Chapter 33: The Decisive Battle

"I was ordered by the teacher to go down the mountain to enlighten the Tao, experience the various states of life, travel the world, happened to come to Kunming, the night before to observe the sky, saw the southwest sky faintly entangled with a lingering yin resentment, so I went to investigate, who knew that the yin qi suddenly disappeared, I observed that the yin qi appeared in the sky above the D courtyard, so I stayed there for a day, the next half of the night I saw you and a few young people passing by on the road, several of them seemed to have a dark force in the body of the girl, And you and this little girl have aura fluctuations, I think you have a problem and secretly follow you, and then I received a notice from the master to know that such a serious thing happened here, and I suddenly recognized that you are the key person involved in it, and you should be the righteous and courageous Senior Brother Zhang, so I deliberately passed by you that night, and at the same time secretly left a mark on your clothes, so I will come to wish you a hand tonight. ”

Zhang Shuo and Jiang Xinyi suddenly realized, they were amazed and sighed in their hearts, and thanked them again and again, and Zhang Shuo told all the identities of Agoura, except for the three people who already knew, Zhong Wuyi, Li Ruzhi and others were all awe-inspiring.

Li Ruzhi sighed: "I can't imagine that this demon has such a relationship with my sect's Dao Ancestor Zuo Ci Immortal, I am here to help on behalf of all the Lingbao Sect Xie Zhang's junior brother." After speaking, he bowed his hand.

Zhang Shuo hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Li doesn't need to be polite, I'm just doing my duty." ”

"Amitabha." Master Mingkong smiled, "Master Zhang has the common people in the world in his heart, and he has taken it as his responsibility to uphold the right path, which is really rare." ”

Zhong Wuyi said with a smile: "A few teachers and nephews are young and promising, and the future spell world will depend on you, since the matter is over, then let's go back." Everyone agreed, and the group supported each other and walked in the direction of the mountain.

However, no one noticed that not far from the crowd, the soil in the pit suddenly cracked, and dark green flames suddenly burst out of the cracks...

Everyone was unconscious, the four seniors walked in the front, Li Ruzhi helped Xiao Qichuan to follow in small steps, Jiang Xinyi and Zhang Shuo walked at the end, talking in a low voice, suddenly, Jiang Xinyi's heart beat violently, and an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into her heart without warning, like sitting on pins and needles, and she hurriedly lost her voice: "Be careful..."

Before the words fell, a pitch-black object flew out from behind and shot directly at Zhang Shuo! Everyone had already turned around in an instant when they heard Jiang Xinyi's shout, but the unknown object was so fast that it had quietly approached Zhang Shuo before everyone could fully recover their senses, like a sharp knife shooting into his waist!

Zhang Shuo was caught off guard, his back was suddenly hit by a bullet, only to feel that countless insects suddenly poured into his internal organs and gnawed at him, his eyes were blood-red, and the heart-rending pain spread all over his body, and he fell forward with a roar, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

The sudden change stunned the others, Jiang Xinyi's face was pale, her heart seemed to stop beating, and she screamed desperately: "Zhang Shuo..."

Zhang Shuo, who struggled to pounce on the ground, took him into his arms, saw that his eyes were closed, his expression was extremely painful, he had fallen into a coma, his heart suddenly felt as painful as being cut by a knife, tears rolled and fell, and he shook him like crazy and cried: "Zhang Shuo... Zhang Shuo... Don't scare me... Wake up..."

Zhong Wuyi, Zhao Zhen, Wang Chen, and Li Ruzhi had all dodged to protect the two, while Xiao Qichuan squatted down to check Zhang Shuo's condition.

The four masters all looked ahead in disbelief, shocked in their hearts, and they all thought that they had seen it wrong!

In the big pit not far away, green flames continued to emerge at this time, a two-foot-high, human-like "monster" squatted in the flames, and then crawled out and was exposed to everyone's sight, with claws on all fours, charred black like paint, two eyes green and cold light, the face was swollen and difficult to distinguish, the skin and flesh were scaly, and the dark green pus that kept coming out of the scale armor exuded a disgusting corpse smell, and two rows of barb-like fangs were revealed when he grinned, and the saliva flowed sideways in the crimson mouth, and he laughed strangely.

"You've hurt the deity's vitality... If I don't crush your bones and scatter your ashes, it will be hard to quench the hatred in my heart..."

Zhong Wuyi, Li Ruzhi and the others widened their eyes and were shocked, and a terrible thought invariably popped up in their hearts:

"Demons!!"

