The end of the 1530s is approaching
ulated.""Humph," Old Mrs. Shen let out a cold snort, and with an indifferent flick of her sleeve, she left.My brother dragged me away from the Shen family: "Come on, come on, dealing with this family...Master Zong followed me to the side courtyard, his hands already forming seals.
His disciples made it their mission to exorcise demons and protect the righteous. At the sight of demonic energy, they would be eager to destroy it immediately.
"Master Zongdao...don't worry, he's been bound by a talisman and can't move." I tried to ease the tension.
“Being unable to move is nothing, Miss Xiao Qiao. When facing demonic and heretical beings, one cannot have even the slightest bit of feminine compassion! They are not only violent and greedy but also wicked and cunning. Showing them kindness often results in losing one’s life!” Master Zong said with a serious expression.
I can't argue with that, demons are indeed like that.
But judging by their silence, they don't seem like ordinary demons. The Demon Realm also has gods of various sizes, and it's not all about greed and fury...
"You're such an idiot! Are you kidding me! I'll kill you!" Chong Mo's furious roar echoed, completely clashing with my mood.
Oh... I couldn't help but put my hand to my forehead and push the door open.
Next to the wooden bed, Chenyan was trying to help him with his arm but because of nervousness and fear, she got it reversed, making Chongmo furious.
Chenyan, with tears in her eyes and trembling hands, took care of the tyrannical captive out of a desire to "contribute to her family."
"As I said, don't bully my little disciple. What fun is there in bullying children" I strode in and roared feigning anger.
Just as Chong Mo was about to retort, he suddenly saw Master Zong Dao walking in behind me.
In that instant, the atmosphere seemed to explode with sparks. Chong's pupils dilated suddenly, shrinking into a thin line at their center, becoming bloodshot crimson.
Just like a beast baring its fangs, when it sees its mortal enemy.
Master Zong Dao reacted incredibly quickly. Almost the moment he made eye contact with Chong Mo, he drew his peachwood sword from his back.
The wooden sword was etched with winding runes, its whole body mottled with a dark red hue.
"Demon!" he cursed, throwing a large talisman into the air. He pressed his sword tip against the falling talisman and stepped forward with the Yu step, striding towards Chong Mo who was lying on the bed!
This is the Demon Thunder Scripture! He's going to use the Exorcism Wood Sword to pierce the Demon Thunder Talisman into Chong Mo!
If this Close-Proximity Thunder Strike technique is unleashed, regardless of whether it harms the caster's physical body or soul, their dwelling would definitely be reduced to rubble!
I recalled the zombies I had crippled with my double-handed Lei Jue before, that sight... Ugh, please don't let it happen here!
"Master Zong Dao, stop!" I chased after him, wanting to stop him.
But it was too late. The jade Ruyi in my hand had just formed a sword edge when Zong Daozhang's wooden sword charged towards Mo silently --
"Ah—" a short, sharp cry.
The blade of the wooden sword was suddenly gripped by a pair of slender hands. Although it was made of wood, at this moment, Lei Xiao's sharp energy enveloped the sword, instantly slashing through flesh and skin —
Seeing the blood splatter, Master Zong immediately stopped his hand and shouted at Chen Yan, who was clutching the sword hilt, with a mixture of astonishment and anger: "A child knows nothing!"
The tip of the sword had already pressed the talisman onto Chong Mo's carapace on his right chest. Master Zong, determined to eradicate evil and never letting up, raised his hand to cast a spell!
Boom—
A bolt of lightning struck the roof with pinpoint accuracy!
Rubble flew everywhere, smoke billowed into the sky, and the ground trembled with the force of the impact.
...I shook my head. Everyone in the room looked like gray gophers.
I looked at the silence under the sword, secretly letting out a breath of relief. Fortunately, I stopped him.
Just now, Chen Yan seized Zong Daochang's sword, winning a moment's opportunity. I intercepted the giant thunderbolt triggered by the Grand Talisman.
