Chapter Twenty-Six: Lonely Lantern and Magic Branch
Xu Xiao's eyes were stung by the bright light. He opened his eyes slightly, and there was a stinging sensation in his eyes. Even if he forced himself to look, he could only see a blur of white.
He knew in his heart that he was temporarily unable to see, but with his ability, he could fight even if he was blindfolded.
Seeing that the Red Snake's attack became more and more fierce, Yan Wuya gave up fighting force with force. For him, instead of using force alone, skillful sword moves were his real method.
He stood in mid-air, with a long sword like a rainbow in his hand. He held a sword in his arms and used his physical advantage to continuously attack the giant snake.
With a "ding" sound, the long sword flew toward the giant snake's eyeball. The giant snake refused to dodge. The long sword pierced its eye, but it made a sound like hitting a stone.
Seeing that the plan had succeeded, the red snake burst into laughter, and with a flick of its head, it knocked Yan Wuya away.
Yan Wuya took a few steps back and stood, his expression becoming more solemn.
The feeling of the blow just now was definitely not that of flesh and blood. The red snake had developed intelligence and actually replaced its seemingly weak eyeball with something else. Others only thought this eye was a weakness, but little did they know that it was stiffer than scales.
.
"No wonder its eyes are as bright as the moon in a place like this. Are they actually fake eyes?" Thinking of this, Yan Wuya felt some admiration for the red snake in his heart. It is difficult for monsters to cultivate, let alone in a place like this.
, but the red snake broke through the racial restrictions and cultivated itself to the point of transcending the tribulation.
Maybe there's something good about the solitary lantern and the magic branch, but no matter what, the red snake is really amazing.
However, Yan Wuya did not intend to stop there. On the contrary, the sword in his hand remembered the sound of the sword, and he actually used 100% of his strength to fight against the red snake.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, give me a helping hand." He shouted, then stepped forward, his body was like light, and he quickly struck the giant snake's body with his sword.
Xu Xiao covered his eyes with a piece of cloth. When he heard his call, his heart suddenly became enlightened. He summoned his long sword and laughed loudly: "Come and fight!"
The two walked through the giant snake very quickly. Although the scales on the giant snake's body were extremely hard, standing here were two Mahayana sword cultivators. How many people in the world can fight in front of these two people? I'm afraid they are the only ones who can fight.
Only the gods in the sky dare to face the majesty of these two people!
One sword, two swords, three swords... Countless swords fell on the giant snake. The giant snake was huge and powerful. The price in exchange was slowness. Just like an elephant is afraid of mosquitoes, the giant snake was also ignored by the two at this moment.
Tortured by intermittent attacks.
It kept shaking its body, causing waves of ground movement, and threw its tail heavily on the ground, trying to slap the two of them away, but they both dodged in time and continued to hit.
The giant snake let out a mournful cry. It was extremely angry and helpless. It turned its head and wanted to bite the two people on its body, but it was dodged and bit its own body instead.
Yan Wuya and Xu Xiao were not chopping down the giant snake without purpose. They slashed at the same place one after another, and the others were just feints. However, they slashed at this one spot hundreds or thousands of times.
The giant snake has not discovered this yet. It only feels that the two people on its body are as annoying as mosquitoes, but it is not worried that they can hurt itself. Its scales are so strong that it can block even lightning disasters.
However, when that spot broke after the 50,000th blow, the giant snake suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was already too late.
Yan Wuya and Xu Xiao simultaneously inserted the long swords in their hands into the rupture. The long swords pierced the flesh and blood below and blood flowed out. The two of them simultaneously concentrated all the remaining spiritual power on the sword tip. After a muffled sound, the flesh and blood at the rupture
Exploded.
The two people had already pushed away, and the giant snake let out a feeble wail. The flesh and blood inside continued to explode, but the scales on the outside were not damaged because they were too strong. The explosion was sealed in the body, constantly causing impact to it, even if it was repaired with spiritual power.
To no avail.
The spiritual power of this explosion belonged to the two Mahayana monks. It was not until three hours later that the giant snake died painfully. Blood flowed from its mouth, winding on the land like a small river.
It was only at this moment that Yan Wuya and Xu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. They took a few pills to restore their spiritual power. The pills melted in their mouths, and their spiritual power gradually recovered.
After another half an hour, Xu Xiao finally recovered his eyesight and was able to see things.
Just now, the giant snake's final struggle killed a large group of coveting monster beasts. The ground was covered with blood clots and bones. I wonder if it was an illusion, but the red mist in the air seemed to be brighter, as if it had sucked the blood of the monster beasts.
But the next batch of monsters will rush over immediately. The two of them took off the lantern magic branch. Xu Xiao even took a mustard seed ring and put the giant snake's body inside. Only the mustard seed space has such a large space that he can call him.
Take away the giant snake.
The two of them hurried on while taking drugs and adjusting their breath. Five days later, they found the entrance to the secret realm again and left the secret realm.
Outside the entrance to the secret realm was an uninhabited forest. The two of them meditated and waited until the injuries on their bodies were completely healed before stopping to adjust their breath.
Yan Wuya took out the box containing the lantern and magic branches and gave half of it to Xu Xiao. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao threw a storage bag. This kind of storage bag is not as big as the mustard space, but it is also the best.
"This is?" Yan Wuya was confused.
"Although it is of no use to us, if you have juniors, it would be useful to make a robe or something like that. I have seen that if you make it well, it can at least block attacks below the body level, and it can even withstand thunder tribulations.
