This Taoist Master is too Frivolous-Chapter 361 - 247: The Great River Sword Canon, Astonishing Wealth!

Chapter 361: Chapter 247: The Great River Sword Canon, Astonishing Wealth!

Boom!

Thunder rolled, a thunderous sound echoing in all directions.

In the depths of the Helan Mountain Primitive Forest Park, everything was bathed in a purplish hue.

Besides the thunder, the sky fire engulfed the giant elm tree at the centre, burning a patch of several tens of acres to black ash. The forest fire, caused by the sky fire, was quickly spreading every which way.

Below the earth, the mountain ghost turned into a yellow light, tirelessly shuttling about.

Wherever he passed, firebreaks appeared, stopping the spread of the fire.

This was the task that Xu Yang had assigned him…

Killing the tree demon was indeed important but if he destroyed the entire Primitive Forest Park in the process, that wouldn’t do.

Doing hard labor.

The mountain ghost didn’t utter a single word of complaint.

On the contrary, he was immensely relieved!

“Thank goodness, after I awoke, I heard some malicious spirits mention the Daoist with the hammer, today I didn’t offend him.”

“Otherwise…”

“I would be the one being bathed in the thunder and sky fire!”

The mountain ghost burrowed out and arrived at a small peak.

He glanced at the central location of the Helan Mountain Primitive Forest Park from afar… where thunder sparkled, and the sky fire roared, even from fifty kilometers away, he could feel the burning, unbearable heat!

Many yin spirits, malicious beings, and monsters had gathered around, watching from a distance.

“My god!”

A round-faced ghost, boxing out a melodramatic sigh exclaimed, “The Daoist with the hammer is potent? Even the old tree demon is no match for him?”

“Duh, if he wasn’t mighty, would he be so famous?”

“But… if he’s so mighty, why didn’t he just kill the tree demon?”

The one asking was a silly ghost.

He was trembling, looking at the thunder and sky fire in the distance, fear filled his eyes.

“You must be a newly awakened ghost, right?”

The round-faced ghost turned his head to look, and with a smile asked, “When did you die? And how?”

The ghost hesitated and said, “Please don’t ask about such private matters… I always hear you talking about how formidable the Daoist with the hammer is, is he really that powerful?”

At these words, many yin spirits and malevolent beings, including some hidden monsters, all looked over.

Their faces full of curiosity.

These yin spirits, malicious beings, and monsters were all newly born or newly awakened, never leaving the Helan Mountain for quite some time, naturally, they didn’t know about the outside world, and had not heard of the “Daoist with the hammer.”

The round-faced ghost cleared his throat and began, “The Daoist with the hammer is known to everyone in our Xi Xia territory… He cultivates the Dao, but his weapon of choice is a giant hammer weighing 13,500 kg…”

“Hiss!”

A ghost gasped, “13,500 kg? Isn’t that as heavy as Great Saint of Even Heavens’ Ruyi Golden Cudgel?”

The round-faced ghost rolled his eyes.

This ghost… doesn’t understand human nature!

Telling a story by exaggerating is normal, just like people often say things like “I’m so big,” “I did it eight times in one night,” can you take that seriously?

He continued, “Speaking of the Daoist with the hammer… Rumor has it he’s a psychopath, catching a yin spirit or malicious being, he usually tortures before killing. I know what you’re thinking, how can a Daoist torture a ghost?”

“You probably don’t know, the few wives of the Daoist with the hammer, are all female ghosts…”

“Also, someone had seen him referring to Lord Cui from the underworld as his brother, there are even rumors… that the Daoist with the hammer is the illegitimate son of the Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu City…”

In the distant forest, the cries of the tree demon echoed one after another, not ceasing for a long time.

This further validated the rumors about the “Daoist with the hammer” being a psychopath who enjoyed torturing “yin spirits and ghosts!”

“Hiss!”

A ghost sucked in a breath, meekly saying: “You… you don’t think the Daoist with the hammer will torture… then kill the tree demon, right?”

A silence suddenly fell over the scene.

The wind in the air seemed to have started spinning.

…

Xu Yang knew nothing about this.

He was only trying to squeeze out as much merit value from the tree demon as possible, and yet… he was once again being slandered by the yin spirits and malicious beings!

He sat in the chair, holding the talisman-brush, his strokes swift and smooth as he drew one talisman after another.

The elm tree was no longer displaying any greenery, but was completely charred, emitting black smoke non-stop, with small flames jumping around its branches, and electric arcs zapping around.

The face on the trunk of the tree no longer had its previous arrogance. It appeared extremely weak, fear in its eyes as it begged, “Master Xu, please spare me… I should not have antagonized you. I’m willing to serve you, under your command!”

Soon.

Fifty more talismans were drawn.

Xu Yang put down the talisman-brush, and holding the Supreme Purification Dharma seal, he stamped each talisman, chuckling, “What can I possibly use you, a tree demon, for?”

Having said that.

He scattered another fifty talismans.

“Ding!”

“The tree demon was shocked, merit value +1000, self-healing ability +1.”

“Ding!”

“The tree demon was shocked, merit value +1000, self-healing ability +1.”

“Ding…”

For a moment, a downpour of thunder and sky fire ensued, and the tree demon cried out in torment:

“Master Xu, spare me… I’m not far from taking human form, once I do, I can serve by your side…”
