Chapter 1011

The mask was engraved with a woman's face. She had phoenix eyebrows and big eyes, looking solemn and dignified. She looked like a fairy or a human empress from myths and legends, shielding her from prying eyes from the outside world.

She had a noble temperament. Just by standing there, she made people want to worship her, not daring to blaspheme her.

Even though he couldn't see her face, the disciple of the Thunderous Sword Godly was still fascinated. He didn't dare to raise his eyes and handed over the tripod with both hands, devoutly and obsessively.

"Very good." A beautiful female voice came from behind the mask. The disciple trembled with excitement. She praised him! She approved of him!

The masked woman's slender and white fingers seemed to be covered with a layer of light. As soon as she touched the Fate-protecting Tripod, something strange happened. A vast and boundless breath emerged from the ancient tripod, crossing the sky and pressing down on the earth. It was like a bright moon in the dark night, so eye-catching and so outstanding.

The woman didn't seem to expect such a change. Why did the disciple of the Thunderous Sword Godly change the cauldron when it was in her hand?

She released her breath and genuine Qi to suppress the Boundless Qi and put it into the dark green ring on her left hand. Then, she looked to the west and pondered for a moment. Then, she strode forward like a ghost drifting in the air, like an outstanding fairy, and quickly disappeared into the ruins. There was no more movement.

The disciple of the Thunderous Sword Godly slowly collapsed with a smile on his face. No one knew when he had stopped breathing.

…

Taoist Baizhang seemed to have turned into a gust of wind. He kept striking with his palms so fast that Zhao Heng could only see shadows of his palms. It was as if the sky was filled with shadows of his palms, with no distinction between real and fake. He slightly suppressed the slow and heavy Corpse Demon.

"'Qi Huanyu' really lives up to its name …" Zhao Heng secretly praised. Taoist Baizhang was not bad even among the Half-step Exterior Scenery experts. He was slightly better than the Corpse Demon and the Fire Demon who relied on Devil Qi to achieve such strength. The Three World-saving Sages were not to be trifled with!

After killing the remaining zombies, Meng Qi quickly rushed to Taoist Baizhang's side, trying to maximize his victory and kill the two demons.

The task prompt clearly stated that at least six dead demons needed crystals condensed from Devil Qi to blow up the passage to the Demonic World. If he couldn't take this opportunity to kill more demons and get more Devil Crystals, he would have to run around for the rest of the month, or even fight the Skyscraping Palace!

As for the other side, he was more at ease. With Jiang Zhiwei, Su Meng, Ruan Yushu, and Qi Zhengyan working together, as long as they were not careless, did not overreach themselves, and were not timid, it was impossible for the four of them to kill Fire Demon and Soldier Demon.

On the other hand, although Taoist Baizhang was stronger than Jiang Zhi Wei, the Thunderous Sword Godly and the Eight-fingered Heavenly Palm could only rival the "Killing Blade" if they joined hands. If Corpse Demon and Iron Demon realized something was wrong and were willing to pay the price, it would not be difficult for them to escape.

He took a deep breath and slashed Iron Demon vertically with his long sword, as if he was the king of the people. Surrounded by Dragon Qi and Divine Will, Iron Demon's soul trembled and his Devil Qi dissipated before the sword arrived.

Seeing that help had come, Taoist Baizhang pulled himself together and turned into a tornado. Using his hands, feet, shoulders, and elbows as weapons, he repeatedly clashed with the claws of the Corpse Demon, forcing the latter to defend himself.

The Corpse Demon was not as fast as Taoist Baizhang, but he was strong and strong. His body was like rotten wood. Occasionally, he was hit by the Corpse Demon, but only pus flowed out, as if he was unaffected. The gray fog continued to spread, and it was impossible for Taoist Baizhang not to be affected.

Neither of them used their killer moves. Instead, they were creating opportunities through normal attacks and defenses!

Right at this moment, a mournful and shrill scream pierced through the clouds and came from afar.

"The Fire Demon?" Taoist Baizhang, the Thunderous Sword, the Eight-fingered Heavenly Palm, the Corpse Demon, and the Iron Demon recognized the scream at the same time. They were all shocked. The Fire Demon seemed to have suffered great injuries and was on the verge of death.

How could the Fire Demon, who was slightly weaker than the Corpse Demon because he could not control zombies, let out such a cry?

"How could they do this?"

"Are there really peerless masters overseas?"

