Ancient Mountain Mystery (I)

Chapter 5: Yang Shen

"Ying'er!" Xu Ruian shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's me, Xu Ruian."

But Ying'er didn't respond.

Xu Ruian's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.

Is Ying'er in trouble?

He rushed to Ying'er anxiously.

Xu Ruian arrived in front of Ying'er, but Ying'er still didn't move.

Xu Ruian was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot.

Just then, Xu Ruian suddenly saw a pair of dark eyes, and then he flew backwards and was fixed on the wall.

A puff of black smoke came out of Ying'er's body and slowly gathered into the shape of a man. This man had long black hair, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips that were neither thin nor thick. His face was so handsome, as if it was carefully carved out with a knife, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He was wearing a big black robe, and his figure was slender and upright.

This man was the God of Power.

"Who are you?" Xu Ruian stared at Quan Shen with full vigilance.

Quan Shen ignored Xu Ruian's question, his eyes fell on Xu Ruian, and then said coldly: "Are you Xu Ruian?"

"Yes, it's me," Xu Ruian replied.

"That's right." Quan Shen said, "Then you are my thirteenth sacrifice."

"I don't understand, who are you and why do you want to kidnap Ying'er?" Xu Ruian asked.

"For a woman, do you have to fight so hard?" Quan Shen asked back.

"Ying'er doesn't like you at all. What good can you get from treating her like this?" Xu Ruian continued to ask.

" It's not your turn to intervene in my affairs. Just remember that you are my sacrifice." Quan Shen said coldly.

Xiao Ming rushed to help Xu Ruian, but as soon as he approached Xu Ruian, he was blown away by an invisible force.

Xiao Ming was shaken several meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

Xiao Ming got up and looked at Quan Shen.

Quan Shen's eyes also fell on Xiao Ming, and he walked over slowly and said, "Your spiritual energy is also very strong, but compared with this descendant of the Xu family, he is more interesting to me." After Quan Shen finished speaking, he turned his eyes back to Xu Ruian.

Xiao Ming's face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to hurt Ruian, I will never let you go!"

"Hehe..." Quan Shen chuckled a few times. Okay, I am interested in the descendants of the Xu family. But do you think you can stop me by yourself?"

"I can't stop you, but I can kill you!" Xiao Ming finished speaking, and a sharp sword emerged from his right hand. He swung it a few times, and the surrounding air solidified instantly, and then stabbed towards Quan Shen.

Quan Shen didn't dodge, and directly used his palm to meet the sword.

"Ding!" There was a crisp sound, and then the sword in Xiao Ming's hand fell to the ground.

The God of Power easily grasped Xiao Ming's sword, looked at Xu Ruian, and said, "You are lucky to find a scapegoat so quickly."

After the God of Power finished speaking, he slapped Xiao Ming away with a palm.

"Puff!" Xiao Ming spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Xu Ruian was heartbroken to see Xiao Ming injured, but he knew that he had to save Xiao Ming.

Xu Ruian struggled to break free from the God of Power, but it was useless.

A sword appeared in the hand of the God of Power, and he walked towards Xu Ruian and said, "How do you want to die?"

"No matter what, I will not let you hurt Xiao Ming." Xu Ruian gritted his teeth and said.

"In this case, I will send you to see the King of Hell."

After speaking, the long sword in the hand of the God of Power cut through the air and stabbed Xu Ruian.

The blade cut through the air, making a whimper, and the tip of the sword pierced into Xu Ruian's chest.

Xu Ruian looked down at his chest, and bright red blood kept pouring out.

Xu Ruian felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and he knew that his life was coming to an end.

Is everything over?

At this moment, his consciousness seemed to enter a space, in the center of which floated a bead emitting colorful light, surrounded by colorful clouds and mists, which kept changing shapes and combining, and finally turned into a huge figure. This figure had red hair, a muscular body, and electric currents wrapped around his body.

The giant stretched out a hand and grabbed Xu Ruian.

Xu Ruian felt a strange attraction coming to him, and his body flew up uncontrollably and was sucked into the beach by the giant.

The giant suddenly became as big as Xu Ruian, walked towards Xu Ruian, and said, "You are finally here."

"Who is it?" Xu Ruian asked.

"My name is Yang Shen," the giant replied.

Xu Ruian suddenly remembered the pendant that Yi Cheng had given him, took it out and saw that it said: Yang Shen.

Yang Shen smiled and said, "You still don't know how to use my power."

Xu Ruian looked at Yang Shen with a puzzled look, not understanding why he said that.

Yang Shen smiled and said, "Because you are a descendant of the Xu family."

Xu Ruian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. The spiritual energy in your body is very strong. You can turn all these powers into your own through this jade pendant, so I need your soul." Yang Shen said.

