"This monster is afraid of this thing!"

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.

Although this object cannot subdue the demon, if Zhu Linlang holds this object, the demon will not dare to attack her.

This way, he can concentrate on dealing with the demons.

"Linlang, stay away first." Fang Yue ordered calmly.

Zhu Linlang nodded, without saying anything, and quickly retreated to a safe area in the distance.

She understood that at this moment, not causing trouble to Fang Yue was the best support.

Fang Yue watched Zhu Linlang leave, then turned to face the demon.

The demon stared at him with blood-red eyes, roared and rushed towards him.

Fang Yue's body was flexible and he avoided the demon's fierce attack by turning sideways.

Then the God of War, Vajra Body, and other techniques were used one after another, and Fang Yue's body and energy violently rioted, as if there was an invisible force surrounding him.

He dodged another attack from the demon at an almost incredible speed.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Yue activated the Vajra Body Kung Fu, and his body instantly became as solid as a rock, and his skin seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. No matter how much the demon's sharp claws tore at it, it was difficult to break through the defense.

The demon was obviously disrupted by Fang Yue's sudden change. It roared and tried to break Fang Yue's defense with more ferocious attacks.

However, Fang Yue was in an unusually brave state at the moment. Not only did he have an airtight defense, he was also able to launch fierce counterattacks in the gaps.

At the moment when the demon was negligent, Fang Yue seized the opportunity and unleashed a violent blow.

He gathered all his energy and swung out his sword. The sword energy was like a rainbow, and it struck the demon's vitals.

The demon tried to hide in horror, but it was too late.

Fang Yue's sword flashed, and the demon let out a shrill scream, then fell heavily and made no sound again.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, the battle was finally over.

He was about to put away his sword when he suddenly discovered that the sacred stone in Zhu Linlang's hand had flown over the demon's body.

The sacred stone gave off a faint light and slowly absorbed the demon's corpse. Fang Yue looked at this scene in surprise, wondering what the divine stone was doing.

As the demon's body was completely absorbed, the light of the sacred stone became brighter.

Immediately afterwards, the divine stone suddenly shot out a stream of pure power, rushing straight towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue subconsciously caught the power and felt a warm current pouring into his body, instantly spreading to his limbs and bones.

His body seemed to be baptized by this power, and every cell was full of vitality.

When the power dissipated, Fang Yue was surprised to find that his cultivation had improved to a higher level again.

He felt the surging vitality in his body, and his heart was filled with surprises.

Fang Yue put away the sacred stone and turned towards Zhu Linlang in the distance.

"So that's it. The function of this stone actually lies here. No wonder the prairie barbarians can 'create' so many temple warriors!"

Fang Yue looked at Zhu Linlang with a thoughtful look on his face, "This sacred stone can absorb the power of demons and then transform it into pure vitality for cultivators to absorb. This is simply a treasure for cultivators!"

Zhu Linlang also showed a shocked look after hearing this, "So, as long as we carry this sacred stone, we can continuously absorb the power of demons and improve our own cultivation?"

Fang Yue nodded, "Theoretically, this is true, but we also need to be careful. After all, this kind of power comes too easily and may be potentially harmful."

Zhu Linlang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded seriously, "I understand, we will use it carefully. So what should we do next?"

"First let's see if there are any remnants of this evil cult in this village! When we are done with the evil, we must kill all these people!"

Fang Yue said with firm eyes. At the same time, he looked around and observed the village that was eroded by the cult.

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's search separately and make sure to find all the hidden remnants of the cult."

The two acted quickly and began to carefully search every corner of the village. They know these cult remnants can be well hidden and need to be extra careful.

After a while, Zhu Linlang suddenly pointed to a dilapidated house and shouted: "Fang Yue, look over there!"

Fang Yue looked in the direction of Zhu Linlang's finger and saw a figure sneaking out of the broken house, holding a package in his hand, which looked very suspicious.

"Chase!" Fang Yue gave the order, and the two quickly chased the suspicious figure.

After a chase, they finally forced the suspicious figure into a blind corner. It was a middle-aged man with a haggard face and a panicked expression.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'll give you all this money, give it all to you?" the man begged for mercy in a panic.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other and saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes.

I'm afraid there won't be any ordinary villagers in this village.

With so much property on his person, I'm afraid this person is not a simple character.

Just as the two of them were examining this suspicious man, a cunning light suddenly flashed in the man's eyes.

He instantly took out a small black can from the package and threw it towards the two of them, while muttering something in his mouth.

Fang Yue, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Zhu Linlang and quickly backed away. At the same time, he waved a palm to knock away the small black can that was about to explode.

"Boom"

With a loud bang, the small black can exploded in the air, releasing a cloud of black smoke.

In the black smoke, countless tiny Gu insects flew out and attacked the two of them.

"It's a Gu insect!" Zhu Linlang exclaimed.

Fang Yue's expression remained unchanged. He had already activated his energy to form a protective shield to protect the two of them.

The Gu insect hit the protective shield, making a "crackling" sound, but could not break through.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Yue quickly approached the man, pointed his sword at his throat, and asked in a cold voice: "He is indeed a remnant of the cult! Damn it!"

The man faced Fang Yue's sword tip with a look of horror on his face. He said in a trembling voice: "Spare... spare my life! I... I was forced too!"

"Forced?"

Fang Yue snorted coldly, "If you are forced, can you help the tyrants and harm the innocent?"

Then, without waiting for the person to continue talking nonsense, he killed the person directly.

"Linlang, search him to see if there are any other clues." Fang Yue ordered.

Zhu Linlang went forward to search the man and found some silver coins and a treasure map from the man.

She handed the treasure map to Fang Yue, "Look, what is this?"

