It's approaching evening.

The sky is getting darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun is falling among the snowy sky.

Pass through crowded, sloping houses.

Finally, it landed in the square outside Zhongkui Temple, reflecting the special ground material.

The elders responsible for guarding this place are obviously pessimistic about whether Yan Jing and Bai Ruosu can succeed.

Even with Hades' instructions, his face was still full of worry.

"Please ask the elders for advice on the Tengu's abilities and the specific methods of sealing."

Without rushing in, Bai Ruosu looked at the closed door of Zhongkui Temple in front of her and spoke sincerely.

The people who can be stationed here are very likely to have participated in the operation of sealing the Taiyin Corpse Dismemberment and Metamorphosis Crucible, and their experience may play a key role in the subsequent operations.

It was not convenient for Yan Jing to speak, so she had to step forward to understand.

"The Tengu transformed from the Taiyin Corpse's metamorphosis is the best at raiding. It has the ability to continuously travel through space in a short period of time, but its ability must meet certain conditions to activate it."

Although he didn't think the two could succeed, the elder still truthfully relayed the information he knew.

"After the Tengu crosses space, it will definitely choose an angled position when it reappears... You should have noticed that the layout around Zhongkui Temple is very special, in order to prevent it from this ability."

The sloping house faces the Zhongkui Temple with its smooth side, as well as the special materials used to lay the square floor. It is obvious that these are all arrangements made in advance to block the Tengu who may escape from the seal.

"After our transformation of the temple structure, there are not many places where the Tengu can appear, and when it appears it will be accompanied by light blue smoke, which is key information to determine its location."

"And the most important point is that with the current methods, the Tengu cannot be completely killed, because it is just the incarnation of the Taiyin corpse's transformation, and its body is the energy left behind by the extraterrestrial demon. If the demon does not die, it will not die either.

If it is destroyed, it can only be sealed reluctantly."

Many years have passed since the action of sealing the Tengu, but the elder's memory is extremely profound.

Every piece of information he tells now is the answer that Sanfa Division gave in exchange for his life.

"What are the functions of these two bronze mirrors?"

Although the elder said that you can get the energy in the bronze mirror by entering Zhongkui Temple, Bai Ruosu still wanted to be prepared in advance.

"The bronze mirror was a gift from the underworld. I didn't know... Well, I guess that what is stored in it should be the underworld's Yin generals, the power of black and white and impermanence. These two gods specialize in capturing souls.

If you want to take the Tengu away, you can only resort to magical means."

If you want to take away the Taiyin Corpse Transformation Barrier, the first thing you have to do is to break the original seal. In the eyes of the elders, the only thing that can effectively suppress the former is the ability of black and white impermanence.

Everything that needs to be known has been learned, and the two of them have no intention of continuing to hang around outside.

Bai Ruosu bowed and said goodbye to the elder, and led Yan Jing straight to the gate of Zhongkui Temple.

"Remember, the seal will be lifted after three bells. We can only give you two half an hour. If we cannot seal the liberated Tengu within this time, then we can only choose to seal the entire Zhongkui Temple and turn it into a new one.

The cage!"

The elders withdrew to the center of the square, and Hades believers appeared one after another at the entrances of the surrounding lanes, each heading to the surrounding magic circle nodes.

The seal against Tengu has never been limited to Zhongkui Temple.

In fact, the entire temple and surrounding buildings are part of the seal, or a backup means.

Half an hour is already the limit of time they can give.

If Yan Jing and Bai Ruosu fail, they will never allow the Tengu to take this opportunity to escape and continue to cause harm to the world.

The two of them were mentally prepared for this.

Bai Ruosu looked back, turned around and pushed open the door, while Yan Jing stepped in without even looking back.

Pass~

The temple door closed again behind the two people.

A light suddenly brightened in front, showing the situation in the main hall before their eyes.

Before Yan Jing had time to look around, he felt spiritual energy surging from the bronze mirror in his hand.

Looking down, he saw several streams of light blue light pouring out from the mirror, all pouring into Yan Jing's eyes.

Suddenly, strange knowledge came to mind. No wonder the elder said that after entering the door, he would know the use of the bronze mirror.

The two looked at each other and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes. There is no doubt about the efficiency of Hades. Even though it had only been a few minutes since he got the bronze mirror, Yan Jing already understood how to use it.

Before the bell rings.

Yan Jing's eyes wandered around, and only then did he realize that there was not even a statue of Zhong Kui in the Zhong Kui Temple. The main hall was empty, not to mention statues of gods, regular objects such as incense burners, and even pillars.

