Chapter 152: Kill the Stonefish! Demon Pill! Demon Pill!
The great formation sealed off the stone fish for over a hundred years.
In fact, its original power has been slowly consumed. Compared with its peak, its strength now is actually less than half of its original strength.
In addition, in order to break through the chains, it jumped and struggled again and again, and constantly controlled the demon fire on the demon core in its body, constantly burning the chains, and continuously consuming...
Then outside, there was a hanged man who kept beating people.
With the blessing of Chen Yu's calligraphy, its power has reached the extreme of its own imagination. Every blow can cause damage to the stone fish, with its skin torn and flesh flying everywhere. The injuries of the stone fish continue to worsen.
The formation set up by Liu Qiaoer was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The great formation was rising and constantly reviving.
Even though there was only one chain left on the stone fish, the formation caused the layers of power between heaven and earth to press down, causing the stone fish to jump lower and lower with each jump, and its power to become weaker and weaker.
It is exhausted.
And its realm aura also dropped rapidly, and soon it fell below the level of the evil spirit.
Without the protection of the evil-level power, the damage caused to it by each attack of the hanged ghost became greater and greater.
“Ah…”
The stone fish roared, very unwilling, with endless fear and despair in his heart.
It has waited for this day for too long.
After finally being on the verge of escaping, he encountered such a catastrophe. The anger and frustration in his heart were like a surging river, endless.
However, the formation was still recovering, and its own aura was constantly falling due to the suppression of the formation.
The key point is that the hanged ghost was still attacking it at this time, one hammer after another, causing large pieces of blood and flesh to splatter, revealing the snow-white and cold fish bones.
If this continues, even it won't be able to bear it.
Suddenly, hatred filled its heart.
It knew that this was its last chance. Now that its hope was about to be shattered, it finally opened its mouth and roared. The demon pill that was originally flashing with demonic fire and constantly burning the chains was finally controlled and sprayed out. Then it flashed and rushed to the hanged ghost, aiming at its head fiercely.
puff!
In an instant, the hanged ghost's head was pierced through, and his entire soul shattered.
At this moment, even though the hanged ghost was a ghost and had no physical body, it was severely damaged in one fell swoop.
After all, in addition to the terrifying impact force of this demon pill, there is also the endless demon fire. This demon fire is extremely harmful to the soul of the hanged ghost, and it is like a cancer attached to the bone, constantly burning its soul.
It took three full breaths before its evil spirit was eliminated.
But at this time, it also became extremely weak, and the power injected into its body quickly dissipated due to the vibration of its soul.
On the other side, after Shiyu controlled the demon pill to severely injure the hanged ghost, he immediately set his sights on the second target.
Liu Qiaoer.
Although it hated Chen Yushu more, Liu Qiaoer was closer to it, and Chen Yushu was still in the middle of opening the altar. The flames in the fire basin were so high that it couldn't see the other party's specific location.
So, it directly set its target on Liu Qiaoer.
The demon pill flashed, and it rushed to Liu Qiaoer at an extremely fast speed.
Facing the demon pill rushing towards her, Liu Qiaoer showed a calm expression on her face. She first used the Fu Yin Jue.
Under the terrifying pressure, even the speed of the demon pill slowed down. Then she pointed her finger again, and a clear spiritual light fell on the demon pill. The demon pill, which was already a little stagnant, was completely fixed in the void.
Finally, she took out something like a pottery jar, threw it up, and covered his head with it.
In an instant, the demon pill was completely covered.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Only then did Shiyu feel something was wrong, and he immediately controlled the demon pill and began to struggle violently.
But at this point, how could it be too late?
Liu Qiaoer's eyes shone brightly. She controlled the pottery jar with all her strength, sealed the demon pill, and quickly picked up a lid to cover it up.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After ten full breaths, the vibration inside the pottery jar finally stopped.
At this moment, the stone fish completely lost contact with its demon pill. Its breath suddenly became extremely weak, and its vitality collapsed. Its belly turned over, and it was like a dead fish, with no strength left to move.
Seeing this, Chen Yushuo stepped forward without any reminder and immediately threw out talismans like raindrops.
Boom boom boom!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
Ghost-killing talisman, thunder-inducing talisman, ice arrow talisman!
Countless talismans fell down.
Because it no longer had the demonic power from the demon pill to protect it, the defensive scales on the stone fish's body were also greatly weakened.
In just a moment, there was no good meat left on its body, and its entire head turned black and shattered, like paste.
Dead!
In fact, for monsters, the monster pill is their foundation and the source of their power. Once the monster pill is lost, not only will their strength be greatly damaged, but they will also suffer serious damage and be in danger of death.
