Chapter 60
Qinzi naturally didn't believe Xia Fan's words that he could deal with the monsters, but when Xia Fan really showed his extraordinary means, Qinzi was extremely excited!
This is definitely not an ability that ordinary people can possess!
Regardless of whether Xia Fan is an Onmyoji or not, Qinzi regards Xia Fan as her only hope! The only savior!
"please help me!"
"Please avenge my mother, sister, and husband!!"
"Master Xia Fan!"
Qinzi knelt down in front of Xia Fan, tears streaming down her face.
"
Don't worry, I will take care of those monsters.
"As for the villagers……"
"I have my own way!" Qinzi gritted her teeth and said
"Lord Xia Fan, the time is almost up, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, we should take advantage of the situation and go up the mountain first."
……
Boom boom!
""Xia Xiaoxiong? Qinzi?"
Daogu knocked on the door.
Qinzi opened the door and made way.
"He has fainted."
""Good, good!" Daou went forward to check on Xia Fan's condition, his face full of surprise.
"My daughter, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's all for the village."
Qinzi pretended to be strong and shook her head.
""Come here, tie up the sacrifice!"
Dawu waved his hand and shouted, and two villagers came in immediately, took out ropes and tied Xia Fan several times.
When they carried Xia Fan out of the room, they found that there were many people standing outside.
They held torches and looked at Xia Fan eagerly.
"Thanks to this outsider, we didn't have to die this time."
"Yeah yeah!"
"Thank him so much!"
Some people in the crowd were extremely grateful, some were indifferent, some were terrified, and some were vigilantly looking around.
All kinds of expressions highlighted the various states of life.
Although they are talking and laughing now, in fact, before Xia Fan came, there was no trust between them.
Because anyone could be chosen as a sacrifice, especially those who were alone, or left with orphans and widows.
Even after a sacrificial ceremony, some people began to form a group and discuss who to push out.
It shows the ugliness of human hearts.
However, this is also a way of survival.
Xia Fan was carried all the way up the mountain by the villagers, and in addition to Xia Fan, there were many fresh animals behind him. Being carried.
More than a hundred people holding torches formed a long team, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
But no one noticed that Kotoko did not follow.
Finally, a group of people came to a shrine.
This shrine does not enshrine any real god or mountain god, but the rampant monster here, Shuten-douji. Shuten- douji has two faces, one of a handsome boy and the other of an ugly evil ghost. He can seduce women in human form.
In the monster form, he is a red-faced ghost who can spit fire. He has a ferocious and hideous appearance, messy hair, horns on top, a big body and red skin, and wears large plaid fabrics and a red prayer hakama skirt. The three brothers of the village chief, along with a group of villagers, knelt respectfully in front of the statue of Shuten-douji made in the posture of an evil ghost.
"Master Tongzi, this time we met an outsider, his flesh and blood must be more delicious than ours! Master Tongzi, you will definitely like it!"
"We have also prepared other offerings for the boy and other adults to taste!"
The village chief knelt on the ground, said a few words, and asked the villagers to arrange the offerings, and then left quickly with a group of people.
He was afraid that if he left too late, he would become a part of the sacrifice.
Monsters will not talk to you about morality, let alone rules.
……
The last trace of firelight disappeared at the end of the road, leaving the entire shrine in darkness.
It was a dark night with a strong wind and dark clouds gathering. An inexplicable depression filled Xia Fan's heart.
This made Xia Fan re-examine the strength of this legendary monster.
Whoosh!
Ring, ring, ring!
A gust of wind swept past, making the bells hanging under the eaves on both sides of the shrine ring.
The surrounding leaves also made rustling sounds, like waves one after another.
This mountain seemed to come alive.
"The boy is here! Go! Go home!"
""What are you still standing there for? Aren't you afraid of death?!"
The villagers who had already reached the foot of the mountain heard the roar of the wind, the cheers of the trees, and the ringing of the bells in the shrine.
They hurriedly quickened their pace, fearing that they would fall behind and be caught by the thick darkness.
All the villagers hurried back home, locked the door, blew out the candles, hid in the quilts and shivered, quietly waiting for dawn.
As soon as the village chief Daigo ran into the room, he remembered why he didn't seem to see Kotoko?
Huh~
The sound of the wind seemed to be more intense. Daigo hurriedly stopped thinking about it, closed the doors and windows tightly, climbed onto the bed and hid in the quilt.
Suddenly, the whole village fell into a dead silence, without even a sound of chickens or dogs barking.
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared in the middle of the village road.
Kotoko was wearing a white yukata, with her long black hair loose, and wearing wooden clogs. She looked at the sudden fire in the opposite mountain, her eyes full of expectation.
"Lord Xia Fan, you must succeed."
……
The candlesticks around the shrine suddenly lit up with will-o'-the-wisp fire, illuminating the surrounding area. A vague shadow appeared in the dark shadows and slowly walked towards this side.
