Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 87 Sword Monk Xuanlian
Wildfires blazed across the land, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas. Otherworldly demonic flames erupted from the cracks of the scorched earth like the wails of a thousand ghosts. Wherever the flames licked, all vegetation turned to ash, and the rocks turned to molten lava. The earth of the Bitter Realm cracked like the wrinkles of a dying woman, and the stench of black smoke obscured the sky, leaving only a crimson glow illuminating the apocalyptic landscape.

"Amitabha."

Buddhist verses pierced the sea of ​​fire, the golden light of Buddhist scriptures shattered the chaos. The Buddha's sword spoke, his feet treading on the flames of karma, each step yielding a lotus flower, his robes rustling in the heat. Behind him, the swordsman's immortal whisk swept lightly, and the pure energy of Taoism transformed into a drizzling rain, clearing a path several feet long for the fleeing civilians.

"Thank you, Jianzi." Fojianfen said to Jianzi Xianji who was standing beside him.

Jian Zi Xian Ji flicked his whisk and said with a light smile, "It's a bit strange to say that. I hope what Si Ya Za Shi Lang said is really useful. I also hope that Mu Shao Ai and the others can find a way to put out the devil fire as soon as possible."

Just when the two were evacuating the people, they were assisted by a ragged old beggar who claimed to be one of the three people that Taoist Xuanzong was looking for, Si Ya Za Shi Lang. With his guidance, they mastered the method of forcibly suppressing the devil fire with their foundation, but this move would inevitably provoke an attack from the demon world.

However, now that the devil's fire is raging, Fojianfenshuo and Jianzixianji know that even though this method is quite risky, they have no choice but to do it.

The devil fire raged, and the Buddha sword was speaking. Shen Yuan absorbed the energy, and the surging Buddha power was mobilized. With a deep shout, the majestic Buddha energy condensed into a barrier, forcibly suppressing the spread of the devil fire. The entire Flame Demon City was also violently shaken by this strong impact.

In the Demon City, a cold voice was heard: "What a good Buddha Sword argument, but it is too unwise!"

A sneer echoed from the depths of the Demon City, and demonic patterns on the city walls suddenly lit up. Then, the black mist condensed into a giant palm, bursting through the air with immense force. Jian Zi Xianji raised his white eyebrows slightly, unsheathed Gu Chen, and with a clear dragon's roar, the demonic palm shattered as the sword passed through.

"You hurt my friend in front of me. The etiquette of the Demon City needs to be revised." The Taoist fluttered his sleeves, pointing the tip of his sword at the city gate. "Why not let Jianzi demonstrate to you what hospitality is?"

Before he could finish his words, three streams of demonic energy blasted out in quick succession. Jian Zi Xian Ji stepped onto the eight trigrams, his sword wielding the momentum of a wandering dragon. The first strike split the demonic aura like a cloud, the second transformed his strength into a powerful counter-attack, and the third, using the force of the opponent's own strength to counterattack, sent the demonic energy flying back towards the city walls. The Buddha Sword behind him remained calm, determined not to let the karmic fire run wild, completely entrusting Jian Zi Xian Ji with his entire safety.

"What a peak of the Dao Sect! I just wonder how long you two can hold on."

Countless palm energies were emitted from the city again. Although the power was weak, it was continuous. Jianzi Xianji relied on Gu Chen and swung his sword with all his might. Wherever the sword light went, it was guarded without a trace of leakage.

However, the blazing fire of karma continuously depleted the foundation of Buddha Sword, and the endless palm energy consumed Jianzi's mind. Although the fire of karma did not spread further in the martial arts world, Buddha Sword and Jianzi were gradually falling into danger as their internal strength continued to be depleted.

Just at this moment, the roof was leaking and it rained all night. A familiar poem appeared outside the flaming magic city. A familiar figure came with bursts of cold smiles, asking to kill!

"Untainted by the world and untainted by dust, without any trace or trace, the sages are but shadows in a cage, wandering freely in the style of civil and military affairs."

