With a great boom, the cocoon of fire exploded.
The ring-shaped shockwave pushed the magma in all directions, stirring up raging flames.
Li Qingshan stood in the sea of fire. His perfect body glowed with red light, like a statue forged from scarlet copper. His eyes were closed, and his head hung down. His scarlet hair was like fire, dancing in the wind.
Li Qingshan breathed gently. At that moment, he felt like he was alive.
This was the first layer of the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa.
"Congratulations, your cultivation has advanced." Golden Cicada's voice rang out in his head.
"Thank you. What else do you need me to do? Feel free to tell me."
"Save Lolth."
"Alright!"
Li Qingshan opened his eyes, which shone with magnificent red light. A pair of glorious, magnificent wings suddenly unfurled on his back.
These were not wings constructed from energy like the wings of wind. Instead, they were true wings, the wings of the phoenix.
The flames swept towards him. He bent his body slightly, and the wings folded up as well. Streams of wind wrapped around him. At the same time, he unleashed the wings of wind. The two powers of wind and fire merged together perfectly.
He stomped down hard, and with a thump, the wings suddenly unfurled. He had already taken off into the air, leaving behind a long trail of fire.
Little Ann swung the Blood Sea Banner and followed closely behind.
Li Qingshan pursued Helicoverpa Rosa's aura, passing through the layers of rock and soil. When he was about to approach her, he concealed all of his aura and approached silently.
Suddenly, he frowned. When he concealed his aura with the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression, the power from the Phoenix Transformation put up an intense resistance. He was unable to hide his aura completely.
In his body, the spirit turtle's daemon core had already changed. A smear of red had been added to it, adhering to the azure daemon core. It constantly flowed around, but it floated to the surface, unable to penetrate any further.
In human terms, the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine. The Demonic Transformation focused on tempering the body, while the Divine Transformation focused on tempering qi. As a result, even though the Tiger Demon Transformation and Ox Demon Transformation had already reached the fourth layer. It was relatively easy for the spirit turtle to suppress it. However, it was rather powerless against the Phoenix Transformation of the first layer. It developed an intense rejection.
Even though he had barely managed to cultivate the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, he was still far too weak. However, it had not reached the level of true fusion of water and fire, let alone the realm of complementing water and fire. If he continued to cultivate the Phoenix Transformation, this rejection would only become stronger and stronger.
However, he had to think of a way to get over this hurdle.
He remembered that there were some cultivation methods in the Cultivation World that cultivated both fire and water. When he returned to the Hundred Schools of Thought, he would study them carefully.
With the advantage in strength of the fourth layer of the spirit turtle, he forcefully suppressed the phoenix's aura. If he were to fight in this state, not only would he not become stronger, but he would also become stronger. Instead, it became weaker due to internal friction.
The rumbling and tremors grew closer and closer. Li Qingshan broke out of the earth and saw that this place was somewhat familiar. It was the great canyon where he had fought Blood Shadow and Strong Stone.
Four Great Grandmasters. They each held a long sword and stood in four directions, forming a formation to trap Helicoverpa Rosa within.
Helicoverpa Rosa's hair was disheveled. She seemed rather miserable, but her gaze became even colder and more vicious. She leapt over and lunged towards the weaker Wen Zhengming. She completely ignored Wen Zhengming's sword and grabbed his shoulder with her sharp claws.
"Frigid Winter Bitterly, Frozen Five Thousand Kilometers."
The white-clothed scholar in the lead chanted. The three-foot green sword in his hand danced elegantly, and an icy cold sword energy wrapped in snowflakes swept over.
Ice immediately formed on the back of Helicoverpa Rosa's body. She felt a bone-chilling coldness, immobilizing her. With a shudder, the Ice shattered.
The scholar in white thought, This wretched daemon really is a carapaced Daemon Commander after all. His body sure is tough. If he were a regular Daemon General, he would've been frozen into a pile of ice from a single strike. If I fight him alone, he really won't be easy to deal with.
"Bleak Autumn Wind, White Dew as Frost!"
While Helicoverpa Rosa was frozen, Wen Zhengming withdrew his sword and retreated. With a wave of sword Qi, just as Helicoverpa Rosa shattered the Ice behind her, her body was covered in a layer of white frost. Her movements became sluggish again.
At this moment, the other two Grandmasters also struck with their swords.
"Spring returns to the earth, rain during the Qingming Festival." "Scorching Summer, Blazing Sun Like Fire."
Wisps of rain that were as thin as cow's hair were soft and soft, penetrating through every pore. However, they contained extremely sharp sword Qi. They could even penetrate through the fine layer of poison on the back of Helicoverpa Rosa's body, penetrating through her pores and seeping into her body.
The skin on the back of Helicoverpa Rosa's body instantly turned silver-grey. She used her innate ability to block this soft and bone-chilling attack. However, a ball of scorching sun-like flames blasted towards her back. Under the pressure of the sword formation, she couldn't avoid it.
There was a loud boom, and the flames illuminated the valley.
Helicoverpa Rosa was swallowed by the flames. The four Grandmasters faced the flames and swung their swords. Four swords intertwined to form a sword net that sank into the flames.
The flames dispersed. A large hole had been burned in the poison dress on the back of Helicoverpa Rosa, and her body was covered in sword wounds. However, she had managed to block it with her perfect defensive innate ability.
However, she had expended a lot of her daemon qi, and there was obvious exhaustion on her face. She had already tried to break out of the encirclement countless times, but she had failed every time.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Qingshan discovered that there were not many traces of destruction on the left and right sides of the valley. Logically speaking, a battle between four Golden Core cultivators and a Daemon Commander would definitely be earth-shattering. It would even be normal for the valley to be completely destroyed.
