Chapter 326 Demon
The village chief said with a smile.
His eyes looked back and forth between Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, as if they were looking at two items for sale.
Fang Yue's heart trembled, he knew that this village chief was definitely not simple.
From the strange rituals held by the villagers to the fact that the village chief was still in the temple in the middle of the night, there was an unusual atmosphere.
"The village chief is so polite. We are just passing by and don't dare to disturb him." Fang Yue said, secretly alert to the village chief's movements.
"Huh, passing by? I think you are not just passing by."
The village chief snorted coldly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "Tell me, what is the purpose of you two imperial convicts coming to us?"
In the past few days, they have sent people out to inquire about information, and they got some information.
However, they only knew that Fang Yue and Fang Yue were wanted by the court, but did not know their specific identities.
"They are two criminals who happen to be born evil. It would be perfect to use them as sacrifices."
After saying that, he waved his hand and the villagers responded immediately. They stood up one after another and formed a circle, tightly surrounding Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.
In the night, a chilling atmosphere gradually spread.
Suddenly, a villager took out a small bamboo tube from his arms. After opening it, a group of black Gu insects crawled out.
The bodies of these Gu worms are dark and shimmering with a strange luster, and they look very scary.
"put!"
Following the village chief's order, the villagers simultaneously threw the poisonous insects in their hands towards Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.
When Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang saw this, their expressions changed drastically.
They quickly escaped, but those Gu insects seemed to have spiritual powers, following them closely and launching attacks continuously.
"These are Gu insects, don't let them get close!" Fang Yue reminded loudly.
Zhu Linlang nodded and waved a long whip in her hand to repel the approaching Gu insects one by one.
However, there are so many of these Gu insects that they seem to be endless and difficult to guard against.
Fang Yue snorted coldly, his vitality surged, and suddenly a bolt of sword energy swung out from his long sword, like a bright silver river, rushing straight towards the swarm of flying Gu insects.
The sword energy was unparalleled, and wherever it passed, the Gu insects turned into ashes in the sword energy.
However, there were so many Gu insects that they seemed to be all-pervasive, and some still passed through the gaps in the sword energy and continued to attack the two of them.
Like the tide!
Facing the flood of Gu insects, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang did not panic.
They have experienced too many life and death tests and have rich experience in dealing with this situation.
Fang Yue waved the long sword in his hand, and every time the sword light flashed, a large number of Gu insects were killed.
His swordsmanship was precise and swift, like an awakened tiger charging at the swarm of Gu insects.
Zhu Linlang used her flexible body skills and long whip to continuously repel the approaching Gu insects.
Her long whip dances in the air like a spiritual snake, and every blow can repel a group of Gu insects.
The two cooperated tacitly, and despite the large number of Gu insects, they did not fall into chaos.
On the contrary, they used the terrain and their own advantages to continuously eliminate the Gu insects.
As time goes by, the number of poisonous insects gradually decreases.
The ground was covered with corpses of Gu insects, black insect liquid was flowing everywhere, and a disgusting fishy smell filled the air.
When the villagers saw this scene, they all looked horrified.
They didn't expect that these two outsiders were so powerful that even their Gu insects were no match.
Some timid villagers have begun to retreat quietly for fear of being affected.
A hint of coldness and unwillingness flashed in the village chief's eyes.
Seeing that the Gu insect attack was successfully resisted by Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, the village chief couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
He never expected that these two imperial convicts would be so powerful and be able to easily break through the swarm of poisonous insects he had carefully cultivated.
However, the village chief was not someone who was easy to deal with. A hint of cunning and cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he decided to use more powerful means.
"Hmph, do you think it's great that you can resist these Gu insects?"
The village chief smiled coldly, "Next, I will let you see true despair!"
Before he finished speaking, the village chief suddenly took out a piccolo from his arms and started playing it gently.
The sound of the flute was melodious and strange, as if it had some kind of magic power, echoing in the night sky.
