Chapter 79: When Xie Wuyang, the Night Beast, first ascended the throne, he also raised a celestial dog...
A look of fear gathered on everyone's face. The monks clenched their spiritual weapons tightly and swallowed their saliva, "What on earth is this..."
This monster is huge, with four limbs and a tail, and the earth shakes when it moves.
Two bright white eyeballs took up most of the body, protruding outward and rotating stiffly.
Xie Wuyang's expression changed as he thought of something, and he murmured, "Mist Beast..."
Yun Wanzhou paused, "What did you say?"
He turned his head suddenly, frowning, "Do you recognize this thing?"
The demons like to raise monsters, and the demon lords of all generations are indispensable.
When Xie Wuyang first ascended the throne, he also raised a celestial dog.
The Tengu can be large or small, and can be used as a pet or a war mount.
Xie Wuyang liked it very much at first, but unfortunately, in the first great battle in the world of cultivation, this heavenly dog was eaten by the immortal monks with a spiritual weapon and died miserably.
Xie Wuyang never keeps useless pets. When Tiangou became extremely weak, his insignificant love for him faded, and he often thought of the pets raised by the previous Demon Lord.
What's the call for here?
Xie Wuyang frowned and remembered the name of the monster.
It's called the Heaven-Covering.
It's a dusk beast.
The Night Beast is an ancient vicious beast. Anyone in the cultivation world has the right to kill it, and no one has seen it for nearly a thousand years.
Xie Wuyang curled his fingertips, and before he could come to his senses, a tentacle suddenly attacked everyone, raising dust everywhere.
Xie Wuyang stumbled back and was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.
Yun Wanzhou swung out a sword with his backhand, his face serious: "Focus."
…
The other side of the secret realm.
The hot blood splattered on Xu Pingsheng's face, but in just a moment, it was wiped out by the spiritual power around him.
Feng Ling hasn't seen blood for a long time.
The corpses scattered all over the ground had already obscured the original appearance of the secret realm, which was filled with filth and ugliness.
Xu Pingsheng tightened his grip on the sword and without taking time to adjust, he set out on the road ahead.
Excessive consumption makes people's spirits extremely tense, and any little disturbance can cause a commotion.
After Xu Pingsheng's sword energy missed again, the spiritual power he was circulating finally reached the critical point.
It was not easy for him to get here carrying everyone's expectations.
only……
Xu Pingsheng gasped and collapsed to the ground, holding onto the tree trunk.
This was a battle with no end in sight, and the roar of beasts was incessant.
Xu Pingsheng narrowed his eyes and looked up, but he only saw the thick and dense black fog.
In a trance, he remembered what Wu Hanfeng said to him before leaving.
"No matter what the outcome of this journey is, win or lose, as a senior brother, you must not lose yourself, and you must not abandon your fellow disciples."
I wonder if Wu Hanfeng had anticipated that they would reach such a dead end. Xu Pingsheng sighed inwardly.
Feng Ling beside him trembled, as if he was trying his best to make a final moan for his master.
Just before consciousness faded and the world returned to darkness, a white light suddenly flashed across my sight.
Before Xu Pingsheng could come to his senses, he was completely overwhelmed by the force.
…
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…”
I didn't know what was pressing against my waist, but I felt a strange warmth.
Xu Pingsheng pulled his cracked lips and slowly raised his hand to touch his waist.
"Junior sister..."
"Yes...it's me." Hearing Xu Pingsheng's answer, Liu Yuqin's voice choked with sobs, "Brother, is there something wrong with you?"
Xu Pingsheng couldn't even open his eyelids, but he still forced himself to reply, "It's not a big deal. I'm just trapped in a secret realm and can't get out for the time being. Is everything okay in Cangqiong Mountain?"
Perhaps sensing something, Liu Yuqin remained silent for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was trembling as though she had suppressed it. "Brother, the talisman I left on you has more than just the power of transmitting sound."
Xu Pingsheng retracted his fingertips, and the corners of his lips, which had been pulled up forcefully, returned to their original position.
Perhaps it was because Liu Yuqin was usually too gentle and peaceful, Xu Pingsheng almost forgot that his junior sister was stubborn, intelligent and quick-witted, and no matter what happened, she would be able to hear it.
The long silence became a tacit agreement, and the clenched talisman paper made a slight sound.
Xu Pingsheng's brows frowned and relaxed, relaxed and frowned again, until the person on the other end of the talisman spoke again.
"Brother, do you still remember what you said to me when I first arrived at Cangqiong Mountain?"
Xu Pingsheng tried to think of the last remaining thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't recall that memory. Finally, he tried to find out in a hoarse voice, "I will protect you from now on?"
Wu Hanfeng had been with Xu Pingsheng since he was still a baby.
Apart from the disciples of the previous generation, Xu Pingsheng stayed the longest.
For twenty-eight years, Xu Pingsheng was not just Liu Yuqin's senior brother.
He really couldn't remember the situation of every junior fellow student going up the mountain, but he pieced together the sentence he said most often based on vague fragments.
Liu Yuqin on the other end of the talisman shook her head, realizing that the other party couldn't see her, and said firmly, "No."
What is that?
Xu Pingsheng moved his lips, wanting to ask a question along the lines of Liu Yuqin's words, but all he let out was a heavy gasp.
The sweet and fishy smell of rust blocked my throat, and the air I inhaled felt like a sharp blade cutting through my throat.
Xu Pingsheng pursed his lips tightly, and his fingertips at his side moved slightly.