After being attacked by such a fierce talisman by Chen Yushu, he naturally could not continue and finally fell completely and died in the formation.
“Dead!
It’s finally over!”
Sensing that the stone fish had completely turned into a dead fish, Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh.
This battle is really extremely difficult.
He used almost all his strength and performed the method of opening the altar to the extreme. He successively captured the well ghost and the hanged ghost under the command of the Conferred God Jiang Po Po. Even with the help of the altar's initiation, he still could not pose a threat to it.
If Liu Qiaoer had not perfected the sealing formation, Shiyu's final attack from the demon pill might have turned the tide.
After all, the attack of that demon pill was indeed too strong.
He is still thinking until now, if the demon pill did not rush towards Liu Qiaoer but attacked him, would he be able to block it?
The answer is no!
He felt that he could at best avoid the vital points, but it would be extremely difficult to actually block them.
“Fortunately.
It’s finally solved.”
Chen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he begin the final cleanup efforts.
He must send back this captured soul.
After all, they were soldiers fighting for him, and he couldn't just abandon them after they had served their purpose.
First it was the well ghost. Chen Yushu made a slight move, and the extremely weak well ghost flew over respectfully.
It was relatively lucky and did not suffer too much trauma in the battle with the stone fish.
However, the power washed away by the altar also made it very weak, and it would take at least some time to recover.
“I’ll take you back first.
After the new year, I will definitely find a new place for you to live.”
Chen Yushu still remembers the other party's request.
Want revenge.
And in the dry well, if no one approaches, there is no way to take revenge.
So what the other party wants is to move to a place where they might run into that unfaithful man.
Chen Yushu naturally would not look for the so-called unfaithful man for the other party, but he could still place his body on the path that the other party had to pass.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yushu waved his hand and summoned two weapons again. With the power of the altar, he sent them back.
As for the hanged man——
The hanged man was seriously injured at this time.
It was not only because it was hit by the Stone Fish Demon Pill, but also because it directly endured two consecutive altar initiations from Chen Yushu.
Once it is hit, it will suffer trauma and it will take ten days to half a month to recover.
After two consecutive times, and with the addition of injuries, its soul became somewhat unstable.
If you want to repair it, it will take much longer than the well ghost.
Without any nonsense, Chen Yushu followed the same method and used the ghost soldiers on the altar to send it back directly.
Fortunately, because it was already injured, its soul was weak and it had no power to resist, so the energy consumed in sending it back was not much.
Only then did Chen Yushu withdraw his mental strength and truly end the ceremony.
Opening +132
The experience gained from opening the altar immediately soared.
“But this is normal.
Opening an altar, after all, is not like other spells.
Every time a forum is opened, it is a real battle, and it requires fighting against all kinds of demons and monsters.
Especially in this battle, the demon stone fish, with the highest combat power, has reached the middle stage of the demon level, that is, the last chain on its body could not be untied, otherwise its strength could even soar to the late stage of the demon level.
Faced with such an existence, there are so many things that need to be paid attention to in all aspects.
No wonder my experience in opening altars has improved so much."
Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh, then looked at the attribute panel.
Opening: Minor Success (192/400)
"According to this situation, I only need to go through one or two more battles like this, and my altar-opening experience will be able to directly reach the realm of great perfection."
Chen Yushu muttered, of course he didn't want to go through such a dangerous battle again.
He would rather improve at a slower pace.
After all, if he wanted to practice and improve, he only needed to summon and judge some weaker ghosts, evil spirits, and evil zombies to increase his experience points, and it would be more stable and safe.
There is no need to take such risks.
"Are you okay?"
It was not until this time that Liu Qiaoer came over with a look of concern on her face.
"fine.
"Sister Qiao'er, how about you?"
Chen Yushu shook his head first, then asked hurriedly.
“I’m fine too.
But I never thought that your altar would have reached this point."
Liu Qiao'er shook her head at first, then looked at him with her eyes slightly shining, and said, "The method of opening the altar is a magic method that every person who walks in the underworld will learn.
But there is actually no completely correct solution to this spell.
The altars and formations that each person sets up are different.
When facing evil spirits, the methods and approaches used are completely different.
The power of it also depends entirely on your understanding of this altar.
From the first time you opened the altar, I found that the altar you opened was different from mine, and also very different from other people who practiced Yin.
This time, seeing you again, I discovered that you can actually perform the method of opening the altar without suppressing the spirits, and it is not to invite the spirits or summon the spirits, but to constrain the spirits..."
Speaking of this, Liu Qiaoer really felt a little sad in her heart.
