Chapter 26 What is Yin and Yang?
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the energy is in harmony."
- "Tao Te Ching"
Tokyo, Kita Ward.
Mountains and forests.
The trees were green and the cicadas were chirping. This piece of land was full of life, the weeds and flowers on the ground were ankle-high, and there was not even a decent stone road in the forest, only a few shallow dirt roads, which were probably only used by forest rangers.
But there are advantages to being alone. At least the noise coming from the deep forest over there is drowned out - from a distance, it sounds even louder than the sound of cicadas.
Deep inside, there was dust flying all over the sky, and countless leaves and branches were swaying. There was also a rumbling sound that shook the mountain.
A white light flashed by quickly, followed by two thin streaks of golden and yellow light, which flashed away like a whoosh and broke through the wind.
Unexpectedly, there is a large open space in the forest, stretching from the hillside on this side to the bottom of the opposite mountain. However, due to its secluded location, few tourists set foot in such an open area.
At this moment, the flowers are good, the grass is good, and he is even better...they are on the same page.
…Anyway, this beautiful scene was occupied by a huge dark blue cursed spirit in the middle of the grass—
This guy is ten meters tall, with four legs and a tail, and two long tusks sticking out from the corners of his mouth. His long nose is like an elephant, slender and strong. The mane around his neck is thick and scary. His tail is like a broom whisk, with tassels at the end. Compared to ordinary cursed spirits, he seems more like a shikigami.
The sharp weapons were waiting for the opportunity to come out, suppressing the strange curse spirit at all times. A little further away from the strange lights, a thick curse power like ink was seen spreading, and underneath it, several curse spirits were shrouded. The bat curse spirits with bone wings emitting strange luster were pressed at the four corners to sweep the formation.
A few flying swords occasionally attacked the beast-shaped cursed spirit, but they passed through as if they were touching mist, only causing a few ripples.
"Jie, ordinary methods don't work!" A steady voice came from a distance of several dozen meters from the big guy.
The young man was wearing a dark blue college uniform, and his short hair was blown by the wind caused by the beastly curse spirit. He bent his left middle finger and ring finger towards his palm, and pressed his thumb, as if he was pinching the fingers. At the same time, he put two fingers together on his right hand and suddenly pointed at the tall curse spirit in the distance. There was a flash of light between his eyebrows, as if he was about to unsheathe his flying sword.
The beast-shaped curse spirit was now raising its nose and head, its two front legs off the ground, howling with all its might. However, the sound was not as deep and heavy as that of an ordinary giant beast - instead, it had a sharp and mournful feeling.
"Found it! I'll try another method!" There was a man standing a few dozen meters in front of the beast-shaped cursed spirit. He was dressed the same as the young man just now, with a strand of bangs floating proudly in front of his forehead.
There were two terrifying cursed spirits sitting at his side, and they had even fought several rounds with the big guy in front of him, but they were temporarily at a disadvantage.
In addition to this, there were a dozen or so ape-like cursed spirits jumping up and down on the big guy. Although they posed no actual threat, they did serve to distract the crowd.
"Ze, put some pressure on it!" Xia Yujie clenched his right fist and pounded his palm, while loudly conveying his request.
"Understood——" The young man with a Taoist aura was naturally Su Ze——
He had been ready to go. Before Xia Youjie finished speaking, the Qi in Su Ze's body rose to an outrageous level. The flying sword with a layer of Qi attached to it attacked again, and the weapon with even greater speed was obviously more lethal -
Su Ze keenly noticed that the curse spirit flinched when facing the flying sword's sudden increase in speed, and his eyes flashed.
This guy's ability to virtualize himself was not used unconditionally - he concluded.
Xia Youjie, who has always been meticulous, discovered this flaw, so the two of them looked at each other from a distance, nodded slightly, and understood each other tacitly.
Su Ze gave a low shout, and the three sharp swords increased their speed, moving back and forth like meteors. After hundreds of attacks failed, the Jin Qian sword wrapped in white Qi touched its body for the first time.
At the same time, a huge cursed spirit that looked like an eagle or a falcon flashed behind Geto Suguru. It flapped its wings at a very fast speed, creating a huge hurricane that overturned half of the grass in the distance.
The beast-shaped cursed spirit's mane flew back, its teeth were bared, and its feet seemed a little unsteady. It seemed that the flying swords were falling on it more often.
In the strong wind from the eagle curse spirit, countless dark needles flashed by, wrapped in black curse power, and shot indiscriminately towards a large area in front of them. Without a doubt, the beast-shaped curse spirit was the first to be hit.
However, the countless needles did not look like real objects. The black needles gradually disintegrated in the air, and when they flew to a distance of one foot in front of the curse spirit, they almost broke into powder. For a moment, all you could see was the sky full of inky black powder lingering around the curse spirit.
At the same time, the two quasi-first-level melee cursed spirits in front of Geto Xiayou rushed forward at the same time, and the fourth-level cursed spirits on the beast-type cursed spirits increased the intensity of harassment. The chirping and howling noises came one after another, and it was very lively for a while.
