Chapter 401 Yan Chixia

The dusk was deep, like a surging dark beast with its mouth wide open to pour out water.

In the dim light of the forest, countless vines swarmed in again!

Song Ren squatted down in advance, and suddenly stepped on his tiptoes, plowing the grass and the ground deeply into a large area of ​​mud!

The entire figure has been wrapped in the black mist of the descending gods, and slightly flickering arcs of blue light dot the whole body.

Then, he was like an arrow shot from a bow!

In an instant, the knife light flipped!
The sharp blade cut through the most eye-catching and thick vines!
Follow the clues to find the source!
Song Ren's pupils were as sharp as an eagle's, and he instantly captured the source of countless vines.

The body is like a rainbow!

The shiny blade suddenly pierced through a huge locust tree behind!
The tree demon grandma, who had just moved away from the underground roots at the last second, felt a moment of lingering fear in her heart.

At that moment just now, the other party was running too fast and his eyes were so bright!

Especially when the Swallowing Blade pierced through cleanly and neatly, the tree demon grandma almost clearly saw the dark pupils on the opponent's face that were cold, hard, and bloodthirsty without any hesitation.

It chose to hide again behind a big tree farther away.

Using the clones formed by a large number of trees, after hiding the palpitations for a moment, they immediately let out an extremely angry roar from a man and a woman:
"Stinky Taoist!"

"You are simply too deceptive!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Hiding behind the dark tree, the tree demon immediately showed her power in the shadows.

Its thousand years of experience is certainly not to be underestimated!
The tree demon mobilized his own energy and began to use magic on a large scale!
The ultimate devil world!

In the wilderness, a torrential rain suddenly rose up!
For a moment, there was a strong wind and thunder, with lightning and thunder!
The fierce rain curtain was like countless bullets, and like a tide, it rolled towards Song Ren's direction.

During this time, there were also brilliant golden thunders in the sky, which kept falling down!
There was a hint of hostility lingering around Song Ren's brows, and his pupils were as sharp as knives.

He was not afraid of the tree demon showing her power; instead, he was worried that she would not show her power!

Whenever you make a move, there will be traces!
Facing the overwhelming rain.

Song Ren held up his sword and bent down deeply like a tiger or leopard.

Then suddenly, he rushed forward to kill!

After the heavy rain fell, it only landed on the last bit of afterimage.

In the air, several golden lightning bolts blew the ground and rocks into pieces, but they also failed to hit the black shadow that was rushing at high speed.

The tree demon's eyes turned red.

The horrific shot from before had already ruined decades of his cultivation.

The magic now being used with full force is of extraordinary power.

Especially the golden lightning, which was released after it consumed some of its own energy.

This move of its appeared in the third part of A Chinese Ghost Story.

The tree demon grandma once used this trick to severely injure the old monk Baiyun Zen Master.

But Song Ren is not Zen Master Baiyun, nor does he have the Golden Buddha Dharma weapon, so he naturally would not choose to withstand the golden thunder head-on.

Even though the magic is extremely powerful, the prerequisite is that it has to hit the target.

What's more, thunder magic is the most difficult to control.

Zen Master Baiyun wanted to use the power of the golden Buddha to block the golden thunder.

So he just took it on by remaining unchanged in the face of all changes and standing still in the same place.

But he didn't expect that Monk Shifang had betrayed his master, and the golden Buddha was broken into pieces, which caused him to suffer serious injuries.

But Song Ren never likes to be passive.

Instead of passively choosing to defend, he prefers the ultimate offensive method.

Therefore, when he started, he sprinted with all his strength in one breath.

The body was surrounded by black mist of divine power, and the surface was covered with a layer of faint electric arc light.

Sprinting at full speed, he looked like a ghost!

In the pitch-black jungle, a long and thin arc of lightning was pulled out and turned back forward.

During the action, Song Ren's pupils were still moving left and right, and his sharp eyes continued to pursue the core location of the magic.

As long as you take action, there will be traces!
Song Ren was almost flying above the ground, his figure shuttling back and forth, and his pair of black and clear pupils suddenly lit up.

found it--

There it is!

laugh!
A slight breeze blew by, and Song Ren pierced through like lightning!

The tree demon grandma became more and more shocked.

Speed ​​is not its advantage, and now it can hardly catch sight of Song Ren.

Its expression changed again and again, and finally it got ruthless, gritted its teeth, consumed a large amount of essence, and suddenly mobilized its thousand-year-old Taoism.

The power of heaven and earth is revealed, and the cycle continues!
boom!
Along with the fierce rain curtain all over the sky, the originally flashing golden thunder suddenly exploded in the next moment, and more dense and dazzling lightning fell from the sky.

If the precision is not enough, make up for it with quantity!
The golden thunder flashed and roared, tearing the dark sky apart!
The spreading lightning completely annihilated a large area of ​​the vast wilderness!

