Chapter 81 A Genius, That's Me!
The Purple Bat Spirit opened his eyes, looked down at his black robe missing a corner, then at the golden seal in Eight Ounces' hand, and slowly grinned. His voice was soft, with an indescribable languor, as if the attack just now was nothing more than a child tickling him. He rolled over and landed on the ground, his black robe fluttering.
When Ba Liang's attack missed, his expression changed, and he quickly took two steps back, protecting the golden seal in front of him.
Without hesitation, Bai Suzhen flipped her wrist, and a long sword gleaming with cold light fell into her hand. It was the immortal artifact she had found in the Sword Tomb years ago—the Baiyi Sword with its pure white blade.
"Sister, let me help you!"
Xiaoqing also drew her Azure Rainbow Sword, a long, emerald-green sword whose light shone like water. The two women combined their swords, and two streaks of white and green light, like swimming dragons, slashed towards the Purple Bat Demon.
"Bai Suzhen, what are you doing?"
The purple bat spirit did not retaliate, but retreated swiftly.
Bai Suzhen did not answer. Bai Yi Sword was thrust out again. This time, the sword was wrapped with powerful spiritual energy. The light blue light on the sword body surged and went straight for the Purple Bat Spirit's chest.
Xiaoqing and the others worked together seamlessly. With the Azure Rainbow Sword, they slashed diagonally from the side, blocking the Purple Bat Demon's retreat.
Seeing that Bai Suzhen was treating him so lightly, the Purple Bat Spirit was filled with anger. With a wave of his right hand, a long sword fell into his palm. He flashed and weaved between the two sword lights. His swordsmanship was unpredictable and ghostly. Even Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, working together, could not do anything to him and could only barely keep him occupied.
Seeing this, Shen Yi dared not hold back any longer.
He held the broadsword horizontally in front of him, his magical power surging wildly into the blade. The golden runes engraved on the blade lit up one by one, and the entire sword emitted a deep hum. Then, he pushed off with his feet and shot out like an arrow.
With this strike, he used the heavy sword technique from the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The blade cut through the air, carrying an overwhelming momentum, and slashed straight down at the Purple Bat Demon.
The purple bat spirit casually raised its longsword to meet the attack.
clang!
The blade clashed with the longsword, sending sparks flying. The purple bat spirit remained unmoved, but Shen Yi felt a numbness in his hand, and the broadsword nearly slipped from his grasp.
"Humans?"
The purple bat spirit stared at Shen Yi, a hint of surprise flashing in its blood-red eyes.
Human? In the demonic realm? And they dare to lay a hand on him?
Shen Yi did not answer. He took a deep breath, and the runes on the blade lit up again. He then slashed out with his blade once more.
Purple bat spirit:————
No, you guys should say something!
For someone who is used to putting on airs, it is undoubtedly extremely uncomfortable when no one talks to them.
To what extent was Purple Bat disguised in the original storyline?
Xiaoqing's long sword was already at his neck, but he was too lazy to move, letting Xiaoqing tear off his waist token to save Xu Xian.
Of course, he did have the right to be pretentious. If it weren't for Xu Xian's tear that destroyed his sword and he was accidentally punished by the official seal, Bai Suzhen and her group might not have been able to escape the demonic path.
But this time, no matter how high his self-esteem was, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. As a defeated opponent of Master Ba Liang in the past, he knew how terrifying that official seal was, so he was always on guard.
Unfortunately, Ba Liang kept circling around the perimeter, forcing him to defend passively, which made Bai Suzhen's sword faster and faster. The Bai Yi sword in her hand turned into a white light, enveloping the Purple Bat Spirit.
Although Xiaoqing was far inferior, with Shen Yi's help, one of them used a green sword light like a venomous snake's tongue, specifically targeting the Purple Bat Demon's weaknesses; the other used powerful and heavy moves, aiming to continuously deplete the Purple Bat Demon's stamina.
"Now!"
The Purple Bat Spirit was forced back half a step by Bai Suzhen's sword. Her body staggered slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible flaw. Ba Liang suddenly pounced forward and slammed the official seal hard onto the Purple Bat Spirit's back.
