Journey to the West Creation Technique

"Lin Che!"

Using the sunlight, Zhao Xuangang forced back the Ghost-Faced Yaksha with a single sword strike and was about to rush to help Lin Che, who had fallen to the ground.

But the masked demon, having suffered such a great loss, had no intention of letting Zhao Xuangang go.

After a strange shriek, it attacked again, carrying a chilling aura, and the humans and demons once more entangled in a fierce battle.

Faced with such a ferocious beast, even if Zhao Xuangang went all out, he could only barely manage to cope and there was no chance to save people.

In this dark and gloomy place, Zhao Xuangang was completely at a disadvantage and was no match for him at all.

Fortunately, he could use the same trick again. If he was no match for the enemy, he would cleave the dome of the sky with a powerful sword and let in the midday sun.

Whenever sunlight shines on the Ghost-Faced Yaksha, its bone-chilling, sinister aura melts away, its powerful cultivation is directly reduced by more than half, and its might is greatly diminished.

Guimiangou is the "house" of Guimian Yasha.

The canopy of naturally growing trees is what forms a roof.

Now a human cultivator has broken in. Although it is no match for the human cultivator, whenever it falls into a disadvantageous position, the human cultivator will very meanly break through the roof of its house, letting the sunlight fall on it. This not only makes it very uncomfortable, but also greatly reduces its strength.

This is the situation that Oni-Faced Yaksha is currently facing.

How incredibly frustrating!

"Waaaaaah... Awooo..." The demon-faced yaksha was furious and screamed wildly.

If Amiya were there, she could translate what the Oni-Faced Demon said, which would be something like:

"Waaaah... Holy shit, you human!"

"Waaah...you try poking at my house again!"

"Waaaah... I'll kill your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"Waaaah... I'll fight you to the death!"

……

Zhao Xuangang was equally anxious as he faced the enraged Ghost-Faced Yaksha.

He wanted to save people!

Extremely urgent!

But the evil spirit that thrived in this dark environment gave him no chance at all, and seemed to be fighting him like a madman.

If it weren't for the ability to cleave through the dome of the sky and draw in the sunlight, he would have been torn to shreds by this monster long ago.

After a fierce battle...

Zhao Xuangang finally managed to completely force the Ghost-Faced Yaksha to retreat, and this vicious evil spirit no longer dared to hinder his rescue.

The main reason was that the Oni-Faced Yaksha realized that if the fighting continued, it might have nowhere to live.

The perfectly good roof has been ripped to shreds by humans, and Ghost Face Ditch has never been so bright and open.

The sunlight that used to fall was no longer dappled; now it was almost a ribbon of light, breathtakingly beautiful…

Zhao Xuangang didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately turned back, but he didn't see Lin Che.

The ground was covered with countless feathered dragon corpses...

Could it be that Lin Che actually managed to escape and leave this place on his own, despite his injuries?

……

Outside Ghost Face Gully.

A rocky beach bathed in sunlight.

Li Ang, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, stood guard by Su Wan's side without leaving her side for a moment.

The girl held a spirit stone in her hand, her body surrounded by rising spiritual energy and wisps of white mist, as she practiced a magic technique to replenish her depleted magical power.

Li Ang was anxious, as Lu Chengjun and Lin Che had been gone for a long time since they entered the ditch.

His fate remains unknown...

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the valley.

They're finally out!

Li Ang quickly went to meet him.

It was Lu Chengjun and Lin Che.

They've both come out!

Li Ang felt a surge of excitement, and he wanted to shout it out.

However, upon seeing Lin Che with his eyes closed, unconscious, and his face bluish-black, the heart that had been at ease immediately began to pound again.

"What about those feathered dragons? What happened when you went in?" Li Ang asked excitedly.

Lu Chengjun remained silent, as if he were mute.

He carried Lin Che on his back and strode toward Su Wan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Just as Lu Chengjun put the person down, Su Wan finished her work.

When she opened her eyes, she immediately saw Lin Che, who was unconscious.

"Senior Brother Lin!" Su Wan was both surprised and delighted to see Lin Che return.

After meditating to restore his magical power, Senior Brother Lin emerged on his own.

