Chapter 17: Alone, the night is unpredictable With a whoosh! The crossbow arrow shot into the sky. Immediately, an owl fell from the sky, with an arrow stuck in its body and blood flowing. This is a bird that has become a spirit and has awakened its intelligence. Although it is also a demon creature, this smaller demon bird is obviously very different from the demon tiger and beast. It can be shot down with just a crossbow arrow covered with incense ash from the Liuzun Temple. Lin Yan suddenly swung his long sword! The magical power to suppress demons! The evil spirit breaks out! His sword seemed to miss, but the ripples it created completely shattered the invisible and intangible evil spirit in front of him, which then disappeared into thin air. "For ordinary warriors, this formless wandering evil spirit can harm their minds and is extremely terrifying." "But for me, it's so easy to kill. It's much easier than killing a beginner warrior." Lin Yan's heart sank slightly.

This wandering evil spirit brought him three wisps of evil spirits. It is equivalent to killing a warrior who has reached the fourth level of "skin, flesh, tendons and bones". Perhaps for many warriors at the inner strength realm, they would rather face an equally strong warrior than face a wandering evil spirit. But to Lin Yan, a wandering monster was a gift for nothing, just like stepping on an ant! It was a feast! Moreover, not many people on the city wall paid attention to him. Therefore, he appropriately released some traces of the Breath-Containing Technique, revealing an aura that was equivalent to "Marrow Cleansing". The Qi at this level is far superior to that of ordinary warriors, and its attraction to demons and evil spirits is greatly enhanced. But it is far from enough to deter evil spirits. Therefore, he is like lighting himself into a lamp! The endless evil in the darkness is like moths to a flame! He stood here, guarding the 360-step city wall. In fact, all the evil spirits gathered within ten feet around him! As he was thinking this, he saw a little demon climbing up the city wall a hundred steps away. The light from the night lamp on the willow branches frightened it and it slowed down. However, the incense burning at the altar in the inner city and the blood and energy of the many human beings so close at hand made it feel extremely eager. The flames of the incense and candles made it feel blazingly hot. So, it struggled vaguely, but still gritted its teeth, broke through the area covered by lights, and went straight into the city. But suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air! An arrow comes! But it did not penetrate his body! This arrow pierced through three ash bags! The incense ash suddenly scattered, full of dust, and fell on the body of the little demon. In an instant, screams and roars were heard. As the little demon rolled over, he felt extremely miserable. He unexpectedly discovered that not far away, there was another little demon, whose figure was also covered by incense ash. Further away, two evil spirits were scattered by the incense ash and could not be reunited. This arrow seriously injured two wandering ghosts and monsters.

Wait for this little demon to recover. When he opened his eyes again, the knife was already approaching. The evil spirit increases by ten! Lin Yan was very satisfied. He glanced at it and thought to himself, "Three hundred and sixty steps, even with my physique at the Refining Essence Realm, running back and forth would inevitably be too tiring." "Just now, I used myself as bait to lure the evil spirits to attack. This is a relatively labor-saving method!" "But I seem to have killed too cruelly?" "To be precise, it should be that the power of the demon-suppressing magic is too overbearing and powerful..." Even ants try to survive, but the demons in the darkness have begun to feel frightened after being killed indiscriminately by him. So gradually, some relatively "intelligent" demons bypassed him from a hundred steps away and tried to cross the city wall. However, Lin Yan had expected this. Since he had already demonstrated his prowess in the previous battle, his skill of cutting paper into horses should come in handy now. "This is an ominous sign of trampling on the rules of darkness. I want to see tonight how terrible it is!" Words suddenly appeared in Lin Yan's mind. Name: Lin Yan. Kung Fu: Five Elements Internal Breathing Technique. Cultivation: Refining Essence Realm (1/3650) + Magical power 1: Eat evil! Supernatural Power 2: Demon Suppression! The technique is as follows: Thunder Blade Level 100 (100/) Paper-cut horse (30/100) + Disguise (67/100) + Breathing Technique (31/100) + Evil spirit: 92 strands. "I killed the evil spirits tonight, and the evil spirit has increased a lot, so I'll add all of it." Lin Yan used up seventy strands of evil spirit and pushed his ability of cutting paper into horses to the limit. Paper-cut horse (100/100) In an instant, countless images emerged in his mind. In an instant, a blessing came to his mind, he waved his hand, and the wind blew. The paper under his feet suddenly turned into a human figure. His face was exactly the same as the face of "Impermanence" that he had transformed into at this moment. They are of similar stature and hold a paper knife. Then Lin Yan bit his fingertips and snapped his fingers. The blood fell, and it was as if the Qi and blood were rising. In an instant, the Qi of this paper man was exactly the same as his own, and it was actually difficult to tell them apart. He pulled back and walked to the left.

