"Why don't you all just talk it out peacefully? It's just compensation! I come from Xuanmu Temple, so why worry about not being able to compensate you for your losses?"
When Shang Laodao heard this, his face changed, but he quickly returned to smiling. While saying nice things, he secretly made some magic gestures with his hands.
Sudden,
The four black wooden tiger puppets suddenly opened their ruthless eyes, opened their bloody mouths in an instant, and spewed out several beams of light as thick as bowls.
The beam of light was like a long white silk thread, shooting fiercely at Zhao Sheng's chest and abdomen.
At the same time, he took a step back and shook his right hand forward. Dozens of black peanut seeds flew out from his sleeves at a high speed, and quickly expanded and sprouted in the air. In the blink of an eye, they grew into dozens of black thorns as thick as thighs and emitting a metallic luster.
These black thorns quickly intertwined and entangled like living things, falling to the ground to form a high wall of thorns, blocking the way of Zhao Jinjian and others.
On the other side,
Looking at the four beams of light coming towards him, Zhao Sheng slapped his storage bag expressionlessly, and a small black seal suddenly jumped out.
In the blink of an eye, the spiritual weapon Xiao Yueyin grew to the size of a house, not only blocking the entrance to the passage, but also blocking the four beams of light.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The beam of light hit the surface of Xiao Yueyin hard.
The four huge impact forces caused Xiao Yueyin to shake violently.
But that was all, Xiao Yueyin quickly stabilized.
At this time, Zhao Jinjian controlled the Chihong Sword and slashed at the same black thorn three times in a row before he was able to barely cut it off. Sparks flew everywhere where he slashed, and the thorn was actually three times harder than fine steel.
Zhao Keru, who was standing next to him, muttered something and reached out to press the Jiuxu Cauldron. Then a golden spiritual fire shot out from the mouth of the cauldron and landed on the black thorns.
Who would have thought that this thorn was a strange species in the world and was not afraid of the burning of spiritual fire at all.
"fall!"
At this moment, Zhao Sheng's face was frosty and he uttered a word coldly.
In the dark stone cave, the small Yue seal rumbled, bringing with it wind and thunder, pressing straight towards the head of the old Taoist with a high crown.
The old Taoist wearing a tall hat looked extremely serious. He quickly took out a green bamboo stick and threw it up.
The bamboo stick quickly rose above his head, a green light flashed, and in the blink of an eye it expanded into a giant pillar, suddenly propping it up.
Zhao Sheng's face darkened, and he pinched the magic formula in his hand fiercely. The small Yueyin suddenly grew another three points, occupying half of the cave, and its momentum became even more astonishing.
In an instant, the spiritual weapon Mountain Seal crashed into the giant pillar.
A huge explosion was heard, and the giant pillar formed by the emerald bamboo stick suddenly creaked, as if it could not bear the weight of the mountain, and actually dropped down inch by inch.
Seeing the amazing power of the Xiaoyue Seal, the old Taoist Gaoguan began to panic.
His hands flashed green light as he pressed them on the giant pillar at the same time, then desperately channeled spiritual power into it, trying to increase its power.
But at this moment, a red rainbow suddenly flew from a distance, and the dazzling sword light instantly illuminated the dim environment.
Seeing that the head was about to be split in two, the old Taoist with a high hat said angrily: "Okay! You forced me to do this."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bit his tongue and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue, which sprayed onto the giant pillar in front of him.
The giant pillar immediately shone brightly, and for a moment it actually stopped Xiao Yueyin's downward momentum.
At the same time, the old Taoist with a high crown spat out four mouthfuls of blood onto the heads of the four tiger puppets.
The essence and blood seeped into the puppet's body very quickly.
Roar, roar, roar!
The four black wood tiger puppets' bodies glowed red. Two of them suddenly raised their heads, opened their tiger mouths wide, and ejected two thicker and faintly reddish beams of light, which hit the Red Rainbow Sword.
The other two leaped three feet high and pounced towards Zhao Sheng.
"Come on!" Zhao Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and with a thought, a spiritual fire gourd flew out from his waist, and a giant flaming tiger covered in light purple suddenly spewed out of the gourd.
This giant flaming tiger is a mutated fire spirit born from the fusion of two spiritual fires of heaven and earth. Its strength is no less than that of a foundation-building cultivator.
After the giant flaming tiger landed on the ground, its body shook, and two slightly smaller tiger spirits immediately separated to the left and right.
They came forward one on the left and one on the right.
In an instant, the four "tigers" started fighting.
After vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, Shang Laodao's face turned extremely pale.
He believed that he was no match for the three foundation-building monks.
Seeing that there was no way out, I felt extremely upset and regretful.
While he still had a chance to catch his breath, he took out a green talisman and began to chant.
Amid the mysterious incantation, the azure talisman gradually emitted a dazzling green light, and the shadow of a jade knife appeared in the green light.
After seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng's face changed, and the invisible crystal sword in his hand could not be used.
"Third-level treasure talisman?!"
As he said this, Zhao Sheng wiped his right hand across the storage bag, and the tortoise shell talisman instantly fell into his palm.
The third-level talisman is of the same level as the talisman treasure, and their power is similar.
But the difference is that talismans can be used multiple times, while treasure talismans can only be used once.
Taoist Shang held the treasure talisman in his hand and swallowed seven or eight colorful elixirs while threatening fiercely: "Stop it, or I will activate the Divine Sword Talisman, and many people will die. If anyone wants to die, come at me."
Seeing Zhao Sheng and the others hesitate for a moment, he quickly added, "I just want to stay alive. How about we just stop here?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately said, "Master Shang, if you want to stop, you must first stop these tiger puppets."
"Stop it first!"
Although Shang Laodao said this, the four black wooden tiger puppets quickly retreated to his side and protected him tightly.
Zhao Sheng's mind moved, and the small Yue seal flew up and hung on the top of the cave.
The two tiger spirits merged into one again, standing in front of Zhao Sheng.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinjian also retracted the Chihong Sword.
On the contrary, Zhao Keru seemed not to hear it and was still struggling with the black thorns.
But from the curious expression on his face, it can be seen that Zhao Keru must have made some new discovery.
Shang Laodao knew he was in the wrong, and when he saw everyone stop, he immediately said, "I'm deeply grateful to you all for saving my life a few days ago. If you have any conditions, just ask! Why start a fight right away?"
Zhao Sheng's mind flashed, and he immediately made a request, "As long as you promise to serve my family for the rest of your life, we will let you go."
Shang Laodao was stunned when he heard this, but soon he said with a grim smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, are you serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously, as long as you swear a great oath to your inner demons," Zhao Sheng nodded, his expression not at all like he was joking.
"Okay, I will swear a great oath to my inner demon."
Shang Laodao readily agreed and then solemnly swore an oath.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I've finished my inner demon oath. What do you think?"
Zhao Sheng shook his head and said coldly, "Master Shang, do you think we are fools? The Heart Demon Oath without the blood of the heart is as good as no blood at all."
"Haha, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. I'll send it again."
As he spoke, Shang Laodao spat out a mouthful of blood and repeated his oath again word by word.
Only this time, he spoke very slowly.
When he was halfway through the oath, Zhao Jinjian suddenly shouted: "No, he is stalling for time, don't be fooled!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Laodao's expression suddenly became gloomy.
