A talisman specially used to attract monsters to appear, but at this time, it became a real life-threatening talisman.
The thick essence and blood ignited in the body of the catfish spirit, not only damaging the monster's body, but also burning its very foundation.
As the red light in its belly became stronger and stronger, the monster's aura began to drop. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not change the situation where its essence was burned.
For creatures who have not yet developed magic power, this essence is the foundation, not only the embodiment of vitality, but also the source of strength.
But at this moment, within a few feet of the monster as the center, thick water vapor suddenly gathered, and in several people's ears, there was even the sound of a stream flowing.
The catfish spirit seemed to be back in the water, swimming in the water vapor all over the sky. It opened its mouth and swallowed a large amount of water spirit. While the blue light on its body emerged, the red light in its belly was gradually suppressed.
It suddenly raised its head and looked up, its eyes full of anger, its whole body covered in thick water vapor, swimming back and forth in mid-air as if it were in water.
"Amitabha."
The Buddha's name fell, and in an instant the Buddha's light slowly rose like the sun.
A total of one hundred and eight beads strung together suddenly rose into the air, and then fell as heavy as a mountain, suppressing the light of the Buddha.
The monster did not dare to look directly at the Buddha's light. With a sway of its body, a lot of water vapor rose up into the sky like a wave and hit the rosary beads that were suppressing it.
Rumble!!!
Loud noises rose like thunder, and the water-locking formation covered with eighteen small flags began to shake violently, and the river below continued to surge.
The people who had previously ignored the matter and did not believe the persuasion suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly ran towards the distance, hoping to get away from the Xiyu River that had been dependent on water for generations in the shortest possible time.
"This monster actually has a magic weapon!"
Ji Yuan suddenly let out a low shout.
In the center of the river, a round bead flew out of the catfish spirit's mouth, spinning around in mid-air, and suddenly spewed out billowing water.
But with a snap of a finger, the entire area covered by the formation was filled with thick water essence, and the blue brilliance was so rich that it was almost impossible to see the scene inside.
At the same time, the bead soared into the sky, carrying the heavy water essence, and crashed into the Buddhist rosary beads that were suppressed and falling in the air!
boom!
With a loud noise, one hundred and eight rosary beads suddenly rose up to a height of several feet, and even the Buddha's light in the sky seemed to be knocked back by the endless water spirit!
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan held a bronze oil lamp and placed it in front of him. With a thought, the wick in the oil lamp spontaneously ignited without fire.
He lifted up half of the energy in his body and blew a sharp breath towards the small flame on the wick.
In an instant, blazing flames spurted out, turning into a giant flame python in one breath. In just a blink of an eye, it swung its body and came to the front of the catfish spirit.
When the water essence and the flames came into contact, they suddenly made a sizzling sound, and countless white mist rose up, almost blocking everyone's sight.
But one could see that in the white mist, a fire python was wrapped around a huge catfish spirit, and blue lights flashed crazily in the raging fire.
After Ji Yuan took action and launched an attack with a bronze oil lamp, the pressure on the Buddhist rosary in mid-air was greatly reduced, and it once again carried the Buddha's light all over the sky and pressed down, almost hitting the monster.
Between the two, there is only one bead left struggling to support itself, spurting out heavy and thick water essence as if regardless of cost.
Ji Yuan felt a bit toothache when he saw this scene. There were so many pure water essences that must have been accumulated by the catfish essence in the past hundred years. If they were used to make elixirs or even practice cultivation, they would be called rare spiritual objects.
But no matter how unfortunate it is now, the intensity of the attack cannot be reduced by half.
After thinking about this, he suddenly mobilized the remaining energy in his body, and combined with the spiritual energy contained in the bronze oil lamp, he once again transformed into a flaming python, and in a flash, it wrapped around the monster in the mist.
"wrong!"
Suddenly, Ji Yuan's expression changed and he shouted loudly: "Quickly retreat!"
He retreated immediately and cut off the connection between the fire python and the bronze oil lamp for two days. He was willing to abandon the spiritual energy in it and wanted to stay away from the river bank as quickly as possible.
When several people on the side saw this, they quickly retreated like him!
Among them, the two young men, the young girl, were the most agile in their movements. They were already on the edge of the formation, but they just dodged a few times and got away from the place.
On the contrary, Hui Xin, a monk, showed hesitation at this moment, looking at the rosary in mid-air with reluctance.
Zhao Yuansong, who was still standing next to him, grabbed his shoulder and led him back quickly.
In a few clicks, thick water essence poured out with a loud noise. Buddha's light, water vapor, and flames intertwined on the entire river, creating a raging explosion.
Boom!!!
Violent power surged across the river, stirring up dozens of water pillars that shot into the sky, and eighteen small flags used to set up formations were immediately shattered in the explosion.
Fortunately, the Buddhist rosary itself is a magical weapon of excellent quality. Although the aura was dimmed under the impact of the explosion, it was not destroyed anyway. After the aura in it was exhausted, it fell powerlessly on the river bank.
