Chapter 387: Stepping into the trap she set
The python demon is the pet of the evil cultivators of the Five Formations Sect.
Evil cultivators generally have many crooked methods. If they don't practice well themselves, they like to take shortcuts and absorb other people's skills to increase their own cultivation. This is also one of them.
The python demon followed a master like that, so it was natural for him to follow his example, so he also learned some insidious methods.
The demon pill the size of a volleyball hovered over Pei Anzhu's head, about a foot away. The demon pill emitted a dark red light and looked very strange and enchanting, full of ominous aura.
Dark red light shone on Pei Anzhu's body, enveloping her like a beam of light. At this moment, she seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move.
Two seconds later, Pei Anzhu's face began to turn pale.
Upon seeing this, the python demon was immediately overjoyed:
“Hahaha!! The purest spiritual power! What an unexpected surprise! After coming to this crappy place, the spiritual energy was so thin that I could only sleep underground for many years. I haven’t felt such pure spiritual energy for a long time!”
“Qingzhu Immortal Lord, you came just in time! I have stayed at the peak of Yuanying for a long time. I thought that I would never have the opportunity to advance in this world. Who knew that you would come to my door yourself!”
“If the great power of the Divine Transformation stage is absorbed by me and cultivated, I will be able to reach the peak of Divine Transformation, and no one in this world will be able to control me anymore! This is an opportunity given to me by God!”
Pei Anzhu was wrapped up in the snake's tail and could not move.
Whether it was Officer Du and Shen Yueran on the ship, or the leaders in the central city conference room, they were extremely anxious, staring at the screen with burning eyes, looking forward to the next moment when Pei Anzhu could break free from the shackles and kill the evil spirits.
Just like she used to be.
So powerful, with a wave of his hand, he can turn defeat into victory and turn the tide.
However, to their disappointment, Pei Anzhu did not make any move. She seemed to have reached the end of her strength and had no ability to fight back at all.
When the leaders of Central City saw this scene, they only hesitated for a few seconds and then ordered Officer Du:
"The super-destructive weapons you applied for before have been shipped. If Master Pei really can't survive from this python demon, then we must do our best to kill this python demon in the sea. We must not let it A city close to humanity.”
“The weapon is given to you, and you decide when to use it.”
Officer Du felt very uncomfortable when he received such an order. He didn't want Pei Anzhu to die, but based on the current situation, he couldn't see whether Pei Anzhu had any backup plans.
Even Shen Yueran couldn't understand. She clutched her heart and clenched her hands into fists. She wanted to crawl along the screen and cut the python monster into pieces.
"Officer Du, wait a moment." Shen Yueran forced herself to calm down, "You have known Xiaozhu for the longest time, so you should know what kind of person she is. She will not do anything that she is not sure of. I believe that she must have It’s an unknown trump card, so please don’t use this weapon yet.”
Use weapons as a last resort.
What the leaders meant was that if Pei Anzhu was no match for the python demon, or died at the hands of the python demon, then basically no one in the world could lift the curse of the great demon.
Since the curse cannot be lifted, the big demon must die and must not be allowed to pose a threat to human society.
As for why the Xuanmen inheritance is cut off and there is no hope for the future, it is basically out of the scope of consideration. If you can't even pass the current hurdle, how can you talk about the future?
Police Officer Du looked at Shen Yueran and nodded solemnly:
"Of course I won't use this weapon easily, and I don't want Master Pei to die, but that monster is too powerful. If Master Pei dies in its hands, it will chase us next moment and kill the entire fleet. Lost in this.”
“By that time, it will be too late to use weapons.”
Therefore, if the moment comes when it is necessary to use weapons, Pei Anzhu becomes a kind of restraint on the python demon. Only when she restrains the python demon in a fixed position can the shells hit the opponent more accurately.
But by that time, Pei Anzhu will definitely be blown into pieces together with the python demon and buried in the sea.
This is an outcome that no one wants to see.
