Chapter 6: Taking medicine has risks, taking medicine requires caution
After another night in a corner of the city, Chen Yi continued his aimless journey. As for really going to find Yuyuko Saigyou, don't even joke about it! With his current self, what could he do even if he found her besides completing his task? What if he was mistaken for someone looking for trouble and got killed by Yuyuko on a whim?
Anyway, there's no time limit, so Chen Yi is happy to be carefree, as for finding someone... let's talk about it later.
"Holding a kitchen knife to cut the electric wire, sparks and lightning all the way! La la la! I'm a newspaper delivery boy......" humming out of tune, walking along the road, it seems like he's been walking for a long time? Why is everything around him either rocks or forest...
I'm going! Is Japan that desolate? After walking for half a day, I didn't even see a single person, let alone a bird's feather. Chen Yi ruthlessly smashed the watermelon in his hand and rolled around on the ground without any dignity (acting cute?).
Ahhhhh! What's going on here?! Am I supposed to be stuck in this desolate place?! No, no, no!! Keep rolling around... Who cares if nobody sees me anyway?
After rolling around on the ground for a while, Chen Yi got up and patted off the dust (although he hadn't gotten any on him), forget it, might as well continue on his way. If only he had a map, that would be great!! Chen Yi thought wistfully.
He shrugged his shoulders, hung down his waist, Chen Yi walked step by step, and the fruit in his hand was also eaten occasionally. The invisible black air was emitted from Chen Yi's body! Emitted...
He smashed the remaining watermelon in his hand into pieces (poor watermelon...), Chen Yi knelt on the ground, looking extremely decadent. Oh heaven! Is it really my fate to be trapped in this desolate place? Heaven, I will hate you for life!
Ahhhhh! I'm going to defy the heavens!! I want to go out!! Is there anyone around?! Even a monster would do......
Chen Yi fell into a state of emotional loss.
Just as Chen Yi's mood was down, two small ball-like things rolled to his feet.
What the heck is this?! The two small beads had just attracted Chen Yi's emotions, which were already at a low ebb, and suddenly burst open, releasing a thick purple mist that enveloped Chen Yi tightly.
Cough! Cough! With a cough, Chen Yi rushed out of the thick fog. Nima, this is toxic gas! Chen Yi, who had rushed out of the thick fog, was dyed purple all over his body, and at the same time, he felt that his physical condition was rapidly deteriorating.
Chen Yi hastily pulled out a bottle of antidote and poured it down his throat, causing the purple color on his body to disappear.
Needless to say, someone must have come to launch a sneak attack again. This time, only one person came, and he looked very familiar, similar to the leader of the warriors that Chen Yi defeated yesterday, but appeared to be older. Needless to say, this was definitely someone seeking revenge.
However, what has been puzzling Chen Yi all along is that in an era where people are scarce, why do messages spread so quickly? Moreover, Chen Yi himself doesn't even know where he is, so how did they find him, and every time it's when Chen Yi least expects it... This isn't scientific!
Looking at the person in front of him, it goes without saying that he must be a so-called demon slayer. Looking at this demon slayer drawing out the long knife from behind his back and pointing it at Chen Yi, just about to open his mouth to speak.
"I... was forced to leave my own little nest, and then I was driven here! Now you people keep coming one after another to provoke me! You're courting death!! Tremble under my shadow!!" Before the exorcist could even open his mouth, Chen Yi had already picked up his gear and charged towards him.
"Frenzy of Blood! Mind Aura Surrounds! Mountain-Crushing Strike!"
Chen Yi leaped high into the air and chopped down towards the Demon Vanquisher, as he fell, a red glow flashed on his body, enveloping Chen Yi.
Awesome!
"Ridiculous!" The Demon Slayer burst out laughing, "How could this move possibly hit me?" The Demon Slayer leaped backward, dodging Chen Yi's slash, and swung the long knife in his hand, intending to cut down Chen Yi.
"Damn it." Chen Yi saw that the demon hunter had only slightly retreated his body and dodged the slash.
As the sword blade struck the ground, eight blood-red shockwaves spread out in all directions like sharp blades. As the shockwaves expanded, they continued to grow larger and larger, and even the Exorcist was caught off guard by this sudden attack.
Come on!
Upper cut is a basic skill in the game, but no one can ignore it. 90% of combos start with upper cuts. If we rank the skills of Ghost Swordsman, upper cut undoubtedly occupies the first place!
The exorcist, who was knocked down by the uppercut, was shocked to find himself unable to move. A force paralyzed his body, "How is this possible!" The excessive shock caused the exorcist to shout out loud.
"Heh heh!" Watching the exorcist being knocked flying, Chen Yi thought of the thrill of PK in games. Now it had become a real-life PK, which should be even more thrilling!
As his body fell, the exorcist also felt his own body recovering control. Once he landed on the ground, he would be able to fully regain control over his body. That damned monster! I must kill you! The exorcist thought to himself, still nursing a grudge from their previous encounter.
Will Chen Yi let him have his way? Chen Yi's dual blades danced wildly, slowing down the Demon Slayer's descent. As he watched the Demon Slayer's body about to hit the ground, Chen Yi followed up with a rising slash, but this time it only sent the Demon Slayer flying far away.
