Chapter 1001

"Since you're here, don't sneak around."

From the very beginning, Meng Qi had been on high alert. He projected his Will-projecting and half-integrated with the environment, thus giving off a sense of emptiness. He half-extended his long saber, using it as his hands, ears, and eyes. He did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and his spiritual sense was untainted by any dust.

Because he had been attacked by Wolf King, he could not "see", "hear", or "sense" the enemy. It was as if he was trapped in a nightmare. Now that he thought about it, it was still vivid in his mind and made him feel uneasy.

Wolf King was already like this. What about a Half-step Exterior Scenery sneak attack? What about a normal Half-step Exterior Scenery sneak attack?

Among the four demons, there were two Half-step Exterior Scenery!

Moreover, evil spirits were often good at hiding and sneak attacks. A little carelessness would lead to a close fight and a tragic death.

Sure enough, in the state of emptiness, Mengqi sensed a trace of danger through Heaven Inflicted Pain. However, he could not grasp the enemy's trace, so he immediately shouted to expose the enemy's whereabouts. He wanted the enemy to think that hiding was useless and give up his biggest reliance.

"Humph, you have some skills …"

A cold voice rang out not far from the wall. A faint and dim flame lit up, and a figure emerged from within.

He was wearing a red robe and had no hair, eyebrows, or even a single hair. His skin was glowing as if covered with a layer of flame. He raised his hand and slapped at Mengqi.

It turned out to be Fire Demon, one of the two Half-step Exterior Scenery masters!

Dozens of feet away, the palm attacked, growing larger and larger. It almost covered one's sight and seemed to be able to hold up heaven and earth. Mengqi felt the airflow around him suddenly heat up and burn fiercely. Within half a foot, there was no place that was not burning. Even half of Mengqi's green robe was on fire and spreading irreversibly along his skin.

With every breath, he inhaled a large amount of hot airflow. If this went on for a long time, his lungs would be burned and his throat damaged.

He was a genuine Half-step Exterior Scenery master!

He was not a fake rotten like Snake King, nor was he a semi-disabled person like Green Cultivator who suffered from Qi-deviancy Derangement. He was not outstanding, but he was a regular Half-step Exterior Scenery master, similar to Duo Ercha!

This was the first time that Mengqi encountered such an enemy. He dared not to be careless. He slashed out his long saber. It was as bright and fast as lightning, cutting through the flames and heat. In the blink of an eye, it met the terrible palm.

Mengqi followed the saber and left the top of the wall. His whole body was covered in flames, but his whole body was golden. Even his hair had some luster. Even under the burning of the crimson flames, it looked brilliant and sacred.

Burning Fire!!

Huang Dai and Fan Yu's legs were trembling. It was a terrible fire demon!

Before the Devil Qi filled his body, he was already on par with his Master. With the enhancement brought by the Devil Qi, his Evil Might spread far and wide. Every move he made could bring about changes in the weather and cause the other party to burn!

It was rumored that his temperament was becoming more and more savage, and he loved to roast people alive and swallow them whole.

As for Young Swordsman Su, he did not seem to be afraid of fire at all!

When Mengqi shouted, Qi Zhengyan approached him and planned to join hands with him. Suddenly, Chixia rose around him like a blooming lotus. The petals opened and tilted the half iron hook in the void, dodging the fatal blow.

A shadow appeared in the void. It was a tall demon in a black robe. He turned the half iron hook into his left hand and slashed with his right palm. In an instant, it turned into a black saber surrounded by black gas. It seemed to be able to corrode and unfold everything.

Soldier Demon appeared in the void. It was a tall demon in a black robe. He turned the half iron hook into his left hand and slashed with his right palm. In an instant, it turned into a black saber surrounded by black gas. It seemed to be able to corrode and unfold everything.

Soldier Demon! Fan Yu and Huang Dai gasped. They didn't expect that two demons would come here.

Soldier Demon, as its name suggested, could not only control the ordinary evil spirits contaminated by Devil Qi, but also transform every part of its body, including hands, feet, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, ears, hair, nails, and fine hair, into weapons and concealed weapons. Its every move could be a killing move. It was extremely difficult to deal with.

When the "saber" slashed at Qi Zhengyan, Soldier Demon's long hair swept over. Each hair was like a barb and glowed. Once it cut the skin, it would not only let the Devil Qi enter the body, but also be poisoned.

Qi Zhengyan did not dare to be careless. He urged Chixia to wave his long hair. His sword was shaped like a setting sun and caught the saber. Then, he released purple and green signals, indicating that they had encountered Fire Demon and Soldier Demon. They were powerful and should come to help.

Fireworks rose into the sky and exploded into drops of purple rain and green light. Suddenly, there was a white fog around Qi Zhengyan. It was hot and thick, blocking his sight.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Qi kept a distance from the Soldier Demon. With his left hand and his right sword, he used the Azure Blizzard Genuine Qi to cut out freezing cold light and drove the nearby refined iron ores. Black light flew out of the ruins and hit Soldier Demon from all directions.

Huang Dai and Fan Yu stared at Qi Zhengyan, who could shatter the earth with just a lift of his hand and flash of cold light when he lifted his sword. Looking at the red clouds permeating the white mist, they almost forgot about the Devil's attack.

He was like a god!

"Humph!" Soldier Demon snorted. He knew that his opponent wanted to exhaust him to death with his special Kung Fu.

His momentum quickly rose to the peak. Suddenly, his left hand spread out and turned into thick Devil Qi. The surrounding void became dark and the airflow suddenly collapsed, turning the area within a hundred feet into a filthy and dark hell. The white fog spread out, corroding Chixia, weakening the cold light and binding the refined iron ores.

He forcibly created the Heaven-man Connection with the Devil Qi!

