45 | Open the sky
"How dare you?" For the first time, a look of fear appeared on Aoki's face.
"Why don't you dare?" Pu Jia asked rhetorically.
"You are the master of a sect, how can you not know what it means to break the seal and open the path between the demon world and the human world?" Aoki couldn't help but clench his fists.
"It means a catastrophe from which there is nowhere to escape, and Kyushu will be devastated." Pu Jia said calmly.
"I will never allow you to do that. Even if you have been feathered, I will stop you, even if you fight for your life, you can't let the creatures of Kyushu fall into a dire situation, nine deaths and a lifetime. Aoki said, his gaze scanning over the other cultivators, "Fellow Daoists, would you like to join me in defending the common people of the world?" ”
Silent.
Aoki's face turned from white to red, and then from red to white, and finally stopped in a patch of red and white, becoming more and more ugly.
He twisted out a pale golden talisman from his arms, stepped in front of everyone, and looked at Pu Jia with resolute and resolute eyes, with a great momentum of a fish dying and a broken net.
Pu Jia's footsteps were light, and she slowly floated into the air.
His palm lit up with a faint blue streamer, and a slender sword suddenly appeared in front of him.
The word "Open Heaven" engraved on the sword body continued to emit golden light, reflecting the eyes of everyone present.
The divine sword opened the sky, and the demon had heard of this sword in the deep valley of Xizhou.
And at this moment, the Open Heaven Sword has been firmly held in the palm of Pu Jia's hand.
"Let me comprehend the Lingxiao Sect's talisman once again." Pu Jia's tone carried a touch of self-sacrificing bearing.
Everyone's eyes fell on Aoki's body, and they saw him slowly raise the talisman in front of him, take a deep breath, and put it down again.
Aoki retreated into the crowd with an uproar.
Sighs of disappointment came and went, but Aoki slowly closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard them.
As if she had anticipated Aoki's choice, she chuckled contemptuously and disdainfully, and slowly raised the Heaven Opening Sword above her head.
At this moment, a man who was not expected by everyone stepped forward.
Lin Yaotian gently pushed away the swimming fish, walked in front of everyone, raised his head to look at the pu jia standing in the air, silently took out a pill gourd from his arms, and poured all the pills into his palm under Hua Tang's stunned gaze.
"Don't ......," Hua Tang exclaimed, "you can't bear it." ”
Lin Yaotian didn't seem to hear it, and swallowed all the pills in his palm in one gulp.
Immediately afterward, he groaned in pain and crouched down. I saw that Lin Yaotian's body began to continuously flicker with seven-colored light, and a powerful aura began to gather around his body.
"Daddy!" You Yu exclaimed in surprise and wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by Hua Tang.
"You let go of me!"
The fish are desperately trying to break free.
Hua Tang shook his head, and that hand clenched even tighter.
Lin Yaotian slowly straightened up, his face was as white as snow, and his whole body was still trembling uncontrollably.
Pu Jia looked at him and said expressionlessly: "You are not a cultivator, if you swallow so many pills in one go, you are not afraid of exploding and dying?" ”
"I ...... It's a Kyushu ......" Lin Yaotian said intermittently, slowly taking out a scimitar from his arms, and there was a wisp of red light lingering on the knife body, which seemed to be a good magic weapon.
Lin Yaotian didn't know how to control the treasure, he just took advantage of the exhaustive strength brought by the elixir and threw the scimitar in the direction of Pujia.
The scimitar flashed a red glow in the air, and it went straight to Pu Jia's chest.
Pu Jia slowly lowered her sword and carried it behind her. It wasn't until the scimitar approached him that he swung his sword lightly and flicked the scimitar flying.
Lin Yaotian kept taking out all kinds of magic weapons from his arms, and finally even took out the space magic weapons containing these magic weapons and threw them towards Pu Jia.
Pu Jia just waved her sword with a blank face and knocked down all the magic weapons.
"You say, these magic weapons obviously can't hurt him, and he still has to take the trouble to block it with his sword, isn't this an extra move?" Xiangliu sneered and whispered.
"What do you know, that Lin Yaotian won't know that he can't hurt him?" The Xizhou Demon Emperor asked rhetorically.
"That's why these humans like to do something futile as much as they can." Xiangliu lowered his voice.
The Xizhou Demon Emperor ignored Xiang Liu, but looked at Lin Yaotian with a complicated look.
