Chapter 308: Siege of the Demon Woman

"Retreat!"

Li Yan gave a low shout and retreated rapidly.

On the way, he also dragged two people away.

The other party's move caught him off guard.

When he used divine ability detection just now, he only discovered the secret passage, and an aura was leaving rapidly, which should be that Aunt Liu.

The secret passage was not deep from the ground, so he used thunder magic to break it open directly to prevent the other party from escaping.

He didn't expect that this demon woman was also vigilant.

And he didn't expect that there were so many cat ghosts!

His father likely died from this kind of evil method, so Li Yan naturally inquired about it in detail.

The Cat Ghost technique is usually practiced at the hour of the Rat, because "Rat" implies sacrifice, and this kind of sacrifice cannot be interrupted, otherwise one will be backlashed.

This method was prevalent in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The most famous one is that in the 18th year of Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Tuo, the half-brother of Empress Dugu, was accused of using the Cat Ghost curse to harm the Empress and the wife of Yang Su.

Both the "Book of Sui" and "Zizhi Tongjian" have records, and the maid Xu Ani in Dugu Tuo's house confessed and demonstrated the Cat Ghost summoning technique.

Subsequently, there was the grudge between Wu Zetian and Consort Xiao. Before Consort Xiao died, she cursed: "May Wu become a rat, and I become a cat, strangling her throat life after life."

Since then, demon cats have appeared in the Great Ming Palace.

Even in the "Tang Code", there are laws and punishments specifically for those who raise cat ghosts.

Cat Ghost curses make victims feel like they are being pierced by ten thousand needles, dying in extreme pain, and because it is similar to illness, it is very secretive, so it has been repeatedly banned but not stopped.

This method is very easy to be backlashed, and the sacrifice is continuous every day, so most people raise two or three, which is already the limit.

How could he have expected that the demon woman had raised so many, simply no different from summoning troops.

Even though he reminded them as fast as he could, some people were still hit.

Two martial monks from the Law Enforcement Hall and several Beggar Sect disciples hadn't reacted before they were surrounded by the cat footprints on the ground; their faces turned pale, their lips turned blue and purple, and they fell to the ground clutching their hearts, struggling and screaming.

And that piece of white frost and cat footprints were still spreading.

"Great Wheel Bright King Formation!"

Chengjue gave a roar upon seeing this, and at the same time took off the prayer beads hanging around his neck, shaking them gently, and they wrapped around his arm.

Subsequently, he picked up the convenience shovel and inserted it into the ground suddenly.

At the same time, other monks also jumped up, coming from all directions, with the same movements, holding the sticks in their hands, and suddenly paused on the ground.

Thump!

The ground and the surrounding air shook.

Subsequently, all the monks stared fixedly at the center, chanting scriptures constantly, none of them retreating in fear.

They happened to form a huge circle. The howling Yin wind, white frost, and cat footprints were all trapped within it.

Zen Fomen practice emphasizes "not establishing words, pointing directly to the human heart, seeing nature and becoming a Buddha", focusing on cultivating the heart and not relying too much on external forces.

But after all, they have to suppress one side, drive away evil and subdue demons, so they never mind learning other means.

Like the Shaolin ancestral court, there are various martial arts hand seals, and Baotong Zen Temple is also mixed in means, and even Feng Shui techniques are learned.

In Fomen, the Bright King is the wrathful body of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

The Great Wheel Bright King is one of the eight great Bright Kings of Esoteric Fomen, so the Great Wheel Bright King Dharma Formation, like the Daoist Jing Altar, has the power to drive away inner demons and external evils.

Many martial monks performed it together, and the power could not be underestimated.

The rampant cat ghost swarm was also trapped within it, difficult to break through.

But there were too many of these evil things, and even if the martial monks chanted Buddhist scriptures loudly, their faces were pale, and their bodies were gradually covered with white frost.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yan immediately took out the hook order.

Now the sky is overcast and it is raining lightly; the other party can release cat ghosts, and he can also summon False Yin Si troops.

Although it is a pity, it is still the False Yin Si troops that are the sharpest to deal with these things.

But just then, Lu San moved.

The little cat in his arms had already died.

The crowd couldn't see the shape of the cat ghosts, only hearing sharp cat calls echoing in the air.

To them, it sounded somewhat harsh.

But to Lu San's ears, it was the wailing and screaming of countless cats.

His face was gloomy; he suddenly pinched the tongue of the dead little cat, stained it with some blood, and drew an "s" symbol on his forehead.

This is the most ancient divine curse.

Those pottery jars from the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors often show dense "s" patterns arranged.

This symbol represents the gods.

And its further evolution is Taiji!

After doing this, Lu San shook his head, pinched the magic formula, his eyes suddenly became empty, his hands raised the cat's corpse, and he suddenly jumped a Nuo dance, making various long and short sounds and tongue-flicking sounds in his mouth.

His Nuo dance steps were somewhat like the Yu steps.

