217: Fellow Daoist, why don’t you come to my banner and have a chat?

“Heh, I should have realized earlier that you aren't from Great Xia.”

Fengdu Great Emperor covered his chest with his hand; his heart had already been shattered by Song Zhong.

“Song Zhong, I'll remember you. Great Xia doesn't have just one god like me. One day, if I can revive, I will make sure you fall into endless suffering and never experience Reincarnation.”

Fengdu Great Emperor roared in despair, and his ball of Reincarnation Law was almost completely devoured by the Sun Origin.

He had never thought he would exit the stage in such a way.

Osiris focused intently on manipulating the Sun Origin, planning to completely devour Fengdu Great Emperor's Reincarnation Law in one go.

The loss of his Souls, which Song Zhong had just swept away, needed to be recovered immediately.

“Oh, don't misunderstand me. I only promised Osiris I'd deal with you.

I didn't say I'd kill you. Why are you so full of bitterness and hatred? I think there's still room for us to be friends.”

Be your mother's friend, a million grass-mud horses flew through Fengdu Great Emperor's mind.

They say friends stick by each other through thick and thin, but you're sticking a knife into your friend's ribs, aren't you?

You've plunged a knife into my heart, and now you still have the nerve to spout such nonsense?

If he weren't already out of strength, Fengdu Great Emperor would have cursed Song Zhong a few times.

“See? How much better it is to be emotionally stable like this,” Song Zhong said to himself.

Emotionally stable? I'm almost dead because of you; I just don't have the strength to curse you.

A soaring hatred boiled in Fengdu Great Emperor's mind, but he no longer had the strength to vent it.

“If you want to kill or dismember me, just make it quick,” Fengdu Great Emperor said weakly.

“Heh heh, you've misunderstood me,” Song Zhong's voice grew even deeper. “I have a Magic Treasure,

named Great Compassion and Great Grief Rescue Banner. It currently lacks a main Soul, so I invite the Great Emperor to join me in my banner.”

Damn it!

Great Compassion and Great Grief Rescue Banner?

Isn't that name a bit contradictory?

Needs a main Soul to guard it? This banner sounds quite shady.

“A scholar may be killed but not humiliated,” Fengdu Great Emperor squeezed out a few words with his last bit of strength.

“Things have come to this; it's no longer up to you,” Song Zhong's tone suddenly turned cold.

Endless Yin Wind blew across Song Zhong's face, and a burst of ghostly wails suddenly echoed from within the massive Peach Gate.

The temperature of the entire Fengdu Ghost City plummeted, and in an instant, strong winds raged, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Bai Li Pang Pang quickly took out [Yaoguang], and a protective shield, like a candlelight flame, enveloped everyone.

“What's happening?” Cao Yuan stared at the anomaly of the Peach Gate, asking with a tremble.

“So cold, I don't know, but it feels like something is about to come out,” Shen Qingzhu said.

Just then, a rift was torn open in the space of the Peach Gate, and a one-armed ghost general, holding a large banner, slowly walked out.

As soon as that large banner appeared, the chilling aura intensified a few more points, and the Soul-stirring wails came from the salvation banner.

Lin Qi Ye and the others widened their eyes; that banner was extremely eerie.

Upon the icy banner pole, numerous Souls were bound, seemingly enduring immense pain, their faces twisted in agony.

If you observed carefully, you would notice that most of the Souls on it were those just snatched from Osiris's grasp.

There was also cultural difference among the souls; they didn't know who Song Zhong was, and most, of course, chose to resist.

And becoming nourishment for the salvation banner was the consequence of their resistance.

Zhao Kongcheng glanced in Lin Qi Ye's direction, but it was just a fleeting look.

With his single arm, he vigorously waved the Great Compassion and Great Grief Rescue Banner in the air.

Chen Muye stood to the side, and the two ghosts simultaneously shouted, “Enter my Ghost Country, and gain eternal life! Rescue from suffering and hardship, Souls return!”

On the rustling salvation banner, the blood-red character “ end” (Zhong/End) was particularly striking.

Streams of murderous Qi emanated from the character “ end,” as if only blood could soothe this desire.

“Ugh!”

