Chapter 369 - Gathering of Demon Gods (2/2)

Ren Hao had never felt so regretful before. He started to register unfriendly stares and belligerent glances all around him.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had already made it to the top of the rail cart.

The train conductor had slowed down the speed of the train due to the sudden appearance of darkness. Chen Fan looked ahead and behind the train and saw it was surrounded by an impenetrable dark mist that completely blocked out the sun. Amidst the dark mist was countless wretched spirits and vile demons swimming around each other. Their eyes were large red unblinking holes that s.h.i.+ned a very eerie light from within. A cold gust came up, sweeping across the sky with sharp, agonizing shrieks. Chen Fan had seen a similar procession of spirits and demons in the art of the Young Lord of the Ghost Witch Sect, but this was on another level of deadliness.

These apparitions were ancient and held deep grudges toward the living. Many of them had wondered the line between living and dead for a hundred or so years.

Some of them were still dressed in the old fas.h.i.+on way with the Edo period styles.

“What’s going on?” Red Sparrow pulled herself over the ledge and came abreast with Chen Fan. She asked in a solemn voice.

“The dark mist had stretched as far as a few thousand kilometers from here. Suns.h.i.+ne is just on the other side. It seemed to be the work of a Dharma Artifact. These Ghosts wouldn’t be able to show up without the protection of an Artifact.” Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and said lightly.

He had since projected his Divine Will as far as five kilometers away from him and got a handle on what was going on. He was not at all affected by the ghastly apparitions and jarring screaming around him.

“This is the Dark Sky Curtain from the Ise Grand Shrine. Legend has it that a grand Kannus.h.i.+ from Ise Grand Shrine had refined this vile artifact using the western art of alchemy. It could not only unleash ghosts into the world but also could be used as a vehicle for the Demon G.o.d.” Red Sparrow explained.

As soon as she finished talking, a Demon G.o.d with three heads and six arms appeared in the darkness. Its hulking frame filled up the s.p.a.ce between the ground and the sky. Each one of his six arms wielded a different kind of Dharma Artifact, making his appearance resemble that of a Dharmapala, the protector of the buddha.

“That’s the Six-Armed Demon G.o.d from Shrine of h.e.l.l King”

Red Sparrow’s face changed color a bit and then said.

“Chen Beixuan, I have heard so much about you.” The soul energy roiled about the Six-Armed Demon G.o.d like the waves on the ocean. He fixed his gaze on Chen Beixuan, and didn’t spare Red Sparrow any attention.

He was a Demon G.o.d and the only person who was worthy of his attention was Chen Fan. Chen Fan had killed Lord Susano, and Takemiya Hiro, so the Demon G.o.d treated him as equal, the same could not be said about Red Sparrow.

Suddenly, another shadowy figure emerged out of the dark mist. His body was wrapped in a tangle of vines. Its skin was darker than its surroundings and even the mist under its feet turned into a poll of black ichor. His appearance was similar to a h.e.l.lish ghoul.

“Lord Yamamizuki from the Yamamizuki Shrine.”

Red Sparrow announced. Her face turned sour.

“Chen Beixuan, are you scared?” Lord Yamamizuki asked in a high pitch screech.

“Yamamizuki, Chen Beixuan is the strongest man of East Asia, a powerful Immortal State warrior. He is not afraid of your meager power.” Another voice came up from behind Lord Yamamizuki

Chen Fan saw a man-like creature with the head of a bird and a pair of ugly wings that appeared in the sky. It looked very much like the mythical creature of Karasutengu: The crow dog.

“Lord Karasutengu from the Karasutengu Shrine.”

Red Sparrow’s face paled.

She had never thought that all three Demon G.o.ds would show up once: Six-Armed Demon G.o.d, Lord Yamamizuki, and Lord Karasutengu. She was confident that Chen Fan could handle each one of them individually, and he might be able to handle two if she helped him out, but three at the same time is stretching it too thinly.

The situation quickly escalated, and Red Sparrow quickly gave up the hope of saving the poor souls still trapped on the train.

“Clack-Clank, Clack-Clank.”

A wave of wet footsteps came up. A tall and thin figure appeared from the dark corner at the end of the line of train carts. Red Sparrow was taken aback by the appearance of a mortal during this tense moment. When the man was close enough for Red Sparrow to see his face, she was shocked: “Lord Kurome, why are you here?”

Lord Kurome was just an S-Level Overlord, and this battle was way out of his league. Even Red Sparrow could defeat him, much less Chen Fan. Suddenly, an ominous feeling seized her mind.

“You are not a mortal, you are the Demon G.o.d Lord Kurome.”

Chen Fan cracked a light smile.

Red Sparrow watched as Lord Kurome’s eyes started burning with a red glow. He stood quietly as the flying ghosts and spirits bowed to him fearfully.

“Six-Armed Demon G.o.d, Lord Karasutengu, Lord Yamamizuki, and Lord Kurome.”

Of the six Demon G.o.ds in j.a.pan, one had already been killed by Chen Fan and the other four stood right in front of him. The Demon G.o.d of The Ise Grand Shrine was still missing in action but had contributed to the cause by offering his Artifact: Dark Sky Curtain.

They were all after Chen Fan.

“Chen Beixuan, did we surprise you?”

Lord Kurome laughed out loud. There was another voice behind that laughter that belonged to someone, or something much more ancient.

The four demon G.o.ds surrounded Chen Fan and started cycling around him. They were all half-step away from Immortal State and were indestructible within the dark mist. Even Takemiya Hiro would be shredded into pieces if he had to face all four of them at once.

Life drained away from Red Sparrow’s face. She grabbed hold of Chen Fan’s arm like a drowning woman would to the last piece of floating plank. She really thought she was going to die here.

Chen Fan clasped his hands behind his back and stood haughtily.

“Very good. You saved me many trips. I will kill all of you today to charge my Dharma Treasure!”
