Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1576 1548. Exorcism
Before this, Ah Xiu had taken away a strange residue from the monsters that were killed and exorcised several times.

That thing was like a giant living heart, but what flowed in its pulsating blood vessels was not blood, but streams of foul and evil spirits.

The name of that thing is [Soul Core], which is the essence of a monster's power.

Normal humans, that is, Onmyoji, may use these foul things when subduing and cultivating Shikigami.

Otherwise, although this thing is powerful, there is really no way to use it harmlessly.

Ah Xiu's use of this kind of thing is quite unique.
The half-demon beauty first suddenly lowered her head, and then the boiling demonic energy condensed and took shape on the outer layer of her body!

A red monster wearing ancient warrior armor and with golden horns on its head covered Ah Xiu's body!
"Moo!!!"

The Minotaur that was once killed reappeared and showed his most powerful moment!
The golden bull's horns were laid flat, and it thrust forward fiercely!
The scorched land has now been plowed into wide furrows by the bull-headed ghost shaped by evil spirit!
With a 'boom', the shadow of the bull-headed ghost hit Yan Yanluo just before he was about to put his hands together and disappear into smoke!
"Ouch!"

Yanyanluo roared angrily but was powerless to resist.

In the center of the large forging factory is the famous huge furnace. Yan Yanluo had been in it before, using its heat to speed up the work of the knife makers.

But now, the cylindrical furnace was pushed up by the phantom of the Minotaur with smoke in it, and it was easily crushed and pierced like an ice cream cone!
The factory building really collapsed this time.

It's just that because the force of the impact was very concentrated, it collapsed in sections after the structural stability was destroyed, rather than falling apart directly.

Large chunks of bricks, stones and rammed earth fell down.

The phantom created by the bull-headed demon's [Soul Core] and evil spirit disappeared, and A Xiu's figure reappeared in front of Yan Yanluo.

But at this moment, the monster of hot smoke and fire dust was lying on the ground exhausted, with a layer of misty fog still covering its body, and it seemed that it had no strength to move.

The half-demon beauty reached down to her waist, and a short golden knife appeared in her palm.

He held the knife upside down with one hand and supported the end of the handle with the other, and with a "puff", he stabbed it right in the middle of Yan Yanluo's forehead, which was lowered because he was lying down!

At the same time, in mid-air.

The talisman paper flashed in the air.

Another [Water Binding Talisman] was flying in the air.

But just as the talisman paper was thrown out, a long sword blade with a graceful arc suddenly pierced through the center of the talisman paper!
[Power of Water] permeated the blade, and the blade with a layer of water mist did not lose its momentum after passing through the talisman paper, and it stabbed from high to low in the middle of Yan Yanluo's back!

A Xiu, whose forehead was stabbed with the dagger, pushed the handle of the knife upward with her palm!
Lan En, whose chest was stabbed by the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, used his palm to push the back of the knife to the side of his body!

Yanyanluo's huge body, which looked like cracked pottery, emitted strong light and heat from the two large cracks.

Finally, its body exploded into pieces like fragile pottery.

“Wu ...

Those fragments often turned into foul air and disappeared before they even hit the ground.

After dying at the hands of someone blessed by a guardian spirit, these evil spirits no longer have the ability to harm people again.

The causes of the formation of monsters in Japan are always very strange. Even the corpses of monsters and the resentment of killed monsters can become new monsters.

If there is really no way to cut off this alternative kind of 'eternal life', then it would be hard to say whether the world is still the world.

Fortunately, Yin-Yang magic, Buddhism, Shintoism, and even warriors possessed by guardian spirits can cope with this alternative "ecological cycle".

The factory building was still collapsing, and two things remained from Yan Yanluo's exploded body.

One is a [Soul Core] that looks like a deformed heart, and the other is a fiery red magatama with heat.

[Soul Core] was naturally absorbed into the body in the form of demonic energy after being touched by Ah Xiu. After Yan Yanluo died, the golden essence power that burst out from his body was also absorbed by the short knife in Ah Xiu's hand like a whale absorbing water.

After all, Lan En did not take out his gluttonous sword this time.

Lan En picked up the magatama.

Enenra is a great monster that Abe Haruaki has recorded in his book. If he really fights with all his might, with [Eternal Darkness] activated, he can at least cover the entire area.

But now, not only did it demolish the factory without a single blow, it also didn't have a chance to use [Chang'an]. In a gust of wind, after Ah Xiu and Lan En caught its weakness, its demonic energy was instantly emptied, and then it was executed.

The collapsed factory building could not do anything to them.

In fact, even if the two of them just stood there and were hit by the wreckage of the building, it is estimated that nothing would happen. After all, although this is the most important building in Ta'e Mountain, the building materials are still not solid in Lan En's eyes.

But no one likes trouble.

"It's time to go, Xiu."

Lan En and A Xiu nodded to each other, then turned around and rushed out of the collapsing factory building.

They followed the originally planned route and didn't see much blood or dead bodies on the road, which meant that the plan was almost successful.

But halfway through, a one-legged rider jumped out from the mountain.

There were sparks crackling from his body, and he was screaming and shouting as he raised a sledgehammer to hit them.

