Chapter 52 Slaying Pudu Cihang

Xu Xian practiced three techniques: the Yin-Yang Intercourse Method, the Green Wood Rebirth Technique, and the Nourishing Pillow Formula.

Although it cannot be considered orthodox or esoteric, it is not unorthodox or heretical either.

He was naturally not afraid of black dog blood, rooster blood, or a peach wood staff struck by lightning.

Holding a peachwood staff, Xu Xian strode straight toward the Path of Supreme Yang.

Everyone watching, including the Prefect of Luoning, held their breath in their throats.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Nothing unusual happened.

Seeing this, the crowd began to whisper among themselves again.

"Master Xu has already embarked on the path to ultimate Yang, and he seems calm and collected."

"Could it be that Master Xu isn't a demon or evil spirit?"

"If that's the case, then Venerable Pudu Cihang..."

Pudu Cihang closed his eyes, bowed, and chanted Amitabha Buddha, seemingly unconcerned.

But in reality, he was already casting a spell in secret.

As Pudu Cihang chanted the incantation, two slender red centipedes suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

Pudu Cihang silently said "Go," and the two centipedes flew towards Xu Xian!

These two centipedes are the essence of Pudu Cihang's magic power, enough to poison a level 31 guardian.

However, at this time, Pudu Cihang's purpose was not to poison Xu Xian, but to make the centipede trigger the abnormality of the path to ultimate yang.

Any abnormality would naturally confirm Xu Xian's identity as a demon.

At that time, the incense offerings and prayers of those around him will naturally converge on Pudu Cihang, greatly increasing his power.

Pudu Cihang can then take the opportunity to suppress Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen!

Kill two birds with one stone!

The compassionate monk chanted Amitabha Buddha's name, quietly waiting for the black centipede to accomplish its task.

The ordinary people around could not see anything unusual.

Bai Suzhen had naturally discovered Pudu Cihang's little scheme long ago.

She gave a cold laugh and exhaled a breath of immortal energy.

puff!

The two red centipedes fell to the ground and scattered in the wind.

"you?!"

While Pudu Cihang was still furious, Xu Xian had already passed through the Path of Ultimate Yang.

He returned the locust wood staff to the yamen runner, and then gestured for Pudu Cihang to enter.

"Amitabha, you demon are indeed very powerful."

Pudu Cihang uttered "Amitabha," and, also holding a peach wood staff, stepped forward.

Under the midday sun, the black dog blood and rooster blood became extremely glaring.

Despite his inner discomfort, Pudu Cihang embarked on the path to ultimate yang.

The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"There is still nothing unusual. It seems that Venerable Pudu Cihang is indeed a compassionate and merciful Dharma Master."

"I knew it! How could the Venerable One of Compassion and Salvation be a monster?"

"That half-immortal Xu seems rather frivolous, not like a good person."

......

Pudu Temple had been operating in Luoning City for a long time.

Compared to Xu Xian, people are actually more willing to believe in Pudu Cihang.

Xu Xian squinted at Pudu Cihang's feet and sneered, "Trying to pull such a sly trick?"

Pudu Cihang used his magic to lift the rooster's blood from beneath his feet, keeping it floating so that it did not actually touch the rooster's blood.

Xu Xian picked up his whisk and flicked it lightly, muttering incantations.

Before long, the blood on the Path of Supreme Yang began to boil.

Droplets of blood bloomed and splattered onto the robes of Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang's body trembled suddenly, and his cassock swelled up like a balloon!

"W-What's going on?"

"Venerable Master of Universal Salvation, what exactly are you...?"

"This is abnormal! This is abnormal!"

Pudu Cihang bit his tongue hard, focusing his mind and forcibly suppressing his abnormal state.

Xu Xian naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass him by.

Regardless of whether Pudu Cihang can suppress the anomaly, I will use some illusions to make Pudu Cihang's demonic aura soar into the sky.

