What other plans do you have?
Nie Xiaoqian looked unconvinced. Suddenly, as if sensing something, her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "Oh no! Grandma has awakened, and her aura is rapidly approaching. You should hide first."
"I do not go."
Ning Caichen was unusually assertive, and without offering any explanation, he prepared to activate the Master Fahai summoning card.
Rumbling--
Just then, a loud roar rang out outside Lanruo Temple, and a battle broke out without warning.
Then, Yan Chixia's voice came in.
"Ning Caichen, you hurry up and get on with your business. I'll try to buy you as much time as possible."
Yan Chixia was furious. He had secretly followed Ning Caichen to Lanruo Temple, but Ning Caichen was not discovered by the thousand-year-old tree demon, while he was discovered instead.
"Great! It's the Taoist priest who saved you before. Ning Caichen, you'd better leave now, or it will be too late."
Nie Xiaoqian looked anxious.
She had stayed at Lanruo Temple for several years and knew very well how terrifying her grandmother's strength was. Although the Taoist priest outside was not weak, he was still inferior to her grandmother.
"Xiaoqian, believe me, I'll be fine."
Ning Caichen took a deep breath, gently patted Nie Xiaoqian's shoulder, and then activated the "Master Fahai Summoning Card" in his system inventory.
[Ding! Host has successfully activated the summoning card. Master Fahai is on his way...]
This!
Ning Caichen twitched his lips, a million alpacas galloping through his mind.
Only Jiang Bai, the group admin of the chat group, could probably understand how he felt.
Because the last time Jiang Bai activated the Thunder General Summoning Card, it also required a waiting period.
Chi Chi!
Rumble!
At this moment.
The battle outside Lanruo Temple continued. In order to resist the thousand-year-old tree demon, Yan Chixia went all out, taking out all the flying swords from the sword box and using magic to drive sword moves in the battle.
Unfortunately, his magic was still too weak, and he couldn't hold on for long.
A dozen or so breaths passed.
Yan Chixia was struck by the tentacles of the thousand-year-old tree demon, spitting out a mouthful of blood and crashing to the ground.
"Senior, just hang in there a little longer, reinforcements will be here soon."
Ning Caichen came out of Lanruo Temple and immediately helped Yan Chixia up.
"You brat, what are you still doing here? Didn't I just tell you to leave?"
Yan Chixia rolled his eyes a few times, almost fainting from a stroke. As for the reinforcements Ning Caichen mentioned, he didn't take them seriously at all.
The thousand-year-old tree demon is the strongest monster Yan Chixia has ever encountered, and it is not something an ordinary person can handle.
"No, get out of here!"
Suddenly.
Yan Chixia shouted and grabbed Ning Caichen's shoulder, pulling him back more than ten steps.
No sooner had they left than a sharp tentacle shot out from the ground with a loud "bang".
Gulu!
Ning Caichen swallowed hard, still shaken, and said, "That was dangerous. I almost died here."
"Hmph, now you know how powerful the thousand-year-old tree demon is."
Yan Chixia said irritably.
"Hehehehe, you Taoist priest are quite skilled. If I were to drain your yang energy, I could save myself hundreds of years of cultivation."
The thousand-year-old tree demon had retracted her tentacles and transformed into an old woman draped in a black robe, but her voice was rough and neither male nor female.
"You audacious fiend! How dare you commit such atrocities in this sacred Buddhist land! You are utterly ignorant of your own limitations!"
at the same time.
Another, even more domineering voice echoed through Lanruo Temple.
A monk dressed in a kasaya descended from the sky, holding a nine-ringed staff in his left hand and a purple-gold alms bowl in his right, looking very majestic and domineering.
This is the monk Fahai summoned by Ning Caichen, specifically the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon version.
"This...could it be the reinforcements you were talking about?"
Yan Chixia was dumbfounded and stood frozen in place.
Chapter 31 Fahai: No one knows more about catching demons than me!
Fahai's aura was too strong; with his cassock, staff, and golden alms bowl, he was clearly a highly accomplished monk.
As a fellow cultivator, Yan Chixia could sense that the other party's magical power was far superior to his own, not even in the same league.
What puzzled him was how Ning Caichen was able to hire such a master to capture the demon.
however.
What happened next almost made Yan Chixia's jaw drop.
After landing on the ground, Fahai did not immediately attack the thousand-year-old tree demon. Instead, he bowed to Ning Caichen and said, "My lord, Fahai is here. What are your orders?"
"Great! Master Fahai, you've finally arrived!"
Ning Caichen smiled, then tentatively asked, "Can you catch demons?"
"Of course! I am the abbot of Jinshan Temple, and my magical powers are boundless. No one knows more about exorcising demons than me!"
Fahai responded with an air of arrogance.
In fact, catching demons is his greatest interest, bar none.
Ning Caichen wasted no time and got straight to the point: "Alright, I now order you to suppress the thousand-year-old tree demon as quickly as possible, without fail!"
"Yes, please wait a moment, sir, I'll be right back!"
Finish this sentence.
Fahai suddenly turned around, his demeanor completely transformed. He glared at the tree demon and roared, "You audacious fiend, I'll make you reveal your true form!"
"Hehehe, another one's come to die, and it's a monk at that..."
The thousand-year-old tree demon let out a sinister laugh, and just as it was about to make a mocking remark, Fahai made his move.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Paramita, manifest!"
Fahai formed a mudra with one hand, chanted incantations, and was surrounded by a halo of Buddha light.
With a "humming" sound, his palm shone like a great sun, illuminating all directions.
For an instant.
The illusions surrounding Lanruo Temple have been dispelled, revealing its true appearance: crumbling walls and overgrown weeds all around.
The Tree Demon Granny screamed, revealing her true form as a locust tree, which tore her black robe apart.
She hadn't expected that the monk opposite her was so powerful; he had exposed her true form in a single exchange. It seemed she had met her match.
However, she was a tree demon who had cultivated for over a thousand years. Over the years, she had become much stronger by absorbing yang energy, so how could she be easily intimidated by Fahai?
Fahai's power surprised her, but that was all she was surprised about!
"You filthy monk, you're courting death!"
call out!
call out!
call out--
The thousand-year-old tree demon instantly moved more than a dozen tentacles, and with a whooshing sound, they pierced towards Fahai like spears.
Fahai leaped up, and his dozen or so tentacles pierced through the stone wall, producing a deafening roar.
Before the thousand-year-old tree demon could retract its tentacles, Fahai roared, "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Vajra Flame!"
Boom boom boom—
In an instant.
Fahai spat out a flame from his hand, which coiled around the tentacles like a fire serpent, igniting them with lightning speed.
"Ah ah ah..."
The thousand-year-old tree demon let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground and rolled around, trying to extinguish the Vajra Flame.
But her resistance was futile; the Vajra Flame was like a leech clinging to her bone, impossible to extinguish in a short time.
In order to resolve the crisis, the thousand-year-old tree demon made a desperate decision and actually destroyed its tentacles to sever its body in order to survive.
Rumbling--
