Mengqi and the others were afraid of losing their way and not being able to return to the exit, so they could only move forward along the river flowing with scarlet water. They moved cautiously along the way, hiding in the strange dark trees and boulders, looking for targets to attack.
Not all evil spirits could condense Magic Crystals. They had to have a certain degree of Devil Qi in their bodies. In other words, they had to be at least as strong as Iron Demon.
"How about that one? I feel like it's below the level of Half-step Exterior Scenery. " Mengqi hid behind a dark boulder that looked like it was covered with human faces. He poked half of his head out and looked at the evil spirit that was eating fish by the river.
This evil spirit was at least three meters tall, with thick and long legs. It held an abnormally heavy devil saber in its hand, and a black aura swirled around its body, so thick that no details could be seen. The fish in its hand was three feet long, with dark green scales, and black hair growing in the gaps. It had a circle of sharp teeth between its lips.
The evil spirit quickly gnawed the black-haired green-scaled fish until only a big bone was left. Its mouth was full of scarlet blood.
"It's him." Jiang Zhiwei answered concisely. Qi Zhengyan and the others didn't object, indicating that they agreed.
So the five of them dispersed. Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan stayed where they were, while Jiang Zhiwei and Zhao Heng surrounded them from the left and right. Mengqi took a deep breath and rushed out!
He didn't think that he could hide from this level of evil spirit in the Demonic Realm. His breath and the effect of the Devil-rinsing Charm were as bright and eye-catching as fireflies in the dark in this filthy and depraved environment.
"Thump, thump, thump!" Mengqi held the saber in his right hand and exerted strength in his legs. He exerted his Moves of Wind-god's Legs to the peak like a heavy chariot, crushing the evil spirit.
The evil spirit was immediately alerted. It turned around and raised its magic saber, chopping at Mengqi. The Knife Qi was surrounded by black fog as if it was the call of the Nine Serenities.
It was three feet tall. Compared to Mengqi, it was like half a mountain, giving people a feeling that it was impossible to defeat.
"Clang!" Ruan Yushu's eyes were focused. He hurriedly played the "Seize" sound of the Eight Sky-dragon's Sounds with his right hand. The evil spirit was suddenly stunned and its Vital Spirit was about to be seized.
Mengqi seized this opportunity. Like a phantom, he made a strange turn and avoided the Knife Qi. He came in front of the evil spirit and shouted.
"Kill!"
As the thunderous roar reverberated through the air, the Fiend Devil shivered.
The Purple Thunder Force was spat out as the long saber slashed nine times in the air. Every slash seemed to tremble in place, like an afterimage, layer by layer compressed, bringing with it a loud roar.
"Boom!"
The nine streaks of purple lightning were like dragons, crackling endlessly. Their heads and tails intertwined, turning into a rolling wheel that struck the evil spirit.
"Bang!"
The Heavenly Thunder Purged Evil, and the demonic Qi around the Evil Demon's body was completely dispersed, revealing its body.
His entire body was covered in black scales, making him look like a lizard. On the surface of his body, there was a blade wound so deep that the bone could be seen. Purple lightning snakes wandered nearby, constantly smashing the disgusting scales.
As soon as the evil spirit recovered from the sound of the zither, it fell into a strong paralysis again.
At the same time, Qi Zhengyan activated the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword. A cold light, like a hornless dragon with a faint blue light, slashed toward the evil spirit.
At the same time, Qi Zhengyan activated the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword. A cold light, like a hornless dragon, slashed at the evil spirit with blue light.
The sword light hit the paralyzed evil spirit and deepened the knife mark. It penetrated its body and dark red blood spurted out. Before it fell to the ground, it had already turned into ice crystals, like frozen blood in the air.
The evil spirit was shrouded in ice. It struggled with all its might, making creaking sounds and obvious cracks.
Just then, Jiang Zhi Wei arrived. Her Sword of the Sun-Penetrating Rainbow carried the deterrence to evil spirits. She crossed the sea, split the mountains and split the oceans, and slashed the mid-brows to the throat.
"Crack!" The thin layer of ice on the evil spirit's face was immediately broken, but its head was also split in half. Black liquid gushed out and its seriously injured Vital Spirit drilled into its body.
