Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Battle Between Lightning and Fire

Hearing the tree demon's words, Gu Xu involuntarily turned his head and glanced at Shi Xiaohan beside him.

"I'm fine, Xiao Han," he smiled faintly, "This dryad is just a wisp of soul, not the main body. It wanted to hurt me, but it wasn't that easy. ”

"Hmph, I'm not worried about your safety," Shi Xiaohan crossed his waist and said, "I'm just afraid that you will take this monster in one move like before, so that this woman will not even have a chance to show her skills." ”

The dryad sneered and interjected, "Heh, what a little girl who loves to lie! The thought in your head is clear, 'It's great that he's not hurt.'" ”

Shi Xiaohan immediately shook his head and denied: "Dead monsters, don't talk nonsense!" With your strength, you don't deserve to make me feel 'worried'! ”

With that, she pulled out the "Kunwu Knife" from her back, preparing to use the "Overlord Knife Technique" to slash at the tree demon.

But Gu Xu stopped her move.

"The split soul of this dryad was summoned by the group of people next to us during the 'Dancing God' ceremony. It now occupies the body of a civilian woman," Gu Xu briefly explained the situation in front of him to Shi Xiaohan, "In the program of our Exorcism Division, saving people is the first priority. We should try to save this woman's life as much as we can. ”

"I listen to you." Shi Xiaohan nodded and put down the knife in his hand.

Then she looked at the locust tree dryad.

I saw dark brown branches crisscrossing each other.

Fragmented flesh coiled in between.

And among the lush green leaves, you can also faintly glimpse the faces of humans.

A pair of black holey eyes were hidden under the delicate white petals, staring at everyone present with a hungry and fierce gaze.

Although Shi Xiaohan has participated in many ghost killing missions, he has seen all kinds of hideous and terrifying ghosts.

But the locust tree demon in front of her, whose plant branches were mixed with human flesh and blood, still made her feel a strong sense of discomfort physiologically.

At this moment, Gu Xu made a move.

Once again, he cast the "Eclipse" spell, and from the level of the divine soul, he launched a stormy attack on the locust tree demon.

In an instant, the light in his eyes turned black, like midnight without the moon and stars.

Although Gu Xu was only a cultivator who had just entered the second realm now.

But under the hard tempering day and night, the strength of his divine soul has approached that of the Fourth Realm cultivator.

Even though this tree demon body was an "evil spirit" level ghost, what appeared in front of Gu Xu at this time was just a wisp of its split soul.

You must know that when he first participated in the assessment in the illusion of the "Old Pot", even the "Dream Eater Tapir", who was proficient in divine consciousness spells, failed to defeat Gu Xu in the hard-fought divine consciousness confrontation.

This half-hung tree demon is even more unlikely to be Gu Xu's opponent.

So in an instant, the Dryad Split Soul was defeated and retreated one after another, and under Gu Xu's repeated attacks, it had the potential to disintegrate and disperse!

"This monk looks so young, how can he have such a strong divine soul power? Could it be that he is a strong man who hides his identity and strength? ”

The dryad was incredible.

If the situation is not right, retreat immediately!

Although the Locust Tree Dryad wanted to take advantage of today's rare opportunity to obtain a body that could move freely and turn all these stupid mortals around him into food for himself, now that he had hit a hard bone that was difficult to gnaw, it was still important to protect himself.

Condensing a wisp of split soul is not an easy thing for it.

If this wisp of soul is lost, the strength of its body will also be damaged to a certain extent.

So, in this life-or-death moment, it decided to follow its inner instincts.

"Monk, spare your life!" Without thinking, the locust tree demon shouted, "Don't kill me! I'm leaving this woman's body! ”

As soon as the words fell, it turned into a plume of black smoke and floated out of the young woman's body, trying to flee into the distance, fleeing back to its own body.

…………

It all happened in the midst of lightning.

In the onlooker's field of vision, only Gu Xu and the dryad could be seen staring at each other.

The former has a calm gaze and is calm.

The latter was aggressive at first, but after a moment the momentum in his eyes withered, and he even began to wail and beg for mercy.

"Is this what the Exorcist Monk is capable of?" Everyone present couldn't help but sigh, "It's really as powerful as the rumors!" ”

Because Gu Xu looks too young, and his body is not strong.

Everyone was originally worried about whether this young man from the Exorcism Division would suffer in the confrontation with the evil spirits.

But they never expected that Gu Xu would defeat this arrogant locust tree monster in less than two breaths.

It's just horrible!

…………

"This dryad is really capable of bending and stretching!" The corners of Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "It is worthy of being an 'evil spirit' level ghost with wisdom, and it is different from those wandering ghosts without brains. ”

But he wasn't going to sit idly by and watch the dryad's distraction slip away.

After all, this wisp of soul is worth three hundred meritorious deeds!

Only by completely destroying this wisp of soul could the "Everbright Pill" he used for cultivation in the next few days be settled.

So, he instantly predicted the direction in which the dryad's soul fled, and used the "Meteor Moon" method to chase after it at a lightning speed.

Gu Xu had read in books that there were three ways to completely destroy the soul of a ghost, namely: the monk's True Yuan Fire, a metal with a fiery sun attribute, and a special sigil that could borrow the power of the sun, moon and stars.

Although the third-generation "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Slaying Talisman" is very lethal, it requires chanting a spell when using it - this Dryad Split Soul slipped away too fast, and it was obviously too late to use it.

"It seems that you can take this opportunity to try the power of the Red Flame True Technique!"

Gu Xu thought as he condensed the true element in his body into the palm of his hand.

Then, like a mosquito, he slapped the black soul lightly.

Zilazila.

It's as if a mosquito has been baked by an electric mosquito swatter.

Before the soul could let out a scream, it dissipated in an instant.

No trace was left.

And the young woman, at this moment, also faded from the characteristics of the plant, and returned to the original appearance of human beings.

She lay on the ground, unconscious.

Just now, Gu Xu and the evil ghost were engaged in a divine and soul confrontation in her consciousness world.

This kind of thing is still a little unbearable for her as a fragile mortal after all.

As for Shi Xiaohan, he stood aside and was stunned.

She had already taken out the "Kunwu Knife" and was always ready to join the battle and show her majesty in front of Gu Xu.

However, before she could make a move, the evil ghost was easily killed by Gu Xu.

This left her with mixed feelings.

She felt that she came to Xunliu Street today purely to go shopping and watch plays.

As if an outsider.

There is no experience to speak of.