It turned out that Agoura had sucked hundreds of unjust souls into his body, and used evil spells to forcibly break the seal and unseal it, touching the sealing spell and causing a catastrophe! And those unjust souls yin qi for it to resist the power of thunder for most of the day, so it was able to escape at a critical moment, at the moment when the pentagonal bronze box was broken, Agoura's primordial spirit quickly broke away and returned to the body, and the remnants of "Wu Zhiyuan" also turned into ashes, but even so, the remaining thunder and mighty qi also hit its body into serious injuries, lost hundreds of years of power, and the Tao was greatly damaged, and it was difficult to recover without hundreds of years, but even so, Agoura, who fused the body of ghosts and demons, was also more powerful than the "ghost", with the current situation, Together, all of them are far from being their opponents!

Everyone's hearts gradually sank, and they held the magic weapon in their hands tightly, now Xiao Qichuan is seriously injured, Zhang Shuo does not know whether he is alive or dead, Jiang Xinyi's soul is not kept, Master Mingkong's spiritual power has not recovered, only Zhong Wuyi, Li Ruzhi, Zhao Zhen, and Wang Chen can still have the strength to fight.

The monster raised its head and roared, and the dark green flames that were about to be extinguished in the pit suddenly exploded into a monstrous flame, engulfing the monster in it, forming a ten-meter-high "black cloud demon", the black thick smoke on its body rolled and flowed like blood, the green flames jumped, and roared at everyone, the roar was deafening, making people's heads swell and blood boiling, and they almost wanted to faint.

"Protect them, let's attack them together!!"

Zhong Wuyi took the lead in making a move, his body was as light as a swallow, and he jumped out of the air five meters high, and the "Zhong Kui Sword" in his hand buzzed and crisp, bursting out with a dazzling red light that was more than two feet long, and slashed angrily towards the demon!

"Bang" huge earthquake, the demon raised its burning giant claws to block the red sword, the two touched like a meteorite collision, the air wave agitated and spread, the explosion was loud, and the debris flew everywhere!

Seeing that he couldn't help the demon, Li Ruzhi's aura around him increased in vain, and the warm white light that emerged from the white jade ruler in his hand became brighter and brighter, and he flew into the battle, like meteors in the sky piercing the dark night, stabbing directly into the demon's chest!

Zhao Zhen and Wang Chen's aura converged on the two swords, followed Sima Ke, and crossed the left and right skills to the other party!

The sword light and sword shadow, green flame and red light within a radius of ten zhang, such as stormy waves, spring thunder blooming, dazzling, deafening.

And Jiang Xinyi was unaware of this earth-shattering battle at this time, just looked at Zhang Shuo stupidly, and didn't know what he was thinking, Master Mingkong concentrated on his pulse, his face became more and more ugly, and he tore Zhang Shuo's clothes to check the wound on his waist, it was okay not to look at it, and he couldn't help but gasp at a glance, the wound was purple and ulcerated, and black blood was coming out, and there was a pitch-black finger bone deeply embedded in the flesh, which should be on the poisonous claws of ghosts and demons.

Xiao Qichuan said in a deep voice: "Oh no, there is corpse poison on the finger bones!" ”

Jiang Xinyi's face turned pale, and she stretched out her hand to put it on Zhang Shuo's forehead, like touching a flint and a flint was extremely hot, and if she continued like this, Zhang Shuo would definitely die.

Xiao Qichuan hurriedly said: "Master, is Senior Brother Zhang still saved?" ”

Master Mingkong was taking Zhang Shuo's pulse, his expression became more and more gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "The corpse poison in Master Zhang has precipitated thousands of years of resentment, and it is difficult to find an antidote in the world, please forgive the old man for not being able to do anything..."

Xiao Qichuan exclaimed: "Then what should I do?" Watching him die? ”

Jiang Xinyi's face flashed with determination, her fingers slapped her shoulder, and she saw the little idiot staggering out and stopped next to Zhang Shuo's wound, Xiao Qichuan was surprised: "What are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Xinyi didn't answer, and took out the arc-shaped dagger from her waist, and gently cut his wound with the blade, Zhang Shuo, who was unconscious, snorted in pain, Jiang Xinyi only ignored it, and carefully picked out the finger bone.

"Huh", the black blood in the wound is cheap, Xiao Qichuan was shocked, although Master Mingkong was surprised, he was calmer than Xiao Qichuan, "Amitabha, the donor is going to..."

Jiang Xinyi didn't explain much, she bowed her head slightly at the idiot, the idiot slowly crawled to Zhang Shuo's wound, bit down, and inhaled the corpse poison in his body little by little.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xinyi suddenly knelt on one knee with her lower abdomen covered, her eyes were closed, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her forehead, and the more the little idiot sucked, the more painful Jiang Xinyi's face became.

