It seems that even among those who belong to the Apocalypse Alliance, not everyone knows Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan glanced at the demon who had already split into two and left, then turned his gaze back to the monster in the air.
"Your companion ran quite fast, but it's a little late now."
While Ji Yuan was speaking, a bright sword light flashed in the distance, and the unparalleled sharp sword energy cut through the thin clouds in the night sky.
When the demon in the sky saw the sword energy in the distance, he subconsciously got goose bumps on his body. He suddenly retreated more than ten feet in the wind and looked at Ji Yuan and said sternly.
"Are you a sword master?"
To be honest, the immortal cultivators that demons hate and fear the most are mostly sword immortals, because sword immortals are often the most murderous among the immortal cultivators, and naturally they are also the most diligent in slaying demons and monsters. Other immortal cultivators mostly slay demons and monsters when they encounter them, but some traveling sword immortals may seek out demons and monsters to kill.
The monster in the air instantly released its hidden state, and demonic energy surged into the sky, and the monster's shadow rose up and roared at the sky.
"Gu Gua~~~~"
This is a huge toad. After the roar, the monster's human form began to expand rapidly. The toad's shadow gradually turned into a solid entity, and a terrifying toad with tumors on its back fell from the sky.
"Boom..."
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and evil and poisonous gases covered a large area of the sky.
“Quack~~~~~”
The toad's roar was extremely piercing. As the roar ended, more black and purple poisonous gas was sprayed out. Within a few breaths, a large area of poisonous fog had formed around it, and was still rapidly spreading towards the outer area.
Ji Yuan had heard of a toad turning into a spirit once before, that was a legend from Guangdong Lake. This was the first time he had seen it. This giant toad was now covered in black and purple evil spirits and poisonous clouds. The evil spirit was so strong that the surrounding plants began to wither and even rot.
"Whoosh..."
A sharp sound was rang out, and Ji Yuan had already dodged dozens of feet at the same time as the sound was heard. And where he was originally standing, the ground was directly shattered by a huge tongue, and then countless pieces of gravel and mud were blown away.
“Woo woo woo…”
The toad's tongue was like a giant red whip dozens of feet long, waving wildly in an area of several hundred feet in radius. The saliva and poisonous gas it brought up turned the surrounding rocks and soil into purple-red, and the evil spirit and murderous aura seemed to burn the poisonous fog.
“Gugua~~~~Gugua~~~~Gugua~~~~~”
"Bang... Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The chirping of toads and the roar of ground explosions intertwined together, the sound was so loud that even many people in the capital were awakened from their sleep. However, it was only limited to the outer areas. The imperial palace and a large area around it were still quiet.
The toad was attacking continuously at this moment, but he did not feel proud at all. What he was best at was poison, but at this moment he clearly felt that all the poisonous gas could not get close to the immortal's body, as if it would automatically avoid him if it got close, not to mention attacking and corroding his magic power, which was equivalent to cutting off most of his strength.
"Gua~~~~Tu Yun, why don't you come and help!"
After such a long time, there is still no movement in the capital, and the immortal in front of him looks so relaxed. In addition, the demon escaped directly before, so one can imagine the pressure and impatience in the toad's heart.
Ji Yuan did not fight back directly, but dodged left and right like a phantom. Although the monster's attack seemed a bit simple, it was actually quite powerful. He could see that the poison was the key, but unfortunately it posed little threat to him.
The fight lasted only a dozen breaths. Seeing that it could only force Ji Yuan to retreat, the toad spit out huge bubbles of water while making croaking sounds. Some of them floated into the sky, while others quickly fell to the ground.
“Snap”, “Snap”, “Snap”, “Snap”…
All the bubbles burst, a dark cloud rose in the sky, and water out of proportion to its size burst out on the ground. Soon a stream of water rose from the ground, as if a flood had occurred.
“Gu Gua ...
The toad called out to the sky twice, then jumped into the water with a "splash".
"Boom..."
The sky was covered with clouds, lightning and thunder, but the heavy rain had not yet fallen. Ji Yuan suddenly appeared somewhere in the small flood, riding on the waves. The golden and healthy energy gathered in his body and lungs, and he pointed his right hand into the water with his sword-like finger.
"Boo~"
A sword light similar to the Qingteng Sword but much more obscure flashed by, and the flood under the feet instantly split into two paths. Almost at the same moment, the sword energy pierced the stomach of a toad that had even escaped under the soil somewhere underwater.
There was a muffled "bang..." sound, just like a balloon being punctured, the toad's body trembled, and a lot of black and purple blood burst out...
Half a quarter of an hour later, the Green Ivy Sword flew back from afar, and after a soft sword sound, it was suspended behind Ji Yuan again, quietly as if nothing had happened. In the process of chasing the demon, he used a total of two sword strikes. After the two sword strikes, the demon disappeared, but the Green Ivy Sword still used the third sword strike, which directly crushed all the remaining souls and demonic energy, eliminating any possibility of the demon's escape.
The flood that had gathered outside the capital had long since dissipated, and even the ground was too dry and cracked. The sky was clear again, and the surrounding poisonous fog and venom had all disappeared. Only some half-corroded trees remained, but with the strong vitality of plants, these trees will still grow back after the spring.
