After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 221 220. All the demons are dead, only I am free (6.5K words - big chapter, please subscribe)
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yan opened his eyes in the dimly lit Zen temple. The Bodhi tree in his heart had been consolidated, and the eighteen demon monks became his slaves, at his disposal.

He glanced at the Buddhist shrine on the side. There was a red silk bag on the shrine to cover the dust, and underneath it was a Buddha statue with a blurry face.

The scripture stand was empty, and on the side was a loose and luxurious couch, with a bewitching incense next to it.

The eighteen evil monks whispered to each other, some said "How can the abbot be without a beautiful woman", some said "There is not even good wine and fat meat, it is really blaspheming my Buddha", and some shouted "Kill, kill, kill a few people to cheer up the abbot, there is not even a human head urinal in this room, it is really shabby, how can it be worthy of the abbot".
"Shut up."

The noisy whispers that were buzzing like flies suddenly stopped.

Silence returned to the Zen room.

Song Yan scanned the panel.

As he completed the upgrade of "Four Noble Truths Demonic Monk" and became "Bodhi Abbot", his panel changed again.

"Xiao Tiandao Text - Introduction" (23/100)

"Little Tiandao Text - Sacrifice" (30/100)

"Little Tiandao Text——?" ? 》

He stared at the word "祭" and fell into deep thought.

He remembered that at first, a mysterious and obscure Heavenly Dao character appeared around him. Later, he was the first to separate "Yin" from this mysterious Heavenly Dao character, and then the Heavenly Dao character became simpler.

Now, he brought up the word "sacrifice", and the Heavenly Dao characters became even simpler, until Song Yan felt that this should also be an independent Heavenly Dao character.

Obviously, the Heavenly Dao text he saw at first was not a single word, but three words mixed together. Now he got the word "Yin" from "The Law of Dragon Burial" and the word "Ji" from the Heavenly Demon, and the remaining word was his own.

"Yin" means to gather the mystery.

If he follows the instructions, he will most likely be on the path paved for him by the master of this world.

This path may be extremely glorious and more noble than the ancient gods of the past, but is it his path?
As for "sacrifice", Song Yan thought of the scene where the Fire Demon Dragon raised its claws to absorb his blood and became stronger. That was a sacrifice, sacrificing blood and flesh to strengthen oneself.

If he follows the word sacrifice, he will be on the road to the devil and there will be no return.

This path, is to give up everything, sink into the sea of ​​suffering, and then participate in the doomsday carnival of one world after another, striving to sit at the dining table to feast on the common people. Is this his path?

No.

neither.

When Song Yan first crossed the sea of ​​suffering, all he hoped for was to reach the other side as soon as possible and enter a new realm.

But now, he realized that the process is more important than the destination.

Compared to others who only understood one natal character, he had three.

But more is not necessarily better. How can being proficient in all eighteen martial arts compare to the fatal blow of a peerless swordsman?
At this moment, he felt a sense of burden.

Song Yan thought for a moment, with determination in his eyes. He stood up, pushed open the Zen door, then pushed open the temple door, and walked out.

There is no time in the sea of ​​suffering, and there is no such thing as waiting.

When Song Yan went in, there were the Demon Mother and the Demon Dragon outside. When he came out, they were still there.

call.
Gulp, gulp.
Bubbles from the bitter sea quickly rose.

During this period, the obsession of the bitter sea was attracted by the soul of life and rushed over madly, greedily pressing towards Song Yan, but it was held up by the shield of the Xuanlong Sword's divine thoughts, and could only lie densely on the shield.

"Oh, husband, you are indeed from my Buddhist sect." The Demon Mother looked at Song Yan in amazement. As a life form in the sea of ​​suffering and a member of the Buddhist system, it could easily smell the scent of the black robe on Song Yan. But then, it snorted coldly, "It's a pity that your six senses are not pure. You have become the abbot of Bodhi Temple, but you still want to keep that stinking skin."

There was a cunning flash in the Fire Dragon's eyes. From the words of the Demon Mother, it had understood that the man in front of it had successfully advanced to the "Abbot of Bodhi" after entering the Kuhai Buddhist sect.

Abbot Bodhi is an existence at the same corrupt thought level as it and the Nine-Child Demon Mother.

However, being in a sea of ​​suffering wearing a bag of flesh and blood is like wearing shackles and destroying one's own martial arts, and will greatly weaken one.

