Chapter 219 Demons The night wind was bleak, blowing up bits of ashes and sparks. Yin Xiu stood in the wind, her face so cold that water dripped from her face.
Ma Xiaoyu stood beside him, his hands in his pockets, looking equally stern.
Fellow Taoist was stunned for a moment. After realizing that what Yin Xiu breathed out was Yang Qi, he immediately turned around and ran away.
But before running a few steps, a giant black hand burning with flames stretched out from the dark alley, grabbed the fellow Taoist, and dragged him into the dark alley.
Both Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu's expressions changed, and they looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
The evil ghost finally appears! Yin Xiu grabbed a piece of money in the air and caught it.
In the underworld, as long as something is burned in the underworld, the entity can be touched here.
He took off the paper and rolled it into the shape of a long knife.
When [Refining Falsehood into Reality] was activated, Ma Xiaoyu suddenly felt faint, and a steel knife appeared in front of her eyes.
"Really?"
"of course."
Yin Xiu handed the knife to her hand, and Ma Xiaoyu took the knife with hesitation, and her hand suddenly sank.
"Then what do you use?"
"I can do whatever I want!"
Yin Xiu waved his hands in the air, and he already had two submachine guns in his hands.
Ma Xiaoyu gave him a strange look, turned the knife in her hand, and then planned to follow him into the alley.
Yin Xiu was not in a hurry. After walking halfway, he suddenly stopped and waved to the red ghost who was still there in a daze, "Come here."
The fierce ghost was originally dumbfounded, but after Yin Xiu waved to him, the bloody and violent energy in his body exploded, and he rushed over with a long howl.
A smile appeared on Yin Xiu's lips. Before Ma Xiaoyu could take action, the submachine guns in his hands were raised and spitting out tongues of fire quickly.
Da da da! The fierce ghost's body was hit by a series of bullets and kept shaking. After a while, it was torn into pieces by the ferocious metal rain, and the entire body disappeared into smoke.
One thing about the underworld that does not conform to the laws of physics is that these bullets are not only free, but also do not need to be loaded. As long as you hold the trigger, you can continuously pour ammunition at the opponent.
And because the bullets are also made of dragon and tiger energy, they are as lethal to ghosts as if they were shot at a human body, or even more so.
Ma Xiaoyu was stunned, and then weighed the knife in his hand. He suddenly felt that this weapon was not novel at all, but rather unique.
"Give you a handful too?" Yin Xiu grinned.
Ma Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head like a rattle, "I can chop faster with a knife!"
"As long as you like it."
Yin Xiu nodded and walked into the alley with Ma Xiaoyu side by side.
In the dark alley, a withered old man with a black aura all over his body was standing there, chuckling and chewing one of the fellow Taoist's hands.
"Two Taoist priests, oh, that damn old woman Lan Po is almost acting like a ghost, and she still won't rest. If you ask two rookies who have just debuted for a few days to deal with me, you should at least call a heavenly master or a master to come over. "
Yin Xiu glanced at the old man and asked Ma Xiaoyu in a low voice: "Who is this old ghost talking about?"
Ma Xiaoyu glared at him, "Two, he meant the two of us."
Yin Xiu nodded, "Oh, it turns out it was the two of us."
He shook his head suddenly, and a pair of submachine guns in his hands were already pointed at the old man.
"I'm going to attack you! How dare you be so arrogant when you're about to die!"
"I've died once, but I'm still afraid of you!"
The old man screamed and rushed forward. What greeted him was a storm of metal jets.
The old man showed no fear and allowed the bullets to pass by his ears, hands and feet, and his head, causing sharp bursts of wind.
He was not at all shocked by these movements, and the rhythm of his feet became faster and faster. After only taking a few steps, the speed suddenly increased, bringing with it a string of afterimages.
When Ma Xiaoyu saw this, before Yin Xiu stopped firing, she had already crossed from the back to the front, stretched out the steel knife, and stabbed the old man in the face.
On the tip of the knife, purple air filled the air, and the cold light was dazzling!
The old man didn't care about bullets, but he was a little wary of the knife. He took a few steps back, turned around and kicked Ma Xiaoyu in the wrist.
"Good come!"
Ma Xiaoyu changed from stabbing to slashing, forcing the old man to spin again, rolling on the ground in embarrassment, dodging the sword that shot through the sun like a white rainbow.
