Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 376 A Kind Passerby
"You're nothing but a wandering knight-errant, a piece of trash like a pig or a dog, how dare you shout at me!"

The woman from the Xiao family looked grim.

“My daughter, a noblewoman of the Xiao family, has a bright future ahead of her. How could she have such an ungrateful adoptive father as you?”

"Now, I don't know where he learned some unorthodox methods, but he attacked a master of Qingsheng Temple. He deserves to die, and I will make him pay with his life now!!"

The woman swayed her upper body, seemingly about to strike, but in reality, her right foot suddenly slid off the ground.

collapse! !

A thin, spiderweb-like black crack suddenly appeared on the ground.

A chilling sword aura swept along the ground, aiming to slice off half of the blond man's foot.

This is the "Hidden Spider Treading Waves Sword Technique" of the Xiao family of the East Sea.

Using the feet as swords, forging a new path, footwork is swordsmanship, implicitly containing the inverted generation and restraint of the eight trigrams and eight gates in movement changes.

When the blond man stomped away the sword energy, he felt the figure of the Xiao family woman suddenly disappear from the right, and then his left arm was empty.

It turned out that the woman from the Xiao family had already reached behind him to the left, grabbed the little girl's ankle, and pulled her away.

The blond man had been holding the little girl tightly and hadn't dared to use force, so when he pulled away, he had no time to defend himself.

The unconscious little girl was lifted upside down, and her fair face gradually turned red.

"give me back!!"

The blond man was furious. As he turned around, his long arm reached out with claws, and the tips of his five fingers were all covered with a pale white sword light, which made people's hearts chill.

The woman from the Xiao family wore a cold smile. Her feet moved swiftly, her body shifting left and right as she dodged several attacks before suddenly circling around.

Before the boy in white on the roof could make a move, the woman had already circled around most of the way and reached Farn's side.

"The Xiao family's Hidden Spider Sword is indeed unique."

The white-clad youth's expression turned serious.

Although the blond man had some unknown opportunity, his skills were powerful and domineering, and his sword energy was sharp and ruthless.

Unfortunately, his skill had increased rapidly in a short time, and he didn't know many sophisticated moves. Faced with a strong attack like that of Fain, he could only manage to fight back for a few rounds.

Faced with a young master from a prestigious family like the Xiao family woman, who was skilled in stealth footwork, the blond man was ultimately outmatched.

The wandering swordsman's knowledge is too shallow.

"Turns out it was just a stupid cow."

Farn snorted coldly.

Because this monk practiced demonic arts, upon first contact, they sensed the strong demonic aura emanating from the blond man. Not knowing its origin, they were wary.

Unexpectedly, someone who cultivates demonic arts is not good at clever tricks.

It seems that the earlier sneak attack to assassinate that royal monk, used to divert everyone's attention, was already the pinnacle of this person's swordsmanship.

The blond man, both anxious and furious, lunged at them again.

Farn, however, did not use any sophisticated techniques to fight him. Instead, he suddenly raised his left palm and pushed it towards the blond man.

The blond man was still a foot away when his hands felt as if they had struck an impenetrable wall.

There was a loud bang.

The invisible air between the two of them, at some point, was solidified like crystal by Faen's power.

The crystal was then struck again by the blond man, causing it to crack.

The pale sword energy forked from his hands, extending along the cracks and penetrating deep into the crystal, like a wildly growing sapling, but growing slower and slower, unable to pass through this wall of energy.

Farn's skill at this moment was far superior to what he had shown before.

The white-clad youth, with his sharp eyes, had already noticed that the relic on Faen's left-hand prayer beads was being pressed into the "Neiguan" acupoint on the inside of his wrist.

Half of it is embedded in the skin, and half of it is exposed.

In traditional Chinese medicine, this acupoint can be used to relieve chest pain and tightness, and it can also be used to treat mental symptoms such as insomnia and epilepsy.

It is evident that the Neiguan acupoint is closely connected with the heart and soul.

When the relic is embedded in this acupoint, the essence and true energy stored within are immediately activated, transforming into a yellow-black light that travels along the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin.

It flows through acupoints such as Jianshi, Ximen, Quze, and Tianquan, and then into Tianchi.

At this moment, all the acupoints on Faen's body were glowing, shining through his clothes and appearing and disappearing.

