Chapter 26 Breaking the Evil, Slaying the Demonic (Thanks to Feng Yu Jiang who never tries hard to code for the generous reward)

An Eight-Sided Han Sword stabbed straight and fiercely into the battle.

Stepping forward, taking stance.

With a breath, he slashed horizontally. The blade cut out an arc of light. The black scissors in the Bone Lady's hand, obviously an object of yin, collided with the Eight-Sided Han Sword, and a sizzling sound like burning was emitted. Runes flashed on the sword. Wei Yuan immediately pressed forward, holding the broken sword in his left hand, exerting force with his arm, and slashed down at the Bone Lady.

There seemed to be a faint roar.

Even Zhou Yi and Shen Wenlei saw the phantom of a fierce tiger behind Wei Yuan in a trance.

Derived from the Twin Dragons and Tigers Swordplay, coupled with the blessing of the Crouching Tiger Waist Token, the power of this short sword technique, which emphasized a heavy and profound sword style, was brought to its fullest by Wei Yuan.

The broken sword was already entangled with yin energy, and coupled with the Evil-Breaking and Demon-Slaying Talisman that Wei Yuan had just applied, the Bone Lady dared not take it head-on and had to retreat.

In a battle between two sides, the invisible momentum is also extremely crucial. And retreating, the momentum inevitably declined.

Wei Yuan's right-hand Eight-Sided Han Sword followed closely, the long sword moving in a Dragon Sword style, light and agile. Often in the blink of an eye, three or five swords would be struck, like a flurry of cold snow. The short sword in his left hand moved in a Tiger Sword style, heavy and overbearing, and occasionally a single sword forced the Bone Lady to retreat.

Zhou Yi took this opportunity to send Shen Wenlei, who was unable to walk due to fear, out of this alleyway trapped by a ghost wall. She could handle ordinary ghosts, but she was somewhat inadequate when facing this kind of fierce monster.

A Taoist's talisman can have an effect on the bodies of demons and ghosts, requiring one to perform the Gang Stepping and Constellation Pacing when drawing the talisman, and to chant incantations silently when using it.

Disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion had once tried to engrave talismans on firearms and ammunition, but when fired, the talisman incantations were scattered, making them of little use. At least for now, they had not succeeded. And for these kinds of demonic and strange creatures, ordinary firearms and bullets had little damage, while high-powered firearms could not be used in the city, making it somewhat awkward.

Zhou Yi sent the woman out.

Meanwhile, Wei Yuan was entangled with the Bone Lady, but stubbornly refused to get too close.

Even if the opponent revealed a flaw, he would never step within three steps. He only used his sword as a circle, constantly consuming the demon's magic power. The talismans of the Celestial Master's Mansion were all drawn by Taoists who were not good at fighting but had profound Taoist cultivation, so their effectiveness lasted for a very long time.

Either the Bone Lady had not been unsealed for long, or her power was related to the number of painted skin slaves.

After a moment of fighting, the Bone Lady showed signs of exhaustion.

Wei Yuan seized the opportunity, changed his footwork, and slashed diagonally. The Eight-Sided Han Sword changed from its previous light and agile sword style, becoming simple and solemn, with a heavy momentum. It was the style of battlefield swordsmanship. The Bone Lady was caught off guard and was directly stabbed through.

Twisting and churning.

Wei Yuan instantly retreated and distanced himself.

However, the Bone Lady did not use the trick of embracing with bone spurs. Instead, she let out a resentful murmur, emitting a strong black baleful aura. Wei Yuan noticed something was wrong, raised his hand, grabbed an Evil-Breaking and Demon-Slaying Talisman from his waist, and quickly recited the incantation, striking the talisman towards the Bone Lady.

The black baleful aura suddenly dissipated, leaving only a tattered human skin inside.

"She ran..."

"Is it a trick taught by that Mountain Lord?"

Wei Yuan muttered in his heart.

