Chapter 243: Cao Yanbing's Divine Manifestation, the Eternal Giant Python
The evil spirit general and the fire general Cao Yanbing stood opposite each other. The evil spirit general was tall and mighty, holding a huge spear, with an evil red light flashing in his eyes. The fire general Cao Yanbing was wearing a flaming armor, holding the mysterious and powerful Ten Courts of Hell, and his eyes were burning with endless fighting spirit.

The fire and darkness between the two generals intertwined, forming a strange picture. The Fire General held the Ten Kings of Hell tightly in both hands, and the stick was emitting a mysterious purple-gold light, which seemed to contain endless terrifying power. The Evil Spirit General swung his spear, making a harsh crackling sound, but the Fire General's cold eyes revealed determination and coldness.

The evil spirit general roared like a demon from hell, and his whole body burst out with a fierce killing intent as he rushed towards the fire general. Facing the attack of the evil spirit, the fire general was not afraid at all and faced it with a fierce attitude. The Ten Kings of Hell turned into an invisible force in his hands, releasing a blazing flame to block the attack of the evil spirit's spear.

"Yes, it's quite powerful!"

The evil spirit general felt the tremendous force coming from the gun, and the red light in his eyes became even brighter.

The duel between fire and darkness was about to break out. General Fire waved the Ten Hells of Hell, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The shadow of the stick drew a trail of flames in the air, like a dragon of fire circling up. General Evil sneered, and stabbed General Fire with his spear like lightning. The conflict between fire and darkness collided with a bang, stirring up a raging wave of fire and entangled with the cold black air.

Cao Yanbing's strength and fighting skills were fully demonstrated in this battle. With the peak of the hell spirit power and the incredible energy of the Ten Kings of Hell, he defeated the various attacks of the evil spirit general. Flames rose up, and the blazing flames were like a surging ocean, surrounding the evil spirit general. The fierce flames and the evil of darkness all erupted at this moment.

"Die!"

The evil spirit general burst out with spiritual power, and swung the spear in his hand towards Cao Yanbing with such force that it seemed as if he was splitting Mount Hua.

Cao Yanbing grabbed the Ten Kings of Hell and blocked the spear in the hands of the evil spirit general, shouting:

"break!!"

The red flames grew brighter, and the scorching flames illuminated the night.

Cao Yanbing directly broke the Evil Spirit General's spear. The Evil Spirit General looked at the broken spear in his hand with horror in his eyes.

"What a powerful force!"

But Cao Yanbing didn't care what he thought, and finally said:
"Flames can be visible or invisible!"

"Yanwang Cannon!"

Cao Yanbing injected a large amount of fire spiritual power into the Ten Kings of Hell. The Ten Kings of Hell turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and patterns like lava appeared. Flames continued to gather at the heads of the sticks, and the light became brighter.

A terrifying explosion sounded, and the flame-condensed Yama Cannon roared towards the evil spirit general.

"Boom!!!"

"Pretty!"

Cao Xuanliang on the side couldn't help but applaud and cheer for his brother.

But then, a black gas began to spread from the center of the explosion.

The evil spirit general was covered in black air and burst out with power, which shook Cao Yanbing away. His right arm actually turned into a dark green giant python.

"Die!"

There was a fierce light in the evil spirit general's eyes, and his aura rose again. His right arm transformed into a giant python and suddenly stretched out its head and pounced on Cao Yanbing.

Cao Yanbing stretched out the Ten Kings of Hell to resist the giant python's bite, and the stick was pressed tightly against the giant python's bloody mouth.

"What can a mere flame do to me?"

"This ancient giant python is an evil spirit like me, and has merged with me over the long passage of time! If you want to fight two of them alone, aren't you just asking for trouble?! Haha!"

"Can you stop me? Now Rakshasa Street is our evil spirit's world!"

"Kill you, and then eat that little devil and that little girl! Hahaha!"

