Seeing this, Qin Bai also gave up his plan to take action, and instead chose to watch the situation from the sidelines like the others.
He was very curious about why everyone felt that there was an insurmountable gap between the Golden Core cultivator and him, even though there was only a small realm between them.
In order to reduce the energy consumption, he even took the initiative to withdraw from the state of silver forged iron.
Fayin clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it seems it has nothing to do with us."
Hua Manlou couldn't help but murmured: "Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng don't use any energy in their usual duels. I don't know what the difference is."
Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have read through the thoughts of several people, and said in an envious tone: "The golden elixir is the difference between immortals and mortals."
"I only know that there is a natural gap between humans and demons. The latter can recover in a short time even if it is severely injured. But after a practitioner reaches the golden elixir, the true energy and strength in the body will continue to flow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Chuixue drew his sword. In an instant, his hair became extremely messy, but he still had one hand free to tidy it up.
At the same time, he swung down his other hand violently, the brilliant sword light seemed to be real, and the air couldn't help but be distorted.
The faceless demon roared angrily, and the thick fog gathered in his palm, forming a huge arm and grabbing at the sword light.
boom! ! !
The ground collapsed, and the sword energy and Yin energy collided to create a huge shock wave. Everyone except Qin Bai was a little unsteady.
Clang! !
Ximen Chuixue drew his sword again, and the array previously arranged by the Daolu Academy of the Capital was completely destroyed, and several houses in the Gongyuan collapsed.
The faceless demon was suddenly shrouded in smoke and dust, making it difficult to see the situation clearly.
"This weather is really disturbing."
Ximen Chuixue looked up coldly, then raised his hand and slashed hard.
Originally, it was drizzling in the sky because of the thick fog.
This sword light directly shattered the clouds, allowing the sun to shine down and dissipating a lot of the haze left by the demon.
Such a big movement should have caused a reaction from the Song Dynasty government, but strangely, although the army was dispatched, it could mainly be used to evacuate nearby residents.
This made Qin Bai think of a possibility. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng had been fighting in the capital for many years. It would be a lie to say that Zhao Ji didn't know.
They may have had close contact with each other, so the first reaction of the army was to suppress the impact of Ximen Chuixue's fight.
Thick fog rolled in, and countless souls screamed, making people's scalp numb.
The faceless demon rushed towards Ximen Chuixue very quickly, and the two immediately fought together, shaking the earth in an instant.
The sword light and Yin Qi collided with each other. Even Qin Bai couldn't see the movements clearly as the light and shadow flickered. He could only feel the sound of explosions everywhere.
A large number of troops surrounded Gongyuan, but they did not dare to get close and just maintained order.
Something surprising happened. Hundreds of people from various streets suddenly walked towards Gongyuan with dull expressions.
Although there were troops to intercept, these people did not care about life and death and tried to use their bodies to break through the defense line of the human wall.
Qin Bai took a deep breath. He and Fayin looked at each other, each feeling uncontrollable shock in their hearts.
As expected, the faceless demon has a plan. These people may look ordinary on the outside, but they have all become puppets.
Fayin sat down cross-legged, and the Buddha's light levitated him. At the same time, his hands were in the shape of orchids: "Be prepared for the situation to get out of control..."
Qin Bai knew that the other party planned to use Buddha's light to suppress the puppet people.
But the number is too great. There are only two out of ten outside the Gongyuan now. If more and more people gather in the future, no manpower can stop them.
And if you really want to take action against these people who have no flaws, you will probably be wanted by the Song Dynasty and put a reward on them, and even attract Buddhism and Taoism.
After Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, they walked outside the Gongyuan together. Sometimes they really had no choice.
At this time, Qin Bai suddenly turned around without realizing it. He seemed to have discovered something, and his body instantly cast silver wrought iron.
I saw an extremely terrifying sword energy slashing out from the center of the fight, and the faint screams of demons could be heard.
The faceless demon seemed to have underestimated Ximen Chuixue's strength, and was at a disadvantage for a while, even declining.
The puppet people also stopped and stood there with inexplicable expressions on their faces.
On the street not far away, Li Maochun was holding a long sword, wearing a costume he found from Deyun Club, and dressed up like a military general.
He let out an angry roar and rushed towards the puppet alone.
Before the officers and soldiers could react in time, Li Maochun chopped off the head of the nearest old woman with a knife, and blood spurted out from her neck.
