infodatos Chapter 53 [Danger Level: ★★★★★★]
Chapter 53 [Danger Level: ★★★★★★]
Lu Yuan stood in the center of the Seven Fiends' encirclement, his blue Taoist robe fluttering and rustling even without wind.
He extended his right hand from his wide sleeve, and three ancient coins floated in his palm.
The ancient coin rotates on its own, emitting a subtle and dense hum, and the mottled rust on its surface is peeling away, revealing a dark golden luster underneath.
The illness-causing evil spirit strikes first.
A thick, dark blue fog of plague, like ink bursting from a dam, swept towards Lu Yuan.
In the mist, countless tiny, distorted human faces appeared and disappeared, emitting silent, shrill screams that were nauseating to hear.
Lu Yuan made a "Plague-Averting Mantra" with his left hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together like a sword, and then slashed it in the air in front of him.
A "Shennong Plague-Expelling Talisman" appeared out of thin air!
The runes were not made of cinnabar, but were drawn with the pure yang energy gathered at his fingertips.
It left a burning golden trail in the pitch-black night.
The moment the talisman was completed, golden light surged forth!
A phantom of Shennong, three zhang tall, rose from the ground, with a human body and an ox's head, covered in green leaves, and holding an ochre-colored whip.
The phantom of Shennong remained expressionless, and with a single lash of his whip, he faced the surging plague fog!
The whip shadow falls.
"laugh--!"
The bluish-black epidemic fog, like snow doused with boiling oil, emitted a piercing evaporation sound and melted away frantically.
The distorted human-faced insect shadows in the fog let out mournful howls, struggling to turn into wisps of green smoke and completely dissipate into the world.
Just one glance.
One of the Seven Killings, the Illness Killing, will instantly eliminate you!
Such a domineering approach greatly boosted the confidence of Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan, who were standing nearby!
Brother Lu hasn't even used the Celestial Master's thunder magic yet!
He still easily took down a demon like that, he's too strong!!
This scene, however, did not surprise the hunchbacked old man and the withered woman.
After all, the failure of the two-legged sheep was thanks to this person.
Although they didn't know exactly what extraordinary means Lu Yuan had used that night, they had already considered him a major threat.
This person's level of attainment is probably infinitely close to that of a Celestial Master!
Now that I see it, it's indeed true!
With a single glance, the evil spirit was wiped away; this "Shennong Plague-Expelling Talisman" was drawn out of thin air.
It is something that no ordinary Taoist priest can master; there must be a very deep lineage of teachings behind it!
Just then, the Deathly Fiend seized the opportunity to attack!
A giant skeletal hand burst forth from the ground with a thunderous roar.
The tips of the five finger bones grew jet-black claws, which silently pierced Lu Yuan's back.
This claw strike contains the true meaning of "absolute death." Even if an ordinary cultivator is only scratched, their life force will be completely cut off within three breaths.
Lu Yuan didn't even turn his head.
He flicked his right hand back, and the three five-zhu coins in his palm shot out!
The three ancient coins froze in mid-air and spontaneously arranged themselves into a "Heaven, Earth, and Man" triad.
From the coin hole, three pale golden beams of light shot out, intertwining to form a net of light that precisely caught the giant skeletal hand within.
"Burying gold to suppress evil spirits, the three powers lock in the evil."
Lu Yuan muttered an incantation in a low voice, and his right hand suddenly clenched into a fist in the air!
Om-!
The three ancient coins trembled violently at the same time, producing a booming sound like that of ancient temple bells and tripods, powerful and profound.
The two characters "五铢" on the coin suddenly glowed with golden light, transforming into two talismans that were fiercely imprinted on the skeletal palm.
All of the bone hand's movements froze instantly.
The next moment, countless fine cracks appeared on its surface, starting from the fingertips and crumbling piece by piece.
In the end, it turned into a pile of pale bone dust, which fell down in a flurry.
Another encounter, deathly death, annihilation once more!
In less than half a minute, Lu Yuan eliminated two of the Seven Fiends!
This scene thrilled Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan!
Someone jumped up and down beside them, shouting:
"Brother Lu is awesome!!!"
The pupils of the two members of the Wang family who were about to die suddenly contracted.
They had thought Lu Yuan was strong, but they hadn't imagined he would be this strong, killing the evil spirits as easily as eating and drinking.
This eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy is so skilled and cunning that he doesn't seem like a young man at all!
This is not just about cultivation level.
More than anything, they are knowledgeable and well-informed.
Even from a single glance, one can analyze what type of evil spirit it is.
What type of ritual implement should be used, and what method should be used accordingly?
That's really impressive!
