Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 138: Yaksha
boom!
As expected, the bear made a loud noise and its entire body swelled up and exploded. The loud noise of the explosion and the huge waves generated made the hair of the two people who were sitting on the ground and snuggling together fly, and their hands inadvertently blocked the strong wind.

"Thank you." Seeing that the danger was over, Zhao Yunge's eyes showed a rare shy expression.

"Where is that illusion?" Ye Beixuan asked softly.

For him, his purpose was simply to find the fragments. Everything else had nothing to do with him. Besides, no matter what he did, he could not change history.

Zhao Yunge shook his head and said, "I don't know. The situation here is completely unknown. Oh! Oh, by the way, Master gave me a map before he left."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ye Beixuan stared at the woman speechlessly. Really, sooner or later I will be killed by you.

"I forgot!" Then she took out the picture and muttered softly, "What's so fierce about it?"

As she spoke, she took out the map, which turned out to be a map drawn by the master of Tianji Pavilion himself after he went in to explore. It showed what treasures were there, how to avoid unnecessary battles at each level, and so on.

Ye Beixuan really wanted to crush this "cute" woman in front of him. She had forgotten such an important thing. Why had she taken it out earlier? Why did she have to work so hard to kill it? There was no need to fight the ghost and the bear.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Yunge's tone became extremely aggrieved, and he lost his composure, unconsciously relying on the handsome man in front of him.

"What should we do?" Ye Beixuan said, "We've already reached this point. Of course, we should continue to move in. According to the markings on the map, the illusion is still inside. I suspect the trapped people should be inside as well."

"The picture shows that the person in front seems to be a senior from my Tianji Pavilion. He was polluted because of his participation in suppressing the Blood Demon and was killed here. After his death, his resentment did not dissipate and he became a Yaksha Demon." Zhao Yunge said softly. She had deep feelings for the Tianji Pavilion and could not bear to see her senior suffer such torture.

"The picture shows that by using the Big Dipper Steps and following the guidance of the seven stars, you can bypass the Yaksha Demon." Ye Beixuan said, pointing to the picture.

"Yeah." Zhao Yunge nodded.

"I'm telling you!" Ye Beixuan said in a serious tone, "Don't move without permission. Follow the instructions in the diagram strictly. Yaksha is a very powerful ghost among all ghosts. If something goes wrong, not only will we not be able to save others, but we will also be in trouble."

Helplessly, the two of them walked forward slowly and carefully according to the map with a vigilant look on their faces.

"Eh!" Zhao Yunge asked doubtfully, "Something seems to be wrong."

"Why?" Ye Beixuan also vaguely felt that there was a problem. The two of them were indeed strictly following the instructions on the map, but something seemed to have changed here.

"Not good." Ye Beixuan immediately gripped the hilt of his sword and said, "Every time someone walks through this place, the formation will change. We need to recalculate and prepare for battle!"

Sure enough, the ground suddenly shook.

In the dim cave, a foul smell suddenly spread. Zhao Yunge subconsciously shrank behind Ye Beixuan. Suddenly, he felt that this was inappropriate, so he suppressed his numb scalp and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

At this moment, a creepy scream was heard, and a crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and a terrifying and twisted ghost that looked like a human appeared.

"Yaksha demon?"

This yaksha is more than two people tall and much larger than ordinary yakshas.

Its skin was a strange blood red, rough and covered with bumps, as if it had emerged from a pool of blood.

His blood-red eyes were filled with hatred towards the world, as well as murderousness and bloodlust.

The long fangs and canines in its mouth emitted a cold light, and its sharp claws flashed with cold light, like sharp daggers.

Zhao Yunge's face was pale, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "He looks so disgusting!" She tightly grasped the corner of Ye Beixuan's clothes, and her body trembled slightly.

Ye Beixuan gently patted Zhao Yunge's hand and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, just imagine him as a bandit."

Zhao Yunge's face froze. What a good idea! What's there to be afraid of bandits? So she closed her eyes and imagined the bandits being beaten by her. When she opened her eyes again, the Yaksha in front of her had become a bandit in her mind.

After thinking about this, Zhao Yunge immediately showed a happy expression and said, "He doesn't seem so scary anymore."

"Why... I am for all living beings? Why can't all living beings be for me?" Yaksha began to mutter to himself, as if asking others, or more likely asking himself.

"I don't want to die. I want to live well. I want to live forever. I want to be redeemed." As the Yaksha Demon spoke, two lines of blood and tears began to flow in his eyes, and his tone was so sad that it made people laugh.

Ye Beixuan stared at Yaksha and began to think rapidly in his mind. This Yaksha demon looked tall, but judging from his body shape, he should be a very agile and powerful monster.

