Chapter 254: Divine Power Nightmare Prayer, the Forest of Sophora Monsters
As the charming ghost was refined, the "Book of Demon-Subduing" in Li Daoxuan's mind shone again, and a line of small words appeared.
"In May of the second year of Zhenguan, I killed the charming ghost in the underworld and received a reward - the magical power [Nightmare Prayer]!"
"Nightmare Prayer is one of the 72 magical powers of the Earthly Fiends. It is a superior magic technique of Taoism. The one who is under the spell feels as if he has entered a nightmare, with a myriad of illusions and strange phenomena appearing spontaneously!"
It turned out to be another one of the 72 Disha magical powers!
This is not a simple illusion performed by sorcerers in the martial arts world, but a Taoist magic of illusion. Once it is performed, it can control people's minds invisibly. Even a fox demon who is good at illusion can be killed by Li Daoxuan.
The eight-tailed fox demon that they encountered in Xinyang County before possessed similar magical powers of illusion, and basically played Li Daoxuan in the palm of his hand. If he had not summoned the old Taoist's Yang Shen in the end, he would probably have died there.
Li Daoxuan was very satisfied with this magical power, which just made up for his shortcomings in illusion.
During this trip to the Yellow Springs, he obtained the great magical power [Rebirth by Dropping Blood], as well as two of the 72 Earthly Magical Powers [Borrowing Wind] and [Nightmare Prayer]. Together with the Soul-Falling Formation he had used to kill Taoist Zhou before, it can be said that it was an unprecedented great harvest!
As expected of being the dojo of the Empty-Dulled Ghost King, the ghosts and monsters here are very powerful. Li Daoxuan even felt a little reluctant to leave. If he missed this place, it might not be so easy to find these high-quality ghosts and monsters in the future.
Li Daoxuan still did not start practicing immediately, but rushed to the next place without stopping to look for his junior sister.
Liu Ningyan was concerned about the safety of his beloved disciple, so she went with him. But when they arrived, they did not see Liu Bihen, only sword marks all over the ground. One could imagine how fierce the battle was.
Li Daoxuan's heart tightened.
Did something happen to my junior sister?
Liu Ningyan was also a little nervous, so the two of them went to look for Liu Bihen separately, one in the east and one in the west.
Li Daoxuan opened his third eye and looked along the mountains and rivers, but did not see Liu Bihen. Instead, he saw several pieces of her clothes stained with blood. It was obvious that his junior sister was injured.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that although his junior sister had always appeared to be very strong and calm, in fact, she was only a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. In later generations, she would only be the age to go to college.
"Junior sister!"
He shouted loudly, frowned, and prayed silently, hoping that nothing would happen to his junior sister.
At the same time, he also felt a little guilty. He should not have left his junior sister alone to deal with the enemy. The guy called Sword Ghost was obviously not a good person and he also possessed supernatural powers of swordsmanship. His junior sister was so young, and even though she was very talented, she still lacked experience and foundation.
After an unknown amount of time, he still hadn't found his junior sister.
Li Daoxuan's heart sank little by little. Could it be that his junior sister really met with an accident?
At this moment, the White Dragon Sword hidden in the Dragon Roar Sword Box suddenly trembled, as if it was very excited.
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy surged in his heart.
The White Dragon and the Glass Dragon are a pair of affectionate swords. Could it be that the Glass Dragon was nearby and that is why the White Dragon Sword was activated?
Li Daoxuan quickly opened the sword box and released the White Dragon Sword.
clang!
The White Dragon Sword burst into flawless sword light, and then flew towards a certain direction.
Li Daoxuan stepped on the auspicious cloud and followed it closely. After about a moment, he finally arrived at a locust tree forest. There were dense trees here, but the center seemed to have been swept by a storm of sword energy, and there were broken wood everywhere.
Li Daoxuan was cheered up. It seemed that this was the place where his junior sister fought for the last time!
He continued to fly following the White Dragon Sword, and finally came to a towering tree. The White Dragon Sword stopped and kept flying around the tree.
Rustle!
The trees kept rustling and the branches were shaking, as if warning the White Dragon Sword.
A gleam of light flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes. This big tree was definitely not ordinary. It was almost a spirit. It was dozens of feet tall and had a thick trunk. Even if five or six big men joined together, they might not be able to hug it.
Among the many trees in the forest, it is almost unique and stands out from the crowd.
Li Daoxuan snorted coldly, opened the third eye between his eyebrows, and looked towards the big locust tree.
The next moment, his pupils condensed and he found it. His junior sister was in the tree!
I saw that my junior sister Liu Bihen was imprisoned in the heart of the tree. Countless vines bound her tightly and were sucking the magic power and blood from her body.
The junior sister’s eyes were closed and her face was pale, but even in a coma, her right hand was still tightly grasping the Lilong Sword.
Li Daoxuan did not hesitate at all. He swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, roared like a dragon, and cut a big hole in the body of the tree monster.
This big locust tree was as hard as black iron. Li Daoxuan originally wanted to split it in half, but with the sharpness of the three-pointed, double-edged sword, he could only cut a big hole.
puff!
Green liquid gushed out from the cut place, just like human blood.
The leaves of the old locust tree trembled wildly, making a rustling sound, and a voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female suddenly sounded.
