Chapter 133: Demon Removal
Shi Potian suddenly remembered that Nie Xiaoqian had a bell tied to her leg. Worried about Ning Caichen’s safety, he rushed out and banged on Ning Caichen’s door, shouting, “Ning Caichen! Ning Caichen!”

Suddenly his expression changed and he turned to look to the east, only to hear a terrified scream of “Ah” coming from the direction of the bell, which started suddenly and stopped abruptly.

“It’s Xiahou! Did he meet Nie Xiaoqian?”

Shi Potian had a premonition that Xiahou might have been killed, but he felt a little strange. The female ghost looked powerful but was actually just a useless figure. He knocked her away with just one punch. With Xiahou’s martial arts skills, he should not be no match for her.

“Could it be that the female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian is much more powerful than Xiaoqing?”

There was another faint sound of breaking through the air, getting farther and farther away, heading towards Xiahou’s direction.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Yan Chixia.

“Brother Shi?”

Ning Caichen’s confused voice came from the room.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of someone getting dressed, the oil lamp lit up and the door opened.

Ning Caichen saw Shi Potian frowning and looking worried, and he felt panicked for no reason. He asked hurriedly, “What happened to Brother Shi?”

Shi Potian was relieved to see Ning Caichen was safe and sound, and said, “I just encountered a ghost.”

“Ghost?!” Ning Caichen opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

Shi Potian hummed and continued, “Master Yan didn’t lie to us. There are indeed ghosts here. The Xiahou from before may have been killed by them. Let’s leave quickly.”

Ning Caichen dared to stay overnight because he didn’t believe Yan Chixia’s words. When he heard Shi Potian say this, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He nodded hurriedly and said, “Okay, I’ll go pack my things.”

Shi Potian said, “Don’t pack anything, let’s leave here first.” He pulled Ning Caichen and walked out of the temple.

At this time, the sound of bells and wind had stopped, and Lanruo Temple returned to silence.

However, Shi Potian always felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was watching him in secret, and he didn’t want to stay any longer for a moment.

The two of them had not taken a few steps when a very faint sound suddenly came from behind them.

“who!”

Shi Potian had already circulated his true energy, raising his five senses and six consciousnesses to the extreme. He noticed the movement almost instantly and looked over in the direction of the sound.

They saw several things that looked like tree roots weaving through the weeds and bushes, and they were rapidly approaching them under the cover of dead leaves at night.

The moment Shi Potian looked back, these roots suddenly stopped, as if they did not expect to be discovered by Shi Potian. After pausing for a few seconds, they suddenly jumped up and stabbed towards Shi Potian.

The speed is far faster than Dongfang Bubai’s embroidery needle.

If Shi Potian had faced this sudden attack half a year ago, even with the Zixia magic power to enhance his five senses and six consciousnesses, his body would not have had time to react.

But at this time, he had already mastered the “Sunflower Manual” to perfection, and his body had been tempered by the great righteousness, and he had been reborn, completely different from what he was half a year ago.

Shi Potian stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Caichen, then drew his sword and slashed at the roots.

when!
The long sword slashed on the roots, making a sound of metal colliding.

But these roots could not stop the sword for a moment.

Sparks flew as they were all cut off. The cuts were as smooth as mirrors, and spurted out sticky, smelly dark green sap.

Shi Potian hurriedly pulled Ning Caichen and jumped to avoid the juice. As soon as he landed, he felt the ground shaking slightly, so he turned around and stabbed the ground with his sword.

puff!
The long sword stabbed directly into the ground, halfway inside, and when it was pulled out, dark green juice gushed out like a fountain. However, the shaking of the ground did not stop, but became more intense.

There were also bursts of rustling sounds in my ears, like a poisonous snake crawling around.

Shi Potian realized that something was wrong, so he grabbed Ning Caichen and jumped into the air.

Almost the moment he took off.

The bluestones on the ground broke with a crackling sound, and the soil surged. Countless roots emerged from the soil. Some were only as thin as a thumb, while others were so thick that two or three adults could not hold them together. They were baring their fangs and claws, and looked ferocious, like a living net reaching out to them.

Ning Caichen didn’t react until this moment. Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, he screamed in fear: “Monster, monster!”

Shi Potian had never seen such a scene before. His heart was pounding and his face turned pale. He grabbed Ning Caichen with one hand and poured his true energy into the sword with the other hand, preparing to swing the sword and use the recoil force to escape from the underground net.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance: “The sky and the earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law!”

There was a sudden flash of light in the darkness, and a fireball flew towards their feet.

The fireball was only half a person’s height, and was nothing compared to the numerous roots under its feet. But the moment it hit the roots, it exploded with a bang, and sparks flew all over the sky.

These sparks seemed to be the nemesis of these roots. Any roots that came into contact with them would instantly ignite, illuminating the entire Lanruo Temple.

The roots that were just baring their fangs and claws abandoned the burning parts like a gecko cutting off its tail, and shrank back into the ground in a flash, leaving only a mess on the ground and sporadic flames.

Yan Chixia flew to Shi Potian’s side, dragged the two of them to a vacant space nearby, and angrily said, “Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?”

Shi Potian said: “We thought you were joking, Master Yan…”

Ning Caichen nodded timidly beside him.

“You big-headed ghosts!” Yan Chixia cursed angrily and asked, “What did you do to make that old monster so angry?”

“Stinky Taoist!”

A roar came from all directions, the voice was sometimes male and sometimes female, it was extremely weird.

“This kid is so ignorant that he seriously injured my men! This matter has nothing to do with you, so stay out of my business!”

Shi Potian was stunned. He thought he had killed the female ghost named Xiaoqing, but he didn’t expect that he only injured her.

Yan Chixia’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Shi Potian: “Boy, did you run into the female ghost under his command?”

Shi Potian nodded and recounted what had happened before.

“Okay! Well done!”

Yan Chixia laughed loudly, then turned around with a sullen face and cursed: “Old hag, I knew you were no good, and today you finally showed your true colors! When you failed to lure me in, you resorted to force. Is this what you mean by killing those who deserve to be killed?”

Yan Chixia never took action to eliminate the demon because the locust tree spirit swore that he only killed those who deserved to die and those who committed sins, and never harmed the innocent.

Although Yan Chixia didn’t believe it, he didn’t take any action for the time being because he had no evidence.

Today, the locust tree spirit self-destructed.

The Sophora japonica tree spirit’s patience with Yan Chixia was actually almost at its limit. He was only terrified of Yan Chixia’s Taoism and had been enduring until now. Upon hearing this, he said in a cold voice, “Do you really want to make things difficult for me?”

Yan Chixia pouted and shouted, “You want me to be mean to you? You killed innocent people indiscriminately, so you want me to be mean to you!” He then whispered to Shi Potian, “Boy, take this scholar away later. I’ll take care of the things here.”
