Jiang Renchang looked at the demonic figure not far away, his whole body and mind in a state of extreme shock.
His thoughts were instantly pulled back to thirteen hundred years ago.
Few people in the world know that even at the peak of the ancient spiritual world, humans were not without opponents.
Those monsters and evil creatures derived from many different powers have brought endless disasters to the practice world.
For a long time, the human camp was on the defensive against those evil spirits.
Jiang Renchang has heard about many tragedies since he was a child, and he was exposed to many more during his later spiritual journey.
He has destroyed many weird monsters and even unknown evil spirits.
But Jiang Renchang knew better than anyone that those were nothing.
Because the real evil king is simply not something he can deal with.
Even those high-ranking Holy Sects may not be able to deal with them.
Just like there are powerful saints among humans who understand the law.
There is also no shortage of kings of this realm among the evil monsters.
Those evil kings and evil masters are often more difficult to deal with than saints of the same realm because they are related to supernatural powers and involve many rare laws.
In the past, many saints died at the hands of those evil kings.
There are even some evil kings who especially like to hunt human saints.
In comparison, the human race has a greater disadvantage in this aspect.
Because most of the evil spirits are immortal, difficult to eliminate, and have many followers.
An evil king can even spawn followers as large as a city.
There are so many evil things, even if they are only equivalent to level 3 or 4, they will be killed with mercy.
And even if a saint established a sect and trained a large number of disciples, it was often difficult for him to gain the upper hand against the evil king.
Because once a human dies, he will often be transformed into an evil spirit by the evil king on the spot.
This also means that when the two sides are fighting, the number of practitioners on the human side will often decrease, while on the side of the evil king, the number of evil spirits gathered will even increase.
On a large-scale battlefield, humans can only rely on magic weapons, talismans, formations and other external equipment to barely maintain an undefeated situation.
As the core of the battlefield, when a saint faces an evil queen, it often takes two or three saints to kill an evil king.
And the most important thing is that evil kings often leave a lot of pollution behind after their death. Once these pollutions are contaminated by the saints who fight with them, if they do not receive corresponding treatment, they are likely to die later, or even mutate into The new evil king.
Therefore, the human race has never completely gained the upper hand when facing evil spirits.
But fortunately, due to their nature, evil kings often do not have much reason. They are more chaotic and violent. Their actions are easier to grasp and it is easier to design targeted tactics.
There are very few evil kings who have reason.
In addition, there are also many conflicts between the evil kings.
Sometimes, there are many evil kings who fight to the death in order to devour the laws that suit them.
This is humanity's respite.
It was precisely by taking this opportunity that the ancient practice world that prospered later came into being.
However, even in the ancient world of cultivation, news often spread that a certain holy sect was swallowed up by an evil king.
Among the many evil kings who wreaked havoc in various places at that time, they were known as the Ten Evil Kings throughout the world.
The Ten Evils are the ten most ferocious evil creatures among the evil kings.
For example, Qiong Bing, the Lord of Nightmares among the Ten Evils, can transform himself into thousands of demonic shadows and throw himself into the hearts of countless practitioners. If practitioners are not aware of it for a moment, they will often be seduced by it and become its followers. .
There used to be a Qianmu Sect in the southwest. There were four saints in the sect, which could be called the overlord of the place. However, when a Ransen ceremony was held, he was accidentally discovered by a saint who was good at reading minds. The Master of Qianmu Sect and All the above-mentioned high-level officials have degenerated and become the puppets of poor people.
After the incident was exposed, a war spread across the entire state. More than ten saints were killed on the battlefield, and more than a thousand mages were killed. As for the ordinary people at the bottom, there was no telling how many died.
Another example is the Uncovered Book among the Ten Evils. Twelve extremely powerful and terrifying Taoist teachings were once spread, triggering countless practitioners to fight for them. Later, the methods in them were exposed, causing thousands of practitioners to Enlightenment and practice.
All the people who had achieved it were turned into food without skins, which almost destroyed the practice area. After that, they relied on the five saints to work together to seal the method and eradicate its spread, and finally survived this catastrophe.
It can be said that each of the ten villains is terrifying to the extreme.
