Yasha felt not only pain in his back, but also a hot and spicy feeling. He didn't know that the arrowhead of the featherless arrow had been fed with toad poison, which was secreted by several toad spirits from the tumor on his back.
Zhu Yan pulled up his big bow from a distance and was about to shoot an eagle-claw arrow when the voice of the bat spirit came from above his head: "No! Yaksha..." Before he could finish his words, a Yaksha with wings on his back flew up from the top of the tree and flew into the air. The claws knocked down the bat spirit, and the bats from other places who were exploring had just flown in. Seeing that the clan leader was injured, they were so scared that they flew away.
The young tiger was ordered to protect the King of Hundred Demons and stayed by Zhu Yan's side. Seeing that the flying Yaksha was about to attack Zhu Yan from high altitude, the young tiger roared at the Yaksha in the air. The Yaksha was frightened first, and then rushed straight down towards Zhu Yan! Zhu Yan aimed the arrow in the sky and recited the "Secret Blessing of Liujia" in his mouth: "All those who are facing the battle should march forward in formation!" The eagle-claw arrow trembled slightly on his knuckles, and shot through Yaksha's right shoulder like lightning.
Yasha was furious and struggled to pull out the arrow with his left hand. Unexpectedly, the front end of the eagle claw arrow had four claws that hooked back. When he pulled out the arrow, his shoulder muscles were torn into pieces, and the entire right arm was broken and fell from the air.
Flying Yaksha roared and rushed down. The tiger straightened its hind legs and waved its claws in the air to prevent Zhu Yan from being harmed. Zhu Yan took the opportunity to aim an arrow. Yaksha saw him drawing the bow and was apprehensive. He hesitated for two seconds in the air when he suddenly felt his legs. When it gets cold, it's like being surrounded by ice.
Feitian Yaksha looked down in surprise and saw a woman standing in front of Zhu Yan, arms stretched out towards him.
"It's a fox!" Zhu Yan, who often hangs out with monsters, recognized it at a glance.
The woman was Hu Zangji's companion who had been practicing for hundreds of years. She suddenly appeared, causing Feitian Yaksha to panic. Zhu Yan immediately recited the "Secret Blessing of Liujia", aimed at the eyeballs that were shining red in the dark night, and shot the eagle claw arrow into it. With Feitian Yaksha's eye sockets, he leaned back and fell straight into the forest.
On the other side of the bullock cart, Yaksha twisted off the young man's head. A middle-aged man cried out: "My son!" He was so sad that he drew his sword and rushed forward. He was also a practitioner. The son of the family, who had learned the art of swordsmanship, saw that Yaksha was superior, so he slashed his ankles.
I saw Yaksha's feet as slender as chicken feet, looking like evil ghosts from the underworld. The middle-aged man slashed them with a knife, and Yaksha immediately scratched several deep grooves on his back. Seeing his desperate efforts, others also They swarmed forward, swords and arrows coming down.
The demons were also locked in a bitter fight. A section of the deer spirit's big horn was forcibly broken off, and there were many dead and injured rat spirits scattered around. Yaksha had many featherless arrows poisoned with toads inserted into his body, and his two red eyes seemed to be in a trance. But they still fought fiercely.
After Zhu Yan shot Feitian Yaksha down, he pushed the young tiger: "Go and help them!"
The tiger seemed to understand the human words. It immediately ran towards the demons, pounced on the yaksha, aimed at the yaksha's neck and opened its mouth, trying to subdue the yaksha with its whole body weight. This was its hunting habit, but it was not suitable for use on the yaksha. . Before the tiger bit Yaksha, Yaksha inserted his claws into the tiger's neck and pulled hard. The tiger's neck was immediately cut open. Yaksha then pulled with both hands, pulling the huge tiger's upper body apart.
The tiger did not expect that it would die, and thought it could easily kill the tall and thin Yasha. It fell to the ground weakly. Its last thought was to glance at Zhu Yan to confirm his safety, but its neck could no longer move.
Zhu Yan didn't expect the tiger to die so quickly. While he was still stunned on the spot, he felt a violent killing intent behind him.
"The fifth Yaksha..." he thought to himself.
Yes, Bat-Elf said there were five.
A Yasha that was twice as tall as him was already standing behind him, only an arm's length away, almost close to him, but Zhu Yanfang didn't feel his presence at all.
Yasha's fiery red eyes stared directly at him, muttering something unknown in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to him, but Zhu Yan couldn't understand.
"What?" he said.