"Is there any difference between these two?"
Chen Yushu's face showed confusion.
I do know that the reason why my method of opening the altar is like this is not only due to my own understanding, but also because of the attribute panel.
The small success in the attribute panel naturally filled in a lot of his understanding of opening the altar.
This is why his method of opening the altar has become what it is today.
“When people usually open an altar, they invite spirits to fight.
So they would give benefits to ghosts and promise them many advantages so that they would fight for them.
In fact, many times, ghosts are very cunning and evil, and they do not work hard. The contracts they sign with ghost walkers are also relatively loose.
Therefore, there will be many cases of ghosts retaliating and rebelling.
The most typical example is Li Chao's family in Lijia Village.
Although he invited an evil spirit, it was not an evil spirit that he could suppress entirely by his own strength, so the ghost contract they signed was relatively loose.
Therefore, when the ghosts retaliate, the Li family will be destroyed and their bloodline will be cut off.
Because Li Chao had no means to check and balance the evil spirit.
The stronger one is Zhao Ling.
This edict spirit is a weak spirit submitting to a strong one, so there are relatively few cases of backlash.
For example, the evil spirit of the mandrill was actually an evil spirit summoned by my grandmother, so it could be passed down to my father.
It’s a pity that my grandmother had an accident and failed to intercept it in time, and even strangled its natal soul rope, which led to the tragedy ten years ago.
But you used the method of binding souls.
Forcibly apprehend it and make it serve you... Although the risk is relatively high and you need to subdue it first, the ghosts and evil spirits apprehended in this way have little chance of backlash. Once they are under your control, they will allow you to control them and fight desperately..."
As she spoke, a faint light shone in Liu Qiaoer's eyes.
She suddenly felt that Chen Yushu's method of opening the altar was indeed very clever, and it was also something she needed to learn.
"I see."
Chen Yushu immediately understood.
Invite the spirit, summon the spirit, and arrest the spirit.
In fact, according to his understanding, they correspond to the three realms of Kaitan Fa, namely, entry, mastery and minor success.
When he first started learning, what he was thinking about was how to summon spirits.
It was only because of Xiaoyin, and because he quickly passed this stage, that he did not actually summon spirits to fight.
The same is true for the mastery level of the edict spirit.
It was not until he had mastered the method of opening the altar to a small degree that he truly understood the method of summoning spirits and began to use them in combat.
This time, it was his attempt.
Now it seems that this method is indeed feasible and has excellent results.
That is to say, his cultivation was not high enough, and he could not guarantee that the other party would be "scared" or "surrendered" by him. Otherwise, he would even plan to ask the evil-level Grandma Jiang to come and fight for him.
Then he began to explain his own understanding.
Although Liu Qiaoer's realm was higher than his, she was not as good as him in opening a forum, and she was not reluctant to ask for advice.
Chen Yushu naturally told everything he knew.
It was not until a long while later that Liu Qiaoer, feeling that she had gained a lot, showed a satisfied smile.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yushu also hurriedly spoke up and asked, "Sister Qiao'er, I just noticed you made a move. What kind of spell was that last one?
It actually froze the entire demon pill."
Chen Yushu just saw Liu Qiaoer collecting the demon pill quickly and calmly, which made him admire her very much.
Naturally, there was also a bit more curiosity in my heart.
"Soul attack spell, Soul-Shocking Stab!
This method can only be used by cultivators at the Dao Entry Realm level, using the power of their soul.
The reason why the demon pill could be immobilized was mainly due to the characteristics of the demon pill.
Although this demon pill is the source of power and foundation for most demon beasts and evil spirits, it is actually also the place where their minds are placed and the residence of their "souls".
So when my Shocking Spirit Spear landed on the demon pill, it actually hit their minds and souls.
When the soul is attacked, their thinking will naturally stop and their consciousness will become blank.
This pause, this blank, wouldn't it just stay there, with no idea where to go?
Taking this opportunity, I can capture its demon core and seal it away."
Liu Qiaoer smiled slightly and explained.
Hearing this, Chen Yushu nodded, and then he suddenly understood.
Of course, he was indeed very envious and eager for this method.
However, this Soul-Shocking Thorn could only be practiced by those who had reached the Dao Entry Realm and possessed a divine soul. Even if he wanted to learn it, he couldn't, so he didn't mention it any further.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you then."
Liu Qiaoer seemed to see what Chen Yushu was thinking and couldn't help but speak.
"Thank you, Sister Qiao'er!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu quickly thanked him.
“No problem.
Helping you is helping me.
