Chapter 135: The True Meaning of the Tai Chi Against a Mighty Demon
Chapter 135: The True Meaning of the Tai Chi Against a Mighty Demon
"A demon that has perfected the Elixir cultivation, be careful, both of you."
Pure Yang Daoist mobilized his inner dan, pinching his sword finger to his heart. His ink-blue daoist robe billowed without any wind, and a vast amount of pure qi flowed out of his body but did not disperse.
Instead, it condensed in front of him, gradually forming a primitive daoist sword shadow that was two palms wide and as tall as a person.
On the sword body, the yin-yang fish pattern slowly rotated, exuding a sense of balance and harmony.
The True Meaning of the Tai Chi!
As the signature move of Baiyun Guan, its fame resounded throughout Qingzhou.
Although they did not wield physical swords, the sword intent of the Tai Chi was sharper than the swords of Qingfeng Mountain.
"This time, you've really gotten us into trouble," Cleansing Daoist sighed as he glanced at Pure Yang Daoist.
The Daoist Master had sent the two of them down the mountain to retrieve the martial arts manual, but before they could even meet Yan Xingkong, they had somehow offended a mighty demon.
"It's not like I dragged you into this." Pure Yang Daoist rolled his eyes.
"That's true." Cleansing Daoist smiled freely and then condensed a Tai Chi sword intent in front of him as well.
Since they were already here, there was no point in hesitating anymore.
There was no point in coming down the mountain if they didn't eliminate the demon.
"...”
Xiao Qiangwei looked around but still did not see Shen Yi's figure, nor were there any signs of a fight nearby.
Even though she trusted the young man immensely, her heart was starting to panic at this moment.
Demons were not much different from humans. Most of them were wild demons, but there were also clans and sects with profound backgrounds, just like in the human world.
For example, the mountain-protecting formation they had encountered earlier seemed to be of little use, aside from concealing the aura and a bit of illusory art to deceive people's eyes. Anyone could break through it easily.
But precisely because of this, the opponent seemed even more powerful. After all, not everyone was willing to waste resources on such flashy tricks.
Shen Yi had indeed shown her the strength of his tempered body, but he had also not hidden his shallow experience in cultivation.
He didn't even know what the True Meaning of the Tai Chi was, let alone the cunning and unpredictable means of demons.
It was understandable if he had accidentally fallen into the demon's scheme.
"Miss Xiao, let's take care of the demon in front of us first and then think about the rest."
Cleansing Daoist gently reminded the woman, a slight doubt in his heart.
If he guessed correctly, this woman was an experienced Yinling Demon Catcher, and her mental state in battle should be much stronger than his and Pure Yang Daoist, who were two old daoists living in seclusion in the mountains. Yet, she seemed extremely nervous.
"I know." Xiao Qiangwei took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly as she looked towards the deep valley in front of her. A killing intent emerged in her narrow, long eyes.
The two daoists were among the older generation of powerful experts in Qingzhou, and neither of them was weaker than Jiang Chengyun.
With their help, even if they couldn't defeat a demon at the perfect dan cultivation stage, they wouldn't lose to the opponent by much.
The next moment, the three of them rushed towards the Emerald Spring!
Almost at the same time, a sharp, long cry rang out from the deep valley, and then a cyan-blue feathered wing that blocked the sky and the sun abruptly appeared in their line of sight!
A huge shadow covered the three of them.
The wings were like sharp blades piercing the heavens, slashing at them violently!
Seeing such a startling momentum, the two daoists narrowed their eyes. Their cloth shoes lightly tapped the ground, and they reacted swiftly, leaping into the air. Their sword fingers then stabbed out directly.
As if receiving a command, the two thick daoist sword shadows suddenly burst forth, shooting out at a speed that made the surrounding environment seem distorted!
The giant wings swept through the air, slicing into the steep stone cliffs like tofu.
Rumble!
A terrifying gash appeared on the dozens of zhang high cliff, and the entire upper half suddenly collapsed, causing the whole deep valley to tremble!