The Demon Mother smiled and looked at Song Yan, and said, "Although you hurt me, as long as you completely become the abbot of Bodhi Temple, we can still resolve our hatred. After all, it is rare to have such a fate in the bitter sea of ​​Buddhism. At that time, you and I will be a pair of celestial fairy mandarin ducks in the pure land of Buddhism, screaming and lusting all day long, and then go to the human world together to sacrifice to the common people. Isn't it beautiful?"

The Fire Demon Dragon did not launch an attack, but said in a muffled voice: "You killed my fourth brother, and I am looking for you to avenge him. Since you are also my kind in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, then quickly shed this body and merge into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and our grudge will be wiped out."

Song Yan glanced at the Demon Mother.

The Demon Mother looked at him seductively.

Song Yan glanced at the Fire Dragon again.

The Fire Dragon looks like a man of great loyalty and righteousness.

"Ah"

Song Yan couldn't help it, his mouth curled up, and then he burst into laughter "Hahahaha".

Bang!
He broke out, suspended in mid-air, and swung his arm slightly. A drop of water on the sword flew down along the tip of the sword. He lowered his head and smiled grimly, "The demons are kind and affectionate. Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"

As the words fell, the Demon Mother and the Fire Dragon both laughed strangely.

The Fire Demon Dragon said in a muffled voice: "I said I couldn't fool him."

The Demon Mother said, "Let's give it a try. What if he really believes it?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the three shadows continued to fight each other.

The water from the bitter sea invaded frantically, and balls of devil dragon fire exploded under the gray sky; the Demon Mother became more cautious after losing one lock, and only when Song Yan was exhausted did she poke her head out from the waves to harass him. She was swift and quick, and would escape into the water if she missed her attack.

Song Yan possessed the power of "Abbot Bodhi", but unfortunately the Eighteen Demon Monks were not too much of a threat to the Fire Demon Dragon and the Demon Mother, especially the Fire Demon Dragon. He was the "big brother" among the Bitter Sea Dragon Clan, so how could he take the demon monks seriously?
However, because of the increase in the power of his divine consciousness, Song Yan's situation was much better than before. At least he had a stronger ability to resist the devil dragon's fire. Even though he was burned by the fire, the wound that was originally unhealable was much better than before. At least, it was like an ordinary abrasion, with flesh and blood oozing out of the snow, but it was no longer bleeding.

However, after a long fight, the smell of flesh and blood attracted the demons in the obsession layer like sharks. They were lurking in the ocean currents of the obsession layer, spying on Song Yan's body that exuded powerful life energy. As long as that body showed a little fatigue, they would take his life and eat him up.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness is not a battlefield for human cultivators.

Who wouldn't be trembling and cautious when crossing the Sea of ​​Bitterness? It was really rare in this world for someone like Song Yan to be targeted by two monsters of the Corruption Level in the Sea of ​​Bitterness and coveted by countless monsters of the Obsession Level.

Unless one has already escaped from the state of transformation, no one can escape from the siege of so many divine creatures in the sea of ​​suffering.

When you encounter this kind of situation, it generally means you have no chance of achieving the great path.

laugh!
The raging black fire brushed past Song Yan's shoulder, bringing up a cloud of blood.

This was the most serious injury Song Yan had suffered since the battle.

The Fire Dragon looked at the flying blood and raised its claws with a grim smile.

Small words of the Heavenly Dao flashed between the scales on the claws.

The words appeared in an instant, and then the blood that Song Yanfei had shed disappeared.

But then, the Fire Dragon showed a look of surprise.

It did not retract its dragon claws, but instead looked up at the injured man not far away.

Song Yan was raising his left hand with his five fingers spread out, and there were the same small Heavenly Dao characters on his palm.

The body is weak, but the mind is strong.

Looking at the Fire Demon Dragon's gaze, Song Yan snorted coldly: "My flesh and blood, I will sacrifice myself!"

After saying that, without waiting for the Fire Dragon to say anything else, he drew his sword and rushed forward.

The Fire Dragon was unable to retreat and had several scales cut off by the sword.

A strange scene appeared in the sea of ​​suffering.

A figure with blood and flesh flying everywhere, like a blood demon, becoming stronger and stronger as the battle goes on.

During this process, Song Yan could clearly see that his progress in practicing "Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Introduce" was rapidly declining, while his progress in "Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Sacrifice" was rapidly increasing.
The figure floating in the void of the bitter sea was no longer monotonous and independent, but changed from time to time, like overlapping light and shadow, over and over again. In the previous moment, he was a brave and fierce blood-stained swordsman, and in the next moment he became a black-robed monk with red lips and white teeth.

It’s just that the former’s appearance is becoming increasingly dim, while the latter’s appearance is beginning to appear more frequently.

