Chapter 230: Enemies from both sides lead to a stalemate
"You're right," Yinghuan leaned against a tree nearby and fiddled with her nails. "There is something strange in Yunmeng Lake. No wonder that woman Tumi was able to refine elixirs as soon as she entered."
But for a moment, no one responded to her. Only the birds in the forest could be heard singing, which was very strange.
After a long silence, Bai Wuchang walked out from the darkness. He folded his fan and began to fan himself leisurely.
"I have my own ideas on this matter, so I won't bother you." Bai Wuchang stared straight ahead, as if there was something deep in the forest. "But I'll have to trouble you to go to the Demon Lord."
After hearing this, Yinghua sighed helplessly, as if she was extremely dissatisfied: "Forget it, let's let that damn girl go first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a black mist wrapped around her body. After a moment, the black mist dissipated and Yinghuan disappeared.
After Yinghuan left, Bai Wuchang withdrew his gaze, glanced at Hui Wu who was sitting beside him in a miserable state, and an ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
……
As the earth shook, the originally calm swamp water surface became like boiling water in a stove, surging continuously with mud.
Not long after, a huge body suddenly jumped out of the water, and the series of long roars was deafening. Everyone had to cover their ears, but they still couldn't block out the roars.
When the vibration under his feet stopped, the body did not completely emerge from the water, but the roar stopped.
Everyone then realized that what was in front of them was actually a snake-like monster, but that monster actually had...
Eight heads!
No wonder the roars just now were of different pitches, like a group of people shouting. And the heads of the monsters all looked like human heads.
"What...what kind of monster is this..." Long Qi exclaimed. He didn't notice that his voice was a little loud. Perhaps his hearing hadn't recovered from the screams just now. "Why is it so strange? It actually has eight heads!"
"No... not eight..." Xinyi raised her hand and pointed loudly, "It's nine!"
Long Qi did not hear clearly what Xinyi said, but looked in the direction he pointed. The monster in front of him did have nine torsos, but the ninth torso had no head. Instead, it hung in the distance with old wounds, as if it had been chopped off a long time ago.
"It's Xiangliu." Lingxiang frowned and said in a deep voice.
"What? Xiangliu?" Long Qi's hearing seemed to have recovered a little, but he still spoke loudly. He asked in surprise, "That ancient evil god Xiangliu?"
That's right, this is the purpose of Lingxiang's trip. In the single prescription left by Tumi, one of the ingredients is Xiangliu's poisonous fang.
There is a description of Xiangliu in "Records of Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas", but Lingxiang never expected that Xiangliu would be so huge. Not to mention the snake body buried in the water, even the human body it separated from could occupy a mountaintop.
Now with Xiangliu in front and Yinghuan behind, he was attacked from both sides and was in a dilemma for the time being.
Xiangliu was originally an assistant to Gonggong. After the great god Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, he caused trouble everywhere, and everywhere he went became a swamp. He was later killed by Emperor Yu, who built the Wan Di Tai to suppress his flesh and blood.
These were all recorded in the books. Lingxiang was surprised when she saw Xiangliu's fang on the prescription, but she didn't expect that Xiangliu was actually hiding in Yunmengze.
It seems that we can’t believe everything written in the book!
And what's strange is that although the monster in front of her looked ferocious and terrifying, Lingxiang didn't sense a trace of hostility.
Shouldn't Xiangliu be the one who has eaten countless people and is extremely poisonous?
Hui Wu, who had never seen such a scene, was stunned for a moment. However, Yinghuan was a high-ranking demon after all, so he knew Xiangliu. He quickly pulled Hui Wu and tried to escape.
After Hui Wu came to his senses, he saw Zhao Wuyang sitting not far away, and he was immediately filled with resentment - even these so-called rich and powerful children had won all kinds of opportunities by virtue of their birth, so what virtue and ability did they have?
When he saw Zhao Wuyang, he thought of what happened to him in the Taishang Sect and what Shao Xunxuan had done to him. The thought in his mind just now was like a poisonous vine, tightly entwining Hui Wu, growing wildly and unable to break free.
Hui Wu finally couldn't hold back any longer, and he threw away Yinghua who was pulling him, and flew out, his face ferocious, his eyes bloodshot. His feet turned into devil claws, and he rushed towards Zhao Wuyang without hesitation, carrying a strong wind and devil miasma.
"Oh no!" Lingxiang cried out.
The appearance of Xiangliu destroyed the magic circle she had set up. While dodging the tremor just now, he was even further away from Zhao Wuyang. If she wanted to rescue him now, it was too late!
Besides...
Besides, there was Xiang Liu in front of him, who was watching him intently. If he acted rashly, no one knew what was going on.
Hui Wu's claws were approaching, and Xin Yi didn't care about anything else. She drew her sword and rushed out.
At this moment, Zhao Wuyang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fluorescence and his body was filled with spiritual energy.
"The demon-exterminating Qinghui!" Lingxiang was shocked. Could it be that after experiencing the search for Qi, Zhao Wuyang was able to use the demon-exterminating Qi to this extent?
This is the superior power of Qinghui to exorcise demons. Even Senior Brother Shangqing had practiced for decades before he achieved this.
Besides, could it be that Senior Brother Qianyuan was so confident in teaching Zhao Wuyang all the skills of exorcising demons? Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Just as Lingxiang was surprised, Zhao Wuyang shouted in a deep voice, and an invisible energy was immediately released from his body, which knocked Hui Wu, who was approaching, away a few feet.
Before Hui Wu could stand firm, Zhao Wuyang slapped the ground and flew into the air, twisting his fingers and making hand gestures, and flew straight towards Hui Wu like an arrow. When he got close to him, he turned his fingers into swords and pointed them at Hui Wu's face.
Judging from the moves, they are somewhat similar to Lingxiang's Lotus Heart Sword Technique, but the spiritual energy between Zhao Wuyang's fingers is purer.
That is the power to exorcise demons!
The sword shape began to appear on Zhao Wuyang's finger, and it was only a few inches away from Hui Wu. At this moment, a figure flashed by and took Hui Wu away in an instant.
It’s Huanhuan!
Yinghua's original intention was to kill Zhao Wuyang in one move when he was not prepared. But she didn't expect that when she was about to get close to him, Zhao Wuyang glanced at her. The murderous look in his eyes made her shudder instantly, so she had to turn around and rescue Hui Wu.
But even so, the devil horns on Hui Wu's head were cut off by Zhao Wuyang!
This kid is definitely not simple!
Yinghuan was filled with doubts, but she didn't want to put herself in danger. If Huiwu hadn't been in control of the magic array, she wouldn't have bothered with him.
As soon as Fang Yi rescued Hui Wu, Yinghuan took out a compass from his arms, and quickly drew on the compass with her fingers, muttering strange spells.
The compass glowed with magic light, and everyone was shocked when they saw it.
Is she going to summon the monster again?
If this is true, then we are surrounded by enemies on all sides!
Long Qi had already pulled out Long Yuan, and Xin Yi was also on high alert, but Ling Xiang only frowned slightly.
She just felt strange that the compass in Huiwu's hand before was made of mahogany, but the one that Yinghuan was holding now was black.
Just as she was thinking, the compass's magic light flashed, but then returned to calm in an instant.
At this time, Yinghuan and Huiwu had also disappeared.