At the sea, at the center of the battle, Pei Anzhu seemed to be in a desperate situation.
She allowed the python demon to absorb her own power. She could feel her cultivation level slowly falling from the stage of becoming a god, the early stage of becoming a god, the peak of the Yuanying, the middle stage of the Yuanying, the early stage of the Yuanying...
As time passed, her face became paler and her cultivation level became lower and lower.
On the contrary, it is the demon elixir of the python demon. The dark red light is getting bigger and brighter, one is ebbing and the other is ebbing, which shows that the python demon's plan is successful.
The python demon saw Pei Anzhu getting weaker and weaker, and suddenly laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha!! How pitiful! I thought you were capable of something, but I didn't expect it to be anything more than this. I admit, you are indeed the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered. You can fight me single-handedly, but you can also seriously injure me. Second-rate."
"It's a pity that your genius ends here. Today is your death day. After you die, I will eat your body and your soul, and you will no longer have the chance to be reincarnated."
“A generation of genius has passed away, so pitiful! I will always remember you!”
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Pei Anzhu still didn't say a word and didn't understand. She looked up at the demon pill and felt all her cultivation being sucked in. Her eyes were calm, as if she didn't know she was going to die.
Or maybe, she had already accepted her ending until she was about to die, so her mood did not recover at all.
The python demon is still stimulating her:
"Tsk, tsk, what should I do? Your cultivation has fallen into the Golden Core stage. Hahahaha, you are so weak now that I can slap you to death with just one tail. But I don't want to do that. I just want to slowly, slowly Slowly, drain your cultivation, and let you watch yourself become an ordinary person, sober and desperate!"
Golden elixir peak, golden elixir middle stage, golden elixir early stage…
In the central city conference room, the leader’s instructions came again:
"We can't wait any longer. When the monster completely absorbs Master Pei's cultivation, it will become even more powerful. By that time, none of us can guarantee that weapons can kill it."
“It must be nipped in the cradle before it is fully absorbed.”
According to what Pei Anzhu said before, they speculated that the weapon can kill Yuanying stage monsters—
Previously, Shen Yueran proposed to use weapons. Officer Du contacted Pei Anzhu, but Pei Anzhu rejected the proposal because Pei Anzhu said that she needed the big demon alive to lift the curse.
The implication of this sentence is that if a weapon is used, the big demon will most likely die.
It was this speculation that gave everyone the confidence to destroy the monster with weapons, but they were afraid of Pei Anzhu.
But now, Pei Anzhu seems to be dying.
Police Officer Du struggled for a long time, turned to look at Shen Yueran, and said:
"I'm sorry, I know Master Pei is very important, but the lives of the people on the shore are more important. Master Pei's cultivation level is getting lower and lower. Even if she has a way to escape, she is not enough to fight against the powerful monster."
"Master Pei often said that it is one's duty to kill demons and protect the common people. Several generations of temple masters in Shuyun Temple, from Master Shuyun to Master Qingfeng, have done it for the people of the world, using themselves as bets and pulling big demons to die together. ”
“I think Master Pei won’t blame me if I made this choice in a desperate situation.”
"If...when I solve everything here, I will willingly die together with Master Pei to pay for her life."
Shen Yueran pulled Officer Du and begged:
“Wait a little longer, I don’t believe she has no back-up plan, please wait a little longer, okay?”
“I can’t wait any longer,” Officer Du said, resolutely giving the order to the person who launched the weapon, “Everyone listen to my command, measure the distance, aim at the target, and count down for ten seconds...”
Shen Yueran could do nothing.
She looked at the screen blankly, hugging the little fox, and looked at a loss. She herself had wounds all over her body. She had fought so many people on the island before, and then she was rescued by Pei Anzhu, but she had never dealt with them.
At first, she didn't feel the pain of the wound. She knew that Pei Anzhu was in more pain because Pei Anzhu was the one who was really facing a life-and-death crisis.
But now, she felt pain.
A huge pain came out of her heart and spread outwards, spreading to her limbs and bones.