The long knife was swung out again, and the residents were killed by him without any resistance, and then they were surrounded by officers and soldiers who reacted.
Li Lingfa, who was chasing him, was stunned. He looked at his father and half-knelt on the ground, losing all his strength.
"Let's first see if Ximen Chuixue can successfully eliminate the demon."
Qin Bai saw the mist gathering in the Gongyuan, fearing that the demon would escape back to the underworld, so he hurried towards the center of the battle between Ximen Chuixue and the faceless demon.
Fayin and the others hesitated for a few moments, then followed behind.
At the same time, Ximen Chuixue drew his sword faster and faster, and the ground faintly shook.
The faceless demon seems to be at a disadvantage, but the Yin energy surrounding it is extremely strong, and mist is constantly blending into it.
Ximen Chuixue frowned, and the Flying Immortal from Heaven unfolded his sword. The moment he drew the sword, his body melted into the wind, and the sharp edge turned the faceless demon into two halves.
The faceless demon's seemingly fatal blow knocked him away and hit him in a corner of the Gongyuan.
The mist blended into the flesh and blood of the faceless demon, and under the gaze of Qin Bai who came over, it turned into a door of flesh and blood within a few breaths.
The door is made of stone, with strange patterns on it.
Qin Bai has encountered similar situations several times. The door appears in the ghost mist, and what is connected behind the door is the underworld, which shows the connection between the two.
Seeing this, Fayin couldn't help but murmur to himself: "As expected, the gate of the underworld..."
Click click click.
The sound of mechanical operation came suddenly.
Several people subconsciously looked at Qin Bai, who had long since lost his human form and turned into a giant cannon.
If the purpose of the faceless demon is to summon a powerful being from the underworld, it must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.
Judging from the many times he has faced the gate of the underworld, this gate is not originless or rootless.
Qin Bai was constantly analyzing the weaknesses of the Gate of the Underworld in his mind, and at the same time, the spring-like barrel began to accumulate power, and the strong wind howled.
Within a few breaths, he had already made a decision.
The soil under the door has gradually transformed into ghost soil, so as long as the contact between the door of the underworld and the ground is destroyed, it can be destroyed.
After accumulating power, the cannonball was fired.
boom! ! !
Because the cannonball flew close to the ground, a large amount of soil was swept up and flying, not to mention the trees, flowers and plants that turned into powder in an instant.
Just as the cannonball was about to hit the gate of the underworld accurately, a figure suddenly appeared in the path of the cannonball.
Only the harsh sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the cannonball was easily cut in half.
Ximen Chuixue immediately sheathed his sword, straightened his hair, and took steps to enter the gate of the underworld.
"Ximen Chuixue, why..."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask. He recalled what the other party had said before. Could it be that he had been waiting for the faceless demon to appear?
Ximen Chuixue stopped walking, turned around and said calmly: "When I found traces of demons again, there were a lot of strange memories in my mind, so I had to go to the underworld, otherwise I would never be able to break through the bottleneck. Chance."
Qin Bai retreated from the silver forged iron. He stared at the swordsman and asked, "Senior Ximen, I would like to ask how many residents of the entire capital have become the puppets of demons."
"I don't know, I will try my best to find opportunities to kill the demons in the underworld."
Ximen Chuixue pulled up his sleeves. He also had scars on his arms. They were also carved by himself, but they only looked like a pale scar.
The scars formed the word "kill", and Qin Bai could feel the terrifying momentum contained in them even from a very far distance.
This shows that Ximen Chuixue also entered the underworld before, and like Li Maochun, he carved a scar on his hand to remind himself.
The latter's escape from the underworld was probably just luck, but Ximen Chuixue might have fought his way out.
The gate to the underworld began to become unstable, and he stepped directly into it without saying anything.
Cracks appeared on the door frame, and then spread quickly, and the ghost mist gradually became thinner.
The expressions of the residents outside the Gongyuan returned to normal, and they each walked back to their homes, as if everything had never happened.
Qin Bai and the others had different expressions. It was obviously unrealistic for them to enter the underworld with Ximen Chuixue. Their cultivation was too much.
Just when the gate of the underworld was about to collapse completely, Dharma Seal suddenly said with a complicated expression: "Amitabha, the poor monk decided to go in."
Qin Bai quickly stopped him. This behavior was no different than committing suicide: "Teacher Luo, just wait for the good news. Who else will go to hell if you don't me?"
Fayin smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid Ximen Donor made a wrong calculation. I already know the demon's purpose."