Raising his hand, he clipped a Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman:

"Heaven and earth are natural, foul air disperses, mysteries in the cave, shining Taoyuan, command!"

The talisman dissipated, and everything around Wei Yuan became incomparably natural and clear in his eyes. And among them, a black foul aura was even more conspicuous. Wei Yuan picked up his sword and chased after it. After taking a few steps, he heard a rumbling sound. Zhou Yi's motorcycle stopped directly in front of Wei Yuan.

"Get on!"

………………

In the long years of following the Mountain Lord, the Bone Lady did not know what benefits she had gained. That escape technique was mysterious and unpredictable, almost escaping the effective range of Wei Yuan's Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman. Fortunately, Zhou Yi's vehicle had enough horsepower. In her urgency, she ignored everything else and ran several red lights, following the Bone Lady's tracks under Wei Yuan's guidance.

On the way, they also saw an armed police officer injure his arm to protect a girl next to him.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi had already sent the message out. The Special Operations Group and the police had joined forces to disperse pedestrians on the road ahead as much as possible, and had sent members of the Special Operations Group to try to stop her, so as not to cause too much chaos.

However, since the Bone Lady had to crave harming people to restore her vitality, she had obviously reached her limit.

When the third Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman was exhausted, Wei Yuan finally saw the Tian family woman, who only had bones left. In front of her, a young man around twenty-seven or eight years old, holding a horsetail whisk and a long sword, was entangling her. His clothes had elements of Taoist robes, but were simpler and easier to move in.

The young man's sword style was quite fierce.

The Bone Lady seemed to have no power to fight back, and had already been forced within three steps.

At that moment, her white ribs suddenly翘起 slightly, and at the same time, her arms wrapped around the young man. Wei Yuan shouted and retreated, raised his hand, drew out the sheath of the Eight-Sided Han Sword from behind, applied an Evil-Breaking and Demon-Slaying Talisman, and threw it with a flick of his hand. The scabbard carried a gust of evil wind and spun, hitting the Bone Lady, with a snap.

A bone spur of the Bone Lady pierced the scabbard, also exposing her hidden move.

The young man retreated in horror.

And Wei Yuan had already jumped off the car when Zhou Yi slowed down. The double swords in his hand were fierce and unmatched. Taking advantage of the momentum, he rushed straight at the Bone Lady. The long sword stabbed out, and the sound of the sword faintly clear like a dragon, while the broken sword was heavy like a tiger, bringing the characteristics of the Xuan Yuan Sword Art to its fullest.

After the escape technique, the Bone Lady had already reached her limit. After only a few moves, her leg bones were cut off, and she fell to the ground, unable to move.

Wei Yuan did not notice the sudden change in the young man's expression next to him.

He sheathed the broken sword with his left hand, held the Eight-Sided Han Sword with his right hand, pressed his fingers against the blade, stepped on the Yu steps, and slowly moved forward. The Bone Lady suddenly struggled and knelt on the ground, uttering the crisp voice of a woman, her voice pathetic, "Several Taoist masters, please spare me, please spare me..."

"This concubine was originally a farmer's daughter, kind to others, but after being beaten to death by her husband, she was controlled by that Tiger Lord and could not help herself."

"Several of you are detached from the world and have a virtue of kindness. I don't ask to regain my freedom, I only ask to serve in atonement, helping you Taoist masters to capture and kill that Tiger Lord, to atone for my sins. At that time, I only ask for a rebirth in the next life..."

Zhou Yi and the young man who had stopped the demon both showed hesitant expressions.

It wasn't that they were soft-hearted and trusted the ghost.

But when they heard about the Tiger Lord, they were shocked and had the idea of temporarily keeping the demon alive. On the contrary, Wei Yuan remained unmoved. He sighed in his heart. Sure enough, after thousands of years, even a wooden bump could become a spirit. Before, she had persuaded the Sili Colonel with filial piety, but now she reasoned with them and moved them with profit.

She was quick-witted.

