Chapter 443 The Abnormality of the Demon Child

"The sky has its rules, the earth has its principles..."

When he saw these people appear, Li Yan held the certificate in his hand and began to chant the spell.

"stop!"

The purple-faced old man hurriedly stopped him.

However, Li Yan ignored him.

They are all old hands in the world. As soon as these three people showed up, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

The people from the Salt Gang were almost wiped out. Needless to say, they all knew that there was a flaw in their plan.

First, the demon followed them. Although it caused chaos in Fengdu City, it did not cause Li Yan and his men to come into direct conflict with Qingniu Temple...

Second, it was probably because Ma Sandong’s strength was beyond their expectations.

These people are willing to show up, most likely to negotiate some terms.

They are either earthly immortals or old ghosts who have returned to the world. They have profound Taoism skills and possess more information.

The only threat Li Yan could offer was the "Gou Yue".

All strategies are based on strength.

So no matter what the opponent wants to do, Li Yan will take action directly and disrupt the opponent's rhythm first.

Seeing the three people disappear, Li Yan stopped chanting, but still held the certificate, looking around, as if thinking about something.

A strange thing just happened.

When seeing these three people, Gou Diao did not give any task instructions, which meant that they must have sacrificial artifacts on them to avoid detection.

The situation is more dangerous than he thought...

"Those are the ones just now?"

Chongxuzi's eyes were gloomy and full of murderous intent.

It's not that he is stupid, but he was unintentional. It's like walking on the street and someone suddenly hits you. No one can defend against it.

What's more, there were problems within Qingniu Temple.

"Well, the immortal from Wushan..."

Li Yan whispered, "This matter is most likely caused by them instigating the Salt Gang, and they also have a magical tool to avoid the Yin soldiers. Senior, I'm afraid we have to change hands."

Chongxuzi nodded and said, "Okay."

As soon as he heard it, he knew what Li Yan wanted to do.

The opponent can avoid the Yin soldiers, but he also has a magic weapon in his hand that can summon the Lu soldiers. When the thunder comes from the sky, no matter how many earthly immortals there are, they will have to kneel.

It was originally used to deal with the demons inside, but now it seems that only Li Yan can do it. He will intimidate those earthly immortals...

On the other side of the valley, a strong wind was blowing.

Three independent cultivators from Wushan appeared at the same time.

"This kid is born in the year of the dog!"

The one-eyed Taoist said with a frustrated look on his face.

Wang Mengsheng, the purple-faced old scholar, remained calm as he shook his head and said, "This boy dared to threaten the cultivators in Wushan. He is a very bold man. I don't think he will compromise easily."

As he said this, he took out the pearl from his bosom and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lin, with this 'Ruyi Pearl', as long as we don't move more than ten meters away, the Hook Letter and the Yin Soldiers won't be able to find us."

"Let them die first, and then we'll show up..."

At this moment, the woman in palace dress who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up: "Wang Mengsheng, you are possessed."

"You encouraged us to go down the mountain and seek refuge with the King of Shu, which would have been fine. At least we would have a place to stay, but you created complications and instigated the Salt Gang to come and seize the treasure."

"Friend Bai and Friend Yuan are both dead. If they had stayed in Wushan, how could they have suffered the disaster today?"

"You must make your point clear today!"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his lips and palms turned blue.

The one-eyed old Taoist beside him also held the hilt of his knife and nodded, "Yes, Brother Wang, please don't lie to us. Is that thing really in there?"

"How dare I deceive you two?"

The purple-faced old scholar shook his head and said, "You have seen the situation in Wuxi. What we found for the Salt Gang was not the Wuxiang Kingdom's sacred cave at all, but the alchemy cave of the Eight Immortals of Shu, Erzhu Xian!"

"I hadn't thought of this at first, but a few years ago, I saw someone in Wuxi secretly transporting heavenly treasures through Wushan, so I went to investigate. It turned out to be the master of Qingniu Temple."

