Chapter 56: Hungry

Xiao Yin smiled at Qi Xuansu, revealing two small fangs.

Qi Xuansu thought of Diswin's fangs and felt horrified.

Xiao Yin said softly, "Since we are here, we can't return empty-handed."

Qi Xuansu said firmly, "No. I am going to see Suzuka Gozen this time, and I can't cause any trouble."

Xiao Yin said in a pleading tone, "I promise I can eat them all, and there won't be any trouble."

Qi Xuansu said angrily, "Let's not talk about whether you can eat them or not. This place is located in Ise, and the seal is most likely set by Ise Shrine. If we destroy the seal, won't we alert the enemy and expose our whereabouts to Ise Shrine? When the Shrine comes to hunt you down, you can survive from the Emperor Willow, but I can't die and start over again."

Xiao Yin pouted, staring at Qi Xuansu with her big black eyes. I don't know if it was Qi Xuansu's illusion, but the little face in front of her was a little distorted.

Qi Xuansu was startled, thinking that the little girl might have been influenced by Fenglinzhou. After all, this land can turn living people into monsters, and Tamamonomae and Yamata no Orochi are no exception, not to mention Xiao Yin.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, as if thousands of ghosts were crying, blowing Qi Xuansu's clothes and shaking the surrounding trees.

There was another faint sobbing sound, which was very light and echoed in the dense forest, like light smoke and mist, going straight into people's ears.

Qi Xuansu's body suddenly stiffened, his back felt cold, his scalp was numb, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

This time it was really a disaster.

In an instant, the surrounding trees became twisted, and human faces seemed to grow on the trees, and all kinds of weird smiles appeared on the faces, which were eerie and terrifying.

Qi Xuansu shouted loudly, "Blood Roar" was like thunder, which dispersed the fog in the forest and also shook the leaves in the forest. The human face on the tree suddenly showed a twisted and painful look, and gradually became illusory, as if it was going to dissipate.

The essence of magic is to pretend to be real, and the more sophisticated it is, the more realistic it is. The means by which these trees transform themselves are not sophisticated, so they were dispersed by Qi Xuansu's shout.

The "body spirits" around Qi Xuansu lit up one after another, shining brightly, which was particularly dazzling in this deep and gloomy dense forest.

Then, Qi Xuansu punched the trunk of a big tree, not only was the whole tree broken in half, but also a black gas rose from it, and under the burning of blood, it made a hissing sound, and a faint wailing sound came, which soon disappeared.

Qi Xuansu did the same thing again, breaking all the big trees with human faces.

At this moment, a tree nearly three meters high rose from the ground, pulled its roots out of the ground, and began to move slowly, like a person pulling his feet out of a quagmire. At the same time, many vines swept towards Qi Xuansu from all directions.

Qi Xuansu punched non-stop, and his punches were as sharp as swords, breaking the vines one by one.

It was a pity that he did not learn the "Five Thunders and Heavenly Heart Orthodoxy". As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty. If Zhang Yuelu was here, he would only need a few thunder methods to break these ghost trees, without having to use such a stupid method.

The next moment, countless vines were tangled into a strand, turning into a giant whip as thick as two people hugging, sweeping towards Qi Xuansu's waist.

Qi Xuansu pulled out the "Fei Yingbai" and found the weak point of the vines in an instant with the "Magic Knife" and cut it down with one knife.

With a loud bang, the whole forest seemed to shake, and countless leaves fell one after another.

The "giant whip" collapsed into vines.

Countless human faces appeared on the trunk of the giant tree. The eyes were originally closed, but they opened at the same time, with only the whites of the eyes, densely packed and creepy. The branches turned into dry hands like eagle claws, constantly stretching and grabbing Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu swung his knife to cut it off, but these branches could regenerate continuously and recovered in an instant.

This is the monster "human face tree".

According to records, a man's beloved woman died and he was in great pain. As a result, he listened to the words of the evil ghost and planted the woman's head in the backyard of the house. After forty-nine days, a tree grew. After a hundred days, the tree bloomed. After a year, fruits grew. They were all human faces of women, which led to the government to encircle and suppress the monster tree. In the end, the man and the human face tree disappeared in the flames.

In the middle of the trunk, there was a huge human face, surrounded by other human faces. The big mouth opened and spit out many things similar to seeds. These seeds also had human faces. They screamed and rushed towards Qi Xuansu like a locust plague covering the sky.

Qi Xuansu did not dare to be careless. He turned his body, and the "Nine Yang Fire Cover" hanging on his waist shook violently. After being infused with magic power, several red fire dragons were born, which swam around and burned many seeds to ashes.

Qi Xuansu reached out and touched his waist, and grabbed the "Nine Yang Fire Cover" in his hand. Although "Fei Yingbai" was not a sword and "Nine Yang Fire Cover" was not a copper bell, it also looked a bit like a Taoist priest who could subdue demons.

At this moment, Xiao Yin suddenly blurred and turned into a ball of black mist, mixed into the surrounding environment, and floated towards the human-faced tree.

The human-faced tree focused on Qi Xuansu and did not notice Xiao Yin's movements. It continued to wave the withered hands made of vines and branches to attack Qi Xuansu, and at the same time, it also produced huge ground thorns to attack from underground.