"This poem, oh my." Jianzi looked back distractedly, only to see the gray robe. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he knew that this battle was extremely dangerous.

"My dear friend, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as glorious as ever."

"Ha." Sheng Zong just chuckled when he heard what Jian Zi said. Looking at the two people struggling in the sea of ​​fire, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Jianzi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Shengzong also misses you very much."

"In that case, my friend, why don't you help Jianzi deal with the current trouble first, and then we can have a drink and reminisce about our friendship in the past?"

"Well, we've known each other for a while now, and Shengzong couldn't bear to see his friend suffer so much. This place has excellent feng shui, so he'd like to invite his friend to rest here and go to the Western Paradise with Fojian, thus preserving our friendship. What do you think?"

"My friend, this is the gorgeous and unparalleled Dragon Head Lord Wu Shi. If he knew that Buddha Sword and I abandoned him, I'm afraid he would vomit three liters of blood. How could Jianzi be such an unjust person?"

"Ha, then it's not up to you!" As soon as the words fell and the greetings were over, murderous intent appeared and a killing move was used. Shengzong pressed his palm directly against Jianzi Xianji. Jianzi Xianji, with his mighty power, slashed the Demon City with one sword first, then turned around and responded to Shengzong's attack with another palm. With a dull sound, the remaining power swept in all directions. Jianzi Xianji used the force to land steadily in front of Fojian Fenshuo.

"When did my friend join the demon world? Such a big thing, he didn't even tell me in advance. Oh, it really makes Jianzi very sad."

"It's okay. It's not too late for my friends to know now."

As soon as one move was over, another one came up. Shengzong's moves were ruthless and he was determined to kill Jianzi Xianji. Just when the two were fighting, the door to the demon world opened, and a figure with red hair and white robes, holding Zhuyan in his hand, pointed at the Buddha sword to settle the score!

"Buddha Sword, let's talk." The Buddha-swallowing boy looked at the Buddha Sword, "Buddha-swallowing boy, let me ask you."

……

……

"I never thought that there would be such a magical pawnshop. Is it in another dimension?"

The ancient bronze lamp illuminates the way ahead. The monk who broke his vows in the mountains in the past appears with the arrival of the devil. The devil's fire burns the world, and it also returns to its original appearance.

He shed his carefree appearance and became a righteous man. He put his name on the sword and showed his compassionate killing heart.

The monk who broke his vows in the mountains was none other than one of the three extraordinary men who had assisted Daojing Xuanzong in sealing the otherworldly demon world—the sword monk Xuanlian!
The door opened, and the sword monk Xuanlian slowly waved his feather fan and stepped into the pawnshop. Inside the pawnshop, Li Xuanxiao, dressed in a black robe with golden patterns flowing like water, had been waiting for a long time.

"Pawnshop owner, we meet again."

The sword monk Xuanlian went straight to sit opposite Li Xuanxiao. The teacup in front of him exuded a familiar aroma, which aroused the sword monk's thoughts.

Plum blossom tea, that conversation, that rain...

Is fate ultimately unchangeable?

"Yes, we meet again, the mountain monk who broke his vows. No, I should call you the Sword Monk Xuanlian now."

"Whatever the name, it's just a code name." The sword monk's black lotus feather fan stopped in mid-air and he shook his head slowly. "I came here today to ask if the pawnshop owner's promise still stands."

Last time, in order to obtain Zhu Yan, Beichen Yin and Deng Jiuwu went to the pawnshop to ask for it, and exchanged Zhu Yan for a limited promise from the pawnshop.

The sword monk Xuanlian had also thought about whether the fate of Jianxie and Renxie would be different if he refused to hand over Zhu Yan that day.

But such assumptions often make no sense.

"Of course." Li Xuanxiao certainly knew the purpose of the sword monk Xuanlian's visit, or in other words, he had already anticipated this scene when he made that condition to the sword monk Xuanlian.

"Sword Monk Xuanlian, now that you've come to me, you can state your request."
