Chapter 220 The Soul-Devouring Beast is Defeated! Appraisal of the Chinese Gods!
The moment Su Fan saw the Gonggong Halberd, a smile appeared on his face.
Yuan Qingsheng is here!
With Yuan Qingsheng, a ninth-tier Divine Master who has a contract with the SR-level water god Gonggong, the Soul-Devouring Beast no longer poses much of a threat to Northern Frontier City.
Su Fan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Su Fan, hang in there!"
With the sound, Yuan Qingsheng stepped out of the spatial passage and landed steadily beside Su Fan.
Yuan Qingsheng took out a pill from his spatial ring and put it into Su Fan's mouth.
This elixir is the Qi-restoring and regeneration elixir from the pile of elixirs left behind by Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao), which can quickly restore injuries.
Seeing that Su Fan's injuries were slowly healing, Yuan Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Fan is the most precious thing in all of China, a national treasure. We can't afford to harm him in the slightest!
At the same time, Yuan Qingsheng was also relieved that Su Wan'er had contacted him and he had rushed over in time, otherwise he would have been really doomed.
With a thought, the Gonggong Halberd, which was stuck in the ground, returned to Yuan Qingsheng's hand. Holding the Gonggong Halberd, Yuan Qingsheng exuded a powerful aura.
The Soul-Devouring Beast's eyes flashed with wariness when it saw Yuan Qingsheng.
"A ninth-tier Divine Master?"
Yuan Qingsheng stared coldly at the Soul-Devouring Beast and said calmly:
"Are you ready to die?"
Upon hearing this, the Soul-Devouring Beast's eyes showed even greater fear.
However, the Soul-Devouring Beast stubbornly replied:
"Another one sent to their death?"
Yuan Qingsheng snorted coldly, pointing the Gonggong Halberd at the Soul-Devouring Beast.
The Soul-Devouring Beast roared and launched an attack on Yuan Qingsheng.
The space around the Soul-Devouring Beast rippled, and then its figure appeared out of thin air in front of Yuan Qingsheng.
Yuan Qingsheng seemed to have anticipated this. He swung the Gonggong Halberd, and blue water waves erupted from its body, colliding with the Soul-Devouring Beast's attack and splashing up huge sprays of water.
The violent collision caused the surrounding air to vibrate and dust to fly.
The Soul-Devouring Beast is incredibly powerful; each of its attacks distorts space.
But Yuan Qingsheng was no less formidable. With the swing of the Gonggong Halberd, surging waves of water deflected the attacks of the Soul-Devouring Beast one by one.
Su Fan recovered from his injuries while closely monitoring the battle.
Suddenly, the Soul-Devouring Beast once again used its spatial power, teleporting behind Yuan Qingsheng and slamming out a palm strike.
Yuan Qingsheng reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and simultaneously thrusting the Gonggong Halberd at the Soul-Devouring Beast with his other hand.
The Soul-Devouring Beast roared in pain, and the extraterrestrial creatures around it began to stir again under its forced command, attempting to attack the Northern Frontier City once more.
Seeing this, Yuan Qingsheng became anxious and wanted to drive back the extraterrestrial creature tide, but how could this Soul-Devouring Beast allow Yuan Qingsheng to succeed?
It constantly attacked and ambushed Yuan Qingsheng, leaving him overwhelmed.
"Hahaha! Just watch as this Northern Frontier City turns to ashes!"
The Soul-Devouring Beast burst into unrestrained laughter.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingsheng remained silent, but instead intensified his attacks, forcing the Soul-Devouring Beast into a state of constant retreat.
However, this Soul-Devouring Beast possesses spatial power, making it extremely difficult to deal with. For the time being, Yuan Qingsheng was unable to defeat it.
Seeing that these extraterrestrial creatures had begun to attack Northern Frontier City again, Su Fan gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and circulated the remaining divine power in his body to help Yuan Qingsheng resist the extraterrestrial creatures.
Su Fan took a deep breath, and behind him, a huge alchemy furnace appeared.
This is the Bagua Furnace of Laozi, the SSR-level Chinese deity, which Su Fan contracted.
This was also the first time Su Fan had used Laozi's abilities.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but rather that he had some preconceived notions, thinking that Laozi was only good at alchemy and had no offensive capabilities.
This time, having run out of options, Su Fan could only try out the power of the Supreme Lord Laozi.
Hopefully, we can stop this extraterrestrial tide and prevent Yuan Qingsheng from being distracted.
Su Fan formed hand seals and channeled divine power into the furnace. The Eight Trigrams Furnace instantly shone brightly, and the lid flew up automatically.
Su Fan muttered incantations, and the surrounding spiritual energy was frantically absorbed into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
At the same time, streams of Samadhi True Fire spewed out from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, refining the spiritual energy and quickly condensing it into pills that emitted a strange light.
"Supernatural Power: Explosive Pill!!!"