Yasha's giant claw swung down, and Zhu Yan saw a white light crack between his eyes in severe pain, and the strong white light quickly obscured his vision.
Then he fell unconscious.
※※※
When Zhu Yan opened his eyes again, he still saw strong white light, but it was the light of the sun.
His whole body was sore, he got up in a daze, and looked around in a daze. On the forest road under the slanting sunlight, four or five human corpses were placed side by side, and many animal corpses were scattered everywhere. He also saw two ox carts, pulled at both ends. The cow in the car walked to the roadside and gnawed grass.
Zhu Yan was confused and didn't understand what was happening.
Someone was moving around. As his vision gradually became clearer, he finally saw clearly that it was Aunt Gao and two men escorting the weapons. They were pulling arrows from the corpse, and then pouring water from the water bag to clean the blood on the arrow clusters.
That was Yaksha's body.
Zhu Yan suddenly woke up and counted the number of yakshas carefully. One, two, three, four... four. The biggest one fell at the edge of the forest. There should be another flying one that fell into the forest, right?
finished? How did it end?
The monsters slowly walked towards the largest Yaksha, either lowering their heads to look at him, or moving closer to sniff him.
Zhu Yan ignored the demons and staggered towards Gao Auntie, dragging his sore legs.
Aunt Gao looked at him with a somewhat fearful look. When the two men saw him coming, they quickly avoided her.
He stopped in front of Gao Auntie in confusion: "How did Yaksha die?"
Aunt Gao asked in confusion: "You don't know?"
Zhu Yan shook his head.
"You killed it, you killed it all."
"Me?" Zhu Yan was surprised.
"You... your whole body was glowing with white light, and you were able to kill all three Yakshas in just a few strokes."
Zhu Yan had no idea what she was talking about.
He walked towards the body of the yaksha and saw that the yaksha beside the bullock cart had no head. There was also a headless yaksha lying next to the body of the deer spirit.
"Where's the head?" He didn't see the head that was supposed to exist.
"I was...thrown far away by you." A man stammered.
The two men arranged the bows and arrows, repackaged them, and covered the oxcart with oil paper. Then they knelt beside the corpses of their companions and stared at them blankly.
Zhu Yan also walked over, bowed his head in mourning for them, looked at their mutilated bodies, and remembered that they were still complete people yesterday, Zhu Yan couldn't help but wonder, did he kill them?
He knelt down on one knee, put the young man's severed head in place, and tried to press the broken neck tightly, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Aunt Gao also came over and knelt down, clasped her hands together, and began to chant something. Seeing this, the two men also clasped their hands and chanted together. Zhu Yan couldn't understand what they were chanting. It sounded like Sanskrit incantations. He had seen the last afterglow of the Tang Dynasty when he was young. Various Buddhist incantations were very popular at that time. Most people in the Tang Dynasty could recite one or two incantations. .
Suddenly, he heard a very loud "chewing, chewing, chewing" sound, as if there were many mouths eating.
He was surprised to find the source of the sound, and saw a group of foxes, rats, raccoons, toads, bats and other monsters surrounding the largest yaksha, making greedy chewing sounds and lowering their heads to eat the yaksha meat. Zhu Yan was surprised and said: "What are you doing?" What?"
"Your Majesty is awake." The demons stopped chewing and bowed to Zhu Yan together.
"Are you eating Yasha meat?"
The rat spirit said honestly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yaksha meat can prolong life and heal quickly if injured." Sure enough, the wounds on the monsters were slowly growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye. "This is a rare opportunity. For our practice, It’s helpful, please don’t stop everyone.”
Zhu Yan frowned.
He knows very well that those who practice with righteous thoughts should get positive results. If they practice with evil thoughts and wisdom, although they will see temporary results, in the long run, they will eventually fall into evil consequences that will never be recovered. Yaksha is a violent creature. If a cultivator eats his flesh, wouldn't he be afraid of evil thoughts infiltrating him?
He recalled how frightened Madam Gao had been when she mentioned that he was covered in white light, but the demons didn't seem to be surprised at all. He couldn't help but ask, "Have you expected it?"
"The king is referring to...?"
"Aunt Gao said that I killed all these yakshas."
The demons remained silent.
"I don't understand what I have the ability to kill them, and you seem to know better than me."
Toad replied calmly and calmly: "My clansmen in Qingcheng Mountain told me that when they asked you to be the King of Hundred Demons, they told you that the king's true identity is Chi You, the God of War."
Zhu Yan asked in surprise: "Chi You?" It was indeed such a thing, "Then what happened last night?"
