Chapter 24-Seeing the Sun Again (1)
Chapter 24-Seeing the Sun Again (1)
In the middle of the sword pillar, the person bound by the golden chain was indeed Zhao Ling 'er. Her beautiful eyes were closed, and her slightly haggard face was no longer the same as before. Her long hair flowed down like flowing water. However, only her face was the Ling 'er that he was familiar with. Her body was actually a giant snake that was coiling around the sword pillar!
Lin Yu 'eru exclaimed in disbelief. Even the Immortal from the Book seemed to be very shocked. He opened his mouth and looked up at Zhao Ling' er, muttering to himself. No one knew what he was saying.
Li Xiaoyao's eyes seemed to be fixed. He looked at it again and again. That face was indeed Zhao Ling 'er's face, but from the chest down, it was definitely not human.
Zhao Ling 'er slowly opened her eyes and looked at Li Xiaoyao. There was no longer any shock on her weak and despairing face. Instead, there was only a helpless and sorrowful look in her eyes. She said softly,"Brother Xiaoyao…"
"Ling 'er…" Li Xiaoyao's voice was so hoarse that he almost couldn't recognize his own voice. He finally managed to catch his breath and said,"Ling' er…""Is it really you?”
Zhao Ling 'er smiled bitterly and nodded.
Li Xiao Yao's voice was still trembling as he said,"Who…who turned you into this? "How did you…how did you become…" Ling 'er continued,"I'm not sure."An ugly snake?" Li Xiao Yao couldn't nod his head, but this was a fact that was laid out before his eyes. He couldn't deny it, so he said," We…we're here to save you. I'll get you out of here immediately and let you return to your original state…"
Zhao Ling 'er's voice was mournful as she said,"This is my original appearance. Why did you come to save me?"”
Li Xiao Yao's body went limp as he shook his head slowly," No…Impossible…You're not like this…You're…Ling 'er, you're…"
All of a sudden, a beautiful scene of the human world rushed into his mind like a flood!
In the silver pool, her body, which was like a pink lotus flower, slowly moved in the smoke, emitting a misty moonlight…
Li Xiaoyao thought of her soft arms and the back of her neck, which was shiny after the black silk was wrapped around it.
Li Xiaoyao remembered that in the medicine cabinet, her face was illuminated by the night pearl. Her cheeks were red and her long eyelashes were like fans. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the cheek.
Li Xiaoyao also remembered the Immortal Spirit Island. In her room, Zhao Ling 'er was warm and fragrant. In Li Xiaoyao's arms, Zhao Ling' er's body was like a ball of fire, engulfing him in waves…
"Ling Er!" Li Xiaoyao shouted. I…I remember, I remember! You're my wife, and we're husband and wife on Immortal Spirit Island. Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you say a word?"
Lin Yueru looked at Li Xiaoyao in surprise. A hint of a gratified smile appeared in Zhao Ling 'er's eyes, but it was covered by tears.
"Brother Xiaoyao, you remember now?" Zhao Ling 'er asked. I don't know why you've forgotten all of this, but…I'm still very happy that you're willing to take care of me and treat me so well along the way…Now that I'm dead, I have no regrets. You guys can go…Big Sister Lin, I'll leave Brother Xiaoyao to you from now on.”
Li Xiao Yao acted as if he did not hear anything and said loudly,"Ling 'er, I'll save you. I'll save you immediately!”
Zhao Ling 'er said with tears in her eyes," If you have such a heart, I will die without regrets. I have already lost my human form. You saved me, but it is just tiring for me. Brother Xiaoyao, you can leave. Let me spend my remaining years here peacefully…"
Li Xiaoyao said," Don't talk nonsense. You are you. So what if you are human or not?" Bear with it for a while longer, I'll go up immediately.”
That being said, the sword pillar was a thousand feet tall, even higher than the city wall. Across the wide Demon-Dissipating Pool, perhaps only birds could fly up. Ordinary lightness skills could not climb up the sword pillar after crossing the Demon-Dissipating Pool.
