Chapter IX: Elimination
After Tang Yi and his party left, Jiong Yan smiled lightly and prepared to go to bed. Xiao Ze didn't feel sleepy, and looked back and forth around Jiong Yan.
"It's been a long time late, and you still don't want to rest?" Jiong Yan asked with a shake of his robe.
"Judging from the mana revealed by the spirit rune just now, Tang Yi's cultivation should be able to detect the demonic energy on your body, but why not? Don't you want to explain something? Xiao Ze stared at Jiong Yan meaningfully.
Jiong Yan smiled, knowing that Xiao Ze would ask this question. Then he said slowly: "Actually, there is nothing, mainly this thing." Jiong Yan took out a sachet from his body. Xiao Ze turned the sachet over and over again, looked at it, touched it and touched it, and didn't notice any difference from other sachets.
"You sniff." Jiong Yan was puzzled when he saw him, and pretended to remind him mysteriously. Xiao Ze quickly put the sachet close to his nose and smelled it, and the sachet wafted out a strange smell, which he had never smelled before.
"What kind of floral fragrance is this? Didn't smell it. Don't sell it! Xiao Ze was so curious that he patted Jiong Yan on the shoulder.
Jiong Yan took the sachet and put it in his hand, and said, "There is nothing special about this sachet, the key is the smell emitted by the sachet. This smell is not the smell of ordinary things, but the ...... of people" Halfway through his words, Jiong Yan smiled and said nothing, pretending to look at Xiao Ze mysteriously.
Xiao Ze listened attentively, but Jiong Yan only smiled silently, and looked at him mysteriously. Driven by curiosity, Xiao Ze was so anxious that he kept shaking Jiong Yan's shoulders and shouted, "Oops! Tell you not to sell it, you're really energetic. Say it! There was a hint of pleading in his tone.
Jiong Yan looked at Xiao Ze so anxious that his facial features were deformed, and deliberately said slowly: This fragrance is the body odor of people. I used spells to collect all kinds of body odors on people......"
"Oh, I see. You use spells to collect these body odors into sachets, and use human body odors to cover up the demonic energy on your body. Right! Xiao Ze suddenly realized. Secretly admired Jiong Yan's cleverness.
"Plus, before they came in, I ordered a plate of sandalwood, and the smell of sandalwood also helped to hide the demonic energy, so he didn't notice the demonic energy on me." After Jiong Yan finished speaking, he yawned, "Go and rest, you still have to go to work tomorrow morning." ”
"It seems that I have not misjudged you, you are indeed not human. Demons! Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the door.
Jiong Yan and Xiao Ze were shocked. Xiao Ze looked at where the voice came from, Tang Yi was holding a short sword in his hand, and his eyes were staring straight at them.
"The nephew of the dignified Lord Tang is a gentleman on the beam and eavesdrops on other people's conversations." Xiao Ze shouted in his heart that something was wrong, and Jiong Yan's identity was exposed. Even if he knew in his heart that Jiong Yan's mana was strong, it would be difficult for ordinary people to hurt him. But he still secretly sweated for his friend.
"I'm not eavesdropping on the conversation between the "human", but the conversation between the human and the demon. Tang Yi deliberately stretched the pronunciation of "demon" very long.
"So you admit that you eavesdropped, didn't Tang Gongzi's parents teach you that stealing is shameful? If you eavesdrop today, will you steal tomorrow? Culprits! Xiao Ze pointed at Tang Yi and said sarcastically.
"You! Hum! When Tang Yi heard it, he was scolding him for his bad family style. Angry, the hand holding the short sword kept trembling, his eyes were on fire, he glared at Xiao Zejiongyan and the others, and shouted through gritted teeth: "This son is too lazy to bother with you. He pulled out the short sword on his body, pointed at Jiong Yan angrily and roared: "Demon, you have harmed a lot of people in the past few days, today I will do the right thing for heaven and let you pay for the lives of those people who were killed by you!" Suffer death! As soon as the words landed, he took the sword and stabbed at Jiong Yan with a body of anger.
