From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 256 Black and White
The snow has not yet melted and the wind is getting stronger.

Dugu Ying was a hidden dragon in the abyss. With one strike, she was the only one left in the quiet garden dressed in red.

"So you are a master of the Dugu family." Elder Zhu recognized Dugu Ying's background at once, so he put his hands together and bowed reverently.

Lian Nu was covered in wounds and the blood could not be stopped. Her beautiful face was gone, leaving only a hideous look.

"The monk's candlelight is indeed extraordinary." Dugu Ying raised the sword, which was glowing with a faint light. "It seems that the candlelight can burn oneself, but it can also save others."

"Amitabha." Elder Zhu was not angry either, he just said calmly: "Although the candle flame is small, it is not comparable to the fluorescence."

The old monk also got angry.

Dugu Ying hid under the hat and cloak, so her pretty face could not be seen, but her slight and disdainful laugh could be heard by everyone.

"Why did the Imperial Master get involved in this mess?" There was a faint green and red light in Lian Nu's eyes, and her resentment was hard to conceal.

Dugu Ying ignored the defeated opponent even though she had succeeded in her sneak attack.

“Don’t worry.” Elder Zhu held Lian Nu’s shoulder with one hand and said, “This Taoist friend Dugu asked me to do it. You deal with the little donor first.”

"Haha!" Lian Nu sneered, looked at Dugu Ying, and said: "I will sweep away the flies first, and then destroy your face, and tear your flesh apart bit by bit..."

Before she could finish her words, Dugu Ying attacked again. She lightly waved the sword in her hand, and then she turned into fluorescent light and scattered in all directions.

Seeing that the reinforcements were ruthless and didn't talk much, Meng Yuan took advantage of the fact that the gods had not yet descended to earth and set the heavenly fire on the land again.

Elder Zhu raised his hand and a tiny flame appeared. When he saw Meng Yuan coming with fire, he immediately swallowed up the flame on Meng Yuan's sword.

"The fire of karma is blazing, burning away all the suffering in the world. Young people are too murderous, and their innocence has been lost. They have all five poisons, so it is difficult for them to reach the top."

Elder Zhu's eyes seemed to reflect a flame. He stared at Meng Yuan and said, "You have a beautiful wife and concubine now, and you can't feel the emptiness of the world, but you will feel it in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Nu screamed in pain again, her flesh and blood burst apart, revealing bones everywhere.

At this moment, Master Zhu suddenly pointed his finger, causing a tiny ray of fire to fall into the void in front of him, without burning even a single snowflake.

Dugu Ying showed up, took off her hat, revealing a small and pretty face, and looked at Elder Zhu with a frown.

Lian Nu was covered in wounds. Seeing Meng Yuan coming with the Heavenly Fire again, she held up a lotus in her hand and immediately stopped Meng Yuan's attack.

"Everything that exists is false." Lotus pods and lotus seeds grew from the lotus in Lian Nu's hand, and flesh and blood grew on her body. Her injuries were healed immediately, but her face turned pale, making her look older.

Meng Yuan retreated to Dugu Ying's side, breathing heavily.

This is the third time Meng Yuan has activated Bodhi Destruction since he came down from Datou Mountain and met Xie Yishen and others.

Although he had the help of spirit and fire, and was like a bright mirror free from dust, when the Bodhi-Nirvana Path was activated, the burden he endured was no less than that of the Floating Light Cave Heaven.

Moreover, Meng Yuan discovered that when Bodhi Extermination Dao was activated, it not only consumed Jade Liquid, but also one's own spirit, willpower, and even compassion. Therefore, after repeated activations in a short period of time, the body was repeatedly tempered by the fire of essence, and it could still hold on, but the mental willpower was much worse, and it was really in a state of decline and exhaustion.

Meng Yuan tried hard to stay awake, secretly estimating that Bodhi Extermination Dao could only be activated three more times at most, and then it would be like a floating light cave, requiring a night's rest, or even longer.

