Chapter 34 Chapter 34 “Fuck! What kind of monsters are these…”
“What the hell are these monsters?!”
Group after group of humanoid monsters covered in blood crawled over as quickly as snakes. When Qi Yang swung his sword, they immediately turned into a cloud of smoke, and then gathered together and turned into humanoid monsters crawling over. As long as the monsters touched your skin, it would immediately bleed and rot.
Even Qi Yang, who has extremely high fighting power, could not avoid being injured.
Mu Yang, a puppet paper figure, was set up in various corners of the demon-catching formation and an ambush was also set up. The original intention was to attract these evil spirits and catch them all in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, there were too many evil spirits and they could not be killed.
Li Xuan could kill one with one sword, but the number of monsters was too large, and it would be difficult for Li Xuan to kill them all alone. Did he really have to fight until dawn and rely on the sunlight to drive the evil back into the darkness?
Qi Yang hurriedly turned around to see Mu Yang fiddling with something behind him, and shouted anxiously, "Mu Yang! How's that Sky Eye Bronze Mirror you mentioned? Where's Li Yian? We need to use the Sky Eye Bronze Mirror to see where she is! We're almost out of control here!"
Originally, the High Priest asked Mu Yang to stay at the Theological Society for one night and go to the palace for study the next day. However, Mu Yang insisted on staying at the Mu family, and countless evil spirits were attracted to Mu Yang.
He had initially thought it was just an ordinary evil being that had taken on a human form, committing evil deeds. However, the result was beyond his imagination, with countless humanoid monsters swarming in. Mu Yang had shattered hundreds of paper puppets, killing most of them. Now, they were slowly approaching the real Mu Yang.
However, Mu Yang did not reply to him. Qi Yang looked back and saw that Mu Yang's face was ashen and his hands were tightly gripping the edge of a bronze mirror.
"Mu Yang, what are you staring at?" Qi Yang turned his head sharply, momentarily distracted, and nearly had a monster crawl onto him. He ruthlessly stabbed the monster through the air and quickly ran to Mu Yang's side.
Mu Yang was holding a bronze mirror in his hand. In the mirror, a person with pale blue skin appeared, strangling Li Yian's neck with his hands.
Qi Yang's face turned pale instantly, "Mu Yin... no, it's evil?"
Mu Yang gritted his teeth, his eyes reddened, "It's the demon described in ancient books that was killed by God a thousand years ago."
At this moment, countless monsters rushed into the Demon Capture Formation like a sea of water. Li Xuan's sword, emitting a cold aura, shattered wave after wave of monsters. He seemed to be able to sense Mu Yang's strong psychological fluctuations. Looking back, he saw Mu Yang stumbling out of the center of the Demon Capture Formation, his face pale as he shouted:
"Li Xuan, those monsters are just puppets created by the devil. Even if they are killed, they will regenerate. Only by breaking the devil's magic can these puppets be destroyed. Now the devil is next to my cousin, she is in danger!"
Li Xuan quickly dealt with a wave of monsters and rushed to Mu Yang's side. "Where is she?"
"West Courtyard!"
Li Xuan grabbed Mu Yang's collar without hesitation, took Mu Yang out of the Demon Capture Formation, and quickly rushed towards the west courtyard. Because the Demon Capture Formation trapped the evil spirits, they had no way to chase them out.
To prevent the evil from destroying the Demon Capture Formation, Qi Yang shouted to his fellow warriors, "Secure the edges of the Demon Capture Formation! Don't let your guard down!"
Countless humanoid monsters attacked the demon-catching formation frantically. Several warriors stood on each side, desperately waving their swords to repel wave after wave of monsters.
It was just that those humanoid monsters suddenly seemed to have suffered a blow, and they quickly expanded into spheres, exploding into clouds of black smoke one by one, and all this happened in just a moment.
The massive explosion destroyed the demon-catching formation and sent the fighting warriors flying far away. Their chests ached and they spat out blood. A blinding light illuminated the pitch-black sky like daylight.
Even from the distance at the Theological Society, An Si could still see the ominous light in the sky. Dressed in azure, An Si looked up at the white light in the sky, his expression uneasy.