Su Fan threw out these pills, which shot towards the restless extraterrestrial creatures like meteors.
The pill exploded, creating a powerful impact that sent many extraterrestrial creatures flying.
Su Fan watched as the Eight Trigrams Furnace continuously released explosive pills, which temporarily blocked the attack of the extraterrestrial creatures.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Qingsheng felt relieved and focused his energy on dealing with the Soul-Devouring Beast.
Just as Yuan Qingsheng and Su Fan were dealing with their respective situations, the Soul-Devouring Beast suddenly let out a sharp, long cry.
Immediately afterwards, several more ferocious beasts from beyond the realm emerged from the spatial rift behind it.
They all possessed eighth-tier strength.
Seeing this, Su Fan cursed under his breath, his face turning completely dark.
This extraterrestrial creature truly intends to completely conquer Northern Frontier City this time!
Yuan Qingsheng's heart sank.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Soul-Devouring Beast increased the distance between itself and the Soul-Devouring Beast, and began to laugh loudly.
"Hehehe... Looks like you're all doomed this time! Hehehe!"
Yuan Qingsheng remained silent, but his strength surged, and he suddenly appeared in front of the Soul-Devouring Beast. Before the beast could react, he thrust the Gonggong Halberd at it.
Meanwhile, an eighth-tier extraterrestrial beast located next to the Soul-Devouring Beast slapped the side of the Gonggong Halberd, deflecting its attack trajectory, and the Soul-Devouring Beast took the opportunity to escape.
The situation became even more dire after these eighth-tier extraterrestrial beasts joined the battlefield.
With Yuan Qingsheng preoccupied with guarding against the newly emerged extraterrestrial beasts, his attacks on the Soul-Devouring Beast became somewhat ineffective.
Su Fan was extremely anxious as he watched the increasing number of extraterrestrial creatures.
He gritted his teeth and increased the divine power injected into the Eight Trigrams Furnace again, causing the explosive pills to fall like raindrops.
However, there were simply too many extraterrestrial creatures, and quite a few managed to break through the defenses and rush towards the Northern Frontier City.
At this critical moment, a huge, burning sun suddenly appeared in the sky.
A figure engulfed in the true fire of the sun slowly descended; it was Ma Tao, another ninth-tier divine master from China who had formed a contract with the fire god Zhurong.
"How could I miss out on this kind of fight?"
Hearing the voice, Yuan Qingsheng looked over and saw that it was Ma Tao. His face lit up with joy.
"Hahaha! Old Ma, we've been waiting for you! You've finally arrived, you bastard!"
"If you had come any later, you wouldn't have seen me anymore, and you would have been a sinner against China!"
Holding the Zhurong Staff, Ma Tao laughed heartily and shouted:
"It's not too late now, I'll lend you a hand!"
After landing, Ma Tao waved the Zhu Rong staff and chanted incantations.
In an instant, a vast expanse of true solar fire swept towards the extraterrestrial creatures like a surging heat wave.
The extraterrestrial creatures touched by the flames screamed in agony and were instantly reduced to ashes.
Next, Ma Tao handed over the remaining extraterrestrial creatures to Su Fan.
He, on the other hand, went to deal with those eight-tier extraterrestrial ferocious beasts.
With Ma Tao's arrival, the battlefield situation instantly reversed.
With the pressure greatly reduced, Yuan Qingsheng could once again focus his energy on dealing with the Soul-Devouring Beast.
He seized the opportunity, and the blue light on the Gonggong Halberd flashed, condensing powerful water energy, which he then fiercely thrust towards the Soul-Devouring Beast.
Seeing this, the Soul-Devouring Beast was about to use its spatial power to dodge, but at that moment, Ma Tao, who was dealing with several eighth-order extraterrestrial ferocious beasts at the same time without any pressure, spewed a beam of true solar fire around the Soul-Devouring Beast.
The true fire of the sun directly distorted space itself.
The Soul-Devouring Beast's spatial power was hindered, causing its movements to slow down slightly.
This hesitation allowed Gonggong's halberd to pierce its shoulder directly. The Soul-Devouring Beast roared, and black blood splattered out.
Su Fan also took the opportunity to manipulate the Eight Trigrams Furnace, releasing more and more powerful explosive pills, which blasted the remaining extraterrestrial beasts into retreat.
The Soul-Devouring Beast clutched its chest, a ruthless glint flashing in its eyes as it saw the unfavorable situation.
Its entire body's essence and blood ignited, and it suddenly used its spatial power again, disappearing from the spot.
Before the Soul-Devouring Beast disappeared, it stared fiercely at Su Fan and the other two.
"I'll be back! Just you wait!"
Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao tried to stop them, but to no avail.
Yuan Qingsheng shook his head regretfully.
"This Soul-Devouring Beast is quite cunning; it actually burned its own life essence to escape."
Ma Tao nodded.