"I didn't want to cause trouble at the time, but now that I think about it, the treasure that was created by heaven was found and taken away by him."

"This thing may be the chance for us to ascend to godhood. If we can find it, why should we go to Chengdu and suffer the pain of living under someone else's roof?"

"Wait, if that guy doesn't die and sends the Qingniu Temple master into the netherworld, we can start snatching him away..."

"Alright!"

The one-eyed old Taoist nodded and said, "If it is really that treasure, it is worth taking some risks."

Seeing this, the woman in palace dress said nothing more...

…………

"They dare not enter the cave, there must be a reason."

Li Yan ordered in a deep voice: "The demon Ma Sandong is the best at possessing people and using plague. Whoever is possessed, subdue him immediately. I will send him to the netherworld..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone suddenly looked towards the cave entrance at the same time.

I saw a person slowly walking out of the darkness at the entrance of the cave.

This is a middle-aged Taoist priest, his robe is tattered, he wears leggings, his face is weathered, his hair is messy, and he holds a three-foot-long sword.

He is said to be a Taoist, but he looks more like an old farmer.

"Dead wood!"

Chongxuzi's eyes were filled with anger, "Did you instigate Brother to do this? Also, how could you, a beast, kill even your disciples?!"

The Taoist was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Chongxuzi, you are still so impulsive..."

"Have you forgotten what happened to Master back then? You were the one who yelled the loudest. Why are you here with a living ghost messenger now?"

"Don't confuse the audience!"

Chongxuzi said angrily: "These are two different things. When Master became an earthly immortal, he still secretly protected the people. He went against the way of heaven, but he did not lose the way of humanity."

"You, practicing sorcery and harming the people, are destroying the foundation of our Qingniu Temple. Even if the master is here, he will not forgive you!"

"Heavenly Way, Human Way?"

The dead tree was silent for a moment, his eyes full of mockery, "They are just fooling people. If the way of heaven is selfless and the way of man is fair, why are there so many grievances in the world?"

"Brother, go back."

He shook his head slightly, raised the sword in his hand, and pointed it at Li Yan again, "And you, the living ghost messenger, can use the Gangling Order to take me away, but you will die if you enter the cave, and your companions will not be able to escape either."

"If it weren't for those earthly immortals spying on me, I wouldn't bother to waste time talking to you. Leave now. After a few days, everything will calm down..."

As he was talking to the crowd, a disciple from Qingniu Temple who followed him suddenly had a fierce light in his eyes. He abruptly raised his sword and stabbed Chongxuzi in the back.

Chongxuzi was still too idealistic and thought that these disciples were deceived and went astray.

However, Li Yan was prepared.

He didn't even look back, just hooked his little finger.

call out!
The Soul-Breaking Flying Knife on his waist whizzed out and pierced through the head of the disciple who had attacked him by surprise, and the corpse fell to the ground with a thud.

"Flying knife technique?"

Taoist Ku Mu smiled faintly, "The sword immortal's method is not like this, let me teach you."

After saying this, he made a hand gesture, exhaled a stream of white air from his mouth, made a sword gesture with his left hand, and guided the white air to touch the sword.
hum!
The sword in his hand suddenly vibrated and emitted a bright light, and the sharp energy of Gengjin continued to flow in and out of the tip of the sword.

"Even a sword immortal can't be like you!"

Taoist Chongxuzi also raised his sword, and at the same time a yellow talisman appeared in his hand. He made a hand gesture and exhaled, and the yellow talisman burned, with green smoke curling around.

Suddenly, a strong energy gathered on the sword blade, carrying with it an innate fire energy, and the people around suddenly felt hot and unbearable.

When Li Yan saw this, he felt a chill in his heart.

He once heard from the demon catcher Hong Yasha in Chang'an that he and his master had seen a real swordsman in Mount Shu. The swordsman stood on the top of a mountain and with a single point of his sword, the monsters at the foot of the mountain would be killed. His power was extraordinary.