In the west courtyard, Li Yian anxiously carried the dying Mu Yin on her back and quickly said to the Mu family's head father and mistress who were following behind her, "Mu Yin's body is invaded by evil energy. We need to quickly send him to the Theological Society and let the priest purify him of the evil energy."
The devil was parasitic in Mu Yin's body. She lured the devil out and cut the devil's vital point with a sword. The devil had already escaped, but Mu Yin was harmed by the devil to the point that his oil lamp was almost exhausted.
The master and mistress were pale, their eyes red. Seeing Mu Yin dying, they were heartbroken and panicked, but they didn't know what to do. They quickly followed Li Yian, but they were too old and frail to keep up with Li Yian's speed. They could only hurriedly warn, "Yian, be careful on the way."
Li Yian looked back at them, deeply worried that the escaped demon would return to wreak havoc on the Mu family, and that the master and mistress would be in danger. With the Mu family servants following them, Li Yian was also worried about them. She hurriedly said, "I'll take you to find Mu Yang and the prince warrior first."
The master and mistress hurriedly shook their heads and said anxiously, "Saving Mu Yin is the most important thing!"
Li Yian was so anxious that she stood there hesitating for a while. Time was pressing and she didn't have any more time to dwell on this matter. Just then, she saw Li Xuan and Mu Yang rushing over from a distance. She was immediately overjoyed and said quickly, "Protect the master and the mistress. I need to rush to the Theological Society now!"
Mu Yang called her with red eyes, "Cousin!" and walked towards her hurriedly.
But Li Yian didn't have time to explain anything to them, nor did he have time to see Mu Yang and Li Xuan's reactions. He carried Mu Yin on his back, quickly jumped up, jumped over the eaves, and rushed towards the Theological Society at a very fast speed.
Under the dark sky, a cool breeze blew. She could feel Mu Yin's body gradually getting colder as he lay on her back. She was so anxious that she kept turning back to talk to him, "Mu Yin, hold on a little longer. Don't give up."
The dying Mu Yin slowly half opened his eyes amidst the turbulence. The intense pain in his body made him lose consciousness. He murmured, "Sister..."
Li Yian jumped down from the high eaves. The door of the theological society was closed, and she didn't have time to knock on the door and wait for someone to open it. She kicked the door open heavily and ran to the priest's backyard without any pause.
If something unexpected happened to Mu Yin, she would find it hard to forgive herself. She stabbed the demon in the chest and slashed the demon's forehead. Although it was the demon that was injured, Mu Yin suffered the same pain.
"Master Priest! Help!"
Lanterns were lit in An Si's backyard, but he hadn't rested yet. Seeing Li Yian rushing in, An Si didn't ask too many questions. He quickly stood up and carried Mu Yin into the temple.
The sacred temple was covered with a long red plush carpet that extended all the way to the center of the temple. An Si placed Mu Yinping on the platform and lit sixteen long candles around the platform.
Li Yian stood in the audience, anxiously watching Mu Yin, whose skin had turned black and purple. The smoke rising from the long candle surrounded Mu Yin, gradually drawing out the black energy from his body.
An Si turned around and ordered seriously, "Go out and close the temple door. Don't come in. This black energy cannot be emitted outside the temple, nor can it be inhaled by mortals."
Li Yian quickly covered his mouth and nose, bowed respectfully to An Si, quickly ran out of the temple and closed the door tightly.
She leaned against the door, her heart in turmoil, until the sky in the east was getting light and the gentle voice of the high priest came from inside the house: "He is fine now." Li Yian's heart, which had risen to her throat, finally settled down.
However, once she calmed down, she realized she was trembling all over, and her mouth tasted of blood. It turned out her tongue and lips had been bitten at some point. She raised her wrist, where the demon had gripped it, and saw a dark bruise still faintly restraining her strength.
Her strength was so weak at the moment that she didn't even know when Mu Yang approached her. When she turned around and prepared to push open the door of the temple and go in to see Mu Yin, she felt someone grab her wrist.
She quickly turned around and pulled her hand away, only to find that Mu Yang, who had appeared out of nowhere, was pursing his lips and looking at her with red eyes.