Of course……
Neither the Wang family, nor Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an could have imagined that...
Still playing the traditional ghost-catching game?
Lu Yuan almost burst out laughing as he watched another line of blood-red words rushing towards him.
[Type: Seven Fiends Ghost - Separation Fiend]
[Cultivation: Formed from the "Book of Evil Spirits," it has no cultivation level.]
[Weakness: The Five Elements cycle, and the negative influence of the Li element resolves itself.]
[Special Note: This technique does not harm the physical body when used offline, but it specifically targets and separates people and souls. Once it entangles you, within seven days, relatives and friends will be separated, masters and disciples will turn against each other, and spouses will become enemies.]
【Danger Level: ★★】
The answer is written all over their faces, how could they possibly lose?
Of course, to say that Lu Yuan relied entirely on the system would be to belittle him.
If it weren't for his meticulous daily practice, having memorized countless incantations and spells...
Even if the answer is right in front of you, you won't have time to react when facing the enemy in battle.
After all, some people still make mistakes when they take open-book exams in school, with the answers written on the blackboard.
The system only provided Lu Yuan with the problem-solving approach, not the answer.
At this moment, the evil influence has arrived.
Thousands of blood-red threads materialized out of thin air, like the entwined hair of lovers, or like a deadly spider web, spreading across the sky and covering the earth.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and a golden light suddenly shone from between his brows.
His soul was as stable as a mountain. No matter how the blood streaks eroded him, they melted away on their own, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, once they touched the area three feet around his body.
But he did not stop there.
With his left hand, he took out a palm-sized Bagua mirror from his bosom. The back of the mirror was engraved with the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the Big Dipper was inlaid along the edge of the mirror.
Lu Yuan bit his tongue, and a mouthful of pure Yang saliva, containing the purest Yang energy, was suddenly sprayed onto the mirror!
"The trigram Li represents fire, fire generates earth, earth controls water, water nourishes wood, and wood generates fire... As the five elements cycle, the negative influence of Li is resolved!"
The mirror instantly reflected the countless blood streaks, and then the scene in the mirror began to spin wildly.
In the mirror's world, blood vessels transform into raging flames, which burn mountains to scorched earth, scorched earth buries rivers and turns them into muddy water, muddy water nourishes trees and makes them towering, and the forests reignite as new fires...
The world in the mirror cycled nine times at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
In reality outside the mirror, the countless blood streaks also became thin and transparent, eventually disappearing completely into the air without a trace.
Break through another curse!
Speaking of which... these Seven Fiends are far too simple.
The system only gave it a four-star danger rating.
Lu Yuan knew that this rating was dynamically adjusted based on his own strength.
Now that I am a Celestial Master, this is my first battle after my promotion. The old star rating standards are no longer applicable and need to be recalibrated.
However, these Seven Fiends were too weak, so weak that they would be killed the moment they showed themselves, and could not be used as a valid reference point at all.
Is it because he became ridiculously powerful after becoming a Celestial Master?
There is indeed a saying in Taoism that being promoted to Celestial Master and mastering thunder magic is a qualitative change, like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.
But... I haven't even used my trump card, the lightning magic, yet.
That thing was meant to be saved for those two main targets, to deliver a fatal blow...
Just as Lu Yuan had this thought, the remaining three evil spirits—the Broken, the Crippled, and the Decayed—rushed at the same time.
Lu Yuan swayed and instantly created distance, preparing to defeat them one by one.
When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength and must never be careless!
However, just as he flashed out, ready to strike again, all his movements suddenly stopped.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and stood frozen in place.
Since when, the "Book of Evil Spirits" that the old woman had always held in her arms had begun to float above her and the hunchbacked old man's heads.
slam-la-
The pages flipped wildly on their own, so fast that they became a blurry black shadow.
Endless black energy surged out of the book, gathering, writhing, and condensing in mid-air into a gigantic ghostly figure three zhang tall!
The ghostly figure had no facial features, only a giant mouth that took up the entire "face".
The gigantic maw opened and closed repeatedly, filled with layers upon layers of sharp teeth, spewing out suffocating, foul, and malevolent energy.
In Lu Yuan's mind, the blood-red words refreshed wildly, eventually settling into a line of prompts that made his scalp tingle.
[Type: Super-powerful Demonic Ghost]
[Cultivation: Without cultivation, it is formed from the "Book of Evil Spirits"]
[Weakness: No weakness, but it will disappear on its own before dawn]
[Distance coalesces into its complete form: 00:03:15]
Danger Level: ★★★★★★
Lu Yuan: "????"
Ten...twelve stars?!
A super-powerful, fully-fledged evil spirit?!