The two men who had just killed a big monster were in top form and were almost wondering, "Why did this guy dare to come out and cause trouble after a big monster like Yan Yanluo died?"

After all, after the big monster died, the feeling that the gloomy demonic aura and foul air were swept away was obvious and could not be concealed normally.

But on second thought, the monsters, this ferocity is rooted in the core of their souls, they are originally frantic and wild souls.

Lan En dodged the hammer, and Ah Xiu's [Wind God Stage 3] directly knocked out its demonic energy in one round. The hammer smashed the ground, and the rocks flew everywhere. In the scene that was like an earthquake in a radius of 20 meters, the top warriors were still able to keep their steps steady.

This one-legged bellows was injured before, and its demonic energy was not sufficient. As a top martial art that weakens the opponent's energy and demonic energy, it is normal that [Wind God Three Stages] can clear its demonic energy in one round.

After draining the opponent's demonic energy, Ah Xiu used [Cross Slash] to first consume its physical body that could not be replenished by demonic energy.

It was almost like cutting off half of its majestic arm, leaving it with one eye, one leg and one hand.

The body was not protected by the demonic energy, and after it was almost worn out, the golden dagger stabbed into the chest as usual, leaving a huge wound.

The life of the one-legged bellows turned into essence power and was absorbed by the short sword.

This is the normal way for a demon hunter to fight against this kind of monster.

Before, Wuming wanted to go up and hold on, but the environment really limited her combat conditions.

"How is it?" Lan En asked after catching up with the craftsmen who had escaped in front, as well as Wuming, Qilin and Flannel Ball who were responsible for protecting them.

They dealt with Yan Yanluo so quickly that they caught up with the people in front of them very quickly.

“No problem.” On the forest trail of Ta’e Mountain, Wuming pushed the evil ghost mask from his face to his forehead and hung it.

"They are all very weak, that's all. If their physical condition was too poor, they would have died long ago, and it wouldn't be our turn to care about them."

As a demon hunter, Wuming, who was used to seeing life and death, complained calmly.

However, after Lan En and the others caught up with her, she was obviously much more relaxed.

She was used to seeing life and death, but it was impossible for her to say that she didn't care and felt no pressure when she was responsible for the evacuation of so many craftsmen and their families.

"Did you kill a big monster?" Wu Ming turned his head and looked in the direction Lan En and the others were rushing towards. "This feeling can't be faked."

The sky there is now clear and the air is fresh. Even though the shouts and screams from the Ta'er Mountain and the sounds of muskets and gunpowder explosions can still be heard, they are not as depressing as before.

"A Yanyanluo."

"Then you guys are really fast."

Wu Ming thought about how embarrassed he was because of the one-legged pedal, and looked at Ah Xiu beside Lan En, who didn't react and was still quiet. He curled his lips for some reason.

Lan En walked over to Qilin and raised his hand to pat the flannel ball's small helmet.

"Well done, you two."

"Hey hey! No surprise meow!"

"Xilulu!"

Lan En had no intention of stopping. This group of craftsmen would only be safe after they joined up with the troops at the foot of the mountain.

By that time, the troops at the foot of the mountain that were doing their best to suppress the enemy with firepower could also withdraw directly.

Even the large forge was destroyed. Before Yoshitatsu Saito rebuilds Mount Tatara, he can forget about getting any more weapons or supplies from here.

Where did these craftsmen go?
Lan En thought about it and shook his head.

The war in Japan continues, and it seems to be getting more and more intense. The bottom line of the war is decreasing and the intensity is increasing. It would be great if ordinary people could find a place to live in peace.

While Lan En was thinking about this, Qian Zifeng, who was among the craftsmen who were also relieved because they had escaped from the village of Ta'er Mountain, approached Lan En with a hesitant expression.

"This. Sir?"

She shouted a little uncertainly.

"My name is Lan En."

"Then Lord Lan En!" she called immediately, "We are all grateful to you for saving us from hell. But everyone is still a little worried about the future life."

Although she was cheerful, she could only add bitterness to her smile at this moment.

"After all, we just escaped from hell."

"Yitatsu used the power of monsters to stir up unrest, and Master Daosan fought against him." Lan En first briefly explained the situation in Mino Province to the craftsmen who were controlled from the beginning, and then said, "If the war is over, you should continue your work as swordsmiths."

"Phew~ That's great!"

Qian Zifeng let out a long breath and let Lan En look at her.

"But why is it that you, an outsider who was detained while traveling to gain new knowledge, are speaking on behalf of the knife makers of Mount Taling?"

"Ah? Maybe it's because I helped them a lot before." Qian Zifeng smiled embarrassedly, "And it's not appropriate to say that I'm an outsider now, Lord Lan En."

"What does this mean?"

"I probably won't be leaving in the short term." Qian Zifeng shook his head, his tone revealing a sigh, "I originally thought that my little tricks should be enough for traveling and studying in this chaotic world."

"But now seeing the scene of Yilong driving the monster, I'm afraid that the future wars will be even more terrifying, right? I can't stand it with my limited ability."

"Now I am stuck in Meinong. I don't even dare to move forward."