Li Xiaoyao decided to take the risk. He drew out the Seven Stars Sword and activated his Genuine Qi. The sword flew out. Li Xiaoyao stepped on the Drunken Moon Gazing at the Immortal and lightly touched the sword. He then used his foot to control the sword and guided his Genuine Qi to the sword pillar. When he collided with the sword pillar, he grabbed the golden chain in time to stabilize his body. At the same time, he retracted the sword and held it firmly.
Although his sword control technique was a little stiff, it was enough to make the Immortal of Books exclaim,""This is Mount Shu's sword control technique! This kid knew sword control technique at his age?”
Li Xiaoyao grabbed the golden chain and climbed up agilely. Finally, he arrived in front of Zhao Ling 'er. Li Xiaoyao held the golden chain tightly in one hand to stabilize his center of gravity, and held the sword in the other hand. He and Zhao Ling' er looked at each other very closely. Zhao Ling 'er's face was emaciated, and tears were streaming down her face. Her black eyes were washed until they were as bright as the stars. Li Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly and kissed Zhao Ling 'er's cheek. He said gently,""I said that I would come and save you. We will be together in life and death.”
"I…I'm like this. Are you still…still willing to be with me?" Zhao Ling 'er sobbed.”
Li Xiaoyao pressed his forehead against hers and said softly,""One night as husband and wife, a lifetime of kindness."
Zhao Ling 'er silently shed tears, unable to speak. The two of them were at a high place, so only the two of them could hear their voices.
"I've been thinking about it for a while now. There's something I want to ask you. Don't hide it from me."”
"Yes." Zhao Ling 'er nodded.
"We…You said you were pregnant with me…Fairy Doctor Han kept saying strange things…Hmm…Is there something in your stomach…" Li Xiaoyao said.
Zhao Ling 'er lowered her eyes and nodded lightly.
Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed. He planted a kiss on Zhao Ling 'er's face and said with a smile,"I was right! These few days I've been thinking about it day and night. Although I don't remember what happened on Immortal Spirit Island, I always feel that…you're my wife. I guessed right, why didn't you tell me?”
Zhao Ling 'er's pale face flushed red as she said,""…You don't remember our marriage, how can I tell you?”
Li Xiaoyao smiled and pulled out his sword to hack at the golden chain. The golden chain snapped. Zhao Ling 'er's hand immediately clung onto Li Xiaoyao tightly. When Li Xiaoyao broke the chain, she gently leaped down and landed safely on the ground.
"That's great! Sister Ling 'er, are you alright?" Lin Yueru ran up and said happily.”
Zhao Ling 'er nodded. She lowered her head and saw that her lower body was still a snake's body. She was a little afraid. Her snake body twisted and coiled into a ring, and her expression was uncertain.
Seeing her uneasy expression, Lin Yueru said,""Little sister Ling Er, don't mind your body. I think you must have a way to take on a human form again.”
Zhao Ling 'er sighed faintly and smiled weakly.""Yes, I will try my best…"
" You and Sister Ling 'er are already married," Lin Yueru glared at Li Xiaoyao." Why didn't you admit it before?" Can you forget such a thing?"
"I don't want to forget either…" Li Xiaoyao said.
"Then why didn't you mention it?"
" This…I really don't know…" Li Xiaoyao really felt wronged and quickly changed the topic,""Now that we've found him, let's think of a way to leave the Shifter Sealing Tower.”
Before he could finish, a shadow that covered the sky and earth had already enveloped the Demon Transformation Pool!
The huge statue floating in front of the sword pillar was the Guardian Deity outside the tower.
"How dare you! How dare you connive at demon criminals!"
The thunderous roar shook the surface of the Monster Transformation Lake. "What crime did Ling 'er commit?" Li Xiaoyao asked angrily. Why are you persecuting her like this?!"
" This snake girl has terrifying demonic power potential," the Guardian Deity said." If we don't get rid of her, once she awakens, she will definitely bring disaster to the world!"”