The animals that were still alive around Xia Fan felt the fear of the unknown, and they kept struggling and roaring.
"Jiejiejie……"
There were low laughs coming from all around, the sound was erratic and wandering around.
Xia Fan opened his eyes, observed the situation, and was ready to take action at any time.
"Smells good...smells good……"
"I want to eat...I want to eat……"
Roar!
A black shadow flashed by, and an animal was dragged into the darkness. Along with the animal's painful wailing, Xia Fan heard the sound of being torn apart and the sound of chewing food. It was creepy to hear.
As one animal after another was dragged into the darkness and eaten alive by the monsters, Xia Fan was finally the only one left.
A black shadow suddenly appeared and was about to attack Xia Fan, but before he could touch Xia Fan,���The shadow was stopped
"This is... the King's……"
"Want to eat……"
The tempting aroma that emanated from Xia Fan's body, which was extremely fatal to any supernatural creature, made the monsters around him eager to move, unable to suppress their desire.
The footsteps gradually approached, and Xia Fan even heard the dripping sound of saliva falling on the ground.
In the illuminated area, shadows were stretched into long lines by the ghost fire.
Finally, Xia Fan saw the true faces of the monsters.
Each of them had a hideous face, green mouth and fangs, bulging eyes, and a long tongue hanging out of the lips.
They were burly, with no clothes on their upper bodies, and the exposed skin was either black, blue, or red.
This was the monster that had just devoured the living creatures in the dark, and it was also the mountain god that the villagers at the foot of the mountain avoided.
Their bodies were stained with fresh blood, and they greedily surrounded Xia Fan in the middle, their eyes kept scanning back and forth, wanting to tear Xia Fan into pieces and eat him into their stomachs.
Finally, a monster couldn't help but open his mouth towards Xia Fan's leg, and when he was about to bite, he was punched away by his companion.
They are very strong. Xia Fan thought
""Roar!"
The monsters fought back, unable to resist their desire for Xia Fan, and they started fighting.
With a bang, the floor was broken and the stones were blown away. The ferocious monsters roared and fought regardless of anything.
In the mountain village, the villagers heard the roars from afar, hid under the quilts, and trembled more violently.
Even though it happened once a year, they still hadn't gotten used to it.
……
The bell of the shrine rang again, and all the monsters stopped their movements and turned to look at the statue.
In the darkness, a handsome young man walked over with red hair and a huge wine gourd in his left hand. He walked slowly to the center of the shrine.
"This time, the villagers down the mountain finally brought a delicious meal."
Shuten-doji finally appeared in human form.
His arrival made all the monsters stay quiet and dare not move.
"It smells so good~" Shuten-doji licked his lips, not hiding his greed for Xia Fan.
Gululu~ (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
He took the wine gourd and raised his head to take a big gulp of wine, then lowered his head and slowly approached Xia Fan's neck, sniffing the tempting aroma while opening his mouth and showing his fangs.
Bang!
Suddenly, Shuten-doji's body flew backwards.
The monsters all turned their heads and stared at Shuten-doji's direction
"There is a human being with such great strength. No wonder it smells so good."[]
Shuten-doji's voice was still calm, and he was not injured.
Bang, bang, bang!
The rope on Xia Fan suddenly broke, and Xia Fan stood up.
"Want to eat me? That depends on whether you are qualified."
"Hahaha! Those damn villagers down the mountain are really good!~"
"I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
"Catch him."
Shuten-doji stood in the distance and gave orders to the monsters.
Immediately, the monsters growled fiercely, stretched out their claws, and turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Xia Fan.
Swish!
A cold light, like a silver moon in the sky, flashed in the air.
The monsters didn't understand and stood there in a daze.
Suddenly, a monster's body split into two and fell at the feet of its companions.
Looking at Xia Fan again, he was standing in the middle with a big sword in his hand.
The blade was cold and bloodless.
"Samurai... this sword……"Shuten-doji was a little confused.
The samurai he knew used weapons that were smaller and not as sharp.
But at the same time, the threat they felt was not comparable to other weapons.
This person was very different.
"This sword is called the Demon Sword, the Rebellious Blade, and is specially used to kill demons and monsters."
Xia Fan smiled, and moved his feet. The super speed brought by it directly made Xia Fan teleport to a monster, and the Rebellious Blade slashed down diagonally.
The sharp Demon Sword cut through the monster's tough body without any obstruction, bringing a cluster of blood flowers.
"Kill him!!"
Shuten-doji's voice became rough, no longer as elegant as before.
"Come on!"
Xia Fan was in high spirits at the moment, and he killed a small monster with one sword.
In a short while, all the monsters were killed by Xia Fan's sword, and their bodies were lying around Xia Fan in all directions or in pieces. The hot red blood was all over the shrine.