As soon as he dodged, Yin Xiu moved up again like a shadow, pointed the gun at the old man, and almost put the muzzle of the gun into his face.
The old man let out a strange cry, and suddenly folded his upper body back, with his back almost touching his heels. With an almost impossible posture, he avoided this imminent murderous intention.
"Holy crap, this old man has practiced yoga!"
Even though she knew that things in the underworld could not be judged and understood by common sense, Yin Xiu still screamed in surprise.
She was surprised in words, but Yin Xiu's actions were not slow. He stretched out his foot, pressed down hard, and struck the old man's waist and abdomen with the sharpness of a battle ax.
Unexpectedly, the old man's body suddenly stuck to the ground like a piece of paper, and he used his hands and feet to move backwards like a teleport. Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu were stunned to see this.
Can you be so nonsensical and completely ignore the laws of physics if you become a ghost? Yin Xiu glanced at the guns in his hand and threw them aside. Against such an unpredictable monster, guns were really not as useful as long knives.
"Old man, you are quite capable."
When the old man heard this, he stood up from the ground again, straightened his waist, folded his hands, and stared at the two of them coldly.
"Don't talk like an old man, old ghost, I have a name! In the past, people in the world called me Iron Palm and Floating on the Water. Now, you can call me Li Gui."
Li Gui looked at the two of them, and the smile on his face couldn't stop spreading.
If he could capture the souls of the two Taoist priests at once and eat them up, he wouldn't have to waste time here.
When the time comes to develop a ghostly and immortal body, and can do anything in heaven or on earth, it can be regarded as entering the avenue of cultivation. Isn't it much better than eating these wandering ghosts here all day long? Thinking of this, he licked his lips, and the smile on his face became warmer.
"What do you think he is laughing at?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
"Does he think that we can't deal with him and he will definitely win?"
Hearing Yin Xiu say this, the smile on Ma Xiaoyu's face was even brighter than that of Li Gui, "He thinks too much, I can guarantee it."
"Okay, you have to promise that I will believe it." Yin Xiu held his hand in the air, and several pieces of paper money flying around gathered together, and in a few clicks, they were folded into a black handle in his hand. The sword's blade is covered with silver lines, and it is a long sword with flying dragons and phoenixes.
Seeing the strange look in Ma Xiaoyu's eyes, Yin Xiu smiled and said: "These days, whether you are killing people or killing ghosts, you have to have some tricks up your sleeve. It's quite trendy."
In order to show off his ability to make fake things come true in front of others, Yin Xiu spent his free time making origami, knives, guns, swords, submachine guns, and even paper airplanes. He could fold hundreds of them a day.
Adding a color to the sword, adding a pattern, etc. can only be said to be a little improvement after practice makes perfect, and it is easy.
"Well, I agree."
As soon as Ma Xiaoyu slapped his wrist, the sword flew up and fell into her hand, while Yin Xiu's hand turned into the long sword from before.
"..."
Yin Xiu was speechless, and Li Gui over there was speechless, but also a little irritated.
"You two pretend I don't exist and you're doing magic there!?"
He shouted loudly, his originally pale face quickly turned green, his red eyes stared outwards, and his belly, which was almost shriveled to the point of being inflated, suddenly bulged, like an inflated balloon.
Black air filled the air, and on the exposed arm, a pair of black bone blades came out of the body, forming a pair of axe-like weapons on the surface of the arm.
Ma Xiaoyu moved her shoulders and whispered to Yin Xiu: "That guy's movement skills are very weird. Either he learned tricks like bone shrinking skills before he was alive, or he has been dead for a long time and has become very good at controlling his soul. , whichever it is, it’s very tricky.”
Yin Xiu nodded, "It's very troublesome. There are legends in the world that people who practice bone shrinking skills can even change their appearance in the end. It is also very easy to transform from a child to an old woman. But I have never seen such a strange person."
"Then do you think he would have been that strange person during his lifetime?"
Yin Xiu grinned: "I don't know if he was alive or not, but he definitely has nothing to do with people now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gui rushed up. When he spread his arms, wind and thunder surged, as if carrying endless killing intent and resentment, making the two people in the spirit state feel frightened.
Whether it was driven away by the old woman before or mentally threatened by Li Gui now, these are all flaws of being in the soul state.
After all, the two of them are considered "new ghosts" to a certain extent, so it is expected that they are not resistant to these basic spells.
