Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 609 There's another way to fight!
"You filthy Taoist priest! With the blood moon shining bright, and your magic power halved, you still dare to come and die!"

Immediately following was Yan Chixia's powerful and furious shout: "Stop your arrogance, you fiend! Good will never prevail over evil!"

Fang Yu ignored her and grinned at Xiaoqian: "My team isn't afraid of any alien tyrants anymore." He casually made a shooting gesture, "These monsters that can be dealt with by just shooting are nothing, but when we encounter things like Sadako crawling out of the TV or Kayako crawling on people's backs to kill us..." He suddenly leaned closer to Xiaoqian's pale face, "You, the female ghost, are more effective than anything! Just tear them apart."

Xiaoqian nodded slightly, "Young master, are you sure it's not for anything else? What does '册' mean?"

Fang Yu tilted his head. "What book? Did I say that?"

Just as the two continued arguing, a deafening roar and a burst of blood-red light erupted outside the window! Xiaoqian trembled with fear, "Oh no! I forgot that tonight is the start of the Blood Moon!"

"What is a blood moon?" Fang Yu naturally knew that the so-called blood moon was actually an increased difficulty in the way the main god changed his words, but he still wanted to know what would happen during a blood moon.

"The Blood Moon is... I can't explain it clearly! In short, Grandma's magical power will greatly increase! The Gates of Hell will open wide, and many demons and monsters will appear! I've also heard that the Black Mountain Demon's ghostly soldiers will clear the way."

Fang Yu laughed, thinking that the main god really knew how to patch things up. With this, there was no need to go to the underworld to find the Black Mountain Demon; they could just run into him in the mortal realm.

Yan Chixia stepped on the Seven Star Steps, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst out with dazzling golden light. Where the sword blade passed, the vines that were attacking the sky were struck as if by lightning and exploded into a sky full of foul-smelling juice!
"The Way, the Way, the Way, the Way!"

The bearded Taoist priest, his unruly hair standing on end like a lion's mane, pointed his sword at the sky and roared: "Taiyi Exorcising Spell to Slay Demons and Protect the Body!"

In an instant, thirty-six golden talismans burst forth from the sky, forming an eight-trigram array in mid-air.

Suddenly, thick black smoke billowed from the thousand-year-old locust tree where Grandma was hiding, and a distorted old woman's face was revealed where the bark had peeled away!

"You stinking Taoist priest!" A piercing shriek came from underground, and the entire land suddenly surged like waves as hundreds of blood vines burst forth from the earth! Each vine was adorned with a skull, and ghostly green flames flickered in its empty eye sockets.

Yan Chixia bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood that shot onto the sword: "Heaven and Earth are boundless, the universe borrows its power!"

The Xuanyuan Sword suddenly shone with a golden light that was three zhang long, and when it slashed down, it even brought out the sound of a dragon's roar!

The blood vines in the front row snapped instantly, and the skulls suddenly broke free of the vines, lunging at the Taoist priest like locusts!

"A mere trick!" Yan Chixia tossed out a handful of copper coins, which instantly transformed into golden-armored celestial soldiers upon landing.

He suddenly made a hand seal and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already running against the current on the main trunk of the locust tree, his sword aimed straight at the ghost face in the center of the trunk!
"boom--!"

Grandma screamed and spat out a dark green poisonous mist. Suddenly, the desolate grave outside the temple exploded, and dozens of skeletons spontaneously assembled into a three-zhang-tall skeletal giant, which swung up the tombstone and smashed it!

Yan Chixia somersaulted in mid-air to dodge, but his Taoist robe was corroded with several large holes by the poisonous mist.

He laughed in fury: "You old hag! Let's go again!"

After several rounds, the golden light of Yan Chixia's Xuanyuan Sword gradually dimmed, and his Taoist robe was torn to shreds by the blood vines. When the three-zhang-tall skeletal giant swung the tombstone down again, he staggered and used his sword to block it, but was so shocked that his tiger's mouth burst open, and he staggered back three steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Despite Yan Chixia's beating, Fang Yu remained calm. He turned to look at the opposite room and asked curiously, "With such a commotion outside, why isn't anyone making a sound? What are all these people doing?"

Xiaoqian's white silk ribbon suddenly wrapped around Fang Yu's wrist: "Young master, run! Granny has absorbed the essence of the Blood Moon, and Big Beard can't defeat her. Run for your life!"

"This is exactly what we've been waiting for!" Fang Yu suddenly sprang up, leaping out of the temple and arriving in front of Yan Chixia!

"Young Master!" Xiaoqian gritted her teeth anxiously, wondering if she should sacrifice her life to save Fang Yu. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the skeletal giant squarely!

"Rumble--"

The skeletal giant summoned by Grandma was instantly cleaved into dust, leaving Grandma wide-eyed in shock! A voice from both the yin and yang sides roared in unison, "You're asking for death! You're asking for death!"