The last space magic weapon was also indifferently blocked by Pu Jia with a sword, and Lin Yaotian also used up the last bit of strength, and he was about to fall down staggeringly.
At this moment, a black mist swept towards Lin Yaotian, supporting his weak body.
Youyan stepped out of the black mist, hugged Lin Yaotian's waist from behind him with a little crampedness, and helped him to sit on the spot slowly.
"Xiaoyan, is that you?" Lin Yaotian's eyes looked vacantly in the direction of Youyan, and he trembled and stretched out his hand to touch her face.
Youyan held his hand and said angrily: "There are countless choices in life, why do you make the stupidest choice every time?" ”
As he spoke, Youyan manipulated a ghost qi to penetrate Lin Yaotian's body, covering his heart, protecting the last wisp of his vitality with a dead aura.
"Xiaoyan, is that you?" Lin Yaotian continued to repeat the question just now.
"If you want to be strong, you can't see it, even your hearing is lost, see what you do in the future." You Yan picked up Lin Yaotian's hand and gently lowered it on his cheek.
Lin Yaotian's fingertips slowly swept across Youyan's cheeks, and a touch of joy slowly welled up in his empty eyes, followed by self-blame and guilt.
"Xiao Yan, I'm sorry......" Lin Yaotian's voice gradually lowered.
"Got it." A bright color flashed in Yu Yan's eyes, and the swimming fish finally broke free from Hua Tang's hand, and rushed to Lin Yaotian's side through the crowd.
Yu Yan handed Lin Yaotian into the hands of the swimming fish, and whispered: "Take care of him, take care of yourself." ”
"Little sister...... "You Yu looked at Youyan's back and called softly.
"Sister, don't worry." Yu Yan's figure paused, and then stepped on the black cloud and rose into the air.
"Long time no see." Yu Yan chuckled.
"It's been more than a few months since the ghost valley was separated." Pu Jia Road.
"If I knew there would be today, I shouldn't have saved you at that time." Whispering.
"It's a pity that there are no ifs in everything."
"You're right." Youyan replied unhurriedly, "So, for the sake of acquaintance, I advise you to stop here." ”
The corners of Pu Jia's mouth hooked a shallow arc: "Is this your choice?" ”
"When you are born in the world, you should always make trade-offs and make choices."
"The seal was lifted, and the demon world returned to Kyushu. Although mortals will fall into a place of no return, it is not difficult for cultivators to hold on to one side until the immortal realm intervenes. What's more, after the killing, there must be a revenant, which is beneficial and harmless for ghost cultivation, so why should you make the stupidest choice? ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the righteous people in the middle of the square, all of whom tried their best to avoid his gaze, even Aoki looked silently into the distance.
Compared to the fate of the mortals in Kyushu, his hundreds of years of Taoism seem to be more important. Anyway, as Pu Jia said, when the demon world descended on Kyushu, the first to be affected were only those ordinary people. Although the Tongtian Talisman couldn't defeat Pu Jia, it was enough to protect Ling Xiaofeng for a while, enough for them to wait for reinforcements from the Immortal Realm.
"I'll admit you're right." Yu Yan nodded slightly, "However, in addition to being a ghost cultivator, I am also from Kyushu. ”
"It's your choice." Pu Jia pointed directly at the words with the opening of the sky.
As soon as you spread the fan, you will strike first. The mist condensed into a pitch-black python, opening its bloody mouth, as if to swallow it in one gulp.
Pu Jia raised the Sky Opening Sword upward, the dark blue sword light flickered, and the giant python was split in two.
The black mist dispersed to both sides, and Youyan had already attacked Pu Jia's eyes with a folding fan in his hand, and Pu Jia's footsteps were light, and he instantly swept backwards dozens of feet away.
The words did not give up, and the figure disappeared and reappeared, chasing in front of Pu Jia again.
Pu Jia glanced at Youyan coldly, and her palm lit up with a dark blue streamer. The unicorn stepped on the wind and snow, waving its sharp claws to force Youyan back again and again.
Youyan stabilized his body, folded the fan and closed it, bursting out a sky-high black light, bouncing the unicorn away.
The next moment, Pu Jia came to Youyan in an instant, and a sword pierced through her left chest.
The sword came out of the sword, and Pu Jia was still standing in place, as if nothing had happened, but the blood-colored flower that was slowly blooming on Youyan's chest was wordlessly announcing to the world everything that had happened.