After reciting a mantra silently to calm their minds, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu stepped forward, forming formations on the left and right to fight Li Gui.
As Ma Xiaoyu said before, Li Gui may have been a ghost for too long.
Although his speed is very slow and his body is not very flexible, at every critical moment, his body twists and turns, sinking a little here and a little there, and he can easily avoid the sword attack.
While dodging the attack, the other end suddenly stretched out to counterattack, leaving the two of them exhausted to deal with it.
While they were fighting, Lan Po's anxious voice came from the void again.
"Stop fighting with him with fists, feet, swords, and magic. You two are Taoist priests!"
The old woman was at the edge of the altar, watching the battle here with a mirror immersed in a basin. She looked up at the time on the wall, and unknowingly it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
They spent three hours just looking for this evil spirit, and there was not much time left.
When Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu heard Lan Po's shouting, they immediately jumped back and prepared to cast a spell.
Although Li Gui didn't hear Lan Po's shouting, he knew something was wrong when he saw the two men stepping on their feet, and immediately caught up and continued to pester them.
Yin Xiu bit his finger. Although he was in a soul state, it was impossible to bleed, so skills such as Netherworld Blood Arrow could not be used.
But using essence and blood to smear a magic weapon is, to a certain extent, just a ritual of borrowing magic. Whether or not there is physical blood does not matter.
Therefore, after he wiped it on the knife, the knife still emitted a frightening golden light, which stung Li Gui's eyes.
Li Gui's steps were slightly delayed, and Ma Xiaoyu was already ready.
"Pro, soldier, fight, person, all, formation, row, in front, punish evil!"
As Ma Xiaoyu held up his hands like lotus flowers, a fire dragon roared over Yin Xiu's head, roaring and flying straight towards Li Gui.
Li Gui saw the fire dragon flying towards him. His scalp, which was already hairless, was numb, with wavy wrinkles visible to the naked eye, and pores suddenly appeared.
He left Yin Xiu behind, fled far away, and jumped out more than ten meters in one go, bringing with him a series of afterimages, obviously very fast.
But how could Yin Xiu let him go? After turning the handle of the knife upside down in his hand, he raised his shoulder and flicked his wrist. The long knife followed a stable trajectory, spinning and piercing into Li Gui's shoulder. Li Gui's figure tilted and he almost fell to the ground.
The fire dragon finally caught up and bumped into Li Gui's back. A dazzling fireball immediately rose up in the alley, "lighting up" the night sky.
Yin Xiu was pushed back a few meters by the scorching air wave and stood next to Ma Xiaoyu.
Looking at the fireball, Yin Xiu sighed. Regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost, if it was hit from the front, it would be fatal. The Ma family's exorcism was so terrifying.
The two stared at the fire until it died down.
Li Gui was indeed dead, but something even weirder happened.
On the "corpse" that had turned into charcoal, seven groups of black shadows emerged from it one after another, turning into vague ghosts.
At the same time, in the underworld of Tilanqiao, which was originally silent, bursts of shrill howls suddenly sounded, and all the ghosts cried together.
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu felt something in their hearts and looked at both sides of the alley.
At the two ends, many hazy shadows suddenly appeared, some emitting white energy, some emitting red energy, and some ghosts with a little black energy.
They crowded both ends of the alley, and they seemed to want to get closer to the two of them, but they hesitated with some worries.
And those seven black figures, after looking at each other and the two of them, quickly turned into black light, flew everywhere, and disappeared.
Yin Xiu didn't know what those seven black figures were, but he and Ma Xiaoyu both knew that something was serious.
Sure enough, before Ma Xiaoyu could speak, Lan Po's voice came from behind them again.
This time, the old man's voice was filled with worry and trembling.
"Why didn't I think of that? How could such a ferocious ghost be a mortal body? It turns out that guy is a combination of seven evil spirits, seven souls in one body, and seven souls in one body!"
Yin Xiu frowned and glanced at Ma Xiaoyu, who also looked solemn. He asked Lan Po, "What are the Seven Evils?"
Lan Po did not answer his question, but urged: "You guys leave quickly! Now all the wandering ghosts in Tilanqiao are attracted to you. If you don't leave, they will be eaten to pieces!"
Hearing this, Yin Xiu looked to the side.
I saw those ghosts who were still hesitant at first, but they all came closer at some point, their eyes full of greedy light.