Qi Xuansu was not afraid of the human-faced tree. He kept striking with his sword and constantly activated the "Nine Suns Fire Cover", gradually gaining the upper hand. However, this human-faced tree was at least a demon of the first level of a heavenly being, and now it had an advantage in terrain. Qi Xuansu would have to spend some effort to take it down.

At this moment, Xiao Yin, who had turned into black mist, appeared behind the human-faced tree and blew a breath of corpse gas at the back of the human-faced tree.

The corrosiveness of corpse gas was extremely strong. In a blink of an eye, a large hole was corroded on the trunk of the human-faced tree. The inside was hollow, and a woman's head-like object could be seen beating like a heart.

The human-faced tree felt pain, and nearly a thousand human faces on it wailed in unison.

Xiao Yin stretched out his hand and grabbed it, directly pulling out the "tree heart", and then his mouth opened as wide as a well in an instant, swallowing it whole and burping.

The human-faced tree was hit hard, so it naturally returned to defense, and all the vines swept towards Xiao Yin. But Xiao Yin succeeded in one move, and did not stay in place at all, and had already turned into rolling black mist and drifted away.

The vines of the human-faced tree fell, and the human faces on the trunk continued to wail, and countless vines were waving randomly, and there was no order.

Qi Xuansu took this opportunity to rush forward, pierced the "Fei Yingbai" in his hand into the big mouth of the largest human face of the human-faced tree, and then stirred it vigorously.

The human-faced tree had been severely damaged by Xiao Yin's heart being stolen, and it could no longer resist Qi Xuansu's attack.

Qi Xuansu held a knife in his right hand and held the "Nine Yang Fire Cover" in his left hand, which produced a raging fire that enveloped his fist. Then he punched the trunk of the human-faced tree three times in a row, and the fire and blood were all coming down, causing the branches to shake and the leaves to fall. Blood flowed out of the seven orifices of the thousands of human faces. The trunk was even more "crackling" and was shattered by Qi Xuansu's martial arts.

In a blink of an eye, all the vines of the human-faced tree withered, and the originally green leaves also turned yellow and fell like rain, eventually turning into a twisted dead tree.

Qi Xuansu pulled out the "Fei Ying Bai" and looked at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin was gently stroking her stomach: "It's not bad to have a snack, but I'm still not full."

As she spoke, she looked at a certain place again.

Qi Xuansu was startled and looked at it.

As expected, the stone tablet was still the same.

In other words, the human-faced tree was not a monster suppressed by the stone tablet, but a guard responsible for guarding the stone tablet. It was probably a shikigami left here by an onmyoji, but now it was killed by Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin.

What's more terrible is that after all this trouble, the red lines that were intertwined like spider webs were also destroyed.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to open the seal, but under Xiao Yin's encouragement, he gradually opened the seal.

Xiao Yin said happily: "Brother, can you help me break this stone tablet? I will listen to you after I am full."

Qi Xuansu's face sank: "You are so powerful, just break it yourself, why ask me?"

Xiao Yin pouted: "This stone tablet is strange, it is specially used to restrain Yin objects, I can't get too close. But brother is a heavenly warrior, with vigorous blood, he will not be affected, just one punch is enough."

She pulled Qi Xuansu's sleeve again, half coquettishly and half begging: "One punch, just one punch."

Just then, a woman's voice sounded, speaking the language of Fenglinzhou: "Who are you? What are you doing in the forbidden area? Did you destroy the formation outside?"

Qi Xuansu turned around and looked.

A witch in a white top and red skirt and pants appeared outside the forest, with a high ponytail, heroic and heroic, with a bow and arrow in her hand, pointing at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was about to explain something, but the witch had already seen the destroyed red line and the human-faced tree that had turned into a dead tree, and her face changed drastically: "Do you want to destroy the seal?"

Before she finished speaking, she released the bowstring and shot an arrow.

In an instant, it broke through the air.

Qi Xuansu did not dodge and was hit in the heart by the arrow, but he had the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", and the feather arrow hovered for a moment, and then shattered into pieces.

The witch's face changed slightly, and she drew the bow and arrow again without hesitation. The longbow in her hand produced a black and white aura, which circled around her for a week and converged on the feather arrow. There was a black and white ball on the arrow head that grew rapidly.

This time, she did not point to Qi Xuansu's heart, but to the position between Qi Xuansu's eyebrows.

Qi Xuansu no longer tried to resolve the misunderstanding, put away the "Nine Yang Lihuo Cover", took out the "Painted Dragon Hand Gun", and aimed at the witch at the same time.

The witch looked calm, as if she didn't see the musket in Qi Xuansu's hand. She loosened her finger on the string and shot the second arrow.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu didn't show any mercy and pulled the trigger to fire the musket in his hand.

A flower of blood bloomed on the witch's chest, and she staggered back.

Qi Xuansu stood still. Although he had tried his best to turn his head away with the instinct of the "magic knife", he failed to completely avoid it. The feather arrow almost grazed his face and tore a horrifying wound on his face, and he could see the white teeth and bloody gums.
