Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 217 There is another relic.
Boom~Boom~!

On the sea, accompanied by bursts of roar, the great battle between the righteous path and the blood demon has lasted for three days and three nights.

"He's dying!"

The four leaders—Zhang Jingqing of the Zhengyi Sect, Xuan Yi Zhenren of the Maoshan Sect, Ge Zhenren of the Gezaoshan Sect, and a wandering monk from Lingyin Temple—floated in mid-air, watching the Blood Demon, whose half-body was submerged in seawater and who was panting heavily, and a cold smile appeared on their faces.

Blood Demons are formed from evil thoughts in the world and are extremely powerful, but once they are reborn and become independent individuals, they have their limits.

The three leaders of the Zhengyi sect, along with a high-ranking Buddhist monk, formed the most elite lineup of the righteous path. After a fierce battle, the Blood Demon was eventually defeated.

However, as a manifestation of evil thoughts in the world, as long as evil thoughts exist in the world, the Blood Demon will remain immortal and indestructible.

So even if we defeat him, we can only seal him away, just like the centenarian Taoist did back then.

But the seal will eventually be broken, and the future will repeat the same mistakes, causing harm to future generations. In the end, it is not a complete solution.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingqing and the others have found a way to completely eliminate the Blood Demon!
"Take care of him!"

After three days and three nights, the Blood Demon was finally brought to the brink of exhaustion, and now was the perfect time to eliminate him.

Evil thoughts permeate the world. If we relax even slightly, the Blood Demon can feed on these evil thoughts to recover. Therefore, we must not give him any chance to catch his breath.

Zhang Jingqing shouted, and the four of them immediately scattered, surrounding the Blood Demon from four directions.

"Um?!"

Upon seeing the four people's actions, Blood Demon's expression changed drastically. He then flipped over and dived underwater, attempting to escape from the sea.

"Come up here!"

But it wasn't that easy. With a roar, Ge Zhenren caused the sea to overturn, throwing the Blood Demon out of the water.

"hateful!"

If it's impossible to go underwater, then go to the sky.

The Blood Demon cursed, and without thinking further, flew away from the sky again.

Buzz~!

But the next moment, Master Xuan Yi made a hand seal, and countless yellow talismans appeared, covering the sky like a cage, directly enveloping the Blood Demon.

Bang~!

The Blood Demon tried to charge forward, but it was as if it had hit a ceiling and was bounced back.

"Roar~! You bastard!"

Seeing that there was no way to ascend to heaven or enter the sea, the Blood Demon's face twisted into a ferocious grin, and his evil aura surged violently once more. He appeared ready to fight to the death, hoping to temporarily scare everyone away.

But such a bluffing trick could hardly frighten Zhang Jingqing and the others.

The four stood firm in their respective positions, without yielding an inch.

Boo hoo hoo~!

At the same time, a whooshing sound rang out, and countless golden ropes shot out, instantly binding the Blood Demon's limbs and neck.

"let me go!"

The Blood Demon was in a panic, struggling and roaring loudly.

Unfortunately, these golden ropes, once in Zhang Jingqing's hands, were like demon-binding ropes from the heavens; she couldn't break free even a fraction of the way.

"That's it!"

Having temporarily restrained the Blood Demon, Zhang Jingqing let out a loud shout.

Immediately afterwards, the four people flipped their hands and each took out a small stone of different size and shape, but all of them emitted a Buddha-light. These were the four relics.

"on!"

Having made all the necessary preparations, the four of them charged directly at the Blood Demon without the slightest hesitation, each holding a relic.

The relics are the key to eliminating the blood demon, and their loss is unacceptable.

If you don't want your ultimate skill to miss, the best way is to get right up close!

He arrived in front of the Blood Demon in an instant, without any hesitation or delay, giving the Blood Demon no chance to react, and directly slapped the relic in his hand onto it.

Bang Bang Bang ~!

The moment the relic struck the Blood Demon, it was as if explosives had been planted beforehand. With three loud bangs, the Blood Demon was blown up three times right in the face.

"Ok?"

Why are there only three sounds?

The four were momentarily stunned. They saw that the relic in the wandering monk's hand not only failed to harm the Blood Demon, but was instead corrupted by the Blood Demon's evil energy. Its Buddhist light dimmed instantly, turning it into an ordinary stone.

"what happened!"

"This relic is fake!"

Immediately after regaining their senses, the four of them had a drastic change in expression.

There are actually quite a few relics in the Spirit Realm, but only the four left behind by the centenarian Taoist can subdue the Blood Demon.

That is why Zhengyi spared no effort in searching everywhere.

I thought I had collected them all, but to my utter surprise, the wandering monk's one turned out to be fake!
"how so……"

The wandering monk was completely astonished. This was a relic passed down through generations in his Lingyin Temple, which was said to have been left behind by a centenarian Taoist priest and intended to be used to deal with the Blood Demon in the future. How could it be fake!
What went wrong?
"Roar! Die, all of you!"

