After eating and sleeping all the way, they finally arrived at the border of Qingfeng Town. Shen Xichen swore that when he returned to Qingfeng Mountain, no, when he got to Qingfeng Town, he would find a shop to pawn off this evil person who only talked back to him and acted wildly. He squandered all the money he earned from selling his body on wine and meat to repay the mental damage he had suffered along the way.
Shen Xichen, who has always been able to climb mountains and ridges with his spiritual power, has never endured such hardships since he was a child. The journey of three or four days took more than half a month. If he knew that he was in such a situation now, how could he still Pretending to be a fairy, not only a good horse, but also a carriage is wanted to be built.
However, he underestimated the demand for this evil barrier. In the past, the energy that Xu Zhiyi could draw was limited, which could be said to be very little. It was really difficult for her to continue like this for several years, but since she came to him, this person The bottomless pit, just like the porridge and side dishes before, suddenly achieved a class leap from Manchu to Han Dynasty, and almost swallowed him alive for a while. Even a person with profound spiritual power like Shen Xichen could only let her eat a few times at noon. Only when the time is right can she enjoy the food, and in the rest of the time, only provide enough to maintain her normal activities, so as to give him time to recover slowly.
At first, this villain was still hesitant about what he said due to his spiritual power. Seeing her slumped was a rare pleasure on the road, but she had just learned a little bit and didn't know how high the world was. She also knew how to imitate his tone and tease him. Come on, Shen Xichen, who has always been aware of her mouth, couldn't help but use spiritual power to shut her up several times. I don't know how to make progress and I am arrogant. Half a month ago, I must have been blind to see such a thing to harm myself.
At this time, a piece of jade pendant that could transform into a head, hands and feet looked like a child. It was sitting on the head of the little donkey, swaying up and down with the donkey's pace, and humming a tune I learned from him. Humming gracefully, she had no idea that the Taoist priest behind her who only knew how to meditate had the idea of crushing her at any moment.
After half a month of study, Ayu felt that his spiritual power had improved by leaps and bounds, and sometimes he could temporarily transform himself into a small figure. Although it still had to be based on the jade pendant, at this rate, it wouldn't take long at all. It would definitely be very long. I will soon be able to transform into another form. When I transform, I will definitely kick Shen Xichen to pieces, and then return to Xu Zhiyi openly and honestly. I feel happy just thinking about it. When I am happy, even Shen Xichen’s voice becomes more pleasant to my ears. .
What a rare moment of harmony.
"careful!"
Before Ayu could react, there was a very fast suction force, and she had returned to Shen Xichen's hand. The figure she had finally built dissipated, and she returned to Yuperi. She didn't know what happened, but she saw a meteor-like streak. After a flash of light, there was a loud "bang", and the ground shook. A strong wind mixed with gravel blew from the direction of the loud noise. Shen Xichen released a spiritual power array to block in front of him. Although there was no magic The formation protected him, but he still carefully used his body to block Ayu in the safest place. But the little donkey was not so lucky. He was frightened by this sudden change and was protected by the magic circle, unable to move. He almost screamed.
Fortunately, this incident did not spread. After a while, after confirming that it was safe, Shen Xi withdrew the magic circle and frowned slightly as he looked towards the place where the "meteor" fell. Ayu got out of the inner pocket of Shen Xi's coat and said excitedly: "There, there, there is such a big formation, go and see it!" Ayu's life has been peaceful and peaceful since she became conscious, and she has never experienced such an earth-shattering event. It's hard to face things calmly, and I can't wait to see what's new.
Shen Xichen stretched out his hand to press down the excited girl and held it in his hand. His tone was no longer casual and he said seriously: "A change of this level is either an immortal or an evil spirit. It is most likely a battle between immortals and evil spirits. We are now In this situation, you should put your own safety first, and there is no need to wade through this muddy water."
"Why don't we hide and take a look? You are so powerful, you should be able to prevent them from finding out."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Ayu had a flash of inspiration.
"Oh my God, such a powerful Taoist Master Shen Xi is not afraid now, right? Even though you have high cultivation level and strong spiritual power, you are still a mortal body after all. I shouldn't embarrass you like this." Ayu said Wan Wan snickered inwardly. Although she didn't have the chance to see it, she still felt refreshed by having the opportunity to stimulate Shen Xichen.
