Yakshas were already the most perfect combat units in the Underworld. Whether it was the ox head or the horse face, there might be some who were stronger than ordinary Yakshas. For example, the Judges were mostly stronger than Yakshas, but they were the " weakest " orthodox ghosts in the netherworld. Therefore, although the Yaksha Legion was the most elite army in the Underworld, they were not the strongest individually. However, Yakshas were publicly acknowledged to be perfect in combat. Speed, physical strength, agility, explosive power…etc, etc, almost all of them were impeccable.
However, their impeccable was only "almost". Yakshas 'fatal weakness was their wings. Although Yakshas with wings looked very flashy, their wings were the weakest part of their body. Even so, they were enough to become the most perfect combat unit in the Netherworld. Even if their wings were their weakness, as long as they paid more attention, it would be difficult for them to be attacked.
This Yaksha called Chi Yu had overestimated himself and underestimated Shen Xianlai. He actually did not expect Shen Xianlai to use Soul Rotation to attack him.
The so-called Soul Rotation was a spell that allowed the spirit body to teleport. Shen Xianlai seized the moment when Chi Yu attacked him and used Soul Rotation to teleport behind Chi Yu and deliver a fatal blow. This kind of battle required a good grasp of time. If he were to act too late, he would be torn into two by Scarlet Jade before he could use Soul Rotation. If he were to act too early, Scarlet Jade would not completely let down her guard. It was easy to fail and be countered by Scarlet Jade.
Shen Xianlai clenched his fists and punched at Chi Yu's wings. The spiritual essence in his fists exploded rapidly, causing great damage to Chi Yu's wings.
Shen Xianlai kicked Chi Yu away in mid-air and then ran in the opposite direction. Shen Xianlai's two fists had already disappeared. The fighting style of punching the enemy with both fists and exploding the moment they came into contact with the enemy was to hurt oneself first and then hurt others. Killing 1,000 enemies, losing 800 of their own.
Shen Xian believed that he did not have the ability to fight Yaksha Chi Yu head-on, but he believed that he had a way to escape.
Scarlet Jade Yaksha's wings were severely injured and he would not be able to recover for a while. By the time he recovered, Shen Xianlai had already disappeared.
Shen Xianlai ran for an unknown distance until he reached the side of a large river. The river was so wide that he couldn't see the other side. There were many evil ghosts that were wailing in the river, one by one. They struggled and pulled the people around them, as if they wanted to climb out of the water, but they could not. One of them pushed the person beside him down, as if he was trying to climb out of the water. The other hand would drag him down, trying to use his strength to climb up to the surface. In the end, no one could climb up to the surface.
A hunchbacked old lady, who was only about 1.4 meters tall, stood in front of Shen Xianlai. She was wearing a navy blue cloth shirt and had a bun on the back of her head. She held a dragon-headed walking stick in her left hand and a white porcelain bowl filled with brown soup in her right hand. The soup in the white bowl was very fragrant. Even Shen Xianlai, who was already a ghost, felt like drooling.
"Young man, you must be tired from running. Do you want a bowl of soup?”The old lady asked with a smile.
Although Shen Xianlai really wanted to drink that bowl of soup, he remembered that he was still being chased and did not stop. Although the Yaksha might not be able to catch up in a short period of time, as the old saying goes, it is better to be careful. It is better to run a little more and feel more at ease. Hence, Shen Xianlai only said to the old lady," No need, thank you."”Then, he ran forward.
Shen Xianlai had been running for about fifteen minutes when he saw a hunchbacked old lady in navy blue clothes, holding a dragon-headed walking stick in one hand and a soup bowl in the other, blocking his way. "Young man, you must be tired from running. Are you thirsty? Give me a bowl of soup. It's free."
"I'm not thirsty, thank you." Shen Xianlai replied. After he finished speaking, he continued to run forward.
Shen Xianlai ran for about fifteen minutes before the hunchbacked old lady appeared in front of him again. She was still holding a dragon-headed walking stick in one hand and a soup bowl in the other.
"Old Madam, you're looking for me…Is there something you need?”
The old lady smiled." I just wanted to ask if you wanted to drink this bowl of soup. Young man, do you want it?"
Shen Xianlai took the bowl of soup from the old lady's hands and swallowed his saliva. In the end, he did not dare to drink the bowl of soup. Instead, he was prepared to fight. Could it be that this old lady had chased him all the way just to give him a bowl of soup? Was there such a good person in this day and age? Not to mention this era, even since Pangu created the world, there had never been such a good person, right?
"May I know how I should address you, Madam?" Shen Xianlai took a few steps back and asked respectfully. His running speed was already considered very fast among ghosts. This skinny old lady could actually easily catch up to him, and he didn't notice it at all. She was definitely not simple.
"My surname is Meng. People in the past call me Granny Meng.”
When Shen Xianlai heard this name, he hurriedly took a few steps back and threw the white porcelain bowl on the ground. The brown, alluring soup spilled all over the ground.
Legend had it that ghosts had to drink Granny Meng's soup before they reincarnated. After drinking Granny Meng's soup, the ghosts would lose all their memories of their previous lives. After that, he crossed the Bridge of Helplessness and his reincarnation began anew.
"You spilled my soup?" Meng Po stared at Shen Xianlai angrily. Unknowingly, her withered hand had already grabbed Shen Xianlai's arm tightly. Shen Xianlai struggled with all his might but could not break free. He could only sigh at the strength of this hunched old lady.
"Grandma Meng Po…Aunt Meng Po…Aunt Meng Po…Sister Meng Po…Sister Meng Po, can you let me go?”Shen Xianlai begged for mercy with a bitter face. Meng Po's seniority was getting lower and lower by the time he called her. In the end, Meng Po, this thousand-year-old woman, actually became his younger sister.
"Young man, don't be like this. I'm doing this for your own good. Your background…I know. You escaped from King Chujiang's Southern Hell, and you're a prisoner. If you were captured by them, you would definitely not be able to get out without being locked up for 800 to 1,000 years for breaking out of prison. You know what kind of place hell is. After staying in there for a long time, even the best person will become crazy. I advise you to drink my Meng Po soup and send you to reincarnation. Other people wouldn't have such a good opportunity even if they begged the heavens every day, but you're actually unwilling. You must know that many people want to leave this boring netherworld in pain.”
"Can Samsara…not drink your soup?”Shen Xianlai asked weakly.
"No, this is the rule. If you want to pass through my Bridge of Helplessness and enter reincarnation, you must drink my bewitching soup.”
Shen Xianlai smiled bitterly." In that case, can I not drink Granny Meng's soup?"”
"Those who fall into my hands only have two choices.”Meng Po said," One is to drink the bewitching soup and cross the Bridge of Helplessness to reincarnate; The other one…"