The young man in white was startled for a moment, and his fan twitched.

Three tiny, transparent needles, as thin as cow's hair, flew out, carrying deadly poison, and shot towards Farn.

Unexpectedly, the three needles suddenly froze in mid-air.

As if crushed by an invisible force, starting from the tip of a needle, bit by bit, it crumbled into frost.

"It wasn't Farn who blocked the needle!"

The boy in white sensed something was wrong and turned to look behind him.

On the main street, many horses lay dead or sprawled on the ground; even those that were alive were like clay sculptures, motionless.

The monks had somehow formed a peculiar formation.

If you connect them as nodes, the final result resembles the outline of a datura flower.

And Faen is located on the stem of the datura flower.

The dozen or so people who had just made their move were now surrounded by this formation, their faces covered in cold sweat, their hands and feet frozen, completely motionless.

These dozen or so people knew that the group coming to deal with them was a group of Sumeru Heavenly Soldiers from Qingsheng Temple. They each had their own connections and had studied the formation diagram of the "Great Sumeru Heavenly Soldiers Formation".

After all, this formation is from several decades ago, and it has been used several times to deal with large armies on the plains. Countless people have witnessed the formation.

That's why it took them, a dozen or so, to seize a position and prevent the monks from forming a battle formation.

But just before that, when the Xiao family woman made her move.

Besides Fa'en, there were eight other monks who also embedded relics in their inner gates, causing their power to surge and forcing back their enemies.

In an instant, the monks had completed their formation and closed off.

The white-robed youth's poisoned needles were also destroyed by the aura of the formation.

"The Great Sumeru Heavenly Army Formation is an old artifact from decades ago."

"How could our prestigious Qingsheng Temple not have new ways to fill the gap?"

Farn smiled, looking down at the white-clad figure on the roof of the car with a disdainful gaze, as if he were looking at a few broken-backed dogs.

"The 'Relic Offering to the Heavenly Pool' allows us, in our unenlightened state, to borrow a vast amount of lunar turbidity's immense power. Do you really think you can stop the nine from taking their positions and lead the entire group into formation?!"

"Crap!"

The white-clad youth's face was so pale it was almost as white as his clothes.

"I never imagined that I, He Ruyu, who has lived a dissolute life, would not be killed by a beautiful woman, but would instead die at the hands of a monk..."

The woman from the Xiao family stood beside Faen, deeply shocked.

Her Hidden Spider Sword, with its elusive, stealthy movements, flashes and stabs, is a testament to her agility. She is confident that, even against dozens of opponents of similar skill, she can move freely and easily.

But now, just standing at the edge of the formation, she felt her inner warning signs fail her, leaving her feeling lost and adrift.

It felt as if any patch of air around me could turn into an iron wall, and any patch of ground could be an illusion, devoid of any force.

Despite her superb agility, she was momentarily unsure where to place her foot for the first step. "Holding a young girl upside down is indecent, give her to me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao handed it over.

A young man in plain clothes with thick eyebrows and a faint smile took the little girl and stood her up.

The red skirt draped down, covering the trouser legs.

The little girl, who had taken a large amount of sleeping pills and had her acupoints sealed, actually woke up after he caught and released her like that.

"I……"

The fourteen-year-old girl was already up to the shoulder of the young man in plain clothes. Her eyes were dazed as she looked around, her gaze finally landing on the blond man.

"father?"

The sound startled Fain, who turned around abruptly.

The woman from the Xiao family seemed to wake from a dream, and looked to her side in shock.

"Who are you?!"

"A kind person."

Chu Tianshu grabbed the woman's belt and threw it forward as if he were lifting a thick spear.

When he grabbed the woman, her entire body was already shrouded in a black aura, and she was thrown out of the air.

It's like a black scar that cut through the atmosphere!

The carriage beneath the white-clad youth shattered with a crash. He exerted all his strength, striking the wood chips three times with his feet, and rose two feet into the air.

In that instant, he felt he was unleashing a potential he had never had in his entire life.

The black mark that swept past his feet was so terrifying that he had a premonition that anyone who was touched by it would suffer a terrible fate.

When he rose two feet, he subconsciously looked back, wanting to see where the dark mark had fallen.

They were actually stopped by a tall monk!
The burly monk, with a face full of scars, had eyebrows that trembled like two silkworms. His face was as red as lacquer, and his two large hands were blocking the black aura from a distance. The stone bricks under his feet were shattering inch by inch.

