Chapter 5: Calming Evil

  Without hesitation, Jiang Le quickly ran to Mao Xiaofang's side and said in a bad tone: "I'm saying, Master, can you remind me next time? Taking something that doesn't work on it to deal with it is suicidal behavior."

  Mao Xiaofang hummed: "I haven't even spoken yet, and you've already pounced over. You're so capable, how can Master possibly stop you."

  Jiang Leyu suddenly became speechless, feeling that Mao Xiaofang seemed to be very displeased and didn't dare to retort. He dryly laughed and changed the subject: "The talisman for driving out evil spirits is useless, what should we do then?"

  Mao Xiaofang's eyes flashed, and he looked at the local pure Yang Bagua. He sighed: "Look at that Bagua on the ground, take it, then bite your middle finger, drip blood on the yin-yang fish above, recite 'Taishang Laojun, Jijirulüling', and then hit the old man."

  "Is this reliable? I haven't cultivated it before, is my blood useful?"

  "Are you a virgin?"

  Jiang Le's face turned red as she said shyly, "Isn't this nonsense? I'm still so young, I'm totally a virgin."

  "That's it, even children's urine is effective against yin evil. You're young and vigorous, with a strong blood flow, especially since your middle finger connects to the heart meridian, you can mobilize part of the pure yang eight trigrams' power. However, the pure yang eight trigrams have been suppressing the blood demon for many years, consuming too much energy, and has already damaged its foundation. This time, after using it, who knows when it will recover? Mao Xiaofang's face showed a hint of pain, if not for Jin Lao's corpse transformation being too shocking, and he also hadn't recovered his yuanqi, he wouldn't have dared to harm the sect's treasured heritage like this."

  Jiang Le's face lit up with joy, as long as it works.

  Looked at the location of Chunjing Bagua, it was more than four meters away from myself.

  The corpse of Jin Lao Tou was just two meters outside the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams.

  I'm going, but it's hard to carry things.

  Just now, the blood was surging and became impulsive. Now that I've calmed down, Jiang Le is somewhat unbelievable. How did he dare to confront a zombie just now? Is his brother a hidden violent fanatic?

  "I'm telling you to hurry up, if you keep dawdling like this, even if you were to spill all your blood, you still wouldn't be able to fix it," Mao Xiaofang said urgently.

  Damn it, if I don't kill this monster today, I won't be able to live myself.

  Jiang Le gritted his teeth and charged forward without hesitation towards the corpse-transformed Old Man Jin.

  The old man let out a low growl and also slid over to Jiang Le.

  He still had the Evil Silk and the Soul Bell tied to his body, but both treasures were ineffective against him. Instead, they were suppressed by a layer of dark green gas, which had greatly dimmed their luster. It was clear how formidable that extremely yin evil energy was.

  "Evil-repelling charm." Jiang Le raised his palm towards Jin Lao Tou, and in the center of his hand was a shiny evil-repelling charm.

  The old man had been taken in once before and when he saw the talisman to ward off evil spirits, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, feeling rather apprehensive.

  Jiang Le quickly withdrew his hand and took a step back, then moved sideways to the ground, doing a rolling motion to grab the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams from the ground.

  "Rrr!" Old Jin's face turned red with rage as he watched Jiang Le turn and leave, feeling deceived. He let out a loud roar and charged towards Jiang Le, his ferocious fangs making one's blood run cold.

  Jiang Le rose to his feet, greatly shocked by the sight. No longer able to deceive, in the instant that Old Man Jin drew near, a talisman was slapped down fiercely and stuck to Old Man Jin's face.

  In an instant, Jin Lao's body stiffened again, but this time it was faster. The talisman gradually turned black and then suddenly self-ignited with a loud bang.

  Jiang Le took advantage of the situation and rolled away from him about four or five meters.

  "Hurry up, his extreme yin evil energy will absorb the moon's essence and become more and more terrifying. Once he completes his transformation into a corpse, the extreme yin evil energy will transform into a yin evil magical power, becoming a fearsome corpse demon. By then, you'll be sucked dry." Mao Xiaofang said urgently.