The blade of the Zijiao Ruyi sword shimmered with purple light, its edge seeming to absorb the giant bolt of lightning that had just struck.
Shun Mo brushed off the dust, he wasn't hurt at all.
"Master Zong, whether Chong Mo is a demon or not, he's currently bound by the god's talisman and I personally brought him to the Shen family for watch. Even you... cannot move him without authorization." I said seriously.
Master Zong had stuck his sword into Chongmo's body, and Chongmo was still unable to move. He seemed to take my words to heart a little more.
He sighed and said, "Miss Xiao Qiao, I have been a demon slayer for thousands of years, deeply knowing that once mortals deal with demons, their inner anger will grow heavier and heavier. This demon must not be kept!"
"They have their purposes. For thousands of years, haven't there been many instances of demons testing humanity And not all of them harmed living beings. Please calm down first, I'll explain the whole story to you in detail." Seeing Master Zong relax his expression, I quickly soothed him.
Zong Daochang gave a wry smile and looked at my swordsmanship: “Even if I wanted to make a move, in front of Miss Xiao Qiao, I’m afraid it would be like showing off one's skills before a master.”
What kind of polite words are you saying
Zong Daochang sheathed his sword and turned to look at Chenyan. Chenyan was in pain, her eyes welling up with tears, but she sat silently on the side, kneeling and clutching her small Taoist robe to stop the bleeding.
"Little Daoist friend, why do you stand in my sword's path" asked Master Zong.
"...The head of the house called to stop." Chenyan answered in a low voice.
"Master Zong shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, he's a good disciple of the Shen family. Fortunately, this poor Taoist stopped in time. It's only a skin injury, go treat it quickly."
It was indeed a timely stop. If Master Zong had pressed on recklessly, despite it being a wooden sword, the situation could have easily resulted in flesh and bone being severed. Moreover, if Master Zong had swung his sword horizontally, his fingers would have likely been sliced off.
Right now, the smoke only marks a shallow scratch from ten fingers.
Chen Yan nodded slightly and went downstairs to find a family doctor to treat her wounds.
Shen Qingrui crossed her arms and leaned against the doorway, saying coolly: “Of course, disciples of the Shen family are good, but this house of the Shen family… it's pretty thoroughly broken down…”
I looked up and saw a huge hole in the ceiling, half the roof blown away. Half the wall had collapsed, leaving me truly with the sky as my ceiling and the wind as my bed.
Master Zong Dao was stunned.
》》》
I don't know if Master Zong Dao's school is wealthy or impoverished. When he kept insisting on compensation, I kept refusing him.
Finally calming Master Zong Dao's eagerness to defend against demons, when he heard about the appearance of the pearl of mirages, he became nervous again and couldn't sit still. He insisted on going to see it.
"If one's intentions are impure, they are easily led astray by demons. These gambling addicts are the most beloved followers of demons!" Master Zong summarized his experience: "These people hope to get rich quickly and turn their lives around, easily becoming desperate criminals!"
"Leaving the mirage pearl unattended will likely attract a large mob of ruffians lured by illusions."
Jiang Qiyun has already expanded the barrier, wanting to monitor the murderous aura in that area and prevent it from spreading further.
"But what about the people inside" Master Zong frowned deeply: "Even the barrier of immortal gods and deities can't stop ordinary people from coming and going freely. We also need to do something."
"What are we going to do Where do those people even live, are we going to knock on each door and tell them to move That's insane, they'd think we were crazy." I shook my head.
Zong Daochang pondered for a moment: "And as Miss Xiao Qiao said, that spirit of the big-headed wicked child is probably the key. I want to investigate and track it down."
"Shen Qingrui let out a sneer and said, "This is my Shen family's territory. We investigate here, you should go back north and figure out what's going on with the demons at the plague god temple."
The Temple of the Plague God... I need to ask Jiang Qiyun about this properly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ren't you being a little stingy Mu Wanchen has helped us twice, and he hasn't bullied me or anything. He just played a harmless prank." I looked at him helplessly, "Then why don't you teach me how to...