"It got away this time, but it burned its essence blood, so its strength has probably dropped to the eighth level. It won't be able to pose a threat to us for several years."
Yuan Qingsheng nodded, but there was still a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Now, let's wipe out all these extraterrestrial creatures!"
Ma Tao replied, "Two of these eighth-tier extraterrestrial beasts each!"
Yuan Qingsheng: "No problem!"
After saying that, the two launched an attack on the several eighth-tier extraterrestrial beasts and a large number of extraterrestrial creatures that had been left behind by the Soul-Devouring Beast.
Su Fan wasn't idle either, manipulating the Eight Trigrams Furnace to continuously release explosive pills, coordinating with Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao's attacks.
With the combined efforts of the three, the eighth-tier extraterrestrial beasts and a large number of extraterrestrial creatures were gradually eliminated.
On the battlefield, the corpses of extraterrestrial creatures piled up like mountains, and the land was stained red with blood.
With the last extraterrestrial beast falling, this fierce battle finally came to an end.
Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief, his body went limp and he almost collapsed. Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Su Fan, you've worked hard. You did a great job this time."
Yuan Qingsheng praised.
Ma Tao nodded with a smile: "To have held off this Soul-Devouring Beast for a while with only fourth-level strength is amazing."
Su Fan smiled wearily: "Thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise I might have perished here."
The three exchanged a smile, gazing at the devastated state of the Northern Frontier City.
They knew there was still much to be done: rebuild their homes and prepare for the next wave of extraterrestrial life.
This time, fearing another invasion of extraterrestrial life forms, Elder Mo directly arranged for Ma Tao to temporarily guard this northern frontier, serving as the supervisor of the construction of the northern frontier city.
Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng returned to Kyoto.
Before leaving, Su Wan'er looked at Su Fan with some reluctance.
She already had feelings for Su Fan, and they had gone through this terrifying extraterrestrial creature tide together, so they were practically bound by life and death.
Moreover, she personally witnessed Su Fan's heroic figure.
Su Wan'er's love for Su Fan was obvious.
Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao wisely left, leaving Su Fan and Su Wan'er behind.
As Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao walked out, they both gave Su Fan a sly look as they passed by.
Su Fan felt a little embarrassed by their antics and scratched his head.
Su Wan'er blushed and said softly, "Su Fan, thank you for protecting Beijiang City this time... and for protecting me too."
Su Fan smiled and said, "It's what I should do, and it's also thanks to Elder Yuan and Elder Ma for arriving in time."
Su Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "Su Fan, I... will I ever see you again?"
Su Fan was stunned, then nodded.
"Of course, I still need to seal this evil calamity. Once I have collected the divine statues of the Four Sacred Beasts and the Qilin, I will return. If you are still in this Northern Frontier City then, you will naturally be able to meet me."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan'er smiled brightly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Looking into Su Wan'er's expectant eyes, Su Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
Afterwards, Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng embarked on their journey back to Kyoto.
Back in Kyoto, Su Fan began to devote himself entirely to collecting the divine statues of the Four Divine Beasts and the Qilin.
He has already collected the statues of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, and is only missing the statue of the White Tiger.
And most importantly, there is the Qilin statue.
Many people sent him private messages on the Yinlang platform, but unfortunately, after looking at the photos they sent, Su Fan did not see any statues of deities such as the White Tiger or the Qilin.
Just as Su Fan was worrying, Elder Mo sent him a private message.
"Su Fan, we've found the white tiger deity statue."
Below this sentence was a picture, which Su Fan stared at with wide eyes.
It is a statue of the White Tiger deity.
That's right! This time it's correct!
Su Fan's heart pounded wildly. After searching for so long, he had finally found it.
Mo Lao's private message wasn't finished yet, so Su Fan continued reading.
"However, this White Tiger deity statue is in the Tianshan Wang family, which is an old and established family of deities."
"The head of the Wang family made a request to us, asking you to help them identify the Chinese deity before they would give us this White Tiger deity statue."
"I figured this wasn't a big deal for you, so I came to ask for your opinion."
Upon seeing this, Su Fan replied to Elder Mo without the slightest hesitation:
"Alright, I'll go to the Wang family of Tianshan and help them identify the Chinese deities."
Obtaining the White Tiger God statue is nothing compared to this.
Soon, Su Fan set off for the Wang family of Tianshan based on the address given by Elder Mo.
Upon arriving at the Wang family home, Su Fan was warmly received by the family head, Wang Tian.
"Young friend Su, we've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon, and we've finally managed to invite you here."
Su Fan smiled politely.
"Senior Wang, you're too kind. May I ask which Chinese deities you would like me to identify?"
Wang Tian said, "Please come with me, young friend Su."
Wang Tian then led Su Fan to a secret room, where many statues of Chinese deities were displayed.
"Young friend Su, these are statues of Chinese deities collected by our Wang family over many years. Please help us appraise them."