It was also at this moment that the two daoist sword shadows stabbed into the cyan-blue wings, causing feathers to fly everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing sharply resounded.
Pure Yang Daoist's right sword finger was vertical to his heart, and his left palm tightly gripped his right wrist. His loose sleeves danced wildly, and his arms trembled slightly, "What a tough demon body!"
"Let's cut it down for Daoist Father!" Cleansing Daoist also lost his previous amicable demeanor, and a malicious intent appeared on his face, which had the appearance of a child.
A sharp bird cry pierced the air once more as a figure in a long robe appeared beside the wooden house. Xiao Qiangwei's eyes turned cold as she attacked the white-robed elder on the ground, her enormous wings sprouting from his right arm.
She unleashed a fierce palm strike, sending a surge of vigorous qi towards him!
Boom!
The old woman stood in front of her brother, blocking the strike. Her hunched figure staggered back under the force of the blow.
Steadying herself, she glared at Xiao Qiangwei, her face grim. "To be able to invite so many helpers, that thief has good connections. I wonder, what price did he offer to have you all come here to die?"
"You're quite a charming young lady." Kong Jing's smile widened as he used his luxurious feathered robe to wipe away the dried blood stains on his arm, then stepped forward to block the woman's path.
"..."
Xiao Qiangwei adjusted her breathing, the wounds on her wrists, which had been wrapped, threatening to rupture once more. Yet, her palms still crackled with vigorous qi.
Any force in Tingyang County would likely explain the situation and clear up the misunderstanding if they heard those words.
Only the Demon Suppression Division and Baiyun Guan had no habit of explaining themselves to demons.
She took in the three figures before her and instantly made a judgment.
One had achieved Great Perfection in the Golden Core Realm, one had reached the Core Formation Realm, and the younger one was likely in the Initial Qi Condensation Realm.
These three demons would typically require a Demon Suppression Commander to personally intervene to minimize casualties if they appeared in Qingzhou.
With this in mind, Xiao Qiangwei dared not give them another chance to catch their breath. She struck out with her palm once more!
However, something she hadn't expected happened. As if enraged by the two sword shadows that had struck earlier, a dazzling azure light suddenly shone from one of the feathers among the elder's wings!
It was a hidden azure feather.
As it lit up, an invisible ripple seemed to spread through the air. When the ripple reached the sword shadows, they shattered without a sound, turning back into qi that dissipated into the sky.
The old woman extended her right arm, and a vermillion feather appeared.
With the gentle glow of crimson light, the horrifying wound on the elder's wing, caused by the sword shadows, miraculously healed in an instant.
Compared to Xiao Qiangwei's surprise...
...the two Daoists' reaction was even more apparent. They watched, wide-eyed, as the Tai Chi sword intent shattered, their breath quickening.
And when they saw the wound they had inflicted so arduously heal, their sword fingers trembled, and they could barely maintain their grip. "As expected... it's a demon with a legacy..."
"Hahaha!" Kong Jing seemed to relish this feeling. He abruptly extended his arms, and a feather shone on each of his arms—one azure, one crimson—their radiance flickering.
"Jing'er! Get out of the way!" Before Kong Jing could finish laughing, the elder suddenly shouted.
As his words rang out, a breath-takingly sharp aura locked onto their location, capturing everyone's attention.
On the other side of the valley, at the edge of the cliff...
...a disheveled man straightened his posture. His face was worn, and in his hands, he held a dazzling divine bow, the string pulled taut with his other hand.
The delicate bowstring seemed to carry the weight of a mountain.
Yan Xingkong stared fixedly at Kong Jing. His body trembled with surging qi, his arms bulging with bulging veins, and his skin splitting open. In an instant, his clothes were soaked with blood.
The bow was drawn to a forty-five-degree angle.
He had intended to push the bow with his leg, but his right leg had lost all sensation.
Instead, he grabbed the bowstring with his hand, his face twisting in agony as he forced the string back a little further.
His hair danced wildly as the bow formed a brilliant crescent!
A dazzling white light converged on the longbow, and though his gaze was fixed on Kong Jing, the arrow was aimed unwaveringly at the elder!