She suddenly realized something:
Pei Anzhu... is going to die.
Died in this battle with the big monster, or to be more precise, died with the big monster, under the weapons of the country.
She can't do anything, can't change the solution, and can't save the other party.
Beside him, Officer Du’s countdown has begun:
“10, 9, 8…”
At this time, the python demon’s laughter became even more wild:
"Qingzhu Immortal Lord! Your cultivation has dropped to the foundation-building stage! You will be a useless person soon!!"
The peak of foundation building, the middle stage of foundation building, the early stage of foundation building…
“7, 6, 5…” The countdown continues.
The next second, Pei Anzhu's cultivation level dropped to the Qi refining stage.
The Qi refining period is the threshold for cultivating immortality. The first step for all those who embark on the path of cultivating immortality is to introduce Qi into the body. This is the Qi refining period. The current Pei Anzhu is worse than those black-robed men on the island before. .
Even if Lan Wu is caught by the Abnormality Bureau, he is still in the foundation building period.
“4, 3, 2…”
Police Officer Du stared at the screen, counting the countdown in his mouth, his eyes red, as if he was seeing Pei Anzhu off.
But at this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Pei Anzhu's face:
“Cripple? Are you sure?”
This sentence completely woke up the people in front of the screen. Shen Yueran was the first to react:
“Stop! Stop quickly! She has a backup plan! She can deal with the big demon!”
Officer Du reacted very quickly. Instead of counting down to "1", he ordered: "Pause the launch!"
Everything that happened in the cabin was also heard by the leaders of Central City. Some people thought that Pei Anzhu had another plan, but some people thought that those were just the cruel words she said before she died.
Some people blame Officer Du for missing the best opportunity.
On the sea, the confrontation between Pei Anzhu and the python demon continues—
"What do you mean? I have absorbed all your cultivation. You are a waste in the Qi refining period. Are you no longer a useless person? Qingzhu Immortal Lord, just accept your death!" The python demon was ferocious.
Pei Anzhu looked calm and smiled:
"This sentence is given to you. A generation of great demons will eventually fall. If you don't believe it, can you look at your demon pill?"
After hearing this, the python demon immediately looked towards his demon pill, and everyone in front of the screen also subconsciously looked at the big bead that exuded an ominous aura.
Finally, someone discovered the clue:
“That bead seems to be... about to crack?”
This person used a questioning tone, not very sure, but the fact is this is the result.
The demon pill is about to burst.
The original demon pill is a round whole with a smooth and shiny surface, wrapped in dark red light, which contains the python demon's lifelong cultivation.
But now, as it absorbed Pei Anzhu's cultivation, the demon pill seemed to be unable to bear it, and tiny cracks began to appear. As it absorbed more and more cultivation, the cracks became larger and larger.
It was so big that the python demon hurriedly cast spells to repair it, but to no avail.
"don't want-"
Amidst the heart-rending screams of the python demon, the demon pill seemed to finally be unable to withstand the cultivation power it sucked in. A dazzling golden light emitted from the cracks, instantly dispelling the dark red color, and then exploded with a bang.
The demon cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the demon elixir exploded, and the noise was no less than the artillery shells prepared by the country.
Everyone in front of the screen felt a huge wave coming towards them. The drones selected in the sky were swept away, leaving only one that was far away and survived.
By the time the endless rumbling ended, three minutes had passed and the sea finally calmed down.
Police Officer Du let people control the drone and approached the center of the explosion, and then discovered something shocking-
The python demon's head that was originally raised dropped down, and its entire body lay on the sea, stretching for hundreds of meters. From a distance, it looked like a black long embankment.
Pi Anzhu, who originally thought he would die, just lay on his back on the python demon, seven inches closer.
She was covered in blood and her face was pale. She looked very weak, as if she would be blown away by the wind in the next second. But when she saw the drone, she twitched the corners of her mouth and raised a smile.