Jiong Yan quickly opened his right hand, and a crystal clear jade flute suddenly appeared in his hand, and when the sword stabbed at him, "Dang" used the jade flute to block it vigorously. One turned, disappearing into the red light.
"If you want to run, no way!" "Huh" Tang Yi cast a spell and chased after him, and Xiao Ze also cast a spell and followed.
Jiong Yan came to the river, the river breeze slightly supported his clothes, and his white and slender fingers jumped happily on the flute hole, and the sound of the flute drifted around. The fish in the water were also attracted by the sound of the flute, and they poked their heads out of the water, their mouths open and closed, as if they were praising the sound of the flute. The small branches around him also nodded frequently with the sound of the flute.
Tang Yi also quickly chased after him at this time, and the melodious flute sound also slowly immersed into his body, making every nerve cell of his ripple in the flute, and his internal organs felt extremely comfortable. Tang Yi was fascinated when he heard it, and his whole thoughts drifted into the distance with the sound of the flute, and he forgot the purpose of his follow.
"Archmage, am I blowing well? Are we still fighting? The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Jiong Yan put down the jade flute, and looked at Tang Yi.
This question brought Tang Yi back to his senses, "Don't talk nonsense, I will get rid of you today!" Tang Yi's tone was tough.
Jiong Yan knew that no matter whether he was the real murderer of these murders or not, Tang Yi would not let him go. He is the king of the eight eating scales—he is determined to subdue himself. And calmly looked around, and said: "This riverside, the place is wide, suitable for fighting, what means does the son have to use it." Jiong Yan's tone was not anxious, not dry, and not afraid.
"Hmph, look at the move!" Tang Yi used spells to control the short sword, the short sword emitted a golden light floating in the air, with the rotation of Tang Yi's fingers, a short sword "swish" generated countless short swords, and the sword body emitted a dazzling golden light, and rushed towards Jiong Yan in a row, rushing to Jiong Yan's face menacingly, and the swords that were suddenly lined up quickly separated, forming a circular golden cage, covering Jiong Yan in the middle.
Tang Yi's middle and index fingers of both hands merged, and then his arms were bent and crossed inwards his chest. The surrounding short swords are all fighting for light at this time, giving full play to their own light, and the river surface is reflected by the golden light emitted by the short sword, and the bright hall can be seen that the fish are swimming leisurely on the river surface. Because the light was too strong, Jiong Yan also had to use his sleeves to block it.
At this time, Tang Yi had words in his mouth, and after he finished reading, his crossed arms suddenly opened forward, and all the sword bodies rang out in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth, and stabbing towards Jiong Yan in unison.
"呲呲呲"
The sword body was inserted horizontally into Jiong Yan's body. Jiong Yan had a short sword stuck all over his body, like a hedgehog covered in thorns.
"Ahh Jiongyan. Xiao Ze saw this scene as soon as he arrived, screamed and pounced.
Tang Yi saw that Jiong Yan's whole body fell to the ground with a sword, and he "snorted" from his nostrils, very proud. Stand still and start casting a spell to combine countless short swords into one, causing them to slowly fly back into your hands. When the short sword was only an arm's length from him, Tang Yi reached out to take it. The short sword suddenly emitted a white light, stabbing at him with murderous aura, Tang Yi was startled, quickly somersaulted sideways, and after landing and standing firmly, he saw a strand of hair sliding from the corner of his eye from his right shoulder. Tang Yi was secretly shocked in his heart, this was someone who controlled his weapon. Without allowing him to think too much, the dagger came from behind him again. Tang Yi took out a talisman from his waist and threw it at the short sword, the thrown talisman touched the sword body of the short sword, instantly turned into a golden belt, and wrapped the short sword tightly, and firmly fixed the short sword in the air, making it immobile. Taking this opportunity, Tang Yi looked around, trying to find out who was casting the spell. He saw Xiao Ze's right hand glowing with white light, and understood that the short sword was controlled by him.
Tang Yi immediately injected mana into the short sword, regained control of the short sword, and let it fly into his hands. He was about to put away his dagger.
