Chapter 242 Xia Ling is in danger, Cao Yanbing saves her
In Rakshasa Street, Xia Ling ran frantically, trying to escape the pursuit of the evil spirits, but she was just an ordinary woman after all, how could she possibly escape the pursuit of the evil spirits?

Li Ye hid in the dark and saw everything, but he did not take action because he knew that Cao Yanbing would be here soon.

You know what, Li Ye is still quite curious now, what would be different about Cao Yanbing if Yu Jin was not dead?

In the original comic, among the three martial gods, Cao Yanbing's initial hell is the lowest, and his initial number of guardian spirit awakenings and awakening progress are also behind Liu Yuchan and Sun Zhantian.

Li Ye felt that this was more or less related to the unfortunate death of Yu Jin, Cao Yanbing's first guardian spirit, in battle.

The guardian spirit and the spirit host have an equal contractual relationship. The guardian spirit's duty is to protect the spirit host. The two are close partners and comrades-in-arms. The death of one will inevitably have a significant impact on the other.

Li Ye guessed that one of the important reasons why Cao Yanbing was inferior to Liu Yuchan and Sun Zhantian, the two great martial gods, in the early stage was that Yu Jin died early.

But now, under his influence, Yu Jin did not die in the battle, so Cao Yanbing has eight guardian spirits, which is even more powerful than in the original book.

So, without the influence of Yu Jin's early death, how strong would Cao Yanbing be now?
We'll see you soon, stay tuned!

"what"

"what"

In the dark night, the moonlight was obscured by thick dark clouds, and the whole street looked particularly eerie and terrifying. A young girl was running fast on the street. It was Xia Ling. Her face was full of fear, and her eyes kept looking around, as if something terrible would rush out of the darkness at any time.

Behind her, a group of evil spirits were chasing closely. These evil spirits were of different shapes and hideous faces, wearing tattered clothes and armor, and exuding a rotten smell. Their eyes flashed with a faint green light, and they emitted low roars and sharp screams. The evil spirits flew in the darkness, their bodies sometimes materialized, and sometimes turned into a ball of black mist, at an extremely fast speed.

The girl's heart was beating violently, and her ears were filled with the roars of the evil spirits getting closer and closer. She didn't dare to stop, and the dead leaves and branches under her feet made a creaking sound as she ran. She knew that once she was caught by these evil spirits, she would be waiting for endless torture and pain.

Entering a grove of trees, the trees were tall and dense, and the branches and leaves swayed in the wind, making a low rustling sound, as if praying for the girl, and also as if mocking her helplessness. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of her, and the fire of hope in the girl was ignited again. She ran towards the light with all her strength, as if it was her only salvation.

The evil spirits realized her intention, roared even more frantically, and accelerated their pace of pursuit. Their sharp claws flashed cold light in the air, as if they were going to grab her back in the next moment. The girl felt the cold air behind her getting closer and closer, and could almost smell the stench of the evil spirits.

In a courtyard in the center of Luosha Street, a big boy was sitting there cleaning a stick-like weapon, while another slightly younger boy was standing in the courtyard and said to the big boy, "Brother, there are many evil spirits gathered at the entrance of Luosha Street, and there is also an ordinary person, and the other one cannot be felt."

The older boy bandaged the cleaned weapon, put it behind him, and said to the younger boy in a casual manner:
"Another ordinary person who strayed into the Soul Street. No one can run wild in my territory."

"what!!"

Xia Ling screamed as a skinny arm grabbed her ankle.

"Snapped!"

Her ankle was grabbed, Xia Ling lost her balance and fell directly to the ground.

"how come?"

Xia Ling lay on the ground and looked back. It turned out that an evil spirit crawled out from the ground and grabbed her ankle. Now she was caught and had no way to escape.

He was surrounded by evil spirits from all sides, with no way to retreat or escape.

"What should I do? Is my life going to end here? No, my wonderful life has just begun!"

"Ow"

"Ouch."

"Ouch."

"woo"

Several evil spirits' claws grabbed Xia Ling's delicate body.

"Xia Ling, this silly girl, has a nice figure!"

Li Ye was always paying attention to Xia Ling's situation. When the moment came to be a last resort, he had to rescue Xia Ling.

He couldn't just watch Xia Ling get into trouble.

"It's over now. Who can come and save me?!"

Xia Ling's whole body was shaking, and her voice was filled with despair and sorrow.