As the flute sounded, a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere seemed to permeate the surrounding air.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang suddenly became alert. They felt that the sound of the flute was unusual and seemed to contain some kind of power to control living things.
They looked around and saw countless black shadows suddenly appearing in the originally quiet night, approaching them quickly.
These black shadows are not ordinary Gu insects, but larger and more ferocious Gu beasts.
They have different shapes, some are like giant wolves, some are like pythons, and some are like bats, but each one exudes a powerful aura that makes people shudder.
"These are... Gu beasts?" Fang Yue exclaimed.
"Yes, these are the Gu beasts I carefully cultivated."
The village chief smiled proudly and said, "You can resist the Gu insects, but these Gu beasts are not so easy to deal with. Tonight, you will become their meal!"
Zhu Linlang held the long whip tightly and stared at the approaching Gu beasts with a solemn expression.
She knew that the crisis she faced this time was more severe than ever before.
But she did not show the slightest fear, but stood firmly beside Fang Yue, ready to fight alongside him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Fang Yue said softly, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
He gripped the sword tightly, his vitality surging, ready for the upcoming battle.
In the night, the roars of the Gu beasts came one after another, shaking the entire village. Their eyes glowed green in the darkness, like demons from hell.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang stood back to back, facing the Gu beasts coming from all directions, their eyes shining with unyielding light.
"What are we going to do?" Although Zhu Linlang's tone was firm, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, these Gu beasts were weird and scary in appearance.
"Haha, it seems you people really deserve to die!"
Fang Yue smelled a strong smell of blood from these Gu beasts. These guys had obviously eaten a lot of people.
"However, if you want to rely on these wastes, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep us."
Although these Gu beasts are stronger than Gu insects, they are also very limited.
Fang Yue was seen activating his vitality, and his whole body's aura suddenly increased, like an unsheathed sword, sharp and threatening.
The long sword in his hand also began to glow with a faint golden light, as if it had been endowed with divine power.
"Linlang, be careful."
Fang Yue whispered, and then he moved and rushed towards the Gu beast group like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, Zhu Linlang followed closely behind, one after the other, like two sharp swords piercing into the heart of the Gu beast group.
As Fang Yue swung his long sword, the sword energy was flowing freely. Every time he swung the sword, a Gu beast screamed and fell down.
His swordsmanship is exquisite, and every move and every move is just right. He can kill the Gu beast while protecting himself from harm.
Seeing that he was defeated, a trace of cruelty and determination flashed in the village chief's eyes.
He knew very well that if these two outsiders could not be killed today, then they would be the ones who died.
"You stupid villagers, for the village and for our faith, now is the time for you to sacrifice your life!"
The village chief roared, with a kind of madness and paranoia in his voice.
As his words fell, the villagers began to panic. They fled in all directions, but it was too late.
The village chief made a seal with his hands and muttered words. A mysterious power emanated from him and enveloped the entire village.
This force was like a big invisible hand, pulling the villagers towards the center of the temple.
Their bodies seemed to be pulled by an irresistible force, and they could not escape no matter how hard they struggled.
"No! Village chief, please spare us!"
"We don't want to die, let us go!"
The villagers shouted in terror, but the village chief remained indifferent.
There was only madness and determination in his eyes, as if he had lost his mind.
As the villagers were pulled into the temple, a powerful energy began to gather.
This energy is dark and evil, as if coming from the abyss of hell, making people shudder.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang also felt this evil energy. Their expressions changed drastically. They immediately stopped attacking the Gu beast and turned to look in the direction of the temple.
"Is this... a sacrifice?" Fang Yue exclaimed.
"Yes, this madman actually sacrificed the entire village!" Zhu Linlang said through gritted teeth.
They saw a huge vortex begin to appear in the center of the temple, swallowing everything like a black hole.
As the vortex rotates faster and faster, a more powerful evil aura emanates from it, permeating the entire village.
Suddenly, a black shadow emerged from the whirlpool and shot straight into the sky.
It was a demon several feet tall. It had a ferocious face, sharp fangs and scarlet eyes, and exuded a terrifying aura.