After all, it's reality, not a game. Chen Yi felt sorry that he couldn't knock the exorcist flying again. As for trying again? Maybe next time, the first time was successful because the exorcist didn't understand him, so he was able to launch a surprise attack.
Looking at the demon hunter who got back up, Chen Yi felt a sense of helplessness. When he chopped down the demon hunter earlier, Chen Yi had discovered that there was a faint layer of white light attached to the demon hunter's body, which deflected his slash. As a result, the demon hunter only suffered minor injuries, and if it were an ordinary person, they would have been sliced into seventeen or eighteen pieces by now.
"Damn you, monster! I'll definitely kill you! Kill you!" The exorcist shouted loudly, looking at the bleeding wounds on his body.
"Hmph! Is this what you call a loser's roar?" Chen Yi said provocatively without hesitation.
Cough! The Demon Slayer suddenly spat out a mouthful of old blood, "You! You! This is what you forced me to do." The Demon Slayer took out a bottle filled with red medicine and gulped it down in one go.
What's wrong? Taking medicine?
The exorcist's breath suddenly surged violently after drinking the potion, his entire being looking ferocious to the extreme. "Hahahaha! What a powerful strength! Haha! Die, you monster!"
The empowered exorcist leaps over to Chen Yi's side, wielding a long sword imbued with spiritual energy and slashing at him.
Block!
Ding! A crisp sound, where the two weapons collided, sparks splashed out, and Chen Yi was also knocked flying far away.
I'm going! You're really getting carried away now! Looking at the muscle of the demon hunter bulging again, Chen Yi silently cursed.
I have it too! The crimson color began to spread throughout Chengyi's body, and with the demonization, the frenzied war factor began to take action. With a wave of his hand, Chen Yi charged towards the exorcist.
Come on! Let's see who is stronger!
Clang! Clang! Clang! The weapons continued to collide, and the wounds on the Demon Hunter's body grew more numerous. Don't forget, the Shadow Sword has a rather sinister additional effect - an extra 30% damage.
Although the two people's weapons kept colliding, 30% of the extra damage still fell on the Onmyouji. As time passed, the wounds on the Onmyouji also increased one after another. Chen Yi had also taken many knives, but his recovery ability was good. At the same time new injuries appeared, old wounds had already healed seven or eight tenths.
Rise up, Zhen Yi's transformation is his own power, but the Exorcist's power is borrowed. Who is stronger and who is weaker will be clear at a glance.
The exorcist's mind had already begun to become unclear, although his mouth was still shouting: "Kill you! Kill you!" and other energetic and crazy words, but it could not be denied that the exorcist's power had already started to decline, and his body had also begun to age at a visible rate.
Retsuha Zan!
The exorcist who was pulled in front of Chen Yi by the slash of the rift wave, after being slashed by the lower slash of the rift wave, immediately burst into a dazzling light. Several red sword energies squeezed and rotated around the exorcist, who let out a shrill cry of despair before being knocked flying far away.
The demon hunter who had fallen to the ground was now an old man at the end of his years, unable to get up again. With a final cry of "Kill you!", he closed his eyes and died, his body rapidly decaying like sand in the wind.
Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine, what kind of medicine is this?! It's deadly! Taking medicine has risks, taking medicine requires caution... Chen Yi thought to himself.
"Ding! You have killed a Demon Hunter. Your reputation among humans has greatly increased (negatively), and from now on, ordinary people will no longer dare to provoke you."
This feeling is great! It's much quieter from now on.
"But you will face many demon hunters and monk seals, host continue to work hard!"
Chen Yi's face immediately turned black, you TM played me! Lord God.
Facing the pile of "relics", Chen Yi started searching, was it just murder and robbery? Which protagonist hasn't done that? Let's see if he can find a map or something, Chen Yi didn't want to be stuck here as a savage forever.
He tossed the broken sword aside, gazing at the large sword covered in cracks. He looked at the two medicine bottles in his hand, one was empty and the other was full. Should he keep it? Remembering the fate of the demon-slaying master, Chen Yi's face turned dark. With a crunch, he crushed both medicine bottles into powder. The liquid slowly seeped into the ground. Chen Yi didn't want to end up like others, killing someone else only to die himself.
As the rubbish decreased, Chen Yi finally found the most important thing - the map. At that moment, Chen Yi's eyes were filled with tears. Oh heaven! I thank you for my whole life! Completely throwing away the thought of hating heaven just a short while ago, holding the map in his hand, Chen Yi had an unstoppable momentum, as if he could conquer the world.
Unfold the map, and the most eye-catching place is a large green area, which must be the forest where Chen Yi crossed over. With the reference of the map's indication, Chen Yi quickly determined his location. In fact, he was not far from the human survival place, but Chen Yi had been circling around all along...
The map marked many places where humans lived, the three big words "Xī Xíng Temple" on the map attracted Chen Yi, wasn't Xi Xing Temple where Youyouzi was? Youyouzi shouldn't have sealed the Western Demon yet, why not go take a look?
He quickly shook his head, shaking off this terrible idea. Going now would be absolutely asking for death, and a hopeless one at that.
Never mind for now, Chen Yi put away the map and headed towards the nearest human gathering point.