…
In the post station area near the imperial palace in the capital, Hui Tong stood in front of the post station with a Zen stick on his head, looking calm and composed. Lu Qianyan and Gan Qingle stood beside him. Lu Qianyan was fine, except for being covered in sweat and looking a little disheveled, she didn't have many injuries. Her chest heaved violently to recover her breath, and her eyes frequently glanced at the bearded Gan Qingle on the side. She saw that Gan Qingle had small cuts all over his body, and what was even stranger was that his hair and beard were all red, and his blood was like a rising red fire, still burning at this moment.
"Good is the Great Ming King Buddha. All living things have a beginning and an end. Dust returns to dust, and the souls of the dead return to heaven and earth. Good is good!"
The salvation has been completed, and opposite Hui Tong and others, there are two women who were formerly glamorous and beautiful. Now, one of them has broken bodies all over, and the other has wounds and burn marks on her body.
After Huitong chanted the Buddha's name, the two corpses gradually revealed their true forms and turned into two foxes covered in wounds.
"Oh, has the master completed the salvation?"
Ji Yuan's voice also sounded from the side at this time, sounding very relaxed. His eyes were focused on Gan Qingle, but he did not comment too much on his current situation.
"Mr. Ji is here. If you hadn't used words to set up the formation, it would have been much more difficult to save these two transformed monsters."
"Well, the streets of the capital will also be damaged a lot."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan waved his sleeves, and streaks of dark light flew towards the direction of the imperial palace. The streets of the post station area where they were located seemed to have receded as if an invisible and colorless tide had receded. Except for the two dead foxes on the ground, the originally damaged streets, walls, houses and other objects had returned to their original state.
Chu Ruyan, who had been worried in the post station, finally saw Monk Huitong and others appear in front of her, and rushed out of the post station at once.
"Master, Qianyan, are you all right?"
"Your Highness, I'm fine, and the Master is also fine."
Gan Qingle subconsciously looked down at the wounds on his body. Seeing this, Ji Yuan smiled and couldn't help but say something.
"The most seriously injured is Hero Gan. Princess, please ask the doctor to treat his injuries."
"Ah? Oh yes, come here, treat Hero Gan's injury."
Monk Huitong looked in the direction of the imperial palace, holding a Zen stick in one hand and performing a Buddhist salute to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, the second half of the play takes place in the palace?"
"Yes, it's not over tonight. Master has to go to the palace to eliminate the demon with the great Buddhist Dharma. However, Tu Yun is definitely not an ordinary fox demon. It may be a fox demon with at least six tails. Master needs some external force."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan spread out his right hand, revealing a stack of magic coins in his palm. There were more than twenty of them, which was definitely a large number. Moreover, these magic coins were different from the previous ones. They integrated the magic coins of the past into the "Miaohua Tianshu". The magic coins nowadays were much more difficult to refine, but after they were formed, there was no trace of life or matter. Holding them in the hands was just an indescribable mysterious spiritual object.
"This item is the Dharma coin refined by Ji Mou. It can be said to be mysterious and unpredictable. Master, you can use it to bless the Dharma. However, the Dharma can cause self-inflicted servitude and mental distress. It consumes a lot of mental energy. Even with the master's concentration, you must use it with caution."
Of course, the magic money is useful, but even if you have extra magic power out of thin air, you still have to control it. The more changes there are, the more mental consumption there is. However, Ji Yuan trusts Hui Tong more and knows that this monk has a good mind and concentration.
…
In the palace, the Emperor of Tianbao Kingdom was currently sleeping soundly with Concubine Hui in his arms in the Pixiang Palace. The contact of their naked skin gave the Emperor an extremely comfortable feeling. Most nights he would sleep with Concubine Hui in his arms, and occasionally in the middle of sleep, the Emperor's hands would become naughty.
At this moment, the emperor was sleeping soundly, and he seemed to have a slight urge to urinate. In the distance, a melodious bell sound seemed to ring in his ears.
“Ding… Ding… Ding…”
The emperor slowly opened his eyes and saw the moonlight coming in from outside. He looked at the person next to him. Her skin was as white as cream under the moonlight. He couldn't help but touch her. When his hand touched Concubine Hui's back, the emperor suddenly trembled.
The touch just now felt a little wrong. The emperor slowly straightened his body and carefully leaned over. Just one glance made his heart skip a beat.
"This this… "
The emperor breathed rapidly and suddenly thought of something, his eyes searching the head and sides of the bed.
'Where are the beads? Where are the beads? Where are my beads?'
"Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
The soft voice of Concubine Hui frightened the emperor so much that he trembled and slowly turned his head to look to the side. He was so frightened that his hair stood on end and his heart stopped. Many fine hairs appeared on Concubine Hui's face, her mouth and nose were covered with sharp teeth, and there were fox whiskers on her nose. Two white fox ears were exposed among her still soft long hair.
This is not the gentle and lovely Concubine Hui at all, she is clearly a monster!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
“Ah~~~~~!”
With a shrill howl, Emperor Tianbao suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Huh... Huh... Huh..."
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, breathing heavily. His vision slowly turned from blurry to clear. It was still the same bed, the same moonlight. He carefully turned sideways and looked to the side. Concubine Hui was still as gentle and lovely as ever, with skin as white and tender as if it could be blown away.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Hui's voice rang out, frightening the emperor.
"No, nothing, I just had a nightmare..."