"What is it?" Lu Xiaofeng asked immediately.
"Don't say it, don't say it. Once you speak, there will be no hope..."
Fayin put his hands together and recited a few Buddhist scriptures, and then his eyes fell on Qin Bai.
"Never enter the gap between the underworld and the underworld. There is life and death, and I have no intention of coming back alive."
Qin Bai nodded. For him, he could only be invincible in the world of the sun.
"You must come back alive."
The gate to the underworld is becoming increasingly unstable and is about to disappear.
Fayin smiled, opened his mouth and spit out a fist-sized bone bead, which exuded a faint Buddha light.
"Donor Qin, Li Lingfa must be protected..."
After he handed the bone beads to Qin Bai, he stepped into the gate of the underworld without explaining anything.
Qin Bai and others watched each other leave. Although they didn't know why Fayin fought so hard to enter the underworld, they could only wait for the opportunity to turn around.
As for the fact that he mentioned Li Lingfa before leaving, everyone just thought that Fayin was familiar with the Li family and his son. It was unknown whether there was anything involved in it.
Qin Bai rubbed the bone beads in his palm. This was actually a relic, but it was different from the relics he had touched before.
The relics of Hanshan Temple were born from the reincarnation of eminent monks after their death. The Dharma Seal was made through cultivation and represents the gains and losses of this life.
The arowana in the aquarium wanted to swallow the relic, but Qin Bai didn't let it do so.
The reasonable seal handed the relic to him, just in case there was some arrangement, and then Qin Bai turned around and fed the fish. Isn't this a trick?
He didn't put it in a fish bag, but kept it close to his body, nourishing it with Buddha energy at all times to see if any changes could occur.
The army began to take over the order of Gongyuan. After all, the entire Gongyuan had been reduced to ruins.
The people showed no signs of anything strange after they left. Even though the Taoist priests from the Daoist Academy of the Capital used spells to exorcise demons and demons, they didn't notice it several times. They just thought that the demons had affected their minds.
Everything seems to have returned to normal, the capital is safe and orderly, and there is no trace of the influence left by the faceless monster.
Naturally, Qin Bai and others will not announce the truth to the public. Does anyone believe that it is just a matter of time? The main reason is that it will cause greater chaos, which will give the demon an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Now we can only wait for Fayin or Ximen Chuixue to go smoothly in the gap between the underworld, so that they can turn passivity into initiative.
However, Ye Gucheng never showed up. Qin Bai guessed that he was probably no longer in the capital and would only return on the full fifteenth day.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, with Ximen Chuixue pointing directly at his lair in the underworld, and Ye Gucheng in the upper world, he has a greater chance of winning no matter what.
But Qin Bai vaguely felt that something was wrong, mainly because the faceless demon's actions were too coincidental, giving him the feeling that he was actively attracting Ximen Chuixue into the underworld.
If this is really the case, the other party has a big plan.
The biggest fear is that things will develop predictably from beginning to end, and I'm afraid they have no chance.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Qin Bai became. He could only pile up his trump cards as much as possible to deal with future dangers.
There are many ways to temporarily increase your strength, ranging from cooking dishes to scripting magical powers.
When it comes to cooking dishes, Qin Bai actually has a lot of choices based on his current points, but he just has to think carefully about it.
The screenwriter's supernatural power is to breed a pseudo-soul, and then use the mana consciousness to bless himself. As long as the pseudo-soul is strong enough, the power he borrows is enough to fight against the demon.
Just when Qin Bai was about to take a short retreat to collect his thoughts, bad news came from Lu Xiaofeng's mouth.
Li Maochun and his son were imprisoned for murder.
According to the yamen in the capital, they rushed into the crowd and killed several people in full public view. They were guilty of the most unforgivable crime and will be executed in two days.
But during Lu Xiaofeng's investigation, the truth was reversed.
Many soldiers witnessed it. The only one who killed was Li Maochun, and Li Lingfa rushed forward to stop his father from committing the murder.
Qin Bai didn't know if it was related to the faceless demon, but since Fayin had confessed when he left, it was naturally impossible for him to watch the other party fall into danger.
Several people discussed countermeasures together. Lu Xiaofeng suggested using the soldiers' testimony to bail out Li Ling first, but Qin Bai felt that there was no need to go to such trouble.
Now that you are in prison, you can simply rob the prison. The simplest and crudest methods are often the most effective.
