Chapter 010: The Trials of the Rakshasa (Part One)

Mortal, do you think you can deceive me

An invisible force instantaneously shattered this Buddhist treasure into pieces, the golden light vanished, and the barrier before me also disappeared.

The wooden box slowly opened, emitting a blood-red glow that was rich and intense. As the box opened wider, the blood light grew more pronounced. Finally, when the box was fully opened, the blood light emanating from within had dispelled the surrounding darkness, revealing the true form of the Rakshasa.

I was jolted awake by a kick, scrambling to my master's side. At that moment, the old iron man was pale, devoid of color, gasping for breath, resembling a candle flickering in the wind. If I had been in his place during that blow, I would surely have been pierced through the chest and met my demise.

This old man, who has been with me for four years and made me do the hard work, was severely injured while trying to save me. Yet I was powerless; for the first time, I felt my own helplessness and cowardice

Compared to the Blood Demon, the Rakshasa is like the difference between an ant and an elephant. Even though this soul body is incomplete, low-level ghostly deities like the Rakshasa will immediately have their souls scattered if they are touched even slightly

At that moment, Iron Old Man made his move

At this moment, I am truly facing the danger of death

Mortal, do you know what you are holding? If this thing is released, we will all suffer the consequences. The Rakshasa clearly feared the object in Old Iron Head's hand

Is a spirit with intelligence surpassing that of mortals truly so easy to deceive

Chattering... It is not easy for this Rakshasa to come to the human world, so naturally, I must have some fun. Since you have not found my true form today, I will certainly take this child's life.

This last hour feels to me as long as a year

He suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Rakshasa like a madman. However, after just two steps, he was kicked back by Li Yan.

I do not know whether the Purple and Green Twin Swords exist; they may simply be a fabrication from a novel.

At last, the clock struck twelve, and all the lights in the room suddenly went out

Tie Laotou took out a brown wooden box from his waist. The carvings on the box were exceptionally intricate. I glanced at it and was surprised to see that there were dozens of seals affixed to the box.

Because the Rakshasa did not leave at all

Uphold my righteousness, let it spread across the world, I alone am supreme, disperse at once

Wang Kunlun held a slender bottle in his hand, which was entirely black. The mouth of the bottle faintly shimmered with a dark, inky light, indicating its extraordinary nature

I saw countless ghosts appearing out of thin air, soaring through the sky, emitting thunderous roars

The demon-slaying staff suddenly radiated golden light, embodying dignity and righteousness

I let out a sigh of relief all at once, as my life was hanging by a thread

In an instant, the entire roof of the small house was reduced to powder. Thanks to the protection of the Demon-Subduing Staff and the presence of three great masters, I was unharmed.

The dark bottle suddenly emitted a deep blue aura, as if the spirits in the sky had encountered their nemesis. Countless vengeful souls were forcefully drawn into the bottle by this deep blue aura. Gradually, the sky returned to clarity.

However, the attacks of both individuals dissipated with a wave of the Rakshasa's hand

Tonight, the Rakshasa—Moran will personally come to take away the life of this insignificant mortal. I should feel honored. It is akin to being personally received by the central leadership and the librarian.

The Rakshasa is truly enraged this time, pointing a finger forward, directing it towards the demon-subduing pestle in front of me

At first glance, it is clearly a valuable contraband item

As I watched her finger about to press down for the second time, Iron Old Man suddenly blocked my way. I saw his tall figure tremble violently, and then I witnessed him spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood towards the sky. Some of the blood splattered onto my face, burning like fire.

Iron Old Man is indeed clever, having successfully deceived the Rakshasa in one fell swoop

Now, let me play a game with you. If I completely unravel the seal of this Blood Demon Soul Body, who will die first, you or I

The Rakshasa finally succumbed. Desperately shaking its head, it cursed while opening the gate to the underworld. In a swift motion, it slipped through the gate of the underworld and vanished.

However, is it really that easy to pass?

"Oh dear, where did I get this blood demon soul body? This thing is just a piece of chicken blood stone, merely enhanced by my spiritual power, making it shine a bit more," said Old Ironhead as he took out a large piece of chicken blood stone from the box

I certainly know what this is; it's just a soul body of the first generation Blood Demon! Old Tie Tou spoke lightly, but I felt a chill in my heart.

After a while, a sharp voice emerged from the darkness. The voice was piercing and cold, and upon hearing it, I nearly fainted. Fortunately, Old Iron pressed his finger against my temple.

"You can give it a try..." After Tie Laotou finished speaking, he gestured and began to silently chant a spell. The blood-red glow intensified. This time, even Wang Kunlun and Li Yan were taken aback.

I saw in the dark at https://m.hetushu.com, two old men calmly walked out, exuding the demeanor of masters.