"So what if he's a demon?" Li Xiaoyao asked. Ling 'er has never harmed anyone!"
"Although the tiger cub hasn't eaten blood yet, it will still be a man-eating beast in the future," the Guardian Deity said. Since I have been ordered to guard this tower, it is my duty to eliminate the root of the demon race's disaster. I will not show mercy!”
"Bullshit!" Li Xiaoyao said. So what if he was a god? With six hands and three eyes, he looked more like a monster than a monster!”
Li Xiaoyao's unwillingness infuriated the Guardian Deity.""I'm a deity from the Immortal World, different from these low-grade mountain spirits and water monsters. Turn back and be saved. Don't associate with demons and do things against heaven! Otherwise, they would be thrown into purgatory and suffer the eternal tribulation fire!”
"So what if he's an immortal or a demon?" Li Xiaoyao asked. Ling 'er is kind. You're so fierce and keep talking about killing. If immortals are like this, I don't want to be associated with immortals!”
The Guardian Deity was furious." You ignorant and foolish commoner who has insulted the Divine Dao! You deserve to die!"”
The Immortal of Books, who was trembling in fear, had already hidden by the entrance. He said in a trembling voice,"" Lord…Lord Ming King…Please allow me to report that this Miss Ling 'er…she really isn't a demon…"
In midair, the Guardian Deity's three eyes turned slightly, and his sharp eyes saw the Immortal from the Book.
"Hmm? How do you know?"
The immortal in the book said," She…has a human head and a snake body, but she is not a low-grade snake monster. She is the leader of the gods, a direct descendant of the ancient Nuwa Clan. She is also…the God who mends the sky, the wife of Fuxi…Back then, Gong Gong and Zhu Rong fought for her heart, and a great war between the gods and the human beings was started. Even the human world knows about this, and it is recorded in ancient books. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Great Wilderness of the West, there were ten gods, or the intestines of Nüwa.'The Book of Rites also says,"Nu Wa speaks of Sheng Huang."'……”
"There is no such person among the gods and buddhas of the western paradise. She is just a holy spirit worshipped by the people!"”
The Immortal in the Book said,"Yes, there is a record in Tong Xi Xian Zhi: 'The Miao people's wax sacrifice is called newspaper. Sacrifice with shamans, set up Nu Wa, Fuxi position.'However, even earlier, Huainan Zi had already recorded her in the Ming Chapter. It said,'In ancient times, the four poles were destroyed, the nine provinces were split, the world was covered, the earth was not filled, the fire was burning but not extinguished, and the water was vast and endless. Ferocious beasts ate the people, and birds of prey seized the old and weak. Therefore, Nüwa refined the five-colored stone to mend the sky, cut off the turtle to establish the four poles, killed the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulated the ash to stop the Ying River…" Nüwa ascended to the Nine Heavens and descended to the Yellow Furnace. Her reputation was spread by the later generations, and her radiance illuminated all things.'She was singing praises of her kindness to others. However, because she had no desire for fame, she taught the Dao without words, for the sake of the Virtue without words, so she did not request to be listed in the immortal book and fight for the position of honor. Therefore, she did not publicize her achievements, nor did she publicize her voice. The Dao of Yin Zhenren follows the natural order of heaven and earth…"
"Since she's not listed in the immortal book, she's not an immortal!" the Guardian Deity said coldly. What you said are all records of humans and cannot be compared to the immortal records!”
The more Li Xiaoyao listened, the angrier he got. He said,""Mother Nuwa has made such a great contribution to the world, yet you treat her as a demon just because she doesn't have the heart to fight for the throne. I want to ask you, as the Guardian Deity of Prison, what contribution has she made to the world? Which part was greater than her? What right did he have to capture her descendants?”
Li Xiaoyao's words hit the nail on the head. The Guardian Deity couldn't refute him and shouted,""Humph! A bunch of ignorant evil demons and crooked paths, I'll make you never reincarnate!”
