Chapter 26

Lu Li pushed his hands forward, and a milky white energy slowly floated out, forming a three-inch talisman in the air. The talisman emitted a faint glow, and a character suddenly appeared at its center.

If someone recognized the small seal script, they would immediately see that it was the character "镇" (zhèn), meaning "suppress."

Apart from the visible talisman, there was no sound or grand display.

Only those who faced the Demon Suppression Spell directly could truly feel its terrifying power, like the young girl Wanwan now.

Her face was deathly pale, and her entire spiritual energy was completely locked, making it impossible for her to move even a finger.

As the talisman drifted closer, Wanwan's black eyes suddenly turned blood red, and two sharp fangs appeared at the corners of her mouth. Behind her, several tail-like shadows flickered into existence.

In this state, her strength skyrocketed, and she finally managed to move.

She struggled to raise her arm, and a yellow talisman appeared in her palm. Looking at the talisman, her eyes were filled with reluctance. But she knew very well that if she didn't use the talisman, she would be sealed.

In the legends of her clan, there were four major suppression spells in the world: the Demon Suppression Spell, the Ghost Suppression Spell, the Spirit Suppression Spell, and the Evil Suppression Spell.

These four major suppression spells were passed down by the Heavenly Emperor to the human race. They did not require cultivation or spiritual energy; one only needed to know the corresponding hand seals and sacrificial methods to use them.

In other words, even ordinary humans could use them, and they were ineffective against humans themselves.

She never dreamed that Lu Li, a modern person from the city, would know the four major suppression spells and use them without hesitation. Didn't he know the consequences of doing so?

The thought of regret flashed through her mind, but as she took out the talisman, her fear lessened. She forced out a drop of essence blood and sprayed it onto the yellow talisman. The talisman glowed brightly, instantly enveloping the girl.

The Demon Suppression Spell arrived almost simultaneously, colliding with the talisman's glow.

Sizzling.

The two met, producing a not particularly loud but extremely piercing sound. The milky white and yellow electric lights collided, entangled, and mutually annihilated.

Wanwan clearly underestimated the power of the Demon Suppression Spell. Although the talisman was also extremely precious, it could not match the Demon Suppression Spell.

In just a moment, the Demon Suppression Spell, which had shrunk by half, burst through the circle of light and shot toward the girl.

Instantly, points of light radiated from the talisman, forming lines, and finally creating a glowing silk cage.

"Ah!"

Wanwan trembled and extended her hand. As soon as her delicate hand touched the silk, she let out a painful cry and quickly pulled it back.

The silk cage seemed to be enraged, and its range continuously shrank, as did Wanwan's body.

As her body shrank, her strength gradually weakened.

Suddenly, her eyes shot out a brilliant red light. If she didn't fight now, the only outcome would be to be sealed. As for how long she would be sealed, only the person who created the four major suppression spells would know.

"Ah."

Thinking of this, Wanwan let out a sharp scream. Her nails, painted in seven colors, rapidly grew, and she moved her hands like a madwoman, striking the silk with beams of light.

On the other side, Lu Li had already collapsed on the ground, watching the girl's desperate struggle with a bitter smile.

He had learned the four major suppression spells on the day he became a Taoist priest.

On the day the spells were passed to him, Daoist Xuan Yun had said, "When you encounter an evil spirit you cannot defeat, or when your spiritual energy is insufficient to continue fighting, and you are about to die, use the four major suppression spells."

However, he also warned him: "Do not use them unless absolutely necessary, as activating the sealing spell requires soul power."

Soul power cannot be replenished and is only related to one's innate talent. The consequences of excessive consumption are extremely severe: at best, a decline in realm and reduced insight; at worst, direct soul annihilation, a death beyond death. Even if one survives by chance, their realm will forever stagnate.

This is probably the greatest drawback of the four major sealing spells: their power is incomparably strong, but the cost is unimaginably severe.

Given Lu Li's skills, which couldn't even touch a single hair of the other party, the fact that Wanwan still couldn't resist the Demon Suppression Spell after he used it speaks volumes.

