Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 64 63 Protecting the World of All Living Beings

"It's really the human demon who opened the Huangting! Get out of here!"

Cui Wei had been through hundreds of battles, so how could he allow his opponent to gather his true energy? He joined his right hand, holding the knife, with his left hand, and supported the shield with his broad shoulders like a city wall. His footsteps cracked the mud bed at the bottom of the lake. He was like a giant siege machine, extremely ferocious, destroying the city and breaking through the gates.

An eight-foot-long dragon and an iron-steed hammer that can break through enemy lines!

Boom!
The dull sound of impact made Li Cunxiao feel a blockage in his heart, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. Before he could catch his breath, Cui Yao jumped out from behind the shield like a wild horse leaping across a ravine.

The ten-foot-long horse spear thrust forward, creating a white spiral airflow, and Cui Yao looked like a spiral drill.

The thick muscles tore the inner clothes, the armor wrapped around the naked upper body, the red skin, and the blue-black python-like tendons reminded Li Cunxiao of the red horse galloping under the scorching sun.

The two brothers cooperated very well. Almost at the moment when the human demon was knocked away by the shield, the three-foot lance had already pierced through the human demon's hastily raised palm with a sharp scream!

"Let go!"

Cui Yao roared like thunder, shook his spear, and the powerful force once again pushed the demon back several feet.

With the combined efforts of the three, the human demon had already retreated dozens of feet away from the black treasure tree. It was obvious that everyone did not want to ruin their hard-earned gains because of the aftermath of the battle.

However, such an attack was obviously not enough to truly repel it, it only made it impossible for the human demon to use his true energy.

Zhang Lishi took out the pearl hanging around his neck without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.

Damn it? !
Li Cunxiao was stunned. What surprised him even more was that the next moment, a green cyclone emerged from Zhang Lishi's dantian and formed a roaring three-meter tornado in an instant.

The strong wind tore the branches of the trees in the valley apart, and the dense evergreen treetops groaned under the heavy burden as if their hair was standing on end.

Although the demon had lost his human wisdom, his instinctive premonition of death was like a loud gong, which made him even more crazy. The black light in his belly suddenly surged, like a pitch-black flame, resisting the tornado.

A dark blue hand, as dry as a dead tree, stretched out in the distance. A five-foot sword stuck in the soil not far away suddenly trembled and turned into a stream of light flying towards them.

The rusty iron shell peeled off layer by layer, revealing the red-gold dragon-bird ring head and the frosty blade.

The dragon bird's eyes were like jasper, and a blue-black light emanated, turning into a winged body. The majestic dragon bird cried loudly, and rushed straight towards the human-demon like a young swallow returning to its nest!

"It's just a bunch of dead objects forming a formation!"

Cui Wei slammed the sharp corner of the shield into the soil. Shi Tie and Cui Wei next to him saw this, took out a slightly smaller square shield from behind their backs, and put their hands on Cui Wei's back.

In an instant, the steaming blood was like a real wolf smoke, rising three feet into the sky, and accompanied by the roars of the three people, it turned into a blood-red horse.

The horse's muscles were tense and the heat it emitted was so intense that it dried and cracked the wet mud at the bottom of the lake.

As the three of them ran, their hooves left deep grooves on the ground, like an army of thousands of horses, heading straight for the dragon bird!

"Roar!!!!!!!"

The demon was furious. Looking at the three people with their backs exposed, he slashed out a crescent-shaped black light with his hands, creating a foot-deep groove on the ground, which flew in a staggered manner.

At that moment, a whistling green tornado arrived as expected, engulfing the dark blade light and dragging it back. For a moment, the human demon was trapped by the rope-like green airflow, and looked up at the tornado in horror.

With the help of an unknown magic treasure, Zhang Lishi's height exceeded two meters and five. The little giant with a green face and red hair held a long sword in his hand and pointed it at the struggling human demon in Tornado's eyes. Suddenly, a hint of Zen-like peace appeared on his ferocious face with fangs.

The invisible blade light passed by like a breeze.

The dragon bird suddenly let out a mournful cry and transformed into its original form, falling to the ground with a clang.

The bony green head fell to the ground and slammed into the mud with a loud thud.

Li Cunxiao stood up involuntarily, staring at the figure that had fallen from the sky to the ground at some point, his eyes widened.

Yaksha is a swift ghost with great strength and can fly through the void. It is a demon and also a guardian of the gods.

This move is in line with the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures, and is called——

Protect the world of all living beings.

Gudong.

Li Cunxiao swallowed unconsciously. The three-meter-long green tornado and the silent knife formed a sharp contrast.

He didn't even know when Zhang Lishi swung his sword, but the demon's head had already fallen to the ground.

The Buddhist scriptures say that there are three types of Yakshas: ground-walking Yakshas, ​​flying Yakshas, ​​and space-dwelling Yakshas. Their power is unfathomable and they roam the heavens. As long as they have a thought, they will appear in time to protect the world of sentient beings.

Zhang Lishi's sword was as fast as the guardian yaksha. As soon as he thought about it, the sword would kill the person. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.

"But hasn't Master reached the Huangting realm yet? Yet, that surging, fierce true energy, that three-meter-high tornado... could it be that bead?"

Seeing that the situation was settled, Li Cunxiao stepped forward quickly and was about to flatter Zhang Li, but he saw Zhang Li's legs suddenly go weak, he knelt on one knee, his Adam's apple rolled, and he spat out the emerald green bead from his mouth.

"Master!"

Li Cunxiao was shocked, but Zhang Lishi raised his hand, signaling him not to come over. Only then did Li Cunxiao notice that after shedding his fierce appearance of a Yaksha with red hair and green face, Zhang Lishi's face was no longer as rosy as before, but rather pale, and his eyes showed a hint of fatigue.

