The red cassock was raised with great momentum, and Master Jinghui raised his hand to make a magic seal. He opened his mouth and uttered a voice that shook the mind like a morning bell: "Namo Bhaga Vati, Jibi, Yasaha!!!"
Chen Xiao could not understand a single word of the mage's incantation, but that did not prevent him from feeling the powerful force of this Buddhist incantation.
The ground beneath his feet was shaking, and golden halos appeared, surrounding Jing Hui. With the high-pitched ending, they turned into waves of light and rushed towards the evil cultivator.
The massive sound reminded Chen Xiao of the wave cannon in science fiction movies.
Golden waves shot up into the sky, and Cheng Gu was tumbling in the air due to the impact. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and spurted out a cloud of blood.
This blow seemed to be extremely lethal, but it only injured his chest and lungs and severely damaged his tendons and veins, but did not take his life directly.
Although it seemed like there was much ado about nothing, Cheng Gu was still very wary.
"A Buddhist cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!" Cheng Gu's heart trembled, and all his greedy thoughts were thrown behind him.
He knew that with his cultivation level at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, he could never be a match for the Buddhist cultivator in front of him, and he immediately thought of running away.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Jing Hui shouted loudly and soared into the sky like a cannonball. He could fly in the air, and with the help of magic, he was even more aggressive and murderous.
Cheng Gu was so frightened that he dared not fight head-on. He turned around and fled to the rear.
While running away, he did not forget to greet the three evil cultivators on the ground.
The three evil foundation-building cultivators had originally looked up to him and regarded him as their reliance. Now that they saw that he was no match for them, they did not even think of resisting and turned around and fled for their lives.
"Where are you escaping to!" Jing Hui chased after him immediately.
Jing Hui took advantage of the situation and waved his sleeves. A sickle-shaped golden light wave swept towards the evil cultivators fiercely.
Because the attack area is too wide, the lethality is lower than the previous impact light wave. However, Jing Hui is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage after all, and his cultivation level is there. Although he cannot kill the evil cultivator in the Golden Core stage in one go, he can easily deal with three cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Cheng Gu only felt a pain in his back, and the three evil cultivators running on the ground screamed and fell to the ground.
Fan Shiming's death was not a pity. Cheng Gu only felt sorry for his two junior brothers. However, no matter how much he felt sorry for them, their lives were not as important as his own.
Cheng Gu got furious and took out a jade talisman from his storage bag and threw it at the wizard who was chasing him closely.
First there was a flash of red light, followed by an earth-shaking roar, and the fire-attributed spiritual energy burst out with a scorching air wave, instantly burning everything within a ten-mile radius.
Jing Hui's face changed, and she changed the seals in her hands, and a golden light shield appeared on her body. The air shield was hit by the air wave and ripples appeared. If Jing Hui's true essence was not deep and she increased the energy supply instantly, she would be in danger of being broken.
Jing Hui's heart sank. This was actually an attack talisman made by a talisman master at the Out-of-Body Stage. Fortunately, he had thick skin and was best at defensive spells. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured if not killed.
When the wind wave dissipated, the surroundings had turned into a scorched earth. Looking at the remains of grass and trees turned to ashes on the ground, Jing Hui slapped his head in annoyance: "It's broken!"
He rushed back quickly, passing by the three evil cultivators who were covered in black and half of their bodies were carbonized without even a glance. When he returned to the place where he had just fallen, the Taoist cultivator he had saved fell on top of another person, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Jing Hui rushed over and carefully turned over Chen Xiao's body. Seeing that he had his eyes closed, his face was pale, and his breath was weak, she asked in a low voice: "Daoyou, are you still alive?"
Chen Xiao coughed twice and opened his eyes. Jing Hui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled widely: "Fortunately, you are okay."
Chen Xiao was helped by Jing Hui to sit up. He suddenly remembered Liu Lang who was protected under him. He turned around and looked at him carefully. He was relieved to find that he was fine.