Seeing this, Li Yan hurriedly put away the hook order, pulled out the Dust-Breaking Saber with a clang, and guarded Lu San to protect the Dharma.

Chengjue was also thoughtful and looked at Lu San's side.

The remaining martial monks were fully focused, trying their best to support.

With Lu San's Nuo dance, a desolate and distant aura rose, carrying a certain wild charm, echoing in everyone's ears.

What was even weirder was that all the cat ghosts stopped, and the ground covered in white frost, the cat footprints also stopped moving.

Soon, those cat footprints began to disappear one by one.

"Amitabha, good, good!"

Chengjue put away the crescent convenience shovel, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name.

Anyone could see that these cat ghosts were being transcended.

So fast, the monks were also shocked.

And in Li Yan's heart, there was a vague guess.

Lu San practiced the ancient witchcraft "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is best at communicating with ghosts and gods, and the Cat Ghost technique, to put it bluntly, also evolved from ancient witchcraft curses.

One is to harm people, and the other is to transcend the dead.

One is an evil method, and the other is the righteous method of the Witchcraft Sect.

The high and low are judged, and it is directly restrained.

"Looking for death!"

A woman's scream came from the secret passage.

The magic technique was broken, this Liu Niang was clearly injured, and what made her heart ache even more was that the cat ghosts she had painstakingly caught were swept away.

In fact, it was fortunate that Lu San had a benevolent heart and couldn't bear to see these poor creatures suffer, so he transcended them directly.

If he had used force to fight force, and instead controlled the cat ghosts, he could have made Liu Niang suffer backlash, being bitten to death by many cat ghosts.

She clearly knew this point, so she turned and fled without hesitation.

"Where to run!"

The great monk Chengjue gave a roar, and his strong body whistled out.

Although he awakened the Body Divine Ability, the passage had been opened by Li Yan, so he could still roughly judge Liu Niang's position by his keen hearing.

I saw this great monk exert force under his feet, two loud bangs, and he jumped up directly; in mid-air, he suddenly changed his hand seal, his right palm downward, his fingers naturally straight, falling like a Vajra statue.

This is the Buddhist Subduing Demon Seal.

It represents all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas subduing demons and protecting all living beings. With a loud bang, mud splashed everywhere.

Unlike Li Yan's thunder magic, with the help of the Buddhist Dharma Seal and a strong body, the ground above the secret passage was actually smashed to collapse by Chengjue.

Swoosh!

A figure broke through the ground.

The road ahead was blocked, and this Liu Niang could only flee from the ground.

Li Yan finally saw the appearance of this woman.

She was not tall, her figure was graceful, her face was beautiful, pure and with a trace of enchantment, but her face was pale and there was blood at the corners of her mouth.

Judging by her age, she was at most seventeen or eighteen.

Although she was injured by the backlash of the magic technique, her aura was still strong, and looking at her movements, she had actually stepped into the Transformation level!

Not right!

This woman had not returned to life!

Li Yan frowned, immediately sensing something tricky.

According to the time his father was harmed, this woman reincarnated and returned to life, at most ten years old, unless she didn't reincarnate, but possessed.

！.

But if she possessed, the soul and body would not match, and she would suffer day and night; how could she have the ability to refine so many cat ghosts?

Although he was strange in his heart, Li Yan still held the Dust-Breaking Saber horizontally and rushed out in two or three steps, blocking the other party's escape direction.

But the one who moved faster was Chengjue.

"Stay!"

This great monk gave a roar, lowered his body, stepped across, and came directly below that Liu Niang, his strong body actually giving people a dragon-like posture, his palm drew an arc, and he suddenly jumped up.

Sparrow Ground Dragon!

Li Yan recognized this move; many boxing techniques have it, including the Red Fist he practiced, which specializes in the lower plate.

But this great monk clearly used Vajra Fist.

Liu Niang had just jumped out, and Chengjue used this move, which was extremely clever, directly grabbing the other party's ankle.

Thump!

Without half a bit of pity for the fragrant and cherishing the jade, Chengjue pulled suddenly, and Liu Niang's entire body fell to the ground with a bang.

If an ordinary person suffered such a blow, most would have broken muscles and bones, but this Liu Niang only suffered internal organ damage and sprayed a mouthful of blood.

Her reaction was also extremely fast; her body twisted, and she was like a python, winding up along Chengjue's arm, her posture extremely ambiguous.

This Liu Niang had already stepped into the Transformation level; this seemingly intertwined posture was actually powerful, like a python strangling.

"Demon woman!"

Chengjue's cultivation was even deeper, having reached the peak of the Transformation level; how could he be afraid? His arm exerted force suddenly, his muscles knotted, like refined steel; no matter how Liu Niang used force, she couldn't strangle his arm.

At the same time, Chengjue's other palm slapped out suddenly.

His palm was congested and red, as if it had expanded a section, carrying the howling of the wind; it was the Great Strength Vajra Palm.

If this palm hit, it could directly break Liu Niang's legs.

However, Liu Niang suddenly opened her mouth and sprayed a large cloud of red smoke, covering Chengjue's body.

