When Heavenly Yaksha saw my reaction, he was pleased with himself. His face, which was covered in black liquid, revealed a strange smile. His ugly face now looked even more disgusting.
At this moment, Tong Tong, who had been hiding behind me, ran over and helped me get up from the ground. She sobbed and asked me how you were doing.
From the expression on her face, it could be seen that she seemed to feel very guilty for her rash actions earlier.
I shook my heavy head and forced a smile to show her that I was all right.
To prevent Tong Tong from worrying and to prevent Heavenly Yaksha from attacking us again, I had to use all of my strength to prop myself up.
At this moment, Heavenly Yaksha still had its ugly face on. It was just that it was surprised that I was still able to stand up.
However, he seemed to recognize that I was on the verge of collapsing. He wasn't in a hurry to deal with me. Instead, he turned to look at Tong Tong.
Its piercing gaze caused Tong Tong's body to shrink.
Her natural restraint was fully displayed at this moment. Tong Tong's previous attack didn't work. It was enough to show that there wasn't only a difference in power between them, but also an innate fear of her.
Now that Heavenly Yaksha had targeted Tong Tong, it must have noticed that she was a Yin Fetus.
The Natural Yin Fetus was a rare treasure, and it was a rare tonic for ghosts.
I hadn't encountered such a situation before because Tong Tong was much stronger than those ghosts. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't do anything.
But now, the situation was different. Although Heavenly Yaksha was also a ghost, it lived by devouring ghosts.
If it had its way, its power would increase greatly. At that time, the Spirit Sealing Tower wouldn't be able to hold it anymore.
With that thought, I pulled Tong Tong behind me and asked her to return to the jade bracelet.
Although Tong Tong was innocent, she understood what I meant.
She pulled my arm, tears welling up in her eyes. "No, brother. I promised Sister Hua Hua that I would protect you."
Then, she walked away. I hurried to pull her back. I rubbed her head and whispered, "Don't worry. I'll be all right.
For Big Sister Hua Hua, Big Brother will kill this monster. "
After listening to me, she hesitated for a while. Then, she nodded and asked me to be careful. She turned and flew back to the jade bracelet.
After she left, I felt at ease.
If I leave Tong Tong here, not only will he not be of any help, he will also face greater danger. I won't be able to focus my attention on dealing with this Yaksha.
When Heavenly Yaksha, who was not far away, saw Tong Tong vanish in an instant, his eyes glazed over. Clearly, he could not react in time.
In the blink of an eye, his gaze locked onto the jade bracelet on my chest.
It wore an evil smile. Holding the bone sword in its hand, it swayed as it walked toward me.
Looking at its appearance, it must have used up a lot of energy under the control of the seal. However, it was still much better than my current state.
Seeing that it was about to reach me, I backed away while trying to think of a solution.
At this moment, I was the only one left facing off against Heaven Yaksha. I didn't expect such a situation.
If Fatty was here, he might be able to use the formation to help me resist for a while.
Thinking about this, I suddenly realized that I had a helper with me.
I immediately called the serpent spirit. In the blink of an eye, the serpent spirit appeared in front of me.
When he saw that I was in such a sorry state, he was surprised and asked, "Eh? What happened to you?
Who bullied you? Tell your Lord Long and I'll help you beat him up. "
Hearing his tone, I didn't pay much attention to it and pointed at the Heavenly Yaksha that was getting closer.
The serpent spirit looked in the direction that I was pointing at. When he saw the Heavenly Yaksha, he shuddered and shouted, "What the hell is that thing? It looks so scary!"
I told him about the situation here and asked if he could kill this Heavenly Yaksha.
When the serpent spirit heard what I said, he pointed at the Heavenly Yaksha before pointing at himself. His face was filled with shock. "It can't be. You want me to bite that ugly thing? I can't bring myself to do it."
Seeing that the Heavenly Yaksha was getting closer to us, I didn't have time to talk nonsense with him and said sternly, "Could it be that you've eaten too many ugly things from that old witch?
If you can't handle it, help me hold him back. I need to recover my strength. "
After saying that, I kicked him away and sat down cross-legged. I closed my eyes and held the jade bracelet tightly with both of my hands to absorb the dragon aura from it.
Due to the Celestial Master's seal being struck by the black light, the Veins of the Heaven were slightly damaged. Currently, the recovery was much slower than before.
Moreover, I was worried that the serpent spirit would fight seriously, so I couldn't focus on recovering my injuries.
When a dragon roar resounded in the surroundings, it was most likely that the serpent spirit had transformed into his original form. This meant that he was fighting against the Heavenly Yaksha. Only then did I calm down and focus all my attention on recovering the Veins of the Heaven.