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. Li Xiaoyao, with Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling 'er in his arms, dodged the lightning bolt and shouted angrily,""If you can't win, then kill. I don't think it's a good idea to disrespect such a god!”
Li Xiaoyao drew out his Seven Stars Sword and shook it slightly. As the force passed through it, a buzzing sound rang out in the hall.
"Good sword technique, good sword!" The Guardian Deity sneered. I was wondering who had the ability to cut through the Heavenly Chains, but it turns out that the Seven Star Sword has fallen into your hands. Humph, the Shu Mountain Faction has fallen!”
"Cut the crap. If you know how powerful I am, then retreat automatically and let me bring Ling 'er out. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!”
"Stupid human, go to hell!" the Guardian Deity said.”
At some point, Guardian Deity Six had conjured a sword, a golden hammer, and other weapons in his hands. He thrust his sword at Li Xiaoyao, and the golden hammer struck at Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling 'er at the same time. Lin Yueru whipped back. Guardian Deity looked huge, but he was able to attack quickly and nimbly. Lin Yueru could only dance her whip into a black cloud to protect her vital parts. Zhao Ling 'er's body was weak. Although she had Divine Power, she could only barely dodge the Infernal Guardian Ming Monarch's saber.
The Guardian Deity was like six people, and the three of them were getting more and more scattered. Li Xiaoyao saw that the two girls were in danger, so he hurriedly blocked with his sword. This attack was both defensive and offensive. He wanted to force the Guardian Deity back so that he could regroup with the two girls and fight shoulder to shoulder. Perhaps he would have a better chance of winning. The three of them could also prevent the Guardian Deity's six hands from being so effective in all directions.
Li Xiaoyao attacked with his sword, but the Guardian Deity of the Prison managed to pull back his sword in time to defend himself. However, the tip of the sword was slanted towards Li Xiaoyao. If he had moved towards the two girls, his abdomen would have been sliced open.
Li Xiaoyao was secretly shocked. It turned out that his plan had been predicted by the Guardian Deity of Prison. Li Xiaoyao's Qi flowed through his legs and he leaped up, stabbing his sword at the throat of the Guardian Deity of Prison. The Guardian Deity of Prison suddenly swung his saber at Li Xiaoyao's waist and was about to cut him in half. Li Xiaoyao was forced to turn around and jump back to the ground. The Guardian Deity of Prison's treasured sword came at him again. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly rolled his hand and fought with the Guardian Deity of Prison again.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already exchanged more than ten moves. Li Xiaoyao had never encountered such a strong opponent before. Not to mention that this one-handed sword technique was complicated and ingenious, with a myriad of killing intent. It was impossible to attack without any flaws, not to mention that there were other five moves. It was a surprise attack. This was not just against one expert, but against six experts who were united!
Li Xiaoyao unleashed the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Art to the extreme, and his sword technique was more than twice as fast as usual. The Fairy of Books and Jiang Wan 'er, who were hiding at the side, saw Li Xiaoyao's cloth clothes moving like clouds and flowing water, like a startled and angry dragon. He shuttled back and forth freely in the thunderous sword momentum of the Guardian Deity of Prisons. He was like a small boat in a huge wave, submerged in a moment, and then reappeared in a moment. He rode the waves and never capsized.
With a cry of surprise, Lin Yue 'er was hit in the chest by the Guardian Deity of Prison's golden mallet. Blood spurted out and she flew out, falling to the ground. "Big Sister Lin!" Zhao Ling 'er exclaimed.”
Zhao Ling 'er flew up, and the Guardian Deity did not stop her. Zhao Ling' er picked up Lin Yu 'eru and hurriedly checked her aura.
Was Lin Yueru alive or dead? Li Xiaoyao panicked. He was distracted for a moment, but the Guardian Deity of Prison's sword had already pierced his head. Li Xiaoyao blocked with his sword in time and attacked again, fighting with the sword of the Guardian Deity of Prison.