In the midst of the shock, the Blood Demon roared, and stimulated by the relic, his power exploded, instantly breaking free of the golden ropes, and four streams of evil energy fiercely struck the four people.

Boom~!

With a deafening roar, the massive impact created a crater several miles in diameter that stretched to the seabed beneath their feet.

The four people who were attacked were also sent flying backwards.

"Pfft~!"

They landed heavily on the beach, and Master Xuanyi, Master Ge, and the wandering monk coughed up mouthfuls of blood, all of them seriously injured.

Zhang Jingqing was the only one who was not seriously injured. Firstly, he was a highly skilled Taoist master, and secondly, the three True Man Xuanyi had intentionally shared the damage with him.

"Evil thoughts! Evil thoughts! I want more evil thoughts!"

Flying in from the sea, the Blood Demon went into a frenzy, and unintentionally glanced at the distant land, his gaze instantly burning with intensity.

Immediately afterwards, instead of continuing to attack the seriously injured Master Xuanyi and his companions, they flew straight towards the land.

"not good!"

Upon seeing the Blood Demon's destination and realizing what he was about to do, Zhang Jingqing and the other three's expressions changed drastically.

"Stop him!"

Immediately afterward, disregarding his serious injuries, he hurriedly chased after them.

……

"Such a big commotion!"

Li Kunshan and Uncle Jiu swayed for a moment, glanced at the sea, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.

There were several loud bangs just now, even louder than before. Has it been taken care of?
After all, they had been fighting for three days and three nights, and it was about time to subdue the Blood Demon.

Roar~!

But before they could think any further, a series of roars came as hundreds and thousands of evil spirits on the outside were frantically attacking the talisman array.

Compared to the other groups, Li Kunshan's team is the most stable and has not yet lost ground.

But as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. After the talisman arrays in other areas were breached, the resident master went to provide assistance.

Having witnessed the divine power of the real person, these evil spirits were so frightened that they retreated one after another, and as a result, most of them gathered around Li Kunshan and Uncle Jiu.

At this moment, outside their talisman array, evil spirits were densely packed, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands.

There are simply too many evil spirits to kill. After all, although Li Kunshan's magic has a wide range, the evil spirits won't just stand there and let him kill them. The talisman array he established earlier has been mostly broken through, and now only the last layer remains.

"We'll fight to the death if necessary!"

Li Kunshan's expression was solemn. At the last moment, he could only summon the Blood God Child within him.

Even if this secret is exposed, we cannot allow these evil spirits to rush in and hinder the cult leader and the others from eliminating the Blood Demon.

Hurrah~!

Just as the last rune array was about to give way, a dark shadow suddenly flew overhead.

"Ok?"

Li Kunshan and Uncle Jiu were instantly stunned. There were countless evil spirits here, and black shadows flew around everywhere.

But that one just now seemed to have flown in from across the sea.

what happened?

The two looked at each other, both seeing a hint of fear on each other's faces.

"Haha~! Great! I'm inhaling!"

Just then, a wild laugh came from above, and a figure appeared suspended in the air, like a dark cloud obscuring half the moon.

Woo~!

As soon as he finished speaking, a force descended, not targeting Li Kunshan and Uncle Jiu, but rather the evil spirits.

The next moment, those evil spirits were actually absorbed by him and then merged into himself.

"This is……"

"have eaten."

Li Kunshan and Uncle Jiu stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with horror. This guy actually swallowed an evil spirit whole? What was his background?
In fact, the two of them already had some guesses when they saw him flying in from the sea.

Looking at this scene now, it's pretty much confirmed.

"Stop him!"

A loud shout came from behind; it was Zhang Jingqing who had rushed over.

The Blood Demon was born from the evil thoughts of heaven and earth. By devouring these evil spirits, he could not only quickly recover his strength and heal his injuries, but he might even experience a surge in power again.

Boom~!

As a time traveler, Li Kunshan already knew all this. In fact, he had already made his move before Zhang Jingqing could even speak.

With a deafening roar, hundreds of bolts of lightning struck down simultaneously, heading straight for the Blood Demon in mid-air.

"Ok?"

At this moment, the Blood Demon used his magic to subdue a large number of evil spirits. If he made a move, his magic would waver, and these evil spirits would run away.

"Hmph! Ha!"

With a cold snort, it raised its head and roared at the thunder, standing still without dodging or avoiding it.

Boom~!

The next moment, a massive pillar of lightning pierced through the heavens and earth, engulfing the Blood Demon.

"Haha~! You think you can kill me with this little bit of lightning? You're dreaming!"

The lightning then vanished, revealing the Blood Demon hovering in mid-air, its body only slightly charred and not seriously injured.

The fact that the Blood Demon withstood the heavenly lightning while taking a bath demonstrates his formidable strength.

"I suck..."

Next, they must continue to devour evil spirits.

But the next moment, the Blood Demon froze in mid-air.

The evil spirits that he had captured either turned to ashes or escaped.

"Humph."

Li Kunshan stood on the ground and gave a smug hum.

