Chapter 29: Evil Master
Jiashan suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint green light was cast on his flawless face. He flicked his sleeves, and the dust and fallen leaves flew away, but the light of the skull was still there.

Instead, he himself suddenly felt as if he had been shocked and his face turned pale.

"Master Jiashan!" Chi Jiangdong hurried forward to support him.

Chi Jiangdong has traveled around the world and has heard many anecdotes and legends.

He frowned and asked uncertainly, "You are the only one in Jiuzhou who knows the magic of Butu. Are you... a celestial master?"

Master Wu smiled wickedly and disdainfully: "Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Master?"

"With your mortal means, are you qualified to break my sky lantern? This sky lantern is now connected to your lifeblood. If it is damaged, you will all be destroyed. If you forcibly break it, you will indirectly take your own lives."

In the Kyushu continent, there are people with extraordinary magic. They use the skills of physiognomy, heavenly masters, and the Eight Trigrams. They are independent factions and are rare and secretive. Although they have unusual abilities, they seldom intervene in court disputes in the past.

I don’t know if it’s because something happened to the Grand Master of Jing State that these people with evil intentions are ready to show up.

Master Wu did not answer this question. He said, "You are unlucky. I only wanted to deal with Xu Shanshan, but you chose to break into the formation and die."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Shanshan, and at the same time pulled off his hood, his vicious eyes filled with hatred.

"Do I look familiar to you? Xu Shanshan, you and Wang Chengling killed Xie Zhoumu and my brother Qi Sha together. You must pay with your life today!"

"Mountain!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Maomao tried to force his way out, but was pushed back into Xu Shanshan's arms.

It was a coincidence. If it was something else, Xu Shanshan would not care, but Master Wu chose this life-consuming formation. Her life was already bad, and now she was being sucked away in the formation, and her life was shortened at an extremely fast rate.

"Xu Shanshan, your master is a divine fortune teller, you must have learned how to break the magic of Qimen!"

Chi Jiangdong only knew how to wield a sword, and had no idea about such obscure arts as the mysterious arts and the strange arts, so he was at a loss as to what to do.

However, Xu Shanshan did not answer. She had been acting strangely since the beginning and had been silent.

Chi Jiangdong looked back curiously and was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

Wasn't he so strong that he could move freely among the enemy troops before? Why did he look so ugly now?
Although Xu Shanshan looked like she was about to die, her face did not show any fear or panic that a normal person would have.

She smiled palely but coldly and said, "Countless people have died at my hands. If you want to pay with your life, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for it in this lifetime."

"You are about to die, but you are still stubborn?"

As if seeing through her spent strength, Master Wu raised his arms and an invisible black gas flew out from his sleeves and wrapped around Xu Shanshan.

Seeing this, Jiashan pushed Chi Jiangdong away and stood in front of Xu Shanshan.

court death!

"Nosy monk!"

Master Wu saw that his eyes were pure and clear, but he was not moved at all, and he remained steadfast in his inner thoughts.

Jiashan's limbs were tightly bound, and at the same time, a cold air seemed to penetrate his body. A thin layer of frost formed on his face, and the light of the sky lantern gradually dimmed, which meant that he could not hold on for much longer.

A cold light flashed in Chi Jiangdong's eyes. He took out his knife and slashed at the blackness, but it went through without hurting anything.

That’s right, how can physical attacks interrupt spellcasting?

He looked resolute and calm. If that was the case, he could only kill the person who did it.

He raised his head, and suddenly flew into the air, shooting out a sword with all the power he had gathered. The powerful energy was like the rising sun, full of explosive power, which made the confident Master Wu subconsciously hold his breath and step back several steps.

Fortunately, the sky lantern formation was strong and was blocked at the last bit of distance. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground, and Chi Jiangdong was inevitably hit by the recoil and vomited blood.

Just a little bit, just a little bit!

Now that Jiashan was tied up and Chi Jiangdong was injured, and seeing that no one could stop them, Master Wu looked at Xu Shanshan with resentment.

"Next, it's your turn to go on the road!"

Xu Shanshan had been ignoring everything around her. She took out a pair of small scissors and two sheets of white paper and was concentrating on cutting paper figures.

It was just such an ordinary paper-cutting act, but it made her already pale face even paler with every cut.

Until the two paper figures were completely cut out, they had noses and eyes, just like real people's facial features and bodies.

Maomao pecked at her fingertips with his sharp beak, and blood flowed out. She left a mark of blood on his forehead, and they immediately turned into two beams of light, quickly replacing Chi Jiangdong and Jiashan.

When the paper man turned into nothing, Chi Jiangdong and Jiashan both returned to Xu Shanshan's side, and they looked at each other in surprise.

The serious injury just now was actually offset when the paper man was replaced.

Miraculously, everything was fine on their side, but something was clearly not right on Xu Shanshan's side.

"What happened to you?"

Seeing her weak and shaky appearance, Chi Jiangdong and Jiashan reached out to support her at the same time.

She said: "People's lives can be long or short. Mine just happens to be the shortest."

Hearing this, Jiashan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

She looked at him: "It means that I am dying."

Jia Shan's hand tightened, and he frowned and asked, "Is it because of this formation? How can we save you?"

She smiled carefreely and said, "You can't save me. Only the magical instruments that increase blessings and prolong life can help me. But now we are trapped here..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "You don't have to worry about me. You were all caused by me in the first place, so even if I use up my last bit of life, I will help you escape."

Thinking that she was so weak just now, but still spent all her energy to save them, the two of them felt guilty and uncomfortable.

Jiashan suddenly thought of something. If it was a magic weapon... He glanced at the string of nine purple phoenix eyes on his wrist: "This is the Buddhist beads given to me by Abbot Jialan. I don't know if it can help you."

Of course.

Xu Shanshan refused righteously: "This thing must be something important to you, I can't..."

Jiashan took it off and put the Buddhist beads on her hand sincerely and naturally.

Immediately, a pure and vital force surged into her body, and the rapidly fading vitality was relieved, and her cold body finally began to warm up.

Chi Jiangdong hesitated for a moment, and also pulled off the red rope around his neck. A jade-faced Guanyin was tied to the red rope: "Is this useful to you?"

Of course there are.

Xu Shanshan widened her eyes slightly: "..." Did her luck suddenly get better?

I thought I could only get a Nine Purple Phoenix Eye from Jiashan, but I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise, one get one free?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chi Jiangdong hesitated for a moment, and finally hung it around her neck: "My mother said it is a magic weapon that will bring good luck and blessings to people. I will lend it to you first, and you can return it to me later!"