At this moment, an evil spirit let out a shrill scream, its throat was pierced directly, and then it fell backwards weakly.

Xia Ling and the other evil spirits shifted their gaze to the eaves of a house not far away.

On the top of a house, I saw two figures, one big and one small, standing proudly. Under the moonlight, they looked like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

"Ha, we arrived just in time! There are so many evil spirits!"

The smaller figure looked at the girl and the evil spirit below, and spoke to the taller figure beside him.

"interesting!"

The taller figure was holding a stick-like weapon and was watching the scene with interest.

"Be gentle and careful, don't hurt that sister!"

The two of them jumped down and attacked the evil spirit.

In mid-air, Cao Xuanliang gave instructions to Cao Yanbing.

"Ah~ I know, no need for you to remind me!"

Cao Yanbing drew out the Ten Kings of Hell behind him and chopped at the numerous evil spirits.

"Listen up, you bastards! I am the Soul Suppressor of Luosha Street!"

"It's Fire General Cao Yanbing!"

As he spoke, his spiritual energy surged throughout his body, blazing flames burned fiercely, and the temperature of the surrounding air continued to rise, as if he was in a field of fire.

Cao Yanbing's long hair danced in the flames, and he looked like the incarnation of flames. The Ten Hells of Hell flashed with blazing light in his hands, and the outer shell was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, exuding an indomitable pressure.

"Dayan splits the sky!"

Facing many evil spirits, Fire General Cao Yanbing showed no fear. He waved the Ten Hells of Hell, and wherever the flames passed, the evil spirits were turned into ashes. Every time he waved, a raging flame would ignite, and the evil spirits screamed and turned into ashes in the flames. Fire General's movements were as swift as the wind and as accurate as thunder, and the evil spirits were simply unable to resist his attack.

As the battle progressed, the fire general Cao Yanbing's momentum became stronger and stronger. Every attack he made was like a fire from heaven, burning the evil spirits to ashes. The Ten Hells of Hell was not only a weapon, but also a domineering artifact passed down from generation to generation by the Cao family, specially designed to deal with these evil spirits. Every evil spirit had nowhere to hide under the sword light and was wiped out in an instant.

On the other side, Cao Xuanliang came to Xia Ling's side and looked at Xia Ling carefully with a pair of clear and clean eyes.

"He looks like an ordinary person anyway."

Then he muttered to himself with a hint of doubt.

“Ah yeah!?”

Seeing Xia Ling at a loss, Cao Xuanliang laughed and then said something that made Xia Ling shudder.

"Sister, you have walked into the gates of hell! This is not a place for ordinary people to come!"

"This is Soul-Calming Street, a place that absorbs the souls of the dead. Every street has a Soul-Calming General to maintain order, and my brother is the Soul-Calming General of this Luosha Street!"

Cao Xuanliang looked at Cao Yanbing's tall back and slowly began to explain to Xia Ling.

Hiding in the dark, Li Ye calmly watched Cao Yanbing destroy many evil spirits easily. "The aura of the peak of Jiaore is indeed much stronger than the Jiaore level 6 in the original book. It seems that it is just as I expected. Yu Jin's death has a great negative impact on Cao Yanbing, seriously hindering Cao Yanbing's progress in the early stage of cultivation, causing him to lag behind Sun Zhantian and Liu Yuchan in the progress of Hell and Guardian Spirit Awakening."

"You little brat, it's fine if you don't come to help, but you're still chatting away."

After dealing with the group of evil spirits, Cao Yanbing turned around and complained to Cao Xuanliang.

"Haha~"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xuanliang smiled awkwardly, held the back of his head with his hands and laughed.

Xia Ling was stunned when she saw Cao Yanbing's face. This man looked so familiar.
"Ah! You are."

“This sound?”

When Cao Yanbing heard Xia Ling's voice, he felt it was particularly familiar, as if it was that stinky woman's.
"It's you!?"

"It's you?!"

They both pointed at each other in unison, unable to believe it.

"Gossip! Why do you always cause trouble for me no matter where we go!?"

Cao Yanbing took the initiative to settle all the new and old grudges and criticized Xia Ling verbally and in writing.

"Trouble?! You need to explain everything here to me!"

How could Xia Ling tolerate Cao Yanbing? She angrily fought back without showing any weakness.

Cao Xuanliang could only cover his ears, downplay his presence, and dared not get involved at all.

"Ow?"