The beast-shaped cursed spirit was fine with everything else, but seemed to be terrified of the large patch of black ink surrounding it. It even rocked back and forth, trampling the grass into countless deep pits.
He is afraid!
Su Ze on the wing narrowed his eyes, and the number of hits from the flying swords began to increase visibly. The light between his eyebrows became brighter, and the red fire on his chest became more glaring.
But as the cursed spirit jumped back and forth, it kept uttering mournful and miserable cries from its throat - even making Su Ze look a little stern and his mind go blank for a moment.
Xia Youjie over there was also obviously affected. He held his head and shouted as hard as he could: "Ze, do it! This guy's mental attack is too strong. If we wait any longer, something bad will happen!"
Undoubtedly, the effect of the powder transformed from the ink needle was very obvious - that guy's virtualization spell was quickly depleted, and if he could hold on a little longer, he would definitely be able to defeat him easily... But the powder also consumed a lot of Geto Suguru's spell power, and with the interference of mental attacks, if he continued to drag it on, he might not be able to hold on any longer.
Thinking of this, Su Ze let out a long breath, and the seal in his hand changed again. Three flaming red flying swords flew out and aimed directly at the vital points of the beast-shaped curse spirit -
There seemed to be blazing fire in his eyes. The first flying sword was responsible for breaking the wind, and then there was another sword attached to the left and right. The three swords formed a small sword formation, and for a moment, the momentum was as strong as a rainbow.
The beast-shaped cursed spirit sensed the tremendous killing power coming from the side, and hurriedly cast a spell. This time the range was particularly wide, and for a moment even the other three flying swords were out of its reach.
Su Ze's expression changed slightly. He ignored the three red flying swords and rushed towards the curse spirit in an instant. At the same time, the images of the two yin and yang and eight trigrams appeared in his hands.
As for the three flaming flying swords that Li Gua was facing, they did not dodge the virtualization spells that repeatedly hit the wall of the other flying swords, but rushed forward directly.
The moment the first flying sword touched the spell, it stopped flying. It was obvious that the spell had taken effect on it. But at the same time, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the curse spirit, and its expression was almost human. Su Ze's mind also calmed down a little. He had already run to five meters away from the curse spirit, then suddenly jumped off the ground, raised his right fist in the distance, and attacked forward with the next two fiery red flying swords.
The spell that had just successfully eliminated the attack of the first flying sword seemed to have lost its effect in an instant. The next two red flying swords were like flying in an empty space. The carved patterns on the blades were particularly dazzling in the flames. They penetrated into the flank and chest of the cursed spirit, leaving a bloody mess.
Over there, the falling Su Ze launched an attack at the same time, smashing the Curse Spirit's jaw with his right fist wrapped in Qi and with a Yin-Yang fish pattern. The crisp bone fracture in the jaw was transmitted to Su Ze's ears, and the Curse Spirit's head was severely knocked off balance by the force.
Su Ze was sure that he had dealt it a heavy blow.
He was about to continue exerting force, but his body suddenly stiffened and he could not move at all. At the same time, his pupils suddenly shrank and he could not even blink.
Immediately afterwards, a dull beating sound came from inside, almost deafening - that was the sound of his own heart.
He only felt his heart suddenly tighten, and the chirping of cicadas in the woods, the roar of cursed spirits, and the sound of flying swords breaking through the wind all disappeared.
There was complete silence in my ears for a moment.
hum-
He has tinnitus.
The next moment, Su Ze felt his whole body suddenly tighten, and the excruciating pain of cramps and bone-tearing spread from his heart to his limbs. Su Ze even had difficulty breathing. Every pore in his body felt like it was being pricked by needles and was in unbearable pain. In less than a second, Su Ze's back and forehead were covered in cold sweat.
The flying swords of the Qian, Kun, and Dui hexagrams that were flying in the air suddenly stopped and then fell to the ground. Even the fiery red flying sword that had pierced into the curse spirit's body lost its power.
It wasn't just Su Ze. Xia Youjie, who was dozens of meters away, also felt severe pain in his chest and abdomen. The vibrations of the same frequency in the air almost shattered his internal organs. The cursed spirits he summoned were also eliminated at once. He grabbed his chest and knelt on the ground with a hideous look. His temples were soaked with sweat, his hair was sticky to his forehead, and he forced himself to look up at Su Ze.
Su Ze, who was hovering beside the curse spirit, had a dull look in his eyes and his whole body was tense to the extreme. A light spot flickered between the curse spirit's eyebrows, and the next moment, the light spot suddenly dispersed, and the huge light almost competed with the sun, and with a huge wave of energy, it pushed Su Ze away -
There was a huge explosion and roar, and the blinding white light obscured the entire vision——
thump.
Another dull and powerful heartbeat sounded, and Su Ze and Xia Yujie had just taken their first breath of air when a huge circular pit appeared in front of them, with all the flowers, plants and soil gone.
The surroundings were filled with the shrieks of frightened birds and the chirping of cicadas began again.
Xia Youjie knelt on the ground, still in shock. He stroked his chest and gasped, with beads of sweat falling in front of him.
