Chapter 40: Warriors slay demons, temples suppress evil On Niujiao Mountain, the stars and the moon are both bright. Lin Yan looked quietly at the broken banner under his feet with a complicated expression. The situation is so bad! The situation is so critical! The scene is weird and scary! Everyone has despaired and is in a desperate situation! Then it is worth 46 wisps of evil spirit? “It’s worthless.” Lin Yan sheathed his sword and sighed inwardly, "It's just like a bear monster." But he also understood that this evil spirit was not actually too powerful. I just don’t know why, but the method of being fearless against Liu Zun Temple seems so strange and terrifying. But for Lin Yan, killing this evil spirit was much easier than killing the bear monster head-on last night. Of course, he knew that he was an exception. If it were any other martial artist in the Refining Essence Realm, they would rather face the bear monster than face this kind of evil spirit.
Because the bear demon has a physical body, but the evil spirit has no form. Warriors often lack the means to deal with evil spirits. "If I didn't have the magical power to suppress demons, I would have to consume my heart blood and draw it out with the tip of my tongue to restrain the evil spirits." Lin Yan thought to himself: "Afterwards, even if you are at the Refining Essence Realm, your vitality will be damaged." If a martial artist at the Essence Refining Stage repeatedly uses his own essence and blood to deal with evil spirits, it will inevitably lead to deficiency of Qi and blood, and damage the foundation. This will affect the practice of martial arts. More seriously, it will cut off one's own future and destroy one's hope on the path of martial arts. In the long run, this is a way to shorten your lifespan. If you use this method often, you will not live a long life. "Therefore, even in the eyes of martial artists at the Refining Essence Realm, evil spirits are still extremely terrifying." Lin Yan thought so and looked forward. A hundred steps ahead, all the night watchmen had already fallen down and fainted. Meng Lu was the only city defense soldier who remained conscious, but he looked confused. All the temple messengers were in a daze, except Mr. Jing, who was still conscious, but he was also stunned and his eyes were a little dazed. "..." Lin Yan walked slowly over, and his eyes fell on the unconscious people. Seeing this, Meng Lu reacted immediately. He quickly pulled at the corner of Mr. Jing's clothes and pointed at the ground. "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, they were just pulled a little..." Mr. Jing quickly explained: "If the soul is pulled out of the body in a few moments, it will be very troublesome...but if it is not pulled out, it is not a big problem." He hesitated, then said, "At most, they will be drowsy and depressed for a few days, but they have all practiced martial arts and are stronger than ordinary people. If they eat more, they will recover in three to five days."
"Ah." Lin Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "Thanks to you today, I was able to subdue the evil spirit." "what?" Mr. Jing waved his hands and said, "It was all Master Wu's credit that the evil spirit was subdued. How dare I take credit for it?" He quickly added: "This time, I didn't pose any threat to the evil spirits. Instead, I helped to abet the evil spirits and almost killed you all. It was all thanks to Master Wu who saved us..." As he said this, he vaguely felt that the words of the new flag-bearer of Linjiang Division just now seemed like sarcasm. Then he couldn't help but lower his head, his face full of shame. But before Lin Yan could speak again, Captain Meng Lu next to him had already seen the clue. "Who do you think should solve tonight's incident?" "Ok?" Lin Yan looked at this person deeply, quite surprised. At this moment, Meng Lu also vaguely understood it in his heart. The initial rumors from the outside world were that the new flag bearer of Linjiang Division was at the second level of martial arts and had not even reached the peak. After the battle last night, those who knew the inside story all concluded that this Fifth Master had secretly cultivated to the level of inner strength. By this evening, Meng Lu had understood in his heart that this was a real big shot! The existence of the realm of refining essence! Such a strong man is willing to lie dormant in Linjiangfang and serve as a flag bearer. If one intentionally hides his cultivation, he must have a bigger plan. That's why Meng Lu asked this question. "As far as we know, all the evil spirits in the world are afraid of the might of Lord Liu!" “Tonight, such a shocking evil spirit appeared. Instead of being afraid, I borrowed the divine power of Lord Liu to grow!” "This is a major event that involves the safety of the entire city. Mr. Jing will definitely not dare to conceal the report." Meng Lu's mind turned, and he whispered, "The magic that Mr. Jing learned in the temple since he was a child is completely useless today... It is really not suitable for him to be the one who "breaks the situation" tonight." He noticed that the Fifth Master looked at him with an increasingly strange gaze, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "My cultivation is low, and I am not yet strong enough, so I am even less suitable." "Then who do you think is more suitable?" Lin Yan asked. "Last night, a man appeared in Gaoliu City and killed the bear monster. He has the cultivation level of the Refining Essence Realm. Why don't we... let this man save us?" "can." Lin Yan felt a little helpless. After going around in circles, he had to save himself. But this is indeed an excellent "candidate".
After the matter was finalized, the atmosphere fell into silence again. The others haven't woken up yet. The three people present were all silent. After a long time, Lin Yan finally spoke: "Gao Liu City, founded two Jiazi years ago, has always been... warriors slay demons, and temples suppress evil." "Logically speaking, there can't be such evil in this world." Mr. Jing slowly raised his head, looking dazed. Everything he had learned since childhood became completely useless overnight, and all his knowledge of "divine laws" and "evil spirits" seemed to have been completely destroyed. At this moment, there was only endless confusion in his eyes. "He is not so powerful that he can compete with Liu Zun. Even before I used the divine banner, he was just an ordinary weak wandering monster." "He is not even strong enough to pose a threat to slightly stronger warriors." "But why is he not afraid of Liu Zun and can even eat Liu Zun's divinity?" "If there are evil spirits like this in the dark night, then the temple is useless, right?" "Then wouldn't Liu Zun's deterrence be equivalent to nothing?" "Then Gao Liu City should have been destroyed long ago." Mr. Jing murmured softly, looked at his hands tremblingly, raised his head, his eyes somewhat empty. There was silence for a moment. An extremely heavy atmosphere seemed to be weighing on the hearts of the three people. After a while, Lin Yan slowly spoke: "As you said, if the evil spirits in the darkness were not afraid of Liu Zun, then the entire Gaoliu City would have long been reduced to a purgatory filled with evil spirits!" "Mr. Jing has been studying law since he was young, and Captain Meng has been guarding the city for many years." "Tonight is the first time you have seen such a strange evil spirit." "This may prove that this kind of 'weird evil' is extremely rare." After a pause, Lin Yan said solemnly: "But no matter whether it is rare or not, the appearance of such an evil spirit is a huge threat to the safety and survival of Gaoliu City!" "Once this kind of 'weird and evil' method of creation is mastered by some people with ulterior motives, then in the future... there will be endless disasters!" Following Lin Yan's voice, both Captain Meng Lu and Mr. Jing couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. "I will report the truth to the temple!" Mr. Jing spoke in a serious tone, paused, and said again: "I will report it to the First Temple Priest personally!" (End of this chapter)