In the vast ocean that seemed to be blooming with golden light, there was still a faint arc of blue light, still moving freely and turning.

A shadow flashed by!

The golden thunders were dense and violent, and one of them was unavoidable.

Song Ren only had time to turn his face slightly.

The extremely destructive golden thunder was like an unparalleled sharp blade.

A tiny bloody scratch was cut on the side of his face, and the scarlet blood spurting out from it was still splashing backwards, but Song Ren remained calm and leaped through the endless lightning!

The tree demon grandma is still hiding behind the tree and performing magic.

The golden light blooming in the sky ahead has completely covered the field of vision, and no other traces can be seen.

At this moment, the face of the tree demon was as wrinkled as the bark of a dead tree, but when it bared its teeth, it showed a hint of excitement:
"Damn Taoist priest, you're not going to die completely this time!"

But the feeling of pride has just begun to emerge.

Just a few feet away, a faint arc of blue light suddenly flashed through the golden light!

The tree demon grandma’s pupils suddenly widened!

damn it!
This didn't kill him?!
The next moment, its body suddenly began to turn into dead wood.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a blade surrounded by black energy, which instantly magnified countless times in his pupils!
In a breath, the tree demon grandma could clearly see the suddenly bulging blue veins on the back of Song Ren's knife-holding hand.

boom! ! !
The huge locust tree between the two phases was easily pierced through!
Immediately afterwards, the tree demon who was hiding behind was also stabbed through the heart by the sword light that broke through the barrier!

The shiny tip of the knife protruded from the spine.

The blood-enchanted swallowing blade completely nailed the tree monster there!
The tree demon grandma turned into a human shape, with dead branches intertwined and entwined together.

The tree demon grandma, who had consumed a large part of her energy to escape, had now taken refuge underground.

With the help of the huge rhizome and the clone of the locust tree, it roared helplessly in the surroundings with a mixed tone of male and female yin and yang:

"Stinky Taoist!"

"I have no grudge against you, but you have ruined my practice and damaged my essence. I will remember this grudge!"

"Grandma, I will definitely come back!"

Song Ren frowned when he heard this.

He drew his sword with a calm expression on his face.

The tiny bloody wound on his face has completely healed.

Looking back at the place that was gradually falling into silence, I still felt a little resentful in my heart.

The tree demon who had practiced Taoism for a thousand years was more troublesome than he had expected.

It's not that I can't defeat it, but it's a little difficult to kill it completely...

He had seized the opportunity that had just come at a moment's notice quite accurately.

But even so, the other party still escaped.

In this area, there are too many clones that the tree demon can borrow, and they are standing in the wilderness.

If you fail to kill with one strike, the opponent will always be able to use up his spiritual power or energy to escape.

Song Ren wasn't sure how many times the tree demon could escape, so this was not a solution.

We can't just burn down the whole area. Not to mention that doing so would cause too much harm to some nearby counties.

Whether it can burn or not is probably a mystery.

Song Ren organized his thoughts a little, then turned around, temporarily giving up the pursuit and looking at the only tiger-headed man left in the field.

It seemed like this kid was watching the show the whole time. He must have enjoyed it very much.

The tiger demon seemed a little numb at this moment.

He had a chance to escape before, but because of greed, he wanted to try and see if he could reap the benefits.

As a result, the fisherman didn't get the seat yet, and it was too late to run away even if he wanted to.

Being stared at by Song Ren, it felt a little scared and said hurriedly: "Sir, please listen to my argument first!"

Song Ren's eyes twitched: ...How brave!
The tiger demon was sweating profusely: "No, listen to my explanation!"

"In the situation just now, I, Xiaoyao, couldn't intervene at all."

"I am also worried. If I rush over rashly, not only will I be unable to help, but I will also hinder you, sir. Wouldn't that be a disservice to you, sir?"

Song Ren: "What about the two lonely ghosts just now?"

Earlier, Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing had both escaped when Song Ren was fighting with the tree demon grandma.

Song Ren didn't have time to be distracted.

But the tiger demon obviously focused his attention on him and the tree demon grandma the whole time, ready to reap the benefits at any time, so naturally he had no time to pay attention to other things.

Song Ren had already disassembled the long sword and collected it all.

At the same time, he walked towards the tiger demon and said, "Little cat, let me help you stretch your muscles."

The tiger demon smiled awkwardly: "No, that's not necessary."

Song Ren: "Hmm~?"

The tiger demon cried: "Uh, okay, please be merciful, sir."

……

When the full moon is high

The tiger demon had already transformed into a human form with a bruised face and nose. It followed Song Ren and said in a servile manner, "Sir, where are we going next?"

Song Ren: "Until we deal with that thousand-year-old tree demon, we won't go anywhere for now. We'll just settle down here."

