Chapter 690 (2/2)

When they were at a distance of eight meters from him, the demons made their move. Some of them threw out their hidden weapons, others shot out their needle-like hair, and others again sprayed venom out of their mouths, launching their various attacks toward Song Shuhang. They decided to use this method to prevent Song Shuhang from ‘activating’ those flames.

❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique—Dragon Dance Style!❯

Song Shuhang calmly waved his treasured saber and slashed out. The slash was like a huge dancing dragon, and one could faintly hear the cry of a dragon emitted by the blade.

All the attacks that the demons of the Netherworld launched against Song Shuhang were swept away.

Those ten or so demons of the Netherworld took advantage of this wave of long-range attacks to pull the distance between Song Shuhang and them closer.

“Now is the time!” the demons of the Netherworld roared, the long swords in their hands thrusting toward Song Shuhang from all directions.

❄️❄️❄️

It’s almost time! Song Shuhang thought to himself. It was time for Senior Brother Gao Sheng to complete his mission and die after getting pierced by thirteen swords.

After his death, it would be time for Senior Brother Gao Sheng’s wife, the ‘White-Clothed Swordsman’ Fan Bai, to get into action.

Song Shuhang was really happy that Senior Brother Gao Sheng was going to die before Fan Bai. It was truly great to end his suffering by dying quickly and swiftly entering the circle of reincarnation. There was no need for him to act like Medicine Master, who had to hold Miss Riverly Purple Mist’s corpse and reveal his true feelings, crying loudly during the scene.

Song Shuhang mentally calculated the safe distance.

Then, he waited for those ten or so demons of different sizes to attack him from different angles with their sharp swords, and activated the hidden mechanism concealed in the sleeve of his daoist robe.

In the next moment, his body emitted a dazzling radiance that covered both him and the ten or so demons.

Afterward, a row of sword hilts popped out from the front of his daoist robe, with several blade tips popping out from the back, making it seem as though tens of swords had pierced through his body.

Song Shuhang lay on the ground and looked for a comfortable position, making it so that the thirteen swords that had ‘pierced through his body’ wouldn’t trouble him while lying down.

“Done,” Song Shuhang muttered to himself, very satisfied. Since he was able to take advantage of the dazzling light to adjust his position, his posture while lying down was much more natural than that of the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

❄️❄️❄️

After fixing his posture, Song Shuhang waited for that transparent barrier to appear and block the sharp swords headed toward him.

However, that transparent barrier that should have appeared by now to protect him… didn’t appear.

Is there something wrong with the mechanism? Song Shuhang was startled. Or perhaps he didn’t have that protective equipment with him in the first place!?

F*ck! I got duped!

Why the h.e.l.l am I the only one without the barrier?!

As expected, it was too naive of me to think that the defensive mechanism was incorporated in the daoist robe!

Nonetheless, what kind of joke is this?! I’ll die if I don’t have that protective barrier to save me!

Whatever, now is not the time to complain!

In less than a second, the swords of those ten or so demons would really stab his body.

What could he do?

He didn’t have time to use the ❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique❯ at this moment, and he wasn’t wearing the daoist robe he got from the western monk, either.

In addition, since he was lying on the ground in a rather comfortable position after he started to ‘feign death’, he didn’t even have room for dodging. He would be able to dodge the incoming attack only if he could teleport away.

It was a desperate situation!

Song Shuhang tried to keep his calm and think of a plan. Perhaps he could try to erupt the liquefied true qi in his body and form a barrier of true qi around his body? However, the enemies were demons of the Third and Fourth Stage, and a hastily formed barrier of true qi wouldn’t be able to block their sharp swords!

Wait, I still have those armor talismans with me!

Nevertheless, the armor talismans were in his size-reducing purse, and he would need some time to take them out and activate them.

After pondering for a moment, he concluded that the best plan for now was to use the ❮Steel Hands Technique❯ and the treasured saber Broken Tyrant to protect the vital parts of his body, taking those ten or so swords head on.

It wasn’t a big deal if he got injured somewhere else. As long as he didn’t die on the spot, the nearby Fairy Lychee and Senior Phoenix Slayer would quickly get a gist of what was happening and protect him.

He hadn’t expected that he would encounter this much danger while shooting the movie!

Earth was really a dangerous place.

❄️❄️❄️

The dazzling light that the daoist robe emitted was able to affect the demons of the Netherworld only for an instant.

As soon as they recovered their sight, they noticed that Song Shuhang was lying on the ground in a strange position. He was covered with blood, and many swords had pierced his body…

Was this one playing dead as well?

The demons of the Netherworld had already gotten used to it.

Eh? Wait a moment… there is no protective barrier around the body of this human cultivator!

The eyes of the demons of the Netherworld lit up.

Although they didn’t know why there was no barrier around the body of this human cultivator, the sharp swords in their hands wouldn’t stand on ceremony. They immediately seized the opportunity and thrust their swords toward Song Shuhang without any hesitation.

As the blades were getting closer and closer to Song Shuhang, the latter activated the innate skill of his Eye Aperture.

After the activation of the innate skill of his Eye Aperture, he could clearly see the angles from which the sharp swords of the demons were coming.

Therefore, he started to calculate whether each place they were going to hit was a vital one or not.

At the critical moment, he would use the ❮Steel Hands Technique❯ and the treasured saber Broken Tyrant to protect his vital parts.

The words ‘golden-bell cover’ and ‘iron s.h.i.+rt cloth’ ¹ resurfaced in Song Shuhang’s mind at this time.

❄️❄️❄️

“Clang, clang, clang~”

The demons thrust their swords forward!

But Song Shuhang, who had clenched his teeth and was preparing himself for pain, didn’t feel anything.

At this time, a s.h.i.+ning armor had appeared around his body.

It was the power of the armor talisman!

“Lady Onion, thank you!” Song Shuhang immediately understood what had happened.

“Hmph! If you really want to thank me, you should set me free.” Lady Onion’s lovely snort echoed from within his clothes. At the critical moment, Lady Onion activated the armor talisman in the size-reducing purse in Song Shuhang’s stead.

The energy of the armor talisman covered Song Shuhang’s body and blocked the sharp swords of the demons.

Unfortunately, this armor talisman was of the Fourth Stage rank, and it wouldn’t last long given the situation.

Song Shuhang didn’t hesitate and opened his mouth, using the ❮Roaring Lion’s Technique❯ he had just finished preparing.

The sound of the ❮Roaring Lion’s Technique❯ reverberated throughout the surrounding area like a raging thunder. The innate skill of Song Shuhang’s Mouth Aperture, the ‘Illusory Sound’, was also included in the technique. This caused the demons that were approaching to attack him to be stunned for three milliseconds.

Three milliseconds were enough for the current Song Shuhang to turn the tide.

Song Shuhang sprang to his feet, revolving the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ at full strength.

“Flaming Saber Technique!” Song Shuhang spun his wrist and activated the Flaming Saber Technique, performing a pirouette afterward.

The Flaming Saber Technique spun together with his body, forming a ring of fire all around him. In the next moment, the flaming saber qi shrouded all the demons surrounding him.

Although thirteen swords had pierced through his body, Senior Brother Gao Sheng stood in place while holding his saber, looking truly tyrannical.

In a distant place, Director Jacob furrowed his brows, and said, “Tell Mister Song to stop showing off and drop dead quickly! Tell him not to return to life again!”