But before he could finish his words, flames burst out all around him. The blazing hellfire burned fiercely. The hellfire followed the Ten Kings of Hell and burned the so-called ancient giant python. The giant python could not endure the horrible high temperature, let out a sharp roar, and returned to the side of the evil spirit general.

"Huh? What's going on? Such a hot flame!"

The evil spirit general cried out in shock as his skin cracked and stung from the intense heat of hellfire.

"It was quite powerful. It almost bit me."

"You, the giant python, are quite interesting, but if that's all you want to do, you won't be able to leave today!"

"Leader, do you know why the Spirit Realm sent humans to serve as soul-suppressing generals to guard Soul Street?"

“Evil spirits are certainly powerful, but when humans and the dead reach a consensus, the combination of yin and yang can produce a more powerful force.”

"In the Spirit Realm, people like us are called spirit-hosting people. In other words, I still have a guardian spirit!!"

"And he is already very impatient with you!!! He wants to chop you off with his sword!"

"Right, Yu Jin!"

A huge ball of flame appeared behind Cao Yanbing, and in the flame, a tall and burly figure gradually solidified.

Yu Jin is tall and muscular. He has black hair and sharp eyes, giving people a serious and determined impression. His body is covered with scars from battles, showing his bravery and fortitude from countless battles.

Yu Jin's outfit is also quite unique. He wears brown armor with the Cao family emblem on it, indicating that he is the guardian spirit of Cao Yanbing. On his waist hangs the seal of "The World's Best General" given to him by Cao Yanbing, which is also a symbol of his loyalty and honor. In his right hand, he holds a huge sword called Yeming Jueduan Sword, and the blade shines with cold light, showing his strong fighting power and decisiveness.

A famous general of the Wei Dynasty, better than the ancient generals, one of the Five Best Generals, Yu Jin, Yu Wen Ze!
The terrifying aura emanating from Yu Jin immediately frightened the evil spirit general. He instantly lost his will to fight and screamed:

"No, it's impossible!"

"Yu Jin, cut it off!"

Cao Yanbing's eyes were full of coldness, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he gave orders to Yu Jin.

"As ordered!"

Yu Jin responded immediately, swinging his sword towards the evil spirit general.

"Run!"

General Evil and his men immediately turned and fled.

"How dare you, a mere ant, act so presumptuously here!"

Yu Jin's lantern-like eyes were filled with frost. They were clearly burning with hellfire, yet they made people feel like they were falling into an icy cave.

The sword flashed, and the evil spirit general turned into pieces.

The powerful energy caused a violent storm, almost knocking Cao Xuanliang and Xia Ling over.

"What a huge monster!!!"

Xia Ling was stunned, and her worldview was severely impacted by the Yu Jin in front of her.

"That's my brother's guardian spirit! It's completely materialized. It seems my brother is really angry!"

Yu Jin inserted the Ye Ming Duan Jue Knife into the ground and stared quietly at the many evil spirits in front of him.

"If there's anyone who wants to be like that bastard, come up and try!"

"This is Rakshasa Street, but I have the final say!"

"Ow!!"

"Ow"

The numerous evil spirits looked at each other, hesitating to move forward.

Seeing this, Yu Jin punched the ground. In an instant, the earth shook and the streets shattered.

The huge shock wave blew away the surrounding floor, and a huge pit appeared on the ground.

The evil spirits' psychological defenses completely collapsed. They were all terrified to the extreme. They feared Cao Yanbing as if he were a tiger and fell to their knees.

"That's how you behave!"

Cao Yanbing's coquettish hair reveals his kingly aura.

"He! He! He brought those zombie-like things to their knees!??"

Xia Ling was extremely shocked. What happened tonight really impacted her three views. The zombie-like evil spirits, the humans who controlled fire, the giant general who was more than ten feet tall, one by one, kept telling her the truth, that is, this world did not seem to be as simple as she imagined, and beneath the calm surface of the water, there were still fantastic waves hidden.