Xiao Qichuan's heart was pounding, the "silkworm soul" is a strange Gu in the world, its own toxicity is extremely violent, and now he inhales Zhang Shuozhong's thousand-year-old corpse poison into his body, it is to fight poison with poison, and refine it with his own strange poison, but the "silkworm soul" and Jiang Xinyi have the same bloodline and life, so Jiang Xinyi can also empathize with the corpse poison inhaled by the "silkworm soul" and compete with her own toxin, and she will worry about her life if she is not careful.

Master Mingkong naturally knew what Jiang Xinyi was doing, so he let out a long sigh, chanted the scriptures, and prayed for the blessings of the two.

Jiang Xinyi's beautiful face became pale and dignified, her eyebrows were frowned, a touch of pain flashed in her wonderful eyes, she gritted her teeth to support, and she caught a glimpse of Zhang Shuo's face gradually ruddy and improved, and there were signs of sobriety, although her body was burning like a fire, there was a strange sense of relief...

..............

And Zhang Shuo in a coma, his soul seems to be too empty, I don't know how long it took, but his thoughts gradually became quiet in the muddy, indescribably serene and clear, like a sense of déjà vu from the darkness to the deepest part of his heart, and he mixed joy and sorrow, as if in another world.

He saw himself standing in the endless void, with a long corridor at his feet that stretched into the darkness of space, with no beginning or end in sight, leaning down and staring down, only the unfathomable dark abyss, as if it would be sucked in and fallen at any time, which made him feel a chill, and in an instant, a cold fear spread throughout his body, and he couldn't help but want to shout loudly.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice came to mind in the empty surroundings: "Child, you are finally here..."

Zhang Shuo turned around and scanned, but he didn't see him, and suddenly lost his voice and said, "Master, is it you?" ”

A soft white light appeared out of thin air in front of Zhang Shuo, and Zhang Shuo's body was warmed by the light, and those fears, uneasiness, and apprehension seemed to dissipate, and his heart slowly calmed down.

A kind voice came from the white light, "I just left a divine thought in your body, do you remember that the teacher told you that day, on the way to cultivate again, you will go through the catastrophe of three births and deaths?" Now it's the first time! ”

Zhang Shuo suddenly came to his senses, bowed slightly and said, "Yes, disciple remember!" Glancing around, "Why do I feel like I've been here, am I dreaming?" ”

There was a laugh in the white light: "Life is illusory, sometimes like in a dream, sometimes like a dream, what is in a dream, what is outside a dream?" ”

Zhang Shuo listened to his words seemed to have a deep meaning, chewed and tasted, but also felt that there was a kind of truth that could not be expressed, he has always been honest and kind, bold and stubborn, at this moment looking at this illusory dream-like place, he is like a drop in the ocean, and his heart can't help but feel desolate and lonely.

"Does the fact that I'm here mean I'm dead? Where is this again? ”

Bai Guang didn't answer, Zhang Shuo still wanted to ask, but suddenly felt that his body was light, his feet were like a breeze circling, his body was suspended involuntarily, and his legs slowly turned into green smoke and mist, and he was carried into the air.

Just as he was stunned, the white light said: "This is the Sumeru Illusion, located between the virtual and the real. ”

Zhang Shuo's heart was beating violently, and he became more and more puzzled, and said in his heart: "Then why am I here?" ”

When he was confused, he heard Bai Guang say lightly: "Zhang Shuo, do you know why the teacher asked you to come here?" ”

"The disciple doesn't know, please ask the master for advice."

Bai Guang smiled: "You come with me." After speaking, he flew into the sky, Zhang Shuo was stunned, but he knew that in order to get the answer, his heart moved with his thoughts, and his body also chased upward.

After flying for a while, two light sources of one red and one purple slowly appeared in front of him, and the closer he got up, the more dazzling he felt, and then the white light slowly stopped, Zhang Shuo flew to its side, squinted at the two balls of light one purple and one red not far from the sky, and said in a low voice: "What is that?" ”

"Kid, take a good look at it."

Zhang Shuo stared intently, and suddenly saw a "turbulent" sound on the two balls of light, and suddenly each erupted a raging flame, like a purple sun and a red sun, illuminating the endless dark void!

Bai Guang chuckled and said: "Child, these are the two treasures I gave you that day, because these two magic weapons are very important, your own cultivation is still shallow and difficult to control, and it is even more difficult to exert their true power, so they are sealed in your body, promising that you will unseal them to help you when the opportunity comes, do you remember?" ”

Zhang Shuo exclaimed: "Of course I remember, then now...?"

