Chapter 54: Soul Arrest
The moonlight is like water, sprinkled in the quiet mountain forest.
Except for the chirping of insects, you can only hear the rustle of leaves in the wind.
However, this quiet and beautiful scene was soon shattered, and a beast the size of a calf rushed into the mountain forest, rampage, knocking down all the trees along the way, and startling a crowd of insects and birds in its path.
Ji Chen hung unhurriedly behind the badger demon to see where it was going.
He was a little curious about the remnant soul of the immortal in the badger demon's body, but he didn't directly detain the soul, because not far behind him, there was also Lan Qingxue's clone.
In this way, the two of them crossed several mountains and finally stopped under a towering ancient tree.
The branches and leaves of the ancient tree cover the sky and the sun, I am afraid that it is thousands of years old, and the trunk is thick and strong, and it takes dozens of people to hug it.
A cave was carved out of the trunk of the tree, and the badger demon burrowed into the hollow, thinking that this was its habitat.
Ji Chen went straight to the tree cave, and Lan Qingxue in the back was worried about Ji Chen's safety, so she hurriedly followed and hid at the entrance of the cave.
The inside of the tree cave was pitch black, but in Ji Chen's eyes, he could still see everything in the cave, and the space inside was very spacious, but it was also very simple and empty.
Except for the center, a boxy wooden platform was left, and the rest of the place was empty, and there was nothing left.
I saw the badger demon stand upright, take off the flying sword on his back, and place it on the wooden platform with great care, and then lie on his stomach, as if he had bowed.
Ji Chen frowned, he couldn't understand the operation of the badger demon, this was to offer the flying sword to worship?
But a broken sword, what is there to worship?
How can you say that it is also an immortal-level remnant soul, and it is a magic weapon-level flying sword to be enshrined, is it a bit cheap?
Ji Chen didn't hide his figure, so the badger demon must have seen him, but he ignored him, but when Ji Chen approached the flying sword on the wooden platform, the badger demon immediately became vigilant, baring his teeth and showing hostility.
Ji Chen didn't care, walked straight to the wooden platform, and reached out to get the flying sword.
The badger demon roared angrily and pounced towards Ji Chen.
It is a combined demon, in fact, it can use magic powers, but its soul is mutilated, its memory is damaged, and it is like an ordinary beast, and it can only fight with its body.
Facing the badger demon's minions, Ji Chen retreated and dodged.
Of course, he could slap this badger demon to death, but he knew that Lan Qingxue was peeking at the entrance of the cave, so he still couldn't show too much of it.
Lan Qingxue guessed that he was hiding his strength, and Ji Chen didn't mind showing some of his strength.
After thinking about it, he directly revealed the realm of the Transformation Period, and the momentum of the Transformation Monk was released, as if he was telling Lan Qingxue, I am the Transformation Monk and I have a showdown!
Faced with the badger demon attacking again, Ji Chen controlled his strength in the god transformation realm and had a fierce battle with the badger demon.
One person and one demon, you come and go, Ji Chen relies on endless spells to constantly bombard the badger demon, and the badger demon relies on a strong body, with rough skin and thick meat, and the spells that carry Ji Chen do not fall behind.
Lan Qingxue watched the battle secretly for a long time, and she didn't see anything wrong, it seemed that everything was very reasonable, and the battle between this person and demon should be like this.
After a fierce battle, Ji Chen finally seized an opportunity to gain the upper hand, and finally used a high-level magic weapon to kill the badger demon.
Ji Chen gasped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had been exhausted by this fierce and protracted battle.
He picked up the flying sword on the wooden platform and turned to leave.
After walking out of the tree hole, Ji Chen restored the cultivation to the foundation building period and flew towards Gongfu.
After flying for a while, he confirmed that Lan Qingxue did not follow, so he spread out his hand seal, and there was a dense cloud of light in his palm that was invisible to the naked eye, and only his divine sense could detect its existence.
The light of this light cluster was faint and dim, like a broken candle in the wind, revealing the breath of antiquity and decay, it was the remnant soul of the immortal who had taken away the badger demon.
When Ji Chen killed the badger demon, he easily detained the remnant soul.
This remnant soul is very old, it has existed for at least thousands of years, and it must have experienced the era when the immortal and demon passage was closed, and there is a lot of value to be explored.
But at the moment, he didn't have time to study it carefully, so he applied a seal to seal the remnant soul and threw it into the small world, ready to deal with it when he was free.
Not long after Ji Chen left the tree cave, Lan Qingxue appeared, entered the tree cave, and carefully observed the body of the badger demon.
Lan Qingxue pondered for a moment, but she didn't find anything abnormal in the battle between Ji Chen and the badger demon, and even after checking the badger demon's corpse, there was nothing wrong.
"Could it be that he is really just in the Transformation Stage?"
Lan Qingxue shook her head, and was about to leave, when she suddenly paused, isn't the existence of this corpse the biggest anomaly!
It's just because the idea of whether to take the badger demon corpse away just came to her mind.
The body of a demon in the merger period can be described as full of treasures, flesh and blood can be used for medicine, and muscles and bones can be refined.
Even she, a Tribulation Cultivator, was thinking about whether to bring it back, although she didn't need it herself, but the disciples and elders of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect would definitely need it.
For any Avatar Stage cultivator, the corpse of a combined demon is absolutely precious.
But Ji Chen's transformation period has abandoned this, which is very abnormal in itself.
Lan Qingxue thought about it and felt that only two explanations could make sense.
Either Ji Chen still hides his strength, and his true cultivation is far beyond the Transformation Period.
Either Ji Chen is very rich and has abundant cultivation resources, and he can't look down on the corpse of a combined demon at all.
"It seems that on the way back, I still need to test again, the demon beasts in the god transformation period are a little insufficient, and we need to increase our efforts." Lan Qingxue said secretly in her heart.
……
Ji Chen returned to Gong's Mansion and returned the flying sword to Gong Rong.
"You don't have to worry about badger attacks in the future." Ji Chendao.
Although they were already mentally prepared, from Ji Chen's mouth, whether it was Gong Rong or the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, they were all taken aback.
"Senior brother has already killed the badger demon?" Liang Chunlei couldn't believe it.
Ji Chen nodded.
A few people gasped, and the big demon in the merger period was killed like this?
"Thank you, Holy Envoy!" Gong Rong thanked him excitedly, and now his attitude towards Ji Chen was ten times more respectful than before.
Even, he took the initiative to propose: "I am tired of the Holy Envoy worrying about the affairs of my Gong family, and my Gong family has nothing to repay, and I am willing to give this flying sword to the Holy Envoy as a thank you gift." ”
Gong Rong is very smart, if he can use this flying sword in exchange for the care of a powerhouse above the Transformation God of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, it will be too worthwhile for the Gong family!
Ji Chen waved his hand: "No need." ”
This broken copper and iron, he really can't look down on it.
Li Changqing on the side saw that he was even more unhappy, he coveted the flying sword that he couldn't get, but the Gong family offered to give it to Ji Chen, and what was even more annoying was that Ji Chen didn't want it yet.