Pei Anzhu raised his hand vigorously and waved at the drone:
"It's solved. Let me rest for a while, recover my strength, and solve the big demon's curse. Then you can send people to drag this thing back."
The moment the words fell, the people in front of the screen had different expressions.
The leaders of Central City were silent.
In Officer Du's red eyes, a tear fell down the corner of his eye, but he tried to open his eyes wide, as if he could take back the tear.
The one who cried the loudest was Shen Yueran. She collapsed on the ground, hugging the little fox, and cried so loudly:
"I knew...I knew she never fought an unprepared battle! I knew she had a backup plan for herself! She is still alive, still alive..."
The drone is still circling, as if celebrating Pei Anzhu's survival.
She lay there for a while, about five minutes, and then regained her strength. She took out a handful of the elixirs she had refined from her storage ring. No matter what the effect was, they were all good for replenishing energy and blood. Into his mouth.
Chew it, chew it, and swallow it.
The elixir took effect in her body, repairing her body, and the spiritual power of her cultivation during the Qi refining period was very little, as thin as a gossamer, but it also traveled in her meridians, recovering her exhausted energy inch by inch. Reiki.
After a long time, she stood up and walked calmly on the back of the python demon.
Take out the skin, blood, tendons, bones, heart, and demon elixir fragments of the python demon, and use the environment on site and other props in the storage ring to set up a formation.
She used the demon elixir fragments as formation eyes and demon blood as the medium to draw complex patterns.
After the formation was formed, Pei Anzhu stood on the python demon and cast the spell. Her ten fingers quickly formed seals, as if an afterimage was shaking out, and she muttered something:
"The great demon is used as a sacrifice, and the demon's blood is used as a matchmaker to warn the heavens. The curse will be broken in this world. From today on, the Xuanmen will continue, the Taoist gate will flourish, the demon realm will not be opened, the demons will no longer exist, and the luck will be cut off."
“The way of heaven is above, and this world, in the three realms, four seas and eight deserts, within the six paths of yin and yang, heaven and earth, will follow the established trajectory and within order, with continuous destiny and endless blessings.”
The next second, the formation suddenly lit up with golden light, which was very dazzling, but the light was very soft and did not make people feel dazzling. At the same time, there were also thin and dense rays of light falling from the sky and falling on the formation, which seemed to be a response from heaven. .
It seemed like some invisible shackles were loosened at this moment.
Others didn't think it was a big deal, but Shen Yueran felt the most. She was originally a disciple taught by Pei Anzhu with great care. In addition to her master-disciple status, she had long been a member of the Xuanmen.
After the shackles were released, she felt so blessed that her soul was as if she had caught something from the air.
The next second, she sat down cross-legged in front of Officer Du. She meditated and adjusted her breath according to the method Pei Anzhu taught her before. Soon, invisible air flow hovered around her, and the wounds on her body also appeared. Heal slowly.
Police Officer Du looked on stunned, not knowing what was happening.
But when the little fox saw this, he understood. It raised its head and said to Officer Du:
“She had an epiphany and breathed into her body.”
Compared to the black-robed man who used shady means to embark on the path of cultivation, Shen Yueran followed the orthodox path of cultivating immortality. Because Pei Anzhu laid a solid foundation for her in the early stage, when the opportunity came, she was able to achieve it in one step.
Introducing Qi into the body, he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
It's just that the spiritual energy here is thin, and I don't know how far her cultivation will reach in the end, but no matter what, Shen Yueran is now a monk in the Qi refining stage.
Police Officer Du didn't say anything, just sighed slightly, with a flash of envy in his eyes.
But he also knew that this kind of thing depends on chance. Shen Yueran got it right in one step, taking advantage of the right time, place and people.
He was sincerely happy for Shen Yueran.
Because he knew that in addition to Pei Anzhu, Longguo had another powerful person.
After the light dissipated, Shen Yueran successfully introduced Qi into his body, and all the wounds on his body disappeared. Looking at the distant sea, in the center of the battlefield, only Pei Anzhu and the big demon who had lost the demon elixir were left.