  Jiang Le panted heavily, gritting his teeth and saying: "I'm telling you, Master, you're standing there talking without any waist pain, but I'm a newcomer, ah, I don't know any Taoist methods, and I have to fight this fierce zombie alone, this is absolutely the most miserable newcomer in the Taoist world!"

  Mao Xiaofang's words were stuck in her throat, and what she said felt... like it was really true.

  There isn't a single newcomer from the Daoist sect who doesn't even know the basic Dao techniques and cultivation, yet he dares to confront the Corpse Transformation alone. This kid's luck is pretty bad.

  "Heaven will entrust a great responsibility to this person, must first torment his heart and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones..."

  "Alright, I'll handle him, don't say anything more." Jiang Le directly cut off Mao Xiaofang's words, if he couldn't help then he couldn't help, no need to make a big deal out of it.

  Turning around to look at the corpse of Old Jin, Jiang Le's expression gradually became solemn.

  "Old Jin, although we've known each other for less than two months, I will never forget the kindness you showed me in taking me in. So, I absolutely won't let your body become a monster's."

  "When you're dead, you should rest in peace, and that's it."

  He raised his hand, Jiang Le's eyes locked onto it, and he bit down on his middle finger with a loud crunch.

  A thread of pain spread, and the middle finger suddenly bled non-stop.

  "The Great Supreme Elderly Lord, hastily as if by imperial decree"

  His mouth murmured words, Jiang Le's spirit was highly concentrated, this was a kind of instinct he had forced himself to cultivate over the past decade or so, as long as he was willing, he could stare at a point for several hours without feeling dizzy.

  Fingers slowly rotated on the pure yang eight trigrams, dark red blood constantly seeped in, dyeing a large area red.

  When the blood stained the center of the Taiji diagram, the heavy and ancient-looking Taiji suddenly revealed a slightly different luster, like copper but not copper, like iron but not iron.

  Beside Jiang Le, just as Mao Xiaofang was about to stir his sword finger and use the last bit of magic power to activate the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams, he suddenly froze.

  Has Pure Yang Eight Trigrams really been activated? How is this possible?

  Although he said earlier that a virgin's blood can activate the pure yang bagua, it is indeed so, but he didn't mention one thing, that is, you must have magical powers to guide it, otherwise, a virgin's blood can activate the artifact, then what's the point of having a Taoist?

  But how did this kid start it? This is unscientific!

  No, apart from magic power, there seems to be something else that can activate the artifact.

  Mao Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of a past event.

  That was a phrase his master had once said, in this world there existed a kind of genius who could activate the law device with their thoughts, such people were called natural Taoists and were the best talents for cultivating the Tao.

  Could it be that this kid is...?

  Mao Xiaofang's eyes sparkled and slowly became excited.

  If that's the case, then they would have picked up a great bargain. A genius like this is rarely seen in an ordinary sect from birth to extinction. If discovered and properly cultivated, it will surely make the sect prosperous.

  At this time, Jiang Le raised his artifact and aimed at the corpse-transformed Jin Lao Tou.

  It seems that he felt the threat of the pure Yang Bagua, and Jin Lao Tou also became anxious and uneasy, his eyes rolling around as if planning to retreat.

  "Hey kid, be careful, can't let this thing get out and come into direct contact with Yue Hua, it'll accelerate his corpse transformation, and by then it'll be too late." Mao Xiao Fang warned in a low voice.

  Jiang Le's face suddenly froze, he thought for a moment, then walked towards Old Man Jin with a firm gaze.

  Mao Xiaofang was shocked and wanted to stop him, after all, he had discovered that Jiang Le was a genius at cultivating the Tao, and it would be a waste if he were to die in the hands of an undead monster.

  But Mao Xiaofang opened his mouth and still didn't make a sound to intercept.

  Jiang Le just said that he would never tolerate Old Jin becoming a monster.

  This is a person who values relationships, if he lets him escape himself, it will leave a bad impression, and in the future, there will be some estrangement. This can easily affect the emotions between teachers and apprentices.

