Mount Tai, a sacred land where peace reigns supreme.
Now, however, it was filled with danger.
Everywhere seemed gloomy and terrifying.
Was this still one of the Five Great Mountains? Truly, the myths did not deceive. Places connected to hell were always filled with all sorts of perils.
At this moment, the only ones who remained calm and composed were Lin Fan, Old Zhang, and Little Bao.
Even the demonic rooster wore a grave expression.
Although it was a demonic hero, given the current situation, its demonic compatriots had misunderstood it, branding it a traitor. This was a terrifying predicament and, more importantly, a deeply hurtful one.
"Amitabha, serenity, serenity."
Master Yongxin chanted, constantly preparing for battle. His Diamond Indestructible Body flickered in and out of existence, wary of the sudden appearance of terrifying demons.
Of course, being near Lin Fan, they felt safe.
That feeling went without saying.
As they ventured deeper, a sense of crisis welled up in their hearts.
"We can't go any further, something will happen," Master Yongxin said in a deep voice. He was more sensitive to danger, and their current location was precarious. If they continued forward, it wouldn't be long before they reached the collapsed area.
He then looked at the technicians.
"You should be able to detect data here, right?"
The four technicians busied themselves, looking at the data displayed. After a moment of contemplation, they said, "There's something, but it's not significant, a bit blurry. If we can reach the collapsed area and set up the equipment, we can detect the situation there."
"It's too dangerous," Master Yongxin shook his head.
He found the four technicians a bit reckless. Reaching this point without encountering danger was already incredibly fortunate. To think of going deeper was simply wishful thinking.
The four technicians were disappointed upon hearing this.
Their gazes shifted to Lin Fan, their meaning clear: weren't they accompanied by a powerful figure? They shouldn't encounter any danger, right? Why not give it a try?
Master Yongxin naturally noticed their glances.
But his meaning was equally clear: You're asking for trouble. While your reasoning is sound, wouldn't it be better to avoid danger altogether?
Suddenly, a whooshing sound pierced the air.
"Careful!"
Master Yongxin warned.
Then they saw a jet-black halberd tear through the air, slamming heavily into the earth. The halberd carried a murderous aura, blocking their path forward.
"This halberd?"
"A demon?"
"A person?"
Everyone was stunned, unable to comprehend the situation. If a demon had appeared, they could understand, but now a weapon simply materialized before them. The image of a demon wielding the weapon instantly filled their minds.
Impossible.
They had never seen a demon use a weapon.
Moreover, judging by the craftsmanship of the weapon, it didn't seem like something a demon could forge; it looked more like human handiwork.
Immediately afterward, a figure descended from the sky. With a boom, the ground cracked. The figure casually pulled out the halberd, brandishing it, and a sharp shockwave swept outwards.
"This is?"
They stared dumbfounded at the scene unfolding before them. They had never imagined they would encounter such a demon.
"It should be a demonic shark, right?"
"No, a humanoid demonic shark."
They whispered amongst themselves.
The demonic shark had a human body and a shark's head. The two rows of sharp teeth in its mouth were incredibly menacing, gleaming with a cold light, giving off a terrifying aura.
With a roar, the sonic waves caused the surrounding trees to rustle, their leaves fluttering down.
"This compatriot is a bit terrifying, best not to provoke it," the demonic rooster muttered.
Its current situation was difficult. The misunderstanding among its demonic compatriots was simply too great.
The appearance of the demonic shark was truly unexpected. It had its own comfortable den, lying around every day in blissful ignorance. Then the demonic groundhog appeared, telling it that a demonic traitor had brought humans, threatening to slaughter all demons.
It even claimed it wanted to eat shark fin, specifically targeting the demonic shark. "I know you're strong, but there are quite a few humans. You better run."
The demonic shark, roused from its pleasant dreams by these words, was instantly enraged.
Its fury soared to the heavens.
Insolent!
Since arriving on land from the sea, transforming into a land-and-sea demon, it had become a dominant force. Countless demons treated it with respect, addressing it as "Demonic Big Brother."
"Are you lowly humans the ones who want to eat my fins?" the demonic shark roared.
Its voice was thunderous and deafening.
The surrounding bodyguards felt their hearts tremble. Truth be told, the creature's voice was so loud that their hands holding their guns were shaking. They were genuinely afraid, but if a conflict truly erupted, they still had the courage to fire.
Master Yongxin exclaimed, "You can speak human language?"
"Is speaking human language something to be proud of?" the demonic shark sneered. It glared at Master Yongxin with anger, as if harboring a deep grudge.
Master Yongxin said, "May I ask, demonic benefactor, how did you learn to speak human language?"
"Hmph, your human language is indeed difficult to learn, but in that environment, do you know the extent of the humiliation I suffered?" The demonic shark angrily turned around. "Look at my back, and you'll understand the humiliation I endured."
"Such狰狞 scars."
"Indeed."
"I somehow feel these scars add a bit of domineering aura."
The special department agents whispered amongst themselves.
The demonic shark wanted to hear what these humans would say, but upon hearing this, it clenched its fists in fury, its expression contorted as it roared:
"Silence!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know the pain in my heart?"
"These scars are all thanks to you humans."
"Do you know? I once roamed the vast ocean, free and carefree, filled with joy. But because of your existence, I was captured and confined to that tiny experimental tank, subjected to endless torment."
"Finally... I was rescued. Later, I will rip your heads off and swallow them whole."
As it spoke, the demonic shark burst into tears, tears streaming down its face. Then, it brandished its halberd, pointing it at these lowly humans.
"He's so handsome," Lin Fan said.
"Indeed," Old Zhang added.
Little Bao said, "But he's not as handsome as you. You're the most handsome in my eyes."
Lin Fan stroked Little Bao's head, smiling, "That's what I think too."
At this moment, Master Yongxin pondered for a moment. He didn't agree with their sentiments. The demon before them was indeed strong, but it hadn't exceeded his expectations.
"Everyone, hold back. Leave this battle to me. I need a fight to comprehend a deeper level of Buddhist power." Master Yongxin prepared to have a good fight with the demonic shark.
Such opportunities were rare.
Encountering such a powerful demon was not easy.