But fortunately, the human cultivators are not vegetarians either.
After years of fighting and killing, in the end, five of the ten villains were completely destroyed, three were brutally sealed, and the remaining two never showed up again after being injured. Even according to the popular speculation at the time, the two who were severely damaged were probably not dead. It was hard to recover.
In addition, the concentration of spiritual energy in the outside world continues to decrease, the end of the law is approaching, and the evil spirits are gradually losing news. Jiang Renchang originally thought that no matter whether it is the ten evil spirits or other evil spirits, they will not be able to survive the passage of time and will definitely survive in the age of the end of the law. towards death.
But he never expected that here today, he would meet Sanqi, one of the most unlucky people!
Sanchi is also known as the Lord of Nightmares. It is said that any human being who hears about Sanchi, the evil king, will have nightmares related to him that night.
The more information you learn, the deeper the nightmare becomes, and the closer your connection to Sanchi becomes.
Often within a few days, the person's life essence will be swallowed up by Sanchi in a dream.
It can be said that it is terrifying and weird to the extreme.
However, Jiang Renchang originally didn't care much about this.
Because in his time, Sanchi had already been sealed by the Almighty.
What is left is only some information. No matter how many people read it, I have never heard of anyone dying because of a dream.
But now that Jiang Renchang saw the image of Sanqi in his dream with his own eyes, he was extremely shocked.
No matter how much imagination he used, he would never have guessed that this guy was still alive after such a long time!
At this moment, the demonic figure that was originally in front of Jiang Renchang and others had completely condensed its own form.
It has a kindly human face.
Below the human face is a body as strong as a rock.
Further down, there is no lower body, but countless tentacles swinging in all directions.
This image is quite different from the one in the record.
In the original description, Sanchi is a three-faced monster with bat wings and lingering flames underneath.
But now, not only does it only have a face, it doesn't even have bat wings on its back. The nightmare fire under its body has also turned into cold tentacles. It looks like a mistake.
However, Jiang Renchang knew that this was the result of the seal. Records in the classics mentioned that Sanqi was dismembered and sealed in various places.
His three faces, a pair of bat wings, and the flames under his body were separated and sealed in five different places.
These five things actually symbolize the five laws it masters.
Due to the deep fusion and entanglement of these laws and supernatural powers, it was difficult to eliminate them in a short time, so they had to be sealed.
Looking at it now, one of the seals should have been broken.
Thinking of this, Jiang Renchang suddenly realized the truth hidden in it.
The curse seals all over the ground not long ago were definitely not the curse seals condensed by Sanqi.
That curse seal was supposed to be the forbidden rune that sealed it!
As a result, they had a wrong perception due to Sanchi's deliberate distortion in the dream.
Ichili planned to break the curse seal, but ended up breaking the opponent's seal instead.
Jiang Renchang felt regretful for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
He knew clearly that there was no way he could stop Sanchi's recovery.
Even if he hasn't broken the formation here today, as long as he captures enough puppets in this dream, he will definitely be able to break the seal even if he spends his time here slowly.
Sanchi's recovery is inevitable!
It was just unfortunate that he ran into it.
Jiang Renchang felt bitter in his mouth.
But at this time he didn't have time to think too much.
Facing an evil king who was once one of the top ten evil kings, Jiang Renchang would never think that he would be its opponent, even after being dismembered and suppressed for thousands of years.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed Wei Cang, ignored the others around him, and ran away into the distance as fast as lightning.
If it weren't for Su Mo's good relationship with the Civil Security Bureau, he wouldn't even want to save Wei Cang.
After all, even he himself might not be able to escape from such a powerful crisis.
As soon as the action started here, Sanchi's corpse also started to move.
He opened his mouth, and it quickly expanded, turning into a bloody mouth, and swallowed it in front of everyone on the field.
In an instant, more than a dozen people screamed and fell into his mouth.
Accompanied by a "gudong" swallowing sound.
More than a dozen consciousness bodies were digested by him on the spot.
The tentacles under him looked a little clearer.
"not enough!"
"Far from enough!"
Sanchi grunted.