Through his Yin-Yang eyes, he could vaguely see that he had two weaknesses: his brain and his heart. "Attack his heart and head," Ye Beixuan said in a deep voice, "those are his weaknesses."

"Okay." Zhao Yunge looked at his determined eyes and suddenly no longer hesitated.

A cold wind with a strong smell of blood swept over, and the Yaksha demon suddenly jumped first and attacked.

The battle was about to break out. A golden light flashed, and a sword pierced Yasha's heart at an incredible angle.

Ding. A crisp metallic sound was heard.

"This thing is so hard." Even Riyuan couldn't pierce it. It seems a bit tricky.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunge immediately stepped forward to help, attacking the forehead of the Yaksha Demon, trying to disrupt his rhythm and create an opportunity.

However, although the Yaksha demon was tall, his reaction was extremely quick. He swung his huge and hard claws and directly grasped the two swords. The two men suddenly felt as if their swords were clamped by iron pincers. They had no choice but to pull the swords back with force. The Yaksha demon's claws and swords made a "sizzling" sound of friction, and sparks flew.

At the same time, the Yaksha demon suddenly stomped his feet, and a powerful impact instantly made the arms of the two men numb, and even the Sun and Moon Swords almost flew out of their hands.

The two were shocked and fell back. Ye Beixuan thought about whether he should try to combine the two swords. The power of the two swords combined was huge, but he was not sure if he and she could do it. If they failed, it would be troublesome. So he hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "Combining the two swords."

The two swords joined forces, and the sword moves were impenetrable and continuous, but even so, the Yaksha demon's shell was like wearing armor. Every attack was like hitting a thick steel plate, making a sharp sound and flying sparks, but there was no substantial damage.

Ye Beixuan was considering whether to use the Evil-Slaying or Immortal-Slaying techniques. The Sun and Moon Swords were not as powerful as them if they were not combined.

On the other side, the secret room of Tianji Pavilion.

The secret room was covered with runes all around, and a transparent disc stood in the air in the center of the room, and the scene on the disc was exactly the battle scene between Zhao Yunge and Ye Beixuan.

"Senior brother, let's do it quickly!" The head of Jinghua Peak shouted anxiously.

The peak masters nearby also clenched their fists. They also didn't understand why the senior brother was so patient.

"Brother, they are the hope of the entire Tianji Pavilion. If anything goes wrong..."

"Wait a moment, and take a look at him." Master Xingkong frowned and looked at Ye Beixuan's calm and composed eyes in the middle of the plate.

"This"

the other side.

Although the Yaksha demon hadn't sustained any substantial damage, the repeated attacks had clearly inflamed him instinctively. He let out a deafening roar, the sharp sound creating a gust of wind that sent both of them reeling. Then, with a kick of his legs, his sharp claws, gleaming with a cold light, struck out.

The claw swords suddenly crossed each other, and sparks reflected Ye Beixuan's calm eyes. Zhao Yunge jumped behind him and used all his strength to pierce his heart with a sword.

With a crisp sound, Zhao Yunge gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his palms soaked with sweat. Yue Shuang was even pushed to the point of bending slightly, but it was still difficult to advance even a little.

The Yaksha Demon's defense was too strong. Both of them were injured, but it was still difficult to break through its defense. However, the slight pain from being stabbed in the heart made him go crazy again.

"The immortal way values life, the ghost way values death." The hoarse voice of the Yaksha demon suddenly came, and a blood-red color burst out from his whole body.

Ye Beixuan felt that although this fellow wasn't as strong as Hanba, he was still stronger than Zhao Yunhai, who would reach his peak five hundred years later. With a sigh, he said in a deep voice, "The two swords combined."

Zhao Yunge was stunned. She had not expected that Ye Beixuan would propose to join forces at this time. But if they did not join forces now, the two of them would not be able to withstand the Yaksha Demon at all.

Swish!
Without any hesitation, Zhao Yunge immediately got into position, and Ye Beixuan did the same.

the other side.

Everyone in the Tianji Pavilion looked at the Tianji Disk with serious expressions, and their expressions were more nervous than when they were facing their enemies.

"Are they going to combine their swords?" the Cangyun Peak Master asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely correct, Senior Brother, we should rescue them as soon as possible! These two have just met. If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous."

Master Xingkong was also extremely nervous, so he said in a deep voice: "Follow me to set up the Big Dipper formation."

The seven people formed a seven-in-one body, each performing their duties according to the positions of the seven stars. Seven rays of light suddenly shot onto the Tianji Disk. The Tianji Disk was no longer in the display hole, but immediately became extremely bright.

the other side.

