Chapter 16: Red Escapes
Li Daoxuan fell to the ground helplessly, all his magical powers exhausted.
This was due to his previous improvement in Taoism, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to activate four second-grade Five Thunder Talismans at the same time.
Lying on the ground in an imageless manner, Li Daoxuan seemed to see a group of white-haired old men who bowed to him in gratitude and then disappeared.
At this moment, Lijia Village completely disappeared.
In Li Daoxuan's mind, the "Book of Exorcising Demons" shone again, and lines of words appeared.
"In the first year of Zhenguan, in May, I killed a fierce ghost in Lijia Village and received a reward - a top-grade magic weapon [Ancient Sword Fish Intestine]!"
"Yuchang Sword (One of the ten famous swords in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is the sword of great courage that Zhuan Zhu used to assassinate King Liao. It was forged by sword-making master Ou Yezi using tin from Chijin Mountain and copper from Ruoye Creek, which was forged after being sprinkled with rain and struck by lightning, and obtained the essence of heaven and earth. It is one foot and nine inches long and is a sword of killing. Ministers use it to kill their kings, and sons use it to kill their fathers, and this has been going on for generations. Therefore, it is full of evil spirits and can shock ghosts, deter gods, and drive away evil spirits!)"
There are three grades of magic weapons, namely top grade, middle grade and low grade. Li Daoxuan didn't expect to get a top grade magic weapon, which is an attack and killing type. He is so lucky!
You know, magic weapons are very precious. Take the shroud that brought Li Daoxuan great trouble, for example. It is a magic weapon, and not necessarily a top-grade one.
The only pity is that the Yuchang sword is a short sword, and he actually prefers a long sword.
Li Daoxuan sat up, gathered his strength and prepared to regulate his breathing. As for the Yuchang Sword, he did not take it out for the time being.
The items rewarded by the Demon-Slaying Book can be kept in the book until he chooses to extract them. Once he takes them out, he can no longer put them back.
Although he really wanted to take a look at this top-grade magical weapon, Li Daoxuan still held back. After all, if it was kept in the book, it could be used as a trump card and have unexpected effects.
But Li Daoxuan, who was immersed in joy, did not notice that the ghost bride who was standing quietly behind him suddenly moved her fingers.
The wedding dress she was wearing was red and sticky, like pulp or blood, and it was actually flowing upwards, slowly soaking through the talisman.
The talisman was dyed red little by little, and her red veil fluttered in the wind. Finally, it was blown up suddenly, carrying the talisman into the air.
…
Li Daoxuan was regulating his breathing to recover his magic power, but he felt something suddenly fall down and land on his head, like something like silk.
There is also a faint fragrance.
He opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pulled off the thing on his head, cursing: "What the hell is this? Who is throwing the red veil around——"
Before he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan's pupils trembled violently. This familiar red veil, and the talisman soaked in blood...
A huge chill enveloped him, making his hands and feet cold and his body stiff.
A few strands of long hair hung down and fell on Li Daoxuan's neck, making him tremble and feel creepy.
run!
Li Daoxuan used the little bit of magic power he had just recovered and wanted to escape by shrinking the earth, but the next moment, he felt a pain in his heart. He looked down and saw that a white and slender hand had pierced through his chest and was holding a pounding red heart.
…
The moment he saw the heart being dug out, Li Daoxuan's body turned cold, but strangely, he did not feel any pain.
Then with a crisp sound, Li Daoxuan saw that his heart that had been dug out turned into a piece of ancient jade, which was crushed into pieces by the ghost bride.
It was the ancient jade that Zhang Qianyang gave him!
Li Daoxuan's eyes blurred and his body moved dozens of feet in the air, escaping from the control of the ghost bride.
At this moment, he was very grateful to Zhang Qianyang. That ancient jade should be a very precious magic weapon, which could not only exorcise demons and evil spirits, but also have the effect of substitution for death!
If it weren't for that ancient jade, he would have been a corpse now!
Without hesitation, Li Daoxuan ran and headed out the door.
However, countless black lines floated over and wrapped around his waist. Li Daoxuan looked down and found that they were actually hair!
The next moment, he felt as if something was crawling up his back, and a hand was wrapped around his neck and grabbed his eyes.
A ruthless look flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes. Even if he died, he would bite the other person hard!
Yuchang Sword, extract!
A short sword suddenly appeared in Li Daoxuan's hand, hidden in an ancient black scabbard.
With the sound of sword clang, Li Daoxuan drew out his sword .
Under the moonlight, the Yuchang sword seemed to be flashing a faint light, and the sword body was like a pool of autumn water, clear and bright, wrapped in a strong murderous aura, slashing towards the ghost hand that reached out to Li Daoxuan's eyes!
Li Daoxuan seemed to hear a shrill cry in his ears, and the ghost hand quickly retracted, as if it was injured.
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up with joy, it was indeed a top-grade magic weapon, it really worked!
He swung again, cutting towards the long hair at the waist. The next moment, under the blade of Yuchang sword, the long black hair was instantly cut off and turned into black smoke and disappeared.
An ordinary butcher knife, after being used for killing many lives, will also contain evil spirits, which have the effect of frightening ghosts and gods. As a killing sword, the Yuchang Sword has passed through the hands of countless assassins for hundreds of years and is revered as a treasure. It has been stained with so much blood, and the evil spirit is so strong that it can hurt someone in red!
However, Li Daoxuan did not think that he could kill this terrible red-clothed ghost with the Yuchang sword. He did not even turn around to look at the ghost bride's face, but took the opportunity to escape!
But the moment the door of the ancestral hall was opened, blood rushed in like a tide and washed him back. The blood was like waves and soon turned the ancestral hall into a sea of blood. Li Daoxuan fell into the sea of blood and had difficulty breathing.
He knew that he was under an illusion, and that all of this was a false illusion created by the red-clothed ghost. But the problem was that even though he knew it, he could not ignore the real touch. He gripped the Yuchang sword tightly and slashed in all directions, but there was nothing.
Gradually, Li Daoxuan's brain began to feel dizzy, the light in front of his eyes became dimmer and dimmer, his face gradually turned purple, and the feeling of suffocation was too real.
He tried to swim up, but a hand grabbed his feet and pulled him down...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Daoxuan finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted completely. Even the Yuchang sword in his hand loosened.
Is this going to be death?
Li Daoxuan felt very unwilling. He still had too many things he wanted to do. He also wanted to cultivate to become an immortal and live forever. He had lived for more than 20 years and had never had a love relationship...
Damn it, if he had known he would die here, he would have turned around to see what the female ghost looked like. Maybe she would be prettier than Sister Sadako...
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at the moment he fainted, he seemed to hear the voice of Taoist Zhang Qianyang.
There was anger in that voice, as well as a hint of self-blame.
"Taiyi Tiangang, the sword sweeps in all directions, slaying demons and killing ghosts, ruling the capital Pingyang, hurry up and kill as ordered!"