Cao Yuan, standing on the ground, merely glanced at the salvation banner and suddenly felt his heart begin to pound violently.

An inexplicable desire for slaughter filled his mind.

Cao Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt on the ground, clutching his heart.

“Hehehe… kill, kill, kill…”

“No, I can't…”

Two voices simultaneously came from Cao Yuan's mouth, as if two Souls were vying for control of his body.

“Oh no, Cao Zei is about to have an episode.”

Bai Li Pang Pang quickly took out the [Cao Yuan Chastity Belt] and directly tied it around Cao Yuan's neck.

“Brothers, lend a hand.” Bai Li Pang Pang quickly called to the others to come over, because he noticed that this time Cao Yuan was a bit different.

In the past, as soon as the [Seal Tape] touched Cao Yuan, his abnormal state would immediately be suppressed.

But now, even though Bai Li Pang Pang had used all his might, Cao Yuan still kept “hehehe-ing” from his mouth.

“Today's Cao Zei is a bit evil,” sweat beaded on Bai Li Pang Pang's forehead, but it was no use at all.

Several people quickly stepped forward, like slaughtering a New Year's pig, desperately holding down Cao Yuan's limbs.

But the madness on Cao Yuan's face deepened.

“Hehehe, kill, kill all of you!”

Just then, Galan walked to Cao Yuan's side.

She extended her fair hand and gently pressed it against Cao Yuan's forehead.

“Ah!”

Cao Yuan let out a tragic cry, then his eyes lost focus, and he fell unconscious.

[Immortality] represents stability; Galan used her methods to forcibly stabilize Cao Yuan.

Everyone looked at this Mysterious Young Miss in surprise, and an absurd thought popped into Whirlpool's mind.

It seemed that this Young Miss was the real powerhouse.

“Just sleep… and you'll be fine,” Galan said.

Watching Cao Yuan's breathing gradually stabilize, everyone finally relaxed.

At this moment, An Qingyu said, “Look, Fengdu Great Emperor has gone mad.”

Everyone looked up and saw that Chen Muye and Zhao Kongcheng had already arrived beside Fengdu Great Emperor.

That yellow salvation banner had somehow wrapped around Fengdu Great Emperor's body.

The blood-red character “ end” emitted an eerie red glow, and Fengdu Great Emperor's tied-up hair was already disheveled.

His eyes were blood-red, and his expression was ferocious.

“You mere boy, how dare you!

Ah ah ah ah ah…

Song Zhong, I'm going to kill you.”

The Reincarnation Law had been completely devoured by the Sun Origin, and Fengdu Great Emperor had completely lost his power.

“Hate, hate! The more you hate me, the stronger the salvation banner's power will be.”

Song Zhong's eyes gleamed with excitement as he began his verbal assault.

“Do you feel utterly incompetent?

Fengdu Great Emperor, you can't even defend your own Fengdu Ghost City,

watching helplessly as your Reincarnation Law is carved up,

but what can you do?

Sleep, like a mouse,

No, even a cornered mouse knows to bite,

You can't even manage your own small territory, how can you protect Great Xia?

Among the Gods of Great Xia, with or without you, it's all the same.”

Fengdu Great Emperor, whose mind was already in chaos, had never suffered such humiliation. “Ah ah ah, Song Zhong, Song Zhong, Song Zhong…”

Fengdu Great Emperor's figure dissolved into nothingness, and a faint glow was absorbed into the salvation banner.

In an instant, the salvation banner burst forth with a blood-red light, dyeing the entire sky red.

Song Zhong took the salvation banner.

“Hehehe, hehehe, hahahahaha, it's done, it's finally done.”

Just then, he heard a System prompt in his ear.

[Detecting host terminating a god. Passive skill 'Bloodlust' activated. Overall combat power increased by 10% for 10 minutes. Can be stacked infinitely.]

Song Zhong let out a long howl to the sky, a earth-shattering pressure almost tearing space apart.

“Jie hahaha,” Song Zhong looked at Osiris, “Now, it's your turn.”

Osiris inexplicably felt a chill. “Wait, aren't we partners?”

“Yes, once I helped you deal with Fengdu Great Emperor, we were even.

So, killing you now is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?”