"Ow?"

The evil spirits made strange noises, as if they were welcoming the arrival of some existence.

"You guys who are filming this are really going too far! Do you want to scare people to death in the middle of the night??!"

"What? Filming? Where do you think you are now?"

"You silly girl! You still don't understand what situation you are in!"

"How on earth did you get in here?!"

Cao Yanbing then realized that Xia Ling still didn't understand her current situation at all and thought she was filming a movie.

Li Ye watched the two people quarreling and bickering with interest, thinking:

"They are indeed a pair of happy enemies!"

Little did she know that she had already stepped into the gates of hell and arrived in the underworld!
Cao Yanbing sensed that a powerful guy had arrived here and had no time to continue bickering with Xia Ling.

"It's so noisy! Shut up!"

Cao Yanbing reached out and covered Xia Ling's mouth, preventing her from continuing to speak.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Xia Ling's mouth was blocked by Cao Yanbing's hand, and she was completely unable to speak and could only make humming sounds.

"Isn't it true that the show has just begun?!"

Under the dark night sky, a strong chill rose from this desolate street. The ground was shaking, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere. Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard in the distance, and a tall evil spirit general gradually appeared.

This evil spirit general was huge and tall, like a moving mountain. His entire body was covered in black armor, which was covered with complex runes and sharp edges, emitting a terrifying dark light. With every step he took, the ground seemed to tremble under his feet.

His face was covered by a hideous ghost mask, revealing only a pair of red eyes full of hatred and malice, his eyes revealing endless evil and power. His long hair fell from under his helmet like a black waterfall, fluttering with his movements.

The evil spirit general held a huge spear in his hand. The spear was completely black, and the tip of the spear flashed a cold light, as if it could pierce the souls of all living things. The shaft of the spear was wrapped with dark red runes, emitting a fascinating aura. Every time he swung the spear, a low humming sound would be heard in the air, like the call of the underworld.

Behind the evil spirit general, there followed many tall and burly evil spirits wearing armor, with green eyes. They were all armed with sharp weapons, looked aggressive, and exuded a gloomy and evil aura.

"Are you the Soul Suppressor of this Rakshasa Street?"

The evil spirit general stood in front of many evil spirit soldiers, his eyes full of viciousness and tyranny, and asked Cao Yanbing.

"It is indeed a higher level evil spirit that can speak human language!"

Cao Yanbing reached out to adjust his round-frame glasses and commented with disdain on the evil spirit general in front of him.

"How rude! We were human beings in our previous lives, so how could we not speak human language? Let's be frank and speak frankly!"

"I came here this time for only one purpose!"

"Then I ask you to hand over Rakshasa Street!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanbing was stunned.

Cao Xuanliang was filled with righteous indignation, clenched his fists and shouted:
"What!? This is too arrogant! Who do you think you are?"

"This is really a headache. The evil spirit actually wants to climb over my head."

"Did you know that the Soul-Suppressing Generals are personally selected by the Spirit Realm?"

"Although there is more than one Soul-Realizing Street, Luosha Street has the most evil spirits!"

"If it weren't for the Soul-Suppressing General, this would be the most dangerous place!"

"If we let the evil spirits manage this place, we'll be in big trouble if they rebel!"

"That's what you planned, right?"

Cao Yanbing spoke slowly and calmly.

The fundamental reason why there are so many evil spirits in Luosha Street is the Sophora japonica tree. As one of the four sacred trees, the Sophora japonica tree absorbs and exhales the energy of heaven and earth, releases pure spiritual power, and contains a huge amount of spiritual power. It has a fatal attraction to the undead. The more undead gather, the more evil spirits there are.

"Why would a dying person ask so many questions?"

The evil spirit general was extremely arrogant, and seemed to have Cao Yanbing in his grasp, as if Rakshasa Street was already in his pocket.

"Not necessarily!"

This evil spirit general's hell realm is not low, it has reached the scorching level, which is considered a high-level evil spirit. However, in front of Cao Yanbing, who is at the peak of scorching level and has the body of a martial god, he is still not good enough.

"How many guardian spirits have you awakened now, Cao Yanbing?"

Li Ye, who was in hiding, was very curious about how many guardian spirits Cao Yanbing had now. Logically speaking, he had already awakened three guardian spirits on the Island of Dead Souls, namely Yu Jin, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei, and there should be more now.

It is not known whether the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan have awakened.