Both sides came to their senses at the same time. The Corpse Demon's body suddenly expanded, and his right palm struck out like an iron banana fan. The pale white color turned into a deep black, as if there was no end to the darkness.

One palm to decide life and death!

The Corpse Qi flowed backward, and the cries of evil ghosts broke out. Translucent ghosts appeared and pounced on Taoist Baizhang.

The Fire Demon was probably in deep trouble. It was not wise to stay here for long! As a demon who had run amok in the world for many years, the Corpse Demon made a prompt decision without hesitation.

Taoist Baizhang remained calm in the face of this terrible attack. His expression was solemn. His left hand formed a seal, and his right palm struck out like a wisp of wind from the sky.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around Taoist Baizhang's body and right palm. The wind grew stronger and stronger, as if a hurricane had formed nearby. All the soil on the ground was thrown into the air, and the weeds were uprooted. Taoist Baizhang was wrapped in the Corpse Demon's right palm and dispersed the ghosts.

"Boom!"

The Corpse Qi drifted away, and the hurricane tilted slightly, blowing straight up into the sky. Soil scattered, and weeds swirled in the air. It was almost like a natural disaster.

The Corpse Demon took a step back, and cracks appeared on his body, from which yellow pus flowed out. Taoist Baizhang's face darkened, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. But he did not stop. He locked on to the Corpse Demon's aura and chased after it.

Suddenly, a vast and boundless aura rose into the sky, covering the moon and the clouds, and causing the mountains and rivers to change color.

"The Fate-protecting Cauldron?" Daoist Baizhang's heart leaped with joy, but he soon became nervous because the aura had disappeared without a trace.

He was distracted by the Fate-protecting Cauldron, and the Corpse Demon seized the opportunity. His left hand flew out of his body and exploded in the air. The deafening sound was like the sign of death.

Black Corpse Qi rose, and Taoist Baizhang was forced to take a few steps back. He wanted to give chase, but the Corpse Demon had already lost track of him.

He was good at short-distance Earth Escape and concealment. If Tong Yao did not have a spiritual item that could sense the Corpse Qi, she would have been killed by him. Now that he was using it to escape, he was like a fish in water.

As for the Iron Demon, he did not run as fast. He had wanted to take advantage of the explosion to escape, but Zhao Heng had been paying attention to him all the time, even more than the Fate-protecting Cauldron. The Eight Slashes of the Sword Technique were majestic and unstoppable, like the momentum of humanity.

Iron Demon, who was stopped, did not have a good ending. The arrival of Taoist Baizhang announced his death. He was attacked from both front and back, and did not even have time to self-destruct.

The Demon Corpse disintegrated and returned to the Devil Qi that filled his body. The Devil Qi condensed into a dark crystal.

"Senior Baizhang, did something happen to the Fate-protecting Cauldron?" Zhao Heng said as he picked up the demonic crystal, as if it was a matter of course. Tong Yao and Zu Wenzhong didn't even think of stopping him, and felt that it was only natural.

They picked up the other items on the Iron Demon, including a few pieces of paper.

Taoist Baizhang nodded slightly and immediately turned around, rushing toward the center of the ruins where the aura was coming from.

…

The Fire Demon was beheaded. Its body started burning rapidly and turned into a pile of raging fire. The raging fire shrank and condensed into two items. One was a pitch-black magic crystal, and the other was a dark red flame that was slowly burning. It looked like it was sculpted. It was exquisite and beautiful, but it contained a terrifying heat.

"What's this?" Mengqi extinguished the flame on his chest and pointed at the dark red flame with his bare upper body.

"This is the Heart of Demon Fire." The speaker was Ruan Yushu. After finishing off the Evil Demon Army, she also came to help, not giving the two demons a chance to escape. "Rumor has it that evil demons that can communicate with heaven and earth will condense their own Internal Form of the Exterior, which is the source of their various miracles. This is one of them, the Heart of Demon Fire."

On the other side, Soldier Demon only condensed the Devil Crystal and nothing else, perhaps because his body often turned into a weapon.

As soon as Ruan Yushu's voice fell, a boundless Qi rushed to the sky, filling the sky and darkening the world.

"The Fate-protecting Tripod?" Mengqi blurted out, but the aura soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there.

"Is it a natural change, or is it being suppressed?"

"There are outsiders in the ruins?"

The four looked at each other, put away the Heart of Demon Fire and the Devil Crystal, and rushed toward the center of the ruins.

Mengqi took out a Hundred-herb Elixir as he ran, recovering his injuries and spirit.