This time, there was no disappointment!
The moment the official seal touched his body, righteous energy surged into the Purple Bat Spirit's body like a tidal wave. He let out a shrill scream, and his whole body began to twist and swell. Then, like a deflated balloon, he rapidly shrank, turning into a bat the size of a basketball.
Tsk, the demon core is shattered.
Shen Yi, who was standing to the side, sensed the faint cracking sound coming from the Purple Bat Spirit's body and secretly lamented the loss.
The entire cultivation of the thousand-year-old Purple Bat Spirit is contained within its demon core. If it can be extracted intact, it can be used as the energy source for armor.
Now it's shattered, only the corpse remains, at most it can be used to make soup.
Hmm, let's forget about making soup. How about we use it for alchemy?
Upon this thought, the alchemy techniques from the world of "Happy Seven Fairies" immediately came to Shen Yi's mind. That was the alchemy method of Laozi, although due to the difference in world levels, it might not be comparable to that of Laozi in this world, but refining immortal pills should not be a problem.
However, the corpse of the thousand-year-old purple bat spirit alone is not enough.
Shen Yi subconsciously looked at Xiao Qing, wondering if he should steal the dragon horn and use it to refine an immortal pill.
Ba Liang remained in the position of holding the seal, panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat. He looked down at the corpse of the Purple Bat Demon on the ground, then at the golden seal in his hand, and a slow grin spread across his face: "I killed him—I avenged my master—"
Bai Suzhen sheathed the Baiyi Sword, her expression calm, but a hint of regret and complexity lingered in her eyes.
In a sense, the Purple Bat Spirit was also her kindred spirit; however, while she pursued immortality through cultivation, the Purple Bat Spirit pursued immortality by absorbing yang energy to replenish yin energy.
Xiao Qing didn't seem to feel anything. She sheathed her sword, moved closer to Shen Yi, and stretched out her hand, her meaning clear: Where are my dragon horns?
"Ahem. Um, Miss Xiaoqing, are you interested in becoming an immortal?"
Shen Yi coughed lightly and casually put the corpse of the Purple Bat Spirit into his pocket.
"Become an immortal?"
Xiaoqing blinked. She wasn't really interested in becoming an immortal, but since her sister wanted to, she naturally wanted to follow suit. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you also know how to become an immortal?"
Have you heard the story of Chang'e?
"Never heard of it."
Shen Yi: ————
I almost forgot, this girl is a mountain demon.
"Does Fellow Daoist Shen possess some kind of elixir?"
Compared to the ignorant Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen, though devoted to cultivation, was not unfamiliar with human history and naturally knew the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.
"No, but I can refine it."
Shen Yi smiled confidently, "A true all-rounder, that's me."
"That amazing?"
Xiaoqing's eyes widened. She knew her sister had endured countless hardships to obtain a magic pill from Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Haha, it's not that difficult, and it can only lead to becoming a human immortal."
Seeing that Xiaoqing still looked confused, Shen Yi explained, "It's like that boatman we met before; his strength might not even be as good as yours."
To put it bluntly, he was at the level of a celestial soldier in traditional mythology. After all, the materials were limited, and the fact that he could refine the elixir was entirely due to his apprenticeship under Laozi.
"That doesn't seem to be of much use."
Xiaoqing was somewhat disdainful, thinking, "If your strength is inferior to mine, what's the point of becoming an immortal?"
"No, Xiaoqing, this elixir can dispel your demonic aura and allow you to achieve enlightenment."
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed with joy. If Shen Yi could truly refine the elixir, Xiaoqing would also be able to get back on the right path.
"Wait. Why are you telling me all this?"
Xiaoqing suddenly realized, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you for the dragon horn? How did it turn into me begging you for the elixir?"
She's just naive, not really stupid.
"I can't give you the dragon horn. The Purple Bat Spirit's demonic aura is too strong, and the dragon horn is needed to neutralize it."
Shen Yi shrugged.
"Alright then, an elixir will do."
There was definitely some disappointment, but then Xiaoqing thought that if she became a dragon while her sister remained a snake, she wouldn't want to transform into a dragon anymore.
