Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 506: Demonic Confrontation

Countless black snakes poured out from the door, and the strong impact force knocked the door panels away.

Seeing two wooden boards flying towards her head, Ji Anni subconsciously squatted on the ground with her head in her hands. The wooden boards brushed against her arms, causing a burning pain, followed by two "crackling" sounds. When she looked back, she saw that the wooden boards had broken into pieces, splattering all over the yard.

However, those fragments soon disappeared. No, they did not disappear, but were covered with black snakes.

"This, this..." Ji Annie trembled all over and turned her head to look around, only to find that all she could see were green eyes.

There was a cold feeling under my feet, as if something was crawling up along my ankles.

With a scream of "Ah", I realized that the ground was covered with black snakes, which had already covered my feet.

Ji Anni was stiff, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and a layer of fine pimples appeared on her skin. The ground was full of black snakes, and her feet were tightly entangled. Not only could she not run, she couldn't even lift them up.

In extreme fear, Ji Anni looked up at the Ghost King.

The ghost king's eyes revealed a cold alert, but he was much calmer than Ji Anni. He did not look back, but stared into the depths of the wide-open, dark, bottomless ancestral hall, as if he could see Yuan Rong's figure from inside.

Ji Anni couldn't see anything, or rather, even if she could see anything, her blank brain couldn't calmly identify it.

She suddenly grabbed the Ghost King's hand, and her extreme fear made her subconsciously want to seek some support.

Perhaps because he felt the coldness and trembling coming from her fingertips, the Ghost King looked back at her and said expressionlessly, "Don't be afraid. Most of the snakes on the ground are illusions. The ones that bite people are real."

Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from the right rear and bit the Ghost King's neck.

Ji Anni screamed "Ah" and felt her eyes blurred for a moment. The next moment, the black snake with its bloody mouth was easily grasped by the Ghost King.

The snake struggled continuously, making a hissing sound, its green eyes and red tongue looking strange in the dark night. In its dying struggle, it used its slender body to tightly wrap around the ghost king's hand, tightening its grip as if trying to break the ghost king's arm.

But there was a "click" sound, and the Ghost King squeezed the snake head hard, just like killing an ant, and the snake head turned into a bloody mess in an instant.

Several drops of blood splashed onto Ji Anni, bringing her back to reality from the chaos.

Thinking carefully, it is indeed impossible for so many black snakes to appear at once. If all the black snakes were stuffed back into the Demon Temple, the temple would have been overcrowded. The only explanation is that most of the black snakes seen now are illusions, but there are a few real black snakes mixed in, waiting for an opportunity to attack - the one that the Ghost King crushed with one hand just now is one of them.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni looked around again. All around her were green eyes and slightly twisting black bodies. Unless the black snake took the initiative to pounce on her, it would be impossible to tell which ones were real and which ones were fake.

Ji Anni became more and more frightened and moved closer to the Ghost King. When she came to her senses, she found that her entire body was almost pressed against the Ghost King's arm.

The ghost king found it a little funny and said coldly: "If you are afraid, go back. It's not too late now."

"I, I'm not afraid..." His voice was shaking, but he still wanted to act strong.

By the way, eagles eat snakes. Thinking of this, Ji Anni hurriedly called out to Cang Gui in her heart.

Just as he called out, he heard an eagle cry from above. He looked up subconsciously and saw the familiar voice of Canggui piercing through the heavy black clouds above his head, and he opened his wings and landed not far behind him. He bravely opened his claws and grabbed a black snake as soon as he landed. The snake was broken into several bloody short pieces under his claws and fell to the ground.

Ji Anni was so scared that she bared her teeth and dared not look any further.

The sound of the Cang Gui fighting with the black snake came from behind. It was obvious that the Cang Gui's eyes could identify the real black snake. With the protection of the Cang Gui, Ji Anni's wildly beating heart finally calmed down. Only then did she finally realize that she was almost sticking to the Ghost King's arm, and she bounced away a little embarrassedly.

Suddenly, a dark shadow deep in the ancestral hall moved slightly.

Ji Anni suddenly felt a terrible evil spirit shooting into her temple like a bullet.

At the same time, the crying of Prince Ming could be heard from deep inside the ancestral hall: "Mother, mother... please save me... mother..."

"Ming'er." Although he knew that this was the sorcery of Yuan Rong, he was still confused and subconsciously took half a step forward.

"Don't go over there." The Ghost King grabbed Ji Anni's wrist again and dragged her behind him.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out slowly from the depths of the darkness.

"Mother...Mother, please save me, I am in so much pain, so uncomfortable...Mother..."

The figure became clearer and clearer, and it came to the door step by step. Only then did Ji Anni finally see clearly that it was not a person at all, but a cylindrical object surrounded and entangled by black snakes. The black snakes kept twisting and crawling along the cylinder that was about the same height as Prince Ming.

The fluorescent green eyes in the black stared fiercely at the Ghost King and Ji Anni.

Prince Ming's voice came from deep within the cylinder.