This time, if you hadn't intervened, I wouldn't have been able to kill the evil spirit in the ancestral temple so easily, nor would I have been able to resolve the biggest hidden danger in the village and kill this stone fish."
Liu Qiaoer waved her hand and spoke lightly.
“I’m from the village too.
It is our duty to do what we can."
Chen Yushu said seriously.
"Well, it's getting late. In another hour, some people in the village should be getting up.
Let’s pack up and go back first.”
Liu Qiao'er didn't argue with Chen Yushu about this. She glanced at the sky and continued, "Unfortunately, this stone fish only has this demon pill of some value..."
“I’ll give this demon pill to you, Sister Qiao’er.
I wasn't polite to the evil spirit and the incense power before."
Chen Yushu waved his hand and said.
“That won’t work.
Demonic pills are extremely valuable, especially those condensed by powerful demons like Shiyu. They can not only be used to make pills, but also to make magical instruments. They are excellent materials for cultivation and cannot be compared with the essence of evil spirits.
Even with the power of incense and vows, the value is far less than this."
Liu Qiaoer shook her head and said, "You have put in a lot of effort in this battle and consumed a lot of energy. No matter how much we gain, you should have a share.
So, I'm going to sell this demon pill, and no matter how much I get, I'll give you half. How about that?"
"Sister Qiaoer, is this okay?
I am very interested in the formation that trapped the entire stone fish.
I won't share the demon pills, but I hope Sister Qiao'er can enlarge and print a copy of the corresponding formation diagram for me. How about that? "
Chen Yushu hesitated slightly, then compromised.
"This is the formation notes my grandmother wrote down when she was repairing it. I don't need them anymore, so I'll give it to you."
Liu Qiaoer took out a black book and handed it over.
Chen Yushu's eyes lit up and he immediately felt like he had found a treasure.
He was indeed very interested in this formation that could seal the stone fish. Not only because of its advanced techniques, but also because of his reading experience, he needed corresponding books on formations to improve...
He had already thoroughly understood the previous book on the detailed explanation of formations, but his reading experience had improved only slightly, so it was time for him to find a new book.
This book solved his urgent problem.
Next, the two of them cleaned up a bit.
Chen Yushu also put away the soundproofing arrays set up around him.
Finally, he took another look under the wooden bridge.
I saw that the stone fish that seemed to be about to flutter out was still there under the wooden bridge, but the stone itself was covered with cracks, densely packed all over.
There was no longer that special spiritual aura around.
At this time, anyone looking under the wooden bridge would not notice anything unusual, let alone realize that this place had been sealing a powerful demon with peak strength, reaching the late stage of the demon level.
…
When I got home, it was still pitch dark.
In winter, the sun rises late, but some diligent people in the village have already gotten up in the dark and started their busy day.
Chen Yushu also went back to his room directly, but did not go to sleep to rest.
For him now, entering into a state of meditation and practicing is the best sleep. He just sat on the edge of the bed, thinking silently.
“This battle.
Although it went smoothly overall.
But it also exposed many problems.
First, my strength is good.
But compared with the real powerful evil-level masters, there is still a big gap.
Even in its open state, it is still no match for a demon-level being."
Chen Yushu is very clear about his situation.
Don't be fooled by his divine power when he is in the state of opening the altar. When fighting against evil spirits, he can use the method of initiation of the altar to increase their strength to the level of evil spirits, and can even cause damage to the evil spirit-level stone fish.
But the premise of all this is that the other party has been in a sealed state, with several chains always trapped on his body.
If not, how could the evil spirit of the hanged ghost, which only has a body of a demon-level but no corresponding means, be a match for the stone fish?
Other evil spirits will not be trapped in a small riverbed like the stone fish, left to be slaughtered by others.
“So, although this battle went smoothly.
But it also exposed many problems.
One is the realm of strength, and the other is that the means are somewhat simple.
Aside from the altar, I have no other means to control the evil spirits at the demon level."
Chen Yushu thought silently.
As for the realm of strength, there is no rush.
You just need to practice visualization step by step and cultivate the three incense sticks to perfection. Naturally, you will reach the limit of the realm and begin to prepare for practicing Taoism.
This takes time.
Even if he has the essence of evil spirits that can speed up the growth of his Taoism, he still needs a corresponding practice process.
"As for the means..."
Chen Yushu thought of the Huangshan Inheritance Cliff that the God-favored One had mentioned before.
There, there is a top-notch master who has left behind a spiritual practice inheritance, which must include methods that can rival or even surpass the methods of the altar.
Perhaps, there is a way to enable him to achieve the Taoism of three incense sticks and kill the evil spirits.