Since everyone around is just an ordinary person, it's impossible to tell them apart.

Thinking of this, Xu Xian lightly flicked his whisk, and a wisp of mysterious magic power drifted toward Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang wanted to stop it, but was suppressed by Bai Suzhen and was unable to use any magic or supernatural powers.

Xu Xian sneered, "Demon, why don't you reveal your true form at once?"

At the same time, countless purplish-black auras suddenly rose from beneath Pudu Cihang's feet.

The image of Pudu Cihang is made to resemble a celestial demon.

Within the aura, one could vaguely sense a large centipede writhing, seemingly intent on devouring someone.

The terrifying scene immediately instilled fear in the surrounding people.

Even though it was the height of summer, the lingering heat of late summer still made them feel icy cold all over.

The people were trembling and unable to move for a moment.

The Prefect of Luoning was also startled.

However, the prefect was, after all, the chief official in charge of a region, and he was indeed quite skilled at cultivating his composure.

He quickly approached Xu Xian, pointed at the centipede phantom in the shadows, and asked, "Master, what... what is going on here?"

Xu Xian laughed and said, "Pudu Cihang is a thousand-year-old centipede spirit who wants to absorb your good fortune and luck!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people immediately awoke.

They could no longer care about their fear and fled the place, shouting incessantly.

"Disaster! Disaster!"

"Pudu Cihang is a thousand-year-old centipede demon who came to Luoning City to drain our wealth and lifespan!"

Ordinary mortals don't understand what incense offerings and vows mean.

For them, the most important things are naturally wealth and longevity.

Xu Xian wanted to correct it, but suddenly discovered that the effects of "wealth and lifespan" were surprisingly good.

When ordinary people heard this, they were all in an uproar.

They scattered and fled, spreading the news at a rather strange speed.

Bai Suzhen looked at Pudu Cihang in the black mist and transmitted her voice to Xu Xian: "The incense and vow power on the demon monk's body are decreasing rapidly. We can kill him now."

Xu Xian nodded and said to the Prefect of Luoning, "Please arrange for the evacuation of ordinary mortals, my lord. I need to subdue the demon!"

"good!"

The prefect immediately ordered his constables to set off and drive away the mortals who remained there, while also setting up a perimeter to prevent anyone from entering the area.

On the path to ultimate yang, Pudu Cihang sensed the abnormality in his body and knew that the mortals around him had confirmed his demonic nature.

His plan to go to the capital and become the imperial advisor was completely thwarted.

Pudu Cihang was enraged, and an extremely angry voice came from the black mist: "You have ruined my future, I will make you pay! Even if I devour your flesh and blood, I can still break through the centipede's shackles!"

As they spoke, the black mist instantly dissipated, and a centipede a hundred meters long shot into the sky.

Upon seeing this, the Prefect of Luoning did not retreat. Instead, he directed his constables to split up and evacuate the nearby residents.

As expected of a local official, he truly has the courage and determination!

The constables acted swiftly, driving ordinary people away from the area.

Ordinary people also saw the appearance of Pudu Cihang.

Urged on by the constables, they all fled.

Pudu Cihang revealed his true form, coldly staring at Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen: "You two have ruined my plans, so then..."

Before he could finish speaking, a green light shot out!

brush!

The centipede's body, which was hundreds of meters long, was actually cut in half!

"Wife, don't cut horizontally! That way he'll have a chance to destroy his own demon core! You should cut vertically!"

"knew!"

Bai Suzhen, wielding a purple-grade sword, launched another attack.

The sword energy meandered, severing Pudu Cihang vertically once again!

boom!

Pudu Cihang's body crashed to the ground, kicking up countless dust and pebbles.

Xu Xian then leaped up, channeling all his magical power into the Realgar White Sword, and thrust it forcefully towards Pudu Cihang's brow.

puff!

The life force of the Compassionate Salvation Sect was lost, and it perished!