When he knew that he had encountered Fire Demon, he used the momentum of his saber to throw the items far away, just in case, and only picked them up afterward.

Ruan Yushu took out a set of men's green robes from the Space Ring and threw it to Mengqi.

They ran ahead of Taoist Baizhang, but they were a little late because they were farther away. When they arrived, they saw the solemn expressions of the Taoist. There was a corpse lying on the ground with a smile on his face, as if he was in a dream.

"A wisp of Yin energy directly penetrated the skull and shattered the inside …" The Thunderous Sword Whiz directly revealed the cause of his disciple's death, to see if Mengqi and the others had any clues, and if they were acquaintances.

Mengqi shook his head, indicating that he did not know. "The Fate-protecting Tripod was taken away? Could it be that other demons have sneaked in? "

"Impossible. There were people guarding all four sides. From the time we rushed to the rescue, it was not enough time for the demons to lock on to the Fate-protecting Tripod." Zhao Heng denied.

Mengqi understood what he was implying. If it was not a demon, then it must be someone else. Could it be another Samsara traveler?

"Maybe there were demons in the ruins from the beginning. After eliminating other places, they didn't want to meet us alone, so they hid and waited patiently in the last unsearched place." Taoist Baizhang suggested another possibility. "But my sources are reliable. Iron Demon only invited three helpers, and we don't know who took the Fate-protecting Tripod …"

"If it was a Samsara traveler, judging from the fact that he did not make a move, even if he was stronger than us, he couldn't be much stronger. Or maybe there were other reasons …" Mengqi thought thoughtfully. "Are there any other clues?"

Tong Yao took out the pieces of paper from Iron Demon's body and looked at them carefully. Slightly surprised, she said, "They found the whereabouts of all three Fate-protecting Artifacts!"

"What other two artifacts are there besides the Fate-protecting Tripod?" Zhao Heng asked.

Tong Yao said, "The Nation-Stabilizing Seal is with Zen Master Sanity. According to the information Iron Demon found, the Imperial Jade Bell should be hidden in Zen Master Jiuzhen's Heart-forgetting Hut."

"They found the Heart-forgetting Hut?" Taoist Baizhang asked in shock.

Mengqi and the others were at a loss. They did not understand why they were so surprised. As for Zen Master Sanity, they had heard Zhao Heng introduce him as one of the Three World-saving Sages.

Tong Yao nodded affirmatively. "The Heart-forgetting Hut is in Yanshan Mountain, half a month's journey from here."

As she spoke, she showed the papers to Taoist Baizhang and Zu Wenzhong.

"I didn't expect the Heart-forgetting Hut to reappear …" Zu Wenzhong was full of emotion.

Seeing the expressions of Mengqi and the others, Taoist Baizhang took a light breath and explained, "Zen Master Jiuzhen is a mythical figure."

"In ancient times, the Demonic World was directly connected to our world. Evil demons often came and preyed on flesh and blood. Fortunately, martial arts were flourishing at that time and masters emerged one after another. Then, Zen Master Jiuzhen had an unknown fortuitous encounter and comprehended a peerless Zen skill. He built the Heart-forgetting Hut and became as powerful as an Arhat."

"Benevolent, he entered the Demonic World alone and struck Primogenitor Devil with the Nirvana Palm, causing it to fall into a deep sleep again. Then, he broke the passage to the Demonic World and restored peace to the world. Unfortunately, he died in the Demonic World and the Heart-forgetting Hut was hidden from the world. Unexpectedly, the demons found it after many years with the help of information from the Demonic World."

He folded the papers in his hand and handed them to Mengqi and the others. He recognized their sincerity and strength as helpers in the battle just now.

"Skyscraping True Devil and the other demons don't know about this, but when the Corpse Demon returns, he will definitely report it. The Daoist must get the Imperial Jade Bell before they do. Are you willing to help?" Taoist Baizhang cupped his hands and bowed.

"When will Skyscraping True Devil and the other demons arrive?" Mengqi and the others had only obtained three Demonic Crystals. They were still short of half, so they didn't know whether they should go or not.

Taoist Baizhang pondered for a moment and said, "Yan Mountain and the Skyscraping Palace are in different directions. Skyscraping True Devil will arrive in about ten days if we take into account the exchange of information. Moreover, we have to guard against the person who took the Fate-protecting Cauldron, so we can't delay."

"The other demons won't arrive until a month later. With Skyscraping True Devil's help, what else do we need them to do?"

"That's not enough time …" Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei frowned slightly.