The methods of these two people cannot be considered as those of sword immortals.

They used martial arts, with the help of swords and magic weapons, to draw on the inner energy to attack. It can be said that they were more like masters of martial arts inner energy.

The two of them are not pure warriors, and their martial arts skills are between Hua Jin and Dan Jin, but the fact that they can achieve this through martial arts is extraordinary.

laugh!
The Taoist withered wood was the first to take action. He swung his sword backhand and a sharp aura whizzed out.

Even the ground was marked by sword marks left by the strong energy, and dirt and rocks were scattered everywhere.

Chongxuzi also swung his sword upwards.

Clang!
The sound of weapons clashing rang out in the air.

Immediately, strong winds howled around and sand flew everywhere.

Chongxuzi groaned and took a half step back.

Although he was not injured, he was obviously at a disadvantage. The dead tree flipped his hand again, and the sword light swept across, forcing the old Taoist Chongxuzi to take it head-on. Although he blocked it, he retreated again and again.

"Hahaha…"

The dead tree laughed loudly and roared: "When I entered the sect, you stood on top, full of vigor and ambition, and looked down on me, but now you are old, and I have gone further!"

"fart!"

Chongxuzi also cursed: "If I hadn't injured my heart meridian, you wouldn't have been able to be so arrogant. Also, you are seeking death by using evil methods to control the righteous law!"

At this time, anyone could see that something was wrong with the dead tree.

His face became ferocious, his eyes turned blood red, veins bulged on his face, and he was filled with evil energy. He didn't look like a human at all.

After seeing this, Li Yan was also a little confused.

This person was obviously possessed by the evil spirit of the demon lord Ma Sandong.

But what surprised Li Yan was that the old Taoist had not lost his mind and showed no signs of being possessed.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Although he didn't know the reason, he would not just sit there and wait.

"Do it!"

With a low growl, he immediately took out his flintlock rifle.

"Hahaha…"

However, Ku Mu had already noticed it, and with a burst of sword energy, he forced Chongxuzi back. At the same time, he turned around and turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

Bang!
Lu San raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

But rocks from the cave wall flew everywhere and he missed.

Shadow Escape!

Li Yan didn't expect to see this escape method again many years later.

Perhaps it was the effect of demonic energy, the shadow escape performed by this old Taoist withered wood was even more mysterious than the assassin in Chang'an back then.

As soon as Lu San finished firing, the opponent appeared behind him, jumped out from the shadows, and stabbed Lu San with a sword.

clang!
Li Yan moved just as quickly. He took a step back and swung his Dust-Breaking Sword diagonally, just blocking the opponent's sword.

At the same time, the woman from the Bai family who was following behind Lu San also drew her sword and stabbed the old Taoist in the back.

"Humph!"

The old Taoist withered wood snorted coldly, suddenly inhaled and arched his back.

Black smoke suddenly came out of the Taoist robe behind him, and after several swords pierced into it, it was bent.

With the help of evil spirit, this old Taoist priest can actually use a method similar to divine fighting.

At the same time, he also made sword gestures with his hands, and the sword was surrounded by aura, trying to break Li Yan's Duanchen Sword.

But Li Yan's movements were faster than his.

Zizi!

Suddenly, an arc of electricity jumped on the Dust-Breaking Sword.

A yang thunder stored in the twelve Yuanchen coins suddenly exploded.

The yang thunder and the strong energy collided, making a clanging sound.

At the same time, Li Yan's soul-catching rope also whizzed out.

The old Taoist with deep sense of alarm grew strong, and he quickly stepped back, with black smoke coming out of his body, as he tried to use Shadow Escape to escape.

But he was too close, and although he ran fast, he was hooked by the bird claws in front of the soul-catching rope.

The women of the Bai family and the disciples of Qingniu Temple could not see it, but they saw Li Yan pull the old Taoist with dead wood in mid-air, and he was pulled out of the black fog, and his body was stiff.