Fortunately, Cheng Gu escaped quickly and Jing Hui chased him far enough, so when the talisman exploded, they were only affected by the aftermath.
Chen Xiao had several layers of protective charms on him, and his clothes also had some fireproof and heat-insulating effects, which prevented the two from being affected by the violent effects of the talisman.
Jing Hui followed Chen Xiao's gaze and looked at Liu Lang. She found that he was seriously injured, so she raised her hand and cast a spell. The golden light rain slowly fell and penetrated into Liu Lang's skin. After the spell was used, Liu Lang's face looked much better.
Chen Xiao looked at the changes in amazement, and then looked at the mage with incredible eyes. This was the first time he saw a healing spell in the world of immortal cultivation.
Seeing this, Jing Hui said embarrassedly: "It's just a nectar spell, which can stimulate his body's vitality and promote the healing of his injuries."
Only then did Chen Xiao have the opportunity to take a closer look at this Buddhist practitioner.
He has a broad forehead and a square face. His eyes are clear and bright, and one can feel his righteousness at a glance. His facial features are regular and he looks strong and sharp, but when he smiles, he makes people feel sunny and friendly.
He was wearing a monk's attire that was very familiar to Chen Xiao. The buckle on the chest that fastened the robe was made of jade twisted with metal wire, and it looked like a magical instrument.
He had a string of prayer beads wrapped around his wrist, which seemed to be played with often, and had a layer of bright and gentle precious light.
What he was wearing were not monk shoes, but a pair of brown short boots that were convenient for experienced people to move around in.
Chen Xiao sincerely thanked Jing Hui: "Thank you Master for arriving in time and saving my life and the life of my companion. You also used the healing technique for my companion to relieve his pain."
Jing Hui was not satisfied with the outcome of the battle. He shook his head and said, "In the end, the culprit got away, leaving only three minions behind."
Chen Xiao had heard them arguing and said, "They should be from the same sect."
"It is this kind of martial arts that is used by the entire sect to do evil that is the most evil. We are here to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness. We will kill anyone we see!" Jing Hui said sternly.
"My name is Chen Xiao, and I'm a Feng Shui master. May I know what your title is?" Chen Xiao asked respectfully.
Jing Hui smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, fellow Daoist. I don't have a title yet, so just call me Master Jing Hui."
Chen Xiao nodded and asked, "Master Jinghui, are those three evil foundation-building cultivators dead?"
Jing Hui frowned in disgust and said, "Those three bastards were injured by their fellow disciples. Since they were not hit head-on, they haven't completely died yet. I will go and pray for their souls later. It can also be regarded as revenge for the Taoists who unfortunately died in their hands recently!"
Chen Xiao nodded silently without saying anything, but he was surprised that this mage had a strong personality and a bad temper.
However, in this world of cultivating immortals, the more jealous and vengeful people there are, the better it is for people like Chen Xiao who are not good at fighting.
Chen Xiao followed Jing Hui into the scorched earth. At this time, the three evil cultivators were still groaning and struggling. Even Fan Shiming made a "hehe" sound when he saw Chen Xiao. He first looked at Chen Xiao with a look of shock, anger and fear, and then stared at Chen Xiao with a pleading look.
Jing Hui saw something and turned to ask him, "Why? Do you know this person?" He was a little embarrassed. If Chen Xiao begged for mercy, what would he do? It was really against his will to let him go.
Even though half of the bodies of these three evil cultivators have turned into carbonized, they can still save their lives. If they are willing to use elixirs and magic pills, it is not difficult to restore them to their original state.
Chen Xiao shook his head. "Although we are from the same village, he has committed many evil deeds, and his fate today is his own fault. Everyone must be responsible for what they have done, and no one can escape."
After hearing this, Fan Shiming looked at Chen Xiao with a look of despair and resentment, which pierced deeply into Chen Xiao's heart, giving him a clearer and deeper understanding of the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation.