After more than thirty moves, Li Xiaoyao's smooth swordsmanship gradually became sluggish. He could only supplement it with his internal energy. Every time he stabbed out, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder. Although the Guardian Deity's sword had forced Li Xiaoyao into a corner several times, Li Xiaoyao was always able to come up with a brilliant move. He even took the opportunity to counterattack. The marvel of his moves was unbelievable.
The Guardian Deity of Prison did not expect a human to have such a godly sword technique. Although he could split his mind into six, he had at least five of them focused on dealing with Li Xiaoyao. In the end, all six of his minds were focused on dealing with Li Xiaoyao. As long as he killed Li Xiaoyao, the others could only be slaughtered by him one by one without any chance of fighting back.
Therefore, Li Xiaoyao found it more and more difficult to fight. The sword techniques of the Guardian Deity of Prison's six hands were either heavy and fierce, or delicate and soft. No matter how he changed his moves and attacked in turns, Li Xiaoyao seemed to be able to cope with it easily, but he was secretly complaining. He had never felt so difficult to use his sword techniques. It was as if his hands were tied up by thousands of thin nets, and it was always difficult to use them.
All of a sudden, the Guardian Deity of Prison let out a furious roar, which echoed throughout the hall. Li Xiaoyao was seeing stars, and his internal organs felt as if they were going to turn upside down. How could he focus on his sword? Li Xiaoyao was shocked when he saw the Guardian Deity of Prison's five swords."My life is over!" At this moment, for some reason, the Guardian Deity's sword slowed down. Li Xiaoyao didn't have time to think in this critical situation. He flew sideways and slashed his sword through the Guardian Deity's arm!
With a splash, one of the Guardian Deity of Prison's arms was cut off, splashing a large amount of water. The Immortal of Books and Jiang Wan 'er hid far away in time to avoid being splashed.
Zhao Ling 'er was splashed with the Demon-Transforming Water, but she acted as if nothing had happened. She picked up Lin Yueru and tested her zhenqi. She found that she was heavily injured. Although she was still alive, if she did not receive treatment soon, she would lose her cultivation even if she did not die.
Lin Yueru slowly opened her eyes and spat out another mouthful of blood."Carefree…go help him…"
"Don't worry, we'll win," Zhao Ling 'er said.”
It turned out that Zhao Ling 'er was shocked when she saw that the battle was not going well for Li Xiaoyao. A huge light shot out from her body, and her palms moved forward. Her True Qi turned into golden snakes and attacked the Guardian Deity of Prison! The golden snake attached itself to the Guardian Deity's back and disappeared. At the same time, the Guardian Deity's movements slowed down for a moment before Li Xiaoyao cut off one of his arms.
Li Xiaoyao quickly rushed to Zhao Ling 'er and Lin Yueru. Zhao Ling' er's face turned even paler as she said,""Brother Xiaoyao, I just used the Dreamsnake technique to distract the Guardian Deity of Prison. You should take this opportunity to deal with him.”
"Dreamsnake technique? That's great." Li Xiao Yao was overjoyed.
Zhao Ling 'er said," However, I have your flesh and blood in my body. I still have to use a portion of my true essence to protect this piece of flesh and blood. I can't use my full strength. I can only use it twice more. You should seize these two opportunities.”
"Twice is enough."”
At this moment, the Guardian Deity had already regained his senses and realized that he was missing an arm. He couldn't help but shout in shock,"Very good, very good. Die!" All five of his arms turned into sharp swords, stabbing towards Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao leaped and dodged, stabbing his five swords into the ground, sending rocks and stones flying and sending debris flying.
The five swords were immediately pulled out and attacked Zhao Ling 'er. Li Xiaoyao flew up and struck out five times, repelling the Guardian Deity's attack. At the same time, he shouted and slashed his sword at the Guardian Deity's face!
This move was extremely dangerous. Golden light flashed around Zhao Ling 'er's body as she attacked with the Dream Snake Art again!