A tiny trace of spiritual power seeped through his clothes and landed soothingly on the talisman around his waist.
His five senses had begun to fade, first touch, then hearing.
Liu Yuqin's voice was intermittent, "Senior Brother said that cultivating immortality is too hard, it's better to enjoy life while you can."
Xu Pingsheng wanted to laugh.
He was obsessed with cultivation throughout his life. He might say, "I was born to be useful," but he would never say, "Enjoy life while you can."
As if she had expected this result, Liu Yuqin was not surprised. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke again, "Brother, if you are tired, sit down and have a good rest."
The wind blew away the last words, and Xu Pingsheng's messy thoughts seemed to suddenly come into order. Vaguely, he remembered the situation when Liu Yuqin first went up the mountain.
The little girl's delicate face was completely buried in the mud, with only her pair of sparkling eyes remaining clear.
Her slender body stood straight, and only when Wu Hanfeng nodded did she suddenly curl the corners of her lips and kneel on the ground.
"Disciple Liu Yuqin, I pay my respects to Master." After saying this, Liu Yuqin stood up, turned around and looked at Xu Pingsheng with a smile, and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Xu Pingsheng's gaze moved from her eyes to her toes, and then to her eyes. Only then did he realize who the person in front of him was.
He was so irritated by his inability to cultivate due to his severe injuries that he couldn't recover. He spoke incoherently, "Why did you come up the mountain?"
Liu Yuqin said, "I have nowhere to go."
Nowhere to go? But he clearly remembered that, besides her, he had also rescued her parents and younger brother from the monster. How could he suddenly have nowhere to go?
Xu Pingsheng's lips moved, and the moment they touched the scar on Liu Yuqin's forehead, the words he wanted to ask turned into outrageous remarks, "Cultivating immortals is too hard, it's better to enjoy life while you can."
The consequence of speaking without thinking was that Wu Hanfeng punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the sect rules thirty times.
It has been more than ten years since then, but when I think about it again, it is as clear as yesterday.
Thinking about it now, that outrageous remark was just an unintentional remark blurted out by him when he was confused and hurt after being injured.
Thinking of this, Xu Pingsheng actually laughed out loud, and even his lost hearing seemed to have returned.
"Junior sister has a good memory."
"Because I saw the wound on my senior brother's right arm that day."
Xu Pingsheng remembered.
That was the wound left when he was fighting with the monster. The bones were exposed at the wound, and even Elder Rong Ling didn't dare to guarantee that he could save his arm.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to recover and only had a hideous scar left.
"I remember... I remember you that day..." Xu Pingsheng panted, trying hard to recall everything that happened when Liu Yuqin went up the mountain.
He wanted to say that he still remembered the night when the punishment ended, Liu Yuqin knocked on his door and gave him a lot of qi-replenishing elixirs that she had gotten from somewhere.
"Brother, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xu Pingsheng's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he stopped talking. "Hmm."
"I left a lot of Beauty Wine for you, and also made a lot of Peach Blossom Cake for my junior brother."
Xu Pingsheng smiled and said, "Okay."
Liu Yuqin's tone gradually returned to calm from anxious. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Pingsheng heard her speak again, "Brother, open your eyes."
As soon as the words fell, a dazzling light flashed by.
Before Xu Pingsheng understood the meaning of Liu Yuqin's words, his attention was attracted by the light source.
The air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. The wind was blowing wildly, and sand and rocks were flying everywhere.
In the darkness, a golden light tore through the black fog and fell from the sky.
With his ears filled with the sound of violent heartbeats, Xu Pingsheng stared straight ahead without blinking, fearing that if he wasn't careful, this dreamlike hope would be swallowed up by darkness again.
Xu Pingsheng stood up with difficulty, and the moment he grabbed the hilt of the Fengling sword, a sword energy poured out.
Cracks appeared all over the sky, and the moment the barrier was broken, a huge bronze mirror appeared out of thin air on the ground.
"Junior sister," Xu Pingsheng stared at the scene in disbelief, then smiled in relief, "I found it."
…
Wherever the Night Beast went, the black fog became thicker.
Because of its huge size and the fog, even Xie Wuyang, who had fought with it before, found it extremely difficult to find its weakness.
Dozens of talismans flew towards the Night Beast together, spiritual power intertwined with spiritual power, and explosions rang out one after another.
The talismans offered by the disciples were all of the best quality that they could make. One talisman was enough to cause rocks to collapse and the earth to crack, so the power of several talismans should not be underestimated.
The corpses of monsters flew everywhere, and only when the last talisman was cast did peace return to his ears.
The black fog dispersed under the influence of spiritual power. Looking around, one could only barely see the scenery in front of him.
Xie Wuyang reacted extremely quickly and killed the monster that took advantage of the opportunity to attack him. He shook his wrist which was numbed by the spiritual power, and the whispers of his disciples rang in his ears.
"What about the monster?"
"He was just in front of me, how come he's gone now?"
"Maybe, maybe he has been killed by us and turned into ashes?" Although he said this, his voice was trembling.
Xie Wuyang frowned and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze.
Dust was floating in the air, and the ground that was soaked with blood was empty, leaving only a dent about an inch in size.
The huge monster seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and was nowhere to be seen.
Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes dangerously and subconsciously protected Yun Wanzhou behind him. The uneasiness in his heart intensified. "Master, be careful. Something is wrong here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook, and where the cracks spread, vines rose from the ground and hit the center of the crowd.
Everyone then noticed that it wasn't a vine at all, but -
Monster tentacles covered in sticky juice.