Xia Fan carried the rebellious blade and looked at the dark
"Shuten-doji, let me see how powerful you are"
"Ho ho ho ho……"
"Human, you are looking for death!"
Shuten-doji walked towards Xia Fan step by step, his body kept getting taller and his figure became more burly.
Xia Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully.
Xia Fan knew that this was Shuten-doji returning from human form to his true form as a monster.
Bang!
A big red foot stepped into the illumination of the ghost fire and cracked the stone bricks under his feet.
He was two meters tall, with two horns on his head, and burly and hard muscles under his red skin.
His face was terrifying, and his teeth were bared.
There was a sense of déjà vu of Kaido, the king of beasts.
Shuten-doji picked up the wine gourd, which was big for humans but very suitable for monsters, and took another big sip.
Clear The clear wine flowed over Shuten Douji's neck, making him look a little domineering.
Bang!
Shuten Douji threw the wine gourd aside and looked at Xia Fan with red eyes.
The next second, he heard the stone slab under his feet suddenly shatter, and Shuten Douji was in front of Xia Fan in an instant.
Xia Fan raised the Blade of Rebellion and blocked Shuten Douji's claws.
The super strength and the monster's huge power collided violently in the air, stirring up a violent airflow that swept the entire space, blowing the stones on the ground and the bodies of the monsters away. The surrounding trees made a louder rustling sound, and the entire mountain was like a roar, venting its dissatisfaction.
""Roar!!"
Shuten-doji took a step back, raised his head, and roared to the sky!
The sound shook the air, and the surging demonic power turned into pressure, venting wantonly.
Gusts of wind blew up around Shuten-doji, blowing away everything around him.
Xia Fan held up the telekinetic defense shield, stood in the middle of the field, and let Shuten-doji roar.
……
""Roar!!"
The roar reached the foot of the mountain, frightening the villagers. They didn't understand why Master Tongzi was angry. They were even more afraid that Shuten-doji would rush down the mountain with the monsters and eat them alive.
Village chief Daigo was even more so. He kept recalling, wondering if there was something wrong with today's sacrifice that made Master Tongzi unhappy.
As he recalled... Daigo suddenly remembered, where is Kotoko!?
How come since they tied up Xia Fan, sent him all the way to the mountain shrine, and then came down from the mountain, during this period, he didn't even see Kotoko!! Daigo wanted to go out to look for her, but he was afraid that he would see a hideous monster face as soon as he went out, so he finally chose to hide in the quilt.
Kotoko put down a wooden barrel, wiped the sweat off her face, and listened to the roar coming from the mountains. She smiled happily.
……
"Have you yelled enough? It was very noisy at night. Xia Fan picked his ears.
""Hiss!"
Shuten-doji looked at Xia Fan and took a deep breath. The next second, he spit out a fierce flame and rushed towards Xia Fan.
"(Zhao's good) Huh!!"
Shuten Douji maintained the flame output, and the scorching high temperature even melted the stone bricks on the ground.
But fortunately, Xia Fan, who was in the protective shield, was not only unaffected, but also could not feel the slightest burning.
The flame disappeared, and Shuten Douji took a breath, thinking that this time this human must have been roasted into charcoal!
Although it was a pity that he could not eat it ,
""It's over?""
Shua!"
A cold sword light flashed through Shuten-doji's eyes, and he instinctively tilted his head to the side.
With a swish, the sword blade pierced into the flesh, and blood flew out.
"Ah!!"
The pain from his shoulder made Shuten-doji cry out. He suddenly grabbed the Blade of Rebellion in Xia Fan's hand with his right hand and bent his knee at the same time!
Bang!
The air vibrated, and the air wave rose. Xia Fan pressed Shuten-doji's knee with his left hand.
""I'm not bad in terms of strength."
Xia Fan stepped forward with his right foot, and his telekinesis was activated. A strong repulsive force appeared, and Shuten Douji was blown away.
Whoosh!
Xia Fan flashed above Shuten Douji who was flying backwards in the air, and stepped down!
Boom! There was a loud noise, and the soil rolled up.
Shuten Douji was stepped into a big pit by Xia Fan.
""Puff!" Shuten-doji spat out a mouthful of blood, ignoring the severe pain in his chest, and raised his hands to grab Xia Fan.
"Blood magic."
The blood that Shuten Douji had just spit out seemed to have life at this moment. It changed in the air and turned into thin threads, wrapping around Shuten Douji's hands and feet.
The wind blew away the dark clouds, and the moon reappeared.
Xia Fan stood in the dense forest, with the silver moon above his head, holding the rebellious blade high, and pointed it at Shuten Douji's chest.
"It's over, monster."
"No!"
Swish!
The sword entered his body and passed through his chest.
Shuten-doji's breath gradually weakened until he disappeared.
"Sacrifice"