Li Ye looked at the many evil spirits kneeling down to Cao Yanbing, and at Cao Yanbing who was beginning to show his heroic temperament. Li Ye raised his eyebrows and thought to himself:

"You are indeed the descendant of Cao Mengde, a capable minister in a peaceful era and a hero in a chaotic era. Xu Chen is not lying to me!"

"If the underworld is peaceful and orderly, then Cao Yanbing will be the Fire General who protects the area. If the underworld is in chaos and corruption, then Cao Yanbing will be the Fiery King who dominates the area and competes for supremacy in the world."

Luosha Street, inside the Cao family residence.

"So, I have indeed entered the gates of hell."

"Um"

"Okay, I believe it."

After listening to Cao Xuanliang's explanation, Xia Ling was silent for a long time and finally believed in the existence of the underworld and Zhenhun Street.

"You think you're okay? Stop kidding!"

Cao Yanbing looked at Xia Ling with a melancholy face, raised his eyebrows and said with disdain.

"Although there are very few cases of mortals entering the Soul Town Street, there are always occasional times when the Soul Town General must use spiritual power to remove the neurons in the person's brain and erase the person's memory to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and prevent the existence of the underworld and the Soul Town Street from being known to ordinary people."

When Xia Ling heard this, her whole body trembled, her heartbeat slowed down, and her scalp went numb. She seemed to see Cao Yanbing's big hand pressing on her head, using his spiritual power to cut off her brain neurons and erase her memory.

"Since we are destined to be together, even though you were a bit aggressive during the day, I will still be careful so as not to accidentally cut you into a little idiot."

Cao Yanbing looked at Xia Ling with a hideous and evil smile on his face.

"Wait a moment!!!"

Xia Ling looked at Cao Yanbing's terrifying and ferocious smile and immediately became timid. She quickly said:
"I accept that I have fallen into your hands. But I won't accept it, at least not until my memory is erased."

"Tell me what this place is all about."

"It's okay to call!"

"To be precise, this is a transitional area from the human world to the realm. The undead souls and evil spirits that have not been liberated will stay here."

"In principle, the Soul-Suppressing Sect is forbidden from entering the Spirit Realm, but the undead can be managed here, so this is a world where humans and the undead coexist."

"There are tens of thousands of Soul-Suppressing Streets, with entrances scattered throughout the human world, and there are countless Soul-Suppressing Generals. If there is no special reason, they generally do not interfere with each other, but this situation has changed to a great extent now."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because of one person, a man who is like a ghost. Since entering the underworld, he has never met an opponent. Even Xiang Kunlun, the descendant of Xiang Yu, who is known as the living overlord, was defeated by him. He is now the commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes and nominally the leader of all the soul-suppressing generals in the underworld. After he defeated Xiang Kunlun and ascended to the top of the Hall of Heroes, he reformed many soul-suppressing streets and the Hall of Heroes, expanded the sphere of influence of the Hall of Heroes, and brought many soul-suppressing streets under the direct jurisdiction of the Hall of Heroes. Now the situation of the soul-suppressing streets being independent of each other and fighting on their own has changed a lot."

"He is the descendant of Li Tang, Li Ye!"

Cao Yanbing had a complicated expression when he recounted these things.

"Descendant of Li Tang? Could he be a descendant of Li Shimin?"

"Yes, you guessed it right, he is indeed a descendant of Li Shimin."

"Ah? What else do you want to know? Ask now."

Cao Yanbing folded his arms across his chest, looking calm and composed.

"What is that monster?"

Xia Ling thought about it and asked doubtfully.

"Monster? Are you talking about Yu Jin?" "Yu Jin! There's a girl here who really wants to meet you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and burly figure wearing armor and holding a ring-handled sword appeared behind Cao Yanbing.

"my pleasure!"

"what!!!"

When Yu Jin appeared, Xia Ling saw stars and was instantly shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from Yu Jin.

Not everyone can have a guardian spirit, but if you have one, you will get some help no matter what you do, but there will be a cold feeling behind you occasionally.

