Chapter 222: Enemies from both sides lead to a stalemate
"You're right," Yinghuan leaned against a nearby tree, fiddling with her nails. "There's something strange about Yunmeng Lake. No wonder that woman Tumi was able to refine elixirs the moment she entered."
But for a moment no one answered her, only the birds singing in the forest, which was very strange.
After a long silence, Bai Wuchang walked out from the darkness. He waved his folding fan and began to fan it leisurely.
"I have my own ideas on this matter, so I won't bother you." Bai Wuchang stared straight ahead, as if there was something deep in the forest. "But I have to trouble you to go to the Demon Lord."
After hearing this, Yinghua sighed helplessly, as if she was extremely dissatisfied: "Forget it, then let that damn girl go for now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a black mist wrapped around her body. After a moment, the black mist dissipated and Yinghuan disappeared.
After Yinghuan left, Bai Wuchang withdrew his gaze, glanced at Hui Wu who was sitting beside him in a miserable state, and an ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
As the earth shook, the originally calm swamp water became like boiling water in a stove, surging continuously with mud.
Not long after, a huge body suddenly jumped out of the water, and the series of long roars were deafening. Everyone had to cover their ears, but they still couldn't block out the roars.
When the vibration under his feet stopped, the body did not completely emerge from the water, but the roar stopped.
Everyone then realized that what was before them was actually a snake-like monster, but that monster actually had...
Eight heads!
It was strange that the roars just now were of varying pitch, like a group of people shouting. And the heads of the monsters all looked like human heads.
"What...what kind of monster is this..." Long Qi exclaimed, not noticing that his voice was a bit loud. Perhaps his hearing hadn't recovered from the roaring just now. "Why is it so strange? It actually has eight heads!"
"No... not eight..." Xinyi raised her hand and pointed loudly, "It's nine!"
Long Qi didn't hear clearly what Xinyi said, but looked in the direction he pointed. The monster in front of him did have nine torsos, but the ninth torso had no head. Instead, it drooped in the distance with old wounds, as if it had been chopped off a long time ago.
"It's Xiangliu." Lingxiang frowned and said in a deep voice.
"What? Xiangliu?" Long Qi's hearing seemed to have recovered somewhat, but he still spoke loudly. He asked in surprise, "That ancient evil god Xiangliu?"
That's right, this is the purpose of Lingxiang's trip. Among the single prescriptions left by Tumi, one of the ingredients is Xiangliu's poisonous fang.
There is a description of Xiangliu in "Records of Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas", but Lingxiang never expected that Xiangliu would be so huge. Not to mention the snake body buried in the water, even the human body it separated from could occupy an entire mountain.
Now with Xiangliu in front and Yinghuan behind, he was attacked from both sides and was in a dilemma.
Xiangliu was originally an assistant minister of Gonggong. After the great god Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, he caused trouble everywhere, and everywhere he went became a swamp. Later, he was killed by Emperor Yu, who built the Wan Di Tai to suppress the flesh and blood.
These were all recorded in the book. Lingxiang was surprised when she saw Xiangliu's teeth on the prescription, but she didn't expect that Xiangliu was actually hiding in Yunmengze.
It seems that we can’t believe everything written in the book!
And what's strange is that although the monster in front of her looked ferocious and terrifying, Lingxiang didn't feel any hostility.
Shouldn't Xiangliu be the one who has eaten countless people and is extremely poisonous?
Hui Wu, who had never seen such a scene, was stunned for a moment. However, Yinghuan was a high-ranking demon after all, so he knew Xiangliu. He quickly pulled Hui Wu and tried to escape.
When Hui Wu came to his senses, he saw Zhao Wuyang sitting not far away, and resentment immediately arose in his heart.
Even these so-called rich and powerful children have gained all kinds of opportunities by virtue of their birth. What virtue and ability do they have?
When he saw Zhao Wuyang, he thought of his experience in the Taishang Sect and what Shao Xunxun had done to him. The thought in his mind just now was like a poisonous vine, tightly wrapping around Hui Wu, growing wildly and unable to break free.
Hui Wu finally couldn't hold back any longer, and he threw off the woman who was pulling at him, leaping out, his face horrified and his eyes bloodshot. His feet transformed into demonic claws, swirling with powerful wind and miasma, he charged towards Zhao Wuyang without hesitation.
"Oh no!" Lingxiang cried out.
The appearance of Xiangliu destroyed the magic circle she had set up. When she dodged and was shaken, she was even further away from Zhao Wuyang. Now it was too late to rescue him!
Besides...
Besides, there was Xiang Liu in front of him, who was watching him intently. If he acted rashly, no one knew what was going on.
Huiwu's claws were approaching, and Xinyi didn't care about anything else. She drew her sword and rushed out.
At this moment, Zhao Wuyang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fluorescence and his body was filled with spiritual energy.
"The demon-exterminating Qinghui!" Lingxiang was shocked. Could it be that after experiencing the search for Qi, Zhao Wuyang was able to use the demon-exterminating energy to this extent?
This is the supreme power of Qinghui to exorcise demons. Even Senior Brother Shangqing had to practice for decades before he could achieve this.
Besides, could it be that Senior Brother Qianyuan was so confident in teaching Zhao Wuyang all the skills of exorcising demons? Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Just as Lingxiang was surprised, Zhao Wuyang shouted in a deep voice, and an invisible energy was immediately released from his body, which knocked Hui Wu, who was approaching, away a few feet.
Before Hui Wu could even stand firm, Zhao Wuyang slammed the ground and soared into the air, twisting his fingers and making hand gestures. He then flew like an arrow straight at Hui Wu. When he was close, he transformed his fingers into swords and thrust them straight at Hui Wu's face.
Judging from the moves, they are somewhat similar to Lingxiang's Lotus Heart Sword Technique, but the spiritual energy between Zhao Wuyang's fingers is purer.
That’s the power to exorcise demons!
The sword shape began to appear on Zhao Wuyang's finger, and it was only a few inches away from Hui Wu. At this moment, a figure flashed by and took Hui Wu away in an instant.
It’s Yinghuan!
Yinghuan's original intention was to catch Zhao Wuyang off guard and kill him with one strike. However, just as she was about to get close, Zhao Wuyang glanced at her. The murderous look in his eyes made her shudder, and she had no choice but to save Hui Wu instead.
But even so, the devil horns on Hui Wu's head were cut off by Zhao Wuyang!
This kid is definitely not simple!
Yinghuan was shocked and confused, but she didn't want to put herself in danger. If the magic recall array was not in Huiwu's hands, she would not bother with him.
As soon as Fang Yi rescued Hui Wu, Yinghuan took out a compass from her arms, and quickly drew on the compass with her fingers, muttering strange spells.
The compass glowed with a magical light, and everyone was shocked when they saw it—
Is she going to summon monsters again?
If this is true, then we are surrounded by enemies on all sides!
Long Qi had already pulled out Long Yuan, and Xin Yi was also on high alert, but Ling Xiang only frowned slightly.
She just felt strange that the compass in Huiwu's hand before was made of mahogany, but the one that Yinghuan was holding now was black.
Just as she was thinking, the compass's magic light flashed, but then returned to calm in an instant.
At this time, Yinghuan and Huiwu also disappeared.