The authentic evil spirit was much more tenacious than the product of the Devil Qi, especially in terms of vitality!
"Bang!" The dark golden sword in Zhao Heng's hand moved and twisted. The evil spirit's Vital Spirit was completely shattered and its huge body fell to the ground.
With the five of them working together, the evil spirit, which was slightly stronger than the Snake King, was killed on the spot. Mengqi didn't even have time to stab it with his left hand.
A relatively complete team fighting together was extremely terrifying!
The dark Devil Qi in the evil spirit's body rolled and condensed as its body collapsed, turning into a dark Magic Crystal. Its whole body was either turned into blood or absorbed into the Magic Crystal. Only a blood-red spine was left. Its surface was as smooth as jade, but it was filled with violence and cruelty.
"The Blood-red Demon Bone is a good material for refining weapons." Ruan Yushu followed up and commented.
Mengqi turned to Zhao Heng and said, "Let her keep it first. We'll exchange it for Karma points when we get back."
"Okay." Zhao Heng answered indifferently, which made Mengqi think that he was a tycoon who didn't care about "money".
After keeping the Blood-red Demon Bone and Magic Crystal, Mengqi and the others didn't dare to go any deeper. They searched for other evil spirits nearby.
After bypassing a forest by the river, Mengqi's eyes suddenly widened. He saw the huge golden swastika right in front of him. He didn't know if it was close or far, but it was right in front of him. The glazed Buddha's light and the Zen Demon's roar were the same as before.
"Why is it here?
Didn't we walk in the opposite direction on purpose? "
Countless thoughts surged in Mengqi's mind. He turned to look at Jiang Zhiwei and the others. They all looked surprised.
"There shouldn't be many Primogenitor Devils suppressed by the Buddha's light …" Qi Zhengyan frowned.
Mengqi nodded slightly and said solemnly, "If there isn't a swastika on all sides, it means that no matter which direction we go, we'll reach the True Devil of the Buddha's light."
"It's possible that when Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen crushed Primogenitor Devil and sealed it, he also suppressed the surrounding evil spirits so that they couldn't walk out of this area. No matter how they go, they'll return to the core. The entrance of the Demonic World's passage is the evil spirits' attempt to escape …" Jiang Zhiwei speculated based on her own experience.
Ruan Yushu was about to speak when a blurry, human-like bloody shadow suddenly jumped out of the river. It was so bloody and filthy that Mengqi couldn't help but tremble.
"An evil spirit that just entered the Exterior level?"
Mengqi was shocked and stunned, but he didn't have time to attack. The bloody shadow was so fast that he couldn't catch it. It pounced on Jiang Zhiwei.
There was a flash of bloody light and a shattering sound. It couldn't penetrate Jiang Zhiwei's body and devour her flesh and blood.
"Water-based Fish-scale Soft Armor?" Mengqi was overjoyed. His spirit gushed out and a warm and clean flame suddenly lit up in his chest.
A bluish-white lamp slowly floated up and stood in front of Mengqi. The light was not bright or brilliant, but it spread out warmly without a trace of evil. It illuminated all the nearby corners, not even a shadow could be seen. A peaceful and solemn feeling filled the air.
"Amitabha."
"What are you doing, Damiho?"
The bloody shadow suddenly screamed. Rays of bloody light appeared on the surface of its body as if it wanted to be purified in the light of the bluish-white lamp.
"Demon Subduing Pagoda!" Mengqi roared with his blade, "Heaven Inflicted Pain" in his right hand and "Flowing Fire" in his left.
He wasn't of the Exterior level and the Buddha's Lamp was broken. It was difficult to purify this evil spirit that just entered the Exterior level!
When the bloody shadow pounced on Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu had already taken out the Demon Subduing Pagoda. He took advantage of the influence of the Buddha's Lamp to cast it.
The seven-story Glazed Pagoda shone brightly. On each floor, there were Arhats and Bodhisattvas, each preaching sutras and forming a vast and mighty shadow.
The Buddha's Light of Glazed Pagoda fell. The bloody shadow had nowhere to hide in the light of the bluish-white lamp. It couldn't dodge and was directly pressed on top of its head.
