As Yang Tao's voice echoed, beams of sunlight pierced through the dark, sunless underworld.
Thick black mist surged from Wangsi City, but under the sunlight, it began melting away like snow.
Weaker ghosts were instantly incinerated, their souls scattered into nothingness. Even the stronger ones could only cower in the shadows, trembling in fear.
In no time, the once-crowded Wangsi City became eerily empty.
Seeing the result, Yang Tao thought to himself, *Having Charizard learn this move beforehand was definitely worth it!*
"Black Mountain Demon! Still not coming out?"
A furious voice rang out from the mountain. "You're going too far! How dare you invade my territory?!"
The sunlight shining down on Black Mountain made it feel unbearable pain.
Yang Tao smirked. "Weren't you the one who told us to come find you?"
Black Mountain was speechless.
*Damn it! Who actually expects someone to take their threats literally? Who the hell chases an enemy all the way to their doorstep like this?!*
Black Mountain growled, "Leave now, and I'll let everything slide. I promise I won't cause any trouble for you in the human world!"
Yang Tao laughed. "Oh, now you're acting tough? You really don't get the situation, do you? Charizard, use *Flamethrower*!"
The Black Mountain Demon summoned countless rocks to block the attack, but it was useless. Charizard's flames burned right through every obstacle and struck Black Mountain's true body directly.
Screams of agony echoed from the Black Mountain Demon.
"Still holding up? Its real body is actually fine?" Yang Tao was surprised that despite the demon's screams, it didn't seem too badly hurt.
The demon's body had shrunk a bit, but it was still so massive that Yang Tao couldn't really tell the difference.
"Charizard, keep going! Let's see if we can burn it to death today!" Yang Tao commanded as Charizard continued to spew fire.
"Aahh! I surrender! Spare me!" The Black Mountain Demon screamed while begging for mercy.
"Spare you? Did you ever spare those who begged you when they were dying at your hands?" Yang Tao had no intention of letting it go. Those who kill will eventually be killed in return. If one day someone sought revenge for the demon, Yang Tao wouldn't complain.
Now, he could see more clearly—two-thirds of the demon's original size was gone.
"Alright, Charizard, use G-Max Impact!"
Charizard flapped its wings of fire, soared into the sky, then turned into a streak of blazing light, crashing down onto the demon's body.
The ground shook violently as dust filled the air.
When the dust finally settled, the entire Black Mountain lay in ruins, shattered to pieces, with no sign of the demon's voice anymore.
Yan Chixia, who was still in the middle of eating an apple, saw this and could only think of one thing:
That's it? That's all? I got up, and the fight was already over?
And just like that, this chaotic trip to the underworld ended. Once Yan Chixia's powers recovered, the group returned to the human world.
But after Yang Tao and the others left, the scattered rubble of the Black Mountain slowly began to gather again, forming a new mountain. However, it was no longer the same Black Mountain Demon. Maybe, centuries from now, another demon king would rise here.
As the group returned, Xu Xian looked at them and asked, "Back so soon? What happened to the Black Mountain Demon?"
"Gone. And we took care of the City of Lost Souls while we were at it."
Hearing this, the Tree Demon Granny trembled in fear.
Yang Tao glanced around and didn't see Ning Caichen. Curious, he asked, "By the way, where's Ning Caichen?"
Xu Xian simply pointed toward Nie Xiaoqian's room without saying a word.
Damn, things escalated that fast?
Just then, Ning Caichen walked out of the room. "You're all back?"
Tony smirked. "Any later, and we wouldn't be here for your wedding—we'd be here for your kid's birthday!"
Ning Caichen's face instantly turned red. "I just… confessed my feelings to Miss Xiaoqian, that's all! She agreed to come with me! Besides, what could we possibly do in such a short time?"
Ren Fa chuckled. "So what you're saying is, if you had more time, you'd be doing something?"
Yang Tao grinned. "Maybe we should head back to see if the Black Mountain Demon is still breathing. Caichen, would two hours be enough?"
Hearing their teasing, Xiaoqian was already hiding behind Ning Caichen, too embarrassed to come out.
"Come on, stop messing with me!" Ning Caichen didn't even know how to respond anymore.
"Alright, that's enough, everyone," Yang Tao finally put an end to the jokes.
He then walked over to the trembling Tree Demon Granny.
"Granny, let's have a little chat, shall we?"
