Chapter 405: Fierce Fight with the Sophora Tree Demon
…
In the blink of an eye, Yan Chixia has lived in Lanruo Temple for almost half a month.
In the past half month, he had fought with the tree demon for more than ten times, and with the help of many magic weapons in his hands, he had always maintained a draw. Neither side could do anything to the other.
It was rare to encounter such a good opponent, so Yan Chixia was not in a hurry to eliminate it, but instead took the opportunity to hone her own swordsmanship.
Moreover, the fierce fighting promotes the absorption of the elixir, and the magic power improves faster than simply meditating.
After taking a sip of the Five Poison Wine, Yan Chixia showed a look of enjoyment on her face.
Pull off a piece of roasted golden bear meat and stuff it into your mouth.
The aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of meat is particularly tempting.
Looking at Ning Caichen who was swallowing his saliva, Yan Chixia threw the half-eaten bear paw away.
Ning Caichen caught it in panic.
"Thank you, Master Yan."
Seeing him wolfing down the food, Yan Chixia shook her head.
This man was obsessed with the beauty of the female ghost and couldn't help himself. He tried to persuade him to go down the mountain and escape several times, but this man ignored him. Now, he is too lazy to talk anymore.
After eating and drinking, Yan Chixia flew to the temple to practice her sword.
Practice until the sun sets and night covers the earth.
Drive the escaping light and fly to the mountain behind Lanruo Temple.
With a single stroke of the sword, endless sword light flew down to the ground like raindrops.
A thunderous explosion sounded.
"Old tree demon, come out and fight your Grandpa Yan for three hundred rounds!"
A voice that was neither male nor female sounded from underground.
"Yan Chixia, you stinky Taoist priest, grandma must give you a good look."
Listening to the angry voice, Yan Chixia laughed 'haha'.
"Are you as timid as you are, you're worthy of being Grandpa Yan's opponent? I think it's better to surrender as soon as possible and kowtow to your grandpa a few times. Grandpa, once I'm in a good mood, I might as well let you live!"
After he finished speaking, the ground was quiet, and no tree roots of the old demon came up.
Yan Chixia frowned.
"When did this old demon change his temper?"
In the past, when the old tree demon didn't come out, all he had to do was provoke him, and he was sure to make the old demon go crazy and run out to fight with him.
but now…!
Yan Chixia activated the Xuanyuan Sword, and the sharp sword energy slashed the mountain behind Lanruo Temple. Then she greeted the eight generations of the old tree demon's ancestors.
As a result, the old monster made no move.
Yan Chixia's heart sank after struggling for a while, but with no results.
Returning to the Main Hall, I felt the strong ghost energy inside.
Anger suddenly arose in my heart.
"You monster, how dare you bully us. Look at the sword!"
"Master Yan, please show mercy."
Looking at the figure blocking the front, Yan Chixia pointed her sword at her, concealing her magic power and frowning with anger.
"Boy Ning, you are crazy, she is a ghost. And she is a resentful ghost who has been practicing for hundreds of years!!"
"I know Xiaoqian is a ghost, but she has never killed a good person."
Ning Caichen opened his arms. Although the three-foot-long Xuanyuan Sword was pressed against his head, he still stubbornly protected the seemingly delicate white figure behind him.
"You fart, you can't see it clearly with the naked eye. But a certain family can clearly see that the resentment in this female ghost is so strong that it almost condenses into a canopy. From this, it can be seen that countless people have died in her hands.
Only a fool like you thinks she is a good ghost!"
"No. Xiaoqian was originally an official, but she met a bandit on the road and was humiliated to death. That's why she hates lustful people so much. She only kills those libertines who can't withstand the temptation of beauty. She never kills good people."
Yan Chixia laughed angrily.
If you can't resist the temptation of beauty, you should die. Ninety-nine percent of the men in the world will die. Moreover, if you can kill someone at any time as long as you have a suitable reason, then why do you need laws?!
"Master Yan, Nie Xiaoqian knows that her sins are serious and that even though she is dead, she cannot be redeemed. But Caichen and I truly love each other and have no intention of causing any harm. I hope that Master Yan will understand clearly."