…

Tong Yao, the Thunderous Sword Whiz, and Zu Wenzhong, the Eight-fingered Magical Palm, did not separate. Together, they guarded the side door that had not collapsed, waiting to intercept the demon.

The two did not speak because they were weaker than any of the demons. They had already made up their minds to die. The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

Suddenly, the transparent jade bracelet on Tong Yao's left hand was stained with a little gray.

"Corpse Demon!" She shouted a warning. Fortunately, she had this spiritual item that could sense the Corpse Qi.

Zu Wenzhong immediately released fireworks and formed a triangle with Tong Yao. They planned to block the demon and wait for help.

In the darkness ahead, a tall figure appeared. He had waist-length hair and a dark face. His hands were like claws and were surrounded by gray gas. Every step he took shook the earth.

Behind him was another demon. It was strong and sturdy, with a black body as if it was wrapped in a layer of armor.

"Two demons …" Tong Yao and Zu Wenzhong could only grit their teeth and hope that Taoist Baizhang would come as soon as possible.

…

Taoist Baizhang and Zhao Heng saw four fireworks rising almost at the same time. They found that there were Half-step Exterior Scenery masters on both sides.

"Donor, let's go help Lady Tong and Mr. Zu. Donor Jiang and the others will have to trouble you." Taoist Baizhang made a prompt decision.

Zhao Heng was about to answer when he saw gray fog spreading in front of them. Zombies with ferocious-looking faces were running toward them. They had rotting pus dripping from their bodies and fangs and sharp armor. There were hundreds of them.

Looking back at the Jianghu heroes who were still searching, Zhao Heng said, "Senior Baizhang, go help Lady Tong and the others first. Leave this to me. We can't let them harm the righteous."

"Are you okay?" Taoist Baizhang was a little worried about Zhao Heng when he saw hundreds of zombies. He could deal with them easily, but could Zhao Heng do it?

Zhao Heng was calm and composed. He laughed. "Senior, have you forgotten the origin of my nickname?"

Earth-shattering. Of course, it was really Earth-shattering!

Taoist Baizhang didn't dare to delay. If he delayed any longer, Tong Yao and Zu Wenzhong would definitely die. After reminding Meng Qi to be careful, he disappeared like a gust of wind.

Facing hundreds of zombies, Zhao Heng didn't draw his sword. He patted his clothes with his left hand and slowly struck out with his right palm.

…

Jiang Zhiwei stood outside the ruins with her sword in her arms, like a sword stuck in the ground. Ruan Yushu sat cross-legged under the wall with his hands on the Phoenix-perching Zither. He seemed to be brewing his emotions or resting with his eyes closed.

As the fireworks bloomed, Jiang Zhiwei immediately turned around to help Mengqi and the others. Ruan Yushu was also ready to pick up his zither.

Just then, figures approached one by one. Some of them were hunched over, some were broken, and they were in different postures. But all of them were covered in blood and had traces of Devil Qi. Their eyes were full of killing intent.

Wisps of Devil Qi gathered and floated over like a dark cloud.

"Sister Zhiwei, I'll stay here to prevent the demons from rushing in. You go and help them." Ruan Yushu placed his hands on the Phoenix-perching Zither again.

Jiang Zhiwei understood that Ruan Yushu had an advantage over her in dealing with the weak enemies. Mengqi had once teased her in private that she was a "weapon of mass destruction". Even if another demon came, as long as it wasn't Skyscraping True Devil, she would be able to hold out until he returned. Besides, two demons of the Half-step Exterior Scenery had appeared.

"Okay." Jiang Zhiwei wasn't a long-winded person. She immediately ran to where Mengqi and the others were. She jumped up and down in the ruins.

Ruan Yushu's expression was cold. He played the zither elegantly with both hands. His voice was like chanting Buddhist scriptures. It was peaceful and distant, dispelling the resentment and Devil Qi.

"Ah!"

The ordinary demons that were touched by the black gas held their heads and screamed. In a breath, they were disintegrated from the inside out, one after another. There was almost no order. Like grass blown down by the wind, the black gas dissipated one by one.

After half of the "Demon-dispelling Spell", the demons that covered the mountains seemed to be empty, like a harvested wheat field. The remaining demons were the stronger ones.

They didn't flinch at all and continued to rush over.

Ruan Yushu's clothes were as white as snow, without a speck of dust. She played the zither with both hands like a fairy under the moon. The sound of the zither changed into the sound of killing.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Clang! A demon ran eight steps and suddenly fell down. Black blood flowed out of its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

As soon as the voice rang out, many more demonic creatures died.

A tall and sturdy demon couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up his companion and threw him at Ruan Yushu, as if he wanted to interrupt her music.

Ruan Yushu played the zither elegantly. Her two little fingers were slightly tilted, and the Sword Qi was released. With two swishing sounds, the flying demons were killed. The sound of the zither was not difficult at all. It was indescribably elegant and leisurely.

…

The knife light cut through the sea of fire and pounced on the red palm.

The palm seemed to have foresight. It suddenly bent its fingers and all the flames were absorbed into the finger wind. It pointed at Mengqi's left chest. Before the wind arrived, the heat had already arrived. It seemed to be able to melt gold and stone!

This was a trap that the Fire Demon had set in advance based on Mengqi's genuine Qi flow and muscle reaction. It was as if he had taken the initiative to run into the finger wind, which was equivalent to suicide. The knife light was so fast that it seemed that there was no time to dodge it.

Suddenly, Mengqi changed the direction of the knife and spun his body. It seemed that the previous attack was just a feint. It miraculously brushed past the finger wind, and the knife light became misty.

From the beginning, he had never thought of defending to the death.

He was different from Wang Zai and Senior Brother Zhang. The Eight Nine Mysteries and the Golden Bell Shield were most useful not for defense, but for offense!
