Chapter 52: Danger is imminent and the divine weapon appears
When it reached the depths of the forest, the talisman burned out, drifting down, leaving only ashes. Liu Xia looked around and saw a devastating mess, with broken vines and vines scattered all over the ground, and tree trunks deeply scarred by knife and claw marks, as if the entire area had been looted. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked. What on earth had happened here?
Just as he was looking around, Banxia tugged at the corner of his clothes from behind. When he turned around, he saw her squatting down and picking up a black wooden sign.
Isn't that the ebony plaque that the authentic sect gives to outer disciples? It's engraved with silver cloud patterns! Turning the plaque over, I saw the words "Miaozhi" engraved on it.
"Miaozhi..." Banxia pondered, "Isn't that the female disciple from Meiyuan?"
Just as Liu Xia was trying hard to recall whether there was such a person in the class, Banxia grabbed his hem again and pointed at the broken vine on the ground.
"Look at this broken vine, it's a little unusual."
Banxia was about to pick it up to check, but a vine snatched the broken vine away with lightning speed and hit her feet. She was so scared that she screamed and jumped up and hid behind Liu Xia.
Seeing this, Liu Xia immediately drew out his sword and was about to fight back, but was stopped by Banxia.
He was confused and looked at Banxia, only to see her pointing at the vine - the vine was covered with scars and looked weak, and the cracks on it were the same as the broken vine on the ground, and black air was coming out of it.
The vine didn't seem to have any intention of hurting them either. It just struggled to lift itself up and pointed at their heads.
The two looked up and saw many ball-like objects wrapped in branches hanging above, some of which had gray clothes sticking out.
"That... isn't that the outer disciple's robe!?" Banxia exclaimed in a low voice!
However, the vine did not seem to have any intention of putting the cage down, but simply passed over the two of them and pointed into the forest.
Liu Xia saw this, pondered for a moment, then immediately understood its meaning. He hurriedly clenched his fist and ran into the forest. Banxia saw this and hurriedly followed. But the vine seemed to have exhausted all its strength and fell down with a bang.
"Why didn't you save your classmates and instead ran away?" Banxia asked as she ran.
"If I'm not mistaken, there must be something ominous here, and those monsters must be protecting them, so they hung those people on it, and it points to this depth. I think someone is being chased by those monsters, and it must be extremely dangerous now." Liu Xia said, quickening his pace.
When Banxia heard him say this, she was secretly complaining in her heart: Isn't it dangerous for us to go?
…
Zhao Wuyang was already injured, and the miasma was corroding his wounds, causing him great pain. However, there were many monsters, and his martial arts skills were not proficient, so it was really difficult to fight them. If it were not for Xinyi's protection, he would have died long ago.
Meanwhile, Xinyi had to fight monsters and protect Zhao Wuyang, and after several battles, he was covered in wounds. He looked at the broken sword in his hand - if this weapon had not been unsealed, he would not have reached this point.
However, those demons seemed to feel no pain. Even after their hands and feet were cut off, they still struggled and roared, wanting to take the lives of the two.
Xinyi finally exhausted all her strength and half-knelt beside Zhao Wuyang, holding the scabbard.
If I hadn't been so poorly trained, I wouldn't have become such a burden to Brother Xinyi.
Zhao Wuyang thought so and said, "Brother Xinyi, please go on your own and don't worry about me. With your ability, you will definitely be able to get rid of these monsters. I have no strength left. If you try to protect me, we will both die here."
Xinyi looked at Zhao Wuyang's anxious expression, smiled with difficulty, and reached out to touch his head.
"Don't worry, since you call me big brother, I will definitely protect you." As he said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he muttered something. Suddenly, the wind blew up and Zhao Wuyang couldn't open his eyes.
But Xinyi suddenly took a deep breath and rushed towards the monster. She was so fast that the monster didn't even notice before her head and body were separated.
But he was injured and suffering from the pain of miasma. After a while, he was exhausted and knelt down again, unable to get up no matter what he did.
Seeing him like this, the monsters swarmed over with their bloody mouths wide open, ready to take his life.
"My great revenge has not yet been taken. Am I going to die here today? But..." Xinyi muttered as she looked at the monsters that were gathering around her. However, she seemed to have used up all her strength and she slowly closed her eyes before she finished her words.
Seeing Xinyi in danger not far away, Zhao Wuyang roared and wanted to stand up to protect her, but he was too seriously injured and could not move no matter how hard he tried.
Just as the monster was about to pounce on Xinyi with its fangs bared, two yellow talismans flew over, and then a gust of air shook the monsters around him and Zhao Wuyang away.
Zhao Wuyang was wondering who it was when he saw Long Qi and Cheng Qi jump down and protect the two of them.
Long Qi looked at the strange-looking monsters around him and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had read the first volume of "The Theory of Talismans" and still remembered the exorcism talisman. It was also a good thing that Lingxiang was so skilled that he could think of such a situation.
However, he finally borrowed her telekinesis, and the power of this exorcism talisman was less than half, and it only shook these monsters away.
Cheng Yu leaned over to check Xin Yi's injuries. They were indeed serious, and she was already unconscious. He nodded to Long Qi, indicating that Xin Yi was still alive.
Seeing him like this, Long Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly became fully alert. Now was not the time to be distracted.
The monsters, perhaps affected by the exorcism talisman, circled around the four people and did not attack.
Just when Long Qi was hesitating about how to escape, Xinyi woke up slowly and took out three yellow talismans from her arms. However, when Long Qi took them and looked at them, he found that these three were actually the mother talismans of the mother-child talisman.
In this case, Lingxiang intended to gather them together, but now Liu Xia is nowhere to be found. Could he have been attacked by these monsters?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw a flash of sword light outside the monster circle. It turned out to be Liu Xia fighting outside the monster circle, but behind him...
"If I had known there were so... so many monsters here, I would have rather died than followed you... here!" Banxia dodged and shouted at Liu Xia.
Long Qi looked at the two figures trying to break through, and for a moment he forgot his current situation - that noisy woman... who was she...
…
As soon as the monster appeared in the Dust-peeking Mirror, Shangqing Zhenren immediately ordered Elder Fuyin to keep an eye on the spiritual incense, and ordered Elder Zhaoming to investigate the mountain guarding formation. Then he called on the three Zhenren Qianyuan, Chengxin and Donghui to rush to Yinyu Peak together.
"Hey~ By the time they get there, I think these outer disciples will have been torn to pieces by the monsters." Lingxiang leisurely crossed her feet and fiddled with the yellow talisman in her hand.
Master Fuyin was concentrating on the Dust Mirror—the Dragon Seven Sword Moves looked incredibly familiar, as if he'd seen them somewhere before. He didn't pay attention to the incense for a moment, and simply replied perfunctorily, "My fellow brothers know what's going on."
But he changed his mind: her own disciple is in Yinyu Peak, there is no reason for her to have the leisure to make such a joke.
Master Fuyin looked at Lingxiang, only to see that she was holding two talismans in her hands!
"Sixth Senior Brother, why don't you accompany me for a while?" Lingxiang raised the talisman in her hand and raised her eyebrows.