Fang Yue took the treasure map and looked at it carefully, with a solemn expression on his face. "This is actually a treasure map with a location marked on it. It seems that the cult has hidden something here."

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Linlang asked.

"Let's go take a look." A trace of determination flashed in Fang Yue's eyes, "The cult has something hidden here, which means this place is very important to them. Maybe we can find more clues about the cult, and maybe even find their lair."

Zhu Linlang nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The two held the treasure map, compared it with the surrounding terrain, and began to search for the location marked on the map.

They walked through the village, avoiding places where remnants of the cult might still be hiding.

The location marked on the treasure map is in a dense forest outside the village.

When the two came outside the dense forest, they saw mist lingering in the forest, giving people a mysterious and eerie feeling.

"We have to be careful, there may be mechanisms or traps here." Fang Yue reminded.

Zhu Linlang nodded and followed Fang Yue closely. The two of them walked cautiously into the dense forest, one behind the other.

Following the instructions of the treasure map, they continued to bypass one obstacle after another, and finally came to a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave is covered by dense vines, making it impossible to spot it unless you look carefully.

Fang Yue stepped forward, carefully observed the vine, and then pulled it open forcefully, revealing a dark hole.

The two looked at each other, then nodded, and walked into the cave one after another.

The cave was damp and dark, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.

They followed the passage deep inside the cave and soon discovered a huge stone chamber.

The stone chamber is filled with all kinds of weird clay pots, filled with colorful poisonous insects, which is creepy.

Some Gu insects were squirming in the pottery pot, making rustling sounds, as if they were telling something.

There is a strange and mysterious atmosphere in the air in the stone room, which makes people feel chilling.

"This is actually a place where Gu insects are cultivated!" Zhu Linlang exclaimed, with a trace of horror on her face.

In the stone room, in addition to the poisonous insects in the clay pots, they also found many human skeletons scattered on the ground, some of which still had traces of being bitten by the poisonous insects.

Obviously, these people were killed by Gu insects and then eaten until only their bones were left.

"These cult people actually use human flesh and blood to cultivate Gu insects!" Zhu Linlang said angrily.

Fang Yue's face was also very ugly, "These people are simply crazy!"

They carefully walked around the pots and bones and continued to explore deeper into the stone chamber.

As they walked further in, they found more and more dead people. Some corpses had not even been completely eaten by the Gu insects, revealing white bones and rotting flesh, exuding a disgusting stench.

Zhu Linlang couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose. She felt that her stomach was churning and she might vomit at any time.

But Fang Yue seemed not to be affected in any way. He frowned tightly and looked forward firmly.

They finally reached the end of the stone room and saw a black box placed on a huge stone platform. The box was covered with strange runes and exuded a mysterious and evil aura.

"What is this?" Zhu Linlang asked curiously.

Fang Yue did not answer. He walked forward and looked at the black box carefully.

He felt that the box seemed to contain powerful power, but at the same time it contained a deep evil.

Fang Yue took a deep breath, then carefully reached out and opened the box.

The moment Fang Yue's fingers touched the box, he felt a cold breath emanating from the box, as if something was waking up.

He felt a chill in his heart, but it was too late to take back his hand.

The box opened slowly, and a black light shot out from the box and shot straight to the ceiling of the stone room.

The entire stone chamber was illuminated by this black light as if it were dark night.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were both startled by this sudden change. They quickly took a few steps back and looked at the black box warily.

The black light gradually dissipated, and a black phantom floated out of the box. It had a vague human shape, but its face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of blood-red eyes shone in the darkness.

"What the hell is this?" Zhu Linlang asked in horror.

Fang Yue frowned, but he didn't answer because he didn't know what this black phantom was.

But he could feel that the evil aura exuding from this phantom was much more powerful than any remnant of the cult he had encountered in the village before.

The black phantom floated slowly towards Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, it opened its arms as if to embrace them.

Both Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang could feel a strong sense of oppression, as if they were being pressed down by a huge mountain and couldn't breathe.

Fang Yue knew that this black phantom was definitely not something they could deal with.

However, the black phantom disappeared immediately.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other, confused by the sudden disappearance of the black phantom.

They originally thought they would face a fierce battle, but they did not expect that the phantom would disappear so suddenly.

"What's going on?" Zhu Linlang couldn't help but ask.

Fang Yue shook his head, "I don't know either."

Immediately, Fang Yue looked at the box and saw a jade cicada lying quietly inside the box.

"This is..." Fang Yue looked at the jade cicada in surprise. He felt that the jade cicada emanated a mysterious and powerful power.

Zhu Linlang also came over to take a look curiously, "What is this? Is that why the black phantom appeared because of it?"

Fang Yue picked up the jade cicada and observed it carefully.

He found that the jade cicada was very beautifully carved and lifelike, as if it would fly away at any time.

Moreover, he could feel the powerful power contained in this jade cicada.

Fang Yue carefully held the jade cicada in his hand. He could feel the mysterious power contained in it, as if it was a sleeping ancient power waiting to be awakened.

He took a deep breath and tried to use his own energy to sense the jade cicada.

The moment his vitality came into contact with Yu Chan, he suddenly felt a strong vibration.

Yuchan seemed to come alive, and a huge flow of information rushed into his mind.

Fang Yue was shocked, but then he discovered that the information was an extremely profound martial arts secret - the Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique.

This magical skill is named after the Spring and Autumn Period, which means that it is constantly transforming like a spring silkworm, and is as stunning as an autumn cicada.

It is an extremely rare inner strength method that can continuously refine the practitioner's inner strength through practice, and ultimately achieve an astonishing transformation.

Fang Yue was overjoyed. This magical skill was undoubtedly a timely blessing for him.

He originally felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it was extremely difficult to go further.

But now this magical skill has opened a new door for him. (End of chapter)