"You don't have to use words to provoke me. You are very capable now. You can float and see for yourself. When the time comes, I will be shattered to pieces and I will be free. This can be regarded as your greatest blessing." Unexpectedly, Ayu felt deflated and suffered again. Without real power, he angrily hid aside and thought about the tyranny of this overlord. Shen Xichen ignored her and led the donkey into the bushes. The place where the incident happened was just ahead. For safety reasons, he did not intend to continue on the road and hid himself to wait and see what happened.
But things in the world are unpredictable. Even if they deliberately avoid disaster, the disaster will happen to them.
Before they could settle down, a man in black clothes came rushing from the jungle in the distance accompanied by a roar of tigers. Shen Xi's heart sank, and he pulled out the piece of peach wood from his hair. The peach wood turned into a sharp peach wood sword, pulling out a string of sword flowers in the air, and placed it in front of the body to prepare for the attack. This sudden sword surprised Ayu. This kid still has this skill.
Frightened by this series of changes, the poor donkey finally screamed, broke free from the reins and flew away. Shen Xi took a deep look, stretched out his hand, and the bell around the donkey's neck was taken back into his hand. Okay, it turns out this is him too. of magic weapon. Put away the bell and then focus on the figure from far to near. Ayu also felt the tense atmosphere and flew silently behind Shen Xichen. From this place where she felt relatively safe, she looked ahead and stood ready.
The black figure was very fast and came to them in an instant. When he saw them, he wanted to get closer, but he saw Shen Xichen holding his sword and stopped in place. The man in black never thought that he would meet someone with spiritual power here. Although he was obviously a mortal, he could instantly tell that he was a cultivator based on his attire. The power he exuded was not low in cultivation. He knew that he would not be able to fight for a long time due to the level of injuries on his body, so now that he had encountered it, it was just right.
Previously, this person was still far away and was wearing black clothes, so he could not see clearly. Now he was in front of him. Ayu found that this person was covered with wounds, and there was no good thing about him. There were several wounds that looked like claw marks that had penetrated into the bone marrow. Although the clothes were black, But the depth is different, I'm afraid it has been stained with blood, the halberd in his hand is dripping with blood, his face is pale, and he feels like he will fall to the ground at any time, but even though he is injured like this, his speed is stronger than ordinary people. Not ordinary people.
"The situation is urgent. As fellow cultivators, please help the Taoist priest!" As soon as he finished speaking, with a deafening roar, a black and yellow beast suddenly appeared, trying to knock the man down before his eyes. It came from this beast. The coercion of the beast made Ayu feel a little suffocated. This was a tiger!
Shen Xi turned around with his sword in hand, and the blade of the sword was striking at the tiger's mouth. Spiritual energy burst out from the sword, and the tiger's body was pushed backwards and fell to the ground. The tiger's face was scratched by the sudden spiritual energy. Together, he turned over and found someone else taking action, and roared angrily. After standing still, he stared at the two people in front of him, panting and exuding white air from his mouth. However, this white air was not ordinary hot air and did not dissipate. Instead, it condensed into a tiger shape and hit Shen Xi straight to the ground, followed by him. When the fight started, the white air seemed to be insubstantial. It stabbed and slashed continuously, and it was impossible to break free for a while.
But its body jumped towards the man in black. Seeing this, the man turned back and tried to block it with his sword, but the tiger's body suddenly turned into a streak of white smoke, and out of the white smoke rushed out an extremely strong man with his upper body naked. , but his face had the characteristics of a tiger, and his clawed hand held a dagger that seemed to be made of huge tiger teeth. He flew down, and it turned out to be a transforming tiger demon!
The man in black clothes didn't expect that the tiger demon still had the strength to transform. He held the sword to one side, and the sword edge cut his opponent's arm. This move could only avoid the position of the heart, but the dagger was still straight. It penetrated his shoulder, and the man groaned in pain, his expression suddenly changed.
