After the four demons turned into evil spirits, they lost their humanity and only had the thought of finding food to satisfy their hunger. Following a thread of inspiration, they rushed towards where Zhang Yan was hiding.
In just a few miles, they arrived in a flash.
The monsters didn't conceal their presence at all. As soon as they got close, Zhang Yan sensed them. He focused his gaze and saw four ferocious-looking things that looked like humans but weren't, like ghosts but weren't. They leaped over and surrounded him.
Even though he was surrounded by four monsters, he still looked calm and composed.
He had fought with the disciples of the Demon Doctrine in Donghua Continent many times. With one look, he knew that these were demons that were refined with evil methods.
Although the demons surrounded him, they seemed to be afraid of something and hesitated to move forward. They bent down and circled around him. After a while, none of them dared to come forward.
One of them was especially fierce. It wanted to pounce a few times, but after a few screams, it retreated.
The stalemate continued for a while. The devils seemed to be extremely afraid of him; they crouched down and wanted to retreat.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since you are in front of me, how can I let you leave?"
There was a loud sound like the collapse of a dam. It was as if a flood of light surged out from his back and rushed forward.
The four demons were extremely fast. When they sensed that something was wrong, they immediately turned into red mist and escaped.
However, when they were halfway, four sword gleams chased after them and slashed at their bodies. Each of them was torn into two at the same time.
However, they did not stop. The sword gleams split up and each of them produced a dozen streaks of cold lightning. They slashed back and forth, making it impossible for the demons to reform their bodies. At this moment, the Water Element True Light surged over and with a rumble, all of them were sucked in.
Zhang Yan's expression was calm as if he had done something unimportant.
Although these monsters looked powerful and difficult to kill with ordinary methods, they posed no threat to him. He didn't know how to fight with others, and he didn't have any sharp weapons or magic treasures, so he could easily deal with them.
He took out several pieces of talisman paper from his sleeve and tossed them out. He raised his finger and pointed at them a few times before they turned into light and flew away.
There was nothing special about these talismans. They could not find Rong Junzhong directly. However, as long as they sensed spiritual opportunity, they would send out a warning. If he was fighting with many opponents at the same time, these talismans would be useless. However, since there was only Rong Junzhong, it was effective.
Rong Junzhong did not retreat far and was still five miles away. He kept an eye on Zhang Yan's movements. He was not afraid of being discovered because of the thick mist.
If Rong Junzhong chased after him, he would be able to escape in time. Now that the demon was dead, the talismans in his hand suddenly turned to dust. The fear in his eyes grew. He thought, "This person's spell is really powerful."
For a period of time, he was very careful. He flew back and forth and did not fight with Zhang Yan directly. From time to time, he would release a few spiritual cranes.
Based on Zhang Yan's previous supernatural powers, he knew that a few spiritual cranes would not be able to harm him. At most, they would only cause him some trouble. Therefore, this was to put pressure on him from time to time. He wanted to wear down his spirit so that he could not relax and did not have the time to adjust his breathing.
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry. He patiently dealt with the trouble his opponent threw in front of him. Not only that, he left a stack of talismans wherever he went.
After Rong Junzhong had been in the fog for a long time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few talismans flying around. His pupils involuntarily shrank. His thoughts turned quickly and he immediately guessed the purpose of these talismans. He quickly released a few spiritual monkeys and they jumped around in all directions to confuse the eyes and ears of the people around him.
Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he felt that the talismans were acting strangely. Without any hesitation, he summoned his sword and flew towards the talismans. When he arrived, he saw that it was only a spiritual monkey. It was baring its teeth at him. He sneered and raised his sword to cut off the monkey's head.
At this moment, there were a few other places that sensed something. He went to investigate one by one. In less than a minute, he had killed all the spiritual monkeys.
Rong Junzhong came down and used pearls and jades that were full of spiritual vigor to disturb them. However, they were all broken by Zhang Yan.
After a few times, he did not have many tricks left. No matter where he went, he would be detected by the talismans. He had no choice but to retreat to the edge of the mountain boundary.
There was a reason why he chose that place to fight. His aim was to exhaust Zhang Yan's mana. After a few rounds, if he felt that the time was not right, he could retreat into the mountain behind him to hide. If Zhang Yan chased after him, he would definitely destroy the mountain, and then he would have a chance to catch his breath.
This battle involved the life and death of the two sects, it was not a matter for him alone. Naturally, he had to use all the means at his disposal. He had to make full use of all the advantages he had previously.
After a while, he arrived at the edge of the mountain. He hesitated for a while and took out a jade pill. It was crystal clear and looked like glass. Inside it, a drop of blood could be faintly seen floating around.
He looked at the item reluctantly. Finally, he sighed and held it in his palm. He blew a few breaths and it turned into a stag. It raised its head and raised its horns. It was handsome and had a strong body with four strong hooves.
This stag was a gift from Xiao Cang Jing on his 500th birthday. It had always been a treasure. It was originally a strange beast in the North Underworld Continent. Its size could be changed at will. It could fight with Yuanying cultivators. It had a pair of sharp horns on its head that could pierce through gold and stone. It could tear apart pythons and dragons. Now that it was released, it was prepared to hide at the side and help.
Rong Junzhong patted his back and whispered into the stag's ear, "Go hide at the side. Come out when I call for you."