"I hope this seals her."

With this thought, Lu Li could no longer control himself, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Time passed, and through relentless effort, Wanwan gradually gained the upper hand. With a cry, the silk cage shattered into points of starlight.

She took a deep breath and inhaled the starlight like a stream, which she absorbed into her stomach. Her originally pale face quickly turned rosy.

If not for her disheveled hair and the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, it would be hard to tell that she had just faced a life-or-death crisis.

Wanwan raised her hand to tidy her hair and looked at Lu Li, muttering to herself with a complex expression, "Fortunately, the talisman consumed half the power of the Demon Suppression Spell; otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped this time."

However, she soon became excited, licked her lips, and walked toward Lu Li. After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around angrily, "Who? Come out."

Before her words were even finished, a figure appeared from the corner of the parking lot. If Lu Li hadn't been asleep, he would have been shocked to jump up, for the person was none other than Xia Qingxuan.

At this moment, Xia Qingxuan had a ponytail and was wearing a white Adidas tracksuit, looking remarkably spirited.

Xia Qingxuan quickly noticed the unconscious Lu Li on the ground and immediately looked furious.

With a single hand gesture, she produced an ancient-looking sword. Pointing the sword at Wanwan, she said coldly, "Last time you ran to Hai Da and I stopped you. This time you openly harm others. What do you have to say for yourself, demon woman?"

"Openly harm others? Which eye did you see me harm anyone?" Although Wanwan was somewhat nervous, she didn't back down verbally.

To deal with Lu Li, she had indeed gone to Hai Da, but unfortunately, she was stopped by Xia Qingxuan as soon as she entered the dormitory area. She couldn't act in public, so she retreated and later decided to capture Zhang Jian to lure out Lu Li.

After all, her strength was about the same as Xia Qingxuan's, and she wouldn't gain any advantage in a fight. As for Lu Li, if he didn't know the Demon Suppression Spell, he would be nothing more than a piece of meat in front of Wanwan.

Xia Qingxuan clearly knew that she wasn't a match for Wanwan in a verbal duel. She coldly snorted and formed a sword seal with her left hand.

"Whether you have harmed anyone or not, this is a human city, and it does not welcome your kind. Since you don't have the aura of blood and slaughter, I will spare your life, but you must leave immediately."

"Little girl, I come and go as I please. Do you think you can stop me?" Wanwan winked at Xia Qingxuan and laughed.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for acting. Watch this."

Xia Qingxuan's eyebrows furrowed, and from a distance of more than five meters, she swung her sword. A sword shadow flashed, and a crescent-shaped white light instantly arrived, producing a hissing sound as it rubbed against the air.

Even under normal circumstances, the two were evenly matched, let alone now.

Wanwan looked at Xia Qingxuan with a strange expression. She moved her feet, and her figure suddenly drifted away. In a flash, she had disappeared from the parking lot.

"Little girl, wait until I recover, and we'll have another showdown."

Hearing Wanwan's message, Xia Qingxuan stomped her foot in anger.

In terms of direct combat, she might not defeat Wanwan, but she definitely wouldn't lose. However, Wanwan's escape skills were very strong, and with her current strength, it was difficult to catch up.

"Damn, don't let me see you again."

Xia Qingxuan looked furious, then lowered her head to look at Lu Li, pulling out a porcelain bottle from her pocket.

"Hmph, you're not a good person either."

She cursed as she bent down, pinched open Lu Li's mouth, and poured a pill into it.

After doing this, she looked at Lu Li's slightly pale face, her expression changing.

"Hmm."

The pill's effect was miraculous. In less than a minute, Lu Li softly hummed, his eyelids fluttering as he was about to open them.

Xia Qingxuan's face changed drastically, and she quickly stood up and fled.

At this moment, Lu Li's eyes were already open, and he vaguely saw a figure flash by. The figure seemed familiar. He shook his head and muttered in surprise, "No way, could it be her? How is that possible?"
