"Hahaha, you ask that, can't you see such a good show?"
The man who came forward burst into laughter and pointed at the living room of the Cai residence.
Inside the living room, it was a complete mess. Although Cai Rong was in pain, he was still lucid. Cai Jinqu, seeing Zuo Ruxiu, was furious and was yelling at her, even cursing Cai Rong along with her.
"Why did you choose to bring this woman home today? Any other day wouldn't do, but you had to pick today?"
He questioned Cai Rong loudly.
Cai Rong didn't understand what was wrong with Cai Jinqu. In his entire life, this was the first time his son had ever lost his temper with him like this.
For him today, it was just a thought to come back and visit. Besides, Zuo Ruxiu was single now, and he had decided to give her a proper title.
Since she was destined to have a place in this family, it was natural to come home and visit.
Perhaps, from now on, this home would be lively again?
Cai Jinfat only protected the woman he brought, completely disregarding the arguments between Cai Jinqu, Cai Rong, and Zuo Ruxiu. He just wanted to escape this place as quickly as possible, but he couldn't leave without offering incense to his mother.
Liu Sandao glanced over and shook his head.
This was truly a tangled mess, with gods and demons fighting, and humans fighting too, all colliding.
No wonder the one who came forward said they were here to watch a show; it made sense.
But this was definitely not the man's purpose for coming.
The guardian deity and the Ten-Faced Rakshasa had fought for dozens of rounds, and neither had the upper hand.
The Ten-Faced Rakshasa grew braver with each fight. Recently, by refining some blessed fruits, his strength had greatly increased. He would never have dared to fight against a guardian deity before, but in this encounter, he finally realized that his strength had indeed improved.
The "Cai" guardian deity became more perplexed as the fight went on: "How can a Rakshasa possess such formidable strength?"
He had never encountered such a formidable character among the Rakshasa ghosts and deities in the past.
These guardian deities were essentially classified by strength. Depending on the level of the mortal star, the guardian deities assigned would naturally differ in power.
In the past, a Rakshasa couldn't even defeat the guardian deity of a one-star individual. But this Rakshasa this time could fight him to a draw, which was truly vexing.
While fending off the Ten-Faced Rakshasa, the "Cai" guardian deity pondered the current situation. His focus wavered, and in a moment of carelessness, he was grazed by the half-moon shovel of the Ten-Faced Rakshasa.
Although it didn't wound him, it did tear his protective armor.
"Beast! How dare you scratch my armor? I'll make sure you regret it!"
The guardian deity roared and attacked the Ten-Faced Rakshasa with all his might.
Sensing danger, the Ten-Faced Rakshasa turned and fled into the distance.
The other guardian deities were entangled with the souls, with no clear advantage.
"All useless!"
The man who came forward muttered, throwing away the half-smoked cigar in his hand.
He was about to make a move!
With a mere wave of his hand, a large swarm of bats instantly appeared in the sky.
Immediately, there was a cacophony of "squeak, squeak, squeak."
Upon seeing this, the Ten-Faced Rakshasa and the souls halted their attacks and fled to the side.
Those were the bats trained by the man who came forward; they could not withstand their power.
"Big beard, I advise you to report yourself early to avoid suffering fleshly torments!"
The Ten-Faced Rakshasa, having fled, appeared beside the man who came forward and spoke to the "Cai" deity.
The guardian deity stood with righteous indignation. Although he was puzzled as to why all the souls had scattered, he did not retreat.
The other minor deities took the opportunity to gather around him.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! He can't do much to us!"
The guardian deity said, comforting the minor deities beside him.
"Overestimating yourself!"
The man who came forward said coldly.
With another wave of his hand, the swarm of bats, as if receiving a command, furiously charged towards the guardian deity.
The guardian deity's golden light protected him, but it was of no use against the onslaught of the bat swarm.
In an instant, the guardian deities were surrounded.
What followed were cries of "Ow!" and "Ah!", a rather gruesome scene.
Liu Sandao's attention had been focused on the man who came forward attempting to seize the blessed fruit. He had not expected him to attack these guardian deities.
As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, but how could he stand by idly while these deities were now facing calamity?
He immediately used his Ruoshui Fu secret technique to erect a barrier and shouted, "Quick, take cover over here!"
The "Cai" guardian deity, with the highest cultivation, naturally possessed some protective power. Seeing Liu Sandao raise a barrier, he immediately rose and drilled into it.
The other minor deities, with slightly higher cultivation, also managed to escape into the barrier with some effort.
However, one or two with low cultivation had already been devoured by the bat swarm.
"Alas, I never expected this bat swarm to be so powerful!"
The "Cai" guardian deity, temporarily safe, exclaimed in amazement.
Liu Sandao remained silent, watching the bat swarm.
These bats had significantly increased in strength compared to before. If his own cultivation hadn't advanced, this barrier might not have been enough to withstand their gnawing.
"Ah, I've long heard that the current God of Death has several great treasures, and the bat swarm is one of them. Goodness, it truly is powerful!"
Said one of the guardian deities who had fled inside.
He also bore a "Cai" character, likely one of Cai Rong's sons' guardian deities.
"What? You're saying this bat swarm belongs to the God of Death, the one who came forward?"
The guardian deity of Cai Rong was greatly alarmed, seemingly unaware of the opponent's background.
"Yes, alas! I think we should make plans early. This time, the waiting period might be brought forward!"
"Ah! How truly unlucky!"
Cai Rong's guardian deity sighed.
The reputation of the man who came forward had spread throughout the three realms. They had once thought it was just a legend, never expecting it to fall upon them today.
Although it was inevitable to face such a calamity when guarding mortals, there was still a sliver of displeasure in their hearts.
"Hey! Right, excuse me, young brother, where do you come from? Why are you not afraid of the one who came forward?... Moreover, judging by your magic power, you should be a deity. Why are you here?"
The guardian deity seemed to have many questions, mumbling a lot.
"This..."
Before Liu Sandao could explain, the man who came forward began to act. He had to focus intently on him.
The bat swarm did not break through the barrier Liu Sandao had erected, which greatly perplexed the man who came forward.
He had always believed that the bats he had trained for so long would be more than enough to deal with Liu Sandao. He never expected the current situation.
"Roar!"
The man who came forward, his demeanor changing from courteous to arrogant, pushed his palms forward, sending a beam of light straight towards Liu Sandao's barrier.
"Not good! Quickly dodge!"
Liu Sandao shouted and dodged to the side.
The others also quickly scattered.
Without the barrier, the bat swarm regrouped and charged towards Liu Sandao and the group of guardian deities.