....

No, there is still something.

In the central area of ​​the main hall, there stand three strange-shaped pillars about three meters high. They look like multiple cubes and rectangles superimposed on top of each other, and they are also staggered stacks of squares of different sizes.

This results in a large number of "angles" on the pillars, which look like areas deliberately prepared for Tengu to appear.

What's more important is that below the pillar is the core of the sealing circle. You can clearly see complex inscriptions scattered throughout it, and there are relief paintings of many Yin generals in the outer circle.

"Look up there."

Bai Ruosu seemed to have discovered something and raised her hand to point to the dome.

Looking up in the direction of her finger, you can see that the dome structure of the main hall is completely different from what it looks like from the outside. It is actually a semicircular dome, with a full-length portrait of Zhong Kui painted in the center.

Wearing a bright red official robe, he has a tall build, a leopard head with ringed eyes, and an iron face and sharp temples. He holds a sword in his right hand, and holds the sword fingers in his left hand. He is facing the sealing circle underneath, as if he is about to rush over in the next second.

"It seems that Sanfa Si spent a lot of effort to seal this Tengu."

Yan Jing looked at the layout of the main hall and became more and more sure that the weird designs on all sides were aimed at the Tengu. He paused and said,

"You will stay near the temple gate later to provide support. Once the time is right, I will give you the signal to take action."

Although they are acting together, Bai Ruosu's current state is obviously not suitable for facing the Tengu directly.

Even with the help of the soul warrior contract, she could temporarily use Yan Jing's two abilities, but it was still not enough to make up for the gap in combat power.

Moreover, Yan Jing also needs her identity to assist in operations.

If Bai Ruosu gets injured while sealing the Tengu and loses the ability to move, Yan Jing will still have a headache.

This was not the time to be pretentious. Bai Ruosu, who knew the level of her own combat power, quickly retreated to the main hall door and placed her back against the door panel to ensure that the Tengu would not appear from behind her later.

Stepping into the core area of ​​the sealing array, Yan Jing thought about what method he should use to deal with the Tengu later, his eyes flashed with colored light one after another, [Dongxu] and [Chongtong] were opened one after another, he raised his hand to hold it empty, and took the Shuofeng Sword.

The Taiqing treasure urn was suspended beside him, and several talismans flew out, suspended in the surrounding area, and surrounded the sealing formation.

He and Bai Ruosu were the only two people in the main hall, and Yan Jing was not afraid of his own methods being exposed.

As a messenger from Hades, it is normal to have some special abilities.

Dang~dang~dang~

Three bells ring, and the sealing formation is about to be lifted.

Yan Jing didn't look at his feet. He only heard the sound of mechanical operations in the empty main hall. The flow of spiritual energy changed, and the sealing energy at the nodes in the array turned into light red light spots and spilled outward.

Bai Ruosu, who was leaning behind the door, drew out her long sword, held a bronze mirror in her left hand, and observed her surroundings with concentration.

Hiss~gu~

Suddenly, a low hissing sound began to come from the darkness in the palace.

A smell somewhat similar to gunpowder smoke began to fill the air. Bai Ruosu stared nervously at the direction of the sound. This was the first time she faced a monster born from an extraterrestrial demon, and her throat felt a little dry.

, the palm holding the hilt of the sword continued to tighten until the joints turned white.

"smoke!"

Just a dozen meters away, at the connection between the wall and the ground, a large cloud of mist filled with blue-gray particulate matter suddenly surged out. Bai Ruosu, who was highly concentrated, subconsciously shouted a reminder.

According to the elders, this is a sign of the appearance of the Tengu.

Yan Jing noticed the fog immediately, but he could see it more clearly than Bai Ruosu.

Deep in the mist, an extremely weird-looking head was taking shape.

Its head is spindle-shaped, and this is the only concept that Yan Jing can distinguish.

Said to be a Tengu, the monster that appeared at this time barely had the shape of a dog. It was about the same size as an adult bull, but every inch of its skin seemed to be made of irregular pieces of meat, constantly twisting and changing.

.

It depicts the most vicious existence that humans can only imagine in nightmares.

Yan Jing couldn't find the location of its eyeballs, but he could clearly feel that he had been locked.

The tengu, who had been sealed away for many years, subconsciously searched for the most delicious prey.

Several forelimbs or claws covered with tentacles stepped on the ground, and a dark blue tongue protruded from the long and flat mouthparts. Its back half was still stuck to the corner with a puddle of mud.