"My guardian spirit is Yu Jin, a great general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was appointed General Anyuan, and was granted the title of General of the Anyuan Army. He was one of the Five Elite Generals. His courtesy name was Wen Ze."

"Maybe it's because I'm a descendant of Cao Cao. Now he's my right-hand man!"

Cao Yanbing's face was full of confidence when he said this.

"My lord, you are too kind!"

Yu Jin clasped his hands together and saluted Cao Yanbing.

"Wait a minute. If you are also a spirit host, then you can indeed enter the Soul Street."

"And I don't have to erase your memory."

"But the strange thing is, there is not a single bit of spiritual energy in you!!!"

“He’s just a human being.”

Cao Yanbing looked at Xia Ling in confusion, somewhat confused.

"Aren't you a human being too?!"

"Although I am also a human, the characteristic of a spirit host is that I can travel between the Soul Street and the human world without any responsibility!"

"So, my brother mainly delivers food during the day, and manages this place at night!"

"Due to wars and a dramatic increase in population, the number of undead is also increasing rapidly, which has long exceeded the control capabilities of the spirit realm. Therefore, the history of using humans to manage the undead has lasted for nearly a thousand years."

"When the spirit power of a spirit host reaches a certain level, the spirit realm will send an envoy to persuade the spirit host to manage the Soul Street. The reward is that after the person dies, he or she can directly enter the spirit realm and enjoy very high treatment. Because humans are destined to grow old, get sick and die, people hope to have a good status after death, so most people are happy to do so."

"Ah ha ha"

“It makes my head hurt!”

"If you're feeling overwhelmed, go to bed. I'll deal with you tomorrow."

"It's so late, you wouldn't dare to go there!"

"Let's go to bed!"

After saying this, Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

"I remembered something."

Xia Ling seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly stopped Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang who were about to leave.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Cao Yanbing, who was called, turned around and looked at Xia Ling who called him with some confusion.

"I saw a guy named Gui Fu San Tong in my email this morning."

Cao Yanbing was a little surprised when he heard this, he knew very well what this meant.

"Xiaoliang, what level of spirit host is required to be able to read the spirit message of Ghost Talisman Santong?"

Cao Xuanliang thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"It seems that waiting for life or above is not right, it needs to be above black rope!!"

"If that's the case, then she is a spirit host! And she is a spirit host with a high-level guardian spirit!"

"Is he like you?"

Xia Ling was also surprised that she was actually a spirit possessor!

"Is everything you said true?"

"I am also a spirit host? I also have a guardian spirit?"

Xia Ling pointed at herself in surprise and said in disbelief.

"Well, and he's not just any ordinary person."

Cao Yanbing stroked his chin with his left hand and spoke lightly.

"That's right!"

Cao Xuanliang quickly agreed.

In order to distinguish the levels of the Soul-Suppressing Generals, the Spirit Realm has established a level division system called the Hell Road, which represents the eight levels of hell. The higher the level of the Soul-Suppressing General and his guardian spirit, the longer, greater and stronger their spiritual power will be, and the place where they are stationed will naturally be more important. Of course, in order to become a Soul-Suppressing General, one must at least reach the level of Hell Road. Only when Hell Road reaches the level of Hell Road can it be considered a grade and a real spirit host. If it does not reach the level of Hell Road, it can only be said that it is an ordinary person with spiritual power.

The eight levels of hell are equal suffering, black rope, multitude, shouting, great shouting, burning heat, great burning heat, and finally, the endless hell!

The Eight Levels of Hell are named after the eight levels of hell among the eighteen levels of hell.

"Although you don't have spiritual power, you can see the spiritual message, so your guardian spirit's hell must be above the black rope level!"

Cao Yanbing told Xia Ling confidently that he had already made his own judgment about Xia Ling.

"My hell is the third level of hell, and my brother's hell was already the third level of hell a year ago."

"The tenth level of Jiaore has reached the pinnacle of the Jiaore realm. Only one step away, you can step into the threshold of Great Jiaore."

