The moment the long sword was unsheathed, the surrounding scenery became blurry and condensed.
There is only a long rainbow that looks like a shooting star, leaving a thick and colorful mark on this almost still picture.
"Click——"
The crisp sound of metal breaking was particularly harsh in the quiet courtyard.
The madness in Monk Deyuan's eyes gradually faded away, and the evil Buddha's light burning like a flame on his body was like a candle in the wind. He lowered his head and looked at the blood stains appearing on the midline of his body, with a trace of misery at the corner of his mouth:
"Cough cough...cough cough...such swordsmanship...is it Daoguo..."
"It's really... a fair defeat..."
"I pursued it all my life... but in the end... I lost to my inner demon... This gave me an opportunity..."
Monk Deyuan raised his head with difficulty and stared at the young Taoist priest opposite: "Fellow Taoist... you must be careful... Ci..."
Before Monk Deyuan could finish his words, the last trace of the fire of life was completely extinguished.
he died.
"Huchi...huchi..."
Wang Changsheng was half kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.
Even though he had been promoted to the early stage of Bigu, with his strength, he was still unable to control the power of "Sword Controlling Technique", and his body was completely hollowed out after using it.

[Kill the evil monk (the Bigu consummation), [Taoist] experience value +200]
[Occupation: Taoist lv.3 (330/300)+]
Looking at the prompts on the attribute panel in front of him and the full experience tank, Wang Changsheng did not hesitate and put a little more force on the "+" sign.

The moment [Taoist Priest] leveled up, a strong warm current washed over his whole body, causing Wang Changsheng's body to recover rapidly due to the use of "Sword Controlling Technique".
In just one breath, he was back to his peak state.
"call……"
With a long sigh of relief, Wang Changsheng looked at the two corpses of Monk Deyuan lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and his heart was quite complicated.
When they first met, he had a good impression of Master Deyuan, but he didn't expect that he was the mastermind behind the series of tragedies in Anmi Town.
Monks are supposed to be compassionate, but Monk Deyuan, who was once a "dragon-slaying boy", eventually became an "evil dragon" and harmed the people.
Dozens of innocent children died because of his extreme and crazy ideas, and their bodies and souls perished in the most glorious years that should have had an infinite future.
As for what Monk Deyuan said before he died, Wang Changsheng was very concerned.
There is a saying that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Finally, what was the thing with the word "compassion" in it that Monk Deyuan asked him to be careful about?
Does the phrase "Losing to the inner demon gives people an opportunity to take advantage of" imply that there is a deeper behind-the-scenes driving force behind the Anmi Town Eye Demon incident?
And what is the ultimate purpose of the people behind the planning of all this?
Everything is like a fog, making people unclear.
Wang Changsheng shook his head and suppressed these doubts in his heart for the time being.
There is too little information at the moment, and blind speculation is completely meaningless. When more information is known in the future, everything will come to light.
Turning around, Wang Changsheng cast his eyes on the dying girl behind him and the painted demon dragon beside her.
At this moment, the bodies of one person and one demon have become transparent. After a few breaths, they may completely dissipate.
A lightning spell from Zhang Ciming's yellow paper clone completely destroyed the origins of the girl and the painting demon dragon.
In this case, no matter how good medical skills are, it is impossible to save them.
Wang Changsheng walked to the edge of a man and a dragon, and the painted demon dragon, which noticed his approach, seemed to want to move its body to protect the girl, but in the end, it was intentional but powerless.
Scarlet dragon eyes stared at the girl, the violence and viciousness of the past had disappeared, leaving only love, pity, and deep self-blame.
Compared with the painted demon dragon, the girl's expression seemed to be very satisfied. She hugged the untouchable dragon body, as if she really felt the warmth transmitted from it.
This situation made Wang Changsheng a little surprised.
The Painted Demon Dragon looked at the girl, and then at the young Taoist priest, his eyes condensed, as if he had made some kind of decision.
The next moment, intense white light emitted from the blank scroll behind them.