This time, Lin Yueru noticed that the golden light on Zhao Ling 'er's body wasn't as strong as before. She immediately guessed that Zhao Ling' er might be preparing to exhaust her true energy to help Li Xiaoyao. She only had a portion of true essence left to protect her flesh and bones. She probably still had to die. She couldn't help but be shocked. However, she was severely injured. Not only did she warn Li Xiaoyao not to let Zhao Ling 'er use the Dream Snake Art, but she also needed to spend a lot of energy to maintain her consciousness.
As expected, the Guardian Deity's movements slowed down. Li Xiaoyao's sword stabbed deep into the Guardian Deity's glabella, and he stepped on the Guardian Deity's nose and eyes, taking a few steps back.
He had thought that he would die if he stabbed Li Xiaoyao's vitals. However, when Li Xiaoyao steadied himself on the ground, the Guardian Deity was already awake. He said angrily,""You used evil arts? Damn it, how annoying!"
Li Xiaoyao was shocked. He saw a golden light flashing as several swords were aimed at his vital points. Li Xiaoyao's long sword moved in a flurry and dissolved them one by one. The sword moved like smoke and clouds. The sword of the Guardian Deity of Prison was always less than an inch away from his body and could not hurt him.
The Guardian Deity roared in rage, and the five swords surrounded Li Xiaoyao even more tightly. Li Xiaoyao could not help but feel terrified when he saw that the Guardian Deity was actually a statue of earth and stone. He was completely fine after being stabbed in the forehead. Even if Zhao Ling 'er could use the Dream Snake Technique once more, she might not be able to kill this stone statue!
The Guardian Deity of Prison stabbed him three or four times in succession, but Li Xiaoyao rolled away to avoid it. A hard object pressed down on Li Xiaoyao's chest, causing him to feel pain. Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that this was the Thunder Spirit Pearl given to him by the Liquor Sword Immortal.
Just as he leaped up and engaged in a sword fight with the Guardian Deity, thousands of thoughts ran through his mind. It seemed that if he wanted to kill the Guardian Deity, he had to shatter it into millions of pieces. He wondered if the Thunder Spirit Pearl in his arms had the power to do so. Now, he could only take a gamble.
Li Xiaoyao held the pearl in his hand and shouted,"Ling 'er, help me for a while more!"”
Zhao Ling 'er gathered all her true essence and used the Spirit Snake Technique to respond to his palm.
At the same time, Li Xiaoyao gathered all his True Qi into the Lightning Spirit Pearl and attacked the Guardian Deity of Prison!
A white light flashed in front of their eyes, and a loud rumble sounded. Earth and stone fragments flew in all directions, hitting everyone in pain. The sound of water was like a secret drum, and the thick dust and smoke choked their noses.
It wasn't easy for the chaotic sounds of earth and stone to calm down. The smoke and dust gradually dispersed.
The eleven sword pillars were still standing tall, but the ground was covered in dust and ash. The Guardian Deity of Prison was nowhere to be seen. Amidst the pile of gravel, the Lightning Spirit Pearl was still emitting a beautiful luster.
Li Xiaoyao's body went limp and he fell to the ground, panting heavily.
The Immortal from the Book carefully walked over. He walked around the ground that was splattered with Demon-dissolving Water, picked up the Thunder Spirit Pearl, and respectfully handed it to Li Xiaoyao."Young Master Li…no, Miss Saint Spirit's husband…please take back the holy item.”
"Senior Immortal of Books, thank you."”He put away the bead, dragged his feet, and walked to Zhao Ling 'er and Lin Yueru's side.""Are you guys alright?"
Zhao Ling 'er nodded weakly and said,""Quickly think of a way to get out. Sister Lin's injuries are very serious.”
Although he said that, Li Xiaoyao had no idea how to get out of the pagoda.
He looked around helplessly. Just as the Immortal of the Book was about to say something, he stopped. Suddenly, there were many doors outside the hall, and many demons that he had never seen before slowly walked out. Other than the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, there were also some headless ones, seven or eight eyes, and those that looked like rotten meat. There were all kinds of strange shapes.