"Hmph, humans and ghosts have different paths. Even if what you say is true, you can't become husband and wife, and you can't be lovers. Moreover, ghosts are inherently filled with resentment, hatred, hatred, yin energy, and evil spirits. Practitioners dare not approach them.
, let alone a mortal. If you stay with him for less than half a year, this silly boy will definitely die from his yang energy."
"I am willing. As long as I am with Xiaoqian, I am willing even if it is only for one day." After Ning Caichen finished speaking loudly, he turned his head and held Nie Xiaoqian's hands.
"Cai Chen...!"
Seeing the affectionate expressions of one person and one ghost, Yan Chixia felt a fire in her heart but couldn't let it out.
"It's hard to persuade those damn ghosts with good words, I'm too lazy to care about you!"
He jumped straight up into the blue clouds, intending to hide in peace.
But an inexplicable warning came to mind.
The monk's spiritual sense was extremely sharp. Yan Chixia activated the phantom bronze mirror in her Dantian to look around. When she saw the situation in the Main Hall, she immediately became furious.
"Old demon, how dare you!"
Flying down, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian stood opposite each other in the main hall. The affectionate look on the latter's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a face full of ferocity and bloodthirsty.
Qianqiansu's hand even penetrated Ning Caichen's chest and took out his heart.
Looking at Yan Chixia flying over in a hurry, Nie Xiaoqian's voice sounded neither male nor female.
"Hey, Yan Chixia, grandma, I've been planning this for half a month, but in the end I made the best move."
Yan Chixia's face turned ugly when she saw the talisman flashing above Nie Xiaoqian's head.
"Puppet Talisman!"
"You do have eyesight, but...it's too late!"
Holding Ning Caichen's heart, he controlled Nie Xiaoqian and sank into the ground in an instant.
Yan Chixia was furious. This old tree demon had never set foot in the temple this month. She thought there was something in the temple that was holding it down.
Only now did I realize that it was all a trap set up by this monster.
In the end, he was tricked.
Although he looked down upon Ning Caichen's indecisive temperament, the death of a man of merit and virtue in front of him still made him furious.
Although he doesn't know how to escape from the earth, he still has the Hutian Talisman.
Following the old demon's aura, he went straight into the ground. Soon he went hundreds of feet deep and arrived at the huge underground cave.
Looking at the ocean-like human and animal skeletons under the huge tree canopy, Yan Chixia seemed to hear the wails of the undead, so miserable that it penetrated her heart.
After being shocked, a nameless anger shot straight from his heart to the sky.
"Old monster, someone will cut off your roots today!"
‘Choke’, the Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed.
Yan Chixia formed her sword fingers with her hands, and the vast sword energy soared into the sky.
"White Tiger Sword Style!"
The Xuanyuan Sword, which was nearly a hundred feet tall, was like a giant pillar holding up the sky, slashing straight at the huge locust tree standing in the sea of bones.
"Haha, Yan Chixia. Grandma and I are just pretending to be a draw with you for today's plan. Now that I have obtained the essence and blood of the ninth-generation boy, as long as I absorb and refine it, my demon pill can remove the impurities.
, go one step further and accumulate enough foundation for advancing to the realm of Yuanshen."
"If you know the truth, you should leave early. Otherwise, today grandma will skin you and cramp you, drain your essence and blood, and turn you into a pile of white bones. You will never be reincarnated for eternity."
"Old demon, a certain family must kill you today!"
"Huh, stubborn! Look at my magical power!"
Within the canopy of the huge locust tree, there are countless black rattans, twisted like snakes, and the overwhelming Xuanyuan Sword greets Yan Chixia.
This jet-black rattan was similar to the one he cut off with the Hutian Talisman when he first faced off against the tree demon.
But last time there was only one, this time there are countless.
'boom!'
An earth-shattering explosion sounded.
Although Yan Chixia's Xuanyuan Sword is sharp, these jet-black rattans are not only extremely tough, but also numerous in number.
He can cut off hundreds of roots, but he can't cut off thousands of them.