The stag looked at him and let out a cry. It leaped into the clouds and disappeared in an instant.
Not long after, the clouds in front of him parted and a sword gleam flew over. It made a turn in the air and headed towards him.
Rong Junzhong knew the sharpness of the sword gleam. He did not dare to face it head-on. He activated his mana and activated the tree above him. The tree opened up like an umbrella. The tree shone brightly and blocked the sword gleam.
He calmed his mind and followed the sword gleam outside. The sword gleam was like a heavy rain, but he did not move. This tree was also a protective weapon of the Xuan Yue School. It was called the Emerald Tree. It was once used by the Master Dongtian, He Zhuxiang. Unless it was a treasure, it would be very difficult to break. Even if it encountered the six famous swords of the Fengxiang sword school, it would not be able to do anything to it.
In just a few breaths, dozens of sword gleams flew over from afar. When they got close, they did not descend. Instead, they made a turn in the air and suddenly merged together. A handsome young Daoist with fluttering sleeves stepped out from the sword gleams. His eyes were like lightning as he looked over and said with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoist Rong, are you not going to leave?"
Rong Junzhong did not show any weakness. He waved his hand and the three-fingered fork flew up and blocked another sword gleam. He pointed at his feet and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Fellow Daoist, come and take a look. Do you like this place to be your burial ground?"
Zhang Yan smiled and did not argue with him. He looked behind Rong Junzhong and saw that it was close to the valley. He understood Rong Junzhong's intention.
He raised his eyebrows. If he let Rong Junzhong go this time, he did not know how long it would take to take him down. It would be a long battle. Although he was not afraid of it, he could not let Rong Junzhong do whatever he wanted since he knew about it.
After thinking for a while, he came up with a countermeasure. He raised his hand and flicked his finger. A deep purple lightning shot out from two to three hundred feet away and hit the Precious Tree of Auspicious Light. It was like a hammer hitting the golden shield. In an instant, there were countless sparks and light that exploded.
Rong Junzhong's body could not help but tremble when he took the hit. Zhang Yan was not going to let him go and sent dozens of lightning bolts at him.
Under this series of lightning strikes, Rong Junzhong seemed to be affected and could not stand steadily. The Precious Tree of Auspicious Light was also faintly collapsing. He was shocked and knew that he could not just stand and watch. He pointed to the sky and raised the three-fingered fork high up in the sky. He stabbed it towards Zhang Yan from afar.
Zhang Yan looked up and met his gaze. A clear light flew out from his mid-brows and attached to the three-fingered fork.
Rong Junzhong saw that although the clear light was not eye-catching, he was very sensitive and noticed that something was wrong. He controlled the three-fingered fork and dodged to the side. As expected, the clear light turned and approached him again. He sneered and kept the three-fingered fork back.
After a few breaths, both of them were within a thousand feet. Rong Junzhong saw this and shouted. He grabbed with his five fingers and used the Thousand Kilograms Divine Power to stop the clear light in mid-air. At the same time, he took the spiritual vigor and used the Heaven and Earth Lock Technique to suppress Zhang Yan. He then used his mind and the three-fingered fork vibrated in the air. It turned into a smoke arrow and pierced through the clouds.
Even so, he did not stop. He flicked his left sleeve and activated the Three Sounds Three Skies Thunder to the front.
After doing all of this, he didn't even look at the results. He immediately retreated.
He did not intend to fight Zhang Yan head-on in the first place. It would be best if Zhang Yan was injured after this round of attacks. If nothing happened, as long as he entered the mountains, he would be able to make a comeback next time.
When Zhang Yan heard the thunder tide rolling in, whistling and rumbling, his expression turned solemn. Circulating his [Xuan Qi], his body abruptly grew taller, becoming about three hundred feet tall. He suddenly rushed forward, without dodging or evading, his giant hand swept horizontally, slapping away the incoming thundercloud arrowhead.
No matter how many lightning strikes you have, I will defeat them with my own strength!
Rong Junzhong did not expect Zhang Yan to have such a change. He was shocked and sped up his escape technique.
Seeing that Rong Junzhong wanted to escape, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. He gathered his Qi in his chest and roared. Rong Junzhong felt dizzy and staggered.
Just as Zhang Yan was about to move forward, the wind and clouds on his left suddenly stirred and a beam of spiritual light flew over. Turning his head, he saw a giant deer that was similar in size to him. The deer's muscles were bulging and its hooves were stepping on the clouds as it charged towards him like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, it was right in front of him.
He snorted and reached out with one hand to grab the antler of the deer. He twisted it and pulled it to the ground.
He then reached out and grabbed a ball of black gas. He used his Xuan Qi to transform it into a giant axe. He raised his hand and chopped the giant deer to death. …
After that, he took a step forward and raised the axe with both hands before fiercely chopping down on the mountain ridge. Kacha! The mountain instantly shook and rocks flew everywhere. This mountain peak was forcefully split apart by him. He took another step forward and made a grabbing motion with his left hand, which condensed into a giant hammer. With a whistling sound, he swung it towards the streak of light that was suspended in the sky.
Bang! It was as if glass had shattered in the sky. Dazzling light exploded and covered the sky. Golden light and silver stars sprinkled down. A distorted figure could be seen falling diagonally towards the foot of the mountain.