Devil Qi gushed out of his body and the vague feeling of the bloody shadow disappeared, revealing its original appearance. It turned out to be a bloody devil skin with eyes and a nose!
Only five breaths of time! Without thinking, Mengqi stabbed out with his sword.
Flowing Fire was like a sunset glow, beautiful beyond compare. It didn't change and didn't have any tricks up its sleeves. It went straight for the bloody skin.
With this strike, the bluish-white lamp dimmed and shrank back to its original size, hanging on Mengqi's chest again.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle." Flowing Fire pierced the bloody skin as if it was burning grease, leaving obvious holes. The flames spread and burned every inch of its skin.
The bloody demon screamed as if it was in pain.
Without the illumination of the bluish-white lamp, it regained some of its mobility, but it wasn't as hard to catch as before. Qi Zhengyan followed closely behind Mengqi and performed the "Thousand-mile Ice". The cold light turned into Sword Qi and once again brought along black snow. The snow was frozen layer by layer and glittered, freezing the bloody demon inside.
Jiang Zhiwei adjusted her breath and used this opportunity to attack without holding back. The Buddha's Light dimmed and it seemed that there was only a bright sword light between heaven and earth.
The sword light followed a certain pattern and easily penetrated the layer of ice. It touched the forehead of the bloody devil skin. The Sword Qi surged and the deterrent effect was obvious, mincing the Vital Spirit.
The Dragon of Qi behind Zhao Heng condensed. As he struck out with his left palm, it opened up and swallowed the bloody devil skin, cutting it continuously.
Pieces fell to the ground and the Vital Spirit of the bloody demon was destroyed.
Mengqi secretly rejoiced. If not for the Demon-subduing Tower, with the ability of the bloody demon to be immune to normal damage, they would have been in danger. Their only chance was for the little foodie to use the 12 Magical Sounds of Langhuan and Senior Brother Qi to use all his strength to launch an Exterior-level attack to control it. At that time, he would use Sky Thunder and a trace of Eight Groups Sky Dragon Fire to try and kill the demon. If Zhiwei and Zhao Heng had similar methods, there was still hope. Otherwise, when the bloody demon recovered, it would be a pile of human skin.
The surging Devil Qi returned and condensed into a blood-colored Demonic Crystal.
Most of the bloody skin melted into the black soil, leaving only a palm-sized remnant.
Jiang Zhiwei shook her clothes and the Fish-scaled Soft Armor inside turned into black ash. Without it, Jiang Zhiwei might have died on the spot, unless her Master had given her another life-saving method.
The Fish-scaled Soft Armor contained Penbo Erba's Blood Essence. The bloody demon had swallowed it first, which was why it was blocked.
"I have to thank Penbo Erba for saving me and Zhiwei's lives …" Mengqi secretly sighed. His Fish-scaled Soft Armor had been broken by the Flame-scorching Devilman's last strike when they were besieged at the Mountain God Temple. It could not be repaired, but it had been exchanged for victory against three enemies. It was worth it.
"Are you alright?" Mengqi asked with concern.
Jiang Zhiwei sighed and shook her head. "I'm fine."
"We already have five Demonic Crystals. Even if Bluecloud Progenitor only has one, it's enough to blow up the passage. Why don't we turn back and hide near the entrance? If we encounter powerful evil spirits, we can return to the Skyscraping Palace directly. They can't come through the unstable passage," Mengqi suggested.
"Alright." Ruan Yushu didn't say anything else. Qi Zhengyan only nodded.
Jiang Zhiwei gently nodded. "Let's try to kill one more evil spirit below the Exterior level on our way back."
"I hope Bluecloud Progenitor won't let us down." Zhao Heng sighed. Bluecloud Progenitor was of the Exterior level. Killing evil spirits below the Half-step would be as easy as killing chickens and dogs. It would be easy for her to get a Demonic Crystal. He was just worried that she would be blinded by greed and want to go deeper.
The five of them returned along the Blood River. Before long, they saw a dark hole in the void.
Suddenly, a demonic roar overpowered the Zen chants at the core suppressed by the swastika. A black hurricane emerged and blew in all directions!