Zhao Yunge looked up at him holding the Riyuan Sword, and the seed in his heart suddenly sprouted and began to grow.

Both sides felt the sword intent coming from each other's swords. They took a deep breath and began to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies. The light of a gold and a silver sword flashed, illuminating their faces.

Ye Beixuan held the Riyuan Sword and began to combine them as usual, but when he was trying to use all his spiritual power to merge with the Yueshuang Sword, he inexplicably hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, Zhao Yunge's heart tightened. At the moment when the spiritual power of the two swords merged, she clearly felt Ye Beixuan's hesitation.

In an instant, Zhao Yunge's body and mind began to feel a burning pain, and the repulsion of the two forces startled Ye Beixuan.

Zhao Yunge's whole body suddenly began to steam, and evil fire began to spread.

"It's over." Ye Beixuan looked at the painful Zhao Yunge with a wry smile, gritted his teeth, and held her in his arms. At the same time, one hand showed the evil-killing sword, and the other hand was absorbing the evil fire in her body.

call out!
Zhuxie attacked and instantly stabbed the Yaksha Demon's chest, but Zhuxie's blade only went in half way. Although it just hit the heart, it was still not deep enough. This shows how amazing the Yaksha Demon's defense was.

This knife aroused his ferocity even more. He pulled out the half-blood-stained Zhuxie and smashed it to the ground. Zhuxie emitted violent sparks, which frightened Ye Beixuan.

Feeling his body gradually cooling down and the backlash disappearing, Zhao Yunge leaned on Ye Beixuan's chest in a daze, looking at his profile, his face as sharp as a knife, his eyes firm.

Buzz!
Suddenly, a small disc flew out from Zhao Yunge's body and stood in the air, then emitted a blazing star power. The Yaksha Demon was illuminated by the white light, and the armor on his body was slowly dissolving.

The Yaksha demon, whose face was ferocious just now, suddenly showed a human expression and said, "Kill me quickly."

"what"

"Roar"

"Hurry up, I'm losing control of myself."

"The path of immortals is always auspicious, while the path of ghosts is always disastrous." The Yaksha demon kept chanting.

Ye Beixuan waved his hand casually, and Zhuxie returned to his hand. Then he took Riyuan in his hand and stabbed the sword at the gap that Zhuxie had just opened.

puff!

Riyuan blessed the Nanming Lihuo, and with the power of the scorching sun, it instantly destroyed the body of the Yaksha demon and burned the evil energy in his body.

His face gradually changed from ferocious to calm, and then returned to normal, revealing him to be an extremely handsome middle-aged man.

He suddenly sat cross-legged, chanting, "The heavens are vast and my Dao is flourishing."

"Thank you, my name is Xie Changtian." After saying that, his body turned into ashes.

"Hu" exhaled a breath of foul air, Ye Beixuan put Zhao Yunge on the ground, and he stood behind her to heal her wounds and eliminate the evil fire.

a long time.

The two of them had almost recovered, and Ye Beixuan said, "Can we walk now?"

"Why did the combination fail?" Zhao Yunge said gloomily.

Ah! Actually, Ye Beixuan himself didn't know. He and Li Xianglian had easily succeeded, so why did they fail? He just thought about it carefully and attributed the failure to the disorder of time and space.

But he couldn't just say this, so he just spoke in a bureaucratic tone, "Failure is common! You should be shocked if you don't fail once! Otherwise, why practice at all, don't you think?"

Seeing her hesitation, Ye Beixuan continued, "Oh! Don't think about it. Failure is the mother of success. If you fail this time, you might succeed next time!"

Zhao Yunge was stunned. He thought to himself, what he said does make sense! Let's just believe him for once.

"Then let's go! Senior brother and junior sister won't wait for anyone." After hearing his explanation, Zhao Yunge suddenly felt in a good mood and urged him to move on.

Just as the two were about to move forward, a strong gust of cold wind suddenly came from the underground crack where the Yaksha demon had just appeared.

Suddenly, countless ghosts emerged from the cracks, including bloating ghosts, evil ghosts, painted skin ghosts, tomb ghosts, and so on.

They all looked at the two people with sinister and terrifying smiles, and kept floating towards them.

"Not good." Ye Beixuan finally understood that although the Yaksha Demon might kill passers-by here, it also had another function, which was to suppress these underground ghosts.

"There are so many ghosts, what's going on?" Zhao Yunge had just recovered, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at the ugly and disgusting ghosts.

Looking at this group of ghosts, Ye Beixuan subconsciously thought of a word, and he murmured: "Is this, a hundred ghosts parade at night?"