As a large amount of dragon aura from the jade bracelet entered my body, the Veins of the Heaven that were slightly damaged started to recover after being stimulated by the pure aura. However, the recovery speed was much slower than I had expected.
I didn't know how much time had passed, but the Veins of the Heaven were only seventy to eighty percent healed. If it wasn't for the serpent spirit's incessant urging, the Veins of the Heaven might have completely recovered.
However, this seventy to eighty percent was enough for me to use the Xuan Yuan Sword.
At this moment, I opened my eyes and saw the serpent spirit fighting against the Heavenly Yaksha. Both of them were wounded, and they seemed to be evenly matched.
I had thought that the serpent spirit wouldn't be able to completely suppress the wounded Heavenly Yaksha, but it would be able to win at least one or two points. I hadn't expected this.
I seized the chance to take the Xuan Yuan Sword out of my mouth and urge the Dao energy in the Veins of the Heaven to wrap the sword. Then, I ordered the serpent spirit to retreat.
The Heavenly Yaksha seemed to realize that the situation wasn't good. He immediately wanted to entangle the serpent spirit so that I wouldn't be able to attack him.
However, he didn't expect that the serpent spirit would transform into his human form and jump behind me.
At the same time, the Xuan Yuan Sword was ready to attack. It carried a golden light and aimed at the Heavenly Yaksha's face.
The Heavenly Yaksha saw that he couldn't dodge, so he immediately used his wings to wrap his body. Unexpectedly, he couldn't resist the sword and fell from the sky.
As soon as he landed, the Heavenly Yaksha's body turned into a mass of black mist that gradually dissipated in the air.
I stood on the spot and didn't move forward. I looked around vigilantly in case the Heavenly Yaksha came back to life. After confirming that there was no movement around, I heaved a sigh of relief and slumped on the ground.
The serpent spirit sat next to me and exclaimed, "It was so dangerous. If I had been a second slower, I would have been captured and taken hostage."
Then, he asked, "Why didn't you ask Tong Tong to deal with it? She's so powerful, so it would have been easy for her to deal with this thing.
I didn't know what was going on, but you kicked me away. I almost lost my life because of you. "
I just smiled when I heard his complaints. I didn't mention what had happened earlier.
If he knew that Tong Tong wasn't his match, he wouldn't be so obedient in the future.
That was why I needed Tong Tong to suppress him at all times.
After the previous battle, especially after using the Xuan Yuan Sword, I didn't have any Dao energy left in my body.
I didn't know if there were other things on the first floor, but the most important thing now was to adjust my condition and recover my strength.
Thinking about this, I closed my eyes and began to meditate. I absorbed the dragon energy from the jade bracelet to recover.
The serpent spirit felt bored and returned to my back after sitting next to me for a few minutes.
The dragon energy circulated in my body for more than ten cycles before the damaged part of the Meridian of the Heaven was repaired.
This was far from enough as the Dao energy in my body was still in an empty state.
However, after the Meridian of the Heaven was repaired, it would be much faster to replenish my Dao energy.
When I woke up, I found Tong Tong sitting in front of me. She was looking at me blankly with a worried expression on her face.
When she saw that I had woken up, she immediately said, "Brother, you're finally awake.
I sensed that the monster's aura was no longer outside. It seems that you've defeated it.
However, I realized that you were adjusting your breathing, so I didn't want to disturb you. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better? "
I rubbed her head and told her that my body had recovered. I told her not to worry. She nodded and asked about my next plan.
After hearing what she said, I didn't rush to respond. Instead, I stood up and stretched my muscles. After realizing that the soreness in my body had disappeared, I said, "Let's first look for a place to go to the second floor."
After searching for a long time on the first floor, we found a metal door in a very inconspicuous place.
The metal door looked very simple and unadorned. There was no trace of rust on it, but it was very sturdy. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't move it in the slightest.
Seeing that the exit was right there, but I couldn't do anything about it, the joy in my heart disappeared.
I sat in front of the door and carefully examined it.
Since we were currently in the Spirit Lock Tower, only a Buddhist magic tool or incantation could open the door.
Although I didn't know about Buddhist incantations, I did have a magic tool on me.
Thinking about this, I took out the Reclining Buddha beads from my Xiang Liu pouch and walked towards the metal door.
As expected, the moment the beads got close to the metal door, they immediately reacted.
The beads that were emitting bursts of golden light continuously rotated in the air. Then, I knocked on the metal door three times.
After doing this, the beads returned to their original state and returned to my hand.
At the same time, the metal door in front of me slowly opened with a creak, and bursts of Buddhist light shot out from inside.