However, the man who turned into a tiger didn't want to let him go just like that. He pulled out his dagger and yelled to use the final killing move. Shen Xichen here was temporarily freed from the entanglement of the evil spirit. Seeing this scene from the corner of his eye, he didn't have time to think about it. Throw the peach wood sword in your hand at the tiger demon, and the sword immediately penetrates the tiger demon's back to the chest. This peach wood sword is not a magical weapon. It has no special spiritual power. It cannot kill the monster directly, but it can temporarily restrain it. Evil moment.
The tiger demon stopped and knelt on the ground. The man in black clothes underneath him used his last strength to kick the tiger demon over. The human-shaped tiger demon finally couldn't support his body and turned back to the tiger's appearance.
The demonic aura that was about to penetrate him also dissipated instantly as the tiger demon fell down. He knew that although the demonic aura was not fatal, it was enough to hurt him. He took a few days' rest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ayu hid aside and watched all this, and was shocked. First of all, in her eyes, this evil spirit almost killed Shen Xichen. If he died, she would also suffer. Although she was falsely alarmed in the end, she still let She was terrified. If it hadn't been for his last sword, his and her lives would have been decided here. Secondly, she had seen a real demon who could fight with immortal cultivators and knew how to use tricks to contain Shen Xichen. Really a lot of cultivation.
The tiger demon was temporarily suppressed by the Taomu Sword. He lay on the ground unable to move and could only roar lowly. The man in Xuanyi on the other side slowly raised his upper body with the sword. His twisted facial features could prove how much pain he had endured. Shen Xi Seeing this, Shen stepped forward and knelt down, covering the man's body with spiritual power, temporarily stopping the wanton bleeding. Only then did the man's expression regain his composure, lowering his head and breathing heavily.
The tiger demon on the ground in the distance yelled unwillingly: "Where did the Taoist priest come from, why did you try to ruin my business, why did you meddle in my own business, just a little bit, damn, self-righteous people, hateful ascetics, all deserve to die, die , all go to hell, go to hell.”
Ayu heard the roar and saw the tiger demon's appearance clearly. There were large and small scars between the black and yellow fur. Some of them were just injured in this battle. No one was there to treat him and he was bleeding all the time. , and the others are more old injuries, which have already formed scars, deep and shallow all over the body. The tiger demon ignored the bleeding wound and roared seemingly viciously. Every time he shouted, the wound cracked open more, and the sound resounded through the forest.
When she heard the hoarse roar, she actually heard a bit of despair and sadness.
"My wife and my son, I am useless. I have no ability to protect you. I have no ability to kill all the hypocritical people in this world who claim to be righteous but do evil things. Although we are monsters, we still kill those who hurt me. Why is it justice for them to persecute, why is it evil for us to protect ourselves? I don’t accept it, hahaha, what a righteous and righteous world, take my life today.”
"Wait a minute, what happened? Look, I'm the same as you, but I'm not as powerful as you. I don't even know what I am. What made you embark on this path? What is it? Who is causing trouble? Who is the good guy? Maybe, maybe someone can help you, someone can help us..."
What the tiger demon said seemed to touch Ayu's heart. The world seemed fair and peaceful, but how many cries were concealed behind the peace. She didn't understand many things, but she felt that everyone in front of her could be punished. The monster in it so truly vents his unwillingness and despair.
"I no longer expect the world to help me, and my heart has long since died, but I never feel that what I do is wrong. They were the ones who were wrong first." The tiger demon didn't want to respond to the world anymore, and looked at it with his eyes. The figure half sitting on the ground in the distance murmured:
"You are helping him like this, but do you know that the person you are protecting now is also a sanctimonious hypocrite. Do you know what he did..."
Before he could finish speaking, a burst of spiritual energy hit him, and Ayu felt that he was instantly enveloped by a familiar aura.
Shen Xichen held the jade pendant in his arms and stared at the direction of the release of the spiritual energy with vigilant eyes. The man in black clothes pointed his finger in the direction of the tiger demon, but before he could finish speaking, the tiger demon had been penetrated by the spiritual power in the heart, and was struck instantly. lethal.
At the moment before being protected by Shen Xichen, Ayu saw that the tiger demon still had his eyes open, with endless regret and resentment hidden in his eyes. The words that were still unfinished on his lips showed how much harm the tiger monster had suffered. Its body dissipated into the air as it died.
How good, it seems like there is one less evil monster in this world...