He knew that a few bolts of heavenly lightning alone would not be enough to kill the Blood Demon.

So his initial goal was not to eliminate the Blood Demon, but to cleanse the evil spirits that he had captured!

Once these evil spirits are eliminated, the Blood Demon will have nothing to eat and will not be able to immediately recover its strength, and that will be enough.

Those evil spirits were captured by the Blood Demon and became like live targets. Li Kunshan summoned heavenly lightning, which directly destroyed most of them. The remaining ones were also blasted into the range of the Blood Demon's power, thus allowing them to escape.

"hateful!"

Realizing what was happening, the Blood Demon instantly flew into a rage, roared, and forcefully swung his hand.

In an instant, countless surging evil energies crashed towards Li Kunshan like giant waves.

"careful!"

Uncle Nine's expression changed drastically, and he was about to cast a spell to help Li Kunshan carry the burden.

Pa~!

But to everyone's surprise, at that moment, Li Kunshan suddenly pushed him away.

Li Kunshan has to shoulder the burden himself!
Buzz~!

With a buzzing sound, hundreds of talismans appeared in an instant, their flashing light illuminating a large area.

Boo hoo hoo~!

Without the slightest hesitation, they directly and proactively met the oncoming evil energy, shooting towards it.

Boom~Boom~!

All the talismans that landed on the giant wave of evil energy produced a series of subtle explosions.

The explosion unleashed countless evil energies, which instantly blotted out the sky.

"Kunshan!"

The moment Uncle Nine landed, a surge of evil energy completely engulfed Li Kunshan, who roared with wide-open eyes.

Boom~!

Uncle Nine was about to step forward when the evil energy that struck the ground collapsed, sweeping in all directions like a raging storm.

Let alone going forward to save people, it would be good enough if Uncle Nine could just hold on.

Uncle Nine raised his hands to form a Tai Chi diagram, and just as he was about to collapse, a figure suddenly appeared.

Bang~!

The next moment, with a muffled thud, all the evil energy vanished instantly.

"...Master."

Uncle Nine paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Jingqing beside him and was shocked again.

However, he couldn't care less about anything else for the time being and rushed over to check on Li Kunshan.

"I am fine."

At that moment, Li Kunshan's voice came.

He was still standing there, his clothes were tattered and he looked disheveled, but he seemed to be alright.

"Phew! That's great!"

Uncle Jiu stopped and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ok?"

Zhang Jingqing was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but take another look at Li Kunshan.

It's important to know that, unlike Uncle Nine, Li Kunshan had just faced the Blood Demon's attack head-on.

In this situation, a mere newly promoted mage, even with profound cultivation comparable to a high-ranking master, would be lucky to survive; instead, he only suffered superficial injuries.

I couldn't help but chuckle. It seems he still doesn't know Li Kunshan well enough.

"call."

Li Kunshan straightened up again and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Even a weakened Blood Demon is not so easy to withstand.

In that instant, he used all his strength and numerous talismans to first disperse the evil energy condensed by the Blood Demon.

Even so, the sheer number of people involved is overwhelming.

Li Kunshan did his best to maintain his protective spell, but in the end he only managed to save his life by sheer luck.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been lying on the ground, unable to move.

But Li Kunshan is different; he has the golden attribute "Blood Rebirth," which means he can be fully recovered in an instant as long as he is not instantly killed.

That's why when Uncle Nine and Zhang Jingqing saw him, it was as if he had withstood a blow without getting hurt.

"You despicable little Taoist priest, I'll kill you!"

With a roar, and having failed in his first attack, the Blood Demon grew even more enraged and swooped down from the sky towards Li Kunshan.

With just a wave of his hand, he almost killed Li Kunshan. If they had actually fought face to face, he would have been dead for sure.

Li Kunshan frowned instantly, about to dodge.

However, there is no avoiding it.

The Blood Demon's magic was profound, and he had already locked onto the target. No matter if it was the Earth Escape Technique, the Shrinking Earth Talisman, or any other means, unless one's cultivation level was higher than the Blood Demon's, they would not be able to escape.

Since there's no way to avoid it, we can only face it head-on, but the key problem is that we can't even catch it.

"Oops!"

On the other side, not to mention Uncle Jiu, even Zhang Jingqing, who had just arrived, was too late to offer any help.

Buzz~!

At this critical moment, Li Kunshan suddenly had an idea.

The next moment, a bead flew out of its body, or more accurately, it was spat out of Number Three's mouth.

"This is."

Upon seeing the bead, Zhang Jingqing was momentarily stunned.

Relics!
Li Kunshan actually has a relic in his possession?

"Ok?"

Not only Zhang Jingqing, but even the Blood Demon looked surprised, and the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

He actually sensed a tremendous threat emanating from this relic.

Could it be that?
"Try it!"

Why did this relic exhibit unusual activity at this time?

But Li Kunshan didn't have time to think much. He grabbed the relic, his right hand instantly transformed into a dragon ball, his arm was covered in dragon scales, and he slammed it fiercely at the Blood Demon.