At the same time, she twisted her body and jumped out in a strange posture, dodging Chengjue's palm.

Chengjue gave a muffled groan and actually sat cross-legged without a word, his hands palms upward on his lower abdomen, his right hand on his left hand, his two thumbs touching.

This is the Buddhist Zen Ding Seal, which can guard the heart and mind.

Li Yan naturally knew why the other party stopped.

That red mist was weird; he was still ten meters away, but just smelling a trace, he felt his nasal cavity greasy, and his little brother already had a tendency to lift his head.

What a powerful aphrodisiac!

"It's poisonous, don't get close!"

Li Yan gave a high shout and hurriedly held his breath.

While speaking, he had already exerted force under his feet, as if shrinking the ground into an inch, and arrived beside that Liu Niang in two steps, stabbing with his saber.

"Hahaha..."

Liu Niang let out a wild laugh; her body seemed to have no bones, and she easily dodged the Dust-Breaking Saber with a posture that completely violated common sense, while kicking at Li Yan's head with her other foot.

At the same time, she kept teasing and mocking in her mouth, "Boy, your father was killed by me back then; it's a pity that he didn't know who he had provoked until he died..."

Li Yan had destroyed the Ghost Sect's plans three times, especially after killing the "Red Woman", so his information had been passed out when he left Dangyang County.

He came to Wuchang, and Liu Niang naturally knew; the time she sent the three Meishan brothers to ambush outside was ordered by Liu Niang.

This remark was intended to disturb Li Yan's mind.

However, although Li Yan's expression was gloomy, his eyes were always calm, and the Dust-Breaking Saber in his hand slashed left, swept up, swept horizontally... one saber faster than the other.

Although this Liu Niang's movement technique was stronger than Li Yan's, under this fast saber, she couldn't escape at all.

And on the other side, Chengjue was in Zen Ding, the wind howled around him, blowing away the red mist, and the red skin on his body was gradually returning to normal.

The martial monks of the Law Enforcement Hall around also surrounded them.

And there was Lu San, holding the dead little cat, staring fixedly at her, muttering to himself, clearly casting a curse.

Liu Niang could clearly feel that a cold murderous intent was surging from her heart, and the injury from the cat ghost magic technique being broken began to erupt in backlash.

"Looking for death!"

Liu Niang was anxious, flashed, dodged the Dust-Breaking Saber, and like a python, coiled around Li Yan's body with her two legs.

The posture was somewhat ambiguous, but the murderous intent was cold; she clearly wanted to use her powerful strength to strangle Li Yan's spine directly.

This kung fu of hers was more like the yoga technique from the side of Shendu (ancient India), but it was also mixed with some small, insidious Martial World methods.

However, Li Yan was waiting for this.

Clatter!

The Hook Gou Hun Suo whistled out.

This Liu Niang's movement technique was weird and astonishing; Li Yan was afraid that the other party would dodge, so he didn't use the Hook Gou Hun Suo the first time.

Now that the other party had taken the initiative to coil up, how could there be time to dodge.

Sure enough, the Hook Gou Hun Suo rolled, and this Liu Niang's whole body stiffened, her pupils quickly lost focus, and she slid off Li Yan's body softly.

It was not beyond Li Yan's expectation that this demon woman was indeed carrying some kind of protective talisman, and the Hook Gou Hun Suo was also obstructed.

However, his Hook Gou Hun Suo had already been upgraded.

The magic method learned from Liu Gang, absorbing the bone claws left by the ancient night owl, just shook gently, and it broke the other party's magic weapon.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan slashed back a few times, directly cutting off the other party's hands and feet, and stabbed through her dantian with another saber.

No matter what kung fu the other party had, the dantian was broken, unable to operate blood and energy to exert force, and the hands and feet were also cut off, completely losing the chance to escape.

The other party knew a lot of information, so naturally, he had to ask before killing.

After doing this, Li Yan put away the Hook Gou Hun Suo, swirled the saber again, and shook off the blood on the saber.

"Ah!"

Liu Niang woke up and gave a scream.

In her feeling, she just felt dark before her eyes; after recovering consciousness, she had already lost her hands and feet, and the dantian area also transmitted bursts of severe pain.

Seeming to know that it was difficult to escape, Liu Niang's eyes were full of madness; she endured the pain, stared fixedly at Li Yan, and gritted her teeth, "Boy, wait; when I return, I will definitely make you beg for death..."

Before she finished speaking, she sprayed a mouthful of blood.

This demon woman had actually planted Gu poison on herself; now her heart had already ruptured, and her aura was getting weaker and weaker.

Li Yan frowned, immediately knowing her plan.

Zhao Changsheng had already mastered the method of helping people return to life; at worst, she would die, then return to life through secret methods and return to the world.

Li Yan glanced coldly, and the Hook Gou Hun Suo whistled out again, directly hooking a cold aura from the other party's body and crushing it without hesitation.

"Thinking quite beautifully..."