If Jing Hui hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have died. If he pleaded with Fan Shiming, would Fan Shiming let him go? Impossible! Therefore, sometimes, some inappropriate softness and sympathy are not necessary at all!
Chen Xiao did not watch Jing Hui's prayer. He went back to the place where he put Xiao Ba to look for it.
The lamb wandered alone in the same place, calling helplessly from time to time. It twisted its head and looked around, as if looking for something.
When Xiao Ba saw Chen Xiao appear, he ran towards him excitedly.
Chen Xiao picked it up and spoke to Xiao Ba apologetically, "I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long and making you worried."
After returning to the familiar embrace, Xiao Ba's mood immediately calmed down. It was a little hungry, and called to Chen Xiao in a delicate voice to beg for food.
Chen Xiao was very familiar with this kind of cry, and he knew immediately that Xiao Ba was hungry.
Think about it, from the time they discovered the golden jade carving, to the time the carving was taken away by someone, to the time that person was killed by the evil cultivator, and to the time they were hunted down by the evil cultivator. All these things happened in just over three hours, but Chen Xiao felt like a long time had passed.
Chen Xiao carried Xiao Ba back to where Liu Lang was, and Jing Hui had already returned. Chen Xiao did not ask what happened to the three people, he directly started to clean up the ground and arranged a comfortable place for Liu Lang to lie down.
Jinghui just sat there and watched without intervening.
Chen Xiao felt that it was natural. After all, Jing Hui was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, while he was just a junior in the Foundation Establishment stage. No matter how approachable he was, it was impossible for him to put down his status and help a junior do this and that. It didn't make sense.
Xiao Ba was a little anxious because of hunger, and kept circling around Chen Xiao. Seeing that Chen Xiao was busy taking care of others, he stretched out his thin little hoof to touch him.
Chen Xiao was amused by its eagerness and felt much better. He smiled and patted Xiao Ba's head: "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
While he was grinding the training rations into powder, he asked Jinghui, "Master Jinghui, can we continue to stay here? That evil cultivator has killed three of his fellow disciples, and he will definitely tell their master. What if he comes looking for us?"
Jing Hui said: "Don't worry, these evil cultivators don't have a nest near the Taizhen gathering point, so they won't be able to come for a while."
Chen Xiao felt a little relieved. He mixed the powder with Hengxi water, put it in a bowl and fed it to Xiao Ba.
Jing Hui seemed very interested in the lamb that Chen Xiao raised. "Are you raising a lamb like this as a pet?"
"No." Chen Xiao said, then explained the reason, and then told Jing Hui that he planned to raise the lamb until it was independent.
"Oh?" Jinghui felt that Xiaoba's background was a little unusual.
He looked closer and saw that Xiao Ba was eating enthusiastically and was drinking his second bowl. He buried his head because he felt safe around Chen Xiao. He didn't care if a stranger approached.
"Can I see it?" Jing Hui asked.
Chen Xiao was a little surprised, "Of course."
Jinghui reached out and picked up Xiaoba. Xiaoba was stunned for a moment. The food in front of him was getting farther and farther away. Xiaoba was very annoyed that his meal was interrupted. He bleated at Jinghui rapidly and angrily, and tried to kick him with his little hooves.
Jing Hui raised her eyebrows in surprise, "This little lamb has quite a temper."
He ignored Xiao Ba's anger and reached out to touch it carefully. This made Xiao Ba even angrier, and he actually stretched out his head and pushed it towards Jing Hui.
Its hairy little head hadn't grown any horns yet, but the aggression it displayed was unusual.
Jinghui's expression was a little serious. He looked at the lamb carefully over and over again before putting it down and letting it run towards his bowl.
Chen Xiao had been observing Jing Hui and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Xiao Ba?"
Jing Hui shook her head and said, "It's still young, so it's hard to judge. But based on what you said and what I saw, this wild sheep kid should have some reversion to its ancestral form."
