The Lone Walker

Seeing that the bearded man was unmoved, Fahai frowned and tried hard to resist the attack with his Zen stick.

On the other hand, he secretly took out the demon-subduing pestle hidden in his clothes and shot it towards the bearded man at lightning speed.

Unfortunately, the bearded man's nine-toothed rake danced at this moment, covering up all the flaws on his body...

"Dang..." With a crisp sound, the demon-subduing pestle broke.

This is also an inevitable result. In the original novel, Bai Suzhen's Bai Yi Sword could fight against the Demon Subduing Pestle to a draw. At this time, the Nine-toothed Rake was made by Taishang Laojun himself. It was inevitable that the Demon Subduing Pestle would have such an end.

Fahai couldn't help but feel heartbroken upon seeing this. He didn't expect that he had just awakened the power of his three magic weapons and yet he suffered such a loss. It was hard for him to accept it for a moment.

However, facing the bearded man's pressing, Fahai had no way out, as the magic weapon was destroyed. The staff in Fahai's hand paused for a moment. Seeing this, the bearded man quickly seized the fleeting opportunity and knocked the staff in Fahai's hand to the ground with his nine-toothed rake, then kicked Fahai several meters away. Fahai was seriously injured and vomited blood.

The bearded man had no mercy on the other party. A murderous look flashed in his eyes, and he smashed the other party's crown with his nine-toothed rake. If this hit hit, Fahai would surely die.

At this critical moment, the boy in the Guanyin picture scattered around Fahai flew out and blocked the fatal blow for Fahai.

"Mr. Envoy, please calm down and show mercy..." The boy bowed to the bearded man and said.

"Hmph, little kid, get out of the way quickly. Your grandfather Ba Liang never kills women, children, the elderly or the young..." Upon seeing this, the bearded man also shouted harshly.

Seeing this, the boy knew he was no match for the enemy, so he said, "My Lord Messenger, if you want to save Bai Suzhen, go find the Iron Tree Immortal before she dies. As long as you can make him bloom and bear fruit for you, Bai Suzhen still has a chance of survival. Otherwise, when the sun rises, Bai Suzhen will be dead..."

The bearded man heard this and saw that it was almost dawn. He was afraid that Bai Suzhen would not be able to hold on any longer, so he said, "Hmph, monk, I will let you go this time. If I see you killing innocent people again, I will send you to hell."

So the bearded man and Xu Xian asked the boy to point out the way, and then they headed to where the Iron Tree Immortal was...

From afar, an extremely huge dead tree was squatting at the entrance of the Half Step Inn. The bearded man could sense that the other party's strength was about the late Earth Immortal stage...

"Iron Tree Immortal, I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope you will have mercy and save my friend's life." The bearded man looked at Xu Xian and spoke.

After a while, there was no sound around, and the iron tree did not move at all.

In the original novel, they asked the nearby wine fairy to come forward, which made the Iron Tree Immortal appear. Now that only the two of them have come together, I'm afraid the Iron Tree will not want to meet them.

"Big Beard, what should we do? According to what the boy said, if the day breaks, won't Miss Bai be dead?" Xu Xian was extremely anxious at this time, but he had no idea what to do.

The bearded man heard the words and saw that the iron tree was indifferent, so he immediately took out the nine-toothed rake and said with a smile: "Don't panic, brother, let me see what I can do?"

This nine-foot-long rake was extremely sharp. Even though the iron tree had been cultivated for thousands of years, it still could not withstand the chopping of this weapon.

As the bearded man raked the tree with his nine-toothed rake, the iron tree began to sway slightly. Soon, an angry old man appeared and said, "What are you doing? I can't bear fruit for mortals anymore. You should leave now."

"Hmph... you are the Iron Tree Immortal. You are really a jerk who refuses to accept my invitation. Since you are unwilling to bloom and bear fruit, there is no point in keeping you. Let your grandfather Ba Liang help you to be reincarnated and go to the underworld to bloom and bear fruit." The bearded man ignored what he heard and continued to chop the branches of the iron tree with his nine-toothed rake.

……

"Alas... Immortal, please slow down, slow down, it will bloom soon, it will bloom soon?" After a moment, the Iron Tree Immortal looked at the bare branch left and wanted to cry, but when he saw that the bearded man was going to continue, he could no longer bear it and knelt down to beg him.

"Hmph? You old ghost, couldn't you have done this earlier? You made me work in vain for a long time." The bearded man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Then, the Iron Tree Immortal reluctantly gave an Iron Tree Immortal Fruit and an Iron Tree Flower to the bearded man, and disappeared along with the Iron Tree left on the ground.

Big Beard and Xu Xian immediately returned to the Banbudu Inn. It was almost dawn at this time. Fortunately, Big Beard's Taoism was already very advanced. He took out a talisman, folded it into the shape of a paper crane, and after a while, the paper crane flew towards Bai Suzhen's direction.

The two followed closely and finally found the seriously injured Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, who was like a headless fly, in a dry well not far from the room where they originally lived.

"Miss Xiaoqing, quickly mix these two things and apply them all over Miss Bai's body. It will be too late if you're late." Seeing that Bai Suzhen was already in a very weak state, the bearded man hurriedly said to Xiaoqing.

Then everyone worked hard and finally repaired all the wounds on Bai Suzhen's body before dawn. However, Bai Suzhen had lost too much energy and her magic power was greatly damaged, so she needed some time to recuperate.

After this incident, Bai Suzhen realized that even with the elixir she had she might not be able to become an immortal, so she was willing to give the elixir in her body to the ferryman of the Jiezhou in exchange for Big Beard and Xu Xian's safe return to the human world.

Although Xiaoqing was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to agree if Bai Suzhen was given the opportunity.

Seeing that Bai Suzhen was fine, Big Beard and Xu Xian prepared to return to the inn and wait for Chen Fan to return from the heaven before going to the human world together...

Little did he know that Fahai was so doubtful about his life after being beaten by the bearded man and had lost face in front of the boy Guanyin that his evil heart was aroused. Even the Ice Heart Art could not suppress his murderous intent.

So, Fahai chose to go on a killing spree in the Banbudu Inn. You know, there is a rule in the Banbudu Inn that no matter whether it is a human, a demon or an immortal, as long as they enter the inn, no matter what mistakes they make, they will be forgiven and will not be punished in the inn.

Of course, the previous Dragon King was an exception. After all, the Jade Emperor came in person. Moreover, what the Dragon King did did indeed arouse the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, so this was an exception.

……

The bearded man and Xu Xian were on their way back, and saw demons rushing towards the inn. At this time, a child bumped into the bearded man, who grabbed him and asked, "Kid, what's going on?"