Bang! !

The evil dragon's fire worked again, hitting Song Yan, causing his body full of holes to spurt out blood like an arrow.

This time, it was obvious that the Fire Dragon used so much strength that Song Yan's body stiffened in mid-air.

The Demon Mother never missed this opportunity. Four locks shot out from the water again, locking Song Yan's limbs. She pulled suddenly, but failed to move!

Song Yan ignored the Demon Mother behind him and opened his arms with his ten fingers raised in the air.

The ejected blood was sacrificed once again.

Looking at his body which was already riddled with holes and extremely cumbersome, Song Yan suddenly clenched his fingers.

Bang! !

The body was shattered.

The progress of "Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Introduction" was reset to zero and disappeared completely.

This flesh and blood was immediately sacrificed madly and all turned into divine power.

At the same time, the progress of "Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Sacrifice" has also become (53/100)

The Demon Mother Chains that had bound Song Yan's limbs a moment ago were now locked on the black-robed monk's limbs.

If the body is emitting "life energy" that attracts the demons, then the "soul" is what the demons are tirelessly pursuing.

Song Yan had lost his flesh and blood body, and his soul was no longer concealed. The coveted demons around him became more and more greedy, thinking that if they could possess such a powerful soul, wouldn't it be a step to heaven?
Even the Fire Dragon is the same.

In its opinion, this soul is much stronger than Tang Changsheng's back then.

Only such a soul is worthy of it.

Revenge for the fourth brother was not its purpose at all. It just knew from the fourth brother that such a powerful soul was about to cross the sea of ​​suffering, so it had been waiting.

clap clap!

Song Yan suddenly clenched his hands and grabbed the Demon Mother's shackles.

The Demon Mother was stunned.

The next moment, a strange force came.

The Demon Mother only felt herself rising into the air, and in the next moment she was face to face with Song Yan.

"My lady, the karma between you and me should end now."

Song Yan suddenly hugged the Demon Mother, and all his strength surged towards the Demon Mother. The weak Demon Mother immediately began to crumble.

Click.
A shackle broke.

Song Yan raised his hand and grabbed it, refining it in an instant.

Click.
Another shackle broke.

Song Yan continued to refine.

With the refining, the progress of "Small Heavenly Dao Characters - Sacrifice" is also advancing rapidly.

The Fire Dragon reacted, and this time it did not spit fire again. Instead, karmic fire burned all over its body, and then turned into a deep red rainbow like a punishment from heaven and crashed towards Song Yan.

Song Yan glanced at her and dodged while holding the struggling demon mother.

The Fire Dragon swung its tail and twisted its body again in an incredible way. Its head passed by Song Yan who was dodging it, revealing a mocking and ferocious look, and its fire dragon body followed suit.

Song Yan knew her purpose was to entangle him, then slowly soften the karma on his body with the fire of karma, and then forcibly occupy his soul. He suddenly let go of the demon mother and jumped out.

Without his body and without the shackles, his soul and spiritual power became more flexible.

Snapped!
The Fire Dragon entangled the Demon Mother, but then let go.

There is no point in demons killing each other unless they complement each other.

Because of the King of Henchmen's Shabao and Yu Shou's Daoguo, Song Yan possessed the two demonic powers of "Demon Monk" and "Demon Mother", and was already an outlier.

The second demon mother was still in shock. She looked up at Song Yan in the sky, who was wearing a black robe with eight floating locks. There was no longer the look of the original hunter in her eyes, but panic instead.

It could fully feel that it had almost been swallowed by the black-robed Song Yan. At this moment, the voice that had frightened it sounded again.

"Lady."

Whoosh!
The second demon mother didn't listen any more and turned around and ran away.

However, Song Yan chased after him madly.

The fire dragon swung its tail and chased after it.

Suddenly, the fight changed from one man fighting two demons to a chase between three.

For Song Yan, it doesn't matter where the end is. He has to kill the Demon Mother first. This is not only necessary to resolve the cause and effect, but also because he has to refine the Demon Mother before he can go further and truly fight against the Fire Dragon and the harsh environment of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and then seek a glimmer of hope for survival.

But the Fire Dragon would always try to swallow him up when he was attacking the Demon Mother, which made the three of them playing games almost all the time.

Three black lights swept past madly, bringing with them more and more covetous people.

The sea of ​​suffering was changing, and Song Yan no longer knew where he was.

No one could imagine that in this extremely monotonous sea of ​​suffering, which is always in black and white, there is an island with red flowers and green trees.

The sea water around the island was surprisingly normal blue, and the many obsessions that came here were quickly purified, thus appearing clear.