It took a full half-quarter of an hour for all the movements to gradually calm down, and countless river waters rising into the sky continued to fall like drizzle.
When everyone returned to the shore and looked at the mess in front of them, they didn't know what to say for a moment.
After an explosion, the houses on both sides of the Xiyu River collapsed. Among the ruins, there were still a few people who were reluctant to leave their homes, or who were lucky enough to be trapped under the fallen beams and bricks.
"This monster is really willing to give up. In order to save his own life, he even gave up the water essence accumulated in the past hundred years and a spiritual object."
Xu Qiqi stamped his foot, then gritted his teeth and shouted.
In the previous explosion, the catfish spirit took advantage of the formation's disintegration and quietly hid at the bottom of the Xiyu River with its ability to master water. It is estimated that it had already quickly escaped from here.
However, even if it escaped with its life, I think the other party must have suffered serious injuries. If there is no accident, at least for several years, or even more than ten years, he will not have the strength to cause trouble and secretly kill the person who fell into the water.
People.
It's just that if they want to kill this monster in the future, they will undoubtedly spend more energy. The other party will definitely become cautious after they have already suffered a loss.
"Amitabha, this young monk should bear all the responsibilities."
Huixin held the rosary she had picked up, her face full of guilt and self-blame.
If he is willing to use up all the spiritual energy in the rosary, and even let it suffer some damage, the catfish spirit will not have a chance to escape from the almost certain death situation at the cost of giving up a spiritual object.
After hearing this, several people present seemed a little silent, and even the little Taoist priest who had the best relationship with him did not say a word to comfort him.
As a monk, even if you are not subduing demons, even if you have conflicts with other people and fight against each other, you should do your best.
It is really not a wise move to feel so distressed about the loss of spiritual energy, or even to be reluctant to part with the appearance of the magic weapon.
If it were just a conflict between monks, the worst result would be death, but when it comes to subduing demons, once mistakes are made and the demons that cause trouble are released...
Ji Yuan sighed silently. He had seen that the Buddha's light on Huixin's body had weakened a lot in silence.
This is the guilt that heaven and earth rained upon him after he let go of the demons. Sins were added to his body silently, canceling out his merits and deeds, and wearing away the Buddha's light that he had accumulated for several years.
"What should we do now?"
The little Taoist priest sighed and turned to look at Zhao Yuansong.
This person is worthy of being the outer eldest brother of the Jiu Xuan Sect. Even though he destroyed a set of precious formation flags, there is not much strange color on his face. Instead, there is a strong look of worry in his eyes.
After a while, Zhao Yuansong took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Let's inform the county government first, and then we'll see how to remedy the situation."
Fortunately, they had not notified the county government to come here to slay the monsters. Otherwise, the losses at this time would not only be a set of formation flags, but also the spiritual energy loss of two magic weapons.
I am afraid that at least twenty or thirty officers, soldiers and police officers will be killed in the explosion just now!
Ji Yuan nodded without any opinion. This was indeed the case given the current situation.
But he suddenly frowned and looked around slightly suspiciously. Faintly, he felt as if he had overlooked something.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Yuansong saw his expression change slightly and immediately asked.
Ji Yuan shook his head and glanced around. At this time, the people on both sides of the strait who were crushed in the rubble had been rescued by Zhao Yuansong's two junior brothers and sisters. Although each of them was in a miserable state, fortunately they were not seriously injured.
"Wait! Where is my fifth senior brother?"
He suddenly reacted and found that his senior brother was not in his sight.
Hearing this, several people here were stunned, and soon found that the tall man really didn't know where he had gone.
Could it be that in the previous explosion...
Ji Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and the indifference on his face suddenly disappeared, and he searched everywhere with nervous eyes.
At this moment, the calm river surface suddenly began to ripple, followed by sprays of water rising up. Under the watchful eyes of several people, a tall figure emerged from the water and swam quickly to the shore.
"Brother!"
Ji Yuan's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward immediately. After carefully looking at the side, he confirmed that the fifth senior brother was not injured, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did you jump into the water so calmly?"
"Do you know that doing this can be very dangerous?"
"That monster might leave and come back again!"
The young man blamed loudly and roared at his senior brother.
Guo Tao scratched the back of his head with a naive smile on his face. Ever since his junior brother embarked on the path of spiritual practice more than a year ago, he had never seen him show such a gaffe.
It's like after becoming a monk, the little junior brother has grown up all of a sudden. Although he still looks weird with his master and other senior brothers occasionally, he has indeed become a little adult.
While he was thinking, he stretched out his hand in front of his junior brother, opened his palm, and revealed a round bead in his large palm.
This object was exactly the one used by the catfish spirit earlier, which contained abundant water essence. However, in order to escape, the catfish spirit consumed nearly half of the water essence in one go.
"I think you really want it now. Let's see if we can find it in the water."
Guo Tao laughed naively and stuffed the ball into the arms of his stunned junior brother.
After quite a while, Ji Yuan finally came back to his senses and waited for his senior brother angrily. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But there was a warmth in his heart that quietly spread throughout his body. This chapter has been completed!
