Chapter 96: Shame Turns into Anger

  Langya was the cultivation of Four Steps to Great Completion. At every moment, there was a spiritual yuan protecting her body. Within ten or more zhangs around her, she could detect even the slightest movement of wind and grass. It wasn't until she raised her head that she suddenly discovered, three zhangs above her head, there was an ugly skull staring coldly at her.

  She didn't even realize when the monster appeared. If it wasn't for the warning from the sheep horn, they might have been swallowed up without knowing where the enemy came from.

  This made Langya unable to be surprised, but after she recognized the monster, her previous astonishment was swept away and replaced with... despair!

  Liang Xin furrowed his brow and sized up the monster in front of him.

  Its body was that giant "rosary", composed of a series of large, hill-like protrusions strung together, coiled on the ground, encircling two young men in the center; its neck was similar, but slightly thinner than its body, and the "hill" at the top was its head.

  The size of a house on its head. Only one eye, smaller than a grape, and apart from that, it's just a big mouth with countless sharp teeth! The lips are full of disgusting wrinkles, slowly squirming, and the stench of rotting earth is emanating from this mouth.

  There's only one eye and one mouth on this face, yet it still has an expression. Now... it seems to be full of interest, smiling at the sheep horn pastry with a joyful face. Just as Liang Xin was thinking about making a move to test the waters, he felt that the Luoying beside him seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength, leaning softly against his body. Due to her weakness, her voice was somewhat low and husky, with a hint of enticement: "This is 'Kun', the Earth element!"

  "Put it bluntly!" Liang Xin's voice was low, and at the same time, he raised his hand to take down the horned sheep, but the little monkey's body was stiff, obviously using all its strength, and didn't budge.

  "What do you know nothing about?!" Langya sighed lightly, and then completely put the weight of her body on Liang Xin's shoulders, only to smile comfortably: "The five elements have their own masters, metal subdues, wood gives birth to Gui, water nourishes dragons, fire produces phoenixes, and the thick earth's power breeds this 'Kun'. It's a monster that replaces the old devil's protection of the Taoist temple. It's not some kind of spell array at all, but this ferocious beast!"

  Liáng Xīn didn't know what the town, evil spirit, and Kun were, but even if he was ignorant, he knew about the phoenix nirvana and flying dragons in the sky!

  A monster worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the dragon and phoenix is hardly something that those two can handle.

  This strange insect, called 'Kun', seemed to be extremely patient and didn't rush to attack. Its huge head occasionally turned around, its small eyes gleaming with a piercing gaze as it sized up the two humans and the ape, and the smile on its face grew even more intense.

  Liang Xin still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he quickly helped Lang Ya up, saying in a low voice: "Your master wanted the power of evil earth to deal with this thing, I have it, we both have the power of evil earth, maybe there's still a chance."

  Langya smiled, pushing away Liang Xin's hand, and leaned against him: "Yes, to deal with this monster, we need to use the power of evil soil... because it loves to swallow evil soil the most. If the evil soil is strong enough, it will take a short nap to digest."

  Liang Xin's expression didn't change much, and he continued to ask: "Is there still a chance to escape?"

  "If Song Hongpao, Xuan Peiwen, Lian Po Po, my master and Hui Pao Tie Mian were to chase us together, would we have a chance to escape? This earth spirit is probably even stronger than all of them combined. Moreover, right now, the two of us are quite delicious in its eyes."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than Liang Xin burst into a furious curse!

  Finally got angry!

  In these years, under the deliberate carving of Qu Qing Shi and Liu Yi, Liang Xin has some heart and city, but he is a sentimental person at heart. Otherwise, five years ago, he would not have gone to fight for Double Killing, Bamboo Five, and Nanyang. Now he finally understands that his evil land power comes from 'feed', and he can't wipe out the evil air in his heart without scolding a few times.

  After scolding, Liang Xin used both hands to forcefully pull the little monkey down from his neck and stuffed it into Lang Ya's arms. Then, with a flip of her hand, she grabbed Lang Ya's wrist.

  Langya only felt that the true yuan in her body was surging, and the star soul she had just snatched away ran back into Liang Xin's body under the call of the 'six brothers'.

  Langya was somewhat perplexed, furrowing his brow as he looked at him. Liang Xin smiled and said, "If you want to have the chance to return alive, please take care of those two brothers of mine." As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Xin suddenly let out a loud roar and flipped over, charging towards the strange insect!

  He himself bore the power of evil earth, and since he had entered Qingliang Port, he would never live again. But Langya still had a chance, as long as Langya was alive, at least Liu Yihe and Qu Qingshi still had a glimmer of hope, this was a settled deal, Liang Xin just hoped to be able to recoup some of his losses.

  I hope this monster, after swallowing itself, will sleep for a while as Langya said; I hope the female demon can take advantage of the opportunity to escape; I hope the female demon still has some conscience and will act according to plan at the trial in the three halls, considering that she is willing to die...

