling, and he asked with a half-smile, "Don't they seem like they're just waiting to die?"
【ah? ! 】
A chill ran down Wang Laoliu's spine.
My scalp feels slightly numb.
Li Tingyun did not move an inch, nor did he even make a move. He only slightly flipped his sleeves, and a shadow as fast as lightning flew out. Like a shooting star, it spun around and teleported, directly hitting the ghost army!
Wang Laoliu watched helplessly as the figures, one after another, who were whole and clad in armor, ten zhang away, were instantly "disintegrated"—shattered into dust that could be blown away by the wind and spread in the air.
Thousands of ghost soldiers exploded and died, and a thick black fog gradually enveloped the ground, swallowing up the endless desolate mountain scenery in the distance.
From beginning to end, Li Tingyun stood still in the same spot. Wang Laoliu didn't even see how he made his move, let alone see what the divine soldiers attacking the ghost army looked like.
He only saw that the "black shadow" that almost sparked a flame penetrated deep into the army and stirred things up several times. Amidst the flickering light and shadow and the clanging of cold weapons, tens of thousands of ghost soldiers were routed.
Wang Laoliu has lost his mind.
As he watched the army crumble and fall, it was as if a huge fireworks display was going off in his mind, crackling and booming across the sky, leaving him completely blank.
Only now did Wang Laoliu finally realize that his host was Li Tingyun... the ultimate villain who truly achieved the goal of destroying the world and becoming a demon!
He is a hundred times more terrifying than the devil. He kills gods and Buddhas alike. Even if millions of people stand in his way, he will clear a path and walk alone.
From the distant black mist, something flew out, streaking across the sky, and landed back in Li Tingyun's hand like a boomerang.
A hammer.
It was the "divine weapon" that defeated the demon army.