On the other hand, the bead on the ground, compared to the dark green it had been when I first caught a glimpse of it, was now as lush and verdant as the mountains in spring. It even emitted an eerie sound, which, if you listened carefully, sounded like a woman's whisper.
Zhang Lishi half-knelt on the ground, circulated his qi and blood for a while, and his complexion slowly returned to normal. He took off a rope from his neck.

Only then did Li Cunxiao discover that the rope, woven from an unknown material, was marked with cinnabar marks, and in the middle of the rope was a net bag. He placed the bead inside and fastened the buckle, and the emerald green light on the bead dimmed, turning a deep dark green again.

At this time, the Cui brothers and Shi Tie also came over, each carrying a weapon. They looked more or less tired, and it was obvious that they had consumed quite a lot of energy.

"How's it going? Is everything okay?"

"It's okay! Damn it, this magic treasure is really freaking fierce. It's been fed with some spirituality."

Cui Yao walked forward cursing and kicked the demon's body, causing it to roll over. A black iron-colored waist badge on his body rolled down, and the words "Lieutenant Li of the Yiluohe Left Army" could be vaguely recognized.

"In fact, it's because that human demon is so powerful. After years of nurturing, he has cultivated the magic treasure to the point where he can use it as easily as his own arm. He can even control it remotely and detonate the true energy stored within it."

"Otherwise, a weapon without anyone to operate it is useless. How can it possibly withstand the battle formation we have formed?"

Cui Wei coughed a few times, and Li Cunxiao felt that the flesh on his face was burned a lot in the previous battle.

"Fortunately, we won in the end."

When Shi Tie said this, everyone showed a happy smile on their faces.

In any case, this battle was a close call. The huge risk was followed by rich rewards after victory.

The five people first walked towards the long knife stuck in the lakeshore.

After removing the rusty iron shell, the blade revealed its true appearance:
It is about five feet long, and the back half of the handle near the knife ring is a metal sleeve that looks like a fish tail. The fork of the fish tail just "swallows" the round knife ring.

The circular knife ring is red gold, with a bird head carved inside, with dragon horns on its head and eyes made of jasper;
The front half of the handle was wrapped with some kind of black leather rope, which had not decayed after many years, but instead had a smooth luster after being polished with bristle lacquer;
Continuing upward, there was a small, disc-shaped blade guard. The blade was slender and straight, about two and a half fingers wide and three and a half feet long. The tip of the blade was sharply curved, and the blade shone coldly, making a faint sound of wind when approached.

Considering its performance in the battle just now, this sword is undoubtedly a magic weapon.

After seeing the scene with the emerald pearl just now, Li Cunxiao wisely did not act rashly, and the other three just looked at Zhang Lishi.

The latter lived up to everyone's expectations and took out a piece of yellow silk from the inside of his armor. When he shook it open, it was half a person's height, and it was covered with densely packed talismans written in cinnabar.

He used the yellow silk to wrap the ring-handled long sword. In an instant, the jade in the dragon bird's eyes dimmed, and the strange sound of the wind could no longer be heard.

The Cui brothers and Shi Tie all showed longing in their eyes. Li Cunxiao certainly knew that this was a rare treasure, but there was a hint of weirdness in his expression.

If he saw correctly, the edges of the silk were jagged, and the cross-section didn't look like cloth, but rather like randomly torn straw paper.

The talismans outlined with cinnabar were disorganized and disjointed, like the scribbles of a drunkard.

Isn’t Master Zhang’s rare treasure a little too casual?

"The sharp weapons of ancient times, the Zhanlu of Wu and Chu, and the Longque of Daxia, are renowned in the divine capital."

"He can cherish the distant, he can be gentle to those near, like the wind sweeping away the grass, his power conquers the nine regions."

Zhang Lishi held up the blade. On the blade blade, which was as wide as a finger, there was an inscription of thirty-two characters inlaid with gold.

After he finished reading, he thought silently for a while, and seemed to remember something:
"When I was training in martial arts at Tiangu Temple in Songzhou, I once read a book called 'Swords and Swords' in the Sutra Library. It detailed the famous swords and swords from before this dynasty."

"There's a record that says that hundreds of years ago, when sixteen kingdoms existed, Helian Bobo, the ruler of Xiazhou, created five swords in the second year of Longsheng. They were named Great Xia Dragon Birds. The inscriptions on the swords are exactly the same as the one in my hand."

"Xiazhou is in present-day Shuofang, north of the capital, and is separated from us by an entire Hedong Road."

Cui Yao exclaimed strangely, "Looks like calling the An Lushan rebels tomb robbers is not wrong at all!"

"If this knife is really the Great Xia Dragon Bird, then why do I feel it's a bit weak?"

Shi Tie has always been honest. Zhang Lishi stroked his beard and shook his head after hearing this.

"I, the master, also became a monk halfway through my life and returned to secular life halfway through. I don't know much about magic treasures, so I can't explain it clearly."

"However, all magical treasures feed on human flesh, blood, and souls. The more people they kill, the greater their power becomes. This is basically a common feature of magical treasures."

"Since this human demon is the Yeluohe of the past, then more than eighty years have passed since the various families in the inner city began hunting him down."

"Without human lives to feed it, it's no surprise that the magic treasure's power has weakened."

Songzhou Tiangu Temple? A latecomer?

I guess that's where Xiao Yasha learned his sword skills?
Li Cunxiao followed everyone down to the lakebed. This time, without the obstruction of the lake water, the small tree as black as iron and stone was fully displayed in front of everyone.

Zhang Lishi stepped forward quickly and after confirming again and again, he nodded as if relieved to the nervous Cui brothers, and the three of them showed joy on their faces.

Seeing this, Li Cunxiao finally couldn't help but ask:
"Master, what is so mysterious about this tree?"