Originally, he had placed these specially made papers under the willow branch night lamp. Just wait to kill the evil spirits, and when the evil spirit is sufficient, raise the art of cutting paper into horses to the peak, and then transform them into human forms one by one. Wherever he passed, one "Impermanence" after another appeared in the darkness, with strong energy and blood. Under the night light, the willow branches shine, and ordinary evil spirits are hard to be looked at directly. It was as if there were twelve people guarding these three hundred and sixty steps together. - A faint light emerges in the darkness. "Grandpa, it's the man from yesterday. He is not dead." "But it will be soon. By trampling on the rules of darkness, he has brought disaster upon himself." The old voice was filled with sighs. "What is the ominousness of darkness?" The childish voice sounded very puzzled. "I don't know." The old voice said slowly, "But 'Lonely Boat Strange Mist' is very disgusted with him. Perhaps he realized that this man is not strong. It's just that the evil spirit that suddenly burst out from him last night broke the form of 'Strange Mist'..." "What will happen then?" asked the childish voice. "The Lone Boat in the Strange Fog is a complex and huge strange existence." The old voice hesitated and said, "There seems to be a fierce struggle in the strange fog. One part of it wants to accept the incense of Gaoliu City, and the other part wants to eat this person..." "In other words, Guzhou Guiwu actually placed this person on a level that is almost equal to the 'huge incense' of Gaoliu City?" The childish voice couldn't help but exclaim, "He's so heavy, but he's clearly not powerful." Sensing the energy on the city wall, it is probably the second level of human martial arts. To demons and evil spirits, warriors who have undergone blood refining and marrow cleansing are the most delicious, far superior to ordinary people. But for demons and evil spirits, warriors at this level do not possess overly powerful abilities and are just "prey" that they can hunt and kill. If it were a warrior at the inner strength level, then this "prey" would pose a certain threat to the demons! As for the Essence Refining Realm, the blood food is naturally more delicious. However, when one reaches the stage of refining essence, one already possesses the ability to fight against evil spirits and is no longer a prey. Even qualified to be a "hunter"! "No, he's weaker than last night." The old voice said in surprise: "Could it be that he has restrained his energy and used his own flesh and blood to lure the little demon?" "How could an ordinary warrior's Breath-Retaining Technique be hidden from an old man like me?" "It's weird..." The old voice was amazed and added: "But he was too ruthless. These little guys are scared... They have started to avoid him." Hearing this, the childish voice couldn't help but say, "So his method of using himself as bait has failed? This is a 360-step city wall. Even if he is just asked to run back and forth, won't he be exhausted to death?"

But before its grandfather could respond, it exclaimed, "Grandpa, look! He has become twelve people!" The light of the willow branches shining in the night, the flames of the incense and candles in the Willow Temple, and the incense ashes floating in the night sky. The demon's sight cannot be fully seen clearly. Suddenly, twelve people appeared on the city wall. They looked exactly the same. I don’t know which one is true, and I don’t know which one is false. There was a night breeze blowing, and the ghost quietly passed by along the edge. Suddenly, the knife flashed! The haunted creature disappeared into thin air. But at this moment, three hundred steps away, a deer monster jumped up and was about to cross the city wall. But the knife flashed as well, cutting it into dust! At the same time, a crossbow arrow pierced the night sky and hit the nightingale in the distance. "what?" The childish voice seemed quite shocked: "Could it be that all these twelve are him?" "No! He killed the wandering monster at the same time, and at an extremely fast speed, he crossed 300 steps and killed the deer monster!" The old voice seemed quite appreciative, saying: "At the same time, the crossbow arrows were fired!" "So powerful?" a childish voice sounded. "It's more powerful than I imagined." The old voice responded. "How powerful?" "The wild deer in the mountains are quite large. After becoming spirits, they can be as powerful as strong warriors." "Ah?" The childish voice asked in surprise, "So, just now he ran 300 steps in the blink of an eye and killed the deer demon that was comparable to a strong warrior with one sword?" "Yes, this person is much stronger than expected." "Fortunately, I was timid and did not sneak into the city to steal the incense, otherwise I would have been hacked to death by him." "Silly child, the incense offerings at the altar in Gaoliu City have been divided into twelve portions." The old voice laughed and said, "Grandpa's share is among them. Do you really need to steal it?" (End of this chapter)
