The two sides competed with the power of fantasy beasts for a while, and Guizi's expression gradually became serious.

At first, the hellfire and the Xuanming water could extinguish each other, but as time went on, the devil's hellfire gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The mysterious mist slowly surrounded him, but the range of the burning hellfire was constantly shrinking.

"Hmph! It's just that the mythical beast is more powerful! External forces don't count as strength!"

Guizi snorted coldly, and with the sickle in his hand, he cut a path through the Xuanming Water and charged straight towards Xun Yujian.

Bang!

The tortoise shell shield easily blocked the sickle. Xun Yujian pointed with his right hand and the sword in the mouth of the spirit snake slashed at Guizi from the side.

His Zanpakutō does not need to be held entirely by hand, as he can partially control it with his mind, which is very convenient.

A thick bone extended from Guizi's left arm, blocking the snake's blade.

But there was still a cut mark on the bone.

The black demonic energy vibrated and gradually surrounded Xun Yujian with Guizi's attack.

Xun Yujian felt that his mind was being aroused by an inexplicable force, which wanted to seduce out the most primitive impulses and desires in his heart.

But he has been practicing Taoism for many years and has a firm mind. Although he cannot be said to be absolutely free of desires, he cannot be shaken by this little evil spirit.

But he also discovered the difficulty of dealing with the demonic energy.

When he first heard Yang Qingrui's introduction, he thought it was the devil's spirit that created the illusion, such as a lustful person making you see beautiful women, a greedy person making you see a mountain of gold, a vain person making you see the scene of being worshipped by thousands of people, and so on.

But after actually coming into contact with the demonic energy, he discovered that it was not the case at all!

The demonic energy does not create illusions, but directly strikes the deepest desires of living beings.

No one in this world is absolutely free from desires.

The desire for knowledge, the desire to survive, these are all desires!

Money, sex and power are not the only desires.

Desire is like a seed deep in the heart. The role of evil spirit is to find this seed and use itself as nutrients to encourage the seed to take root and sprout.

When this seed grows to a certain size, it will gradually devour the owner's original rationality and make the person a slave to desire.

This is the devil!

At this point, the evil thoughts devour the host's personality, and the person is no longer the person they once were, but becomes a member of the demon clan.

Furthermore, this person will always obey the commands of the source of his or her own corruption.

Xun Yujian claims to have practiced Taoism for many years, but does he have no desires?

No, he does. At least he still has the desire to survive and wants to survive in the apocalypse.

There is also the desire to become stronger, because only by becoming stronger can one survive.

Once these desires expand without limit, they will become demons. However, compared with the desire for survival and knowledge, the desire for greed, lust, power, fame and fortune is more likely to lead to corruption.

"It's a really troublesome ability."

After Xun Yujian realized this, he knew that he could not be covered by the demonic energy for too long. This thing was pervasive, and even the Armament Haki could not completely defend against it.

Guizi flapped his wings behind him and quickly moved around Xun Yujian. He was not only looking for Xun Yujian's flaws, but also wanted to use this method to disperse the increasingly dense Xuanming water vapor here.

Xuanwu's speed was average, and Xun Yujian just stood there and passively defended.

However, Zhiming Shenjun has the ability to tell fortunes. Even though he has not yet awakened the ability to predict the future, he can still rely on his divination ability to predict Guizi's next move.

The tortoise shell shield in the left hand only needs to be placed in the enemy's attack path in advance to easily block the huge black sickle.

Suddenly, he had an idea. While using the tortoise shell shield to block the sickle's frontal attack, his head suddenly sank down and sank into the tortoise shell.

A pitch-black arrow flew over his head and dissipated in the distance.

"pity."

Guizi sighed inwardly. He quickly moved around Xun Yujian in order to activate this secret technique.

The demonic energy that was arranged in advance condensed into arrows and shot out from behind when the opponent was not paying attention.

Even if the other party has the ability to observe, it will be too late to react by the time they notice it.

But he didn't know that all his actions had been predicted in advance by Xun Yujian, and he had already started to shrink his head the moment the arrow of demonic energy took shape.

"Almost."

Xun Yujian muttered to himself, and the Xuanming water mist that spread around him quickly shrank, becoming sticky and heavy.

Guizi only felt his body stagnate, and his speed actually dropped by half!

Shocked, he quickly released a large amount of demonic energy to wrap himself up.

"go!"

Xun Yujian did not rush into the evil spirit himself, but controlled the snake blade to cut down Guizi in the evil spirit.

"You can't kill me with just this knife!"

Guizi easily swung away the blade of the spirit snake, but saw that Xun Yujian's shape suddenly changed again.

His basalt-like head turned into a dragon head, his body was covered with pitch-black dragon scales, and flame clouds appeared under his feet. He unexpectedly reversed his previous defensive stance and rushed towards Guizi at an extremely fast speed.

He shouted loudly, and the heaven and earth seemed to be shaken apart.

The evil energy surrounding Guizi was dispersed, and Xun Yujian took this opportunity to rush forward.

After the evil spirit dissipated, Guizi was only surprised for a moment, and still slashed at Xun Yujian with his sickle with full confidence.

boom!

He only felt a huge force coming at him, and Xun Yujian actually used his shield to shake off his sickle, and the snake blade took the opportunity to cut into his body.

A huge wound appeared on his chest, and the knife mark went straight from his chest to his abdomen, revealing his dark internal organs.

He was shocked. How could Xun Yujian's power suddenly become so strong?

Gui, who was watching the battle, had an ugly expression on his face. He knew that all the members of the Yanhuang base had the power to transform into dragons. Gui only saw Xun Yujian using the Black Tortoise Body, and he carelessly forgot that that was not Xun Yujian's full strength, so he suffered a great loss!

With Xun Yujian's strength, if he had borrowed the power of the Azure Dragon and the power of vibration at the same time from the beginning, although he could have suppressed Guizi, he would not have been able to achieve the current results.

Seeing that the other party was arrogant, he deliberately set up this trap to eliminate him in one fell swoop!

The sickle was shaken open, not only as a result of the blessing of the Azure Dragon, but also as a result of the Xuanming water vapor constantly grabbing the Guizi Yang Qi.

Don’t zombies have yang energy?

Obviously not.

Everything must follow the principle of yin and yang balance.

You planted a demon in my heart, and I am draining your yang energy.

Xuanming water is so yin and dark that even when Guizi's yang energy disappeared and its power decreased, it could not be noticed immediately.

Now that he was suppressed by Xun Yujian, he felt a special chill that made his limbs stiffen.

This is not the cold that freezes the limbs, nor is it the icy air of the underworld that freezes the soul, but the body stiffening after the loss of yang energy.

He felt as if he had returned to the powerlessness of being a little zombie.

After a person dies, the yang energy dissipates. Even if the yang energy dissipates when the zombie virus deprives living beings of their lives and transforms them into zombies, the body must absorb yang energy again during subsequent evolution in order to give birth to spiritual intelligence.

Guizi's body stiffened, and Xun Yujian swung the snake blade in his hand to chop at his throat.

Seeing that Guizi was about to be beheaded, even if he had an immortal body, it would only be a matter of time before he was completely killed.