It is strange to say that the entire small courtyard was destroyed by the aftermath of Lei Fa, and only this unattractive scroll and bracket remained intact.
Under the white light, the illusory bodies of the girl and the painted demon dragon condensed slightly, and then they both flew towards the scroll at the same time.
Wang Changsheng's right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he still chose to hold still - he did not feel the slightest malice in the eyes of the demonic dragon he had just painted.
Under his gaze, the girl and the painted demon dragon merged into the painting, and strong white light emitted, making it impossible to see clearly what was on the screen.
A human figure outlined by a white light appeared next to the scroll.
It was a young man dressed as a scholar and wearing a hanging crown.
He bowed deeply in the direction of Wang Changsheng, and his voice was blurred and distorted: "I would like to wish Zixian and pay my respects to the Taoist Priest."
"I originally wanted to draw a real dragon picture for Anmi Town to pray for the Dragon King's mercy and bring down the rain. Who would have thought that in the end it would be taken advantage of by thieves and lead to a catastrophe."
"Everything is my fault, and I am willing to bear all the sins. It's just that Qiaomei is still young, and all this should have nothing to do with her."
"She just misses me too much..."
"I was already dead, but the strong longing awakened me from the deepest part of the dragon-painting spirit."
"I'm dying."
"But before I die, I want to leave a trace of life for Qiao Mei."
"I beg you, Taoist Priest, to let Qiaomei live. She is really a very good child."
"In return, I give this gift to the Taoist Priest and ask the Taoist Priest to forgive her for her unintentional mistake."
A ball of light flew out of the scroll and came to Wang Changsheng.
The light dissipated, revealing a milky white round stone, shaped like an eye, but it was completely closed.
"This is the Eye of the Painted Dragon. It can only be kept voluntarily."
"I don't know what it does, but it's the most precious thing in the scroll."
The light on Zhu Zixian's body suddenly dimmed a lot. He kept his bowing posture, raised his head, and looked into Wang Changsheng's eyes with full eyes.
"Please, Taoist Master, show mercy."
Wang Changsheng had no intention of taking over "Drawing Dragon's Eyes".
He neither agreed nor refused, but remained silent.
Throughout the whole incident, the painter Zhu Zixian and his only daughter Zhu Qiaomei were also victims.
But the latter are also perpetrators.
It is true that Zhu Qiaomei was bewitched by Monk Deyuan and practiced the so-called "Supreme Goodness and Compassion", but she created countless eye demon children, killed so many children, and took away their eyes, but she was a Indisputable fact.
How could he, an outsider, forgive such a sin by just asking for forgiveness?
But the man in front of him had such deep love for his daughter that he couldn't bear it.
Therefore, Wang Changsheng chose to remain silent.
And silence, many times, means rejection.
Zhu Zixian had a tragic look in his eyes: "Taoist Priest, in fact, Qiao Mei and I are both mortal. What I call a glimmer of hope is just a small possibility of her reincarnation."
"In this life, she is indeed dead."
"Even if she is reincarnated, she will no longer be who she is today."
"Please be kind to the Taoist Priest and give me a chance."
While speaking, Zhu Zixian knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Wang Changsheng remained silent.
Seeing Zhu Zixian's body becoming more and more transparent, and about to die, but still maintaining the kowtow posture, Wang Changsheng sighed slightly, and finally felt compassion, spread his hands, and let the "Eye of Painting Dragon" fall on him palm.
"Taoist Master is compassionate."
Zhu Zixian’s voice was choked with sobs.
His body gradually turned into a point of light and merged into the painting.
The scroll, which exuded a strong white light, reached its peak with the integration of Zhu Zixian.
The dazzling light forced Wang Changsheng to squint his eyes and raise his hands to block it in front of him.
After ten breaths, the light slowly faded away.
Wang Changsheng put down his hands and looked forward.
The huge picture scroll and wooden frame had all disappeared, replaced by a small white creature hovering in a ball on top of the ruins.