No, it wasn't the monk who actively tried to stop them.

This black mark struck a lagging node in the inner circle of the formation.

For an formation to be considered a formation, it must have both loose and tight sections, varying speeds and rhythms, and operate in a natural order.

Often, when the outer layer is prepared to operate quickly, the inner layer must operate slowly, or even slightly reverse, in order to maintain the overall energy of the formation and make up for any weaknesses.

However, these slow-moving areas are often where the aura of the grand formation is strongest.

The black streak shot directly towards this spot, and the burly monk was immediately enveloped by the aura of the great formation, forcefully blocking and counterattacking.

At that moment, Chu Tianshu took a step to the side and arrived next to Faen.

As Faen attacked with both hands, he suddenly felt a sharp pain. His left arm was pierced by the enemy's thumb, striking his Neiguan relic, while his right arm was struck by the middle finger at the elbow.

Chu Tianshu merely extended his right hand, and with three quick movements, it was as if his forearm had merely swayed.

After the thumb and middle finger, the index finger touches Farn's chest.

Farn's sternum trembled violently, as if a large diamond had struck his chest. He slid back more than three meters in an instant, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The mantra fingering techniques in the Samadhi Power Mudra.

This corresponds to the "皆" character formula.

Both have the meaning of pivot. This move uses the finger, which is to target the joint spaces and key acupoints in the human body where internal energy is circulated.

The reason why Faen had half of the relic embedded in the acupoint and the other half left on the body surface was because he was forcibly borrowing the essence and needed to leave some room for maneuver.

But in front of Chu Tianshu, this monk seemed to be afraid that others wouldn't know where the key to his current internal energy was.

"Array!!"

Taking advantage of Faen's retreat, Chu Tianshu quickly took Faen's place, raised one hand to his chest, and uttered the truth again.

Fill in the gaps and replace the positions.

The aura of the Great Sumeru Formation would normally closely follow the person who set it up.

However, after Faen's relic was sealed and he was severely injured by a finger, he can't even muster a trace of his power now.

Chu Tianshu forcefully took the position, using his spiritual sense to capture the aura of the formation, and then took a step back.

Just as the black aura around the Xiao family woman was dissipating, the burly monk was about to unleash his power to send her flying when he suddenly felt his strength wane.

The woman from the Xiao family was only pushed half a foot to the side by him before rolling to the ground.

"what happened?"

The burly monk looked up and saw that the energy of the array around Chu Tianshu was surging rapidly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

When Faen was restrained at the array node, he was a fraction too slow to use the force.

Chu Tianshu, an outsider, is now controlling the aura of the entire formation.

"Change formation quickly!"

The burly monk uttered three words, but couldn't help taking a step forward.

"Change quickly..."

He had the words on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't finish them the second time.

Because Chu Tianshu took another step back, two steps, three steps...

Chu Tianshu's skill is so vast and his size so enormous that he carries too much weight in the current formation.

As he retreated, the formation tilted, and all the energy flowed towards him.

All the monks were swept along and suppressed, forced to move forward, their faces growing paler and their bodies hunched over.

They felt all their strength sinking downwards, unable to raise it to their throats to make a sound.

Not only them, but also the dozen or so people who were originally surrounded by the formation, including the white-robed youth, all fell into this predicament as soon as they landed.

The young man stepped back, palm raised to his chest, his expression calm, with only the swirling wind around him causing his clothes to flutter.

The fierce and menacing figures who were advancing could not hold on and fell to their knees one after another.

The people hiding among the shops and restaurants were extremely surprised, looking out and swallowing hard as they glanced at the wine flags and signs.

All the flags were flying in the same direction.

Only the blond man and the little girl in red were deliberately bypassed by the gale.

They were like a sturdy, yellowing bamboo shoot and a bright red flower, born on a long, absurd, and unbearable street.

The bystanders in the restaurants and shops, though they had been observing for a long time.

In fact, Chu Tianshu simply took a stroll and retreated ten steps.

The father and daughter looked at Chu Tianshu with some confusion.

Chu Tianshu saw the deep fear still lingering in the little girl's eyes, smiled at them, and raised his finger to signal.

The little girl looked back.

All the men who had escorted her all the way knelt down in the long street, before her.