A few times is considered a good thing."
He looked at Yan Wuya's thoughtful look and laughed: "Seeing that fellow Taoist is also a loner, if he meets someone he likes and takes him as a disciple in the future, he will have to prepare some magic weapons and elixirs.
Otherwise, if you are wronged due to lack of resources outside, it will be really embarrassing and embarrassing."
Although most sword cultivators are not rich, they also have the reason to hone their minds, and most of them live a relatively simple life. For example, Yan Wuya does not pursue quality of life. The houses he lives in the mountains are all bamboo houses built by himself. It is cool in summer.
In winter... sword cultivators are not afraid of the cold.
But this does not mean that he has no resources. He has a lot of good things in his storage bag. He only occasionally takes them out to change what he needs, but usually keeps them.
Xu Xiao is completely different. He cares for his disciples and trains them on the one hand, but as a teacher, he naturally has to pave the way for his disciples. Otherwise, why would people worship you as their teacher?
Teacher, teacher and father.
That's the truth.
Yan Wuya accepted it anyway, and the two of them said goodbye to each other and left without saying anything else.
After obtaining the lone lantern magic branch, Yan Wuya rushed back to the place where Zhou Kongjin was without stopping, and it took him about the same time as when he came to arrive at Zhou Kongjin's hidden residence.
When the sky cleared the courtyard, Yan Wuya hurriedly opened the door to the room, but the scene in front of him made him startled.
Ji Kong was not in the room, instead there was a wooden barrel. Someone was bathing in the barrel. Her long black hair was tied up, and a few strands of hair fell down and stuck to her skin. She seemed to be frightened by the sudden intruder.
Staring with a pair of cat eyes, he shrank into the water like a tired kitten.
"you……"
Chao Huan didn't expect that Yan Wuya would suddenly barge in. She was soaking in the detoxification medicinal bath prepared by Zhou Kongjin. Zhou Kongjin left for something two days ago and left the medicinal bath for her to detoxify every day.
Perhaps because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control it well, the medicinal baths provided by Ju Kong Jin during the past two days were less effective. Although they could only control the spread of toxins, they would not cause her that much pain.
It was the same today. She was taking a medicinal bath when Yan Wuya suddenly barged in.
Embarrassed, Chao Huan sank into the water, and the scattered herbs covered her up, which at least gave Chao Huan some comfort. She looked at Yan Wuya with her eyes open, hoping that the other party would notice this embarrassment as soon as possible and leave voluntarily.
.
Yan Wuya didn't realize it at all. He frowned, obviously realizing that he had been deceived by Ju Kong Jin.
"How's your poison..." he asked, looking at Chao Huan, as if he didn't notice anything wrong with this situation at all.
Chao Huan felt extremely helpless, but the person in front of her was Yan Wuya, so she could only answer obediently, "There are still a few days left before the poison can be completely detoxified. Ji Kongjin left the two of them because he had something urgent to do, and he will probably be back tomorrow."
Yan Wuya nodded. He wanted to say something else, but Chao Huan spoke first.
"Master Dao, can you... step back for a moment or two?"
Only then did Yan Wuya notice that Chao Huan was still taking a medicinal bath. He was startled, then he realized what he was doing and turned around and walked out of the room.
"Click"
The door closed with a sound. Chao Huan waited for a moment to make sure that Yan Wuya had left, then stood up from the tub, dried his body and put on clothes.
When she finished cleaning up and went out, she saw Yan Wuya standing under the peach tree in the yard. Yan Wuya had his hands behind his back. Just looking at his appearance, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Chao Huan walked forward, called out respectfully, and stood aside without saying anything.
After a long time, Yan Wuya spoke again, "Where did the injury on your chest... come from?"
Chao Huan was stunned. She realized that Yan Wuya had just seen her. She was helpless and felt a little funny at the same time. It turned out that Yan Wuya had been standing here for so long, thinking about this matter.
The wound on her chest was a memory that Chao Huan could never forget. She actually didn't want to mention it. In front of Zhou Kongjin and Lian Yunlan, she didn't mention the past at all.
But Yan Wuya's gaze was very penetrating, as cold as ice and snow, but not ruthless.
In fact, Chao Huan always felt that although Yan Wuya was very powerful, he was a very simple person. When Chao Huan asked him why he was looking for her, he told the truth. Chao Huan was poisoned, so he took her into a trap.
.
It's too simple.
Although this simplicity is followed by powerful strength, for Chao Huan, this simplicity is also extremely valuable. Just like she can't bear to hurt Lian Yunlan, she is also unwilling to deceive Yan Wuya at this moment.
"It's my twin brother. He took out my heart."
Chao Huan briefly talked about what happened back then, without going into details. For some reason, she was a little afraid of making Yan Wuya sad.
As expected, Yan Wuya fell silent after hearing Chao Huan's words.
The peach blossoms in the yard were blooming like it was raining. Chao Huan stretched out her hand to catch a few petals of the flowers. Her face was exposed to the sun and she scattered the petals in her hand.
She was not as sad as she thought. Perhaps it was the first time she told others about this past, but she felt a sense of relief. Those dark pasts, mixed with death and betrayal, had hidden love in them.
.
For her, having someone to share this memory with is unexpectedly a good experience.
Just why is this person Yan Wuya?
Chao Huan doesn't know either. This chapter has been completed!