"Haha, Yan Chixia, you can't escape this time!"
Thousands of thick tree roots shrouded it from all directions, and the dense formation was like a rolling black wave.
Yan Chixia took a deep breath.
With a thought in his heart, a butterfly as big as the mouth of a bowl, as if carved from fine sapphire, flew out of his sleeve.
"Qingyu, prepare to merge."
The sapphire butterfly's aura flickered, as if responding.
Yan Chixia's hand gestures change.
"Control all beasts, merge the true spirits, and change!"
One person and one butterfly shine brightly and quickly merge into one.
A pair of five-foot-long butterfly wings grew out of Yan Chixia's back, and her own magic power increased several times.
This is when he meditated on the 'Original Sutra of Controlling All Beasts' given by Xu Junming. With the help of the phantom of the bronze mirror in his Dantian, his cultivation of this Sutra was second only to the way of the sword.
"Control the sword with Qi, Qinglong Sword Style!"
The Xuanyuan Sword is brilliant and the sword energy surges.
Driven by sufficient mana, the innate sword energy of the Jade Sword Butterfly, combined with the power of the Xuanyuan Sword's high-grade magic weapon, can explode in an instant with a power that is earth-shattering.
In the blink of an eye, the bright sword light was like the sun rising in the east, illuminating the entire underground space.
The vast sword energy condensed into a thousand-foot giant sword and slashed down in the air.
'Boom boom boom...!'
Endless black tree roots condensed into a dense network, tightly covering the whole body.
"Flying Phoenix Sword Style!"
"White Tiger Sword Style!"
"Dragon Sword Style!"
He unleashed the Nine Swords of Xuanyuan without any reservation, and waves of sword energy, like a great tide, overwhelmingly slashed towards the tree demon's body.
Tree roots and black vines were constantly being cut off.
The ocean of bones stirred up huge waves.
The sound inside the cave was like thunder, and large boulders were shattered and chopped down by the tyrannical sword energy and explosive energy.
After a duel, the huge tree crown of the Sophora Tree Demon shrunk by more than half.
The tree body, nearly a hundred feet thick, was crooked, and a slanted sword mark almost cut it into two pieces from top to bottom.
Yan Chixia was holding the Xuanyuan Sword and barely standing on a boulder that had fallen from the cave roof. Looking at his pale face and panting, it was obvious that he was not relaxed.
"Ahem, hehe, Yan Chixia, you are really powerful. You are only at the ninth level of the Golden Core, but you can fight like this with me who is almost at the Nascent Soul Perfection. If you wait a few more years and your cultivation level goes further, I can't say that I am really good at it.
Not your opponent."
"But now, go to hell!"
The dryad urged all the remaining vines and roots, hundreds of them, to spurt out together.
Yan Chixia saw this and was determined to fight against the enemy, but her Dantian was empty.
But as Xu Junming's disciple, of course he still has the means to save his life.
He gritted his teeth and was about to take action.
A broad hand stretched out from behind and held his shoulder.
I was shocked, and I was about to draw my sword and strike, but after feeling the familiar aura, I suddenly relaxed.
Turning around, I saw the figure standing behind me.
Yan Chixia said respectfully: "Master!"
Although Xu Junming came here with the help of Shang Situ's puppet body, his soul aura is indeed his own. Yan Chixia knew that her master was good at puppetry. When she was a disciple in Zhongzhou City last time, she saw his Guan Hongxue puppet body.
Of course I won't admit my mistake.
After patting his shoulder with a smile, Xu Junming had a flash of inspiration in his palm, and a tattered black flag appeared.
Grabbing the spiritual flag and shaking it, the world shook in an instant, the spiritual light surged, and the billowing Xuanming Qi filled the entire cave.
In just a moment, the tree demons, bones, ghosts, and the obscure aura accumulated over thousands of years in the cave were swept away.
Yan Chixia looked at everything around her, looking a little dazed.
If they hadn't experienced it personally before, no one would have imagined that this seemingly devoid of any yin energy had just been the lair of a Nascent Soul Demon!