"Lightning magic?!" Yan Chixia's eyes widened as she stared at Fang Yu's retreating figure. "How can you use lightning magic at such a young age? Who is your master?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back violently. A ten-zhang-long spike shot out from where he had been standing!

"Senior, why are you still checking sects at a time like this?" Fang Yu cleared a path with lightning, turning the blood vines in his wake into charred remains. "You're a Taoist priest, not a comedian. Why do you care about sects?" With that, he suddenly threw Yan Chixia into the broken window of the scripture hall and then flicked out a bolt of lightning!

"Ten Thousand Thunderbolts!" Rumble—

Thunder roared from the sky! Lightning crackled around the entire area surrounding Lanruo Temple, with countless bolts of lightning striking down, causing the land outside the temple to churn and boil! Countless demons and monsters hidden underground were forced out by the lightning, screaming as they turned to ashes.

Rotting corpses, white bone demons, and evil spirits twisted and howled in the lightning, the air filled with the stench of burning and fish.

The thousand-year-old locust tree where Grandma was hiding trembled violently, and the old woman's face on the trunk twisted and deformed: "You little beast!" it shrieked, and the trunk suddenly split open, spraying out a cloud of blood mist.

Within the blood mist, countless vines, like venomous snakes, burrowed deep into the earth!
"Tsk, you ran fast." Fang Yu shook his numb wrist, and the lightning gradually dissipated from his fingertips.

He turned around and kicked open the dilapidated gate of Lanruo Temple, but the scene before him made the veins on his forehead throb.

The newlyweds lay sprawled on the ground, their faces flushed, muttering obscene and vulgar words.

Zhang Mingzheng was hugging and rubbing against the pillar, while Zhou Mingxuan had even unbuckled his belt halfway. The most outrageous one was Zheng Zha, who was lying sprawled on the ground, clutching half a vine as if it were a magic wand, and muttering "Loli."

"Fuck you!" Fang Yu strode forward and kicked Zheng Zha right in the chest!
"Ouch!" Zheng Zha suddenly sat up, clutching his chest and looking around blankly: "Why does my chest hurt?"

"Sleep paralysis," Fang Yu lied without batting an eye, turning to glare at Li Yingqi, who was leaning against the window.

The female cultivator still had a calming talisman burning on her fingertip, clearly indicating she had remained fully conscious throughout: "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Li Yingqi slowly dusted off her white robe: "I believe the captain can stop Grandma outside." She glanced at Xiaoqian floating behind Fang Yu, a sharp glint flashing in her almond-shaped eyes: "Someone has to guard these people with weak wills."

Fang Yu turned around following her gaze and met Xiaoqian's fingers nervously twisting her sleeves. The female ghost had restrained her demonic aura at this moment, and her pale face was set off by her plain white dress, which made her look quite pitiful.

"Ahem, well," Fang Yu scratched his head, "our team has a cultivator now." He pointed to Li Yingqi, then to Zhan Lan, whose fangs were faintly visible in the corner, "and a zombie." Finally, his gaze swept over Zheng Zha, who was wiping blood from his nose, "and a vampire."

"I am a vampire!" Zheng Zha protested.

"Shut up!" Fang Yu glared at the uncooperative Zheng Zha, then turned to Li Yingqi and grinned: "Isn't the team missing a female ghost? She's a perfect match! In the future, when we encounter supernatural movies, we can't let Zhan Lan go head-to-head with Kayako, can we? Zombies can't hit female ghosts."

Li Yingqi stared at him for three seconds, then turned to Xiaoqian. "Welcome to the team," she said, her expression suddenly turning cold. "However, if I discover you're absorbing your teammates' yang energy, Heavenly Fencing will cost you a hundred years of cultivation!"

Xiaoqian nodded blankly, only then realizing that the team she would be facing in the future seemed to be not very harmonious.

Only then did Li Yingqi notice the limping, bearded man bouncing around the doorway. "Who is he?"

Fang Yu replied, "Look at you, all you've done for the past seven days is lie in bed, haven't you even glanced at the original novel?"

Li Yingqi rolled her eyes at Fang Yu, thinking to herself that she wanted to see it, but did she have the time?

Seeing Li Yingqi's expression, Fang Yu explained, "Yan Chixia, the successor of the Xuanyuan Sword, is quite capable. Strictly speaking, the movie weakened him. If it were based on the original novel, Grandma would be instantly killed by him upon meeting him."

After introducing Yan Chixia, Fang Yu winked at Li Yingqi.

His lips clearly said "learn from others".

Yan Chixia, who was pressing on his bleeding thigh, looked at Li Yingqi and gave him a Taoist salute. Li Yingqi returned the salute, which was considered a greeting.

Yan Chixia glanced outside and said, "I really don't know why you people came to Lanruo Temple during the Blood Moon. Now we can only guard this place until dawn!"

Fang Yu patted Yan Chixia on the shoulder, "There's another way to fight."

Yan Chixia was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Fang Yu walked to the door and kicked open the door that Zhang Ming had just secured. "Get out!"