"Hey, Master Tang, what do you think you're holding in your hand?" Xiao Ze shouted at him in the distance. He subconsciously looked down, and the short sword he held in his hand turned into a snake at some point! The snake was coming at him with its bloody mouth wide open! He was so shocked that he threw it out of instinct.
"You don't want it, I'll take it." Xiao Ze immediately caught the "snake" that was thrown out by Xiao Ze. watched Xiao Ze holding the "snake" and kept stroking. Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something. Immediately drew a talisman in the air, waved the index finger of his left hand, and shouted "break", the scene in front of him became more and more blurred. He fixed his eyes again, the "snake" that Xiao Ze touched was actually his short sword, and then looked at the place where Jiong Yan fell to the ground, how could there be a figure of Jiong Yan falling, only a wooden stake stood there.
"Archmage, your "one-man show" just now was fantastic! Jiong Yan stood intact in front of Tang Yi and jokingly.
Tang Yi immediately understood that everything that happened just now was an illusion, and he had unknowingly fallen for the illusion.
"When did you cast the illusion?" Jiong Yanke never made a move, but he was inexplicably hit by the illusion, and Tang Yi was puzzled. Although he was teased, he was not angry at all, but wanted to understand more.
"Archmage, do you remember the sandalwood you smelled when you broke through my door? I cast a little illusion on sandalwood. The illusion was triggered by the time I played the flute. Jiong Yan put his left hand behind his back, and pointed at Tang Yi with a crystal clear jade flute in his right hand.
Tang Yi suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that when I entered your door, I was on the way. ”
"I can see from the talismans you have drawn that your mana is profound. Although the scent in the sachet can help me temporarily cover up the demonic energy on my body, with your ability, it will soon be recognized by you. In order not to cause unnecessary fighting, I used some means. If you leave just like that, after an hour, the illusion will be invalidated. But you just killed a horse pistol, and I was forced to do it. ”
Every sentence that Jiong Yan spat out was like an iron needle, and the needle pierced every nerve of Tang Yi. Tang Yi's face turned red, and he felt that he was being posed by the demon, which was very embarrassing, but he was also a little unconvinced. At the same time, he secretly felt that Jiong Yan, a demon, did not take the opportunity to take his life when he was in the illusion, and as a demon, what he did was not unfair. A hint of admiration arises spontaneously.
"Hey, Childe, you misunderstood, although my friend is a demon, he is really not the real murderer of these murders. We've never killed anyone in this town. Xiao Ze saw that Tang Yi's face softened, so he immediately defended Jiong Yan.
"Are you really the real murderer?" Tang Yi looked at the person and demon in front of him, their eyes were full of kindness, and when they fought with the two of them, the two of them showed mercy everywhere, Tang Yi's idea that Jiong Yan was the real murderer was also a little shaken.
"If we are the real murderers, we will kill you when you are in the illusion. But you're alive and well now. Isn't that proof? Tang Yi listened to Xiao Ze's words, and nodded involuntarily, feeling that this was reasonable. The murderer should have something else.
Tang Yi thought about it, although Jiong Yan was not the culprit of these murders, he was a demon after all. His master had warned him that as long as it was a demon, it must be eliminated. He wanted to do it again, but the person in front of him had a strong mana, and if they joined forces, it was impossible to say who would get rid of whom. After thinking about it again and again, I thought that I couldn't do it again today.
"Two, I'm sorry, I didn't find out, I wronged the two, I'm really sorry." Tang Yi hugged his fists and apologized to the two.
"It's okay, as long as the archmage believes in us."
"Those who don't know are not guilty." Jiong Yan and Xiao Ze had already seen Tang Yi apologize. They themselves will not be unforgiving, and they smile to show their understanding and forgiveness for him. Xiao Ze also returned the dagger to him. The three cleared up the misunderstanding. I was about to go home together.
"Be careful." Hearing Jiong Yan shout, he rushed over with an arrow and pushed Tang Yi away vigorously. Tang Yi was shocked, and after stabilizing his body, he looked up and saw that there were unknown objects that were shining brightly and rushing towards the three of them respectively.
