Chapter 706: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy Spirits

"Black Mountain Old Demon, I must kill you!" Ruyi no longer had any scruples at this time. He only wanted to kill the Black Mountain Old Demon. He flew straight towards the Black Mountain Old Demon's body towards the flying stones.

She was not like before, always afraid of getting hurt and worrying about consumption, so she didn't dare to use her ultimate move. She was also not like before, worried that she would die together with the Black Mountain Old Demon and not be able to leave this world. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to kill the Black Mountain Old Demon before she died.

"Ten thousand arrows are fired, golden swords are swung!" Thousands of golden sword techniques gathered in the air into a huge sword light, "Fall!" With a Ruyi sound of falling, the sword light turned into a giant mountain-splitting blade and slashed straight towards the entire Black Mountain.

"Boom--" The giant blade fell, the earth shook, and dust filled the sky. Ruyi stared hatefully at the place where the Black Mountain Old Demon's body was, waiting for the result.

Yan Chixia and the young monk Shifang had suffered a lot of injuries before, and they were both particularly saddened by Zhiqiu Yiye's sacrifice. Yan Chixia's eyes turned red and he almost couldn't help crying.

Zhiqiu Yiye is both a disciple and a confidant to Yan Chixia. The two have practiced together for ten years. Even if the life span of a cultivator can reach more than a hundred years, ten years is still a long time for them. Yan Chixia thought that he would die before Zhiqiu Yiye in dealing with the Black Mountain Old Demon this time, but he never thought that it would be Zhiqiu Yiye who would die before him.

"Miss Song, the Black Mountain Old Demon may not be dead yet." Yan Chixia also stared motionlessly at the place where the Black Mountain Old Demon's body was. Across the flying sand in the sky, Yan Chixia did not dare to relax at all.

"I know." The previous attack almost consumed half of Ruyi's merit power. She was well aware of the law of 'smoke but no injury'. Even though the surrounding black fog gradually dissipated and the Black Mountain Old Demon's den showed signs of breaking after the previous attack, Ruyi still did not dare to relax.

Ruyi's spiritual sense could not see clearly the situation in the dust. He guessed that it might be because the Black Mountain Old Demon's body was also made of rock. Ruyi did not dare to be careless. He continued to observe with his spiritual sense, while absorbing the thin spiritual energy in the air every second, trying to recover as much merit as possible before the Black Mountain Old Demon appeared again.

Yan Chixia pulled out a medicine bottle from his bosom, took out a healing pill and swallowed it, then handed another one to the young monk Shifang behind him. The young monk Shifang did not refuse, but took the pill tremblingly. Just as he was about to swallow it, two hands suddenly appeared at his side and grabbed him and Yan Chixia into their hands.

"Ahem, hahahaha, Yan Chixia and this little monk are in my hands now, let's see what you are going to do!" The Black Mountain Old Demon suddenly emerged from the ground, still transforming into the appearance of the Hall of the Dead. Two stone hands grew out of the walls on both sides of the hall, holding the little monk Shifang and Yan Chixia tightly in the stone hands respectively.

"Damn it, I actually forgot about the underground!" Ruyi hadn't expected that the Black Mountain Old Demon actually came from underground. No wonder the original place hadn't reacted at all until now. At this time, Ruyi couldn't help but blame himself. He really had too little experience in fighting enemies. He didn't even notice such a simple place.

The Black Mountain Old Demon looked at Ruyi with his heart beating fast. He did not expect that this woman could be so powerful when she was giving it her all. If she used the same trick again a few more times, the Black Mountain Old Demon had a premonition that even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured. After all, it was very rare to see a mountain that had been preserved for more than ten thousand years.

"Originally, I wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect you, a woman, to be so ignorant of the current situation and refuse to leave. In this case, I can only accompany you to the end."

The Black Mountain Old Demon said harsh words, but in fact, after being chopped by Ruyi, he wanted to escape back to the underworld and stop fighting. However, what the Black Mountain Old Demon did not expect was that he could not go back to the underworld. He didn't know the reason, but he didn't want to fight anymore.

So the Black Mountain Old Demon lifted the blockade of the ghost den and blew away the black fog of demonic energy. He planned to hide underground and pretend that he had been dealt with by Ruyi, and then come out after Ruyi and the others left.

But Yan Chixia and Ruyi refused to believe that they were dead and insisted on staying here. Seeing that the ghost den was about to dissipate and the sun was about to illuminate this area, the Black Mountain Old Demon, who was afraid of the sun, had to get rid of Ruyi and others before the sun came out.

Ruyi didn't even care whether she could survive or not, so she naturally didn't care about the lives of Yan Chixia and the little monk Shifang. She just stared quietly at the crack in the middle of the Wrongful Death Hall that the Black Mountain Old Monster had conjured up, thinking to herself: "Sure enough, no matter how many years they have lived, attacking the monster's body can still cause great damage to them."

Using thunder magic is not very effective against monsters like stones and forests. It seems that we still have to use fire and swords to chop them.

“Damn woman!” No matter how he threatened and persuaded the hostages, Ruyi did not respond. He only focused on performing the spell. Looking at the sword light that once again condensed in the air, the Black Mountain Old Demon’s sense of crisis beeped in his heart, “No, I can’t let this woman perform the move just now. I must stop her!”

"Hey! How about we both take a step back?"

"I will let these two people go, and you leave Black Mountain. We will keep to ourselves..." Both the flying stones and the stone hand attacks were blocked by the defense shield in front of Ruyi. Seeing that the sword light was about to be generated, the Black Mountain old demon finally panicked, and hurriedly dragged Yan Chixia and the little monk Shifang to his front to persuade Ruyi.

“You can’t retreat!” Yan Chixia’s bones had been broken by now, and his already injured internal organs were even more overwhelmed. His mouth was full of blood, but even though his life was hanging by a thread, Yan Chixia was still not afraid of death and interrupted the Black Mountain Old Demon’s persuasion, “I know that this day will come sooner or later when I kill demons and eliminate monsters. Miss Song, you don’t have to worry about me. Life and death are determined by fate, and I have already seen through it!”

The other hostage, the young monk Shifang, was not as well protected as Yan Chixia and was already unconscious due to his severe injuries. He hung his head with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and occasionally groaned in pain while breathing weakly.

"Ten thousand arrows are fired, and golden swords are unleashed!"

This was the only sentence in response to the Black Mountain Old Demon. This time, the giant blade transformed by the sword was far more exaggerated than the last time. The Black Mountain Old Demon tried to escape but the giant blade chopped down too fast. He couldn't escape at all and was soon completely split in half by the giant blade. The illusionary Hall of the Dead also began to collapse.

Before his death, the unwilling Black Mountain Old Demon used all his remaining magic power to drive the flying stones to smash towards Ruyi. As all the merit power in Ruyi's body had been drained, the defense shield had long been broken, and the flying stones, without any resistance, smashed all over Ruyi.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to still be alive after all this."

Ruyi was covered in blood and flesh, lying on the ground like a pile of rotten meat. Before she lost the last bit of consciousness, she seemed to hear the voice of heaven in a trance.

"I originally thought that I could get rid of you all in one go, so I wouldn't have to pay you anymore." The voice was still a little childish.

"But I'm not someone who doesn't keep his promises. Since you're still alive, I'll give you this thing."
