Xu Liao paused and nodded reluctantly.
Human cultivators and monsters couldn't recover demonic energy in the Fiend Prison, just like humans couldn't breathe in water. However, Xu Liao didn't have this problem. He could use the Star Swallowing Art to refine demonic energy into demonic energy, so he was almost as relaxed in the Fiend Prison as he was outside.
Ren Lingxuan stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Although it's a waste of demonic energy to refine the little Heavenly Fiend Banner, it's still useful. We won't refine it in the future."
Baek Hyun-jae also laughed and explained for Xu Liao, "These little Heavenly Fiend Banners can be used to scout the surroundings and know the demonic beasts' movements in advance. This is also a common tactic used in the Seven Day War."
Xu Liao just realized that everyone knew a little about the Seven Day War. If he didn't have the black beetles to understand the Fiend Prison and the Sky Monster Immortal Execution Art to refine demonic energy, he might not be as good as everyone else. After entering the Fiend Prison, he tried to summon the black beetles a few times, but to no avail. The beetles that he could sense at the Cloudy Mist Peak seemed to have disappeared.
After the battle, everyone more or less became closer. Even the cold Goddess Shi started to integrate into the group.
Xu Liao followed Baek Hyun-jae's advice and turned all the little Heavenly Fiend Banners into demonic spirits to patrol the surroundings.
Ordinary cultivators and monsters were as conspicuous as torches in a place like the Fiend Prison. They could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away.
The demonic spirits on the little Heavenly Fiend Banners all had pure demonic energy. In a place like the Fiend Prison, they were like ordinary demonic beasts and wouldn't attract any attention.
Taking advantage of the rare free time, the few of them took out some food from their storage artifacts and barely managed to eat a meal. After cultivating spirit energy and demonic energy, they didn't get hungry easily. However, there was no way to absorb spirit energy in the Fiend Prison, so they could only rely on this method to recover their strength.
Xu Liao also ate a little before sitting on the mountain peak and gazing into the distance with a can of cola. Ren Lingxuan also came over. She looked at the sky for a while before saying cautiously, "The Great Refining Formation of the Two Realms is emitting a dark light that attracts the demons of the Devil Purgatory. You've cleared out the Devil Hell Plants that we've stationed here and the first batch of Magical Beasts. You've bought us some time, but as time passes, more and more Magical Beasts will come to attack us. I don't know if we can win this Seven Day War! "
Xu Liao shook his head and said: "I haven't participated in the Seven Day War, so I don't know what it's like. But with the little Heavenly Devil Banner patrolling the perimeter, we can try to discover the nearby magic beasts in advance. We should be able to hold on for a bit longer."
Just as Xu Liao said this, his heart suddenly became alert. He shouted, "There are magical beasts nearby. I'll go kill them."
Ren Lingxuan said in a low voice, "I'll go with you!"
Xu Liao shook his head and refused, "Guarding the formation flag is more important. I can handle it alone." He leaped into the air and turned into a bright moon, flying in the direction of the incoming demonic beasts.
Cui Ying, Baek Hyun-jae, and the Angel of Stone all looked up and looked in the direction he left. Everyone had a different expression. Cui Ying was worried, Baek Hyun-jae was curious, and the Angel of Stone raised her head before lowering it again. She was actually a little nervous.
Xu Liao flew for more than two hundred kilometers before he saw a group of demonic beasts.
Although this group of demonic beasts was large in number, numbering in the hundreds, they were individually weaker than the group he had just killed. Xu Liao casually waved his hand, and a bright beam of moonlight fell down. The demonic beasts that were illuminated by this bright beam of moonlight silently disintegrated into dust. Not only were these demonic beasts extremely weak, but they also had low intelligence. They actually didn't react to this strange phenomenon. It was like a herd of antelopes that had a comrade captured by a lion. Instead, they quietened down and didn't flee in panic.
Xu Liao used the moonlight to illuminate them one by one. In just an instant, he killed more than ten demonic beasts. Only then did the remaining demonic beasts slightly panic. However, they didn't flee immediately. Instead, they actually fought each other and attacked their comrade in a frenzy.
Xu Liao also didn't expect these demonic beasts to be so stupid. Under the attack of the Moon Form, it only took about ten minutes for these demonic beasts to be blasted into dust. After killing all the demonic beasts, he slowly retreated from the battlefield and flew back to the mountain that they were guarding.
Along the way, Xu Liao had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. He even used the Skyfiend Immortal-Vanquishing Technique to sweep the surroundings a few times. However, he only managed to kill some Fiend Hell plants and did not find anything.
Xu Liao slowly returned to one of the two mountain peaks that they were guarding. He found that Baek Hyun-jae had also disappeared. After a while, Baek Hyun-jae slipped back with a smile. Although he didn't say anything, everyone knew that he had just killed a group of demonic beasts.
The beginning of the Seven Days War was almost the same. In order to avoid being attacked by several groups of demonic beasts, they had to attack in advance and kill all the demonic beasts that passed by. However, after two or three days, the nearby demonic beasts would know that there were living beings from the outside world here. There would be endless attacks from demonic beasts, and this kind of tactic would be useless. They could only fight side by side and endure.
In the blink of an eye, a whole day passed. Surprisingly, there weren't any large-scale attacks from demonic beasts. This made the five of them feel a little more relaxed. Even Xu Liao got his turn to rest for two hours.
Xu Liao entrusted the task of killing the demonic beasts to his companions. He sat cross-legged for a while to refine the essence of the demonic beasts he had devoured and the aura of the Devil Hell that he had come into contact with. When he opened his eyes, he felt that he was glowing with health and vigor. It seemed that compared to when he had just come in, his cultivation had advanced. His mood was slightly better. Suddenly, an omen of warning rose in his heart. Almost without thinking, he pushed the Transforming Moon Art to its limit. Countless silver hairs converged to form a bright moonlight and shone down.
A figure that twisted like a snake suddenly appeared in the air. Even though the figure was forced out by the Moon Form, it didn't panic at all. It twisted and turned in the air and forced its way to Ren Lingxuan's side. He could actually tell that this Eldest Senior Sister candidate from Dongxuanxian School was the weakest among the five of them, so he used her as a breakthrough point.
Ren Lingxuan clasped the Dainty Sword in her hands and hurriedly stabbed it over a hundred times. A dense forest of twists and turns appeared in front of her, like a maze. However, this figure only needed a simple and direct punch to produce such great power that it forcefully shattered the Dainty Sword Will. With a single step, it was right in front of Ren Lingxuan.
Even though Ren Lingxuan had used the Dainty Sword Technique to its limit, she knew that she wouldn't be able to withstand this figure's ultimate attack. Despair surfaced in her heart. Before joining this team, this girl from the Ren Family definitely didn't think that she would die so quickly.
Bai Xuan's reaction was extremely fast. He activated his Qilin True Form and punched out. However, Xu Liao was even faster than him. His entire body turned into an indistinct shadow, and he pounced toward the shadow's back even though he had moved later.
Would he be able to save Ren Lingxuan in time?