"In today's underworld, those who are at the Jiaore realm can be considered masters. They are the backbone of the major forces in the underworld and the mainstay of the underworld. However, those who are at the Great Jiaore realm are those who truly possess the ability to cause large-scale destruction. Only those who have reached the Great Jiaore realm can be considered high-end fighters! As for the Wujian realm, it is extremely rare in the history of the entire underworld. In today's underworld, it is almost an illusory legend."

"Then who is most likely to be Wu Jian in the underworld today?"

Xia Ling asked with some curiosity. Most people would be very interested in people with this kind of combat power ceiling.

Cao Yanbing pondered and was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:

"The most likely person in the underworld to be a spirit master of the Wujian level is probably only that person. He is a man that the entire spirit realm is terrified of today, the most wanted criminal in the spirit realm, the most recognized strongest spirit master of the previous generation, the strongest soul-suppressing general, Huangfu Longdou!"

"In addition, the current leader of the Hall of Heroes, Li Ye, is the strongest martial spirit holder in the world and is also known as the spirit host who is most likely to enter the Wuxian level in the future."

"No more talking! Xiaoliang, let this woman sleep in your bed tonight!"

"Ok."

Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang arranged Xia Ling's accommodation for the night in just a few words. Xia Ling had no say at all and could not resist, so she could only accept it.

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The moonlight was like water, and the clear light poured into the courtyard. The huge locust tree was now covered with silver light and was shining brightly.

In Cao Xuanliang's room, on the bed.

"I can't sleep. Is everything in front of me real? Or is it just a dream? "

"Could everything that happened here just be a fantasy or a dream before I die?"

Xia Ling tossed and turned on Cao Xuanliang's bed, completely unable to sleep. Her mind kept thinking about what had happened today, entering Rakshasa Street, encountering evil spirits, being chased by evil spirits, being rescued by Cao Yanbing, and the huge guardian spirit. All these events, one after another, kept appearing in her mind, making it impossible for her to sleep at all.

"If it's true, then there's a monster sleeping next to me, right?"

As he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cao Yanbing and Cao Xuanliang who were on the other bed with a complicated expression.

"Hey, never mind!"

Then he covered his head and prepared to go to sleep.

On the locust tree, Li Ye stepped on the thick branches, squatted down, touched the locust tree with his hands, felt the majestic and vast spiritual power contained in the tree and the divinity accumulated in the depths of the tree for thousands of years. In his mind, a plan gradually took shape.

"Such a divine object, if it was destroyed by Li Xuanyuan, wouldn't it be a waste of God's gift?"

"Although the spiritual locust tree must be destroyed to advance the plot, there is still a world of difference between being destroyed and not being destroyed. I will allow you to maximize your value."

The next morning, the sun was shining and the weather was clear.

"Mmm~ nice sunshine!!"

Xia Ling got up and walked out the door. The sunlight instantly covered her body, making her feel comfortable all over.

"Good morning, Xiaoliang, where is your brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Cao Yanbing standing under the huge locust tree.

"A stuffy man~~~"

"I didn't expect that in this place full of evil spirits and ghosts, there is such good sunshine, hehe~~"

Xia Ling was smiling and in a good mood.

"Is it funny?"

Cao Yanbing turned around and questioned Xia Ling.

“Haha, that’s funny.”

The scene was awkward and silent for a while.

“Did you plant this big tree?”

Xia Ling found a topic to break the awkward situation.

"How is that possible? This tree is old enough for me to live hundreds of lifetimes!"

Cao Yanbing denied it angrily.

"Wow."

"The locust tree is the sacred tree of my family. We must protect it from generation to generation! That's what my parents said."

"Your parents? Are they also soul-suppressing generals? Then where are they now?"

"He disappeared ten years ago. Who knows whether he is alive or dead?"

"That night he said he was going to suppress a powerful evil spirit, and he never came back, leaving me and my newborn brother alone."

"sorry"

"Hey, it's all in the past. It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it."

Cao Yanbing waved his hand, smiled indifferently, and walked to a motorcycle.
