I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 104: Crisis Temporarily Postponed

"hold onto!"

"Everyone hold on, persistence is victory!"

"You have persisted for so long, victory is just around the corner, don't give up!"

Taoist Wuying's highly infectious voice echoed throughout Taiyuan City, constantly boosting morale.

The situation of chaos among the people never happened again.

After that ideological education, everyone was aware of the need to live and die with Taiyuan City and to resist until the last moment.

However, some things cannot be accomplished by just shouting slogans and having determination.

Just like no matter how strong a mortal's willpower is, he cannot lift an adult elephant.

——What about a blue whale?

The current situation in Taiyuan City is that there is an absolute power gap between humans and monsters.

No matter how hard everyone in Taiyuan City tried, the protective barrier was still irreversibly heading towards breaking.

Finally, the protective barrier began to flicker, appearing and disappearing at any time.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda is covered with cracks and may collapse at any time.

The people of Taiyuan City huddled together with their families.

Adults held their children in their arms, husbands held their wives in their arms, men bit their lips, women covered their mouths, and parents covered their children's eyes.

Everyone tried hard not to cry, hoping to face death calmly and with the most dignified attitude.

"Follow me, fellow monks, and let's go out of the city and kill the enemy!"

Taoist Wuying gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, preparing to take the remaining monks in the city out of the city to deal with the most threatening fire giant and buy some more time for Taiyuan City.

Just when the monks were ready to die at the risk of everything, an accident occurred.

The fire giant, who was muttering to himself incoherently and frantically attacking the Taiyuan City barrier, suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream, and retreated repeatedly, holding his stomach.

Then with a loud bang, it exploded into a sky full of red flames and suddenly disappeared.

A golden figure flew out from the sea of ​​fire, with rays of light behind him. With a whoosh, he flew from outside the barrier into Taiyuan City.

Landed on the open space in front of the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

The monks in Taiyuan City felt as if they were facing a great enemy, thinking it was an enemy and subconsciously wanted to attack.

But after seeing the figure clearly, they immediately stopped what they were doing and shouted in surprise.

"Lord Yan?!"

"Fellow Daoist Yan!"

The person who emerged from the flame giant's body was Yan Chixia, who everyone thought was already dead. The monks and people in Taiyuan City were immediately overjoyed.

The fire giant was eliminated, and Yan Chixia returned safely - and judging by the divine light flowing around him and the extraordinary aura he had, it seemed that he had become even stronger - everyone in Taiyuan City suddenly felt that they were saved.

This is true.

After returning, Yan Chixia's temperament changed drastically, and he became much colder and more majestic than before.

There was also a glowing rune on his forehead, but no one knew what it said. All they knew was that the glowing words made Yan Chixia inexplicably look more sacred and majestic, which was intimidating.

"Friend Yan, how did you escape?"

"The other four fellow Taoists..."

Taoist Wuying stepped forward to ask. Yan Chixia did not reply immediately, but stared at the Xuanhuang Pagoda for a long time, and suddenly pinched the magic formula and cast a spell.

Yan Chixia injected a series of profound spells into the Xuanhuang Pagoda that Taoist Wuying could not understand. An amazing scene appeared: the cracks on the Xuanhuang Pagoda slowly healed, and the barrier above Taiyuan City was stabilized again.

But the barrier also changed from gold to gray.

A magical thing happened immediately. After Yan Chixia changed the barrier, the fire monsters that were besieging Taiyuan City suddenly stopped moving, and then ran around outside the city like headless flies.

It looks like... we all suddenly lost our goal?

Yan Chixia took a step forward and lightly touched the Vulture Taoist's forehead with the fingers of his right hand. A large amount of mysterious and obscure magical knowledge immediately flooded into the Vulture Taoist's mind.

“Fellow Daoist Vulture, this is the Breath Holding Technique and the Spiritual Sense Sealing Array. It can temporarily conceal your Qi and prevent you from being discovered by the evil spirits of the fire. Please pass it on to other cities with your fellow Daoists.”

[It turns out that those fire monsters are called Hellfire Demons...]

[Strange. I remember that karmic fire is a Buddhist theory? It seems that it only burns people who are entangled in sin.]

[This red flame is extremely cold, but it is totally inconsistent with the description of the hellfire in the book...]

Taoist Priest Vulture was puzzled, but he couldn't help but ask, "Daoyou Yan, what about you?"

He felt that Yan Chixia seemed to be doing something urgent, as if he was making arrangements for his funeral.

Yan Chixia glanced at the haggard and uneasy people in Taiyuan City, then glanced at the monsters outside the city, and sighed softly.

"I am going to the underworld."

"???"

Taoist Wuying was stunned. Isn't the underworld closed?

"Daoyou, I'll leave the affairs of the Yang world to you."

"treasure!"

Yan Chixia clasped his fists and saluted.

With a wave of his arm in the air, a dark crack appeared. Then he took a step forward and disappeared into the crack, and the crack closed instantly.

Taoist Wuying stared blankly at the place where Yan Chixia disappeared.

I tried, but couldn't open the passage to the underworld.

The Taoist priest couldn't help but puzzled.

[The escape technique to the underworld has indeed failed. Why was he able to do it? ]

……

The underworld, somewhere outside Fengdu City.

An inconspicuous black stone slid quickly across the ground, almost as fast as a person running.

The black stone moved in a serpentine manner, carefully avoiding the evil fire spirits along the way, without attracting any attention from them.

The Hellfire Spirits were only interested in living things or things with souls. Stones? Not interested. As for why a stone moved, they didn't think much about it because they had no brains.

So he didn't know that there was a man hiding inside this moving black stone, preparing to sneak out of the underworld.

[This evil spirit of karmic fire is too terrifying! ]

[No wonder that little Lu was frightened and went crazy.]

【Fortunately, I have the Book of Life and Death. 】

The Black Mountain Demon hiding in the stone was still in fear and was careful to avoid all evil spirits.

He was not paying attention when he was running away earlier and he bumped into a vicious spirit and almost died on the spot.

Fortunately, the Book of Life and Death automatically protected him, and he decisively sacrificed part of his body, thus escaping the disaster.

After that, he never dared to be careless again and dared not fly with the wind anymore. Instead, he moved carefully on the ground to avoid hitting the evil fire spirits or being hit by them.

The Book of Life and Death can conceal his breath so that he cannot be discovered by the evil spirits of karma and fire.

[There are so many evil spirits of karmic fire, I can't stay in the underworld anymore. I'd better go to the world of the living, saving my life is the most important thing. ]

The Black Mountain Demon didn't know that the barrier of the underworld had been broken, and he still thought that the human world was safe.

If he worked so hard to come to the human world and found that it was not much better than the underworld, I wonder if he would cry to death.

It's a pity that he didn't have this opportunity...

"Sa!"

A black crack suddenly appeared in front of the Black Mountain Old Demon, and then a burly man with a leopard head, round eyes, iron face and curly beard jumped out from it and blocked his way.
