Hearing what the tree demon said, Gu Xu turned his head involuntarily and glanced at Shi Xiaohan beside him.
"I'm fine, Xiaohan," he smiled faintly, "This tree demon is just a fragment of soul, not its true body. It wants to hurt me, but it's not that easy."
"Hmph, I'm not worried about your safety," Shi Xiaohan said with his hands on his hips, "I'm just afraid that you will kill this monster like before, leaving this heroine without a chance to show off your skills."
The dryad sneered and interjected: "Ah, what a lying little girl! The thought in your mind is clearly 'It's great that he is not injured'."
Shi Xiaohan immediately shook his head and denied: "You monster, don't talk nonsense! With your strength, you are not worthy of making me feel worried!"
After saying that, she pulled out the "Kunwu Sword" with its red light shining from her back, and prepared to use the "Overlord Sword Technique" to slash at the tree demon.
But Gu Xu stopped her move.
"This tree demon's split soul was summoned by the group of people next to us who performed the 'God Dance' ceremony. It now occupies the body of a common woman," Gu Xu briefly explained the situation in front of him to Shi Xiaohan, " In the program of our exorcism department, saving people is the first priority. Within the scope of our ability, we should try our best to save this woman's life."
"I listen to you." Shi Xiaohan nodded and put down the knife in his hand.
Then she looked at the locust tree demon.
I saw dark brown branches crisscrossing each other.
Broken flesh and blood entangled in it.
And among the lush green leaves, human faces can also be vaguely glimpsed.
A pair of black eyes were hidden under the delicate white petals, staring at everyone present with hungry and ferocious eyes.
Although Shi Xiaohan had participated in many ghost-killing missions and had seen all kinds of ferocious evil ghosts.
But the locust tree demon in front of her, with plant branches mixed with human flesh and blood, still made her feel a strong physical discomfort.
At this moment, Gu Xu took action.
He once again cast the "solar eclipse" spell and launched a violent attack on the locust tree demon from the level of the soul.
In an instant, the light in his pupils disappeared and turned into darkness, like midnight without the moon and stars.
Although Gu Xu is only a practitioner who has entered the second realm for the first time.
But after hard training day and night, the strength of his soul has approached that of a fourth-level monk.
Even though the tree demon is an "evil spirit" level ghost, what appears in front of Gu Xu at this time is just a fragment of its soul.
You must know that when he took the assessment in the illusion of "Wen Gu Hu", even the "Dream Eater Tapir" who was proficient in spiritual consciousness spells could not defeat Gu Xu in a head-to-head spiritual confrontation.
This half-assed tree demon soul is even less likely to be Gu Xu's opponent.
So in an instant, the tree demon souls were defeated one after another. Under Gu Xu's repeated attacks, they were on the verge of disintegrating!
"This monk looks so young, how can he have such powerful soul power? Is it possible that he is a strong man who hides his identity and strength?"
The tree demon felt incredible.
The situation is not right, retreat immediately!
Although the locust tree demon really wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity today to obtain a body that can move freely and turn all the stupid mortals around him into his food, but now that he has hit a hard bone that is difficult to chew, he still has to go on his own. Protection is important.
Condensing a split soul is not an easy task for it.
If this ray of soul is lost, the strength of its body will be damaged to a certain extent.
Therefore, at this critical moment, it decided to follow its inner instinct.
"Sir monk, spare your life!" The locust tree demon shouted without hesitation, "Don't kill me! I will leave this woman's body right now!"
As soon as the words fell, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and floated out from the young woman's body, trying to escape into the distance and return to her own body.
…………
All this happened in a blink of an eye.
In the field of vision of the bystanders, only Gu Xu and the tree demon could be seen looking at each other.
The former's eyes were calm and composed.
The latter was aggressive at first, but after a while, the momentum in his eyes dimmed, and he even began to wail and beg for mercy.
"Is this the ability of the monks from the Exorcist Department?" Everyone present couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, he is as powerful as the rumors!"
Because Gu Xu looked too young and not strong.
Everyone was originally worried about whether the young man from the exorcism department would suffer in the confrontation with evil spirits.
But they never expected that Gu Xu would defeat this arrogant locust tree monster in less than two breaths.
Absolutely appalling!
…………
"This tree demon is really flexible and flexible!" Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, "It is indeed an 'evil spirit' level ghost with wisdom, but it is different from those wandering ghosts without brains."
But he would not sit back and let the tree demon's soul slip away.
After all, this ray of soul is worth three hundred meritorious deeds!
Only by completely eliminating this ray of soul can he obtain the "Eternal Brightness Pill" that he will use for practice in the next few days.
Therefore, he instantly predicted the direction in which the tree demon's soul would escape, and used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique to catch up with it at lightning speed.
Gu Xu once read in a book that there are three ways to completely destroy the souls of ghosts, namely: the monk's true fire, the metal with the attribute of the sun, and the special talisman that can borrow the power of the sun, moon and stars. .
Although the third-generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Ghost Killing Talisman" is very lethal, it requires reciting a spell when using it - the tree demon's soul escaped too fast, and it was obviously too late to use it.
"It seems like we can take this opportunity to try out the power of the "Red Flame True Art"!"
Gu Xu thought while condensing the true energy in his body into the palm of his hand.
Then he lightly slapped the black soul like a mosquito.
Zila Zila.
It was as if a mosquito had been burned by an electric mosquito swatter.
That ray of soul dissipated instantly before it could even let out a scream.
No trace is left.
The young woman also lost her plant characteristics at this moment and returned to her original appearance as a human being.
She lay on the ground, unconscious.
Just now, Gu Xu and the evil ghost had a spiritual confrontation in her conscious world.
This kind of thing was still a bit too much for a fragile mortal like her to bear.
As for Shi Xiaohan, he stood aside, stunned and speechless.
She had already taken out the "Kunwu Sword" and was always ready to join the battle and show off her power in front of Gu Xu.
However, before she could take action, the evil ghost was easily killed by Gu Xu.
This gave her mixed feelings.
She felt that she came to Xunliu Street today purely for shopping and watching a movie.
Like an outsider.
There is no experience at all.
