The white-capped black giant said to Wen Wen, "After we take the coffin away, there will be no more lurking dangers in this place. We only need to wait for more than ten years, and the Yin evil ghost energy within the tomb will naturally dissipate, and no more disasters will be caused."
"Then, thank you for your assistance this time. We bid farewell."
The white-capped black giant took out a small horn and blew a strange melody. The six black giants carrying the coffin also twisted their bodies rhythmically to the tune, then slowly moved in one direction.
In the void in that direction, a black, nebulous mist appeared. It was from such a mist that the ghost dragons had previously appeared in the Land of Slumber. It was likely that as long as these black giants carried the coffin into that nebulous mist, they could safely leave the Land of Slumber.
The ancient bronze coffin began to shake slightly, as if trying to break free, but the strange melody seemed to possess a peculiar power that firmly suppressed the restless coffin.
But just then, Wen Wen pressed the play button on the sound system again, and a dynamic piece of music began to play.
"Thunderclap, earth-shattering cultivation, sky falling and earth collapsing, purple gold hammer..."
Wen Wen turned the sound system up to the maximum volume, immediately drowning out the white-capped black giant's small horn.
"Enough! What exactly do you want?"
A mottled beam of light rushed towards the sound system, but Wen Wen swatted it away. Wen Wen turned off the sound system and looked at the white-capped black giant with a smile.
"You don't really think I'll just stand by and watch you take the Northern Yin Emperor, Luo Feng, to Fenggui Shen, do you?"
The movements of the black giants stopped, and their aura instantly became incredibly fierce, "What do you know?"
Wen Wen strolled over to the coffin, examined the ancient bronze coffin, and said, "I don't know much, but your objective is too easy to guess."
"The Land of Slumber, as the name suggests, is where Luo Feng is meant to slumber peacefully. It was originally a place of harmony, with nothing but the nine ghost dragons and that coffin."
"Naturally, there were no seven of you things either."
"But sixty-nine years ago, an external force used the power of a calamity to forcibly enter the Land of Slumber, causing an earthquake that cracked open the tomb and led to the leakage of tomb energy, resulting in an epidemic. After that, the nights in the Muyuan community also saw the appearance of the Mist of Slumber."
"It was from that time onwards that the Land of Slumber gained many things –凶灵恶鬼 (fierce spirits and malevolent ghosts) everywhere, and the deceased tomb keepers. And all these things were meant to deal with the sudden appearance of you seven!"
The white-capped black giant remained silent, because what Wen Wen had said was essentially true.
x The iron wings spread, and the Blood River Sword flashed with an eerie light. Wen Wen stared at the white-capped black giant, entering a fighting stance.
"A calamity that would be interested in Luo Feng, and subordinates like you who are neither ghost nor not-ghost, I don't think there's any other calamity besides Fenggui Shen."
"Fenggui Shen coveting Luo Feng is either to strengthen himself using Luo Feng, to create natural disasters with Luo Feng, or to obtain some secret from Luo Feng."
"No matter what your objective is, as a demon hunter, I will not let you succeed."
The white-capped black giant was silent for a moment, then with a whoosh, it appeared in front of Wen Wen. Its strangely long arms and legs rapidly attacked Wen Wen. Its movements did not seem fast, but Wen Wen had to fend off dozens of attacks every second.
However, a single giant could not pose any real threat to Wen Wen. Wen Wen's Blood River Sword blurred into a phantom, slashing streaks of bloody wounds across its body. Then, the blood within its body began to seep out slowly, gradually flowing into the Blood River Sword, causing the white-capped black giant to weaken rapidly.
Seeing that it was no match for Wen Wen, the white-capped black giant let out a loud roar. The other black giants immediately put down the coffin and began to attack Wen Wen.
The seven giants gathered together, even though they were all injured, they exerted immense pressure on Wen Wen. After a dozen exchanges of brute force, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of Wen Wen's mouth.
Each of these seven fellows was close to the limit of the Upper Order. If he didn't use his trump cards, he truly wouldn't be able to defeat the combined might of the seven monsters.
However, Wen Wen only needed to stall these seven fellows for a while. He had been observing the energy readings within the coffin.
When the nine ghost dragons began to be reduced in number, the energy there showed signs of revival. Before the coffin was lifted, it was almost ready to break out.
But after those black giants started their strange dance, the signs of active energy disappeared again.
Now that Wen Wen was holding off these seven black giants, there was no one to suppress the contents of the coffin, and the energy was on the verge of exploding.
Boom!
The coffin lid was kicked flying directly, soaring hundreds of meters away. Then, a figure several meters tall crawled out of the coffin.
The figure was originally wearing a luxurious robe, but it had been torn by its suddenly enlarged size. Fortunately, the figure was covered in thick, long, red coarse hair, so nothing inappropriate was exposed.
This was the Northern Yin Emperor, Luo Feng, who had been sealed in the coffin for a thousand years!
"Roar... Aow!"
As soon as Luo Feng emerged, he let out a high-pitched roar, containing a thousand years of imprisoned rage.
All the ghostly beings in the entire Land of Slumber who heard this roar immediately knelt on the ground, creating a profoundly shocking scene.
Wen Wen curled his lips; he had also made all the mist monsters kneel before.
Tao Qingqing and Fo Hai, who were spectating from the side, also felt a peculiar force that made them want to prostrate themselves before this red-furred monster. However, they were not native ghosts of this place, so they managed to resist.
After the roar, Luo Feng stood up straight. Although he looked like a red-furred great ape, he possessed the dignity and bearing of an emperor.
He looked at Wen Wen and the seven black giants, emanating a potent ghost aura, stronger than all the ghosts in the Land of Slumber combined!
This fellow's strength was undoubtedly true Upper Order, and moreover, it was an extremely powerful one within the Upper Order. Even if he couldn't match Wen Li at full strength, he could be compared to Sun Shanxing.
With Wen Wen's current strength, even with all his means unleashed, he might not be a match for this fellow.
Therefore, after a moment's thought, Wen Wen devised a classic strategy: to make the black giants and Luo Feng mutually destroy each other, allowing him to reap the benefits.
However, neither Luo Feng nor the black giants would likely stand by and watch Wen Wen play such a trick. Thus, to achieve his goal...
Luo Feng's eyes, filled with killing intent, fixed on Wen Wen.
This fellow was very skilled at using the "drive the tiger and wolf to attack the waves" and "borrow a knife to kill" tactics. Therefore, before the real battle commenced, he needed to deal with Wen Wen first. Sensing Luo Feng's gaze, the black giants reached a unified conclusion.
They could lose the battle, but Wen Wen must die!
Thus, the seven black giants fiercely attacked Wen Wen, while the aloof red-furred monster Luo Feng conjured a large black bow in his hand, with countless resentful spirits and vengeful energies converging on the bow and arrow.
Luo Feng gently released his grip, and this black, luminous beam imbued with immense energy shot towards Wen Wen.
Enemies were annoying, but those fair-weather friends who liked to stab you in the back were even more annoying. Without absolute strength, becoming the fisherman wasn't so easy...