The tree demon grandma had already taken root in the Lanruo Temple area.

The thousand-year-old tree demon is naturally a big tree with deep roots.

It will be difficult for the other party to escape easily.

If we kill them a few more times, we should be able to completely destroy the enemy.

Moreover, he planned to ask Yan Chixia for advice.

After the tree demon escaped underground, Song Ren's many methods were useless, and he didn't know whether he could get anything from Yan Chixia.

Lanruo Temple is located in the heart of this wilderness.

This was originally an ancient temple, and it has been abandoned for who knows how many years.

During the period of time in the movie story, Yan Chixia lived in seclusion in Lanruo Temple.

I only go to the county town occasionally to buy some food or drinks.

The previous fight between Song Ren and the tree demon grandma caused such a big commotion, but Yan Chixia never showed up, which was because the two sides happened to be at different times.

He went to Guobei County to buy some wine.

When Song Ren and the tiger demon arrived at Lanruo Temple, except for the places covered by moonlight, every corner of the ancient temple was filled with large areas of darkness.

The ancient temple is eerie, dilapidated, dark, and even a little dirty.

This Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for too long.

Even though Yan Chixia came here to escape the world and live in seclusion, he was not the one who liked to clean, so this place was always dirty and messy.

Even as a gust of wind blew through the ancient temple, you could hear strange sounds like ghosts crying coming from the collapsed corners of the walls and the cracks in the houses.

The tiger demon touched the temple stele that had fallen to the ground, sniffed and said, "My lord, this is a little strange. I smell a faint stench of corpse from here."

Song Ren: "With your nose, it's a shame you don't become a dog."

In the movie, there are quite a few mummies and monsters in Lanruo Temple.

Those were the men who were lured by lonely souls like Nie Xiaoqian, and then had their essence devoured by the tree demon, and then died here.

Those mummy monsters move slowly, have average strength, and are very afraid of sunlight.

It can be said that apart from bullying Ning Caichen in the movie version, there is basically no greater threat.

Because the mummies were too weak and their demonic energy was too weak, even Yan Chixia, who lived here, did not notice that almost all of the mummies in Lanruo Temple had turned into monsters.

From this we can see that the taste of those things is definitely not obvious.

As soon as the tiger demon came in, he was able to smell it in advance. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a dog's nose.

……

Song Ren had a very strong night vision, but out of habit, he still took out the high-intensity solar flashlight that he had prepared in advance.

Turn on the flashlight.

The tiger demon was startled by the sudden beam of light and screamed, "Wow, my lord, my lord, what is this?!"

Song Ren was too lazy to explain to it, so he found a cleaner room among the guest rooms in the ancient temple and planned to rest here for the night.

I’ll talk about other things when I meet Yan Chixia again.

However, if you want to have a good rest in Lanruo Temple, you must clean up the mummies in the upper and lower attics.

Otherwise, if those things crawl on you in the middle of the night, it would be disgusting even if they don't pose any threat.

As for such trivial matters, he naturally didn't need to worry about it himself. The tiger demon was free and practical labor.

Before resting, Song Ren also put the Yin-Yang umbrella aside.

This is not done to protect one's own safety, but to monitor the tiger demon and prevent it from escaping secretly.

The night is setting
It was not until the second half of the night, when Song Ren was sleeping soundly, that he was awakened by a rough singing voice coming from far away.

"The world~the way..."

"Daodaodaodaodaodaodaodao-dao!"

"Road to Road, very Avenue!"

"Heaven and earth!"

"Humane swordsmanship!"

"The black road, the white road, the ecliptic road, the equator..."

Song Ren was a little annoyed after being woken up from a good dream.

I walked to the window and pushed open the door and window of the guest room on the second floor of the ancient temple. In the moonlight, I saw a staggering figure walking towards me outside Lanruo Temple.

The other party poured wine into his mouth while dancing with a sword and singing.

His voice is heroic, loud and penetrating.

but--

It's really annoying.

The tiger demon had been squatting in the corner before, and was also awakened at this time. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he looked at the bearded man below who was obviously drunk, and was very unhappy: "Sir, do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

Song Ren did not comment: "If you can do it."

When the tiger demon heard this, he immediately became a little more sober.

It took another look at the person coming from outside the ancient temple.

A man with a big beard and a sword dance came to Lanruo Temple alone...

As if it had thought of something, it suddenly raised its head: "Hey! Could he be the legendary number one swordsman in the world, Yan Chixia?"

However, compared to the title of the world's number one swordsman.

In fact, the tiger demon was more afraid of Yan Chixia's ability to practice both Buddhism and Taoism.

The so-called number one swordsman in the world is just his reputation among ordinary people. Although it is widely spread, it does not have much deterrent effect on it.

However, the monsters and ghosts in Jinhua area are more aware of Yan Chixia's great reputation for practicing both Buddhism and Taoism.
