Volume 1 The Land of Ashes Chapter 41 Expelling Evil Spirits
Chu Qingxiao's chest was dripping with blood, and the severe pain was still spreading all over his body, but his consciousness was much clearer.
There is no longer a need for Chu Zhaozhao's support to move forward.
He probably knew what was happening behind him, and he also understood that it was everyone who was desperately trying to delay time for him.
He was worried about the safety of everyone, but he didn't dare to turn back—he had to be worthy of everyone's sacrifice.
They plunged headlong into the dilapidated Taoist temple, and behind them, Wang Dagui pulled Wang Che and the extremely panicked family Ding also followed quickly.
There are ruins and broken walls everywhere in the Taoist temple, and there is a dead silence inside, and there is no figure of the old Taoist priest.
Chu Qingxiao didn't understand why Song Guicheng insisted that the old Taoist priest could solve the trouble in front of him, and he didn't understand why the candle yin true god was eyeing him, and what it meant that he seemed to be separating the spirit and flesh in his body.
But he didn't have time to think about it, and although everyone helped him hold back the large army of the Divine Guard, there were already a few guys who were like maggots on tarsal bones, always following closely behind.
"Where is the old Taoist priest?" Wang Dagui asked anxiously, his face was pale and his forehead was full of sweat, for a person of his size, this escape had already made him breath more out and less breath, and if he ran down, he himself would probably have to be exhausted to death before the bone knife of the divine guard fell.
Chu Qingxiao didn't bother to pay attention to his complaints, his eyes looked around, and soon locked on the peach tree he had seen outside the Taoist temple before.
As the only thing in this dead and silent place that has a little bit of life, Chu Qingxiao has reason to believe that such an anomaly is no coincidence.
And unlike the previous hurried glimpse in the Taoist temple, this time, he saw it more realistically.
The peach tree, which had not yet completely died, was located in the middle of a peach grove, half of its branches and leaves had completely withered, but although the remaining half showed signs of yellowing and dying, the top stubbornly stretched out a few branches and leaves, shining with green vitality.
And the most strange thing is that on the trunk of the peach tree, there is an iron rope the thickness of an adult's arm, and the iron rope is wrapped around his torso.
Like a python struggling to strangle its prey, the iron rope entangles the trunk of the tree, and some places have been strangled into the trunk, and a faint black gas overflows from the iron rope and pours into the trunk of the peach tree.
Obviously, this is the key to trapping the peach tree.
Chu Qingxiao didn't have time to think about it, and after seeing that scene clearly, he led everyone to walk towards that place quickly.
"Song Guicheng asked us to come to the Taoist priest, why did you bring us to the peach forest?" When everyone approached, they saw the scene clearly, and some people immediately complained anxiously.
Wang Dagui also looked sideways at the outside of the dry forest, and the three Eternal Night Divine Guards were already slowly walking towards it with heavy steps.
"That's right! Virtuous nephew, this is not a joke, do you know what the name of the Taoist priest is, or we shout? Wang Dagui also said at this time.
Chu Qingxiao ignored everyone, just walked straight to the peach tree, and his eyes fell on the iron cables on its trunk.
He drew the sword in his hand, and slashed at the rope with all his might.
Clang!
The blade landed on the iron rope with a muffled sound, but it left only a shallow mark on the iron cable.
Wang Che on the side also threw down his father, who was crying out for the sky and grabbing the ground in place, and also tried to cut the iron rope with the sword in his hand, but in the same way, his sword only left a mark on the iron cable.
At this time, the divine guards also found Chu Qingxiao and the others, and they were rushing towards them.
"This ...... What can I do!? Seeing this, everyone was so anxious that their faces turned pale.
"If you want to live, come and help!" Chu Qingxiao said.
At this moment, everyone was already panicking, and when they heard Chu Qingxiao's words, they didn't care what the meaning of doing this was, so they all gathered around at this time, took the sword in their hands, and exerted all their strength, facing the iron cable on the trunk of the tree is a burst of swords.
The clanging sound of striking iron was loud, but the iron rope showed no signs of being damaged.
The guards were getting closer and closer, and sweat was dripping on everyone's foreheads.
"If it goes on like this, it won't be opened at all!" Chu Zhaozhao also frowned, she simply urged the power in her body, and reached out to grab the iron cable, she has more three realms of cultivation in her body, although she can't use the sword intent because of the relationship between watching the sword and cultivating the intention, but the power that the spiritual power in the body can mobilize is not comparable to the group of guys in front of her.
She thought about using this method to see if she could destroy the iron rope directly.
But as soon as her hand touched the iron cable, her face suddenly turned pale, and the black qi overflowing from the iron rope seemed to be a beast that had found its prey, and at this moment, it actually followed Chu Zhaozhao's arm and surged towards her.
Chu Zhaozhao's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly let go of his hand and retreated.
"It's a candle!" She exclaimed.
When these words came out, Chu Qingxiao was stunned.
"What candle shady?" The people around also looked at Chu Zhaozhao a little strangely, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of the words spoken by the other party.
Wang Che suspiciously stretched out his hand to touch the iron cable, as if he wanted to verify what Chu Zhaozhao said.
Chu Qingxiao knew that Chu Zhaozhao didn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and he subconsciously wanted to stop it when he saw this.
But before the words could be spoken, Wang Che's hand had already fallen on the iron cable.
"Are you alright?" Wang Che said calmly.
"Miss Chu is not the time to joke now, among us you have a cultivated body, you better hurry up and try to see if you can break this iron cable!"
Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he saw this, and he couldn't help but think of the scene that had caused Chu Zhaozhao a lot of trouble caused by those surging evil qi in the process of descending down the wall of the underground palace before, but he turned a blind eye to Chu Yueshan and the others.
The feeling of uneasiness that had been temporarily ignored because of panic rushed to Chu Qingxiao's mind again.
He looked at Chu Zhaozhao suspiciously, but Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly lowered his head, as if he was afraid of Chu Qingxiao's gaze.
"Oops! You don't have to talk about these things anymore, no matter what evil he is, find a way to open this iron rope! Wang Dagui said anxiously, interrupting the confusion that surged in Chu Qingxiao's mind.
At this time, those Eternal Night Divine Guards had already rushed to a place only a few feet away from everyone, and they pulled out their bone knives, and their eyes erupted with scarlet blood.
Chu Qingxiao also realized the urgency of the matter.
His heart moved, and he remembered the scenes in the dungeon where the evil qi avoided him.
He didn't hesitate for a moment, and reached out to touch the iron cable.
"Be careful, the evil aura on this iron cable is several times thicker than in the dungeon!" Chu Zhaozhao reminded.
Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but glance at the other party.
When Wang Che made a move, Chu Zhaozhao did not say a word to remind her, but when she made a move, she looked worried.
Chu Qingxiao naturally didn't have the stupid idea that Chu Zhaozhao cared more about himself.
He felt ......
The girl in front of her seemed to know that this evil qi had no effect on Wang Che and the others, but threatened him.
This confusion made Chu Qingxiao's heart even more uneasy.
But the Eternal Night Guardian was getting closer and closer, but he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore.
He withdrew his gaze and touched his hand to the wire.
At that moment, he could feel his heart flutter violently, and the evil qi above the iron cable seemed to make a sizzling sound as if a fire had met a gushing spring, and then quickly overflowed from the iron rope and floated around.
This scene made everyone present stunned, but Chu Qingxiao had no intention of paying attention to this strange scene at the moment.
As his hand rested on the cable, a figure popped into his mind.
At that moment, everything around him was diluted, and he seemed to be in another world, an old man with kind eyes and a crooked back was standing in front of him.
He was dressed in a dirty robe, with gray hair and a slightly thin figure.
"Kid, you're finally here." He looked at Chu Qingxiao and said.
"Are you...... The old Taoist priest of Xuandu Temple. Chu Qingxiao also looked at the other party, and the figure of the other party overlapped with the vague image of the Taoist priest in his mind.
"There's not that much time, kid."
"This is the last chance." The old man said.
Although it was urgent, there was no urgency in the tone.
On the contrary, it is like the elders are following their own children.
"The Candle Yin Divine Blood in your body was sealed in by me in desperation, and it was this move that made Wuling City fall into purgatory."
"Over the years, the candle yin people have tried their best to take out the things in your body, and now that the seal has been loosened, the candle yin true god has also felt this, and only then has he woken up from his slumber."
"You've got to stop him, I know, it's going to be difficult for you, but ......"
"Only you can do it." The old man continued.
"What should I do?" Chu Qingxiao asked in confusion.
"Although the shackles that imprisoned me have been lifted, the remaining divine power I have is about to be exhausted, and I cannot maintain this god-like ......"
"I will use my remaining strength to open the barrier, temporarily banish the evil spirits, and then use the last time to strengthen the seal for you."
"Kid ......"
"And there's only one thing you need to do......"
"Make that decision you've never dared to make......"
"Decided?" Chu Qingxiao was a little confused, but before he could explain this question, the old man's body in front of him slowly dispersed.
"Wait!" Chu Qingxiao shouted at the other party.
But when the words fell, he had already returned to the peach tree, and the frightened cries of everyone around him, and the roar of the divine guard resounded in his ears.
Chu Qingxiao came back to his senses, he looked at the iron rope above the peach tree in front of him, and as the evil qi was dispelled, the iron rope suddenly became rusty.
The divine guard had already been killed, Chu Qingxiao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the iron cable on the trunk at this time, and pulled it hard.
The iron cable, which was still as solid as a rock, was suddenly broken.
The branches and leaves of the peach tree in front of him suddenly trembled, and a warm breath spread, and at the same time, the red enchantment lit up from the top of the tree and spread out in all directions.
The barrier formed a wall of light with red streamers, and those divine guards who rushed to the front touched the wall of light, and immediately let out a painful wail from their mouths, and their blood-red eyes showed a look of fear, and at this time, they all withdrew outside the wall of light of the enchantment.
They held bone knives and roared angrily at Chu Qingxiao, but they no longer had the courage to rush into it.
Chu Qingxiao, who saw this situation, was overjoyed, at least this proved that the old Taoist priest in the illusion did not deceive him.
"It's okay, we'll be able to solve this problem right away......" he said excitedly, looking at the crowd around him.
But the words came to an abrupt end in the middle of the sentence.
Wang Che and the others did not have the slightest joy on their faces at the moment, their faces were pale, their bodies seemed to be burned by fire, and their bodies couldn't help but make a soft sound, accompanied by bursts of green smoke.
They seemed unable to bear the pain, and one by one they fell to the ground, their mouths wailing in pain......
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Qingxiao's pupils dilated suddenly.
He remembered what the old Taoist priest had just said......
"I will use my remaining strength to open the barrier and temporarily banish the evil spirits from ......"
"Banish the Evil Spirit ......"