"Yes, this is the Sumeru illusion created by the master in your body, only your soul can enter, two treasures are in it, outsiders can't sense it at all, and it is also for your safety, now that the opportunity has come, the magic weapon will serve the master, remember, when your second life and death catastrophe comes, the second treasure will also be unsealed, and then it will be your real test, there is not much time, you will keep the dantian, no distractions, and prepare to accept the first magic weapon!" 、

This word hit Zhang Shuo's heart like a monstrous wave, and he was surprised, ecstatic, worried, and fearful for a while... Many flavors rolled and mixed in his chest, and he bowed deeply to the white light, and said astringently: "Master Xie, the disciple will definitely live up to the trust."

Without further words, Zhang Shuo forcibly put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, guarded the dantian, and looked directly at the two fireballs, but in a moment, the purple fireball exploded in the sky, and the purple sparks that cracked and splashed in the sky were extinguished as soon as they fell.

The firelight dissipated, and a two-foot-long blue-purple firelight stood in the air, and with a "boom", it suddenly flew towards this side, shooting towards his heart...

................

The "silkworm soul" finally sucked all the corpse poison in Zhang Shuo's body, Jiang Xinyi endured the severe pain and immediately applied ointment to his wound to stop the bleeding, Xiao Qichuan tore off a sleeve to help him hold it tightly, and the wound was magically healing quickly.

Jiang Xinyi summoned the little idiot back, so that it could continue to refine the remaining toxins, and Master Mingkong rechecked Zhang Shuo's pulse, now his pulse is stable, his breathing is even, the strange heat has receded, and there is no need to worry about his life, and he has been affirmed by Master Mingkong, Jiang Xinyi and Xiao Qichuan glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Qichuan said worriedly: "Senior Sister Jiang, how are you?" Is it better? ”

Jiang Xinyi smiled lightly and shook her head: "Senior Brother Xie Xiao cares, I'm much better..."

Master Mingkong was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud noise behind him, and he couldn't help but turn his face to look.

On the other side, the four masters have been fighting fiercely with the black cloud-like demon for a long time, although the demon is fierce, but the other party is all well-known figures in the spell world, and they all sacrifice their lives, so so far there has been no winner or loser.

However, Zhong Wuyi, Li Ruzhi and Zhao Zhen Wang Chen couldn't say it, the four of them had already used the two-wound spell when they joined the battle, and forcibly incorporated the aura of heaven and earth to stimulate their potential, which could greatly improve the Dao in a short period of time, but the longer the time dragged on, the heavier the backlash would be, and after fighting for such a long time, although this demon was also consumed, it was no longer as ferocious as it was at the beginning, and many black smoke and green flames on the body were all killed by the four people, but in comparison, the four of them suffered more loss, and they began to have a sense of backlash, and they were already faintly defeated, and if it went on like this, It won't be long before it will fail miserably, and then it will all be over!

After a few fights like this, Zhao Zhen was the first to be unable to hold the power of the counterattack, and raised his head and spewed out a mouthful of blood, the demon seized the opportunity, and the giant claws swept towards him suddenly, Wang Chen was shocked, dodged in front of Zhao Zhen, and fought with his remaining strength to block the sword, "bang", Wang Chen's blood flowed wildly, and he was shocked by the extremely strong force, and involuntarily crashed into Zhao Zhen, and the two screamed and flew out more than ten meters away.

Zhong Wuyi shouted in a lost voice: "Be careful!! When he was distracted, another giant claw suddenly grabbed him, fortunately, his path was far above everyone, "Zhong Kui Sword" sword qi was like a spirit snake spitting letters, stabbing directly into the palm of the giant claw, which was able to block this fatal blow, but unfortunately it was too hasty after all, and the remaining spiritual energy was crushed by the giant claw before it was fully condensed and formed, Zhong Wuyi trembled, swallowed all the blood that poured into the corners of his mouth, and dodged to dodge the successive attacks.

Li Ruzhi looked up to the sky and roared, holding the white jade ruler tightly with both hands, and all the spiritual energy was incorporated into it, and the white jade ruler suddenly burst out with a brilliant white light that was more than a zhang long, shooting at the demon's waist.

"Crack!"

The white light hit his waist, the demon roared in pain, turned his head and opened his mouth, and suddenly spewed out a large stream of dark purple poisonous fireworks, which continued to rush towards Li Ruzhi!

Li Ruzhi was very angry, knowing that this poisonous firework was extremely poisonous, and he would die when he touched it, so he hurriedly transported the remaining spiritual energy and laid down the enchantment in front of him, only to see that the poisonous smoke hit the enchantment and immediately dispersed, burning the ground to a large area of charred black, and the smell was unbearable.

Li Ruzhi took advantage of his strength to hide, and after landing on the ground, blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, his feet were soft, he almost fell to his knees, and stood up straight, his eyes were unwilling and angry, and many meridians were cracked under the backlash of the aura, and the fire burned the ground in severe pain, and he couldn't take a step if he wanted to fight again.
