Chapter 641: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 13

"Look what this is?" Seeing that she was no match for her opponent, the tree demon used the same old trick again and pulled out Nie Xiaoqian to block in front of her. Without waiting for Yan Chixia to ask why Nie Xiaoqian was still in her hand, Ruyi slapped her forward with a ruthless face, not caring about Nie Xiaoqian's life or death.

The tree demon grandmother panicked and tried to persuade him in a hurry: "Look carefully, this is your husband's most beloved woman. If she really died in your hands, your husband would definitely blame you!"

There was no wavering on Ruyi's face, and he was about to slap Nie Xiaoqian hard. The tree demon couldn't hold it anymore, fearing that after Nie Xiaoqian disappeared, Ruyi's ruthless palm would slap herself. She took advantage of the time when Nie Xiaoqian was trying to block her, and made up her mind to activate all the energy in her body and pull her roots out of the soil.

"It's now!"

Even if the plants could move, their speed would not be very fast. Ruyi had been waiting for this opportunity. He continued his attack with his left hand and slapped Nie Xiaoqian towards Yan Chixia. He pulled his right hand out from behind and cast a thunderbolt spell directly at the fleeing back of the tree demon.

"what--"

The tree demon grandma let out a terrible cry of pain, her whole body trembling non-stop, leaves and vines turning black and falling to the ground. Seeing that the tree demon grandma was paralyzed by Ruyi's lightning strike, Yan Chixia made a prompt decision to cut it open, forced blood from his fingertips and touched the sword, "The sky and the earth are boundless, Qiankun sword technique——"

"Ten thousand swords return to their clan—go!"

"what--"

Yan Chixia split the tree demon's body in half with one sword. With the last scream, black and red blood flowed from the tree demon's body and she remained motionless.

There was a foul smell in the air. Ruyi didn't see the ball of light and realized that the tree demon grandma was not dead. She approached the motionless locust tree carefully, but found something hidden between the split trunks.

"This is......?"

Ruyi didn't dare to touch it casually, but after taking a closer look, she found that it was a green wooden heart shaped like a human heart. This green wooden heart emitted a faint green light under the cover of black and red tree blood, and the flashing rhythm was consistent with the rhythm of a human heartbeat.

“It turns out that trees also have hearts!”

It was rare to see something like a tree heart. Ruyi sighed and then threw a fireball at it. He thought that even if the tree demon was very strong, she would not be able to survive if her heart was burned.

This was indeed the case. After Ruyi's final fireball spell, the entire locust tree quickly burned as if it had been doused in gasoline. It didn't take long before the locust tree, which was so big that it took many people to hug, was burned to ashes right in front of Yan Chixia and Ruyi.

"Let's go, let's go back." After absorbing the light ball that exploded from the tree demon, Ruyi waved his hand to retract the fire. "The tree demon has been dealt with, but there are other monsters coming next. We must leave as soon as possible."

"Well... what should we do?" Yan Chixia didn't object to leaving, but he glanced at the ghost girl Nie Xiaoqian lying on the side, "Don't kill her?"

"I can only exorcise demons, not perform salvation. I'll leave it to you, Taoist priest." Since the merit of destroying the tree demon grandma has been earned, and seeing that Yan Chixia is quite sympathetic to Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, Ruyi doesn't want to care about the rest of the plot.

After returning to Lanruo Temple, Ruyi carefully reviewed his performance in the process of eliminating the tree demon grandma, and found that his biggest problem now was that his means of attack were not powerful enough. Ordinary fireballs and lightning strikes were okay against ordinary female ghosts and small monsters, but they could only scratch the skin at most against thousand-year-old monsters and ten-thousand-year-old monsters.

If it weren't for Yan Chixia's sword today, with the damage he had inflicted on the tree demon, he would not have been able to defeat her so quickly. Besides, he had another problem, which was insufficient endurance. One lightning spell would consume one third of his spiritual power. Fireball spell was better, but it could only be fired twenty times in a row at most.

Although it is possible to use the power of merit when the spiritual power is used up, merit is the foundation of Ruyi's cultivation. If you use less and less of it, if there is no light ball to restore blood, it will be a non-renewable resource.

However, now is not the time to rest.

The hairs on Ruyi's body stood up inexplicably, and she felt as if something was staring at her. "Is it the evil spirit of the Black Mountain Demon? It's so scary. I can feel the oppression even before I get this far."

The ten thousand year old demon was no joke. Ruyi didn't dare to stay any longer before it got dark, so he stood up, opened the door and was about to leave.

"Miss Song, thank you for saving Xiaoqian." In the next room, a man, a ghost and a Taoist priest were resting. When they saw Ruyi going out, Ning Caichen immediately let go of Nie Xiaoqian and hurried forward to thank her.

"Don't thank me, just thank the Taoist priest."

"I advise you that more powerful monsters are coming, so you'd better leave here as soon as possible." After saying that, Ruyi flew away into the distance.

Ning Caichen, who stayed behind, returned to his room in confusion and told Yan Chixia what Ruyi had warned him: "Master, do you think what Miss Song said is true or false?"

"Hasn't the monster on Yinshan Mountain been dealt with by you?"

Yan Chixia is a human being and does not have the natural sensitivity of Ruyi, the nemesis of monsters. He felt it carefully, but felt nothing except the evil aura and yin energy from the tree monster that had not yet dissipated.

"We have indeed taken care of the old locust tree, but I don't know if there are any other monsters on this mountain."

"But Miss Song is not someone who would lie. What she said must be true. We can't stay here any longer. Let's go, let's go now!"

Yan Chixia naturally believed in Ruyi's judgment. Since Ruyi said that he couldn't deal with it and had to leave, he naturally wouldn't be stubborn and insist on staying here waiting for the monster to come up and fight him.

Ning Caichen saw this and quickly took Nie Xiaoqian's real urn into his arms, put the bookcase on his back, and followed Yan Chixia down the mountain. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, the sky suddenly became dark. Yan Chixia looked up at the black cloud covering the sky, his face solemn.

"This demonic aura is so strong. This demon is really powerful. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave now before we are discovered!"

Without caring about holding back, Yan Chixia made a prompt decision to activate the energy in his body, enlarge the sword, and fly with Ning Caichen on the sword. The Black Mountain Old Demon noticed some movement at the foot of the mountain, but glanced at it casually and didn't take it to heart.

They were just two little bugs, so they could just run away. The most important thing now was to see the old locust tree and find out where the great treasure mentioned in the letter was.

"Old locust tree, old locust tree, I am here, where is the great treasure you mentioned?"

The female ghost Xiaoqing served the Black Mountain Old Demon very well last night. She had already agreed to marry him and become his 38th concubine. She came along now just to get her own ashes back from the old locust tree.

Just when the Black Mountain Old Demon was still searching for the old locust tree in Yinshan Mountain, Xiaoqing was surprised to find that the restraints on her body were gone. She was about to tell the Black Mountain Old Demon, but suddenly realized what this meant.

"My Lord, grandma, she's dead!"