"Soul? What do you mean?"

"You have too much energy hidden in your body, so if you are willing to let me help you, you can have my power, and my power can help you improve your strength." Yang Shen said.

"Improve your strength?"

"Yes, my power can give you extraordinary abilities, allowing you to have the ability to exceed the limit of your body's endurance, and your life span can be extended for a long time. You can even become stronger and even become a real god!" Yang Shen said.

"Real God?" Xu Ruian muttered to himself, and then said, "Can I trust you?"

"Of course," Yang Shen said, "As long as you are willing, I can do anything for you at any time!"

"Okay, I am willing to accept your power," Xu Ruian said.

"Haha, very good, then let's go together to get rid of this guy called Quan Shen!" Yang Shen said, putting his hand on Xu Ruian's shoulder.

In reality, Xiao Ming saw Xu Ruian being pierced through the chest, his face full of worry. Although he had guessed that Xu Ruian would be killed by Quan Shen, he didn't expect it to be so soon, and he was not ready yet.

"Xu Ruian!" Xiao Ming shouted at the top of his voice, then ran to Xu Ruian's side, looking at the bloody hole in Xu Ruian's chest. He felt very distressed.

Quan Shen laughed and said, "Don't worry about him, your companion is dead."

Xiao Ming widened his eyes and said, "What did you say?"

"Haha, I said your companion is dead, I just killed him." Quan Shen said, "Now, shouldn't you think about how to deal with me?"

Xiao Ming stood up and said, "Even if I go to hell, I will never let you leave here alive!"

After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his backpack and rushed towards Quan Shen.

But Quan Shen smiled contemptuously, "Don't know whether to live or die." After speaking, he stretched out his palm, and a powerful force spurted out from his palm and slapped Xiao Ming directly.

At this time, Xu Ruian's body suddenly shot out a golden light, so bright that the two couldn't open their eyes.

After the golden light disappeared, a strong man with red hair and muscles appeared in front of the two.

"Who are you?" Quan Shen asked.

The strong man smiled contemptuously and said, "How dare you, a small fry like you, know who I am?"

The God of Power looked at the strong man and said, "You are not a human being. I am sure you do not belong to this world."

"Yes, I do not belong to this world, but you cannot kill me. I am the God of Yang." After saying this, the God of Yang laughed again, "I tell you, my target is you. You will never be able to turn over, and Xu Ruian is my host."

"Really? Then come on, today I will make you taste what it means to be worse than death!" The God of Power roared and rushed towards the God of Yang. Countless fine needles appeared around his body.

"Hmph, just a trick." The God of Yang snorted coldly, and with a violent wave of his right hand, a huge energy burst out, directly knocking the God of Power out.

"What!?" The God of Power looked at the God of Yang in shock. His body was knocked back and turned over several times in the air before stopping.

"How can you...how is it possible..." Quan Shen looked at Yang Shen in shock, "How can you have such strong power!?"

"Humph, you haven't seen my power, otherwise you wouldn't dare to show up here." Yang Shen sneered, "I'm not an ordinary person, I have a unique power, I am the strongest in the world!"

"The strongest?" Quan Shen sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of a small character like you? It's as easy as stepping on an ant to kill you!"

After saying that, Quan Shen pounced on Yang Shen again. This time, he used a strange movement.

"Wind sweeps away the clouds, cut!" Quan Shen shouted in a low voice, and a gust of wind blew up, instantly sweeping Yang Shen in.

"Little tricks" Yang Shen said disdainfully, and his hands formed seals, and suddenly a flame appeared out of thin air. In the flames, his palms turned into giant claws, and then he grabbed Quan Shen's head fiercely.

With a loud "bang", Quan Shen was slapped to the ground by Yang Shen.

"How can it be... so powerful..." Quan Shen climbed up with difficulty, "No... it shouldn't be like this, this is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible, your strength is too weak, with this little ability, you are not my opponent at all!" Yang Shen said, "You'd better surrender obediently."

"No... Impossible!" Quan Shen said, "I am the king of all demons!"

"The king of all demons? Haha, who are you!" Yang Shen laughed, "I am the strongest!"

After Yang Shen finished speaking, he stretched out a finger, a ray of golden light gathered on his finger, and then flicked his finger, and a ball of fire flew towards Quan Shen.

With a "bang", a big hole was blown out in a corner of the temple, the smoke dissipated, and Quan Shen disappeared.

"Tsk, let him run away." Yang Shen sighed, "It seems that he is more powerful than I thought."

Then he looked at Xiao Ming and said, "I'll leave this guy to you." After that, he fell to the ground and turned back to Xu Ruian.

Xiao Ming ran towards Xu Ruian, shaking his lifeless body...