  Forget it, today I'll risk damaging my soul to protect this kid.

  Mao Xiao's expression turned serious, his hands clenched into fists, ready to provide support at any moment.

  Jiang Le's approach made Jin Lao Tou vigilant, and he actually backed away slowly, seemingly intimidated by Jiang Le.

  When paths converge, it's a contest of momentum; those with stronger momentum have a greater chance of winning.

  Gradually, Old Jin backed into a corner of the room, with walls on both sides, and no way to retreat.

  Jiang Le couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

  He approached with the intention of giving this monster no chance to leave the house, now he could make his move.

  "Monster, look at the talisman."

  Raising the talisman in his right hand, Jiang Le charged forward without hesitation.

  "Ugh!"

  The wall behind him made Old Jin's eyes flash with urgency, looking around, there was no way to retreat, he had entered a dead end. Looking again, Jiang Le was approaching, and the talisman that had caused him to suffer twice before was once again heading towards his face.

  The old man let out a loud, hoarse roar, and his face suddenly turned ferocious, with an evil glint in his eyes that seemed to say he'd drag you down with him even if it killed him.

  The next moment, he also rushed forward, heavily colliding with Jiang Le. At the same time, a layer of dark green gas suddenly appeared on his face, emitting a chilling aura that made one's hair stand on end.

  "It's bad, it's too much." Jiang Le was shocked.

  It's just a brief exchange of blows now, and there's no chance of dodging. Jiang Le gritted his teeth and directly swung his hand to slap him.

  Bang!

  With a crisp sound, Jiang Le struck the talisman on Jin Lao's head.

  But then Jiang Le's eyes widened in shock.

  The golden old man with the talisman on his face surprisingly didn't freeze in place and continued to charge forward in a straight line.

  "The evil-repelling talisman has also lost its effect!!" Jiang Le was shocked, he had been preparing to take advantage of the moment when Jin Lao Tou was immobilized, using his Pure Yang Eight Trigrams to strike at its heart, a single move that would decide victory or defeat.

  But now, the strategy has failed.

  Then, Old Jin's body heavily collided with Jiang Le's.

  Bang!

  Jiang Le felt a sharp pain in his chest, and before he knew it, everything went black and he flew backwards.

  "Fantastic!" Mao Xiaofang exclaimed, then forcibly gathered the remaining bit of magical power on his body and transformed it into a red light that burst out.

  Bang!

  The red light hit Old Jin, causing him to yelp and fly backward.

  However, soon the old man Jin quickly sat up again, although his chest was bloody and a foul smell of smoke was emanating from him, but his spirit looked very good. His eyes gleamed with greed as he gazed at Jiang Le who had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.

  He is a transformation of extremely evil and malevolent energy into an evil corpse, having the same instincts as a zombie, which is to suck blood.

  Ginger's fingers seeped with fresh blood aura, emitting a lethal seduction.

  Mao Xiao's complexion changed drastically, but with the final consumption of his Fa Li, his Dao Soul began to become unstable and he was completely unable to fight.

  Looking at Jiang Le, who seemed to have fainted, Mao Xiaofang couldn't help but mutter in sorrow and anger: "Is it destined that my lineage will be cut off by myself? It's not easy to meet a peerless talent, how could it end up like this?"

  Jin Lao Tou didn't care about Mao Xiao Fang, he sniffed and followed the scent of blood to Jiang Le's side, took a sniff, smelled the fragrance of blood, and the evil light in his eyes was overwhelming.

  Then he started tilting his body, opening his mouth, and his fangs slowly approached Jiang Le's neck.

  Just as he was about to bow down, something unexpected happened suddenly.

  "Grass mud horse, go die."

  Seemingly unconscious, Jiang Le suddenly flipped over, grabbed the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams and fiercely pressed it against Jin Lao's heart.

  The pure Yang Eight Trigrams directly confronted the body of the Golden Old Man, and in an instant, the Yin-Yang fish at the center of the pure Yang Eight Trigrams erupted with a strong golden light. The golden awns savagely invaded the dark green gas on the Golden Old Man's body.