Over time, this island seemed out of place in this world.

No creatures in the sea of ​​suffering were willing to set foot on this strange island that made them uncomfortable.

This is a secret deep in the sea of ​​suffering. No one knows it except some old demons that have existed since the creation of the world.

Whoosh!
The Second Demon Mother flew across the sea and saw the island with red flowers and green trees in the distance. She turned her head and said, "Boy, come here if you have the guts."

Soon, it rushed directly onto the island.

As soon as it landed, the Second Demon Mother felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling of nausea. She suppressed the nausea and continued to move forward.

And a figure descended from the sky and hugged him tightly from behind.

Song Yan's voice rang in the ears of the Second Demon Mother.

"My dear, if we said we'll be together forever, then we have to be together forever."

Bang!
The two shackles of the second demon mother shattered.

People also fall apart.

It turned its head, trying to see the man behind it clearly. All the causes and effects between it and the man emerged in its mind. It remembered that at the beginning, this man was just a little guy who needed to be vigilant against the lying monk at the obsession level.

When did he grow to such a terrifying level?
Bang!
Song Yan hugged the Second Demon Mother and crushed her to pieces. He activated his all-knowing wisdom and refined it in an instant. The floating shackles behind him also increased from eight to nine.

It can be said that he is now both the "Abbot of Bodhi" and the "Demon Mother of Nine Sons".

During this interruption, the Fire Dragon had already entangled him and successfully locked him up.

The Fire Dragon kept wrapping around and tightening, and its scales and the Demon Mother Locks on Song Yan's body and the Bodhi tree rubbed against each other frantically, making a sharp sound that would make ordinary obsessions collapse.

For a moment, Song Yan was unable to move.

The Fire Demon Dragon's giant skull looked down at him and exclaimed, "You refine it really fast."

Song Yan watched him and the Fire Demon Dragon entangled together, like a snipe and a clam fighting each other, so he said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that others will benefit?"

The Fire Demon Dragon said, "It took a lot of effort to catch you. I won't let you go no matter what you say."

After saying that, it rolled its eyes and said, "Unless you and I are completely united, like my fourth brother and Tang Changsheng, you are the master of the soul and I am the master of the mind. You are quite powerful, I have to admit that you are qualified to be worthy of me."

Song Yan snorted coldly.

He simply sat cross-legged and let the fire dragon wrap around him.

I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly a refreshing breeze blew from the center of the island.

At this blow, the Fire Dragon's tightly wrapped body paused.

Song Yan also opened his eyes immediately.

He could feel that this breeze was of great benefit to humans, but was like poison to demons.

There are many secrets in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, as can be seen from the fact that he was stuck with white stones when he was rolling on the beach.

"It's very weird here. You'd better admit defeat, otherwise we will all die." The Fire Dragon suddenly said.

Song Yan grinned and said grimly, "Are you scared?"

The Fire Dragon also laughed strangely, "Are you afraid?"

Song Yan smiled and said, "Don't even think about running away. Let's die together."

The Fire Demon Dragon laughed and said, "Let's die together. Let's see how long you can hold out."

After a while, the mysterious breeze continued to blow.

The fire dragon shuddered and its smile disappeared.

Song Yan also began to feel inexplicably cold.

At the same time, he felt that the progress of "Small Heavenly Words - Sacrifice" was going backwards.
He felt right.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the progress of his "Small Heavenly Words - Sacrifice" also changed from "(60/100)" to "(59/100)".

What he had gained was being lost, but Song Yan did not feel any pain. Instead, he felt an indescribable relief. It was the relief that the last cage was fading away.

His mind suddenly moved and he glanced at the panel.

On the panel, the last mysterious and unknown small word of heaven actually had a look of being gestated.

This can be said to be a blessing in disguise, a life in the face of death.

"I won't die with you!" The Fire Demon Dragon suddenly cursed, then let go of the dragon body that was wrapped around Song Yan, wanting to evacuate quickly.

But as soon as the Fire Dragon moved, he found that he could not move.

When it looked again, it couldn't help but feel shocked and angry, because Song Yan's Nine Locks were locking it tightly, preventing it from leaving!

The Fire Demon Dragon said angrily, "Do you really want to die? You locked me up. If there is anything else on this island, it will be its lucky chance! Let go!"

Song Yan laughed and said, "Do you think I'm kidding?"

There was no way he could let go.

The Fire Demon Dragon is probably the most powerful existence among all the life forms in the corrupted thoughts layer of the Bitter Sea. Compared to it, the Yin-Yang Dragon is just a little baby.