The python demon is not dead yet. It has only lost its demon elixir and cultivation level. This will not affect its life. In real terms, it is still a huge monster that can pose a threat to people.
But as it said before, no matter how huge it is, it is just an ordinary python.
As for Pei Anzhu, even though her cultivation has dropped to the Qi Refining stage, she is still an immortal cultivator.
Now, it is no longer a match for Pei Anzhu.
At this moment, the python demon has lost all its fighting spirit. It lies there obediently, using it as a bed for Pei Anzhu, letting her lie on it, letting her step on it, and letting her take away the parts of her body to lift the curse.
It knows that it has no room for resistance.
Pei Anzhu crossed his legs and sat on the python. He waved at the drone again and smiled brightly.
While waiting for Officer Du to send a boat to pick him up, the python demon endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and said:
“There’s something I can’t figure out.”
Pei Anzhu smiled and asked:
“Can’t you figure out why the demon pill explodes when you absorb my cultivation?”
The python demon was silent for a long time before he answered:
"Yes, I can't figure out why the demon pill explodes and absorbs other people's cultivation. I have done it a lot. When I was in the world of cultivation, I followed my master and sucked everyone in."
“The master’s cultivation method cannot absorb other people’s cultivation, but he needs other people’s luck and longevity, but I can absorb other people’s cultivation, so we cooperated, and I don’t know how many people we have dealt with using this method.”
"My master and I are the closest partners. If we join forces, it won't be a problem even if we fight two levels higher. Anyway, after defeating the enemy, he will take over the opponent's luck, life span, and all property, while I will absorb the opponent's cultivation." To make the other person a mortal and wait for death."
"But this method didn't work on you. I obviously followed the previous steps without any mistakes, but why didn't it succeed?"
Pei Anzhu glanced at the big python with pity and sneered:
“As expected, he is a demon who follows evil ways and doesn’t even know the basic common sense that everyone in the world of cultivation knows.”
“Seeing that you have become useless and can no longer make a difference, I will kindly explain to you that the famous and upright monks in the world of cultivation have different directions in the process of cultivation.”
"For example, the Tianjian Sect practices swordsmanship. They can hold the sword tightly and move forward; some people in Wanfa Pavilion practice medicine, and doctors are benevolent; some people practice Xiaoyao Dao, free and easy; some people practice medicine. The ruthless path abandons the seven emotions and six desires...but no matter what path you practice, it is the inner direction of the monks. "
“Do you know what I am cultivating? I am a disciple of Xuanji Sect, but I am cultivating the mind of merit and virtue. I have a body of merit and virtue for ten lifetimes, and cultivating merit is twice the result with half the effort. Merit is the nemesis of all demons and monsters.”
“Can your evil pill tolerate my merits?”
"The moment I met you, I knew that if I were to fight you alone, I might not be able to easily defeat you with your thick defense and demon cultivator physique that can leapfrog battles, so at that time , I have thought of a way to use merit to deal with you."
"I voluntarily give up all my cultivation and start from scratch. I will also destroy you and eradicate the threat you pose to this world."
After hearing this, the boa constrictor suddenly realized:
“So, you did it on purpose.”
“You deliberately fought me, deliberately tried every means to hurt me, and tried your best to fight me until you were exhausted and trapped by me. All of this was actually part of your plan.”
“I thought you couldn’t resist, but in fact I fell into your trap.”
"That's right." Pei Anzhu admitted generously, "You are a demon cultivator at the peak of Yuanying. You have lived a long time. You are not the kind of person who has just awakened your wisdom and is ignorant. If you want to deceive you, you must be truthful. If I were a little bit If you resist and pretend to be trapped by you, you will wonder if I have other plans and will not absorb my power. "
Only when you really fight, when you are exhausted and unable to do anything, can you completely lower the python demon's vigilance, lead it to devour your own cultivation, and use the power of merit to explode its demon elixir.