The current situation proved that they had controlled every bit of their strength in the sword formation, without any wastage. Moreover, it was four against one. If this continued, Helicoverpa Rosa would be exhausted to death.
It seemed that Golden Cicada had lent him a hand for a reason. He had originally intended to kill with a borrowed knife. If the four Grandmasters could not find him, they might chase him underground. With the power of the Golden Cicada Spirit King, killing the four of them would be a piece of cake.
Unexpectedly, Golden Cicada refused to help, and instead helped him. He had achieved his goal.
"Mother of my child, father of my child is here to save you!"
Li Qingshan sneaked into the rock wall near Wen Zhengming. With a sudden roar, he burst out of the ground. Before his voice had even reached Wen Zhengming, he had already arrived behind him. The speed he erupted with in that instant shocked even himself.
"I never thought that the combination of the Phoenix wings and the Divine Wings of Wind would have such a great effect. In the future, whoever wants to kill me can only follow behind me and suffer from the wind!"
The illusion of the Ox Demon loomed on Li Qingshan's body, and its two horns fiercely pointed at Wen Zhengming's back. Helicoverpa Rosa raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, but she would not let go of such a good opportunity. She once again pounced at Wen Zhengming and Li Qingshan, attacking from the front and back.
With Wen Zhengming's Early-stage Gold Core cultivation, it was extremely dangerous to be forced by a carapaced Demon General and Li Qingshan, whose strength was not inferior to the former. Even if he could escape with his life, the Four Seasons Sword Formation would undoubtedly be broken.
Wen Zhengming was not surprised, but happy, and shouted, "Evildoer, good! Fix for me! "
He flew forward without looking back, waved his big sleeve, and a paper talisman flew out, turning into the word "Fix". Helicoverpa Rosa's body suddenly stiffened.
The three long swords arrived like lightning, and the Sword Qi turned into threads, entangling Li Qingshan's body. In that instant, he first felt the weakness of the spring wind melting his bones, the bone-chilling cold of being frozen by Ice, and the scorching heat of being burned by raging fire.
The tip of the ox horn was only a foot away from Wen Zhengming, but suddenly became very far away.
"Changes of the Four Seasons!"
Wen Zhengming turned around, and the moment the other three long swords converged.
All Li Qingshan felt was sword qi in front of him, behind him, left, and right, constantly revolving and changing.
The four Grandmasters seemed to have agreed on it. After abandoning Helicoverpa Rosa at the same time, they targeted Li Qingshan. This was not something that could be achieved by relying on spontaneous reactions, but through countless careful considerations, considering all the flaws.
The weak Wen Zhengming was like a bait, leading Li Qingshan into a killing trap.
The scholar in white said, "Moon Devil, do you really think we didn't think you would launch a sneak attack?" Afterwards, he waved his hand. "Junior brothers, use the Sword Qi of the Four Seasons to kill this wretched daemon first!"
The Fixing talisman could only last for a while at most. The spider daemon would break free very soon. By then, it would really be rather troublesome if the two daemons worked together.
However, he had absolute confidence that he could kill the Moon Devil in a single strike if he used the strongest move of the Sword Formation of the Four Seasons. It would not be too late to use the sword formation then and kill the spider daemon.
"Spring Thunder sword!" "Summer Rain sword!" "Autumn Wind sword!" "Winter Snow sword!"
Green, yellow, scarlet, and white. Four strands of sword Qi tore through the air, filling his eyes.
Trapped in the sword formation, Li Qingshan felt an intense sense of danger.
The Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell only managed to block it for a split second before shattering loudly. The Sword Qi of the Four Seasons constantly cycled and changed, connecting from end to end. It was meticulous and pervasive.
Li Qingshan felt like he had been thrown into a millstone, about to be ground to dust.
Li Qingshan immediately used the ability of the Watermirror disc. The mirror clone hidden in the water was reduced to dust in a single moment, dispersing like dust. Even every single strand of daemon qi had been depleted.
His flesh and blood sprayed everywhere, forcefully ground down to a skeleton. It was covered in tiny slashes.
The scholar in white eased up inside. He clasped his hands. "Congratulations on getting your revenge, junior brother Wen!"
Wen Zhengming smiled in relief as well. All of this had happened in a split second. By the time Helicoverpa Rosa had broken free from the Fixing talisman, the four grandmasters had already fallen into the sword formation again.
Helicoverpa Rosa saw this and was secretly surprised. If they had used this move right from the beginning, she definitely would not have lasted until now. They had left this move behind to bait the Moon Devil, as well as to exhaust her before launching a sudden attack. They would not give her the opportunity to blow up her daemon core.
Although daemons were cunning, it was difficult to compare with the strategies of humans. The main reason was that humans had too many tricks up their sleeves. Talisman sword formation, array formation. It could be said that if they only relied on their own strength to fight, even if the four grandmasters joined forces, they would not be a match for Helicoverpa Rosa. Once they got close to her, it would be a nightmare. But with these tricks, they could turn the tables and put her to death.
"Do you think that you can kill him like this?"
Hearing the scholar in white's words, Helicoverpa Rosa said disdainfully. Only she knew how difficult it was to kill this guy.
Wen Zhengming's heart skipped a beat. The Moon Devil, who should have been dead, pounced on him. Using the Sword Qi of the Four Seasons was extremely taxing on him, and Wen Zhengming's cultivation was the weakest among the four of them. Because he had 'avenged his great hatred', his mind was slightly relaxed, and he couldn't dodge in time, and was tightly hugged.
"I've caught you! Mother of my child, hurry up and do it! "(Welcome. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