"Taoist, I, your grandmother, never went to the Yinshan Mountain to stop you. Why did you provoke me?"
Vines emerged from the ground like winding snakes, surrounding Li Daoxuan on all sides.
A dazzling golden light shot out from Li Daoxuan's heavenly eye, burning the vines in front of him into pieces. Then he pinched the thunder seal with his hand, and a hint of lightning flashed in his eyes.
"Tree demon, the person inside you is my junior sister!"
"Hand her over, and I can spare your life!"
Boom!
The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled. The lightning on Li Daoxuan's body became brighter and brighter, making the vines that were ready to move become afraid and retreat subconsciously.
Li Daoxuan did not take action immediately as he had some concerns.
This tree demon was quite skilled in Taoism and had the cultivation of a Yin God. Most importantly, his junior sister was in his hands. Li Daoxuan was not sure he could save her life while killing her.
The dryad seemed hesitant.
She obviously didn't want to provoke Li Daoxuan. Although she did not go to Yinshan to participate in the battle, she had been watching the battle using flowers, plants, insects and fish as her eyes and ears.
The current situation is that Li Daoxuan and his team have the advantage.
"Taoist, I had no intention of provoking you, but this woman killed countless of my descendants when she was fighting the Sword Ghost, and innocent people were affected. If I don't take revenge, how can I face them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the locust trees in the woods began to shake, making sounds that sounded like complaining and crying.
In their view, they were very innocent and had no intention of taking part in the battle, but were still tragically affected, with countless brothers and sisters killed and injured.
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and he said, "If that's the case, let's each take a step back."
He did not withdraw his thunder magic, but held it in place to intimidate the monsters.
"Tree demon, if you let my sister go, I will take her away and will never settle the score with you later."
The tree demon said angrily, "Did my descendants die in vain?"
"Death in vain?"
Li Daoxuan snorted coldly and said, "Don't think I can't see it. Your descendants are not good monsters who don't fight with the world. You know exactly what is buried under their feet."
It is extremely difficult for trees to become monsters, but the locust trees here are showing signs of becoming monsters. This is very wrong.
Li Daoxuan could see clearly with his divine eyes that buried under this forest of locust trees were piles of bones and the flesh and blood of human beings!
Come to think of it, how could Huai Yaolin, who has established his own faction in the Underworld, be at peace with the world?
The Huai Yao's voice was indistinguishable between male and female, sometimes male and sometimes female, and full of anger.
"Don't you humans also cut down the flesh and blood of our people and use it to burn and chop wood? If that's the case, what's wrong with us using the flesh and blood of humans to cultivate?"
"Since no one is wrong, let's see who has the bigger fist."
Li Daoxuan didn't want to waste time talking to her anymore. If he continued to delay, his junior sister would be in real danger.
Boom!
Bolts of lightning struck down and landed in this forest of monsters!
The power of the Forty-Nine Days Thunder was not something these little tree monsters could withstand. Amid the roar of thunder and fire, many locust monsters were struck into ashes, and the burning fire illuminated the surroundings.
Li Daoxuan stood in the flames. His bright silver dragon armor was impervious to water and fire, so he didn't feel the slightest burning sensation.
His gaze was extremely oppressive, staring at the tree demon like a sharp sword.
"Don't refuse my toast and drink the wine of punishment. This time I will only kill these little monsters. If you don't let my sister go, I will kill you today!"
The tree demon was extremely angry, but more of it was fear.
As a bystander, she knew better than anyone how terrifying this young Taoist priest was. Chihu, Chen Wangshen, and Jingmei Ghost all died at his hands. The entire underworld was turned upside down by him. Even the Xudu Ghost King was now unknown whether he was dead or alive.
There was thunder above its head and raging fire all around it. Under such terrible intimidation, the tree demon finally gave in.
Descendants are important, but one’s own life and cultivation are more important.
If you lose your descendants, you can create new ones, but if you lose yourself, you will lose everything!
puff!
The tree demon spat out Liu Bihen, but she was also cautious and deliberately spat Liu Bihen far away to lead Li Daoxuan out of the locust tree forest.
Li Daoxuan immediately flew over and hugged his junior sister to check on her condition.
I saw that my junior sister's body was covered in blood, her originally white and tender skin was flipped up, and there were deep sword marks everywhere that could be seen to the bone.
Li Daoxuan repeatedly cast longevity talismans and fed her the healing pills made by his uncle. In just a short while, her injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scars had begun to scab over.
Li Daoxuan used his wood element magical power to gather the essence of plants and trees and injected it into her body.
After a few breaths, the blood scab fell off, revealing skin as white and tender as frost and snow.
Liu Bihen's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
She still looked a little confused, but when she saw that it was Li Daoxuan, she subconsciously smiled brightly.
"Brother, I won!"
Her face was still pale, but her eyes were exceptionally bright, as if they were pregnant with sword light, and she was in high spirits.
She won. Although it was difficult, she still killed the sword ghost with her own hands, making its soul fly to pieces!
However, she didn't expect that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. After she killed the sword ghost at the risk of being seriously injured, a tree demon appeared and swallowed her in one bite.
"You, why are you always seriously injured every time I see you?"
Li Daoxuan looked at the proud little girl in his arms, shook his head and smiled.
Liu Bihen smiled. He thought he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect that his senior brother saved him again.
She owed her senior brother another great favor.