  The massive earth suddenly moved with Liang Xin, and the enormous body abruptly sprang up, truly resembling a heavenly dragon. From mid-air, it coiled out an arc-shaped trajectory that seemed to dominate all, its mouth agape with razor-sharp teeth, ready to swallow Liang Xin whole.

  At this moment, the sheep's horn suddenly moved, and it broke free from Langya's arms. It shook its body clumsily, but quickly flew up and grabbed the last "prayer bead". It opened its mouth and spat a mouthful of saliva on it. Then, it continued to climb and rushed towards the next "prayer bead"...

  Liang Xin didn't go to fight, he went to send himself to death. But just like that, he jumped into the monster's mouth, with a thousand, ten thousand unwillingness in his heart, no longer caring whether he would fall into madness. The Ziwei flowed and changed, the Beidou accompanied him as he rolled forward, throwing a punch at a sharp fang!

  Hit it.

  Liang Xin's only feeling was that he had become an ant, an ant that charged forward without regard for its own life and crashed head-on into a giant tree.

  Fingers about to break, wrist sore. 'Northern Dipper worships Ziwei' has been played out thoroughly, but the strange insect doesn't have any reaction at all, its big mouth opens and closes, swallowing Liang Xin whole. All Liang Xin can do is shrink his body as much as possible, narrowly avoiding two rows of sharp teeth, following the insect's movements, flipping over, rolling towards the monster's stomach!

  The sheep's horns were climbing up the bug's tail, as if they already knew their master was in danger, and let out a shrill roar. In a fit of rage, all the hairs on its body oozed out a faint blood color, and its speed suddenly increased by a lot, like a green arrow flying over the earth, leaving a mouthful of saliva every time it crossed a bead!

  Not long ago, Yangjiao Cui spat out four or five mouthfuls of saliva to please Liang Xin, after which his face turned pale and he lost all strength. It can be seen that this saliva, which can make everyone furious, is extremely precious to Yangjiao Cui.

  At this moment, Yangjiao Cui had gone mad, his eyes filled with thick blood vessels, rushing upwards frantically, spitting out saliva non-stop, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed over a dozen "small hills", but his saliva was also mixed with a dense bloody color.

  No one can see it, the little monkey is coughing up blood, but still charges forward with a ferocious face!

  Liang Xin, who had fallen into the insect's mouth, was jolted along the way, feeling dizzy and suffocated. Since entering the insect's body, everything from "Ziwei" to "Beidou" had become mice under a cat's nose, lying still and not daring to move. Liang Xin couldn't muster any strength, and after tumbling about for a while, he crashed into a patch of mud.

  The mud was soft and sticky. Struggling, Liang Xin found it impossible to get out of the mud, so he temporarily stopped struggling. In the muddy water, there were flashes of phosphorescence that barely lit up the surroundings. As expected, Liang Xin saw a few dead human bones!

  Apart from the bones, there was also a tomb-sized, tumor-like thing standing still in the mud. At the moment of life and death, Liang Xin still had some doubts, reasonably speaking, monsters like Tu Kun shouldn't get sick...

  Right as he was indulging in wild thoughts, Liang Xin suddenly felt a chill all over his body. The evil earth energy inside him rapidly flowed out through his pores. The mud seemed to have some special power and was quietly absorbing his true yuan!

  This earthworm, although worm-like in appearance, is not a worm. It's a rare and mysterious creature born from the power of thick earth, absorbing only spiritual energy and not eating anything. When it swallowed Liang Xin into its belly, it wasn't to eat his flesh, but to seize his true essence.

  Whether human or animal, anything that falls into its mouth will ultimately be drained of all strength, trapped in this muddy gastric juice, withered and rotten.

  The true yuan flew quickly, and the seven-star soul immediately started to rotate, desperately resisting the suction of the mud pit. However, the difference in strength was too great, and although it used the star array to defend itself, it only slowed down the speed at which its power was being drained away. And inside that 'tomb tumor', someone suddenly exclaimed, "Who is it?"

  At this moment, a huge shockwave suddenly came, Liang Xin's feet were unstable, and the thick mud wrapped around him began to roll again! He was unable to speak, but in his heart he cursed incessantly, unable to rest even in death, always being shaken back and forth. But soon discovered that this giant worm seemed to be summoning all its strength, not even having time to 'suck' him anymore...

  Just a moment ago, Liang Xin had just put the soil into his mouth, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face. However, before he could even savor the taste, his expression changed in an instant. His face turned pale, and his eyes widened as if staring at someone. Visible to the naked eye, dark veins bulged from his skin, throbbing violently. His only eye turned a piercing blood red, and after trembling for a moment, a loud, shrill cry burst forth from deep within his throat!

  Among the five elements, metal is sharp, wood is flexible, water is calm, fire is fierce, and earth is thick and heavy. The monsters born from them also have different personalities. This earthy monster has a very stable and calm temperament, even when encountering strong enemies, it will not get angry. Only when Yangjiao Cui has exhausted his own vital energy can he provoke its anger.

  At this moment, the strange insect Tu Kun, who had been calm for thousands of years and never knew what anger was, finally burst into a frenzy! In an instant, the accumulated earth energy in his body erupted violently!