At the same time, Li Yan once again stimulated a yang thunder.

Zizi!

The Dust-Breaking Sword flashed with lightning and whizzed out.

puff!

The blade pierced through his forehead and went through the back of his head.

Thunder roared and black smoke spread.

After all, the old Taoist Ku Mu didn't know Li Yan's methods, and was beaten to death.

laugh!
Li Yan drew his knife and the corpse fell to the ground with a bang.

But he ignored it, changed the hand seals with his left hand, and used the Heavenly Thunder Hammer to press on the hilt of the knife to complete the two yang thunders.

Chongxuzi was secretly surprised.

At first he just thought that Li Yan was just relying on his identity as a living ghost messenger, but this kind of method is not something that an ordinary person can use.

"Hee hee hee…"

Just then, the children's laughter was heard.

A female disciple of the Bai family suddenly turned bloodshot in the eyes, turned the sword in her hand around, and stabbed at her companions.

It was Li Yanyang's thunder that killed the soul of the old Taoist withered wood, but the evil spirit hidden in it spread to other people.

clang!
Long Yan'er next to him also reacted very quickly. She swung her sword and raised her hand to block. At the same time, she stepped forward, pressed the opponent's wrist with her left hand, and flipped it hard.

This is a grappling technique. Generally speaking, the pain plus the twisting of the joints will cause the opponent to be turned away and restrained.

However, Long Yan'er had already exerted her strength, and the Bai family woman's wrist joints were twisted and crackling, but she remained motionless.

"Hee hee hee…"

She smiled strangely and tilted her head.

It's like a naughty child playing with others.

Looking at those blood-red pupils, Long Yaner felt a chill in her heart.

Before she could react, a stream of black smoke came out of the other person's body and he pounced directly towards her.

Click!

A string of beads on Long Yaner's chest suddenly shattered.

This is a Gu cult amulet.

The black smoke was bounced away and was about to pounce on another person.

"Step aside!"

It turned out that Taoist Chongxu had already arrived. He made some hand gestures, held the yellow talisman, and slapped it with his palm, directly hitting the black smoke.

Call ~
The wind howled, and a sweet and fishy smell spread everywhere.

The black smoke was dispersed, and everyone felt dizzy, chest tightness and nausea. Fortunately, the medicine in their stomachs contained the poison in time.

"The demon is dead?"

Long Yaner asked with lingering fear.

"No."

Li Yan looked at the cave entrance and said in a deep voice: "Ma Sandong's demonic energy is hidden in the air bag of human skin. That is his true body. If it is not broken, these scattered demonic energy will only continue to flow."

"Let's go, be careful."

After saying that, he took the lead and entered the cave.

The crowd followed closely behind, and some people lit torches.

The cave was deep and the firelight flickered.

“There are pictures on the wall!”

After walking a few steps, everyone noticed something strange.

I saw some ancient murals on the surrounding stone walls. I didn’t know what kind of pigments they were, but the colors were still bright.

Li Yan was also a little surprised when he saw it.

The lines of these murals are simple and ancient, similar to the ancient tribal murals that have been seen before.

Although it is simple, it tells a story.

The little man in the mural catches a wild beast, and while kneeling down, he cuts up the beast and eats its flesh and blood raw.

Afterwards, the little man became much bigger and had the characteristics of a wild beast, leading the tribe to capture more wild beasts...

"This is ancient witchcraft."

Long Yan'er looked a little surprised. "My master once said that the ancient witchcraft can eat wild beasts and monsters, and use the power of ghosts and gods to bless them. This is the source of today's magic."

"But due to the numerous hidden dangers, even the most secluded tribes in Miao Territory no longer use this technique."

After hearing this, Li Yan frowned and looked into the depths of the cave.

There is something wrong with the demon Ma Sandong's condition.

Could it be that he was wrong, and the master of Qingniu Temple actually wanted to eat some demons and replace them?