"Ming...Ming'er..." Ji Anni was almost unable to utter a word.

It turned out that Prince Ming was covered in black snakes, with almost no skin visible. Only the fingertips that stretched forward could be seen as human fingers.

"Mother, mother..." Prince Ming cried and slowly walked forward, "Mother, save me... I am in so much pain..."

"Ghost King, please, save him...save him..." Ji Anni held the Ghost King's hand with a dull expression and shook it desperately. I don't know what happened, two lines of coldness came on my cheeks, and I actually cried.

The ghost king stared at Prince Ming who was entangled by black snakes and said calmly, "He is possessed by a demon. The snakes are him and he is the snakes. Those snakes are part of his body and cannot be removed."

"What..." Ji Anni couldn't accept this fact.

"I'll prove it to you."

He was neither panicked nor afraid. As the king of all monsters formed by the resentful spirits of the world, he was no stranger to monsters in this form.

In order to prove to Ji Anni what he had just said, he walked forward fearlessly and came in front of Prince Ming.

Prince Ming did not expect the other party to come over so easily, and he was slightly stunned.

At this moment, the Ghost King stretched out his right hand and grabbed his head.

Prince Ming let out a scream, and the black snakes surrounding his body pounced on the Ghost King at the same time. But before they could bite him, the Ghost King's body suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, the Ghost King had returned to Ji Anni, holding a dozen dead snakes with only half of their bodies in his hands. These snakes were just torn off from Prince Ming's face. Prince Ming, who was not far away, finally revealed half of his face, and his bloodshot eyes stared blankly at Ji Anni from a distance of more than ten steps. The torn wounds could still be seen on his face. The black snake had indeed merged with Prince Ming and grew out of his body.

Ji Anni's heart suddenly tightened and she felt so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Soon, the black snakes from other places crawled over and covered half of Prince Ming's face again, turning Prince Ming back into the cylinder surrounded by black snakes just now.

"Mother, mother...save me, save me..." Prince Ming's miserable cry sounded again, echoing in the dark night sky.

Ji Anni covered her ears, tears gushing out, and she screamed madly into the depths of the Demon Temple: "Yuan Rong! You are so despicable... Come out! Give Ming'er back to me!"

Suddenly, a "Hahaha" scream came from Prince Ming's body - in fact, Yuan Rong was inside Prince Ming's body.

The painful cry of Prince Ming just now was nothing but a magic trick cast by Yuan Rong to confuse Ji Anni.

"Princess Zhao Cong, if you want to save your child, then kill the Ghost King. As long as you kill him, I will return your child to you."

The sharp sound was blown away by the night wind and became extremely distorted.

Ji Anni didn't believe his lies and shouted angrily: "Yuan Rong, how can you be a hero hiding in a child's body! Don't you want to kill the Ghost King? Then come out and fight him openly to see if you can kill him!"

"Hmph. Why would I need to kill him myself..."

Yuan Rong burst into laughter. Suddenly, Prince Ming's body retreated backwards and shrank back into the darkness deep in the ancestral hall.

Before Ji Anni could figure out what was going on, she suddenly felt another terrifying evil aura coming from the bushes not far away.

Following the evil spirit, I turned my head and saw two red lights appearing deep in the bushes.

The two red lights were different from the eyes of the small black snakes on the ground. The light from the eyes of the small black snakes was very small, like green gems. However, the red light in the bushes was very large, like two lanterns - it was definitely a very big monster!

Thinking of this, Ji Anni subconsciously took a half step back.

At this moment, a dark shadow behind the bushes suddenly pounced over.

It was a huge black snake, with a waist as thick as a bucket and a head about the same size as a human's.

It opened its bloody mouth and pounced straight at the Ghost King, its speed almost as fast as lightning.

A silver-white sword suddenly appeared in the Ghost King's hand, and he chopped at the black snake's head without mercy.

The giant snake's skin was very thick, and the sword couldn't hurt her skin at all.

The black snake suddenly let out a scream. The terrifying thing was that the scream was actually the voice of a human woman.

Ji Anni was stunned for a moment, because that cry was extremely familiar.

Suddenly, the black snake pounced on the ghost king again. Just as the ghost king swung his sword to chop at the black snake, Ji Anni shouted hoarsely: "Wait a minute!"

Not only did he shout, but he also suddenly rushed over and hugged the Ghost King's hand.

The black snake's sharp teeth brushed past the Ghost King's shoulder, and with a roaring sound, the black snake fell heavily to the ground not far away.

"What are you doing?" The Ghost King turned around and scolded Ji Anni angrily. If Ji Anni hadn't suddenly made trouble, he would have pierced the black snake's throat with a sword.

At this moment, the black snake's head suddenly turned into a human face, and it cried miserably: "Xiao Zhao... Xiao Zhao, it's me..."

When Ji Anni looked up, her scalp suddenly went numb because the human face growing on the snake's head was someone she knew.

"Yizhen..." Fear and surprise made her voice tremble. Looking at her unrecognizable friend, she wanted to cry but couldn't. "You...how did you become like this..."