The mist surged as it moved, and those blue-gray particles adhered to the surface of the Tengu's body, reaching out to the surroundings like tentacles, as if observing the surrounding environment.

Taking another half step forward, the moment the sharp claws landed, ripples appeared in the space, and the Tengu disappeared directly on the spot!

"Watch your back!"

Bai Ruosu on the side looked at the mist pouring out from the pillar behind Yan Jing, and spoke again to remind her, but almost at the same time as she shouted, the tengu had already launched an offensive and rushed towards Yan Jing.

But just when the mouthparts full of sharp teeth were about to swallow Yan Jing's head, the Shuofeng Sword had already penetrated the Tengu's head first.

An insect's premonition plus a little time.

The world in front of Yan Jing's eyes seemed to slow down several times.

Suddenly turning around, Shuofeng Jian suddenly burst into black and white dragon and tiger energy, trying to kill the monster with one blow.

However, this Tengu was not a real living creature after all. Sensing the crisis, its head actually split into two halves, each leading its tentacles to attack again.

Yan Jing had already predicted this. He let go of the Shuofeng Sword with his right hand and turned to control it with his mind. The Red Demon Arm Armor appeared. He started with the two swords entwined with the dragon and tiger energy, and slashed several swords in front of him, cutting the monster into pieces.

into several blocks.

After taking half a step back to make room for the space, the Taiqing Treasure Barrier was activated, and the talismans arranged around it in advance were immediately activated. Nearly a hundred chains shot out, wrapping every piece of the Tengu's flesh tightly.

Yan Jing knew very well that the Tengu could not be killed, and the purpose of his trip was never to kill it, but to let it become a stepping stone for him to enter the core level of the Shinto people.

This series of attacks was specially arranged by Yan Jing for the Tengu.

Seeing that the Tengu had been successfully held back, Yan Jing immediately prepared to shout to remind Bai Ruosu to prepare for the final seal, but the moment he spoke, the Tengu that should have been tied up and completely unable to move actually disappeared!

"Interesting, it is indeed a monster evolved from the transformation of Taiyin Corpse. Even the curse array cannot suppress it..."

Yan Jing half-squinted his eyes, and his evaluation of the Tengu's ability to cross space improved a bit.

I originally thought that the spell formation of the Taiqing Baolu could lock the Tengu, but now it seems that its ability to travel through space will not be ineffective due to the restraint of spiritual energy, and it does not need to use the body to meet certain conditions.

In other words, as long as the Tengu's mind moves, it will definitely be able to enter a different space and avoid spiritual attacks in this world.

No wonder Sanfa Si paid such a high price to seal it.

After finally escaping from the seal, he was attacked again. It was obvious that the Tengu would not let Yan Jing go, so he escaped from the trap laid by the latter and immediately appeared at the other end.

Not affected by psychic energy, unlimited space travel, immune to physical attacks.

Even though there will be a blue mist to indicate the location every time it appears, Tengu still firmly holds the dominance in the battle.

The fighting became more and more intense.

Bai Ruosu felt that her eyes were not enough, and she could only barely see two objects colliding in the center of the main hall.

After all, Yan Jing still had a human form that resembled the lake, but that day the dog had already transformed into a ball of swaying light and shadow, surrounding the former and constantly attacking from all angles.

The psionic riot set off waves of air, the sound of weapons colliding, and the roar of monsters kept ringing in my ears for a moment.

what to do?

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Bai Ruosu wanted to step forward to help, but she soon discovered that she was unable to intervene in a battle of this level. If she rushed forward rashly, not only would she not be able to help, but she would become a burden.

It was at this time that Bai Ruosu heard Yan Jing's cry,

"Get ready, use the bronze mirror in five seconds!"

Five seconds later?

Bai Ruosu looked at the battle ahead, which was obviously still about the same level, with a face filled with astonishment. She didn't understand why Yan Jing made this decision, but as a companion, all she could do now was believe.

Immediately she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

In the center of the chaotic battlefield, a blue ghost fire suddenly erupted. Bai Ruosu saw Yan Jing place a polyhedral crystal block between his eyebrows, and soon there was an evil ghost mask full of soul patterns covering his face.

The half-long black hair is dyed gray-white.

With black and white as the main tone and outlines of faint blue lines, a robe appears all over Yan Jing's body.

He reached out his hand and passed through the turbid light and shadow.

The tengu's neck appears in the palm of his hand.

It tried to escape, but found that the space that it could travel through at will suddenly solidified.

Deathcore·Er.

The strongest ability of this item lies in the spatial level.
