Chapter 167 Flying Yaksha, Just a Feast

"Flying Yaksha?"

Su Ming stared in astonishment at the monster in the mist.

A skeleton over eight meters tall with a pair of huge bone wings on its back, covered with black and red patterns.

That was a flying yaksha.

"Jiejiejie——"

The flying yaksha let out a strange laugh.

Its wings vibrated incessantly, unleashing terrifying black and red storms that swept in all directions.

Boom, boom~~

It is attacking the seal.

Outside, Zhang Xuanji stood with a solemn expression, reinforcing the seal with all his might.

A young woman standing nearby held a wooden sword, her body surrounded by crimson auras, like a burning flame.

The two worked together to suppress this corner.

"The seal won't last long."

Zhang Xuanji gave a solemn reminder.

The young woman beside him turned serious and said, "I will sacrifice all my cultivation to seal this place completely. Master Xuanji, you can take this opportunity to severely injure that flying yaksha."

"no!"

Zhang Xuanji's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he hurriedly rejected it: "You are still young and have a lot of room for growth. I, an old Taoist priest, have reached the end of my road. My old bones won't live much longer. Let me do it."

Sacrificing one's entire cultivation level for a young person is simply a joke.

"But—" the woman wanted to say something more.

But Zhang Xuanji interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense, I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to use my magic to seal it completely with all my cultivation. It's worth it."

"Come, this humble Taoist priest is about to begin~~"

Zhang Xuanji channeled his magical power, preparing to perform a ritual sacrifice.

Boom~!

Just then, a loud bang came from within the seal.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura erupted.

"This breath?"

Zhang Xuanji and the woman's expressions changed drastically as they looked at the center of the seal in horror.

The place was shrouded in mist, yet a crimson aura emanated from it.

"Is that the aura of a drought demon?"

The woman gasped in surprise.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized what was happening, their expressions changing drastically.

A drought demon appeared in the core of the Ailao Mountains.

"Hmm, it seems to be similar to the aura that lingered behind Stone Cave Village before."

Zhang Xuanji suddenly paused and said in surprise.

"That's right, it's the same aura."

The woman nodded solemnly: "Moreover, its aura is even stronger, as if it has already grown into a fully-formed drought demon."

"A fully-formed drought demon, even an immortal descending to earth might not be able to defeat it, right?"

Zhang Xuanji gasped.

One flying yaksha was troublesome enough, but now a fully-formed drought demon has appeared.

"Is that senior Taoist master here?"

The woman asked in surprise.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Xuanji exclaimed excitedly, "That's very possible. After all, it was that Taoist senior who had mastered thunder magic who made the move in Shidong Village before."

"It seems that this senior has made a move."

As they were talking, the seal trembled.

Even the old monk guarding the other side was alarmed.

Boom, boom—

"Ow!!"

An angry roar came from the mist.

The flying yaksha was enraged.

Then it chickened out.

Because once they saw clearly what was attacking them, they immediately chickened out.

A watery, spirited drought demon appeared before it. How could it, as a flying yaksha, not be intimidated?

"Old... Ancestor—" The flying yaksha, whose skeletal body was over eight meters tall, trembled and knelt down in front of the drought demon.

It was terrified, and the flames inside the skull's eye sockets flickered violently.

"This flying yaksha is a bit strange."

Su Ming glanced at the Flying Yaksha and found it quite strange.

It's not a true flying yaksha; it's more like a mutated yaksha.

A strange energy has appeared on his body, as if he has been mutated by some strange contamination.

"Red-clothed woman, can this thing be eaten?"

Su Ming asked casually.

The woman in red glanced at the flying yaksha, nodded, and said softly, "Young master, although it's a bit ugly, it can still be eaten after being refined."

"Then you can eat it."

Su Ming nodded and stepped aside.

Boom~!

Upon hearing this, the Flying Yaksha immediately sprang into action.

A strange burst of energy erupted and attacked the drought demon.

It flapped its wings and pounced towards Su Ming, knowing that as long as it killed this human, it would have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, this demon chose the wrong target.

Su Ming yawned as he watched the flying yaksha pounce on him.

"roll!"

He kicked out, and though he was behind, he arrived first, sending the flying yaksha flying and crashing to the ground.

With a deafening roar, the earth shook violently.

The flying yaksha, his bones shattered, scrambled to his feet with a cracking sound, a flicker of fear in his eyes.

Choosing the wrong target, that young human was even more terrifying.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the woman in red roared angrily.

Attacking Su Ming in front of her made her extremely angry.

In a flash, the woman in red slammed the flying yaksha's head hard onto the ground.

Thump, thump, thump~~~

The series of beatings nearly drove the Flying Yaksha to the brink of collapse.