However, Senior Brother Lin's face was bluish-black, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned.

Su Wan took a porcelain cup from her bosom and handed it to Li Ang: "Go and fetch some water!"

Li Ang dashed to the riverbank and scooped up a bowl of water.

Su Wan took out two pills from her medicine pouch, one to strengthen her body and nourish her vital energy, and the other to clear her meridians and detoxify.

He fed Lin Che two pills and then had him drink them with water.

After taking two pills, Lin Che's complexion improved significantly, but he remained unconscious.

Su Wan slapped his back, and pure spiritual energy flowed into his body to protect his heart and suppress the spread of the poison.

Not long after...

A beam of light flew out from the valley, then disappeared, revealing Zhao Xuangang.

Seeing that Lin Che was unharmed, Zhao Xuangang breathed a sigh of relief: "How is he?"

Su Wan frowned slightly: "Senior Brother Lin's life is not in danger, but his magic power is exhausted and he is unable to resist the poison. The poison has already penetrated his bone marrow, and I'm afraid... his foundation will be damaged."

"let me!"

Su Wan stood up, and Zhao Xuangang took her place.

He then raised his palm and placed it heavily on Lin Che's back, pouring his powerful Foundation Establishment Realm magic into Lin Che's meridians, limbs, and bones.

Black smoke immediately billowed from Lin Che's head.

The toxins that had been deeply ingrained in the bone marrow were forcibly forced out by the powerful magic of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

This forced treatment left Su Wan stunned.

Lu Chengjun held a crescent-shaped iron shovel, ready to defend himself from all directions.

Suddenly.

His eyes narrowed, and he warned, "There's a monster standing at the valley entrance."

Li Ang looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Why would you use the word "stand"?

"Where is it? I can't see it." Li Ang stared wide-eyed, looking around carefully.

Su Wan followed the direction Lu Chengjun indicated, her expression grave: "There are indeed demonic beasts lurking in the shadows!"

Zhao Xuangang frowned. He knew very well that the two of them were discussing the Ghost-Faced Yaksha.

That creature only dared to spy from the shadows; now that the daylight was bright, it dared not make a move.

"We can't stay here any longer, let's go!"

Everyone immediately retreated. Lu Chengjun carried the black iron crescent shovel and slowly retreated. Even as he retreated, he still faced Ghost Face Gully, his gaze fixed on the Ghost Face Yaksha deep in the shadows.

This is a Foundation Establishment level demon beast; at the slightest disturbance, it will instantly kill you!

He dared not look away even for a moment!

The heavy responsibility of supporting Lin Che naturally fell on Li Ang's shoulders.

Li Ang also took the initiative to squat down.

Su Wan lifted Lin Che onto his back: "I'm entrusting Senior Brother Lin to you."

"Don't worry," Li Ang replied in a deep voice.

"Hurry up!" Zhao Xuangang urged in a low voice.

Even though the team had retreated far away, Lu Chengjun kept looking back until they were completely away from the valley entrance, at which point his tense mind finally relaxed.

Not long after the group left, the demon-faced yaksha slowly emerged from the shadows.

As the sunlight fell upon it, the lingering sinister aura dissipated, and its dark blue scales shimmered with a faint, cold light.

With a light leap, it left only a fading afterimage in its wake.

Carrying the massive black iron shovel, Lu Chengjun walked on, constantly looking back, a persistent unease in his heart: "What if it catches up?"

Zhao Xuangang said, "It wouldn't dare. The sun is shining brightly in broad daylight; if it dares to chase after us, it's courting death!"

"What if it's nighttime?" Lu Chengjun asked abruptly.

Zhao Xuangang remained silent upon hearing this.

If it gets dark...

They're doomed...

If he wanted to survive, the only way was to abandon the four Qi Refining cultivators and ride his escape light back to Nanming Guard before sunset.

But if he did that, Lin Che, Su Wan, and the others would surely die, and he would indirectly bring trouble back to the Nanming Guard's garrison.

"Let's get going!"

Zhao Xuangang had already secretly made up his mind.

Now there is only one way: to launch a counterattack and solve the problem once and for all.