I have gone mad

The object in Tie Laotou's hand is a soul fragment left over from the time when he competed with Changmei during the Blood Demon’s dispersal of power. This item is equivalent to a life of the Blood Demon

This time, two more individuals returned to the headquarters of the Tongtian Society. One is Wang Kunlun, who is the person in charge of the Shensu Hall mentioned earlier. The other is Li Yan, who is responsible for inventory at the Tongtian Society. I also forgot to mention that Tie Laotou is the head of the Tongtian Society's Magic Hall. Although their roles seem to be similar to those in the secular world, they are actually profound experts, each having lived for nearly a hundred years. Who among them does not possess some genuine skills?

This illustrates the disparity in strength, with no comparison to be made. Both individuals can be considered notable figures in the human realm, yet in the presence of such supernatural beings, they are utterly insufficient

In the end, the Tongtian Society returned empty-handed. This cannot be attributed to the lack of effort from the members of the Shensu Hall, but rather to the fact that Luocha was truly too cunning

Stop, make me stop, madman, I have never seen such a crazy mortal as you. You have won, this round you have won

Looking back now, if I could have lived to that year, I would definitely have stopped Iron Old Man from revealing the truth

Without any pause, Wang Kunlun and Li Yan acted simultaneously. In an instant, Wang Kunlun unleashed at least ten soul-binding charms, while the force of Li Yan's punches surged alongside the charms.

The Blood Demon of the generation, the ruthless one who flattened Mount Shu, the soul of this entity has also been acquired by the Tongtian Society

You old rascal, how cunning you are, haha! Everyone burst into laughter

I am aware that the Rakshasa excels in transformation

At this moment, Li Yan struck out, launching a punch towards the sky with his hand wearing a ring. To his surprise, a gust of wind was generated, and a fierce whirlwind began to swirl in the air, shredding and splitting the countless vengeful spirits beneath it.

Is it the Black Abyss Bottle? Unfortunately, it is too ancient. Here, I have countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts accumulated over two thousand five hundred years. I wonder how many you can collect!" As the Rakshasa spoke, countless vengeful spirits once again filled the black sky. Moreover, this time there were even more spirits, and they were more ferocious. Groups of them surged against the protective golden light of the Demon-Subduing Pestle, which began to sway precariously.

Time is passing, and it is already eleven o'clock in the evening. The Rakshasa has not yet arrived. He is waiting, waiting for the moment of midnight, when the yin energy is at its peak, to strike.

"You wouldn't dare, you absolutely wouldn't dare. If you were to do this, it would bring calamity to the entire land of Huaxia." The Rakshasa howled sharply, his voice filled with fear and coldness

Take care of your master

The appearance of the three great masters of the Tongtian Society brought me a sense of calm. However, there was not a hint of relaxation on the face of the old man Tie.

As soon as the words were spoken

However, Mount Shu truly exists, and to this day, there is still a lineage of Taoism in the mortal realm

Ah! Stinky monster

The master is also waiting, waiting for the Rakshasa to make a move, and then to eliminate it

At this moment, the Rakshasa saw the wooden box in Old Iron Head's hand, and for the first time, his expression changed, revealing extreme panic

Indeed, one becomes wise with age

She was a woman, a very beautiful woman, but at first glance, it was evident that she was not a living person, for she lacked any trace of vitality. Her beauty resembled that of a sculpture, and her eyes revealed a hint of malevolence

Old Tie, are you going to go all out on this? You've even brought out this diagram book! Li Yan and Wang Kunlun seem quite wary of the things Master has collected

Li Yan is dressed like a martial artist; although he is older, he exudes the demeanor of a master. He wears a particularly large thumb ring on his left and right thumbs.

That cold, sharp voice came again from the darkness

Both individuals are quite resilient; although they were initially shocked by the sound of the Rakshasa, they quickly regained their composure and took action.

The master acted swiftly, letting out a fierce shout as the demon-subduing staff was thrust forcefully into the ground, producing a sharp sound that resonated, empowering the staff with its essence

"Disciple, stay within the golden light of the Demon-Subduing Staff, do not go outside," shouted Iron Old Man

However, the master still scolded Old Wang, the person in charge of the Shensu Hall, relentlessly.

Old Wang, Old Li, are you not going to take action yet

After the two men approached, he shouted: "There are paths for men and ways for ghosts. Why must you press so hard? If I, as a member of the Tongtian Society, have done something wrong as a traveling merchant, you may certainly point it out."

The voice of Iron Old Man reciting the incantation grew louder, and the blood light became increasingly intense. I felt a surge of malevolence even stronger than that of a Rakshasa, sending chills down my spine

Wang Kunlun stepped forward, and the black treasure bottle in his hand suddenly opened, "Collect!"

Wang Kunlun and Li Yan both breathed a sigh of relief and immediately shouted at Iron Old Man: "You old immortal, you scared us to death! Where did you get the Blood Demon Soul Body!"

The facts tell me that we have all underestimated the complexity of the Rakshasa

At this moment, the madness reflected in Tie Laotou's eyes was overwhelming

Old Tiehead, you... ..." The two wanted to persuade.

However, as soon as this happened, all the talismans in the room turned to dust.