Before it could break free, the woman in red stepped on its back, grabbed its two huge bone wings, and pulled away with all her might.

With a tearing sound, the bone wing was broken off and pulled out by the roots.

"what..."

"Spare me, spare me!"

The flying yaksha let out a series of mournful howls.

The sound emanated from the seal, causing Zhang Xuanji and the others outside to exchange bewildered glances.

"It sounds like the wailing of a flying yaksha?"

The old monk who rushed over asked in surprise.

Zhang Xuanji nodded: "It's that senior who's arrived. It seems he brought a drought demon with him. Without a doubt, he's beating up the flying yaksha."

"That senior from the Taoist sect?"

The old monk's face showed a hint of envy.

"Amitabha Buddha, then we are saved."

He said happily, "We don't need to fight to the death or make sacrifices anymore."

"Alas, when will our Buddhist community produce a great and virtuous monk?"

The old monk clasped his hands together and chanted sutras continuously.

Boom!

The seal trembled again and shattered with a crackling sound.

The three men's expressions changed, and they hurriedly retreated.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing red light swept across, burning away all the mist.

I could vaguely see a huge skull being crushed, burned in flames, and slowly burning and melting away.

"go!"

Seeing that the woman in red had dealt with the flying yaksha, Su Ming immediately hugged her neck.

The woman in red, carrying Su Ming on her back, vanished into the void in a flash.

When everything dissipated, the seal disappeared.

Zhang Xuanji and his two companions immediately entered the central area of ​​Ailao Mountain.

Seeing the mess on the ground, everyone fell silent.

In particular, a scorching energy remained on the ground, which was scorched into a glassy state.

This shows just how powerful the drought demon is.

As for the Flying Yaksha sealed within, it has completely disappeared.

"The Flying Yaksha is gone."

The old monk remained silent for a long time.

Zhang Xuanji said thoughtfully, "It should have been eaten by the drought demon."

"The drought demon is so powerful that even immortals might not be able to subdue it. How did that senior Taoist master manage to subdue it?"

The old monk exclaimed in amazement.

"It must have been cultivated step by step, right?"

The woman whispered a guess.

She thought for a moment and said, "How about we ask our senior to go to the Kunlun Forbidden Land and destroy that evil dragon?"

"Can you get that senior to come?"

The old monk shook his head, not believing that it was possible to persuade them.

But the woman suddenly spoke up: "That senior raises a drought demon. You know that drought demon likes to eat dragons. All we need to do is pass on the message to that senior."

"Yes, the drought demon likes to eat dragons. It just so happens that the evil dragon in the Kunlun Forbidden Land is about to be overwhelmed. Why don't we ask you, senior, to subdue it?"

Zhang Xuanji seemed to realize this point thoughtfully.

"Senior, what do you think of our suggestion? If you'd like to help, could you give us a hint?"

Zhang Xuanji bowed to the void.

"Please, senior, eliminate the Kunlun evil dragon!"

The old monk and the woman also bowed to the void.

Meanwhile, Su Ming, who was hiding in the clouds, looked down at the three people in surprise.

He thought for a moment, then casually pulled out a stack of purple talismans, divided them into two portions, and threw them down.

Swish!

Zhang Xuanji and the woman, who were waiting, were taken aback.

He instinctively took the stack of purple talismans that flew down from the sky.

"Purple talisman?"

Upon taking it, Zhang Xuanji exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap, senior, where's mine?"

The old monk became anxious when he saw that Zhang Xuanji and the woman were both there, but he was the only one without.

He quickly bowed.

Seeing how pitiful he looked, Su Ming casually tossed down a purple talisman.

The old monk grinned as he looked at the purple talisman that had fallen into his hand.

"This humble monk, Xuyun, thanks you, senior."

The Venerable Master Xuyun smiled and put away the purple talisman.

Although there's only one, it's certainly a good thing that a senior could give it to me.

He neither despises nor is jealous, because he is a Buddhist.

Since both Zhang Xuanji and the woman were from the Taoist sect, it's certain that they would give more.

Giving him a purple talisman would be an incredible stroke of luck.

One must not be greedy!

It's fine if it's there, but it's okay if it's not.

"Eight Purple Mansions, Senior is truly—"

Zhang Xuanji looked at the eight Purple Mansions in his hand, coughed twice, and put them away.

"We thank you for bestowing this talisman upon us, senior!"

The three of them bowed respectfully in gratitude.

After all, someone who can casually bestow a purple talisman must be an extraordinary master.

Meanwhile, Su Ming had already returned to the villa.

[Ding! You have an order from the heavens. Please check it promptly.]

I just got back, and the system notification came.

"Another mission has arrived."

Su Ming perked up and hurriedly opened the task panel.