Seeing the demon appear, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's expressions became solemn.
They have never faced such a powerful enemy. The aura of this demon is more powerful than all the previous Gu insects and Gu beasts combined.
The village chief stood in front of the temple with a crazy and satisfied smile on his face, as if he had seen the scene where Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were torn apart by the demon.
"Go to hell, you two!" the village chief roared, then turned to face the terrifying monster: "Lord Mountain God, please take action and tear these two sinners into pieces!"
But the next moment, before the ferocity on the village chief's face dissipated, a bone spur was seen piercing out of his body.
The village chief looked down, his eyes full of disbelief and horror.
The bone spur was like a huge cold steel needle, piercing through his chest. The blood slowly dripped along the bone spur, dyeing his clothes red.
"Why...why?"
The village chief turned his head with difficulty, looked at the demon that had just been summoned, and asked with a trembling voice.
The demon just looked at him coldly, as if looking at an insignificant ant.
A flash of realization flashed in the village chief's eyes. It turned out that he had only been in front of the mountain god from beginning to end, and they were all insignificant ants.
The demon glanced at the village chief indifferently, as if he had completed his mission and was no longer of any use.
Then, the demon slowly turned around, its scarlet eyes locked on Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.
A chilling atmosphere filled the air again. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang clenched the weapons and whips in their hands, ready for battle.
They knew that what followed would be an unprecedented fierce battle.
The demon opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, then flashed and turned into a black shadow and pounced on Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.
Fang Yue was quick-witted and swung his long sword, and a sharp sword energy slashed at the demon. However, the demon was extremely flexible and easily dodged the attack.
Seeing this, Zhu Linlang swung his long whip and rolled towards the demon's legs, trying to trip it.
But the demon reacted quickly, jumped up, and avoided the attack of the long whip.
The demon rolled in the air, landed steadily on the ground, and then rushed towards Fang Yue.
Fang Yue was not in a hurry, and swung his long sword continuously, and the sword energy crisscrossed to form a dense sword net, trying to trap the demon.
However, the demon's power was beyond imagination. It waved its sharp claws and easily tore open the sword net, and continued to approach Fang Yue.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang fought and retreated. Facing the powerful offensive of the demon, they had to temporarily adopt a defensive strategy.
Every attack of the demon was so fierce that it seemed to tear the air apart. Every time it swung its claws, it was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind.
Fang Yue waved his long sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the demon. His swordsmanship was exquisite, and every sword was aimed at the demon's vital points.
However, the demon's defense was also extremely amazing. Its skin seemed as hard as steel, and Fang Yue's sword energy could only leave shallow marks on it.
At the same time, Zhu Linlang also waved a long whip and constantly harassed the demon.
Her long whip danced in the air like a spirit snake, sometimes curling towards the demon's neck, and sometimes whipping towards its legs, which annoyed the demon.
Although the two cooperated well, the demon was too strong, and they gradually felt powerless.
In a fierce battle, Fang Yue's long sword was knocked away by the demon's claws, and Zhu Linlang's long whip was also bitten by the demon and could not break free.
Seeing the critical situation, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang had to retreat quickly and distance themselves from the demon.
"This is not a solution. We must find a way to defeat it!" Fang Yue said with a heavy breath.
Just as the two were eager to discuss, the magic stone on Zhu Linlang's body suddenly began to flash a dazzling light.
This light was warm and soft, forming a sharp contrast with the evil breath emanating from the demon.
The demon seemed to have noticed this unusual power. It paused its attack and stared at the magic stone on Zhu Linlang's chest vigilantly.
"What is this?" Fang Yue asked in surprise, his eyes fixed on the magic stone.
It was the magic stone they got from the grassland barbarians.
The light of the magic stone became brighter and brighter, as if a powerful force was gradually awakening.
This power was like the sunshine in the morning light, bringing hope and strength to people.
The demon roared, apparently afraid of the light of the divine stone, and retreated slightly, not daring to move forward. (End of this chapter)
