Fox Demon Crossing

Chapter 162: Urban Vision, the Secret of the Mysterious Scroll

Thick fog permeates the surroundings, and skyscrapers appear and disappear, forming a fantastic scene of a modern city. In the center of this bustling city, a towering building complex stands, like a fairyland on earth.

However, Jin Renfeng was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at this moment. He looked alert and focused on his surroundings. Between his eyebrows, a flash of electricity was quietly gathering, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

His consciousness was drawn into a painting, and at first he judged it to be a well-designed trap. But he changed his mind and realized that his ability had never been revealed. Unless the other party had the ability to predict the future, they would never know that he could break the restrictions behind the Dharma Image. In modern society, this kind of divination is too mysterious and almost impossible to happen.

Suddenly, Jin Renfeng felt a strong gaze locked on him. He turned back quickly, but the feeling of being watched disappeared instantly.

There is something wrong! Jin Renfeng looked calm, and after a little thought, he decided to look around and not sit and wait for death. The way to survive is never to wait, but to take the initiative.

Standing on the rooftop of a tall building, he looked down at the deep basement below. In theory, he was as light as paper in his soul state, and it was not difficult for him to stay afloat. However, here, there was an invisible force that prevented his soul from flying.

It seemed that it was impossible to fly down and explore directly relying on the soul talent. After thinking for a moment, Jin Renfeng began to walk around the rooftop.

"There is no way down..."

Looking around, he found that there was a bottomless underground space all around him, without any accessible roads. This confused him.

There was no one around, and the only place to hide was the basement below. Since he couldn't find the exit for the time being, Jin Renfeng chose to sit on a huge billboard and try to sense his body in the outside world. Unfortunately, he didn't feel any connection.

It was as if in this strange space, his soul and body had completely lost contact. This was not a good sign, which meant that it would be very difficult for him to break free from the space constraints in the painting and leave this place. Moreover, there were unknown observers lurking in the dark.

Could it be the guardian spirit in the painting? It is not impossible. After countless years, a magic weapon may give birth to a magic weapon spirit, just like a stubborn stone may gain wisdom after years of baptism. And the existence of this Dharma painting is difficult to estimate, so it is not impossible that it gave birth to a painting spirit.

After an unknown amount of time, Jin Renfeng closed his eyes and seemed to be in a meditative state. Suddenly, a sound of something rapidly cutting through the air rang in his ears.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and his soul leaped up instantly. The next moment, the billboard he was sitting on was blown to pieces by a bolt of lightning.

Jin Renfeng only caught a glimpse of a flash of lightning, which shattered the billboard and then rushed towards him who was floating in the air at an astonishing speed.

Click!

A thunderous sound resounded through the sky. The golden man-phoenix landed steadily on the ground, and the lightning in the eye between his eyebrows weakened a little.

"What the hell is this?!"

He couldn't see the lightning clearly and could only watch it rush into the depths of the basement and then disappear without a trace.

“The voyeurism is gone.”

"So, the guy who attacked me just now was the one who had been watching from the dark?"

Jin Renfeng's eyes were cold. Now that he had come out, it was just the right thing to do. After all, it was not a good thing to let the soul leave the body for a long time.

At this moment, a figure clung to the wall of the rooftop, with blood-red eyes flashing with lightning and the whole body wrapped in lightning, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

"Guru Guru~"

The low roar echoed in the silent basement.

Soon, the figure moved again, spread its wings, and flashed with lightning.

Jin Renfeng watched vigilantly, and saw a ray of lightning rising up from the basement and heading straight towards him.

"I want to see who you are!"

Jin Renfeng looked serious. The brief confrontation just now made him realize that this thing seemed to be immune to thunder attacks. Seeing the opponent attacking again, he put his hands together, and a mighty Dharma body appeared behind him - that was the Dharma body of Chiyou that he realized when he was studying the spirit-binding and general-dispatching method.

Behind him, the six-armed Chi You Dharmadhatu let out an angry roar, and the chain held in one of its hands shot quickly towards the figure flying in the air like a long snake.

However, for some reason, the figure let out a sharp cry similar to that of a bird, and the lightning on its body became even more intense. However, this did not stop the chains, and its body was pierced by the chains, and it let out a painful roar, and then was tightly entangled by the chains.

The figure struggled in the chains, thunder rumbled, and the chains showed signs of breaking.

Chi You was furious and held the chain with both hands, which strengthened the chain. However, that guy was obviously not an easy character to deal with. With a sharp long whistle and the impact of thunder, the black chain was immediately covered with cracks.

Seeing that the chain was about to break, Chi You's other three free hands also grabbed one end of the chain at the same time. Every time an extra hand grasped the chain, the power transmitted would be doubled.

With the combined efforts of five hands, the chain gradually tightened. Finally, as the lightning gradually dissipated, Jin Renfeng finally saw the guy's true face.

"This is……"

A trace of surprise flashed across his face. The creature in front of him had a pair of fleshy wings, a dark face, red hair, copper bell-like eyes, a sharp mouth and fangs, and five sharp claws. This was clearly the legendary Lei Zhenzi - the thunder and lightning messenger of the Chan Sect.

The guardian spirit in the scroll? He remembered that in a certain urban legend world, he had fought with a painter who entered Taoism through painting. The other party fought with him because of his identity as a monster. The painter had the power of Jindan, and all the paintings he drew could manifest entities. He also had a family scroll that was already spiritual. That fight forced Jin Renfeng to retreat and flee.

So, is this Dharma picture also psychic?

After a careful observation, Jin Renfeng's eyes became more and more solemn. This guy didn't look like a rational being. He didn't know much about the spiritual scroll, and he was not sure how to deal with it for a while.

Kill it? This is also a way to leave here. As a painting spirit, once I die, the world in the painting will also collapse. However, it feels a bit regrettable to kill it so easily.

With the help of Chiyou's Dharma image, Jin Renfeng decided to try to control the painting spirit by using the spirit-binding technique.