Besides, Meng Yuan has not rested at all since entering the city. Even though he was using both dantians at the same time, he dared not stop his Burning Heart Divine Ability and forced the gods to descend to the earth. At this moment, the jade liquid was consumed extremely.

Although reinforcements have arrived now, Elder Zhu has obviously succeeded just now, and would rather let Lian Nu use her life-saving skills than plant a wisp of karma in Dugu Ying's heart.

"Amitabha." The paleness on Elder Zhu's face flashed away, and was replaced by a rosy glow. He smiled and said, "Donor, the winner is determined."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Zhu showed a look of doubt on his face. He hurriedly reached into his sleeve, but only pulled out a handful of dust. "Amitabha." Elder Zhu was not open-minded at all. He lost his composure and angrily looked at Dugu Ying, scolding, "How dare you destroy the things of the World Honored One!"

As he spoke, Elder Zhu's black robe fluttered and flames burned all over his body. Its power was far less than the heavenly fire that Meng Yuan had urged to spread across the prairie, but there seemed to be something mysterious in that fire.

"I thought your fire was the fire of preaching passed down from generation to generation, but I never thought it was the fire of your own karma." Dugu Ying had a smile on his little face without the hat covering his face, "Let me try your skills again."

"I originally wanted to invite you to go to the West to listen to the Buddha's voice, but I never thought that the filthy people would repeatedly block us!" Elder Zhu's face trembled with anger, "I am going to start a killing spree!"

"Hold him." Ying Rushi stood up and looked at Meng Yuan again, saying, "Hold Lian Nu."

Meng Yuan, the god from heaven, had not yet disappeared, so he nodded quickly.

Dugu Ying ignored him and just looked at Elder Zhu.

Ying Rushi walked out of the pavilion, raised his hand, and summoned a bamboo slip. Then his sleeves fluttered, and his body slowly rose from the ground, "I'm here to find Qing Guangzi."

Seeing Ying Rushi's calm tone, Meng Yuan and Dugu Ying knew that the outcome was already decided.

But Ying Rushi had just finished speaking when she, while still in the air, actually looked up at the sky again.

Dugu Ying also looked up, and Elder Zhu and Lian Nu also looked up.

It was just past morning, the wind had not died down, and the snow had not stopped.

Soon, Meng Yuan felt that the god's descent to the earth had disappeared without a trace, and a fierce chill arose in his heart. This chill was not the cold of ice and snow in the severe winter, but the fear of ordinary people facing the endless darkness.

For a moment, Meng Yuan felt that he had even forgotten to tremble all over. The place where he lived seemed to have been swallowed up by the sky and the earth had disappeared.

As I looked around, the pavilion suddenly became dark, as if this place had been moved into a bottomless abyss.

The sky and the earth were all white, except for Jingyuan, which was dim.

I don’t know how long the gloomy color lasted, and then a strong wind blew, as if the sky came back and the earth rose again.

The wind and snow are still blowing, and the cold winter is pressing on people, but everyone feels like they have survived a disaster.

I saw Ying Rushi, who was flying in the air like a fairy just now, seemed to have lost her support. She was floating in the air and falling from the sky like a thin snowflake.

The fear in Meng Yuan's heart had not yet completely disappeared. He took a step forward, staggered, and almost fell.

Gritting his teeth and urging his burning heart, Meng Yuan stepped up and caught Ying Rushi who was falling.

Ying Rushi had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and her body was icy cold.

Meng Yuan held Ying Rushi and fell to the ground. When the jade liquid entered Ying Rushi's body, he felt obstacles again and again. The jade liquid, which was like a sharp blade and axe in the past, had difficulty moving inside Ying Rushi's body.

"Not dead." Dugu Ying covered his chest with his hands. His red cloak was gone, leaving only a thin green dress.

There was no wound on her chest, but there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

"As long as Dugu Sheng doesn't want to die, he won't dare to kill her." Dugu Ying gasped and looked up at the sky. "I can't understand why Dugu Sheng would help a stinky rat?"

Only then did Meng Yuan look around. Elder Zhu and Lian Nu were nowhere to be seen, and Jing Garden was in a mess.
