Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Where the sea and the sky meet, a dot of blue floats on the water. Lu Xuan thought it was a small island, but when he slowly approached, he found that it was a giant beast as big as a mountain.

The giant beast was emitting a light blue light all over, and had nine huge eyes on its forehead. Tears flowed out every two or three breaths.

This was the first time that Lu Xuan had seen such a huge sea beast. He sensed that the other party had extraordinary cultivation. If it were in its prime, it would be comparable to the Jindan stage elders in the sect. However, it was extremely weak now, and was at the point of being at the end of its rope.

He stopped the flying sword, and deliberately protected Zhao Rui behind him, saying: "Let's be careful. The other party has extraordinary cultivation. We must not be fooled by appearances."

Zhao Rui hid behind Lu Xuan, poked his head out and said, "Master, he seems to be crying?"

As the two were talking, the low humming sound was heard again, with a mixture of joy and anticipation, and it was obvious that it was saying something, but due to the language barrier, it was difficult to guess the meaning.

"He seems... begging us?" Zhao Rui said.

Lu Xing looked hesitant, observed for a while, and said, "There really is no malicious intent. Let's go and take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed his toes and controlled the flying sword to rush towards the mountain-like sea beast.

After they flew for a while, they suddenly saw ripples in the distance, so bright that it was difficult for them to open their eyes.

Lu Xuan stopped the flying sword, made a hand gesture, wiped his eyes, and looked into the distance again.

On the vast sea, there were piles of dead fish floating, and the white light stretched endlessly into the distance. At the end of the dead fish, the originally blue sea water suddenly turned grayish yellow.

Countless dead fish entered the gray-yellow sea water, and their flesh and blood immediately melted away, leaving only a pile of pale fish bones.

Among those fish bones, a ridge-like tailbone is particularly prominent, just connected to the body of the blue giant.

The moment he saw the tailbone, Lu Xuan immediately understood what the sea monster wanted. It wanted to die quickly and hoped that he could help him to escape.

Lu Xuan sighed, pointed his toes, and steed his sword straight towards the sea monster's head.

When he got closer, Zhao Rui also saw the horrifying scene. He grabbed Lu Xuan's clothes tightly and said, "Master, is the big fish going to die too? That's why you're crying."

"Yes, the big fish is about to die, so it is crying."

A full quarter of an hour later, Lu Xuan finally flew in front of the giant beast. He looked at its nine huge eyes that looked like full moons and said, "Do you want me to help you break free from the enemy?"

"Woo..." The sea beast seemed to understand human language and responded immediately.

Lu Xuan nodded, pressed the flying sword, and flew straight to the top of the sea beast.

On the wrinkled skin, there were corpses of parasites everywhere. Some seemed to have died not long ago, while others had already turned into a ball of rotten meat. Just seeing it made one's stomach churn.

Lu Xuan waved his sleeves to clear a clear space, and stroked the ground with his hand and said, "Daoyou, with my realm, I cannot send you off, but if I can form a large formation with my Tianqing sword energy, I may be able to help you escape from the enemy."

"Woo... um..." The sea beast responded, and there was a hint of joy in its sad voice.

Lu Xuan nodded, then made hand gestures to control the sword and began to perform magic.

Mysterious runes flew out and landed on the skin of the sea beast, then immediately disappeared and merged into its body.

The rune followed the sea beast's meridians and eventually entered deep into its skull, hovering in front of a dark blue demon pill.

If an alchemy practitioner saw this demon pill, he would surely be ecstatic. With such a huge water-attributed demon pill, I wonder how many top-grade pills can be refined into it.

However, if you look closely, you will be very disappointed, because the energy in the demon pill has long dissipated and has no value at all.

Half an hour later, thanks to Lu Xuan's efforts, thirty-six runes were engraved on the demon pill, which coincided with the number of Tiangang. However, this seemed far from enough and could not help the sea beast complete its transformation.

"It seems that the formation needs to gather enough Earthly Fiends!" Lu Xuan frowned slightly and continued to cast his spell.

Everything was in order, but seeing that there were only a dozen runes left, Lu Xuan frowned.

At this critical moment, the magic power in his body was exhausted.

"Damn corpse poison!" Lu Xuan cursed in his heart.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a light blue mist suddenly appeared in the air around him. As soon as the mist appeared, many withered seaweeds seemed to be rejuvenated.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Lu Xuan was overjoyed.

The endless supply of spiritual mist restored the magic power in Lu Xuan's body. Runes were cast out again, and soon the number of seventy-two Earthly Fiends was reached.

"Done!" Lu Xuan laughed.

"Woo... um..." The sea beast felt the changes in its body and made a sound of joy.

At the same time, the blue mist became thicker again, and after reaching a certain critical value, it suddenly shrank toward the center and turned into two fist-sized balls of light.

In the middle of the light ball, two green liquids are constantly flowing, which makes people fascinated.

"The essence of life!" Lu Xuan blurted out.

He was so surprised because the essence of life is the innate vitality, which will quickly disappear after leaving the body and cannot be snatched away by brute force. For a cultivator, it is an opportunity that can only be encountered by chance.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Lu Xuan clasped his fists and bowed, then grabbed the light balls in mid-air, pressing one ball towards himself and the other towards Zhao Rui.