"You're strong." Pu Jia said slowly, "It's only half a step away from the Feather Transformation Realm. ”
"Although it is half a step, it is also the distance between heaven and earth." Youyan smiled bitterly.
"I don't want to kill you, and I don't want you to stop what I'm going to do again." Pu Jia said, "So, whether you can survive or not depends on your creation." ”
As soon as the words fell, a faint blue streamer fell on Youyan's heart.
After a barely audible touch, she floated out softly, like a butterfly fluttering in the wind and rain.
There is no way back, and there is no distance.
The butterfly fell in the wind and rain, and her figure disappeared in the sea of clouds outside Ling Xiao Peak.
"Little sister!" Yu Yu hugged his unconscious father in his arms, and shouted in despair as he looked in the direction where the words had disappeared.
Then a faint blue light fell on the fish's shoulder, and she fell limply to the ground.
Pu Jia looked away from her and lifted Kaitian above her head for the second time.
The aura between heaven and earth surged towards the Open Heaven Sword like a hundred rivers entering the sea, pulling the sea of clouds outside Lingxiao Peak into a flocculent shape. When viewed from above, it looks like a white mansa bead blooming with the peak as its stamen.
The fierce aura continued to roll up waves of qi, blowing everyone to shake for a while.
This situation and this scene made Xiang Liu's snake eyes burn with an almost crazy heat, and he rubbed his palm, just waiting for the sword to fall.
"Master, isn't the head of Pujia our friend?" Xiu'er asked Hua Tang puzzled, "Why did he stand on Xiangliu's side and help him break the seal of the Demon Realm?" ”
"Didn't you just hear from Michito Aoki?" Hua Tang lowered his voice, "Although Pu Jia is feathered, it can't open the gate of heaven. ”
"If you can't open the gate of heaven, you can't fly to the fairy world, so he has to break the seal of the demon world, so that the fairy world has to open the gate of heaven and aid Kyushu."
"But if the seal is broken, many people in Kyushu will die in the hands of the demons." Xiu'er said, "Didn't Master always teach us that it is better to prevent problems than to save lives and help the wounded? ”
"Don't you want the teacher to stop you?" Hua Tang exclaimed.
"Master is worried that he won't be able to beat him?"
"Nonsense, isn't it." Hua Tang said, "Don't say that you are a teacher, and now you have one arm left, even if you add another arm to me, I can't beat him." ”
"But Master, Uncle Lin didn't beat him either." Xiu'er said, "There are also the whispers of the ghost valley, they can't beat him." ”
"Xiu'er, everyone has their own choice." Hua Tang said earnestly, "Some people choose to be heroes, and some people choose to live in troubled times." ”
"Then what does Master want to choose?"
"I want to live for the teacher."
"But Master, we must do something, right?"
"Xiu'er, sometimes inaction is also a kind of action, do you understand?" Hua Tang cleared his throat and continued, "Knowing that you can't do it, it's not brave, it's stupid. ”
"Then I think I'm better suited to be a fool." Xiu'er saluted respectfully towards Hua Tang, "At least the fool is worthy of his heart." ”
"Xiu'er, how can you not listen to your teacher?"
"Xiu'er has been lonely since she was a child, and she is grateful for the care of her master, preaching and teaching." After Xiu'er finished the salute, she looked directly at Hua Tang's eyes, and her immature face was engraved with a determination that did not match her age, "If the disciple is unfortunately martyred today, I hope that the master will bring my bones back to Jishitang ......."
Xiu'er paused in her tone and said softly, "That's my home." ”
When Xiu'er pushed aside everyone and stood at the front, the momentum of Pu Jia's sword was also nearing the end.
"The head of Pujia." Xiu'er shouted.
Pu Jia glanced at him with slanted eyes, just one glance made Xiu'er feel a chill from the inside out.
Xiu'er took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice from trembling: "The common people are not guilty, why did they suffer?" ”
"This matter has nothing to do with you, quickly retreat." Pu Jia scolded in a low voice.
"Since you are from Kyushu, Kyushu affairs are family affairs, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with them?" Xiu'er said stubbornly.
Pu Jia didn't want to talk to him more, and as soon as her mind moved, the unicorn rode the ice and snow towards Xiu'er.
Xiu'er didn't dodge, but continued to stare at Pujia stubbornly, and continued: "Don't forget that the head of Pujia is also from Kyushu. Kyushu is also your home! ”
