The Mysterious Republic of China, the Ultimate Martial Saint!

Chapter 76 Demon Extermination Soul

Seeing the old monk's strange appearance, Jin Rong and the others quickly put some distance between themselves and the old monk.

If you encounter a strange situation, do not approach it immediately, but maintain a safe distance.

This is the conclusion Jin Rong reached about saving his life after reading books related to the supernatural.

At this moment, in their eyes, the old monk seemed to have gone mad, talking to himself and contradicting each other, completely oblivious to the eerie green phantom above Jin Rong's head.

Because it is something that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Only people like Yang Jian, who possess special eyes, can see these things.

That eerie green phantom was like a ghost, not a physical entity.

"The tree spirit has been parasitizing you for too long, and you're getting old; the life force within you is about to dissipate."

"Let me see you off on your final journey!"

Yang Jian sighed softly.

The old monk's condition was not good, which was not only related to the parasites but also to his advanced age.

Even without the tree demon, the old monk is about the right age!

Conversely, the fact that the old monk is still alive is actually related to the parasitic tree spirit.

The tree spirit parasitizing his body didn't want the old monk to die so soon, so it fed back some power to him, keeping him alive.

However, this also caused the old monk to begin to develop into a demon.

However, the old monk's situation was different from that of the woman with the red talisman, and his methods were relatively gentler. Therefore, although his appearance did not change much over the years, he had definitely begun to become demonic inside!

This is exactly the situation the parasitic tree spirit wanted to see.

The parasite will eventually take over the host's body.

"Thank you for your trouble, benefactor..."

"My lord, please don't kill me! I really know where the three-hundred-year-old tree heart is. It's three hundred meters from the exit of Huayan Temple towards the locust grove..."

"You fiend, you have harmed so many monks in my temple, you should atone for your sins..."

"Old monk, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you. I don't want to die yet. Once the demon in the house is dead, I can go from being the secondary master to becoming a demon myself..."

Unlike the old monk who calmly faced death, the parasitic tree demon inside the old monk's body still wanted Yang Jian to hold back.

Seeing that Yang Jian did not respond, it continued to struggle frantically.

Suddenly, beams of green light appeared above the old monk's head, indicating that the tree demon was trying to break free from the old monk's body.

Without the old monk's restrictions, it would still have a chance to survive.

The old monk simply clasped his hands together, chanting scriptures, and dragged the parasitic tree demon along, making it difficult for the demon to escape.

Parasites require certain conditions to exist, and they also need certain conditions to break free from nature.

It's not something you can just come and go as you please.

At that moment, a sword flashed and pierced the old monk's head, instantly killing him.

It was Yang Jian who took out the Demon-Subduing Sword he had prepared and stabbed it directly into the old monk's head, or more precisely, into the body of the parasitic tree demon.

The moment it pierced through, the Demon-Slaying Sword flashed with dazzling golden light, eliminating the parasitic tree demon.

"Aaaaaah!"

The parasitic tree demon roared wildly and struggled desperately, but it could not break free from the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Wherever the golden light from the Demon-Slaying Sword passed, it shattered the limbs of the parasitic tree demon.

The parasitic tree spirit disappeared into the golden light after it was completely covered.

At this moment, a ball of light suddenly fell out of the old monk's body and flew directly into Yang Jian's body.

"May you rest in peace."

Yang Jian drew his demon-slaying sword, and the old monk's corpse fell to the ground.

He knew that the old monk was determined to die and had controlled the parasitic tree demon that was still trying to resist; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill the parasitic tree demon so easily.

Within the white orb above the parasitic tree demon's head were two white attribute points. Based on Yang Jian's experience in killing strange creatures, this parasitic tree demon was still quite threatening.

Even with all the preparations, it will still take some time and effort.

"Second Young Master, should we cremate the old monk's body?"

Jin Rong asked cautiously.

Although he couldn't see the parasitic tree demon inside the old monk's body, he could still hear the mournful cry that rang out from within the old monk's body at the end.

This situation must be caused by a strange and eerie monster!

In fact, when Jin Rong saw the old monk's appearance just now, he thought the old monk was a strange monster!

Jin Rong thought of Yang Jian's methods for dealing with those strange things before, and that's when he asked.

Furthermore, Yang Jian certainly didn't bring so much lychee wood with them just for decoration.

He was more familiar with burning corpses than killing these strange monsters, and it was also safer.

"Just leave it in an open area in the yard and burn it!"

Yang Jian nodded slightly.

The old monk's corpse has already begun to turn into a demon. If it is buried in the ground, it will not decompose in a short time. If it is left to rot over the years, there is a possibility that it will become a corpse again. It would be simpler to just burn it.

In Buddhism, most people are cremated after they die.

No matter what the old monk did in his lifetime, and how many people in the temple died because of him, he still managed to hold off the parasitic tree demon in the end, allowing Yang Jian to kill the parasitic tree demon with relatively easy means, saving him a lot of trouble.

Since that's the case, he let the old monk rest in peace after his death, without leaving a corpse to cause any more trouble.

Jin Rong and the others acted quickly, and a raging fire burned in the cleared space in the courtyard, where the old monk's body gradually disappeared.

......

"You slut, you slut!"

"After the demon soul split, the split soul actually dared to betray the main soul."

"Damn it, damn it."

"After the demon soul split, it suddenly lost its sense of touch. I thought the split soul had been destroyed, but I didn't expect it to be parasitizing and hiding in the old monk's body. It even wanted to wait for me to die so that it could take my place."

"Don't even think about it."

"The reduced power returning to the original body over the years is also due to the division of the demonic soul."

"You bitch, you deserve to die, you should have died long ago!"

Inside the wooden Buddha statue, the spirit suddenly sensed the death of the parasitic tree demon and was immediately fed back a large amount of power, instantly making the tree demon inside the statue understand everything.

The demonic soul it had previously separated was meant to help it escape its predicament.

Unexpectedly, this demonic spirit betrayed its own kind and went into hiding, attempting to turn the tables and take over the main body of the locust tree.

If its main soul hadn't yet dissipated, and its original body hadn't allowed the divided soul to take over, then its differentiated demon soul might have actually succeeded!

"Hehehe, the bitch is dead, yet she has given back so much power."

"Good riddance to that bitch!"

"It's fascinating how much power is being fed back in return."

"More, more..."

The wooden Buddha statue shimmered with green light, and its face showed a look of contentment.

At this moment, golden light emanated from the stone Buddha statues inside the room, but it could not stop the aura of the wooden Buddha statues from growing stronger. Instead, it caused cracks to appear on the stone statues, and the cracks grew larger and larger.

Seeing this, the wooden Buddha statue became even more arrogant!

Like it, its power has weakened over the years, and so has the defensive power on these Buddha statues, which has also weakened considerably.

Without external assistance, it would truly perish completely under this seal in a few years!