The Bone Lady kowtowed repeatedly, her words sincere.

Wei Yuan took in the expressions of Zhou Yi and the two, looked at the Bone Lady, and his tone turned cold, saying:

"The Tian family is not some farming family."

"A thousand years ago, I spared your life, but it led to a city of officials being turned into human skins, and the entire Liu mansion, one or two hundred people, all died tragically. Now, you're pulling the same trick?"

The Bone Lady was slightly stunned, and then recalled the most painful memory of the past.

If she still had a face, her pupils would definitely shrink in fear at this moment. She looked at Wei Yuan. At this moment, Wei Yuan was backlit, unable to see his face clearly. He only held the Eight-Sided Han Sword in one hand and wore a short sword behind his waist. She could faintly hear a low tiger roar, and he was so familiar with her methods and experiences...

The Bone Lady suddenly struggled, her voice extremely terrified and angry, saying:

"No, impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

"You are just a person, how could you possibly live for more than a thousand years?! This is impossible!"

Wei Yuan couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. The Bone Lady, in her fear, actually thought that he was the Sili Colonel of ancient times, which was ridiculous. Seeing that she had already lost her composure in fear, he didn't want to say anything. He calmed his mind.

He pressed his finger against the blade, exerting a little force, and a wisp of blood flowed out.

Dipping the blood, he directly wrote the Evil-Breaking and Demon-Slaying Talisman on the blade.

His blood had its own magic power, and he also had the Spirit Infusion Divine Power. A talisman directly lit up on the blade.

Then, he suddenly slashed horizontally.

The Bone Lady still wanted to struggle, but her leg bones were cut off, and she didn't have time to escape. Her head had already been cut off.

The last wisp of divine soul obsession dissipated, and Wei Yuan's Ghost Dispelling Divine Power naturally operated. He faintly seemed to see a woman's resentment and madness at the end of her life, towards the lazy Li family man who beat her to death, towards the woman who replaced her body, and even towards her parents.

'Do mortal eyes only see that one skin!!!'

The woman's shrill cries slowly dissipated.

The various pasts, the vicious Bone Lady, the crazy demon, the ugly and fat woman who was beaten to death, had all eventually disappeared. Wei Yuan's eyes flashed through the Moon Dew Reflection of the past, the Tian family's little daughter who gave food to the Li family woman, flashed through a face that was not as distorted as it was now.

The world is impermanent.

Wei Yuan sheathed his sword, sighed, and wanted to recite a Rebirth Mantra, but he didn't know the incantation, so he had to give up.

Zhou Yi looked up and saw a trace of sigh on Wei Yuan's face as he sheathed his sword.

It was as if he saw an acquaintance walking towards his demise.

Wei Yuan turned around and explained, "I once saw the story of this Bone Lady in the classics."

"The woman at the time was spared after begging for mercy, and over a dozen years, she committed many murders."

"As for the Tiger Lord's claim, how much credibility is there in the words of a demon?"

Zhou Yi and the young man nodded in response.

Then they sent Wei Yuan back to the museum. The rest didn't need Wei Yuan's help. When they parted, the young man respectfully bowed and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving my life just now."

It was the first time Wei Yuan had been called senior by someone, and he responded somewhat strangely.

Because he knew they still had things to do, he didn't invite them in for a sit.

Zhou Yi and the young man turned around and walked out.

"Why are you so... respectful to him?"

Zhou Yi's voice paused, finding a fitting description.

The young man was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you remember what the Bone Lady said?"

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "You actually believe it."

The young man sighed and said complicatedly, "I don't believe it either, but what the curator used was my Mount Longhu's Xuan Yuan Sword Art. In the mountain gate, only the illustrations remain for identification. The methods of circulating qi and exerting strength have already been lost, and it has been lost for a full one thousand two hundred years..."

One thousand two hundred years?!

Zhou Yi's expression froze. She subconsciously turned her head with the young man and looked at this ordinary museum.

For a moment, they were speechless.