  In the midst of the insect's furious roar, the earth suddenly transformed into a vast expanse of divine law and magical powers. As one looked out, the entire sky was a dull yellow, with sandstorms sweeping by like a file, reducing all things to dust. Countless massive boulders whizzed through the air, without any direction to speak of, as if they had condensed from thin air itself. With a deafening crash, they smashed towards all eight directions, and what was truly terrifying was that this entire hundred-mile-wide tranquil lake was awakened by the earth's furious convulsions, causing rocks to shatter, mountains to crumble, and the ground to collapse!

  First, Liang Xin was swallowed up, then Yang Jiao coughed up blood, followed by the insects going crazy, and the power of the thick earth filled all the space, and Lang Ya lost his soul and fell to the ground before he could even escape.

  Under the violent suppression of Tu Xing, all her true yuan was intimidated, and she couldn't even condense it, let alone get up and escape.

  Visibly in the distance, a few dazzling lights flicker and flash by.

  Those were the Langya masters who were stationed here to guard, propping up their magic treasures or Taoist shields, wanting to escape the confines of the Earth Conduit's spell, but before long, those glows were one by one shattered and annihilated.

  Like Heiting and Qingyi, after being enraged by Xiao Tianyuan, the earth Kun went crazy and released all its accumulated true yuan. This clear pool is its cave, every inch of mountains and rivers are connected with its spiritual consciousness.

  The insect child was enraged, and the entire Qingliangpo was transformed into a fierce and terrifying place. Within a hundred miles of this area, all the grass, trees, insects, birds, small beasts, and all living things were reduced to ashes, even the six-step high-handed masters of the Xianyao realm could not escape.

  After an unknown period of time, the monster finally exhausted its vitality, and with a reluctant long howl, its sharp voice pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks, shaking the sky! The huge body stiffened, fell to the ground, and sank into a deep sleep after losing strength, not moving at all.

  After the monster's rampage, the serene and cool scenery of the mountains and rivers disappeared, and this hundred-mile radius turned into a huge deep pit, with only the center remaining.

  Whether it's a demon or a cultivator, after going crazy and fighting wildly, they all rely on their instincts to act, the surroundings are all filled with misfortune, only the one-third of an acre under their feet becomes a blind spot, allowing them to survive.

  Not long ago in the fierce battle of Tu Jiu Qiu, Hai Tang and Shang were enraged to the point of shocking heaven and earth, but a single green-clad figure hiding at their feet did not die.

  Langya didn't die, until a loud crash sounded beside her, and Tu Kun fell to the ground beside her, rubbing against her. She finally came back to her senses, and in her originally clear eyes, there was still some residual despair. Her legs were weak and she stood up, looking around in all directions.

  Nothing was left around, let alone the lair of the old demon king. Langya looked around and frowned, when suddenly a soft "gulu" sound came from the giant insect's back, and a fluffy object fell off, it was Xiao Tianyang's sheep horn crisp who had been unconscious for a long time.

  Among the originally fluffy and blue-green down, a thick blood plasma was blurred, the little guy's eyes were tightly closed, his body twitched occasionally, apparently, even in a coma, it was still painful.

  Langya sighed, bent down and held the sheep's horn crisp in his arms, taking advantage of the strange insect's temporary inability to wake up, he shook his body shape around carefully searching for a week, still unable to find any clues about the old devil's cave.

  Then, Langya only felt a slight struggle in his arms, and when he looked down, the sheep's horns were barely opening their eyes, weakly stretching out their paws, pointing in the direction of the strange insect.

  Langya shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying in a low voice: "It's useless, Liang Mochou is dead, and this demon's body, I simply can't move it."

  Although that's what he said, seeing the sheep horn crisp with a pleading face, its paws trembling, but still pointing at the big bug, Langya still urged the true yuan, shouting in the midst of it, a green light descended from the sky, and a cyan whip swung fiercely, slapping loudly, hitting the giant bug heavily.

  The earthworm pattern silk didn't move, as if it had no feeling at all. On the other hand, Langya's body shook violently, and a pale flash passed over her cheek.

  The worm only relied on the counter-shock force and almost hurt her! The sheep's horn finally gave up, trembling and closing its eyes, two lines of tears slid down, dripping onto Langya's hand, cool and clear.

  Langya sighed and held the little guy tighter, softly advising: "Don't be sad, from now on you'll follow me, it's much better than following Liang Mochou."

  Don't bother with her, she's stubborn and won't listen.

  Langya still unwilling, after wandering around the nearby for a while, finally stomped his foot in hatred and cast a spell to break through the air and leave!

  After exhausting all means, even risking her own life, she gained nothing. What made Lanyu regretful was that after such a commotion, as soon as Shifu returned from the South, he would immediately suspect her of treachery. If she couldn't provoke the Five Greats to take action against Shifu during the Three Halls trial, Lanyu would have no foothold left.

  Also, that kid Liang Mòdāo was quite interesting, it's a pity he died like this. Thinking of this, Láng Yuè bit her lip in frustration...