The sea beast whimpered in response, its breath weakened again, and its full moon-like eyes slowly closed.

Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly. He knew that he could not delay any longer, so he pulled Zhao Rui up and fled into the distance.

After walking about ten miles, Lu Xuan finally stopped. He took out a talisman and said:

"Fellow Daoist, have a safe journey." As he spoke, the talisman was thrown out and headed straight for the mountain-like head of the sea beast.

When the talisman arrived in front of the sea beast, it immediately turned into a white rune, flashed twice, and sank into the body of the sea beast.

The next moment, the demon pill in the sea beast's body became restless, emitting infinite white light, darkening the sky and the earth.

"Not good!" Lu Xuan was frightened and quickly turned his sword around and fled.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a violent shock wave swept across everything with the giant beast as the center, and everything turned into nothingness wherever it went.

On the sea surface, huge waves dozens of feet high formed and swept in all directions.

After a while, Lu Xuan, who was fleeing, was swept by a strong wind. His body immediately became unstable and he spun several times in the air before he stabilized.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Lu Xuan hurriedly asked about Zhao Rui's condition.

Zhao Rui's face turned pale, and after a moment he said, "It's okay, Master, is the big fish dead?"

"Well, he's freed!"

On the blue sea, the head of the sea monster had disappeared, leaving only half of its body still oozing blood, floating up and down in the gray-yellow sea water.

Hundreds of miles away.

The blue sea was calm. Li Tongzhen was sliding the boat, having already escaped from the ubiquitous stench.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from afar, and soon after, a gust of wind blew.

"They're not going to chase me again!" Li Tong was really frightened. He immediately bit his finger and started to perform a secret technique.

After a moment, Li Tongtong really smiled and said to himself, "I got rid of it. I really got rid of it this time!"

After this tightening and loosening, Li Tongzhen's tense nerves could no longer bear it. He yawned several times and fell into a deep sleep.

Before nightfall, Li Tongzhen slowly woke up. He looked inward and sighed, "If I can't find a suitable place to break through within ten days, I'm afraid I'll die."

Li Tong stretched lazily, mobilized the little magic power in his body, and sent it into the small boat below.

The boat was floating in the waves. Before it had gone far, Li Tongzhen suddenly felt a shock all over his body and shouted:

"I'll fuck you, Tianqing Sect Immortal Board."

From behind, a faint sword intent suddenly emerged. It was Lu Xuan who had been chasing him for many days.

Seeing that the two sides were only a few dozen miles apart, Lu Xuan hesitated. He looked at the last ray of sunlight and helplessly pressed down the sword tip, which fell onto the water.

“If the cold poison breaks out and he is killed again... this guy is lucky. If it were another quarter of an hour, he would have died today.” Lu Xuan shook his head and had to pick up Zhao Rui and put him on his shoulder.

After a while, the sun sank completely. The moment the sunlight disappeared, a cold and gloomy air immediately erupted in Lu Xuan's body.

With yesterday's experience, he was no longer panicked. He guided his magic power upwards and the cold air downwards, and soon an ice ship formed under his feet.

He received a gift from the sea beast during the day, and his magic power was flowing much more smoothly than before. He immediately allocated some of his magic power to push the ice boat forward slowly.

Lu Xuan's action was unintentional, but Li Tongzhen, who was not far ahead, felt uneasy. He hesitated for a moment, and finally took out another pill and swallowed it.

As the pill entered his stomach, the violent medicinal power immediately rushed to his limbs and bones, squeezing out Li Tongzhen's last bit of life and lifespan.

He knew that this was like drinking poison to quench thirst, but in order to save his life, he had no choice.

A new force surged within Li Tongzhen's body. He once again controlled his robes to escape, gradually leaving Master Lu Xuan and his disciple behind.

There was endless darkness ahead, and it seemed that the end would never be reached. Before he knew it, Li Tongzhen was left with only mechanical movements.

A night passed and the sun rose.

Li Tongzhen's eyes were bloodshot, and blurry, he saw an island.

A glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Is this the end?

Li Tong was like a spring puppet on the verge of being scrapped, slowly floating towards the green island.

Amid the sound of waves, the robes that were about to fall apart finally ran aground. Li Tongzhen struggled to stand up and stumbled straight to the beach.

He was limping and just as he reached the golden beach, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

After a long time, Li Tongzhen finally got up.

Blood oozed from his eyes and nose, and he kept wiping it, but it was never completely gone.

Suddenly, Li Tongzhen jumped up and ran wildly along the coastline.

Not far behind him, Lu Xuan fell from the flying sword. With a turn of his magic spell, the flying sword shot out with a whoosh.

A cold light flashed, and seeing that the flying sword was about to kill him, Li Tongzhen suddenly roared, his whole body tensed like chopsticks, and he fell headfirst.

"Hey! What's this trick? This guy has a lot of tricks, is he cheating again?" Lu Xuan changed his magic formula and suspended the flying sword in the air.

He walked slowly and cautiously towards Li Tongzhen.

For a distance of a full hundred steps, Li Tongzhen remained motionless, like a dead person.

Seeing that there were only five steps left, Lu Xuan was still worried and threw out a sword energy. The sword energy penetrated into Li Tongzhen's body, but he did not react at all, and even no blood flowed out.