The seemingly kind face revealed unimaginable evil intentions.
He did not look at the few ordinary people who escaped.
Instead, his eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Renchang and Wei Cang.
At the moment when their eyes met, Jiang Renchang was horrified.
Before he could react, Sanchi jumped up from the ground and pounced on the two of them in the air.
"boom!"
An explosion sounded almost at the same time.
Jiang Renchang's palm fell on Wei Cang, and the two immediately separated from each other, narrowly avoiding Sanqi who landed on the ground.
The ground suddenly cracked in large areas.
He turned around and looked again, his eyes locked on Jiang Renchang who was running away to the left.
Then he jumped up from the pit again and rushed towards the opponent.
When Jiang Renchang saw this, he almost cursed in his heart.
He was about to throw himself into the building on the side like before.
Suddenly, his feet were tightly grasped by concrete hands formed from the ground.
"Oops-!"
Seeing Sanqi jumping down from the air, Jiang Renchang was extremely desperate.
At this moment, a streak of light shot out from a distance and passed through Sanqi's body in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
It was accompanied by a dull shaking sound, like a heavy object falling to the ground.
Sanchi's half-remaining body fell to the ground.
In the distance, Su Mo came up and approached.
Seeing Jiang Renchang, whose breath was fading and his body was weak, he handed over two pills to replenish his spirit.
After taking the elixir to stabilize his condition, Jiang Renchang said with a wry smile:
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for arriving in time. If it had been any later, I might have had to collect the body."
Su Mo thought for a while and said:
"I'm afraid we can't even collect the corpses in this place."
The smile on Jiang Renchang's face became increasingly bitter.
Behind, Xue Lansu was coming here with a large group of people.
Su Mo didn't wait for them and asked directly:
"Is this monster the mastermind behind pulling everyone into the dream?"
Jiang Renchang nodded and immediately introduced the other party's identity in detail.
Finally, he said:
"Sanchi is not that easy to kill. Now that we have determined that the opponent this time is him, we might as well find a way to seal him again."
While speaking, Sanqi, who had half of his body blown off by Su Mo, quickly began to recover towards his original shape.
Seeing it return to its original appearance, Su Mo didn't say anything, raised his fist, aimed at the opponent's entire body, and punched it down, making a huge hole in the entire street on the spot.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, there was nothing inside the cavity, as if Sanchi had been completely killed.
Jiang Renchang couldn't help being slightly stunned when he saw this scene.
But soon, Sanchi's figure began to appear again in the pothole.
Seeing its body reappearing, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't say anything, and went back and forth to kill Sanchi underground.
After killing seven times in a row, the holes in the ground became tens of meters deep.
But Sanchi is still reviving it.
Just like Jiang Renchang said, there seems to be no way to kill him.
Su Mo frowned slightly.
After a while, Xue Lansu and others came over.
Jiang Renchang advised:
"How about this? Let's take those people out first to prevent them from being affected in the dream. As for Sanchi, can we deal with it later?"
Su Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"We still have to solve it completely."
Jiang Renchang couldn't help but cursed after hearing this.
It sounds nice, but you should kill it.
It’s not that I look down on you, even the mighty saints from ancient times could only seal it, which shows how difficult Sanchi is to deal with.
Even if all that is left now is just the sealed corpse, in terms of personality, it far surpasses everyone on the field.
Being unable to deal with it can be said to be completely expected.
The best way to deal with it is to use formations and spiritual objects to suppress it, seal it again, and let time kill it.
It will take a few hundred years at most to survive it.
There was a big drama in Jiang Renchang's heart.
He had no idea that Su Mo was watching the whole scene.
However, Su Mo did not teach him a lesson for this, but was thinking about how to deal with Sanqi.
Just as Jiang Renchang thought, Sanqi was the real evil king during his lifetime, a terrifying evil spirit that could rival the Holy Master.
It has mastered the power of laws and has undergone the fusion of different powers. Even if it is just a corpse, it is not something that practitioners below the Saint Master can deal with.
Even though he is now infinitely close to the Saint Master realm, he is still a little short of it.
This line is an insurmountable chasm.
Is there really no way to deal with this thing?