The evil dragon's karma fire and the karma fire dragon's body, these powers are already extremely terrifying.

If he lets go of the Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon will ambush him outside the island.

Unless he gave up his soul and completely transformed into a life in the sea of ​​suffering with only spiritual thoughts, there was no way he could escape.

The sea of ​​suffering is not a place for the fighting between flesh and blood beings and souls.

But Song Yan could also feel that if he really abandoned his soul, it would be tantamount to suicide, and then he would completely turn himself into a monster with only thoughts.

How could he possibly let go?

Moreover, although the mysterious breeze coming from the center of the island was slashing his demonic power, it gave him a feeling that his soul was about to break free from the shackles.

He didn't know what the future held, but he was determined to find out.

In this life, he had no choice and was always pushed by cause and effect.

Now he has to make a choice.

"release!"

"release!!"

The fire dragon struggled frantically.

Song Yan looked at it with a smile and said, "Why don't you smile? Smile. A smile makes you look ten years younger."

"Let me go!" The Fire Dragon spewed out a mouthful of evil fire.

Song Yan did not move at all, but continued to laugh in the fire, saying: "Smile, be happy."

The Fire Dragon stared at the madman in amazement. For a moment, it couldn't even tell whether it was a monster or the man was a monster.
Song Yan looked up at the sky and said, "To be honest, I don't want this to happen at all."

The Fire Demon Dragon said: "Then let go!"

Song Yan said: "Initially, I wanted to be a sword cultivator. You know what a sword cultivator is, right? He is cool and handsome, has lovely junior sisters, cool and beautiful senior sisters, and an unfathomable master."

The Fire Dragon roared, "Then let go!"

Song Yan looked up, his expression filled with longing, and then said: "I just want to have a relationship with a junior sister or a senior sister, you know? I am actually an ordinary person, so I want to enjoy the fun that belongs to ordinary people."

The Fire Dragon listened to these words with his eyes wide open. He suddenly twisted his body wildly and shouted, "You lunatic! Lunatic! Let me go!"

Song Yan tried his best to lock the Fire Dragon.

During this process, the mysterious breeze blew from time to time, causing the scales on the Fire Dragon's body to begin to fade and the outline of the black-robed demon monk to begin to blur.

But no matter how blurry it was, he caught the Fire Dragon and would not let go.

"I swear, I swear to the devil, I won't touch you anymore. Let me go, I will leave now, go far away, and we will never meet again in this life!" said the Fire Dragon hurriedly.

Song Yan said: "Why are you in such a hurry? In a person's life, there is not much time to really slow down. It is better to enjoy it than to struggle. You see, I didn't get what I wanted, and my life is not what I really like."

The Fire Dragon roared, "Shut up!"

Song Yan asked: "Are you happy?"

The Fire Dragon roared, "Shut up!"

Song Yan said: "It seems that you are not happy either. If you could start over again, what would you like to be? Would you like to be a swordsman?"

The Fire Dragon roared, "Shut up!!"

Song Yan said: "If I become a sword cultivator, I just want to go to the secret realm with my junior sister, count the harvest, and be happy. Whoever wants to ask for the great way can ask for it, but I won't ask for this unfortunate thing."

The Fire Dragon suddenly began to spew out flames crazily, and the dragon scales all over its body began to burn fiercely.

Song Yan didn't care at all. He continued to babble in the fire, telling the horrible existence in the corrupt thoughts layer of the sea of ​​suffering about the life of cultivation that he longed for.

He was really tired and lonely. He really wanted to be a swordsman in white, surrounded by pure, energetic, responsible and hardworking companions. He didn't want to get involved in all these intrigues and schemes anymore.

Unfortunately, at this moment he is an extremely terrifying and treacherous existence in this sea of ​​demonic suffering.

The fire dragon struggled, and Song Yan locked it, but the mysterious breeze on the island kept blowing.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Yan and the Fire Dragon became increasingly faint and blurred.
Another breeze blew by.

Both of them drifted away like grains of sand and dust.

The crimson demon dragon turned to ashes, and Song Yan's bodies as "Abbot Bodhi" and "Nine-Child Demon Mother" also disappeared without a trace.

But there was still an outline on the lush green grass.

That is the pure outline of the soul,
The silhouette is sitting cross-legged with a sword across his knees.

The transparent hair moves in the wind, the face is clean and the temperament is free and easy.

The eyes suddenly opened.

The small heavenly word “祭” on the panel has also completely disappeared, replaced by “Small Heavenly Word – Freedom” (60/100).
